Our Candidal.
; Mr: flic; Sr J, Candidal or UK American"
forty in this District; has, in tlx lung, arduous
nd titter campaign, now nearly closed, proved
liim If aa able en efliiaent advocate of American '
doctrine. Wherever ha ba gone he ha made
host of friends for himself and tb Americu
eauw-, despite tliethousaiidar.d one falxaod mali
cious report! that have bees raised against him,
not to his face where ha could mat then, bat
behind his back, secret! and stealthily. II baa)
not keai taled to expose in- proper terms th device
of Uie enemy to prevent th people from seeing,
understanding and appreciating our principle.
The minion of party have abused and lied about
about bin to their hearts' content, but their vary
eagerness to propagate falsehoods will overreach
itself and be turned to the advantage of tbt Amor-
ean cause. :
' The people ess sea the desperation of these
men, who art not eon ton ted to conduct a campaign
in dignified, honorable, maul manner, but ro
resort to all kinds of misrepresentation and un
worthy means to call off the mind of the people
&cjm the true issues, with the hope of gaining
thereby a few votes to their candidate. The game
will not do it has been too oftfB tried by these
eame men for the same purpose, but it will vet
reach itself now, and show to all candid, thinking
mea that it is only a game played by political
tricksters, Americans, be on your guard against
these men. Keep your ere open upon their
r movements, give t strong and united support to
your candidate, and if you stand np to him aa he
deserves, lie will certainly be elected.
George Law, -
Tli Standard copies with Infinite gusto a ear'
tificate of naturalization of a certain George Law
of Baltimore, jumps at the conclusion that it is
the same George Law spoken of as the Amer
ican candidate for the l'reaideney, and proceed
forthwith to convict the American party of very
great inconsistency in speaking of a foreigner nod
an Irishman for that high office. Now, all the
Standard's rhodomontade will dissolve into thin
air, whet it is known that the George Law spoken
of in the certificate, is not th George Law that
has been mentioned in connection with the Frov
, idency, and and the eery pajer$ published by the
Maitdurd prott it. It appear from that eerti li
en te that the George Law there spoken of resid
ed la this country between the year 1798 and
1802, and that on the 8th day of June, 1803,
certificate of naturalisation was granted him.
II must have been at least twenty-on y ears of
age when this was granted, and were be now liv
ing he would be at least 71 year old an age no
one can dura say Govrge Law, of Acts York, has
arrived at.
But further, we have before aa the Baltimore
American, which contain communication re
ferring to this trumped op charge against the
American party, which states that the George
Law referred te in that eertifluate iiedumt years
oio U VaUimorc,ui& was buried in Greentoouot
Cemetery.
Wt refer to this, not because we are an advo
cate for George Law's claim for the Presidency,
but to show to what the press of the Anti-Amor
lean party will resort to throw odium upon the
Amorioan cause. This U a good specimen
their warfare. But it cannot succeed. " Drown-
Ing men catch at straws." . ....
Withdrawn.
To read tbe sclf-rigtAeou article of the for
eign press in this State, on would think that the
whole Americanorgantsatioowas going to pieeee,
that every body was leaving it. This is the same
trick that was tried hi Virginia to influence those
outsiders who always like to go with the stronger
party. Bat it availed nothing la Virginia, ainee
the American party gave as many votes to its
candidate as it rrotnlsed to do, and It will avail
Bo tiling her. There are thousands and ten of
' thousands of good and tm men, both inside and
out of the American organisation, who cannot be
caught by any such stuff as this.
There is really another noticeable fact In con
nection with the few withdrawals that bate been
published. Thcv all seem to be written after
tl sain model, only some are draw sal a little
more than others. Would it but be well lobar
blank one printed and oiroulated with the Whig
documents the vigilance committee are ooaltor-
ng over the land. Oh, no, pot at all the de
mand would b so (mail that it would not psy for
the ink with which thej would be printed,. But
perhaps the "Club." oould raise enough to bear
the r twoM. Why have they not token tli
bint from Sir. Clingmaii, who, aeoording to the
Abbeville rpctator, carries about him these par
j trs ready pre pa red and pokes'lhciu Into tbsfaee

Hear It
The Washington Union, the organ of the pres
ent imbecile and rotten administration, uses the
following language in connection with the sub
ject of slavery. Hear It
"No party embracing members at; the North
" and the South, can be national and hamioni
" ous in the organisation, whichdoesaot exclude
the Question of slavery from its creed."
The l aion further says:
" There can he no such things aa Katiooal par
ties eiocpt upon tbe basis of an mlirr rvfuum
of the subject from their political creoU."
This is tli organ of aa administration that has
turned, all the time, the cold shoulder to tbe con
servative portion of the Democrats party at th
Aorth, and ha taken to it loud embrace the
freeeoil wing of that party. It well befits an. ad
ministration which can appoint and keep in office
the freesoil Governor Boeder. This doctrine and
these acts will not and cannot meet with the ap
probation of the Southern people.
Expose th Falsehood,
We learn that on of die many lie now in circu
lation against the American party, ia that it oundi-
didate, in this District, has publicly declared him
self in favor of establishing kingly government in
the United State. By such base falsehoods, the
enemy expect to defeat Mr. Sbepard, We call
pon every member of th) American party to
give fiat and unequivocal denial to all such foul
charges, by working for theiroandidate and cast
ing their vote promptly for him and inducing
other to do tbe name. This lie is the meanest
and basest of all the brood, and was intended to
deceive the Ignorant and unsuspecting. . ltise up
Americans, and put tbe stamp of your disappro
bation upon these propagator of falsehoods by
giving your candidate a rousing majority.
Mr. Clingman.
The last Standard bus an address from this
" distinguished statesman" to the people of the
Eighth seionnl District, which is, in itself
perfectly tviijmtfit. The professed object of
the sddro is, to repel charges which; he says,
have been made against hiin, and nut a single
charge is mentioned or refurred to in the entire
document. It is itself nuthiLg but a set of char
ge without foundation against the American
party. He evidently fuars that he will be beat
en and hence this new mnnilc ito.
Cllngmana'e Diatrlct.
The canvas In this district, has waicd very
warm, it being more violently conducted by the
enemiesoftbe Amorioan party than in any other
The friend of the American came seem to be
quit confident of theeleotion of Mr. Canuichael
The Fayetteville Observer ha a letter from an
Intelligent correspondent in the Went, who " con
fidcutly believe that Clinguian will be beaten
I bar never (b adds) seen so many changes
men too of standing and influence. TheOlingman
men consider that Uarmichael is a good speaker."
W learn also that there I no doubt of Col.
Puryeer's election
fcjr The Standard is again parading thaoard
of Judge Longstreot agoiust the American party
and commenting upon it in quite a loving and
pious (?) manner. But suppose Judge Longatrcet
bad taken ths other tide of the question, suppose
he had advocated Protestantism aud American
Nationality, what sanctimonious appeals would
w not have heard to it readers, against minis
ters having anything to do with politics. Now
be la on of th greatest saints in the Standard's
calendar 1 in th other case, he would bav been
desecrating hi high calling and been unworthy
of tbe eonSdenoe of all christian men. If a uiiu
ister U fur its side, then he is a marvutously
proper fellow, but If apamtt, he is one of the
greatest wretuhe on earth.
JrtfWe again call upon the member off!
American party to b on' their guard against
lying circulars and false reports started on th
ver of the election by th enemy. Prepare
yourselves to meetSl) such attempts to defeat
the will of the people work nswrlf wuaa, ac
tively and constantly from this ths until the
polls arc closed, and if you are true to yourselves
and your country, success will erown your efforts.
Let ne specious charges or false rumor deter
you from doing your duty, but aerve yourselves
manfully for the oootost, gird yourselves for th
dlit, meet th enemy at every point, aad you
ill b able to. Mute him completely, and elect
the champion of your gluriou principle.
W Insert the card ol J. I. Brown, la reply
to th unprovoked aud arurrilon attack of ths
Htondord upon fclu. The rurse of that shoot
only illustrates th bigotry aad intolerance of ths
Foreign and Catholia party. No Intelligenl for
eigner ran dare think fur himself, provided he
approves of th course of the American party,
without meeting with tlie most violent and In
temperate abuse at th bauds of tbe crgou of
th present rotten dynasty.

sViT The Standard ha at buf hit apea a pow
erful argument against the Know Nothings, one
that will surely overwhelm them with defeat and
dismay. Every council in the District will be pa
nic stricken by it imniedistely if not sooner. It ha
actually discovered th awful, tlx astounding,
th tremendous fact that the American papers
here are not filled with ooinmuiiicationa bragging
about the result of tile election, aud that thrrr
fore Mr. Branch will be elected. Jerusalem,
what a master of logic It is.
tjr It is a striking fact that the Foreign and
Catholic organs, in their tirades of abuse and
calumniation against the American partv, have
not had the daring to attack the platform of con-'
servative and national principles, laid down by
the National American Council. They content
themselves' with bold osnertion Mid sweeping
charges, but cannot and dare not repudiate the
principles of our platfurm.
Remember, that O. A. Ilrownvon, the F.ditor.of
the llcview, which is the Organ of ttre lipitsiu
this countryHfluims for the 1'ojie tuuiporsl au
thority in this country in other words, " the
right to decide for Kuuiun Catholics, the meanure
of the alliance due by them to the government
under which they live ! " 1 Ins is setting the t'ope
above the Constitution and the laws ! Are you

Calculation.
Tho Standard and its friends are calculating
largely upou carrying Oniugo and Granville tor
Mr. Branch, and speak of thirty-live hundred
majority in the litrict. Very well, sirs, if cal
culating will do you any good, you are welcome
to iiniko as luanv such n You choose. You are
no doubt "whistling to keep your courage up
The people have a voice in the matter, and will
tell you quite a ditfercut talc upon the day of

Tbe Power of the Pope.
The ItilUhoro liecordcr, in commenting upon
the lotlur of Browiihuu, which Mr. Brunch at
tempted to uu uud then repudiated, refers in
Uie following terms, to well known instances in
w hich tho l'opu has not only claiuied but actu
ally exunwed the power of deposing aud
Bjooniniuuicatlnir uriiices. This is a matter of
history, an every school boy knows w ho has road
tho history of Kngland.
It is claimed fur the l'one, asthe visible head
of th chu-ch, to reUuise the conscience from the
religious obligation ot suhunnsion to the civil
power, and to rivo lit.erty to the suhject to resist
the prince. Aim llie exercise oi mill power oj
the i'oe has lieen more thun once exerted in the

"snirituul uowur" claimed lor the Pop !
"We do. therefore, out of the fullness of our

fellow-citixen of a neighboring county for Air
interference in elections that didn't at all concern
hiin. SupHise he thinks what is sauce for the
y.nc otiirlit to be sauce lor all other birds. Al
though 1 was in full speed, 1 was sevural day in
overhauling him. Ho was one day here, the next
there, and tho day after, somewhere that be
ought not to be, so busy was he in trotting from
tiiaue to place, to abuse, villify and libel the
know Nothings. Came upon him about dusk,
ten miles from honieyriiised my sledge and say
ing, " you know my 'mission, lot lly. But as
true as I am the Fool Smasher, he was so con

he run and bellowed: "Democrats! lleinocrats!!
Mister Kerr, the Know Nothings is ri run for
your lives" 1 have seen several specimens of
running in my time, but for a ehyjticjyjcd man,
lie can beat the Creek Nation.
Arriving at Pittsboro', 1 found a groat llatifi
cati. n Meeting of the American party on band.
On F'riday night, 1 found they were great people
to liet about that little village, aud know ing ll at
was a good sign of a p.osicruus harvest hr my
sledge, I U'gau to rub it up. Karly next morn
ing 1 demolished a hairy tuced young 'un, who
w as offering to bet a thousand dollars (all that
hiiusclt'.his daddy and negro woman were worth)
that John Kerr would feat the Know Nothing
candidate a thousand votes. Several other .email
lietlers met with the sauiu fate. 1 had tine fun
in slaying a knot of llemocrats on Saturdny
morning, who were oflcring to bet Ihuiidrcds,
titties and files, that a ceratin Democratic ex
member of -the-iast hcgislatuic from Chatham,
was not a Know Nothing. I lot them breathe in
peace, till they saw with horror and chagrin their
favorite man unanimously called to the chair as
President of the meeting! Theu 1 let Un in bate
it. ' We are rlmrn ol our locks, end betraved

The article in the Standard says, " this Mr.

oouveyance. About a week after I received a
letter from W. W. 1 1 olden returning the money
and stating that be bad no paper to sell. This
is what 1 presume ho means by " sending me a
statement. " The article then says, " It is bad
nuHh tr ntV (!) to persecute and endeavor
. , , ,'',' ,, , ,, . in
to crush men becuuse they happen to ho born in
a foreign land but a foreigner who deliberately
assists in the woi k is a poor degraded wretch who
deserves to te kicked and spit upon by generous
and hotieit men" (what sage advice to "generous
and honest men!' ) I would only remark that a
native born American, who deliberately assists
in iiersecuting his own countrymen fur "opinion's
sako and turning them outot omce to give place
"n Catholic- slaves to the Pope spiritually
and teuiporallv, and advocates of llibley burning,
is a more jniotic, degraded wretch and unworthy
the name of an American,
Further the urticle says "Benedict Arnold
was despised by 'the very government and people
whose cause be sought to advance by betraying
Washington and bis army and so it is in regard
to foreigners in America who turn against their
own race and blood," Ac.
Now 1 would humbly ask W. W. Hidden, who
is the traitor or Benedict Arnold in this matter,
whether it is the ioi-eortrr who respects the
rights of foreigners and the rights of native born
Americans, or the Editor of the Standard who
would trntnplo upon the rights of his own conn
trvinen to place power in the hands of foreigners?
Surely Americans ought to govern their own
countrv, and watch over and protect their own
liberties. What ! now say are the sentiments of
i luttny ot my own countrymen, now in America:

tunute as to have any. Hundreds ot my country
men never naturalise.
1 would ask W. W. Hidden if it is really for
I lor the foreigner that has made the party
power a prescriptive parly. There is uiere pulit
j leal intrigue than puiejustire any how. It would
s surprise me little, though W. W. Huldeu w ere to
i write an article endorsing niv opinions ere the
j coming Presidential election. Is it a fact that W.
W. llolden was a good isig Cabin Whig in 1X1"?
! Il It a fact that W. W. llolden was aasi-tcd in
j buying tbe Nandanl by some of his Jricwt
i whose polities he now denounces? But these are
' matters I care tittle about. But when W. W.
i llolden says " watch this Scotchman on the

I paid more than live cents for the mir-mlt Scotcb-
i man that they introduced at their Mn-i Mooting
; they got cheated, lie is beneath disgrace but
' the whole Know Nothing party was disgraced in
bringing him forward," Ac., Ac, 1 hate no hes
itation in telling W. W. llolden that be is aitr
personal in his remark, but knowing tbe source
from which Uiey com they are laughably harm
less.

HEAR AN OLD DEMtA KAT.
' Jofaa 11. Records, Esq., of Falmouth, Ky, a
h ading Iiemoemt of Uiat State, in a letter to tbe
Frankfort Commonwealth, give his reasons tor
joiuuig the American party, as follow :
In tbe year IMS 1 wo elected ID represent this
county in the lower branch of the Legislators, f I
was then a staunch aad anwavering Democrat. It
was U is year that the noble Cass, as tbe Standard
bearer ofllie national Democracy .fell in tbestrog
glefbr the Presidency, by the combined efforts of
lie friends of General Xayior aud of Mr. Van
Buren. Dunngtheadininitrstionof Mr. Fillmore,
(which, by Uie by, was a very good one,) I re
mained a tirm adherent to tbe Democratic party,
though causes of difference between tbe two great
parties had, to a considerable extent, ceased to
exist. In th great struggle of 1860, on the Com
promise measures, I perceived that th noblest of
tbe Whigs and Democrat united together on one
common battle-field, and performed valiant ser
vices for tbe I'nion. At the bead and front of
these champions stood t. lav. Webster, Cass, Dick
inson and route. Both Whigs and ltemocrat
cordially united in this great work uf peace, har
mony, and conciliation. But I thought I could
perceive that the Democratic party stood promt
neut. A large number i( the Democratic mem
bers of Congress, north of Mason's and Dixon's
line, voted lor these measures, while but very few
of tbe Whigs in that tpjarter ventured to do so.
For this reason, and other which it is not neces
sary to mention, my attachment to the Democratic
party remained unimpaired. In the great political
contest of 1H52, I stood square up to Uie mark
tor General Pierce.
I hod great faith in his integrity and capacity.
But when he assumed the reins oiioveruinent,
and called around him the motley cabinet which
he did, the strength of my confidence and antic
ipations was considerably impaired. The character
of bis appointments, as one after another they
were developed, tended to lessen my confidence
in his administration. Genuine national Demo
crats, tbe very bone and sinew of the party, were
passed over to give place to Free-Soilers, Aboli
tionists, Secessionists, Filibusters, and even for
eigners by birth, who hod scarcely had time to
form even a sliglitacquaintance with our political
institutions. To crown all this, Judge llruiison
was removed fro in his responsible position because
he desired, in the discharge of his official duties,
to discountenance Free-Soiliein and Van Buren
ism, and to advance the intercut of the National
Democracy. All this, combined with many sub
sequent acts which 1 could nut approve, greatly
weaked my atti.chuic.it to the administration.
nut still my love of Democratic principles remain
ed unimpaired ; that is purely conservative, na
tional and t nidi, fieuiocratic principles.
lYt this juncture, the American parly sprung
into existence. Its infancy and youth were pro
tected by Uie mantle of secrecy. For a long time
my prejudices against it were very strong. Many
iin.igs .ransn.reii which i receive', as develop
ments of its principles, which 1 could by no means
approve; especially ttie action ot tlie .viassachu
setts Legislatuie, mid tlie various indications ot
political and religious proscription. 1 concluded,
uiwever, to wait with patience tlie developments
fume. 1 watched the action ot the National
Convention which assembled at Philadelphia with
deep concern. W he. its declarlion of principles
was puousiieu ana uie vcuui secrecy wiinurawn.
1 could see nothing to which a genuine, eonserv-
tivo American citiscn and Democrat, could object;
but, On the other hand, much that.he was bound,
either to support or oppose theparty.leoncludcd
to pursue the line which duty dictated; aud to
cost my lot with those whom 1 couocivud to be
the true friends of their country.
In doing so, 1 have no doubt there are many
who are ready to charge me with having aHsta
tixed from the true Democratic faith. K opinions
are radically different. They may enj'oy theirs,
and 1 will take the liberty to enjoy mine. II il is
true Deini.ciucv tn-vrtrilv and niisrcrirwenrrtiF
American partv to adhere to foreign rather than !
to American principles to Cathode rather than
Protestant institution! then I wash my bauds I
I it from this time henceforth and forever. Hut i
su. n a course is not true Democnv v. In the aa-1
d name of Dcunsraev Uie nm-i atrocious
crimes hae been coiuunLed. It i- noi the Lame,
but the substance, which constitutes tru.Cjie-
inocracy. Ihe opposers, and the t illiheis of the-
An. u: lean party, may bawl out Democrat' 1 lle-
uioeiaey ! until they hhw away their lungs, and
they will never tie able toconviuce afitirand roa
so.nug blind, that they are its true friends in this
country, ss parties now stand. The Americau
I arty isthe the true Democratic Be publican party;
and the votaries of foreign influeiue, Catholicism,
and the loaves aud hfher, had better rca-c their
villi! ing clamors, and enlist on the side uf their
country, Is fore it is too late.
But it is said, this new party is all a Whig
trit k. If it lie so, all I can say is Uiat it is far the
best vv lug irsrt ever yet plaved npon the country. I
It is a genuine BepuLlican Whig trick. But it is
no Whig trick. 'Uie new parly has arisen wholly
iodcpeiidctiioftheuld party lines anddistinctions.
The best men of both parties, are among it ar
dent supporters. It is true a large fragment of
the Democratic party has, by party trommels
and tactics, attempted to make it a party matter.
This can lie accounted for without the least diffi
culty. This party is iu power. It holds within
its grasp all the' vast patronage of Ihe Federal
fiovernmcnt. This is a tremendous engine of
power and influence. It was natural 6 the party
to regard any Counter movement, in th political
spheie, a being levelled at bis own existence, il
so reg.udcd the American movement, and not
w t unit some sbo of rutin, ft ihnnfo m
dravored to concentrate all its forces, iu urdorto
crush this auivrpris iu it infancy.
Th officeholders and tbsir friends, tb editor
of pajiers, and tb deniae ogical politicians, who
wish to fatten on lb spoils uf omce, in mi con
centrated phalanx, raised the cry of Wbiggery !
W toggery! fnsu one end of the L'nwn to tli. other.
This was, and still is, a Demoeraiic trick, ll I
well understood. It merits bav been thoroughly
ennvossed. It hi treated with scorn and contempt
by every one, who I not disposed to wrap him
self up in hi old Uttered party cloak, and to
draw over hi eye tbe scurvy film of old party
prejudices.
n conclusion, I appeal to all. Whig and Bnv
erats, to lay aaid all old party predilections.
wlncli ar antagonistic to th principle of tli
American party, and to enlist during th war.
