We believe that the party is this day stronger
than ever before, and is bound to win in 1860,

the people that if elected, they will throw the
whole weight of their administration against

The strength of the "American" party we
believe to be broken, its prestige destroyed.
The acknowledging" feeling and organization
is no longer power on the earth. The great
question which now eXcites the interest of the
Ipeople OF the whole country is no longer one
between native and foreign, between Catholic

dom shall control our national policy; whether

ment shall be welded for the benefit of the
whole country, or for the emolument of three

this question parties are to divide in 1860. But
Whatever the result then, tits only the beginning
of the end. The slave-power, grown so gigantic
land insolently defiant, is not to be brought low

The Fillmore voters of 1856 having found
themselves powerless as separate party, will
divide in 1860 on this question, and vote with

In 1860, ofthe policy suggested by the Tribune,
Will IN its result be pretty likely to be 'eye-

If straight-out Republican platform is
adopted, and Jealous, reliable, thorough Repub-

see not how the party can fail to sweep every
northern state. The administration of James
Buchanan has done everything possible to
strengthen us, and never was the anti.slavery
feelingso strong
If however, we shall be defeated $50 we lose
not our honor) the outrages Of another demo
cratic administration will only strengthen us the
more. The Kansas-Nebraska bill, the bred
Scott decision, the Lecompton fraud, the Fugi-
tive Slave bill-all make Republicans faster than
conventions or nominations candoit.
