?he American Party ?tod Us Principles
^ The crises of this great experiment of organizing
a party upon a purely National baus?upon
principles that belong t> the order
of government of which the Union of
Ihoso Slates constitutes the most remarkable
and which whilo it sustains tho Constitution
and tho laws of the whole Union?equally
protects tho weakest member of tho confederacy
and tho safety of this system of Constitutions
:?The crises of this great experi- ,
incnt, we rejoice to say, is i'ast ! 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. All honor to the gallant and just 1 0
men of tho North?the National men of the j j

Wk wero shown a prayer yesterday, carried
by a Catholic lad, which shows to what

A GUEST.,
Horrible Murder.
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. ' i

? . 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

Brown, who was McDonough's partnefm

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. Shin- I
ing forth from the excellent glory, its light *
hns been reflectod on a myriad of intervening .
objects, till it has become attempered for our j
earthly vissions. It now beams upon us at once )
from the heart of man, and from the coun- i
tenance of nature. It has arrayed itself iu 1
tho charms of fiction. 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. The lion spurning the sands of
the desert, tho wild roe leaping over the |
mountains, the lamb led in silence to the t
dughtcr, the goat speeding to the wildernes^
the rose blossoming in Sharon, tho lilly
drooping in the valley, the apple tree bowir.g
under its fruit, the rock shadow- :
ing a weary land, tho river gladening a dry |
pluco, the moon an! tho morning star, Car- *
mcl by the sen, and Tabor in tho mountains, 1
tho dew from the woinb from the morning, j
the rain upon the mown gnus, the rainbow i
an com passing a dark place, the lightof God's
shadow, the thunder of Hi* voice, the wind
and the eath quake Ilia footsteps?All anch, j
varied object* are made as if naturally design- >
wl from their creation to represent Him to f
whom tho Book and all its emblems point. ,
Thus the spirit the book hi* ransacked cro- |
