1V3 disavow any inference, there-
fore, wiiicii may be draivn from the free
expression of our opinion, that the Amer-
ican party is intolerant tovcaids the
Catholic: religion. With the pi'inn.iples
and doctrine of that faith we have no
concern. Vie value too highly the priv-
ilegcs of freerneii to hold any man to ac-
count for his religious belief. The Ro-
man Catholic has our‘ respect in as full
measure as any other estalilislied creed.
In the, legitimate sphere of its influence
we will defend and protect it to the ut-
most of our ability, against all assault.-~
Ae.we cherish the fouiidatioiis of our
political liberty, not less do we cherish
the right of every man to worship God
according to his own convictioiis of du-
ty. Vie assert this nsa peculiarly Amer-
ican principle, and pledge ourselves to
its full and faithful observance, in all ca-
ses whatever. ' '

WW3 have now presented a brief re-
view of the chief questions which have
led to the embodiment of the American
party. They are suggestive of the whole
scope of its aims. VVhilst in the waning
stage of the old political parties the
country has been distracted by the teem-
ing growth of new organizations created
to nurture many startling extravagances
of popular opinion, some of them threa-
tening !ll8 Union, others the peaceful
relations of our government with the
rest of the world, and all of them tend-'
ing to the fomenting of sectional divis-
ions, the iuet.iuciii:e sense of the nation,
brought into active resolve by this emer-
gency, has proclaimed the necessity for
a great. American party. In obedience
to, thatgcall the party has already come
forth, and has entered upon the tlieatre
of its duty. It comes to silence the
clamor of faction, to clieclt the career of
periiicious innovations, to rehulte the
busy intrigiiesof selﬁsh politicians. Its
great purpose is to recall the govern-
ment to its time honored and approved
principles of adniiiiistration, and to ex-
press the authentic voice of the Ameri-
can people in favor of 2:. thorough Amer-
ican policy. We mean that henceforth,
in the face of all opposition, and all
combinations, Americans shall govern
their own country, and that every genu-
ine _American interest shall take its par-
amount place in the couns.elsaiid tho‘is
of those to whom the niauagemeiit of
the public affairs shall be iniru:-ted.-w
‘We desire to see our internal resoiirces,
improved,.~our labor rewarded, our geni-
us fostered, our agriculture, maiiufac-
lures, and commerce, guarded and sus-
tained by an intelligent American states-
manship. '

VVe desire to see the cliildren of our
republic edu'cs2ed in American senti-
ment and princip‘ie, and fortified by the
wisdom of that szicrep book from which
our ancestors drew the inspiration of
the moral and religious freedoin which
they infused into our civiliinstitntions.

We desire to see the right of suffrage
consecrated in the veneraticri ‘lei’ the
people as the bulwark of liberty, and
protected by laws which shall forever
preserve it as the peculiar‘ medium
throiigl'i_whicli none but genuine Ameri-
can opinions and sympathies shall find
expression in the functions of govern-
ment. ’

VVc desire to see the federal coustiui ,
,tion faithfully administered in strict ac-
:cordance with the views ofits founders,
all usurpations of power clieclted, all on-
croaclimeiits upon the rights of the
-States rebuked, all forced‘ coiistruction
disavowed. ‘ \ .\

The American party feels the respon.
sibility of the position it has assumed.——.—
It knows full well the keen opposition
it has to encounter from the conglomer-
ate of all fragments and factions, of the
old efi'etc_democratic and whig parties,
with their alien allies, names that were
once hallowed and had a l‘l]Eallll)0'. Er-
rors it may commit—inferior men may
attain elevation from its swelling ranks,
such matters are unavoidable in,all great
popular movements and l'8V0ll{l.lOl.lS, but
they are not its principles min its high
aims, and will be corrected. National
in feeling, r.-aiioiial in name, American
in all things, it claims as belonging to its
brotherhood and entitled to all its rights’
and privileges, anyand every true heart-
ed citizen, no matter to What party he
may have belonged, no matter in what
pursuit he may he engaged, whether in
subduing the forest, tilling the earth,
levelling the inountains, filling up val-
leys, wielding our commerce, toiling
amid the din the bustle of crowded cit-
ies, sailing on the ocean, digging in the
mines, seizing on the idle streams that
flow from our mountain sides, and can-
sing them upon the water wheels and
labor millions of spindlesinto motion, or
amidst the dust and whirl of bright ma-
cliinery,heis in God’s appointed voca-
tion, moulding and fashioning the rude
tnatcrials of nature into forms of strength
iisefulncss and beauty. He has only to
feel in his‘ own: heart that lie approves
and adopts our principles, and that he is
ready, when the star spangled banner is
unfurled, to stauduntlor it and by it ~-
Truc, it is but a piece of hunting, a pain-
ted rag——yet what hallowed associations
cluster round it! It waved in glorious
triumph when Baiziblklge, Decatur, Per-
ry, Hull, broke the charm of British in-
viiicibility on the ocean, Stark had it at

folds when he sealed our nation's inde-
Peildence on the plains of Yorktown.-
It is now, as it was then, the emblem of
our riationality and power. V

see our Union preserved, sireiigtliened

2. Regolved, That Whilst we have

tionality, as it is cherished and defended

by Oil! native -ziiizens, r-22:3, with scarce-
ly less attaclimem, r'll5iilEZllfi-"ll by’ Wim-
bcrs of citizens of foreign birth, who by

with our people, we are yet deeply ‘im-
pressed witli a conviction lllalu ill ll"?
extraordiiiary concourse of aliens which
recent imlucenienie have brought to our,’
land, in the peculiar incompetency or
many of them from education and hub-
its of life, to become thorough American
citizens; in the attraction which, both
from their numbers and their facility to

demagoguea, who have not scriipled to
make use of ‘them as allies to secure sel-
fish ends; in the frequent evidence ‘they
afford of their incapacity to appreciate
the right of siiffrage, when they have
obtained it by the operation of our pres-
ent system ofiiattirslizatioii, and to the
manifold abiiscs to which this right is
subject in their hands; that the time is
come when it is essential to the purity
of our gnveruinent and its vsliolesome
administration, that the laws regiilating
the admission of foreigners to citizen-
ship should be revised, and that either a
longer term for probation for citizenship
and more rigid provisions for conferring
‘ii, should be established, or that the hat-
uralization laws should be wholly re-
pesiledf . ~-
3. Resolved. That we re:-gait! to be the
interest and duty of our government and
peopﬁ to give to the honest and merito-
rious portion of the emigrants from for-
eign ianda, who seek an asylum in the
United States, 8. friendly reception; to
extend to theinprotection and encourage-
ment; to confer upon them every right
necessary, to the security of their welfare
in whatever lawful pursuit they may em-
ploy themselves ; and to demonstrate to
them, by a liberal and considerate hospi-
talily, that it is both the pollcyaud pride,
of our country to share the belleﬁts of
our free government with all mankind
who may prove themselves worthy of
such participation. ‘
-1. Resolved, That we acknowledge
religious toleration to be an essential and
fundamciital principle of free govcriiment;
and we declare that we hold the right of
coiiscience—-by ivliicli we menu especi-
ally the freedom of opinion and the priv-
ilege of every man to worghip God in
such manner and according to sucli ba-
lief as his own convictions dictate--to
be amongst the dearest and most sacred
rights of freeuien; that we will defend
-these rights against all assault, from
whatever quarter; and that in this de-
termination we know no distinction of
creed,i_ior sect, nor person, holding that
the State should exercise no other con-
trol over til-3:80 rights than that which
may be necessary to guard the public
mornlsjagainst licentious abuse, and to
secure to every one the full and peaceful
enjoyment of his reliqious opinions and
worship.

5.*Resol'v€_d, That, as necessary to re-
ligious icleration,and as indispensable
to its healthful support, we regard ever .
attempt of any one sect, or denomlnszticn
or cliurcli, to obtain an ascendancy over
other in iiic State, by the demand of es-
pecial privilege or exemption of any kind
within_.t_lie sphere of political rights and
duties, and still more, any combination
of lll_e-fTlCl1'll)8l‘S of any dciiomiiiation io
obtaiii political power by concert of ac-
tion,‘ in the performance of civic govern-
_1)@,:l, to be dangerous to that equali-

ty 0 right which should belong to all
citizens, hostile to the order of society
and conspicuously objectionable as a step
towards the subjection of civil power to
ecclesiastical-influence; that we there-
fore ialte our stand against all such at-
fé'mp_i§,_yclierever we mav ﬁnd adisposi-
tion to malt-2 them.

6. Resolved, That we clierish, with
the highest appreciation, the education
of the youth of our country in schools
provided by the State, believing such in-
stitutions to be tlic.most valuable auxil-
ieries to enlightened and free government
We look to these as the truestand best
nurseries of republican sentiment and
brotlierhood ; and regarding them as
particularly adapted to the formation of
a vigorous national character, we hold
that they should be common to all citi-
zens, without distinction of creed; and
to tliatbud should be free from all influ-
ence or direction of religious zeal. And
as we believe the Holy Bible to be the
fetintain and depository of the uuiver.
sal religious doctrine of our country, and
tlieteaclier of the pi'ol'oundest wisdom
to all men, we express our firm dissent
and reproof against any and every at-
tempt. to exclude it from the course of
scliool',ii2s;riiction! jg ._ _ _ ,

-“And,-'now, having announced -the prin-
ciples of the party upon which have cre-
ated the..necessi'.y' for its organization,
we deem it proper at the same time, to
declare the views by which it is gover-
ned, in reference to other important
qiiestioiis touching the administration of
public affairs. It is therefore further

7. Resolved, That the American par-
ty, holding the Union of the States to
be the great distinctive and vital idea of
»pci-man-:rit and comprelicnslve Arnericzin
republicanism, will devote its united
power to the duty of sustaining and
strengtlieiiing that Union against the at-
tacks, either open or secret, of whatever
enemy may assail it. To that end, it wil
insist upon a secret construction of the
constitution of the United States, in ac‘.
cordaiice with the true intent and mean-
ing of that inslriiincnt, as expounded by
the most approved opinion of the country.

Upon the. full acknowledgement and
due preservation of the rights of the
States, as expressed and reserved in the
constitution ; and the careful avoidance,
by the general government and by each
of the States respectively, of interference
with 1hc'rl,gL-is of either by legislative
or executive action.

Upon the faithful performance by the
general government. by every public
functionary of each, of all duties enjoin-
ed upon either by the constitution of the
United States. To the same extent the
American party also plcdgesitself to sup-

Let Llqtiorllone.

A few weeks since, at Buffalo, :4 prea-
«cher, with a halter around his neclr,_rob-
ed for a murdererls grave, and standing
in a gallows. pulpit, preached a sermon
tupon temperance. His. text, “It was
rum that did it." The occasion of that
sermon was the murder of a wife, than
whom, according to the testimony of
the dying man, no woman was more kind
none more dutiful.

A repetition of this scene now comes
from Galena, where the crime of wife
murder was explated by the hanging of
John I. Taylor. The preacher in this
instance is thus described by the .ArZt'er-
tzlrer : .

"He was dressed in a white shroud,
with a white cap uponlhis head. His
countenance was vacant and ghostly ;—-
his eyes were set and staring, and adark
ring seemed to encircle them.” '
Ten thousand people gathered to see
how a man in full life would meet emig-
nominlour death, and after the vast and
curious assemblage were hushed into
breathless silence, the preacher tool; his
text, "Let liquor alone," and delivered a
sermon of-tweri_ty.6ve minutes in lengtli.
He said : -5- - - . - -
"What hail happened and what was
about to happen, all came through the
use of intoxicating liquor. He had heard
of men who had lost their lives or frozen
their limbs through the inﬂuence of this
demon. For forty years he had drank,
Shellie was-forty-six years'nld now )....

e had drank from childhood. He had

but afew moments to live, and wished
them all to remember his advice, which
was to let liquor alone It was the
means of-his wife’s' dcaih, and if he had
let it alone and minded his own business
at first, (and it is hard -to suffer for it.) he
would have been living with his wife
now. Let liquor - alone; let liquor
alone. - -
He saw many

‘ladies present--‘a rid

'- :2‘ had ever seen, but ‘ one--he warned
hem, if they did not ivisli to get ltilled,
o persuatlr.-,t..‘iéeir husbands, brothers and
lends ftom_.§;l:i"c_ i_3se.of-, liquor in any
iape. I-le-"t,'_, o=l5'»"'inuch of an o,ra'tor,- '

must pay in handsome dividends, to the pro-

doubt. This building will not prove merely a

capable of making rapid passages, csn’t help

One of the greatest triumphs in the art of
Building Moving, ever achieved in this vicini-

present week, by Mr. Chas. Tu}.-bs, in the rsii
siugoi‘ the old, rickety fabric adjoining us,
and next the Bridge. Notwithstanding that
the underpinning was more or less decayed,
and the foundation "r7asn’t there,”lie has suc-
ceeded ln getting a purchase, and safely boos-
ted the ediﬁce some ﬁve feet above its original
altitude, without even disturbing the inmates,
or interrupting their business. It now stands
even with the new Bridge, and altogether-
_inslres a tolerably ﬁne appearance, still we
cannot but regret that the owner had ‘not de-
molished it altogether, and erected. a brick
building instead. ‘ L

I The New Hampshire Election

The New Hampshire papers are full
of comments on the overwhelming defeat
of the administration and the success of
the Know Nothings and Anii-Nebraska
HIGH,

The Statesman says :—-"The Auti-
Nebraslta. forces have secured a very
large majority in the House of Repre-
W sentatives, ii majority in the Senate, and
probably three of the ﬁve Cbuncillors.—
Tlieindicntions are that Messrs. Pike,
Tappan and Cragin are all elected to
Congress: three good and true men-—
who will be found as immovable as the
Granite Hills in their adherence to il.c
views now entertained upon the Slavz-iy
Extension Question by a vast inajori-zy
of the people of New Hampshire. The
result. of the Election is more than a vic-
tory—-it is a perfect route of the Demo-
crats, and has placed the State in the
complete control of the Anti-Nebraska
party. May they use the victory wise-
ly and well.

D ‘.‘lever was a more energetic political
conﬁict waged in New Hampshire, and

achieved.
broken away from all party bonds, to e:-;-

pleasure-—no less with the National than
the State was ransacked from the Sea to
the Canada line, by men sent forth in the
pay of the Nebraska Democracy to re-
cover us from our political apostacy in
1854, and to secure the election of three
Administration Members of Congress,
and two Senators,“ to be chosen’ in J mic.
Money was expended by the leaders of
democracy as it never was before. The

Every alien for whom it was possible
to procure - naturalization papers_.w=.i:-
brought into service. Indeed, the cam-
paign was conducted with a degree of
desperation so obvious as to make cer-
tain the intense interest with which the
result was looked for by President Pierce
and his Cabinet.”
