It is a text, from which we could dis- course from morn till dewey eve,' and still the subject would be unexhausted. We do not propose however, on the present occasion, to discuss the ubjcct in all of its luauy phases, but merely to 1 . A fading the lcoloco prints in the btate, would nurally suppose, irom tne strains m wincn they , 1 vuv ."luo"u" -u VUic vy xwv iuiiuS m u uc farious surrender of the rights of the South, and claiming that the principles of the last were mere ly carried out by tho ! much vaunted Nebraska Bill, any person, we mv, so reading, would .natur ally suppose, that the Locofoco party had always repudiated the first, and had originated, ' or at least cordially embraced, the last. What are the facts? Ve hive before us tie Resolutions adopted by tho Locofoco Convention of North Carolina, as sembled at Raleigh in 1850. The fourth of tho scries read in this wise; : " Resolved, That the Compromise, known as the, Missouri Compromise, was adopted in a spirit of mutual concession and conciliation j and though the South feels that it detracts from her consti tutional rights, yet for their love of the Union, this convention is willing to abide by it, and would chcerlully sec all the distracting questions settled on this basis." This Resolution, be it remembered, was adopt ed in 1850, at the very time when the celebrated Compromise of that year was under consideration in the Senate. Here, then, is a clear indorse ment of the Missouri Compromise. Is there any thing in the Resolutions approbatory of the Com promise of 1850 ? On the contrary, just the re verse !. The second of! the series reads in this wise : ' j ? Resolved, rThat the "peculiar plan," origi nated and persisted in by the President and has Cabinetj will not bave the effect of promoting har mony andconcord, but leaves the Territorial ques tion unsettled, the door of agitation wide open, and the Union still in vol red in excitement and peril'" ; ; " j!

EPHRAIM MARSH, of New Jersey, TCLlP GROVB, near Nashville, ) March 30th, 185G. j OeKtLEMEN .: I did not receive until yester day your official note of the 2(5th of February last, iBiorming me oi my oouuuaiiuii iu me umcu of Vice President by the American party, and asking my acceptance of the same. For the flattering terms in which you have com municated this proceedinsr, I bes leave to offer vou my sincere thanks I accept the position as signed 'nie by the American party, with a just sense, I trust, of the responsibility belonging to it. 1 attended tne uonvention witn no expecta tion that such an honor awaited me, and if my own feelings and wishes could have been consult ed, it would have fallen upon some other mem ber of the American party in whoso ranks are so many distinguished individuals, better known to the country and better prepared by experience tor the high duties of the station, should the voice of the people be in accord with that of which you are the organ on this occasion. But acting upon the maxim left us by the great men of the earlier days of our Republic, that public office should be neither sought nor declined, I yield to the judgment of those who have thought that my name mierht he of Rervine in n1vn!a ;p tant objects which constitute the American par- ty- . i Our leading idea is that the two old parties, Democratic and Whig, have ceased to exert their former heathful influence in the management of the public interest, and that, without the inter vention of reforms which they can never effect, the beloved Uonstitution and Union, bequeathed to us by our Forefathers, will not iong be preserv ed. For the most of the evils with which wd arc threated at the present period, the administration of President Pierce is evidently responsible ;j but instead of hndmg his party engaged in the prose cution of measures to; avert the dangers he has brought upon the land, we see it more active 'than ever in scattering the seeds of sectional strife and social anarchy. W heri Gen. Jackson came into the Presidency. he acknowledged in his inaugural address the ob ligation of the Executive to restrain the patronage of the Federal Government, so that it should not be brought into conflict with the freedom of elections. But modern Democracy stands in di rect antasonism to this obligation. There is scarcely an election precinct in the United States t.:i. u - al. i i t . wmuu iuuj iiui, wuuesacu uie most snametui in terference with elections by the agents of the Federal Government acting in the name of Dem ocracy. ; In former times when parties were created by patriotic and national sentiments, upon measures of general interest to the whole country, we never heard that a measure could be declared Demo cratic in one place, and not Democratic in an other, by leading men professingto belong to this party. Yet we see thb enormity exhibited daily by the party press in the pay of the present Exe cutive. The necessary result of such corruption, if not successfully opposed, must be to destroy all political morality, and to continue power in un faithful and incompetent hands by the mere in fluence of the money derived from the taxes which are paid by the people for far different pur poses. It is undeniable-that the antagonism now prevailing between the North and the South, is mainly attributable to, the political artifice which has enabled men holding directly opposite opinions on the power of Congress over the institution of slavery in the Territories, but yet professing to belong to the same Democratic party. The Nebraska-Kansas act is constantly called by one portion of Democrats, a law which will prevent the extension of slavery to the Territories, and by another portion, a law which will enable the South to carry slavery to the Territories. By the same fallacy, secession, nullification, abolition and all other isTtts have found a shelter under the fla of democracy, explained as it b by modern enter prise. In former times, also, our best patriots, with out distinction of party, spoke of the necessity of guarding the ballot box from the dangers of for eign influence, and of keeping seperate the Church and State ; and of the advantage to be derived from a frequent recurrence to tbe earlier advice of our Pathers, which incalculated a reverence for the compacts of the Constitution, and the ab stinence from whatever tended to form Geograph ical parties or array one section of the Ijnion against another. Now, howeverhe whole power of the Federal Government b brought to bear against any individual who has the independence to declare his attachment to these old fashioned sentiments. Whole classes of men stand pros cribed and ostracbeo for no other offence than that of joining an association which seeks only to C " pariy spirit, ana to restore the Government ta thj; purity it possessed when ty of North Carolina cot founded and rcforuiud i.vu Ui; iiuuus 01 lUOSC ED"' -Xooking gentlemen; npon the Amencan k party -destined to eradicate the evils to wmcn k nave , 1 .
