From the Atlanta Examiner.Tlie American Party of Muscogee.In a late number of the Columbus Times Sentinel, the proceedings of a meeting of members of the American Party, are published atlength.• For the present we have only room to give to our readers the two last conclusions to which the meeting came, together with the names of the patriotic gentlemen who composed said meeting They tire as follows:“Although we have undiminished confidence in the patriotism, ability, and integrity of Millard Fillmore, we consider it unwise and impolitic for the South to run him for the Presidency in the present contest, for by giving him the electoral vote of two or three Southern States, we might throw the election into the House of Representatives, where the same power which elected a BlackRepublican Speaker, would ensure the election of a Black Republican President, a result alike destructive of the Union and the Constu-tional government bequcated by our ancestors.We consider that the Democratic party, recently, at C incinnati, in convention assembled, boldly, fairly and honestly placed itself in bat tie array, and tendered this ‘paramount issue’to our enemies and the world. And in view of these facts, and because of the before mentioned considerations, we feel it otn duty, as Southern men, to support its nominees, and on this issue with it conquer or with it fallWe therefore recommend to our fellow citizens the election of JAMES BUCHANAN and JOHN C.
