within the pulpit echoes Of the form and fashion
OF Longfellow's "Hiawatha." In the forepart

dribbling forth its stinted measure. Very
painful twas to hear it, very pleasant to the
speaker; love was the all-graceful subject:ouite
unlovely was the treatment. But twas with

PROSPECTUS OF THE WASHINGTON
AMERICAN.

We can hardly think it necessary to. arge
upon those who hold that Americans ought to
,rule America, the importance of havinga paper
: at the seat of the Federal Government which
shall enunciate and advocate the doctrines
the American party.
A paper issued from any of the great centres
of nation, but especially from the political
Metropolis, in the present age, not IN this
country only, but in Great Britain, France, and
wherever there is the least freedom OF discus
sion, is a medium rough which those hold
ing similar sentiments in regard to public al
fairs and public policy, may make known, dis
cuss and defend their views, and expose the
impropriety Of the principles and the impolicy
of the measures Of their antagonists. 1t should
earnestly labor to give a proper direction to
public opinion by enlightening the public
mind.
The AMERICAN is the only paper published
at the seat Of the Federal Government which
advocates Americon doctrines; the only SEN
tineiof the party stationed where near and
clear view can be had of the movements and
doines of their opponents at their headquarters
Here political information concentrates, and
from hence it radiates to every part OF the en-
pire; here party measures and movements are
determined, and political campaigns planned;
here stratagems are concocted and thwarted,
f. and here at certain seasons OF tne year poht-
clans most do congregate; here, in short, is
the centre of the great political maelstrom in
which so many thousands are constantly plung-
ing and forever gyrating.
Ifthe American party is desirous of being
national party, it should not be without
paper here through which it can make known
to all people its views, aims and opinions, and
which shat, also refute the calumnies that are
from time to time uttered against it through
ignorance or less excusable motive; and we,
therefore, take hope that the AMERICAN, stand
ing, as it will stand upon the platform OF the
american party, advocating, as it will advo-
cate, the paramount rights of native-born clti-
zens, eschewing, as it will eschew, all interfer.
ence with slavery as national concern, and
maintaining, as it will maintain, perfect free
dom of opinion and of conscience in religion,
will find favor in the eyes Of all truly patriotic
citizens in the land, and commend itself to their
generous support :.
Lest we may not have been specific enough
in declaring our principles, we add, that the
FAREWELL ADDRESS Of the Father of his coun-
try, as illustrated by the broad light of his adj
minstration, is our political textbook and odde
mecum and shall be our compass and chart
