REVOLUTION OF PARTIEs.TN MISSOURI.
Since tue elections North'and South have
demonstrated the dissolution of the Amcri-
can party, the citizens of Missouri who made
| the recent great rally under'the lead Of Ma
jor ROLLINS, have determined TO abandon
their old organizations as Wings, Ameri-
cans, and Benton Democrats, and to unite
in one grand consolidated party, bearing
the eognomen Of Union Democrats. The
st. Louis igtetiigencsr says that this coali-
tion has been actively progressing IN the
western and sothWestern counties of the
State. The idea i to make conservative
union party opposed TO Atchison and his
Nullifers. In the Columbia Statesman
(Which paper is suppose to reflect the sec
timents Of Maior RoLLINs,l appears an arti-
Gle strongly commencing the movement, and
the Jefferson Inquirer, the largest circula-
ting and most influential Democratic journal
in the interior of Missouri, also conta. as IN
article pointing in the same direction. 1t
is designed to construct a platform which,
shall be acceptable to the three leading el-
ements of the union, so that, without being
either Free Soil or Know Nothing, it will
oppose Border Rufianism and the aggrava-
ted evils Of foreign influence! In slave
State like Missouri, this movement is
very important one.

THE DAILY NEWS.

/ lit seems that our article Of week before
last defining Mr. Hazelhurst's position, ha'
given mortal offence to the Daily .News o.
Philadelphia; and it thereupon proceeds
to abuse US roundly, and at length, and
challenges us to reply. In the first place.
we never expected our course on this quos.
ton to meet the appreciation IF the Lccofo-
cos, nor any of their aiiies; aud the disap-
probation OF the Mems is therefore quite nat
ural.
| In the next place, it seems we made a
grave mistake in alledging that ony ''solne
half-dnzen" members of the American State
Council dissented from the endorsement Civ
en- by it to the Union State ticket. We
wrote merely from our recollection Of the
facts, and without any copy of proceedings
at hand. We are reminded by the News
that the State Council is 'ecomposed-o of some
1900 MEMBERS" and that the actual number
who seeded was ''SiGteen." Our error does
not seem tohave been one of much substance
t0n the contrary when the whole truth is
given, matters look worse even than we rep
resented them. One of the Resolutions Of
the State Council was as follows:
ssResoiuei: That this State Council deem
it inexpedient to make distinctive nom
nation, and it will not issue call for
separate American Convention"
In the other Resolutions it endorsed both
the Platform and candidates of the Union
Convention, and recommended them 10 the
adoption aud support of the members of the
American party. These illustrious ''Sir-
teen," disappearing of all this, seeded and
in reputation and defiance of the action of
the majority OF the Council issu ed call of
their own for convention TO meet at Lam
caster, not to nominate ticket but ssto deter
mine tcSat cOa'Se to pursue IN the camPaign.''
When this Convention met, although ouly
eight counties out of the whole sixty-!our
were represented, they proceeded tojaominate
Mr.. HAZEIHURsT, and his associates on the
ticket; and this is the ticket now supported
BY the Daily .Ntus, and BY the York Eagle,
and by paper at Norristown, called, we
believe tie National Defender, aud so far
as We can learn, by no other paper in the
whole State And we see by the Phiiadei-
phia Sun, that three fourths of those who
signed the call are now out and out fol
Wilmot.
The ,News chuckles over the idea fhat
there is prospect that Hazelhurst may get
enough votes to defeat Wi!mot, and this
delight is evidently in no degree lessened
by the consideration that the defe at Of Viii
mot would be the election of Packer. If
We know the Americans of Bedford Coua-
~, they have 40 sympathy with those who
deliberately repudiate the action Of the
State Council, aud especially when it is so
manifestly done to elect Packer, if such a
thing be possible. We assigned Mr. IIa-
zelhurst his true position in our former ar
ticle; and neither the anathemas nor the in
genuity of the .Assvs can explain it away.

II. DUonrn on00rn.

This rising political mountehank, who
was recently raised from the obscurity winch
otherwise bid him from public notice by be-
ing elevated to the dignity Of Chairman Of
the American State Commttee, is at pres
ent attracting some attention and getting
his name into the newspapers For sonic
weeks past he has been Perambulating the
State, having in charge and exhibiting at
stated times and places one Isaac kazei-
hurst, whom he introduces to the curious as
as the American" candidate for Governor
Of Peunsy lvania. On the occasion of his
exhibition ut Bedford a week or so ago lie
made speech, the substance Of which was
reported in the next issue of the Gazette
with evident gusto. He is reported to have
beea very severe on the Black Republicans,
and charged them with any amount of crime
and corruption. He said they had lots of
money last summer, aud used it effectually
in subsidizing the American party and its
organs to the cause ef Fremont Among
other presses thus bought over he instanced
the Cambria Tribune Ee is not reported
as Laving mentioned the sum employed in
the purchase, but rumor says we are char
ged with having received one Thousand DOL
Lars.
When this report FIRST reached chr ears,
we considered the thing too ridiculous to
require denial, and we let week pass
without noticing it. Nor do we think even
now that those who know US best will re-
quire any such contradiction FROM us but
seeing that the lies of this fellow may be
taken advantage of by our locofoco oppo-
nents TO our injury and that Of the cause in
which we are enlisted, we deem it necessary
to put in distinct and emphatic denial Of
the charge, lest our silence should be mis-
/ interpreted His charge is, that We took
down the names of Fillmore aud Donclson
and put in their place those Of Fremont and
Dayton, and report gives US thousand dob
lars for the service Now, while we confess
to the taking down part, our files will show
that the name of Fremont never was at the
head of our paper, and that we never sup
ported him directly: and as to the money
We utterly deny that We ever received a
dollar from any party for any service but
what we fairly and honestly earned OI
course the public has only our word fol
this; bat then we defy Bucher Swoope, Oh
any Of bis clique, to prove the contrary
And to give him or his friends a chance tc
make good the charge, we pronounce it ri
unqualified falsehood, and the man who first
uttered it an INSCRIPTIONS liar. We call
upon MIR. Swoope to retract it, or give the
authority by which be makes it, otherwise
we will hold him legally responsible.
The truth is, both the American and Re.
publican parties are indebted to us for
printing done during the campaign, which
we have long since put to the account Of
! profit aud loss. Neither party appreciated
