POLITICAL INTEGRITY.

The most cursory observer Of the proceed
ings of politicians cannot fail to be forced to
the conclusion that craftsmanship in this
Country is fast becoming mere matter of his
tory. The days when a Calhoun, Clay, a
Webster graced the United States Senate, and
through their comprehensive views, and their
love Of justice, made our Nation respected
both at home and abroad, have passed. Con-
gress now, with here and there an exception,
is composed of demagogues, whose intellects
have scarce the power to comprehend cor
rect principle, and whose practices form the
modern idea of the greatest good to the great
est number"-that number being number one.
The greatest difficulty in our national legis-
lation is that principles which even the polit-
cal tyro perceives to be correct cannot be
made the basis Of party action Everything
must be done for expediency alone. Parties
are arrayed upon sectional considerations, and
their controllers have not the sense to perceive
that in trampling upon the right they create
precedents which are sure in the end to ruin
those for whose apparent benefit the right was
sacrificed. The leading minds of the nation
are too much Inscribed in mercenary consider
atoms Presidential patronage has grown into
an enormous upas tree, which corrupts the
! very atmosphere Of those who breathe it.
From the foreign minister to the post office
clerk, surrender Of private judgment is vir-
tually demanded, and as q matter Of course,
Government stipendiaries from the highest to
the lowest grade, are mere automatic who
dance at the bidding of the appointing power
| Under such circumstances we do not marvel
at the disappearance Of political integrity. In
an active nation like this, where thu almighty
dollar is the aim of.the exertions of most Of
our people, we early get an idea that guid
pro quo is demanded for everything The
Government officer, whose salary is enormous
ly large in proportion to the work which he is
required to perform, knows that to secure his
position permanently, he must do the dirty
work Of the appointing power, and all manli-
ness and selfrespect is necessarily crushed out
Of him. Men Of mind and character are slow
to accept positions under such conditions, and
consequently, year by year, the character of
Government subordinates deteriorates.
Meanwhile the contamination of want of
principle spreads among the people smart
enterprising young man soon ascertains that
principle stands in the way of his political
preferment. If his moral nature is capable of
being subverted he soon learns how to sti1e
the voice Of conscience and to bindly follow
the dictates Of his superiors. He also discerns
that il he can make up in noise what his argu-
ments may lack in sense, he will receive the
appreciation and rewards of his party, and the
deoensus aCorni becomes rapid and certain.
With such case operating upon the middle
and lower classes, who are not at all aspiring

The Destruction OF Jerusalem.

A few weeks ago Sir E. Bulwer Lytton de.
livcred lecture in Lincoln, which city he has
for number of years represented in Parlia-
ment on the early history of Eastern nations.
He gave an outline of the history of the Baby
lonian, Assyrian, Persian, Egyptian, Greek
and Jewish nations, and closed with the fol-
lowing powerful and dramatic description Of
the destruction Of Jerusalem by Titus:
"Six years after the birth of our Lord,
Judea and Samaria became Roman province,
under subordinate governors, the most famous
of whom was Pontius PLATE. These Cover.
nors became so oppressive that the Jews broke
out in open rebellion; and seventy years after
Christ Jerusalem was finally bcsciged by
Titus, afterwards Emperor of Rome. No
tragedy on the Stage has the same scenes Of
appalling terror as are to be found in the his
tory of this siege. The city itself was rent
by factions at the deadiest war with each
other--al the clements Of civil hatred had
broke looseAthe streets were slippery with
the blood Of citizens--brother slew brother
granaries were set on fire--famine wasted
those whom the sword did not slay. In the
midst Of these civil massacres, the Roman
armies appeared before the rival factions
united against the common foe; they were
again the gallant countrymcn Of David and
Joshua--they sailed forth and scatterad the
eagles Of Rome. But this triumph was brief;

A Story OF FEMALE HERoIsM. the course
of recent speech in Congress, by the Hon.
Joseph Lane, Of Oregon, he related the following
incident which occurred in the Indian war Of
Oregon:
While in Oregon last summer, / took occasion
to inquire of the chief who was mainly instru-
mental in getting up this war, to learn the
particulars of the fate ofsome of our people who
disappeared in that war Of 1865, and of whom
we had been able to learn nothing.
When suggested to the agent, in the coun-
Gil, that proposed to inquire the fate Of Mrs.
Wagner, Mrs. Haynes, and others, he was
inclined to think it would raise the bitter feelings
Of the Indians, but said that we could make the
inquiry. told him that had passed through
the country where these people had lived, and
that their friends were very anxious to learn
their fate. We inquired in relation to Mrs.
Wagner, who was well educated and handsome
woman from New York, who had lived long in
the countryandspoke the Indsntongue fuently.
She kept public house by the roadside, and
the good cheer which she always furnished
made ita placewhere travellers delighted to stop.
The Indians informed us that on the morning
Of the 9th of October they came in sight of the
house, where they met some teamsters and
packers, portion Of whom they murdered,
destroying the wagons and cargoes, as well az
the animals, while she was standing in the door.
As soon as they had murdered tho people
outside, they came towards the house, which
was strongly built Of hewn logs, and had q
heavy door, which fastened with cross bars
When she saw them running toward the house
she shut the door, and dropped the bars to
prevent their coming in. They came to the
door, and ordered her to come out, and bring
out her little girl She said, "no."
Her husband was absent--and, by-the-way,
he was the only man on the road who escaped
They said that if she did not come out they
would shoot her. She declined: and, after some
deliberation, they determined to set the house
on fire. The house was directly envclopod in
flames; and the chief who watched her through
little window, told us that he saw her 60 to the
glass and arrange her hair, then take seat in
the middle Of the room, fold her little girl in her
arms, and wait calmly until the roof fell in, and
they perished in the flames together. And the
statement was confirmed by the people who
found their remains lying together in the mid
die Of the house.

AUDACIoUs CALUMNY.

hood that base, INSCRIPTIONS partisan sheet

"THE PUBLIC PBAcE.-This city has not, it
appears by the criminal records, vet recovered
from the misrue of Known Nothingism two
years ago, so ably denounced at that time by
the Democratic journals, ms may be seen by re-
ference to their files. Neither is it to be ex-
pected that in so large apopulation there should
be perfect peace and harmony, especially dur
ing such heated-ferm as that through which
we are now sweltering"
BY reference to our columns, It win be
seen that our city was never more infested with
gangs of rufiianly rowdies than it has been
since the election Of Berret as Mayor. Who
these ruflians are, everybody knows; they are
the same who created so much disturbance on
the day Of election, and perambulated the city
from poll to poll endeayoring to create riots,
and who succeeded at the City Hall, and some
other places. They are Berret's special friends
Of the States Hose. And yet the Union would
lead people into the belief that these ragamuf-
fin, vagabond scoundrels are know w-nothipgs,
and that all the mischief they are perpetrating-
the attacking and beating those who voted for
Wallach, burning Mr.. Berry's house because
he told the truth about Borret--is done by
Know Nothings The Union does not expect
to be believed here; its lies are manufactured
for those at distance who do not know that
they are lies.

"THE UNION OF THE UNIONISTS, FOR
THE SAKE OF THE UNIONll"

W- With the present number, the publica-
ton Of the AMERICAN will be suspended until
next December, when it will be resumed under
more favorable auspices, and with more means
4 in hand to insure its success.
We regret our inability to 60 on with it,
but as the americans of this city are oppress-
cd and depressed, deprived of all employment
under the government and hunted down,
prosecuted, traduced and illuminated, few Of
them have the ability or the spirit to do for
q paper advocating their cause what is neces-
sary to be done to enable it to succeed. Some
Of them have acted noby and generously; we
honor and feel grateful to them for their aid
and cheering countenance; others, We are will
ing to believe, would have been equally liberal
had they been able to be SO; while others gave
US many encouraging words and promises of
great things, whose sayings" and doings !"
have proved to be very distantly related to each
other; the one being very large, and the other
very dirninuhve4
That the pape has been ably conducted, we
have the amplst testimony, not only of the
americans ofthis city, but of the american
press generay; and our encouragement from
4 distant Subscribers has been cheering; indeed,
but for the subscriptions we have received from
the country, we should have been compelled to
give up long ago.
tt our country subscribers, as well as to our
;. .aityy subscribers who have paid in advance, VIC
express our sincere regret that we cannot at
once refund them the amount due; but while
more is due to us for the paper than has been
thus paid in advance, we find it an almost hope
less task to collect our dues; if we could do so,
we could at once discharge every debt the paper
owes.
We have labored on for more than ten months
under exceedingly discouraging circumstances,
hoping that the future might be more encour-
aging than the past, and that the americans
of the whole Union would feel the want Of
paper expressing their sentiments at the scat
Of the Federal Government; but if they feel
any such want, they have not been prompt
enough for our necessities, in making their
wishes manifest With our present limited
means, we find ourselves compelled to call
halt; to take breath, to rest awhile recruit, and
get "matcrial aid" which we hope to have by

been done by any Of these Conventions to
preserve our interests as people, or protect
our rights as political equals in the Govern
menta Nothing in the past and nothing win
be done by them in the future When the
South gets ready to dissolve the Union, all she
has to do is to reassemble the Southern Com
mercial Convention which met at Montgomery,
and give the word-twould come. In one
way these Conventions do good They serve
admirably as escape valves for gassy bodies,
that would otherwise burst. It is diminu-
tive stage, whereon men dressed in little
brief authority splurge extensively, without
much danger to any body but themselves.

To which the Savannah Republican, the
leading Independent paper Of Georgia, responds
in this style:
"Aha The scales are at last falling from
your eyes, are theyP For uttering the same
sentiments concerning the Convention, from
the first time we had an opportunity Of know
ing anything Of its true character, we were
denounced by the presses and politicians Of the
Federal Union stripe, as inimical to the pros
perity and commercial independence of the
South"
The Montgomery (Ala) Confederate, high
pressure) does not pretend to conceal its dis
like, and the Paulding (Miss.) Clarion, (Dem }
referring to the fact that the time Of the assem-
blage was mostly occupied in discussing the
revival of the slaue trade, has the following
pertinent remarks:
"No man in his senses ever expects to see
Congress, under the present Confederacy,
that will repeal the slave trade Statutes What
then can be the good-what is the object of
this agitation9 Is it simply for the love of
agitation, or is it the part of scheme to COM
init the South to extreme and impracticable
demands upon the General Government, which
will drive from her support all the Constitu-
tional men Of the North, and thus draw the
line of sectionalism so broad and deep as to
render the continuance of the Union impossi-
blep 1t really seems as if this were the chief
purposes, as it is certainly the direct tendency
Of this movement"

Union, that no more of these peripatetic meet
ings may be held, we are indifferent. We do not
care straw whether more take place or not.
Nobody is responsible for what is said or done

sense do they represent the sentiments of the
people of the South, and as everybody now
knows this, they must be impotent alike for

"You are to know that Madame dc, was

first night he gave his ut de poitrine. Well,

down with grace: that woman could do moth
