Editor : A few d ay s a go, after divesViug myel f of .fcll party prjudicsd(anct you know that if prejudices I hare in favoV of any party, they lire towards the old Whig party,) I took up H tne American jriauor m rio rau m w'"v ! ' nd understanding!, .so): that I might be j j jigbtly guided hi casting my vote in the Jen I' suing elections. The reason I Lad'for so do 1 ing was not because I had lost confidence rn I ikelWhig party or in TFAty principles ; but,. because iknew that a new party nay sprung W;iffetiin al'tege'her, as Inn- .dersWd them, from those formerly professed and maintained ly the Whig party. As I said, I took it up ifor examination; an J at the first olance I discovered nothing material which I could object to, and thought, as is iha fart, that some of the iTak in tkatPlat- form were trulv patiiolic. Upon a closer iew, however, 1 saw "right straight though aid observed at once that mny of its parts, aesnt anyuimg wuicu , u"Mai; "M anil circumstances, , In the first place, I could not see why the 'American" party commenced their Platform bv an acknowledgement of ?.

I do not wish, i r.

But I was surprised to see such a display ot relig'.qus 1 sentiment in the opniag paragraph of their principles? try should entirely cease .and that will nev when at the same time, it U w!l known tJiat? er be the case, until our pTesent free govern- Ian nnaitintT of tha 4Amtirioftn" nartv are - I members of no religioes denomination, and many living in open violation of every reh' ious printiplef I think, Mr. Editor, under (he present sta'.e of the party, as far as I have I had an opportunity to observe, fhis suction of teir Platform is a mockery, and as merely inserted in its place to cast a solemnity a- Toand -the superstructure wbieb nootherprin oiplc in the whole fabric i would ereate, and I they (thefArafiricau party) believed n a de- pcnclnceiLipoh Almightj God, and upon Him al re, for all the blessings bestowed upon usi they canuOt be Anything but right. But let this section pass, as it is plainly understoed '.lor what purpose it was inserted. The.secoud section is undoubtedly very patriotic, and accords well "with the senti- inents.of every true lover of his country; anj the pnnciples there laid down should be the ruling principle of every party. meiicans must rule America,'1 1 deem aatn Ataericnn, because it strikes at the destruc- tionfof one of our republican- pfincples, by J endtavoring to take away from many of out . . i .1 i I the Constitution. It excludes i from ofEee of any kind all who have been so unfortunate, ' !' fif it ray bo so thought, as to bi born un der the rule, of some other power than tha1 1 -i. , of the United States, no matter how long he ,: may have become a citizen, or how compe I tent he may be to fill an office. This f think rery objectionable, because, by establishing J this as a principle by which wo must act, the I' government, in many cases, would be depri- ved of worthy and .excellent men, and befnointerferen.ee with the religious jfauh or . I. compelled to1 substitute often in their places , f incompetent persons, fnd thereby subject I I the people to a great many inconvenience I The! foarth section is all right, as it is a trueitm, for it never has been a controverted 1 point. Persons born of 'American parents I while in othes countriee: of course should be considered as much citizens of the United States, as though they were, born in thi country. Biit the fifth, Mr Editor, is only a gloes which has no application, put on .the' pro soriptivo principle laid down by the origini1 'Know Nothing organization, -to draw into the ranks of the "Ameriean'' party those ' i xYhijs who became disaffected by the in' Itrodnction of so objectionable a feature, as thatfwhioh; proscribes a man becausa he happens to prefer worshiping od according 1 to tha dicUtes of his own conscience The jabsurdity ot tls section is goring, inasmuch as it wau Id be utterly impossible tor a native Ibornjcitben to i'ecognize any nllgiauce of obligation" temporally: to , aof power on learthoUier than that of the United States. jlAnd if a fortignoT, it ia impossible for him to jhold allegiance to any foreign, power after he jhas complied with the requirements of the ixjonstitution. To charge hem with holding lallegiance to any other power besides that Of jthe United Stales after. tbiey have taken the joath, would be chaiging1 them with the high jcrimeoJ petjurv: If the allegiance referred to4s intended to affect a-man in his spiritual -por one; denomination of ChrUtians,) as the jkingdora of-Gbd isuot of this world," and, -therefore, all oweobligatbns to a higher au thority, khan that of man.- I think. Mr. Ed (or, this vection pf the "American" Piaj-form h far inoro objectionable, taking it in this f'd it is a' fair deduction) than tha.t iviews then, in my opinion, it could well ope ia?e upon all religionists alike, (although in jHllipifJbRbiijty, 'it js new' only ittended but 1 adopted by the Know Nothing, because the latter was open in. its language, and told who they meant to proscribe, and what might be expected from that oider by those proscribed, unless, as I suppose they would Wme hyp ocrites and sell their consciences ijy renoun. cfng their religion; while the present-avowal of principle i dark in iu language, and may be to construed as to he opposed to any, reli gion which the "American" psirtyjn its wisdem may oppose. I object, Mr, Editor, to the prescription ef any religion. It is antiAmerican aad aatu lepublican. Everyman ha a right, under onr constitution, te enjoy his opinion of re ligion unmolested and without restraint, and when the precedent is once sej ; "that a man is Co be prohibited from enjoying the rights guaranteed to him as i a citizen, be cause of his religion, thn another And anoth er of different beliefs, who may happen to be the weakest in number, will also be prosci bed, until at last every vestige of religion will be driven from our now happj lanl, and in- fi . -. WJ5 in FrMce umcr txV "reign I f Rtfaton gtafc abroad in triumph over this vast extent of territory ; . j The suth, seventh and eight petrous will pass over, . 1 find nothing (materially objectionable, and therefore, would be w.lhng to endorse their sent ments were it not that they are embodied in a code of pnnciples which I eannot approve as a whole. I Of tVi ninth, however. I will make a few i remarks. In that section there is a princi ujs sanction to it by his vote- It iuvojves, in mv opinion, vitl principle upon which rests tne (jestinie8 of this jfTorious republic. For the perpetuity of our Government jit cannot j possibly tend, unless emigration to jthis coun merit raakm tn exist. The oarrvinsr out f j " the principle in this section, would! cause the j influx of foreign emigration to be as gret a cuise as could be entailed J upon us; tor it I would force upen us men who could not act with us or for us, but whoV under the present term r years pecinaa ior iueir jtrocuuiing j naturaliz-d citizens, would, ia mostjeases, be- come good and faithful citizeas. What I asr, would the Americaa party do with those are to remain years before they could be made citizens or the United States, if a war should break ou J in the meantime they were waiting to become naturalized! IFbuld they have them ex- pelle. f from oer shores after thy had been I here probably fire or twenty years take up arms and battle against th it Country to which they had come te seek art asylum rom the oppression of despotism f yr would they have them remain among as inj indiffer- I ence to our successes or reverses i The laiter them. For, they not being allowed to partale of the benefits resulting from the privileges of citizenship, would not feel that interest in the welfare of our institutions or ourj country I t.:-..t- u 1 It n.,.l U.J. M.n I tified-with us by the rights of naturalization, aud, therefore, th3 only reasonable conolu- sion to be drawn is, that those at least be-, longing to the nation with which we might at the time be opposing, would war against us upon our own soil." f The tenth section refers to the opposition of the American party to any union of C7hurch and State, and professes that the party offer8 worship of any 6ne, and is opposed to test oaths of office. This would be all right if the language of the section wa not made snper. fiuous by the latter clause referring to the fifth section of the Platform, which I have, al ready shown to be proseriptire in the! highest extreme. But, perhaps it would not! be con sidered an interference with one's 'religious faith' for the American party, as did the Know Nothings, to judge according to the rules and usages of that inquisitorial body whether a man should be. eligible to hold an cfBp.a. flA nil-f ai di n m norfain riliiirimk'Anin. I ' But, Mr. EditoiyasThave madothii aiticle longer than I at firU anticipated, I shall pass on to the 13th secVon, and there end my strictures upon the "American" Platform;"; In noticing this seetion, I do not intend t0 vindicate the general coursa pursuad by the present Allrainistrktion, that I have nothiBg to dowith in this' connexion; but one clause, however claim the attention 'of every south ern man. It is that part which refers t th repeal of they Missouri Compromise, j The American party opposes that measure and stigmatises it las ! a 'reckless and Unwise' course putsuaoVby' the Admiaiatratien, and charges that it has caused a re-epening of seotional agitation1 by the passage of that act. How can any southern man give his support to a party holding doctrines up iniai -ical to their interests, ia beyend the powers of my conception, and the Compromise ac drew a line which deprived the tiotith as slaveholders of-the right to the tenitoiVes re cenily acquired, bat by id repeal tke restrio. tion has been removed and" the South plaeed upon the same footing with the North-. If by granting to all sections of th country an equality of right is a 'reckless and unwise policy,' then it is true that the Administration party, by the passage of that act, is guilty the charge, and, though a crime in the eyes of the American pany, is entitled to the h'g'i. est com meLdation ofe very true Arnencaa. I conceive the -repeal of therGotDpromise to benight; tor, as tko territories arethe com XDon propTtjfonrc6mpoi coUntiy, every man. whether! southern ror .northern should bavo the same -right to enjoy the, -benefit?, ?f there are any arising from the possession ,of these lerritories by the General tx6vernrentv NowMr. Editoiflowcan I be expeeted' as a Whig, to support a platfbim of princi ples so materially at Variance with 'thohe I have always believed to have been the funda mental principles of the great!

But things have now changed; old parties are dis organized and new ones have been foiraed differing materially from tnat which I have religiously adhere i to since the first mom&t I was entitled to the suffrages of a freeman. Viwing the party whieh has spruncr up cb the ruins ef the old Whig prty as I do, the only alternative left me is (unl- ss I show an indifference to the welfare of my country by withholding my vote from the ballot box whieh I cannot do, being brought to the be ief, that the Democratic party now the oa ly national party of the eouBtry,) to support the Democratic nominees by casting my votvs at the ensuing election f r Buehanan, Breckinridge and Bragg.
