ltlt Fear, tba K IN mnnd Viii a Tan t2g0
WeIepeat thai the 18th section or the Phil
adelphia platform has been endorsed, SO far as
\ our observation has extended, by every w his
aud Ameriean newspaper in the State, with
\ the single exception Of the NATIONAL AMERl-
icAE, under is new1edltors--that it was EN-
Hdorsed, in distinct and emphatic terms, by the
1 American State Convention held at lynch
burg, and that it has also been most cordially
endorsed by the Ameriean members Of the
tLegisfatuIe. And What We NEATLY its=being
I thus endorseds is, that it has been approved as
\ iast and right in itself, backed by apledge on
\ the part Of The Americans of Virginia to adj
here tp and stand by it themselves aud insist
upon It's faithful observance by the NoFthern
Americans, as an indispensable prerequisite
to our corporations with them. And yet IN
1.-The face of all this, MIR. Bolts aud his friends
seek to produce the impression abroad that ne
and shas views are approved, endorsed anu
sustained, by the American party Of Rich
mond and the State at large. Nothing could
4 be more grossly absurd nothing SO entirely
/ foreign TO the real facts of the case. And
nobody knows This betterthan Bolts himself,
and the small squad Of sficious, noisy, per-
seyering individuals that hang about bis skirts
and minister to his vanity.
H The American. in the course Of its article,
| is pleased to say g We have veto learn
that the political principles of MIR. Bolts rmaI
/ terialiy differ from those of the Whig.i1 Our
reply is, that If Mr.. Bolts political princi-
4 ples,, is meant his views on slayerf, and bis
Willingness to put the Southin the keeping
and mefcypf the North for the purpose Of ma
\ king himself OF any other man President. then
\ we protest most solemnly that his principles
are not our principles, and that he q nd we,
lnow ", heucef6rth and forever, travel a differ
lent road altogether. His idea, like the NASH
ington Organ's, is to reject and repudlate the
18th section of the Philadelphia plat form, and
Ito "ignofe'' the question of slavery out and
Eout.s And foT what q Why, in order simply
\ TO carry the next Presidential cleo lion =
4 That is, to get possession of the spots with
i out reference to anything but the spoils In
H short, to- cauy that election in defiance and
Heontempt o. principles and without the slight
Il est regard to the honor and vital interests oI
1.-THE South As for ourselves, we say in all
Il delibefation and candor, that we hold The
rights of The South paramount to every con-
slderation Of our PARTY, and that before we
II would yield one jot or little Of them to the
unjust demands of The North, even for The
\ sake of the Presidency, with all us honors

Bolts, his tails, and every party onthe face
EEof the earth, sunk SO deep that the hand OF
resurrection could Eeyer reach. them. the
Il American viii perhaps perceive by this time,
THAT Mr.. Bolts and ourselves do 'fdifTer mate
