WHAT NEXT?

Themost prominent question now agitating the publio mind, is what is, to be the end of all the various Platforms Councils and Conventions that have been held and formed during the past month We predicted on the 18th of June, through the columns of our paper, that any attempt to fasten upon the American party any sectional question or side issue, would tend to, and produce disorganization, and we claimed no special giflor foresight, for so doing. It was the natural result that must flow from such a cause.

The masses composing that party were men of all political creeds, who mutually, agreed to lay aside all former predilections, and to sustain one great national principal—placing ev^y department of the National Government in the hands of Native born Americas This was a question upon which true Americans could unite, and the only question was a matter of expediency. Many good and true men—many Native born American men, doubted the policy of such a movement, and therefore would not act with the party, gogues fearing a verdict from the people, opposed it as a matter of course, and the more so when they discovered that the door of this party

WHS

forever

closed against them. With united effort and action this new element of political power met and completely routed the enemies of the people—the enemies of America.

Success caused the people to relax their vigilence, and certain seditious men crept in unawares, and stirred up sectional and local questions, and when the National Council met and would not pot to suit men who had ulterior view and favorite isms to carry out, the few seceded from the Council, and this set the example of insubordination, and sowed the elements of disorganization. •Tis no wonder that the example is followed. It was perfectly natural that the subordinate councils would follow the example of their State head, and hence, as will be seen the Council in Terre Haute have repudiated the platform adopted by the State Council, and have determined to stand by the National Council. This they had a perfect right to do, if the State Council had the power and right to nullify the action of the National Council. But we contend that the State Council had no such right. They had delegated their authori'y to the National Council and hence had t\o power to thus nullify her action—any more than any one State of the union has the right or the power to nullify a law of tho United S'ates to whom the several States have delegated their power to act. Thus we see the State Council cut off from the national, and the subordinate in like manner from the State.! The question then very naturally ari-ses.-r-What next?

MESSRS. EDITORS:—I had a hearty laugh over the story of the "sixty yoke of red bulls" that got "stuck in the Kansas incident which was toliTme'Ey a man who said he was an eye-wknes to it. The narrator, in company witi a friend, had reached the Eldorado of the West, late in the evening. Early on the following morning they made their toilets, and sallied forth to drink in the beauties of the wide-rolling prairies. A stiff breeze was blowing, but being at their backs, they did not realize its force. After sailing before the wind some hour or two, they discovered in the distance a dark object resembling a man.- Their curiosi led them to direct their steps towards the solitary traveler. As they neared him, it was found that he was clinging to a stunted scrub-oak, and his coat-tail and nether limbs were flapping and seesawing Bercely in the wind at an angle of forty-five degrees. When within speaking distance, our travelers hailed him as follows: "Hallo, stranger, how long ave you been anchored here? Rather windy this morning." "Oh no, not very windy," gasped the squatter sovereign, "I have been in this country five years, and this is the calmest morning I have seen yet!"

WhaKdo they expect to Gain by it? An w'icle apdpared in the Yinoennes News a few days since, under the above head, complaining that Mr. Grisw Ja had fip'nished an extra train to take St.
