THK undersigned feel gratified in being able to say to the citizens of TerreHaute, and the people ©r Indiana and Illinois, generally, that former success and present prospects justify them in announcing the Daily And Weekly American as a fixed fact, and destined to exist.

The following sentiments, will embody the political faith of the American, and will be maintained, in a spirit of courtesy towards those who may differ with uts in sentiment. 1 st. A jUKI discrimination in favor of native born citizens, for all offices of trust and profit, iu preferance to those of foreign birth. 2d. The Union of these States. 4 3d. Opposition aU, local or sectional prejudices,

ks.t

4lh. The United States of America as they at-e, "one and inseparable." 5th. 3STo Sectarian interference in our legislation, or the'Administration of American Laws. 6th. Hostility to the assumptions of the Pope, through the Bishops, Priests And Prelates of the Church, or by powers of the Old World. 7 th. Restoration of our State naturalization laws to a correspondence with the Constitution of the United States. 8th. Free and liberal Educational Institutions, for all sects and oksses, with a free use of the Bible, God's Holy Word, as a textbook. 9th.

Tbe 'Monroe doctrine* against' colonization on the American continent by the nations of Europe.

The latest Foreign and domestic gen eral and local news, will be careJullyt noted, and selections will be made in reference to the maintenance of a high! tone of morals in our columns.

The markets, of our own and of thef principal commercial cities of the States/ will be correctly reported daily and
