Easure Paroles.

The Louisville Journal echoes the words
Of the Richmond Wing that the American
party 10 "dead, dead, dead,'' and calls for a
union Of the conservatives North and South,
IN opposition to the administration
Il certainly will not be understood a. spo.
ken in reproach, for US to say what these two
leading Fillmore journals have said already.
And we do not say it in derision or reproach.
We state it as fact. The American party.
90 called, il dead-dead forever. The Rich.
nond Whigis earnest and eloquent in the
proposition contained in the aboy item. 1t
even says it is willing to affiliate freely and
cordially with Black Republicans, or
any body, to the end proposed. But is not
the cause OF the death Of the American party
- plain as the fact Of its death? Did not
its death follow from the fact that il took no
practical part in the living issue OF the day
Did not the party fall in pieces because the
people rallied under other standards. that
their influence might be felt in the decision
OF that question which was Of paramount
Importance in the public mind? Is that
question settled yet2 If not, is there more
prospec. now than hitherto that the public
mind can be withdrawn from it until i, il p
And Il 1t cannot be, is the ORGANIC alton of
such party as is proposed above, practi-
cal, possible thing To sum up the whole
matter, is it not clear that this question Of
very-Extension must be settled that
nis . question between the Republican and
so-cailed Democratic parties that it must
remain between them, and those two parties
remain the only living organisms, until that
question is settleds II seems to US that a
broad, practical, statesmanlike view Of Amer
'can politics leads inevitably to that conclu.

SALE or THE FoRT SMELLING RESPIRATION
Rely TO THE CHARGES OF FEAUD.-One Of our

This property, bascd principally on the ground
that The lands were disposed Of at private sale,
instead Of at public auction it being alleged that if
they bad been put up to public competition they
would have prcdloed slOo an acre, instead of

The answers 30 both these complaints will be
found in the ofhoial papers which we publish on
the subject The Secretary Of War, in appoint.
ing t3o agents 70 dispose Of this property, loft

In the exercise of that discretion they sold al pEi

reason that combinations hsd been made to keep

II seems, therefore. that the advantage acoruing

the circumstances the agents appointed by the
