From the Holly Springs Times.
ANIEISICANISyI.

During the Presidential campaign it
was often remarked that the contest
between the American and Democratic
parties was more for men than meas
uees. This was not strictly true, for
each party, in supporting their respec-
tive candidates, believed they were
supporting the measures Of their party.
But it must be admitted that, with the
American party, the fundamental prin-
ciple npon which their faith is based
viz: that "The Americans ought to rule
America" was leas topic of discus
sion than the merits and measures Of
MIR. Fillmore. We observed this, and
regretted it ut the time; not that we
would have less said in favor of Mr..
Fillmore, but we would that the Amer
lean feature of the party had been
more prominent than it was. We are
happy now to see that the party is re-
turning to, or rather is making more
prominent its former land marks
From different sections of the country
we see accounts Of the meetings Of
councils, and the appointment and or.
ganization of committees for the pur-
pose Of elicitin2 information, for cor
respondence, concert of action, diffusion
of statistical information, &c. This is
as it should be. The great principles
of our party are ofvital Importance to
our country. Withouta change in the
naturalization laws, the foreign born
population will soon hold the balance
Of power in their own hands, and as
they nearly allvote one way, it is easy
to see that demagogues will cater to
their prejudices for the sake of their
votes. Catholic bishops already boast
that in the free States they elect whom
they will to Office. Nor is this an idle
boast; is it not the truth? Whichever
way the foreign vote is cast, the scale
ofelcction is turned. They have then,
at the present time, an element of pow
err, and who cannot sec that it is dan
gerous element? Tho mandate of a
bishop controls an election. Why not
abolish elections? Are they not a
farce in States where foreigners decide
| the contest? If the behest of bishop
sways the clans and controls elections
why not give to his reverence the APP
pointing power direct? Is not the end
the same? Surely Americans, that
love their country and deprccate the
growing evils Of forcigninhuence, sho'd
never cease to battle in thoir countrys
cause. The evil may yet be arrested,
the designs of papal rulers may yet be
thwarted; but if no Instructions are
thrown in their way for twenty years
to come, tho only way to settle tho
question will be with the sword.

allowing courts of law to admit persons
charged with murder 20 bail, and giving
them general discretion as to bail in ali

The House bill which commissions
Win. II. Sbannard as Sheriff of Doug
las, and legalizes his past acts as sheriff
passed the House almost without oppo.
sition, and has got to the third reading
in the Council without dissenting
voice.
This bill, which will beyond doubt be
ratified, by tho next vote Of the Council
sets at defiance Gov. Geaty's refusal to
commission Sbannard, his Instructions
from Government, and all the reasons
herewith connected Shannard's charac.
