Thurrdor Morniag, : :3far 3l The Pant and the Fntare. That the 11 liners of the press have been sorely vexed at the success of the American party, in the lata elections, is evidenced by their ill nature and bitter denunciations of those whom they denominate the fusion party. This is not to be wondered at, for a more glorious triumph of American patriotism, over corruption and political chicanery, has never been known in this country a more signal defeat never betel aay party or set of men, than that which has overwhelmed the old liners of the present day. The victory has been annihilatinT there is not a State north of Alason ana Dixon's line which has not rebuked the Administration for its infamy. Even New Hampshire, the old Democratic Granite State, has denounced the administration of her "favorite on," and taken sides with the people. , We say it is not strange that with such de-. feat crowding them to the earth, that old li- ! ners should feel and talk bitterly; nor is it strange that they should be looking to the fu- j ture in hopes that sometnmg. uj v-.o what, may occur to break the harmony and j concert of the American party, so by its dis- j aensions they can coalesce with one portion or the other, and thus retrieve their fortunes. We are content with the success of the party, so far, and trust it may be equally successful in the future. Hence we have but little fears of the disasters which are predicted by the old liners as to the breaking up of the Amcrican party. It has already done a good work, and if it is to be dissolved in the future, it will have performed a glorious mission, and its friends may console themselves with the reflection that its good seed has been sown, and that its fruits will long bless the land. lieformations never go backwards. Temporary disasters may attend them, but their course i onward and upward but these old liners say that there is no na-i tionality in the American party. Is it not a little r-tranye that a party should assume so ! broad a term for its name and title as that of American, and not be national in its principles? But the old liners say that upon the question of slavery, there is no unity of feel O . ing between the Iforth and South. Perhaps ; not. But how does it stand? Tho North is : willing that slavery should take its course in all i the States where it exists by the recognition o. law. The North has no disposition to interfere with the State institutions.

VVU3MIUMVU-I "h""' I v. .u.. .wwill he Hifficlv like that1 . v --- - j contemplated by tho old liners. Whether thw, will be done or not, is to be proven in the fu- S ture. We understand the American party U have taken ita stand upon the broad platform that "Americans should rule America." No dissensions u to a tariff, internal improvements, banks or any sectional question; but thai upon these questions every one will act as the judgment of a free man and an American shall dictate. We are willing to meet the friends of our common country upon the platform laid down; but we make no compromises with slavery. If it is national to extend slavery to promote its special interests, we are not national in our feelings. We love the Union as a great Nation we would preserve it for all time to come, and we have no fears of dissolution. It has been "saved" too often to be broken up now. Let the North act justly, firmly, and there will be no secession. Our neighbor is simply mistaken when he , charges us with attempting to defend the Know XotKng.. We do no such thing. If there is such an order in this country, and they ad vocate American principle., so far as principles J am concerned we are with them If they 1 are concerncu, we are wuu mein. xi niry . see proper to meet at night, it is no business : of ours, outsider as we are, and it is equally as little the business of our neighbor. If he belongs to the Sag Nichts, and we believe he does, and. they meet in the Catholic graveyard, it is no more our business than if they meet m the back room of the post office, or in. a grocery near by. This cry about Know Nothings is all humbug, and is designed to excite the prejudices of Democrats-nothing ; else; and if our neighbor would act wisely, he would cease to fill up his paper with slan-. ders upon men who are his superiors in every ; thing that constitutes a lover of his country, ! he? institutions, and an honest citizeu. ! Col. Meredith Jefleraonian. 1 We were not a little surprised at the ap- ; pearance of a very bitter article in the last Jefiersouian in relation to Col. Meredith. Last winter Col. Meredith was a prominent ; candidate before the legislature for the United States Senate. The probability was that if an election had been held, he would have been the successful candidate; but during the entire canvass, our neighbor maintained a most dignified silence in regard to it. It was not unfrequently intimated, that, the friends of Col. M.. had bought Elder up. or be was so confident of Meredith's election, that he feared to take ground against him, on account of the influence he might exert in the appointment of a new incumbent of the post office at this place. In regard to these matter however, we know nothing, which we shall tell at present; but that he was as mute as an oyster every body knows. The high charge against Mr. Meredith now ia, that he desires to make an investment under the new State Bank Charter for the purpose of speculating. What other motive influence "bankers generally in making investments? It is an awful crime that CoL Meredith should desire to control a Bank! Other men have doneit, and now do it! Do they do it for the exclusive benefit of the people, or do they do it for the purpose of selling bills of exchange at thirty days, and pocketing 25 per cent, per annum by the operation. Bnt CoL Meredith wants to take the stock, and sell it out at 10

per cent., premium. Oh! what rascality

an you buy stock in the old bank at ten per cent, upon what it cost can you buy it for fifty per cent? Oh.no! Well, where's the j difrrnn-' Vnn r tint com nelled to buv ' stock in either the one or the other. Now we ,... -.:.,vi.r.,, r,nt rat 'drnn rif blood" in regard to this new bank, or Col. Meredith. If he will just let the Bank alone, it will doubtless take care of itself; and Col. Meredith has been in the habit of doing the same thing. But hear the young man! Look how he raves! "While Ao7tfeop!e are bewildered with the pompous huzzas of 'America to be ruled by Americans,' and are dazzled with i1ms gewgaws of the new order of proscription, vnbedle; Cct Throat and KNAVES, each .... . . ,. , , .1.1 I where God icrote U, are tteuthny creeping in-, to our political sanctuaries, ready to do the work of treason when the money of offered." Awful! Thunder and chain lightning! "li there not torn 3 chosen curse, Soma hid iua thamler ia the (toret of heaven, Hod with aasouwo wrth, V LUut tbe man" who will take stock in a bank! But seriously we beg leave hese most repeCtrUTly Vj snuic xmw aigta.lkr tit it IS not the design of Col. Meredith to take stock for the purpose of selling out at a premium. lie will, perhaps, in common with other citizens, take such an amount of stock as he sees proper others will have the same opportunity, and the entire capital stock will be taken at par, by those who choose to make an investment. This is designed to be a people's bank, and in which no aristocratic monopoly will be permitted. If a Bank should be located in this place, , .r. -.it t . i 1 . ana we presume u win oe, u not aireaav aone; i

Brownson says: "Let us dare to assert the truth in the face of the lying world, aud instead of pleading for our Church at the bar of the State, summon- the State itself to plead at the bar of the Church, ITS DIVIXKLT CONSTITCTED JUDGE." If the Pope is acknowledged to be the judge of the State, is he not abovb the State? All foreign Catholics so regard the Pope whether they come from tha PaPal StAtes of from Germany, from Spain, or from the "Green isle ol the Ocean." Wherever a true Catholic is found he acknowledges the "dominion" of the Pope, temporally and spiritually. We do not condemn the Catholic simply because he is a foreigner, but because he acknowledges a foreign power to be superior to tbe civil power of our own country the edicts of the Pope superior to trie laws of our laad. Because ne is opposed to our common schools opposed to religious toleration and religious liberty. Let the Catholic kits the big toe of the Pope in religious adoration and devotion, if he please let him worship all manner ol images and idols and relics; but let him not rule America!

Some dissatisfaction seems to exist at points where it is tho't hra.nc.hes should have been established, and have not been. Our friends at Cambridge ' City thought they should haTe had a Branch instead of the people at this place; but we presume the Board of Commissioners thought i otherwise, and we are informed located a Branch in this place.

Melon Raisins vs. Melon Stealias. j If we except a few of the rarest productions j of the Torrid Zone, thert is hardly any other ; luxury of the fruit kind, to be found the ; world over, more justly and generally esteemed than the melon. And there are very few ' the cultivation of which is attended with so ' many perplex'ties and discouragements. ' These arise, in part, from the various difficult ties, to be overcome in order to raise good melons, in any and all varieties of soil, climate and situation. " i But the greatest trouble in the matter lies in quite a different direction, the uncertainty of enjoying "he benefit of the crop after it is grown, or rather the certainly that the best of the fruit will be carried off, while the owner is dreaming of his bountiful harvest of mel-; ons. It is rather a remarkable fact, that even in those neighborhoods where every thing else is considered perfectly safe from thieves and pilferers, under any and all circumstances, the farmer can feel no kind of security for his patch of melons. Not ever, the menace of firfl-jirms. nor oven the rcrtonftl ,rTi:inn nf r , -.j , , , the threat, is of any avail. He who would make his melon-patch secure must watch it all night long, with gun in hand, and none can afford to do but those who gro melons expressly for the market, and there; are very few men who are any how pleased ... . - ti iwith the idea of firing on a feilow-being even , . a under such circumstances; for the result some-, times turns out far more serious than was m tended.

We said that no security is felt, ia any neighborhood for the roelon-p-aich. Now, j why is this ? Partly because melons are more immediately tempting, than other things, and

partly we feir because a kind of fee.mg pre-

"Yes," said the gentle mother, "I Lave seve n, -ir, but they are all in the church-yard." A sih and the dew of a tear gave impressivetess to the painful remark, and without further parley the bargain was closed.

As Vog as the Catholics, under the very nose of the Pope, exercise such tyrannous power, what excuse can they find for complaining of a strict government surveillance over the temporal affairs of their church ia the United States? Ia Tuscany it is imprisonment for rottants to read the Bible; in America it persecution if Catholics are refused the con trol of both Church and Sale.
