H. l SATURDAY MORNING, OCT. 27, 1855. fLATFORM OF THE AMERICAN PARTY OF NORTH CAROLINA, At a Convention of the American party, held at Raleigh, on the 19th of October, 1855, the fol lowing resolutions were adopted. Boohed, That, as the, causes which rendered the secrecy of the jucrm3b organisation neces sary iu ita infancy, no ledger xiat all the secret ceremonials of the order whether of initiation, ob ligations, signs, constitutions, rituals, or passwords be abolished that we do constitute - ourselves into a publicly organized jHy that we do chal lenge our opponenta to the public discussion of our principles -and we do hereby invite and in voke the aid and co-operation of all the citizens of the State, without regard to their former po litical affiliations, in maintaining and carrying out the great aims, principles and objects of the American Party. . Retolted, That we do hereby ratify and en dorse the principles enunciated in the platform of the American party, by the National Council of the same, begun and held at Philadelphia, on the 6th day of June, 1855, in relation to the political policy of the Government whilat at the same time, we consider the three great primary prin ciples of the organization, which constitute th e basis of our party, as paramount in importance to any issues of mere governmental policy. Retolced, That these three great primary prin ciple are,Jtri, the confinement of the honors, offices and responsibilities of political station, un der our government, to native-born Americans, with a due regard, at the same time, to the pro tection of the foreign-born in all the civil rights anxl privileges guaranteed to freemen by thecon stitution, whether Federal or State. Secondly, Resistance to religious intolerance, and a rigid maintenance of the great principle of religious freedom by excluding from office and power, those who would pereecute for opinion's sake, who wfculd control the politics of the country through Church influences or priestly interfer ence ; and who acknowledge an allegiance to any power on earth, whether civil or ecclesiastical, as paramount to that which they owe to the Con stitution. And, Thirdly, unswerving devotion to the U sion of these States, and resistance to all (actions and sectional attempt to weaken its bonds. IU-iiveti, That in all Dominations for political station hereafter to be matte by the American Party, it is recommended that the Bame be done in open public meeting and that all those who agree with us in principle, and who concur in our aims and objects, shall hereafter be recogni zed as members of the American party. RtMAvtd, That' H be recommended to the A merican Party in this State to hold a Convention of delegates, to be appointed iu public primary meetings in the respective counties, in Greens boro', on Thursday the 10th day of April next, for the purpose of nominating a candidate to be run by the American party for Governor at the next election that each county appoint as many Del egates as it chooses, and that the mode of voting iu said convention be regulated by the conven tion itself. Retolced, That we consider the 22d day of Feb ruary next the time heretofore selected by the National Council of the American order,, for the nomination of candidates for President and Vice President, as too early a day for that purpose, and we do hereby recommend to our brethren of the American party throughout the Union the propriety of postponing the holding of said convention, to some time in the months of June or July. Retolced. However, lest such postponement may not take place, it is deemed advisable to appoint two delegates to represent the State at large in such nominating Convention, and it is recommended to the American party in each Congressional District to hold primary meetings in the respective counties, and appoint delegates to District Conventions, for the selection of aaei egate from each respective District to said nomi nating Convention. Retolced, That an Executive Central Commit tee of five, be appointed by this body, whose du ty it sliall be to attend to the general concerns of the American party in this State, to carry on the necessary correspondence, and take such incep tive steps as may be deemed necessary ior we more thorough organization of the said party ; ! and that said executive committee be authorized and requested to appoint a County Executive Committee for each County in the State ; and that said County Executive Committee do fur ther appoint a sub-committee lor each election precinct in the county, with a view to a more thorough and complete organization of the Amer ican party in North Carolina. These Resolutions strike us as almost unobjec tionable. They will contribute greatly towards the triumph of the American party over the ab surd prejudices which have been instilled into the popular mind by its artful and untiring adversa ries. Tha Platform is one which we can stand firmly upon, and we cannot see how any citizen who is desirous of purifying the Government and restoring legislation to its right channels and functions aan enlist himself in opposition to it. The sneers and jeers of locofocoisni will still, we have no doubt, be persisted in for it is hot to be supposed that the party in power will leave any expedient untried to prevent the success of a new organization that has for its purposes the re formation of locofoco abuses, the suppression of anti-slavery agitations, and the harmonizing of the Union. Such political aims as these do not exactly square with the maxims and doc trines of the Regency and Junto schools.. De mocracy, (as the "Petersburg Intelligencer" sug gests,) if asked to point to her jewels, would Doint at once to " the spoils." Those are the a m most precious of all-its possessions, and they will be clang to with a death grasp. The American Party unquestionably have a Herculean task to accomplish. A victory over the Democracy is no easy achievement, ' but it will be gained at last, if the proper e Sorts are made to tear from the eyes of the people the bandages with which locofocoism has so long and bo easily blinded them. It therefore behooves every friend of the new organization to be active and zealous in his efforts to advance their cause. The materials for successful appeals to the people are to be found abundantly In the above Resolutions; and no tune should be lost nor labor spared in urging those appeals. Let every step be. taken to en lighten the popular miud with the truth, and to disabuse it of the gross errors with which Democ racy has crammed it. A right understanding of the American principles is aloue necessary to dis sipate the groundless objections which have been conceived against them. A thorough discussion of these principles is therefore necessary to over come the doubts, the serunles and the various a hindrances which are in the way. Those jjrinci- pk will triumph eventually, for they are the principles upon which our Government was fram ed, and upon which it rests. To be the Govern ment that it was intended to be, those principles mutt be the springs of its action pbosceiption and corruption must be banished from its de partments, and political equality and tolera tion made the order of the day. These are the objects which the American Party will strive to accomplish, and upon this issue they will stand or fall! - .: Viboinia Axesicak Convrittiow. The State Convention of the American party in Virginia, held in Lynchburg, adjourned tit die on Satur day evening last. Resolutions fully endorsing the Philadelphia platform, particularly the sec tion relating to slavery, and recommending to the American party in Virginia an opeu organi zation, were unanimously adopted. The Conven tion, affirmed that the 8th section of the Philadel phia platform is not intended to exclude a citizen from political station on account of his religious faith, unless paramount allegiance to a foreign potentate be reserved. Resolutions, recommend ing that the nominations for the President and Vice President of the Uuited States, should be postponed to a period not later than the 1st of iuue ; that an American Mass Meeting be held in Richmond on the 81st inst.; and that Conventions be held in each Congressional district for the pur pose of sending delegates to the National Conven tion, were adopted. The following, however, is the platform entire: Resolved, That this Convention cordially adopts the platform of the American party promulgated at Philadelphia in June last. Kestdved that the eighth section of the Phila delphia Platform is not intended, in the opinion of this Convention, to exclude auy citizen trom public station on account of his religious faith except such as may have reserved a paramount allegiance to a foreign potentate. The Business Committee then proposed the following resolutions for the consideration of the Convention : 1. Resolved, That in the 12th section of the Philadelphia Platform, we recognise a true, na tional and constitutional adjustment of the vexed question of slavery and we pledge the American party of V irgiuia to an uuyiehling resistance to any change or modification in the substance or spirit of that section. 2. Kesolved, that in the opinion or this Con vention a nomination by the American party of candidates for President and Vice President of the United States should be postponed to a pe riod not later than the first of June. 8. Resolved, That the wholesale proscription recommended by the organs of the Democratic party of this State, of more than half of the na tive born citizens of Virginia, deserves the most decided reprobation of every honest and patriotic citizen. That the hypocritical reason assigned for this proscription, viz ; the charge of proscription against the American party, is an insult to an intelligent people. That such a charge comes with a bad grace from a party which has always proscribed its po litical opponents, and which disfranchised nearly half the freemen of this btate by a system ot fraudulent legislative gerrymandering nnparral leled in party legislation. 4. Resolved, That in vindication of public mor rality, and the necessity for the formation of a new party, we hereby recommend a rigid inves tigation of the manner in which official trusts have been discharged by the Federal and State governments, and a publication of all facts de veloped thereby. 5. Resolved," That the open interference of the Federal government in the recent election in Vir ginia deserves the indignant reprobation of every good citizen. 6. Resolved, As the judgment of this Conven tion, that all ceremonies of initiation into the American party should be discontinued and all obligations of secresy remove! that its meet ings should be open and public, and its proceed ings conducted in accordance with the ordinary usages of political bodies and that we invite the co-operation of all good men, who approve tue principles and objects of the party. . rat ..l x a : .1 7. ttesotvea. inai wis committee recojnmeuu to the Convention the appointment of a commit tee of three, whose duty it shall be to prepare and publish an address to the public of Virgiuia, set ting forth the principles of the American party, in accordance with the principles of the Platform, and the resolutions adopted by the Convention at its present session. ... ... . The first five resolutions and the seventn were adopted unanimously, and without discussion. The sixth, after debate, was also adopted witn al most entire unanimity. Under the 2th resolution, the Convention ap nointed the following committee: Richard G. Morriss, President; W. M. Burwell, A. J.Crane, R. Ridswav. After adopting the following resolution, tne Convention adjourned aim die. Resolved, That this Convention recommend to the American oartv of Virginia, an open and complete organization of the party in each coun ty in the btate. , . Tennessee Election The vote is the largest ever cast in the State exceeding that given in 1853 by 8,260: The anti-American vote exceeds that given, for Johnson in 1853 by 4,078; the American vote exceeds that given to Henry in 1853 bv 4.182. Colonel Gentry gained on the Whig majority of " ' PREMATURE JOY. ' ' 5 " The victory achieved by the Defn'otract is a glorious one. Our enp of joy is full to the brim, and woum He running over, had not a tew li leuda been defeated whom we .had hoped W seeelected. Some of them have only fallen behuid a few votes, which might easily have been overcome. " The majority in the Legislature, however.1 will be large enough for practical purposes. They will have .the con trol of both Hoases, and will .elect, a State Treas urer and United States Senator. , When "the smoke of the battle disappears, we wiTl take a general snrvey of the field." So says the Harrisburg " Union " of the elec tion held a fortnight ago in enhsvlvunia. But the " National Intelligencer" thinks that enough is already known to show that, although the De mocrats now have the prestige of victory and ma terials for the present jubilation, they are build ing their future bopes npon a rather Unsubstan tial foundation. It is scarcely worth while again to enumerate the causes which have given them this apparent triumph. It is sufficient to- say, that besides the positive aid they derive! froni the absurd mingling of the liquor nd abolition Issues, this peculiarity hi the contest induced thousands of Whigs to remain passive and-keep aloof from the pedis. ; -. ' ; An analyzation of the returns shows that the whole vote of the State at the late electiou Was 61,240 less than iii 1852, and 45,983 less than in 1854. Tliis sluws conclnsi rely that thfs election cannot be relied upon as a test of strength of parties in Pennsylvania upon national politics. The election of Mr. Plumer as Canal Commission er, so far from showing a Democratic gairt, ex hibits an absolute loss, even if it were preten led (as it is not) that he received none other than Democratic votes Here is a comparison of his vote with that given for the Democratic candi date last year: ' For Gov. Bigler, 1854, 107,001 For Mr. Plumer, 1855, 101,281 Democratic loss, 6,720 Then, if we compare the vote for Mr. Plunier with the combined opposition vote, it shows him to be in a minority : For Mr. Nicholson, Scattering, alout For Mr. Plumer, 149,745 14,000 lr.3.745 101,281 2,401 Majority against Plnmer, The vote at the Presidential election iu 1852 a- momitcd to 38fi.2(J6 ; this year it onlv reaches 325,02fi; showing that at least 61,240 voters did' not this year exercise their right of suffrage. The vote for Gen. Scott in 1862 was 179,174, and that for Mr. Hale 8,524. These together make 187,098 votes. The numlier cast for Mr. Plumer this year is only 101,281. whieh shows a deficit of 26,417 votes. From these facts it is evident that when all the side issues are dispensed with, and the Presi dential candidates are presented ujkmi tle tests which apply to a regular Democrat and a sound constitutional Whig, the frmer must rally from 25,000 to 30,000 votes to secure a victory. JThe new ism Free Loce Lim which has but recently come to light has, it se-ms, been growing in seclusion and secrecy for the last two years. Originating in New York, that hot-bed of corrupt isms, it planted itself iu the new State of Wisconsin, where it has a nourishing colttuy. Worse, so far as we understand it, than Mormon ism or Mahometanism, it yet bears a resemblance to both. It appeals to the passions of the young by holding out the prospect of unlimited indul gence, teaching the while that such indulgence instead ot being sin I til is but a part ot maus duty. How successful it has bceu, in enticing the young of both sexes, is plainly shown by the long accounts of the meetings of these societies, which liave lately appeared in the New York pa pers. Among the visiters to these free love gath erings were young women of beauty and cultiva tion, both married and single. Their principles undermined by the cunning teachings of the per nicious founders of the order, their imaginations interested by the new and poetical theory of passional attraction," and their passions stimu lated by an unusual freedom of intercourse, they recklessly threw aside all that they had learned of morality, religion, and decency, and cast them selves pell nicli into that den of vice, where gross aoixtite is called heavenly inspiration, and tlie sacred ties of matrimonial life are laughed to scorn ! . - What an infinite amount of corruption and de moralization may be caused by such, doctrines, such assemblies, and such practices, may be read ily guessed. All such orders or societies are but the natural offspring of that false philosophy of which the New York Tribune is the chief ex- -pounder and advocate. This "Free -Love-rism" is but another phase of Woman rightism, Aboli- i'RACT FROM THE . w i .- if - f - - AUDHLSS OF HON. THOMAS KUFFLN, Delivered hefurt the Slate Agricultural Society oj JVbrt Carolina, October IHth, 1855. "Now, it tiiay be asked, Is the agriculture of North Carolina worthy of this public patronage, and of the efforts of some of her citizens to pro mote and improve it'! I answer, Yes yes. North Carolina is eutitled to all that every one of her people Cart do to promote her prosperity and elevate her character ; and her sons will be amply remunerated for their efforts for her advantage and their own. - Our occupations are essentially agricultural, and embrace all its variety of pur suits planting, farming, breeding of live stock, and the culture of fruits Until very recently, they were almost .exclusively - agricultural, as there were natural obstacles to foreign com merce, difficult to overcome, and but few manu facturing establishments among us. In both these respects, progress has been made, and is making ; Arid there is good ground of hope, that before fortg, Heetsof our own merchantmen wjll sail from our shores, richly . ladeu with our pro ductions for sale or exchange in the ports of our sister States and foreign countries ; while facto ries of various kinds, now established in different parts of the Htate, will be multiplied beyond any present calculation that can be made, not only for the fabrication of the most useful implements of wood, iron J and other metals, but for our sup ply of those fabrics out of the great Southern staple, -cotton; which hare become indispensable. Manufactures, are already, without doubt, mate rial helps to agriculture, by diversifying employ ments, increasing the consumption at home of our crops and stocks, and supplying on the spot, and wit hoi it delay many articles needful to the planter add farmer. Iu time, they will become a more distinct, productive, and influential item in our political economy,- but never, I think, as the rival 6r foe of our agriculture, but as a faith ful friend arid servant. As ! yet, however, the cultivation of, the earth is the great ami produc tive business jf North Carolina. It has made us hitherto a thriving and happy rural people. We are still sd ; ahd it will make ns still more so, as it becomes improved and more productive. Why should, not tlie agriculturo of North Carolina be as improveahle and improved, and her sons, en gaged in it, as prsperous and happy, as those of any other parts of mir country ? No reason of weight can be given in the negative, if we will but strive : for (improvement. Everything is in our favor,; if we will make the effort and use the proper means '; and of that every one may le satisfied, if" he will observe and reflect on what is around hifn.' ; The profits and the comforts of agriculture de pend mainly ou climate, soil, labor, and the facili ties for disposing of surpluses of production. The two first, climate and soil, should be congenial to products requisite ftr the sustenance of tlie hus haiidiiian liinnself, and iu demand for others who caunot produce for themselves. In both points North Carolina is highly blessed. In her position on the globe she occupies that temperate and hap py mean,',whjeh is conducive to health and the vigorous exertion of tlie faculties and energies of bodv and -mind, iu employments tending more than all others to the hospitalities and charities of life and the other virtues of the heart, and which constitutes a?climate, that, in unison with her fertile sod, yields abundantly to the diligent tiller nearly all the -necessaries and many of the luxu ries required by man. We do uot work barely to maintain life ; but, beyond that, to realise grains that may he 'emjdoyed in. the addition of other things productive of the elevation and refinement of civilized mui. Our winters, by their duration and rigor, do .not cuiifine us loug within doors, nor cause us to consume the productions of our labor during jhe other parts of the year ; but we are able to prosecute our field operations and com fortably pursue our productive employments throughout the four seasons. Though not of such extent of latitude as thereby to create much variety of climate, and consequently of produc tion ; yet, the dimensions of North Carolina east and west supply that deficiency in a remarkable degree, i The proximity to the ocean of her eas tern coast, and the difference in elevation between that and the mountains of the west.Jwith the grada tions in -the intermediate regions, produces a di versity 4f genial climate which gives to North (Janjlrna, in herself, the advantages of many coun ties conjointly. liy nature, too, her soil is as diversified and as excellent as her climate. The rich alltlvial of the east, the extended and extreme ly fertile vallies of the many loug streams the Hoanoke, the Tar, the Neuse, the Cape Fear, the Yadkin and Pedee, the Catawba, and other rivers, which appear .upon our map, besides those of smaller streams, almost numberless, all,atamod erattvxjpens of care and labor, retnrn large yields of nearly every gram and other production nt tor food. Rice., maize, wheat, rye, barley, oats, the pea, the potatoe of each kind, besides an endless variety; of other sorts, vegetables, and fruits, are fonnd abundantly therein j while higher up the country, in addition, the grasses grow so readily and luxuriantly as to afford not little plots ou the moist bottoms of brooks, but extensive pastures and magnificent meadows to the mountain tops. sTIien, there are the great articles of cot ton and tobacco, so extensively used and in such great and increasing demand to one or to the tiai farm houses, with' orchards and every other thing tbatjean make her beautiful in our eyes and fasten our affections on her. True, the soil is mat what it once was, and our. task is not merely to preserve fertility, but in a great degree to restore that which has been more or less exhausted. We must not blame our ancestors too hastily or too severely for the system under which the rich vegetable loam they found here was so used up. The labors and hardships of settling a wild coun try leave but little opportunity for more than preparing for cultivation and cropping such parts of the land as are absolutely necessary for main taining the colony. Land was in plenty tim ber an incumbrance, and labor scarce and costly ; so that, in reality, it was cheaper, and the sound er economy in them, to bring new fields with their exceeding superficial fertility into culture, rather than manure those which they had reduced by imperfect tillage and scoutging cropping. Throughout America the land suffered by the ex hausting operations of the settlers and their de scendants for several generations ; but that can only (to on to a certain extent, and then it-must stop. 'When getting to be so reduced as not to pay for cultivation, necessity forbids a further re duction of the soil, and then the process of re generation begins. At first it proceeds slowly ; but every degree of improvement furnishes means for still grear, and accordingly it increases its pace, and by improved culture; manures, rota tion of crops, and the like, it ends in a produc tiveness beyond its original capacity. If not to the lowest, certainly to a very low, condition, much of the land iu the State had been brought ; and the time came, when, if im provement was ever to be made, it would be com menced. I use the expression, "the time came," instead of "has come," because it is a joyful fact, that some persons in various parts of the State, many in some parts, have improved, and con tinua to improve their lands and increase their crops profiting much therefrom in their fortunes and setting the rest of us examples by which we ought also to profit. We have all heard for some years past, that the era of improvement had begun in the great aud wealthy county of Edgecombe ; and I leanl from unquestionable sources, that the intelligent and enterprising plan ters of that county have been rewarded by signal success. I do not propose hi enter into a de tail of their system, further than to say, that it consists chielly iu draining by ditches and em bankments, making and applying composts, the use of guano and plaster of Paris, and the field pea as an ameliorating crop, as well as food for stock. I advise every one, however, who has the opportunity, by minute enquiries to obtain from those, who have put this system iuto use,-detailed information respecting it; and I feel no hesitation in preferring a request to the planters of Edgecombe, as public-spirited gen tlemen, to communicate through our agricultural periodicals, the history of their improvements, aud their experiments as well those in which they failed as those in which they succeeded, with all other matters which may be useful to their brethren in ther sections. In other parts of the country, with which I am more intimately acquainted, much improvement has been maue, to my own knowledge. Ut the counties ranging along our-uortheru border, from Warreu to Stokes, inclusive, I have had, for about fifty years, considerable knowledge. That was the principal region of the tobacco culture. Ac cording to the course of that culture, wherever it prevailed in our early annals, the country was cut down rapidly, cropped mercilessly with a view to quantity rather tliau quality, theu put into com, and exhausted quickly and almost entire!'. When I first knew it, and for a loug time after wards, there were abounding evidences of former fertility, aud existing and sorrowful sterility, Com aud tobacco and oats, were almost the onlj crops. But little wheat and no cultivated grasses were to be seen in the country. Warren aud Granville bought the little flour they used from Orange wagons. Large tracts were disfigured by galls and frightful gullies, turned out as "old tiehls," with broomstraw and old-field pines for their only vesture, instead of their stately primi tive forests, or rich crops for the use of man. This is a sad picture, but it is a true one ; ami there was more fact than figure iu the saying by mauy, whose work of destruction rendered that region so desolate, and who then abandoned it, that it was "old and worn out." Happily, some thought its eonditiou not so hopeless, and, cher ishing their attachment for the spots of their na tivity, within these few years since the time of river navigation and railroads began set aliout repairing the ravages of former days. Do you suppose they were content with less crops, aud therefore that they cultivated less land than be fore, leaving a larger area to natural recovery by rest? That was not their course. They did n give up the culture of tobacco,but greatly increas ed it, and com also ; aud they added to their rota tion, wheat, when so much more easily and cheap ly carried to market. But they greatly increased the collection and application of manures from the stables, ami the cattle yards, with considerable ad ditiousof the concentrated manures obtained from abroad, and protected the land from washing by ju dicious hill-side trenching and n wre thorough plow ing. Tlie result lias been, that many old-fields have leeu reclaimed -and brought into cultivation, the lands generally much increased in fertility, and of course, iu actual aud market value in the like pro portion, while the production has, probably, dou- BY LAST NTOHTS MAIL !

There is no record of a dearth approaching famine, where the prin cipal prop was maize, as it is here. Our climate and soil are so congenial to the other cereals, that a failure of that crop from an unpropitious sea son is. necessarily perceived in time to provide the others, of some of them, as a substitute. Such is North Carolina! Here she is, and let any man say, who cap, whether she be not in everything as Bhe has now been held up to him. Then;, why should any leave her?

Maria Armstrong (27). oEdgartown, New Jersey, suffered mora than most people from indigestion, accompanied by liver complaint. Several very clever mvdical men told her she was in a consumption, and her friends despaired of her ever recovering, as she had tried every thing they thought likely to benefit her, without success. At last she tried Hollo way's Pills, which qnickly assimilated with the Mood, removed the obnoxious matter, and tho roughly cleansed and renovated the system. The result is that she was perfectly cured, and now enjoys the best of health. These Pills are also a certain cure for all diseases of the stomach and bowels.
