We have tlie pleasure of publishing, in
nutlier column, an interesting letter from
Jlr. Uciuii. ;TU circumstauces which
hare called it forth are sufficiently under
stood by the readers of the Watchman

Then, however reluctant to resign the
candidate of our ctiolceHowcver we may
egret the cireumstane s which forbade bis
yielding to the urgent solicitations of his
numerous and wana friends throngliout
the district, these feelings readily yield to
the necessity of the(fase ; and -w pas,
without hesitation, tothe support of that
candidate whose poUUcal princiJlcs most
nearly accord with onr own.
Col. Samtel N. Stowk has taken his
position upon the platform of principles
lately announced by the Americali Party.
What are they ! Briefly as follows :
1. Hie acknowledgment of that Al
miglity J?cing who rules the Universe, and
by whom our country is guided.
3. The cultivation and developement
of a profound anil passionate attachment
to our country, its history, aud its insti
tutions. 3. The maintenance of the union of
these United Stnte as the " primary ob
ject of patriotic desire."
41 Obedience to the Constitution of
these United btatea, as the supreme law
of tlie laud, sacredly binding on all its
parts and members doubtful points le

' L-- Modificatioa-pt tb Xaturalixation
Laws. Unnaturalized foreigners not per
mitted to vote, either in the States or

tbe purer days of tlie lU-tiublic. ' Umce
should seek the man, and not the man
the office."
&. Resistance to tlie aggressive policy
and corrupting tendencies of tlie lioman
Catholic church in our Country. "Ame
ricans on'v shall govern America." The
protection of alt citizens in the leiral and

cally to the success of Col. Slowe, tlie Americaa
Candidate. For him I shall cast my vote and
eiert what little Influence 1 poetess.
To shew mv sincerity in adopting tlie Amer
icaa principles I will take only what I consid
er a siagls branch of the Soutktr view of fh
subject-romiuing all others for want of leisure
just now believing that Uiw view alone, ahootd
be sumcient with lb entire South to produce s
kumwify of leeling and sentiment
From the abstract of tb census, page liO,
it appears, that iu lh year 1790, tlie. popula
tion of the Northern State was, 1,908,455
And of the Southern States, l,961,3f2
TheJuvtb and tlie South being then nearly equkl.
In Ae'ar 1 850, the Northern State '
had increased to, 13,342,194
Aud the Southetn only to, 9,499,718
3,942,478
It appears theo, that in the short space of six
ty years, the Northern Stales list tar outstrip
ped the Southern ia the increase of population ;
aud this fact appears the more striking, when
the same census tteporl establishes, that the
Mfttvs of the South have increased more large
ly than the Mitivri of the North. W hence
comes this increase then of the North over the
South ! ' The question is answered on page 133
of said report, as follows ; " Total number of
immigrants into tbe United States, since 1790,
living ia i860, with descendants of ImmigriuiU,
4,304,418." Her then is pr.-.f awtiv as
to the source of this increase ; and now fcr iu
consequences, as to the Southern States.
In the first Congress, the. North had 35 mem.
And the South liaJ 30 "
There being . then only a difference of . 5
Ia the representation in Congress under the
census of 1850 -see Keport page 160.
Tbe North bas 144 nieoihcrs,
Aud the South only . 90 1
S it appears, that siuee '1790, tlr South has
lost 49 members in the House of Beprescnta
tives alone, saying nothing of the Senate.
Tilts loss theo is clearly attributable to tbe im
migrants and their descendants, living in 1850,
and enumerated iu the census retards for that
year; and it should be remembered, that to in
crease tlie delegation of any State, k is not ne
cessary that the inhabitants thereof should be
naturalised or entitled to vote. Hut that oa the
contrary, all are enumerated, whether men, wo
men or children ; and that according to such
enumeration alone, are the members aportion
ed between tbe several State.
Now, should the stream of immigration be per
mitted to flow, as prior to 1 850, who so dull as
not to perceive, that before the present genera
tion shall have passed away, the South will and

M'ith unfeigned pleasure, we publish
the card of Gen. C. R. Joam. We have
always agreed to the General's preseut!
declaration, vix: that he happened to
vote for Lewis Cass, in 143. As to the
Yfactt, in that particular, we nose stand
together.

that the General may. be placed in his
trut position. We have always endea
vored to do the General justice, as he him
self i aware ; and whether nominated a
a Democratic candidate for Congress, or
slanderously reported as a Know Noth
ing nominee, we have equally shown a
willingness to prolong tlie notes of the
General' clarion.. . ' '
Yes, wc can assure the General that we
will bo the last to do him the slightest
iitjustioe, and whether in the social walks
of life, or at the head--of triumphant ar
mies, we will aljke use our every exertion
in smoothing hit pathway through life,
and in painting the variegated shades of
his merit. Of course, an allusion to his
past votes could have had no bearing in
any way, as we expressly stated that lie
is now a military, and not a political
character. If we have, inadvertently or
awkward Iint, we are sore that it has
! been an error of the head and not of the
heart.

youth he exbibititcd an acquisitive aud'
investigating turn of mind, and seem

graceful expression of his thought. He
was social, and communicative without
ostentation courteous and exemplary iu
hi private deportment, and iu many re
sjx'cts a nsefut man. After his settlement
iu Texas, he experienced, as we learn,
a favorable change iu reect to fortune,
and filled with profit to himself aud to
the community at large, the oaiti'n of
editor, for which he was so well fitted,

Th" first thing to bv done to hunt gold by

may be turned out of iu course so a to pour
it down on the side of a bill. The n.-vl thing ia,
to cut a ditch' down tbe kill flw tlie water to ran j
in. It must flow down putty freely, aadtlhcR j
must be a guod deal of water. When these are i
ready, and the water is pouring down the ditch,
there is nothing more to do but to dig Bp (he
soil, sand and gravel containing the gotd, and
tumble it into the ditch, or sluice, a it is called.

that if there be plenty of water, there is no dan

except the gold and some heavy sands. These

is not found im .-i-.-ssary to clean up a sluice very
often, if it w. re not to ,disapioiiit the roguish

CHANGED ITS TACTICS.
Tlic Standard, finding that the bullying
and braggadocio game, with which it
opened the present campaign, was one
not likeljj," ',M oodeiily assnined

old democratic " party to' abandon tlie
Amwinin7-wgitnfrarnti,-ti-' esiilirOBf
from among thcm,"and once more stand
by the old pie-bald concern and vote for
Mr. Branch. It weedle and roars " like
a sucking dove," in the hojie that all the
hard names it ha bestowed upon them
will be forgotten, and that they can be
again drawn into the party traces and be
made the dray horse of office seekers
and ambitious partisan. A few week
ago, and such terms as traitiyri midniyhl
(iMufHiHt for atwwn perjurcri-aad such
like chosen terms, were the epithets Jie
stowed upon them ; but they found the
more they " crissed " and abused, the
more they went into the "dark- lantern
concern, and, jretio, the vocabulury is
changed homed words, soft-sounding ci-
