MR.. MCPHERSON AND "AMERlCAN-
ISM"
Mr. EDwARp McPHERsoN, the Abolition
candidate for Congress in this District, has pub
Iished an ssAdaress," in which be states, Ssrja-
lin, the various grounds upon which he bases
his cio,ns to the support of the people. These
grounds are, first, "a HlcH TARIFF" second
ly, CAN'T -LEcoMProNIsM - thirdly and lastly,
ssTHE EXPENDITURES OF THE GoveRNMENT."-
these subjects are iailacious and forceiess, and
that they are mere attempts to shift responsi-
bilties from the shoulders Of his own party,
who, in every of honesty and justice, must

We have hitherto spoken OF the subjects which
MR MCPHERsoN has treated; we shall, now,
have something TO say of some OF those which
he has left untouched He has ranted ard phi
.losophized on the subject OF the "Tarlff''' he
has raved and harangued On the Kansas question;
| he has declaimed against and prevarlcated con-
| cerning the expenses of the National Admins
,ration; but what has he said about 'sAmprican-
ism ~ what illusions has he made 10 the doc
! trines of that party which declares that Gamer
Icans shall rule America Z" what expression OF
sympathy with the Fillmore men of Bedford
County, has he made in his speeches, or hls pub

10 show that he has any thing in common nm
the "An.tricans; )" not Nord has be spoken
to indicate that he has any love for their prin-
ciplrs. He has not even honored them as much
as 10 mention their name. He passes them by
with contempt. He ignores their organization
their principles, their very existence. Even
Wilmot treated them with more respect. Hc
smiled upon them very pleasantly, when here
last Fall, but, then, his case was different from
that OF Ma. McPneRsoN. WImot had an ga
mercan" competitor, MR. HAzLEHURsT, 10 fight
against, whilst McPHERsoN has not. The for
mer was compelled 10 court the "Amerlcans y
the latter (McPherson) imagnes that, as the
''AxneriCans'' have no candidate of their own,
they will vote for him al any rate, and, there
fore, does not deign even 10 ask them for their
support. He suPPoses that lie can afford to
treat them Independently and, consequently.

Der that Edward Mcpherson was secretary ot
the WILmoT STATE Committee, last Fall, and
that he did all that lay in his power 10 lessen

cans" read the ssAddress'' of Mr. McPHERsoN
as published in the Abolition papers OF this

can ind a single word in it, concerning THEN
peculiar doctrines. Let them read it and see
whether they are not contemptuousIy ignored

justifable IN Ignoring, with the same contempt
