1t was because am knorn to beoppose 70 .ns paese
policy which last year demoralzed the An erca 10y
and cow debases the Orion sentiment, that %nee

that onion movement in New-York should be b'ov

find my self in antayonsm with Mr.. K. Brooks aud hs
elf-deluded followers
In nv capacity as a member of the Hou1on Execu-
tive Committee and also az delegate fron the I" San
Jacinto Club" of New-Yorf, / was present at the
Houston Convention, in ScheI ectady The-el again
encountered the Influence Of Mr Z. Brooks who at
tended in his character Of lobbyist. AS usual that
ibfiuerce was quite harmless Az IN American took
Part in the Peoples nomination of Houston and stock
ton. / am not ashamed OF my associates Ia tnn
Peoples movement for know their aims TO be Lynest
and their efforts earnest They do not play fast and
loose with the candidates whom they profess to sup-
port.
shall not reply to the Bilngsgats Of Mr.. Brook1s
weak comment my success heretofore in thwartipg
bis shallow schemes. have need 10 defend my
course, for my record is with the American Organza
ton from it's beginning may yet teke the trouble to'
Of I'd with
history of Mr. +. Brooks aud some Of hs Utica collea-
CUES since the Winter of 1856 when first encounter
ed them in Legislative caucus, and when their broker
age of American principles first took definite quotations
at the political sock-board. For the present, am con-
tent 10 leave these Utica gentlemen in the enjoyment
of all the public respect and political credit TO which
place fl ger upon any act of which q not strictly
and consistently american Let one Of them prore
that have sought official appointment orplace
Of tmOlument from any political party! Let one Of
them maintain that have ever bargained, traded or
even unanswered, for political preferment or profit
Let one of them substGntiate the charge that was
publicly privately in fellowship understand
ing with any political Party mhateser save the Amer
that ever cast vote for any ether than original
American candidate; save only when l supported
to the same unholy alliance" that is suctioneer-
ing Union Electoral ticket.
am aware that, in preserving my political and per-
sonal inegr v am strangely out of the Utica fashion
appreneDu tDal, uecllDlDg 10 accept
my political father-confessor lie open to the mpu
tstion Of being proud, impudent, and singular but
must reply, with Pope, that
az am proud so proud. adrs!
SO impudent / own myself no knavei
So odd my countrys ruin makes me grave!
Yes am proud IL musf be proud-to see

In conclusion, allow me to remind Mr.. E. Brooks
that vituperation not force fppancy is not wit and
ribaldry is no argument. 1t easier to play the role
of Tkersies in the columns of The Express than to
enact Warrick in New-York politics. l. is not al-
ways safe to apply the Walpoisn maxim that "every
cal parties When man sets himself up for popular
guide, he should remember that example is better
than pecept." We are told by Esop that an old crab
said 70 young one: why do you walk 50 crooked,
crab, show me the way, will you 2 and whom sec
you taking straight course, will try and follow
