The Drunkard's Dream.

Prospects of ttie American Party. ; v Much' against the success of tho American party in tho national canvass of next year lias booh predicted upon tho secession of tho fifty odd delegates roprcscnljng some) thirteen of the northern States in the late PbiladelphiaConvcntion. OpS presses and- speakers have inn a great deal Of self-gratulation, thinking that the iatioqality of the party baa thos been destroyed,'and that hereafter it would subside Job a mere sectional organisation without the strength neoes- ■ sary to enterupon a Presidential contest In this they reckon beyond their host.— Wo- feel assured .from tho tone of tho leading piques at tho North, and from . the information wo have received through private sources, tiujt Amoricaniam! never stronger than i to-day, and‘that ' Shatever.may be thei alienation of cerin sections, jt will be bat temporary, platform adopted! by the majority . of the lab National Convention, will doubtless be rbceiyed.andm the end, earnestly endorsed by . the American mas- ' ses, both North and South. It is scarcely to bo expected that either of the.old parties—or their debris—will offer a better national standing ground. ‘ The whig party is dead, on its old issues, and should - the attempt bo made to revive it by'ad- 1 ding'abolition plaaks) it will be "deader still," Whatever the-old stylo Democracy, who have had a semblance of life infused into their ranks by tho Virginia election, may set forth as a platform, the \ people will.weigh against it the imbecile pdminis(ratioa,4nd discord-brewing Dou-' gloss, who have plunged the Union into a decjjcr pool of agitation and humiliation) .than any now promise of Democratic well-doing can atoao for. . The American party, therefore, stand -the fairest'chance for' success in the great national contest in 1856. But their chances, would have been pjaced beyondquestion, had they adhered firmly to tho dements and principles of their organ!Nation,' ignoring every issue,, not involved ii hostility to'fore ignis in, it was, not J art of their,true policy to raise the slayery question in any. form. / Updn that qdesUou' there will he wnrespread land radical difference of sentiment and opinion) as long as.'slavery shall exiaUj ln the majority 61 cases/ this difference is' ■ honest, and sincere, and springs; from .the nearness dr .remotenesaiofisiaveiy; to thpse who discuss, it) It is fjost I fore imprinted .by;'- education, 'lor!
