AMERIcANIsM IN NEW YoRK.--T New York
press seems to be unanimous In regarding the
ticket nominated by the American State Conven-
ton as of the best ever placed before the peo-
pie Of that State. The Rochester American says :
I" There is no Disgusting the fact, that the pros
pect Of Success for the American party at the
coming State election has vastly improved within
the last week. 1t seems to be tho universal opin-
ion that the Democratic Convention has, in great
measure, thrown. away the chances which that
party possessed to secure an easy victory by
nominating one Of the weakest tickets ever pre-
sented for the suages of the people Of this State
This improved feeling was felt before the recent
nominations were made. NoW it is seen and ac-
knowledged. The Auburn American says:
"The American party in the State of New York
will poll larger vote in November, 1857, than it
ever polled before. Mark this prediction! The
Presidential and Gubernatorial vote Of last Novem-
Der had little to do with the vote OF next Novem-
Der The fuss and nonsense conjured up in the
popular mind about Bleeding Kansas" have
passed away. That storm is over They cannot
again distract the good Judgment of calm and
thinking men. Voters will this fall put everything
in politics just where political matters in all their
phases and aspects, belong. There will be no de-
fusion, no tempest of passion, no false issues"

(. TIE GREAT sTEELE.n

The Louisville Journal wishes "to know what
justification, or excuse, IL any the Democratic
organs set up for that scandalous business pot
the Fort Smelling reserve, where, as the coun.
try knows, an Immensely valuable tract vas pri-
vatey sold to chosen fayorites 90 five dollars
per acre when it would, at public auction Or at
any private sale open TO fair competition, have
brought at least fifty or one hundred dollars per
acre.
I'm truth, there can be no justification OF this
vile job nor any plausible apology for 1t. Ii was
neither more nor less than an open, palpable, and
direct sacrifice Of u large and important national
interest to the rewardng Of partisan fayorites.
The thing was as bad just as bad, as the grabbing
of half million of dollars from the United States
Treasury for the same purpose would have been.
And the administration, aye the President himself,
is responsible for the iniquity, whether he knew
beforehand what was to be done and assented to
it or rot He certainly knows aow what has beer,
dome, and he assents to it by keeping in Office
those who did it,
VERY much could justly be said in favor of the
allowance Of the famous Gaphin claim, that is the
allowance of interest upon debt, the principal OF
which had many years before been acknowledged
and paid by the government, but we defy political
ingenuity to say one plausible word in extenuaton
of the corruption in the affair OF the Fort Smelling
sale. That sale shows that all kinds Of dishonesty
and malfeasance in Office may be expected to be
practiced to the very end of the Buchanan ad.
