SATURDAY, AUGUST IP, 1855.

Indignation.—A public meeting was held in Bloomington, Ind., a few days ago, to express indignation that American born citizens should defend themselves from, or execute vengeance upon, a horde of traitor aliens who fortified behind walls and houses, were pleased to divert themselves by shooting down the sons of America. A. B. Carlton, the great aw-assinated, was secretary, and made a speech. We had supposed this renowned individual had rendered himself sufficiently rediculous, by his pretended assassination, to retire from the field. 'Tis said, by the way, that this sapient young man had a longing desire to publish to the world, the fact that he had been in company with a lady—and concocted the story of his assassination byway of excuse. Fit man to denounce K. N.'s,—Carlton is.

From the Cine innati Gazette.

The American Party and those who Ahme it. The Commercial of yesterday had a two column leader against the American party, taking for its text a paragraph which appeared in the Gazette of the day before. The gist of the article 'is. that the American party is a party which encourages murder, arson, and all sorts of villianies that crime is the legtimate fruit which it bears, and we art pointed to the terrible scenes recently enacted at Louisville, and last spring at Cincinnati, as evidence of the correctness of the allegation.'

and

which are likely to flow from the causes named. If so, they have been guilty of no crime, unless an undue regard for the purity of the ballot box and the best interests of the States are crimes. There is certainly nothing bloody or devlish—nothing murderous or rapinelike in them. Still we are told day by day that the American party are inoendiaries, dark lantern conspirator, whose works are to be traced upon the corpses of the dead, and the blackened and charred walls of the pillaged and burned dwellings of the poor. Louisville and Cincinnati are the Lexington and the Yorktown, the first and the last bat-tle-fields of the Americans against liberty, humanity and religious toleration.

How utterly absurd and incomprehensible do charged like these appear, when cooly reflected upon, and even casually investigated. That more than one half of the American-born citizens of the thirty-one States of the Union should of a sudden foreswear the vital principles of the government, and become the propagadists of the deepest and most atrocious crimes known to men and, as if the moral and political phenomena were not complete in its fully and absurdity, the foreign-born citizens, fresh from the bogs of Ireland and the low-lands of Holland, should begome the conservators of Americar liberty and the defenders of the faith, delivered by the Fathers of the Revolution to the children of their love, and to their posterity, through all generations.

The question of how ca*me these riots these violations of law and order, these deaths, these burnt dwellings, is yet to be answered? Wc have our views on the subject and we shall express them. They have their birth and origin in political deceit, newspaper claptrap and demagogues harrangues. For years the newspapers and office seekers have been paying court to the foreign votes of this country. They have been flattered, cajoled and made puppets and tools. The perlieus of our Courts, for days before elections, have been crowded with foreigners, wishing to become voters, in order that they might give their sweet voices in favor of that demagogue for office, who had succeeded best in flattering their vanity or impressing them with thesincerity of his friendship. This yearly influx of the foreign element in our elections, these judicial manufactories for the grinding out of voters, had for many years been regard-! ed with apprehension by the wisest and most philosophical statesmen in the countrj. They did not, however, dare to oppose them, well knowing their power to make and un-make public men.!

So it went on, year after year, until the abuses of the system became evident and glaring to all. The evils which the politicians and statesmen shrunk from approaching, the people advanced boldly up to, and took, by the horns and prostrated, for, like all great reformatory movements, the American movement sprung from the people, and not from the politicians and it was not until the people had demonstrated their power in the elections which followed, that the politicians began to notice it. Then began the crusade against the American movement—then came denunciation anpl abuse. All at once it was
