We can beat the conspirators ! beat them large-
ly, and tramp under foot thia last and most unho-
ly attempt, to subvert the unadulterated liberties
of the American Pouplo. If wo oould not—no
matter, at least, wo oan array ourselve* and ex-
pr**s anew our undying hostility to open or co-

there i , will bo aocn by reading a little in tbe

important iulortuatiou—iiupurta^t to thoae Who

here are very honeAt people—very patriotic—
have got nearly all the patriotism there ia oxtanfc
and would not dooCivo anybody. They have
probably overlooked tho oppression at tbo North
on tbo reception of thoeePhiladelphia Nation-
al resolution*; and inasmuch a* they liavo over-
looked it.and we /nice not,tlicy will of courso bo very
thankful lo 0* for publishing the whole truth,
only a part of whieh ha* come under their obaer-
vaiou. . i!u.-co#Uugly W(?do so—extracting from
Whi^anJ " Aiuorioiut " journals—their own par
tisans. The Democratic paper*, a* a matter of
couraw, deride the pitiful artifice, which a* they
think, is attempted upon the political action of tbo
people, and therefore wo prefer to quote from those
opposed to us, ns to the real state of tho Amorioan
party and the act* of it* National Convention.
Tho New York Herald in it* comment upon
tho resolutions, says—
At least cue half is luldcrdaah and mere words
and atoll—if it isnccoHsitry to use auch twaddtolo
work on tho feelings of the peoplo or the country,
n double act of documents should he adopted, onr
for Intelllgfmt readers, the other for those who ara
not, KBd euro atiould be taken to keep tha latter out
of the i-lty papers. Neither are the other points of
ihe plntfurm worth much. Abstractions do not tell
with the Mt\*«es, and are seldom worth contending
for.
Tho N. Y. Express, a xoaluus Know Nothing
or Auiericau paper says—
"It Is falso—as stated in many qwartera— that
there is anything iu thia platform which compels a
Northern man to endorse the repoal of the Missouri
Compromise by l'ioroa aud Uouglos, of the North,
not Soutli, mark thai."
"There is nothing hare pledging the American
Party,—a* the Abolition Presses state,—to admit
Kausa* into tho Union, if ahe proaent* herself,—ai
ia threatened now In some <|uartera,—with a alave
holding Coaatitutiou, mado by Missouri squatters,
who, in violation of popular sovereignty, se«m to
hate carried tho Territorial Legislature. The right
and duty of every American, North and South, to
resist auoh a violation of "popular sovereignty,"
1*apparent aud open."
Tho Ilorald nxaiu says—
The tuU of the Sarikem Statu aarcniATBo ths

Stole to oouduct tha buainea* bffore tham upeu tha
ptaaUoal anil local issues of the day,"
"The Philadelphia Council leaves far another

Is this explicit enough—tho loading organ of
tho party says thai the bulk o* the Northern
State* has repudiated tho platform ? If so, why
is tho platform oul<tgi*-vl |(y the Mouth, and the
fckmthem people Ull in darkness of its reception
