The American Party stands forth in the full pro E portion of complete efficiency?breathing the spirit and genius of a free and liberal \ patriotism, that knows 110 sectional prefer- / ences, or factious feelings. The crisis was a \ trying one?but the men were in council? j true and trie 1 American citizens, who were , fully com pet 3111 to the emergency. They understood their duty?they know the purpose for which they had assembled thus do- j liberately in solemn council?whero they 1 i.? ...!.?.? .1 '....A 1 - - jiiiot num me country, wnosu eyes wore j Anxiously turned upon them, demanded.? The dominineering spirit of n Helen tious and demoralizing party long swayed the destinies of the nation, corrupting and poluting the fountains of its life, and destroying every vestige of its orignitial purity. Our nationality had nearly disappeared under its unjust and anti-American poftcy?of employing the irresponsible sul- t jects of foreign potentates to rule over, and ,, administer the laws of freo citizens of this j Republic This wicked and unprincipled yarty had, for the unholy purpose of sustain- v iug itself in power, bribed the iutluenco of foreigners?prostituted the pcrogativo of official appointment to the sectarian will of an ambitious and dangerous hierachv?whose known history is deadly hostility to the free- 0 dom of speech, conscience and religious lib- ^ ty. Under the name of Democracy, and j through the nhnory of eighty millions of ( public revenue, it united tho frccsoiler and . German infidel of the West?the Abolitionist and Atheist of the East?tho Agrarian 1 Socialist of the Iiish Catholic of the North, . and tho freetrader, fillibusler, and disunijuists of tho South? nil combining, not for any great public good, for that was morally impossible?but to riot in the epoils of the government, and indulge in the beastly ten- t dencies of their unhallowed orgies. To cor- f rect these abuses, to restore the government ^ to its former purity, and establish a princi pie of just and true nationality, and to main- v tain the supremaoy of the Constitution and i the laws of tho land?the delegates of the t Aineican party met in Grand Council at c Philadelphia. They have laid the foundation for tho aacomplishment of their groat 1 work?and it now remains for the American people to carry it on. But it was not without a constest, long and arduous, that the friends of religious liberaty, und the nationality of the United : States, succeeded in their uoble designs, Ah- i olitiouism, tierco and insolent, reared its | bold and arrogant front in their midst?and 1 t demanded the acknowledgement of their . fanatical doctrine. They attacked directly the national integrity of the American Or- N der?and by every unhallowed means en- J doavorcd to fasten the selfishness of their , one idea sectionalism upon it. I>ut they t were firmly met by the true men of the country,armed with piunciplks as as old as 1 the Constitution, and laws as just as their! grerrt aims. The battle was fierce?but the j t victor)* was complete. Abolitionism was j j, overthrown upon its own soil?and defeated j ^ though not humbled, em>hcd, but not des-1 tfoyod, it has withdrawn from among the j1 gallant men of the North, who stood by the 11 South in the conflict, to rally its powers for a further designs upon tlio Constitution and r the rights of tho States. ]>ut, soperuled as they now are, and dependent tipou them: selves alone, the wickditess of their conduct * will soon destroy their influence for evil.? f Let the true national men of the North and v South, thus, united by the American par- 0 ty, be sustained, and tlio Constitution, the Union, and the laws will be triumphantly 8 safe. * ? Tits American Party, therefore, is <| FRER FROM AllOLII IONISM ! It is the Ollhf National jxtrti/ that has ever bncn so. It stands a monument of the integrity of the j 11 men who compose it. A spectacle of moral p grandeur, unparalleled in modern political ft action.

Tub Ml urn-:u of 1'uof.-Clark &.J3howj?. at Pontotoc, Miss., of which we lately made mention, bears a remarkable likeness to the case of Matt Ward and l'rpf. 11 utier. As the circumstances aro narrated a littlo from the place, it appears that Drown was a nativo of New Hampdiire^a graduateof Dartmouth College, and Principal of the Pontotoc Male Academy. A few days previous to tho murder lie punishedy for sohie misdemeanor, a lud, named Carey Wray, about twelve years of age. John, an cider brother of the lad, who attended the same school, was subsequently expelled for having at the time twice threatened Prof. Jlrown if he whipped his brother again. Three days after the occurrence, another 'brother named Keith Wray, eighteen years of age, who was studying medicine in an office in the city, armed himself with a revolver and bowie knife, went to tho Academy, and wanted Drown called out, but as lie was too much excited at the lime, the assistant refused tho request Wrav left saying that he would see him otitis way home?and at the close of the Session, he met his victim In the pub park, llo accosted him rudely, told hiiri* ho nad imposed upon his brother, and, when Drown undertook to reason the matter, Wray called him by an insulting epithet, and aimed a blow with his fist at Brown's face. The latter, seeing Wray'a weapons as Al . LI 9 r ? ' % ? ? me uiuw wan anuoa, raisea a little riding whip, ana prepared to defend himself. Immediately thereupon Wray drew his knife and inflicted seven fatal wound's which caused Brown's instant, death. The murderer < was arrested and taken jto prison, but his ] friends made yigqpous efforts to forestall jus- , tice, by their promptly securing all the legal counsel the place affords. Prof. Brown ' leaves a young wife, to whom ho had only ' been married a few months.

Patriotism. 8 "What is Patriotism ?n A school-boy r will promptly fnuwer "Love of Country!"? 3o th8 dictionanfes vaguely define it. But s to the American citizen patriotism implies ^ jr inclndes more than "love of country," as that phrase has been used and understood in other epuntrves. The American patriot * not only loves his eflmtry, but loves his c people nnd its free institutions. He desires with all his-heart the welfare and happiness of the former and the permanency of the latter. , lie is a large-minded, liberftl hearted inan, who has charity for his fellows and an en- j daring faith in the capacity of the race for higher attainments in civilization and 6ci cnce, and for the maintainance and enjoyment of freedom. Patriotism is one of the highest social virtues, or rather it is a combination of many social virtus?. It regards the moral as well as the material interest of the people. It is jealous of the honor and good name of the Republic. It is faithful to the laws enacted fortho general good,but careful of the rights and just to the interests of the humblest. It violates no pledges, and sacrifices personal ambition to public duty. This is patriotism, aud those who wish to know the measuro of their patriotism can judge themselves by this standard. New Claimants to tiie McDokougii Estate.?Sarah Greenwood, of Virginia, and others, have instituted suit in the Second District Court, against the cities of New Orleans and Baltimore and others, as universal legatees of the MeDonough bequest, in which thov aver that, as heirs of Shepherd Brown, who was McDonough's partnefm business from 1802 to 1818, when he died, | they are entitled to a large share of the pro- , perty.

Beauty of the BibleThe Bible is a mass of beautiful figuers ; ts words and its thoughts are alike poetical, ' it has gathered around its central truths all natural beauty and interests; it is a temple with one altar and one God, but illuminated with a thousand different lights, and studded with a thousand ornaments. It has substantially but nnr? <lt?i'l?r?tir?r? (a mol-a it utters it in t!ie voices of the creation.

It has gathered new . beauties from the work of creation and new warmth and power from tho very passions of clay. It has pressed into its service the ve- i ry animals of the forest, the flowers of the 1 fields, the stars of heaven?oil the elements * of nature.
