The onhr remedy; for;! this disease, is the removal: of s cause ; which is the object of the Amerieaa 'party-! It often is argued before the 'people, that the number of foreigners within our country is tod small and insignificant to incite them to action 'against ahem, and this point is al ways vehemently pressed. . r - Independent of the" fact, that' the are al ready so numerous as to cause the old line party leaders and office seekers assidsously to strive with each other to secure their ta vor, and that by means not the most virtu ous ; and independent of the further fact that we have strong reasons to believe that the Presidency of the United States. has al ready been put up .to public auction and sold to the highest bidder by the General commanding the foreign vote in America 1 I say independent of these facts, the census report shows, that the foreigners, and their descendants in 1850, being 4,011,828, is more than sufficient to counterbalance the federal population of the following nine Southern States, viz : North Carolina South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Missisippi, Louisiania, Florida, Arkansas, and Texas, the agregate of their federal population be ing only 4,010,684 ! thus, as it were, off setting and stiffling the voire and intluence of nine Southern States European repre sentation checking the Southern voice ! The evil to the South is already great, and overwhelming ruin, only lingers for a sea son.. - How can Southerners thus run after false Gods, decrying the party that is so pre-em-.intly Southern, "Why quit their own, to stand on foreign ground?" The love and ihirst for place seems lo be greater in this taeialic age, than the love of country. Jf the American Party, shall compass its purposes, entirely out off all foreign immi gration, even the evils' will, be great enough. At the close of the Revolution in 1790, the population of the United States was nearly four millions, and in 1850, had increased five fold, to twenty millions. In another period of sixty years, the American popu lation, by a live ratio ofincrease since 1850 . -being now in 1855 6,105,416, must then be thiuty millions a number 50 per cent greater than the present population of the , .United States. The States and public lands in a few years will be sufficiently packed with our own population, without inviting, pressing and actully paying Europe to take up her abode with us. Some regard should be had . to the next and succeeding generations, and provident parents always have an eye to the comfort, prosperity and happiness of their offspring. I trust that in this condensed statement of a single branch of .the question, I have said enough to justify myself in siding with that party, which is pre-eminently the Southern Party and the view I have tak en of it is-only Southern, without regard to party politics. To prevent the further hum , ilation of the South, should be the one wish, the united aim of every Southerner ; and how else can we avert the impending evil, but by a concerted and energetic union amongst ourselves to remove the cause of all our own and country's ills ? The continual introduction of foreigners from aged, corrupt and festering Europe, engendering agrarianism, abolitionism, se cessionisra and other radical enormities, and transplanting to our land, paganism and polygamy, idolatry and infidelity, with their trains of vices and crimes ; is surely a de testable policy, that can receive the appro bation of no virtuous minds. Were the ships that come freighted with such disor ders only suspected of being tainted, with small pox, cholera or other phyicnl infec tion, how readily would the strictest quar antine laws be forced against them. But bearing only moral plagues, more pestilen tial in their character and contagious in their nature, they are welcomed into our ports and received with raptures of joy. It seems impossible that a nation so compos ed can expect to enjoy that peace, tranquil ty and harmony of feeling and sentiment so essential lo its welfare ; and it is certanly problematical, whether a Union of such cor rupt and discordant materials can at all en dure, and even if it can, whether such a Union is worth preserving. Very Respectfully, your most obedient kc, II. W. G 13 ION. The First Presbyterian Cburcli. The first Presbyterian church in A merica, was organized in Philadelphia about the year 1598.

There will be a public meeting in Forsyth county, at Mr. Teauge's (formerly the Walker place,) 6 miles east of Salem and north west of Kernersville, on Saturday the 3d day of May next, to discuss the principles of the American party, at which place the public generally, irrespective of parties, are invited to attend. Gen Leach, the American Elector, Gen. Pomdexter, Messrs. Wilson, Starbuck, Wharton, anJ others are expected to be present. . If there beany persons opposed to' the principles of the American party, they are invited ,to attend and participate in lay discussion. . - Our Xoniiiice Jotm A. Gilmer., Unquestionably it will require the best energies ana united efforts, of the Ameri can, and the true friends of the highest in terests of the State, not, perhaps, to elect Mr. Gilmer Governor, Vut to give him that ma jority so necessary to impart strength and prestige to our organization,and the assur ance to the people that the permanent in terests and prosperity of the State will be cared for, and promoted. Mr. Bragg has just been re-nominatecf. notwithstanding, it is said, he did not desire the nomination ; and for the reason, perhaps, that in the coming contest, he knows he is destined to' meet a foe worthy of his steel. 'Tis true General Dock ery was a fine specimen of our race brave, bold, honest, and possessed of fine common sense, a strong mind and much force of character; but unfortunately for him in the contest with Bragg, he was no lawyer and was without the benefit of a classical education, though with these great disadvantages he bore him- self manfully, and ran his unscurpulous adversary to the throat-latch. 'Tis not because we repeat it, but it is generally known and admitted throughout' the State, that while Mr. Bragg is a gentle manly man, of easy manners and fair talent, yet there has never been in the State, a more unfair and unscrupulous opponent in? debate ana discussion or one more- prone and'addicted to sophistry special pleading,; and jesuitism ; or who could propound mom impertinent questions as to side issues ; or; who would deal in more wreckless asser- tions, not to say demagogueism in a conf eluding speech upon his opponent. " In all, this, what a mighty advantage the sophis and lawyer, had over the honest man, and the plain farmer! and how dexterouslly he availed himself of these advantages! Can he shuffle the same packed cards, and play the sanie game in the approaching canvass,4" with John A. Gilmer ? We think not! ave! r we know i, and he knows it also; So, his cannon is spiked, as to the main : element and cause ofhis success before ; and " Othel lo's occupation's gone !" We desire to institute no invidious con panions except so far as the common sense and common understanding of the Country respond to ; but going only to that extent, we may be permitted to say, that while Gov;, Bragg's forte, and only reputation is that of a LawyerJ'that in this view, whether we consider Mr. Gilmer's great legal acquire ment, ability as an advocate, success in practice, or pecuniary remuneration (ils most comfortable result!) in any and all of these aspects, John A. Gilmer stands fort)i Gov. Bragg's superior. And when ttfe campaign opens, and the contest waxes warm from the hustings, the great jury er4 pannelled to decide between the -talents aifd ft merits, and services rendered the State by the pitted champions, will make up 'their minds, and on the first Thursday in August next, will, in our judgement, return a ver dict in favor of John A. Gilmer of Guilforll! Why should not this be the verdict of the people? Who doubts Mr. Gilmer's talents integrity, or patriotism? Who does not know the great and essential services' he has rendered the State? Who has exerted; a greater and a wider influence in her pro gress and development, and done more Jo promoie her general prosperity ? No man, within hier broad bounds. I Possessing a commanding influence attd State reputation, jhaa he been sectional in the exertion of this influence, or in his votes?

In one word, we are willing and ready, as a personal and political friend of Mr. Gil mer's to stake his election upon his acts and speedies and votes in the Legislature for the last ten years, because, a part from his great local popularity,-we believe that his great ici true North Qarphman. uch is John stilrthe vommon -School Honse, beneath kitimet, and such awistecSentSfT"'" whose humble roof thousands of NorthJCar fMr. Gilmer has a yeiry lairge circuit, and olirias cnildfreri receive annually al fSt est strength lies right here a. strength that readers of the Flag that they should occa cannot be resisted or overcome. sionly hear from us, and now at the first op- Sutitiiteiideiit of Common Schools It affords us mlie?r pleasure to publish . . - .' .. a . c this week an able communication from lur. Wnjtv. the State Superintendent of Com- , mon. Schools. And we bespeak for the communication an attentive perusal ; not only because it is written with classical elegance and in good taste, but also because of the real importance of the subject itself. It is a matter of deep regret that so little interest has been here - tofore felt on the subject of our Common School system. If there is any one thing that contributes more than another, to the general good and wel-being of the people at large, that thing is education the ele vation of the great middle classes of society mental and moral training and devel6p ment. And this is the object and intent of the Common School, and for this great and noble purpose it was created and laws to carry it out enacted. The good that might be, aye, that is often effected in the Common Schools, especially among the poorer classes of soci ety, is ac tually incalculable, and will never be ade quately appreciated or unfolded in this world. Much good has already been effected by Air. Wiley, in giving form character and efficiency to the system," which it is hoped the people of the State duly appreciate. He possesses all the educational, intellects al and moral endowments so essential to the character of a good Superintendent : and perhaps the State has no son, who feels more interest in seeing the School System (over which he presides) successfully car ried out, or in" witnessing the improvement and elevation of the laboring or middle classes of society than himself. We have given Mr. Wiley's Third Annu al Keport a cursory reading, and find it to be very able and Interesting affording to the true friend of education much eneour ageraent. fi-'-J--, ':" "'J The report is too long- as from its na ture and scope it necessarily most be eith er to reach or be read by the masses of the people, but any one who miy read it, will st how thoroughly acquanted h i with his subjectin i!l4ts phases and beariiiffs, . .

Before leaving home we promised the portunity we take our seat to fulfill the prom- lse en maae- -ouia we oy a sicetcn oi 1 nnr innrnpv rrpntft in thp. minds nf nnr rd- f j. t i bi w UU4U- miration with which our own hearts were inspired by the many .interesting and beau tiful sights presented to our enraptured vision, while by the power of steam we were swiftly whirled along, why then we should most certainly attempt, what others before u8 nave so often attempted to give a de tailed account of all that we have seen and witnessed. But these things to be appre ciated must be seen. To feel, to know and understand the inexpressible feelings of de light, wonder and admiration, that will swell the bosom of the beholder, during a trip on the Bay, as he looks forth, upon the wide extent of the blue waters dotted over with vessels of every description, and as he lets his eyes linger upon the distant shores, covered with villages and welL cultivated farms, we must take the boat for ourselves. No description can do justice to the scene, to the grand panorama spread out to view.' The evening of the 12th was quite warm and sultry and had the apperance of a speedy rain. The road was dusty render ing it very uncomfortable and oppressive in the cars, so that it was with much pleas ure that we made at 5 o'clock that evening the exchange of the cars for the boat at Portsmouth. . ' We saw for the- first time those cities. which an all wise Providence saw fit in his wisdom and goodness to afflict with such an awful .visitation during the last year. The cities have we understand almost re covered from the shock as far as business is concerned, and to the stranger passing through ,her streets, had he never been told of the calamity which came upon them, per haps nothing would' have caused him to suppose that they had ever been afflicted, had not the sable dresses of the Ladies who thronged the streets told too plainly that "The angel of death had spread his wing on the blast ' ' And breathed in the face of his victims as they -passed-" Ana though the various haunts ? of pleasure, and the different marts of business have assumed, their thoujn vcrowaa leaeTreekinciUzeii thrjongUiej bnsy thorongnertares so latety aessnt rmournJ ceas m9iwrii orphans which meettheview-at every point, cannot fail to reealt to Sfie mind of the be holder, the tragic scenes of only a few short months ago, when, in those cities now a- gaifl so flourishing and gay, "like in leaves ftje forest weix summer is green, " " 7'-; " A-kost with its bannersat iun?et was seen, - Like .'the leaves of the forest, wheajiutumn Jias ' blown" "-'i-'-5 - That )ost on the morrow lay -wimered and strown." Oar ride up tke Bay, was truly mostde lightful, and beautiful beyond -description ) we took our stand upon, the deck, and gated upon he ill fated cities of Norfolk; and Portsmouthj until they faded away in the distance and were lost to sight behind the blue waves, which leaping up seemed laughing in their joy to receive in their em braces the departing sun. But if the sight was beautiful glourious and indiscribable by day; what shall we say of it, when Apollo's firyf steed had plunged beneath the waves, and moon, the queen of night with all the stars like maids attendant on their mistress shone forth in all their glory? It was' in deed sublimely beautiful. "They who go down with ships into the sea, these see the wonderful works of the Almighty, and learn to praise Him for his wonderful mercy and goodness." Although we had been some thirty-six hours without sleep we remained upon deck untill 11 o'clock, when a cold and chilly breeze sprang up, reminded us that it was prudent to retire, and having found a comfortable bed we were soon rock ed to sleep by the rolling of the boat, and totally unconscious of passing events, until awaking the next morning, we found the sun careering high in the heavens, andthejolly boat ploughing the waters near the great city of Baltimore, which we reached a little after 8 o'clock, A. M. It being Sunday we concluded to stop until next day. We found comfortable and pleasant quarters at Barnum's Hotel,- partook of a fine dinner and in the evening went to church heard a real old orthodox blue skin Presbyterian Sermon. Next morning took a view of the city purchased a little giant corn crusher, for the benefit of some old cows at home ; took the cars at 11 J o'clock, landed in Phil adelphia among the Quakers, about half af ter four ; have taket. quarters at the Ameri can house on Chestnut, just oposite the old State house,' am very well pleased with the eating doings, only it occupies to much of our. time. You take your seat at the ta ble, and after enquiring what you will have a servant is posted off, to the market house, to get what ever you call for, which in due j time is very neatly served up you then ask for something else, and the servant again goes through the same motions -of running to market, and cooking and so on, until af ter some seven or eight hours sitting you can manage to procure a very good meal. It is a great house for eating-and if a person had nothing to do but eat, we should advise them by all means to come here. On Saturday night the 12th, about 10 o'clock, Philadelphia was visited with a most violent storm, which did considerable damage hav ing blown down some 150. houses, many were unroofed, and the shutters sent flying over the city. I have not heard that any lives were lost though it is stated as a fact, that several ladies who were walking the streets had their shoes blown off their feet.' I do not vouch for. this, I only tell the tale as it was told to me. We have at this tinie, while we are writing,' quite a ram accom panied with much thunder and lightning. the weather is warm and pleasent, and no traces are left in the city of the late severe winter, except that the streets are miserably dirty the authorities not having had time since the thaw to cleanse them -they pre sent, this evening the appearance of Mr Mabry's stable lot, or that his lot would present if a few thousand dead cats were ground up, and mixed with the other filth with which said yard abounds. The Hix ite Quakers, are now holding their yearly meeting, and as a consequence thereof the streets abound with broad-brims. As soon as the Hixites are through the Orthodox will commence where they leave off, and as their brims are still broader, it is thought there will be but little use for uniberellas during that time. We attended the Court of Common Pleas this evening saw a poor Paddy and his wife convicted of larceny, and a negro convicted for stealing a pair of cart wheels. The cart had beeri hired out, he stole the wheels anof unfortunately, took them to the owner for sale the owner of the wheels recognized them and had him arrested. We saw six white men and two negroes crowded together in the prisoners' box waiting their trial. It was hard to tell who looked most, like white folks, .the ne groes or the others. But I must go to sup per, 6r: else I will not get through before mid night. In my next, I will tell you something about politics and the abolition ists.' , V A ' FASHIONARLE HAIR CUTTING AND EASY SHANING.
