ry- The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser has

~ The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser has
some judicious remarks upon an article it CO.
pies from the Richmond Whig upon the recon-
struction Of parties. II sees in the various op-
position parties, the elements necessary to con-
struct great national, conservative, Union
party. That paper says:
"All that is needed to accomplish this is
union in good faith on the platform of opposi.
ton. Affirmative measures will arise in due
time, but they should be left to the harmonizing
influences Of association, and large charity
should be exercised on minor points of differ.
ence Names and platforms are the real obsta-
cles in the way, in this case as in all Others
More good measures have been defeated by the
attempt to construct party platforms than by
any otter means"
"The next Congress, says the Commercial,
should leave the administration in minority"
and we doubt not ii will. We cannot Tor a
moment suppose that any one who stood firmly
up to the Crittenden amendment, will be de-
feated in the next Congressional elections, while
large number Of those who have misrepre,
sented their constituents on the Lecompton
question, will undoubtedly be permitted to "go
into state Of retiracy," there to chew the cud
Of sweet and bitter reflection.
Parties cannot be arbitrarily formed; they
spring naturally out Of the feelings and i'm
pulses Of the masses Of the people when stirred
up by questions, measures, or acts which deeply
concern them and the honor and interests OF
the country. A common interest, a common
danger or common injury bring men to-.
gether and prompt them to act in concert, who
may have been, up to that moment entire
strangers to each other, or even bitter ene-
mics. The paper we have quoted very pert.
nently recalls the historic fact to memory, that
il was the oppressiveness of the stamp tax, the
Boston port bill, the tax upon tea, &c, which
drew together the patriots Of the Revolution,
and caused them to act in unison and concert
in the ever memorable and glorious struggle Of
the Revolution. "The rallying cry then was
for all who were opposed to the tyranny Of
George the III; now it must be for the gather
ing of all opposed to the tyranny Of James the
!, and the despotism Of central power under
which the country now groans."
The Revolution brought together those who
had hereditary and traditional antipathies and
cnmities-the Puritans and the Cavaliers, the
Yankees and the Dutch-but all prejudices gave
way to the stronger and nobler feeling of pa
triotism and the love of liberty, and side by side
on the field Of battle, and in the councils Of the
nation stood, sat, fought, and acted the Puritan
and the Cavalier, the Dutchman and the Yam

what it was year or two ago, our loaves
neither increase in size, nor lessen in pricep ?
Do the bakers suppose that their customers

by experience that the people of Washington,
accustomed as they are to paying enormous

PROSPECTUS OF THE WASHINGTON
AMERICAN.

We can hardly think it necessary to urge
upon those who hold that Americans ought to
rule America the importance of having 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 through which those hold
ing similar sentiments in regard to public af-
fairs and public policy, may make known, dis
cuss and defend their views, and expose the
improperly of the principles, and the impolicy
of the measures of their antagonists. 1t should
earnestly labor to give 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
tinel of the party stationed where near and
clear view can be had of the movements and
doings 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,
and here at certain seasons of the year politi-
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.
If the 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 shall 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 natiye-born citi-
zens, eschewing as it will eschew, all interfer-
ence with slavery as a 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 ad-
ministration, is our political textbook and Uade
rnecurn and shall be our compass and chart

GENERAL JACKSON ON EXECUTIVE ABUSES
The following extract from the first inaugural
address Of General jackson, of March 4, 1929,
is quite as pertinent to the present time as to
the time of its utterance:
"The recent demonstration of public senti-
ment inscribes on the list of executive duties,
in characters too legible to be overlooked, the
task Of reform, which will require particularly
the correction of those abuses that have brought
the patronage Of the Federal Government into
conflict with the freedom of elections, and the
counteraction of those causes which have dis
turbed the rightful course of appointment and
have placed or continued power in unfaithful
or incompetent hands"

A SHORT SPEECH.

FELLOW CITIZENS: Gentlemen Democrats,
Anti-Know. Nothings, and all who want little
places under the Mayor: Andrew Jackson said
once that the Federal Union shall bepreserced;

you will only elect me Mayor of Washington,
law and order shall prevail in Washington city.

All the rowdies that have been harbored here
under the present Democratic Anti-Know-
nothing Mayor, shall be kicked to Joppa All
the murderers and assassins, burglars and
thieves that have infested our city and been
pttted and protected under this same Demo
cratic Know Nothing dynasty which we
have found to be such blessing that hope
you will elect me to operpetuate it, shall be forth
with-that is, as soon as they have voted for
me--sent to some other city where their votes
may be needed for a ike purpose.
And now, gentlemen Democrats, Anti.Know-
Nothings, Old Wings, and all who are assem-
bled here to might, having told you what An

what will do, now take my leave.

The material here is good enough, but there is
total disregard of everything like order and re-

dressing the body. It is not alone that disor-
der exists in the galleries, but it exists on the

such as to enable the officers Of it to enforce
authority, and to maintain order and profound
silence"

who once filed the important posts of honor

gone "to that far distant country from whose
