The ereat Sanhedrim of the fun terrified as- scrableJ in this City on Wednesday last and ad journed en Thursday- afternoon. There were about 43 counties represented, in person ami by proxy, loeofoco estimate,) by some 140 dele- It will be seen, therefore, that despite the con fident predictions ofthe Iocofoco press to the con trary, the late glorious Convention ofthe Ameri can party at Greensboro' surpassed, in every re spect, the recent assemblage of spoilsmen here. Taking the respective demonstrations as an in dication of coming events, ur friends have every reasou to enter, tipon the canvass with -the cer tain" assurance that victory is before them. The Conventin .was presided over by Jesse G. Shepherd, Esq., of Cumberland, assisted by eight Vice-Presidents. - . The praam t Executive was, of course, re-nomi nated, and appeared before the Convention, to signify his willingness to be beaten. The following gentlemen, much to the chagrin and disappointment of various other aspirants for the distinction, were appointed Delegates to the Sag-Nicht CunTentKm,tp be held at Cincinnati, in Junevix: "Y.

Fuller, of Cumberland, Dr. Copeland, of Northampton, and Sidney Smith of Orange. A brilliant list" of orators, truly ! and moat bril liant were their efforts. Meteoric flashes, and poiufurerer ! Of the Platform laid down, we shall doubtless hare much to say hereafter. As yet we have not seen it. The Convention adjourned on Thursday after noon. Previous to adjournment, the number in attendance had dwindled down to a mere hand ful of forejgn. patriots. . FILLMORE IN NEW YORK. The Albany Statesmen tells us that almost un iversally is it the fjet tSat wherever the Ameri can ware over-borne in the late elections in New Yrk, it was " effected by the united force of .Democrat and Republicans ! It adds the bl lowiag cheering news : To the cIoe observer, the fact is as apparent as the unclouded sun at noon-day, that the Ameri can Party will carry the Empire State next fall. Thrreais uo earthly puwer that can prevent its having a large plurafty, if not clear majority, in the State.- lo nobody is this so apparent as t the Republicans and Democrats. While to them it is a fact, disheartening and chilling, to Americana it is full of hope and well calculated to inspire confidence and renewed energy for the good cause." JtO? The " Standard " need give itself no un easiness as to Mr. Gilmer's positions upon the Currency or with respect to any other question of public interest. They will be made known in due time. Mr. Gilmeb Las no equivocation or prevarication about him. lie speaks, his views opaoly, frankly and fearleealy. In thia particu lar he presents a mot favorable contrast "to the 1-cofoco Duminee for Governor, as the records of the canvass of 1854 will testify! Does not the Standard " remember the remarkable dodging throughout that campaign, of Got. Bao,apoD the subject ftf Jiemal Impntemenitf I the Ironiintt n.on In 'the American lrtV. for what they are pleased to term our 4-vue prin ciple," they have Ii'bfteiiVTsd fr.ra time to tiuia J)j their wn great men. In a Funrth of July oration, delivered at Lancuter, l'a.,iu 1815, tbe Hon. Jainea Buchanau uttered 'tbese senti ment : . Above we ought to drive fnni our shores foreign iud'if nee. aud cherish American feeling. Foreign influence bu Leen in every at"e the cursev of Kepublics. It jaundiced eye sees everything in false col. .rs. The thbk atm phere of prejudice by Lich it is ever surrounded excludes from its eight the lL;ht of reason." ' Mr. Buchanan tsiut have Lrre Itad allusion to that foreipi infiuenoe which is always present among us in the R'man Church, over which for eigners alroe are allowed to preside. . That kind of forc-tgii iuiiueuce is cerUin'y in a fair whv to , prove the enrse of this Republic, a-l lUe rtoii is, U-cause there d notappear to be courage enough' among n a tire-born Catliolks to induce them t9 make an efT rt to subdue it. The. eyes of those foreitn:ers are certainly jaundiced, and prejudice" against liberal institutions, of Uth - pvJitical and religious nature, is their pre dominating principle, and jxution, too. Mr. IWhauau's sentiment above quoted will make an excellent motto for American journals, and we recommend hat they 1 kept before the peopje. If the Democratic advocates of thi gentleman's nomination to the Presidency had been informed of the strong native principle cherished by him in his younger days, then wc. must congratulate them on turning good natives, and advise them to give up the contest for their frieud, jsnd rally to the support of the American nominee. ItT The American party dead ! Look where yon will, you will find it alive, active and buoy ant unfaltering in its march, and resolved in its purpose It has spread its banner the banner ofthe nation to the winds and under its folds it will coutinue to do battle until it shall finally triumph. It falters not: it quails not but pur sues its onward progress, confident in the prre- ness of its aim, and the certaiuty of its success. Foreigners and Americau trait rs may long to see it in its expiring throes; 'but they will be dis appointed. Tbe spirit which gave it birth will con tinue to animate it, until it shall have.placcd its representAtives in power in North Carolina and det-troyed all foreign influence in theNatin. It is woi.derful to us, how any native ofthe soil, or any naturalized ci izen who desires to uphold the honor arid the interests of the country, carv array themselves against a party which is Contending for its natural right, and fo- the happiucs of the whole American family but, in all natious, there are factions which seek the downfall of order and law, and wish to deliver the control of public af fairs into the hands of those who will reward their meanness and subserviency and, unfor tunately, such men exist in the United States. They would sell their birth-right "for a mess of pottage." In such men patriotism is extinct, and the public interest are ol no account. They fix their yes upon the spoils, and forget their obli gations to God and their country. But the mas se of American citizens aro sound to the core. They follow in the footsteps of their fathers, and will maiutain the independence and iutegrity of the nation, cost what it may. J ust men compose the American party ; and to suppose that they cau.be fiually defeated, would be to doubt the justice of IVovidence, and the wiL in awd cour age of man. Let the editors of the foreign faction c utiuue to boast that tho American party is dead. They will discover their mistake at the approuching elections, and will lament their blindness when it is too late. They may count upon acces sions from the Whig ranks, but no WLig will join them who is worthy to bear the name Jl is not possible that the friends of Henry Chy will unite with his worst euemivs to break down, the American party. They cannot attach them selves to the remnant of the Democratic party without dishonoring the memory of their great leader, and falsifying the principles which he and they professed. They cannot, they will not do it ; but will coutinue to uphold the cause of the country a cause to which his whole life was ardently devoted. Ma. Fiixmohe wiu. Accept. We omitted in our last to state that John U. Uacchtok, Esq., in his address tefore the Greensboro' Convention, stated that in a conversation he had bad with the Hon. J. P. Kenned ythat morning, that gentleman had assured him that Mr. Fillmore would accept the nomination of the party, for President. Mr, Kennedy is one of the confidential friends of Mr. Fillmore, is believed to be authorized to speak for bim, aud therefore this statement may be considered a settliug the question, as regards his acceptance or declination of the nomination. Mr. Kennedy happened to pasi through Greens borough on Thursday, on Lis way to Columbia. lo?" We supiKWie it is true that the American State Council of Wisconsin has repudiated the nominations of Fillmore and De nelson; but, when it is recollected that half of her population are Irih and Germans, and the other half aboli tionists, no other course could have been expec ted. Wisconsin, moreover, is a very small State, and r illmore and Donelson are National men in the broadest acceptation of the term. j t& A writer in the Lexington Flag preditts that John A. Gilmer will, receive-in Furyear's District alone 1,600 more rotes than Gen; Dock ery got. We have no doubt of it. Throughout that entire section of country his , name is a household word. Th ArrKOACHiso Eclipse. Next Sunday night, or rather Monday moruing, there will -be a partial eclipse ofthe moon, commencing at 2.33, and lasting about three hours. It occurs at a time when the owls may enjoy it, auoT those watchmen who happen to be awake. - Jtfy.The Waalunjrton Union, the oreat of President Pierce, and tLe acknowledged organ of the Democracy, is edited by A. O: P ' Nichol son, formerly of Tennessee, who was an active and prominent memler of the National Damo crati Convention that nominated Pierce, land coucocted Jhe Democratic Platform of 185-5. Tle Union is, therefore, good authority, in any matter pertaining either to the Convention or the platform. No candid, intelligent man ever doubted, that the Democratic Platform of $852 was framed with the express view of avoiding any approval or disapproval of the compromise measures of 1850; yet few, if any, supposed that one of the framers, (the editor of the Wash ington Union,) would boldly declare that such was the object of the builders. In an editorial in tbe Union, Mr. Nicholson says : If the Baltimore Tlatform had expressly ap proved or disapproved of the Compromise the nnjinee would have met with certain defeal.' This is making a clean Lrcast of the matter. It is a bold avowal, that thn platform was so framed as to cater and bid for the frecsoil teup- port of the North and the support of the flisu- j hiouibia of the South, and- the friends of the Compromise everywhere. What an acknowledg ment ? and what a commentary upon the sincer ity of a party, which claims to be the national party, par excellence, and the only! true frjendi of the Constitution and the people! After is .ch an avowal of the character and objects of the De mocratic Platform of 1852, which the Democrats of the South told the people was all. that tbe South could desire, what must be thought df the cool impudence of the leaders and organs of the party, who are now prating so loudly about plat forms ; and who affect such a holy horror of the American platform ! We hope the reader will not forget the admis sion of the Union, as it will enable him td pro perly appreciate the value and true character of Democratic platforms generally, and of (bat of 1852 in particular American Muting ik New Hanover. The Americana of Wilmington had a spirited rally on Tuesday evening last. Dr. John L. Menrcs was choseu President of the Fillmore and Doue'.eon Club, and the meeting was addressed by a num ber of gentlemen. Though our friends there were disappointed in the non-stlrction of their favorite, tLey have thus indicated a determina tion to enter upou the contest with as hearty a zeal as if they had secured tht-ir preference. Bt?" One of the most cheering signs if the times (says the West Tennessee Whig) is the in terest now being taken by the youfig men of the country in behalf of Fillmore and Don e'.s-m. Iu every successful canvass the active service must be performed by young men ; old ioeu "wiH do to counsel young men for labor. Geh. Harrison was elected in 1840 principally by the intrepidi ty and zeal of the young men of the country ; so with General Taylor in 1843 ; and so w ill it Le with Fillmore iu 185G. THE CONVENTION. Perhaps there never assembled a convention in North Carolina, where" the number of delegates were greater, where there was m re intellect in the aggregate, or more enthusiasm, and where better feeli-g and more harmouy prevailed, than that which met in Grec-nsboro' on Thursday morning, and adjourned sine die, on Friday even ing. Many delegates from various counties came in after the meeting of the convention, whogo names do not appear in the proceedings. It was a proud day for the American party of North Gtrolina, for they met in the cause of their coun try they met to ratify, in the names of the con servative, Union-loving aud patriotic men of North Carolina, the nomination of the American party f this great Union f.r President ami Vice President, and also to present to the peuple cf the State, for the office of Governor, a man true, j faithful and patriotic and well and bravely j have they done their work I FlLLMOKE DoNELSOX GlLMER. These are the names that the honest patriot freemen of the old North State, are asked to deposit in the ballot-box in August and Novem- ler next. Will they do it? We say they will. Ought they not, bya large majority, to do it ? And if not, why? Are they deficient in quali fications, experience, or integrity: or are they wanting in statesmanship, conservatism, or love for this glorious Union? 2V, no." They are men ! meu that any party organization, or any portion of the country, might justly boast of. They are Americans by birth and feeling, by im- !ulse and action, iu heart and soul : and there ore, we believe the great mass of the people will rally to their support, regardless of whatmay be said by old party hacks, subsidized presses, or lying editorial squibs. And while wo suppose tbe Standard at Raleigh that papal, anti-American Organ, will lead off in its assaults doubt less coarse, vulgar, and untrue upon John A. Gilmer, yet, when we consider the great service Mr. Gilmer has rendered tho State, the sterling integrity of his character, his fidelity as a friend, his high moral character, and his big-hearted liberality, and his marked abifity, we con fess" we are at a loai to conjecture the point and manner of attack of the aforesaid .un scrupulous foreign journal. But as truth and fairness are the ejtception, and falsehood and slan der tbe rule of that paper, of course we miy look out for smething,that no honest man will be lieve, and that ho honorable man can approbate : which will be kept up with increasing virulence until Mr. Gilmer shall be triumphantly elected in August next. Next, we shall hear from Hol den's subs all over, the state : for "the little dosrs aud all Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart," will bark. Well, let them bark ; .we think the American cause will triumph, and that a brilliant victory awaits us: but whether we succeed or fail whether Gilmer or Bragg be elected, we mean to stick to the truth, expose falsehood, and combat error: in a word, we mean to be found on the side of our country we mean to strike for the right, and to urge the claims of men, who, if suc cessful, will le most likely to advance and pro- t mote sucn measures ami principles, as shall re sult in the permanent good, and general pros perity of the whole country, and, who wjll love aud cherish this Union as it was loved and cherished by George Washington j Lexington Flag. Hon. urr Wilson) who has been a leading Democrat in Alabama for many years, (says the American Organ) has announced his intention to support Fillmore and Donelson. Our advices from the northern counties of Alabama are ot the most encouraging charaoter. ACCEPTANCE OF.MAJOR DO NELSON. .? PHilPEUSiA, jFeW2G, 1856. j . To Hon. Akdbew J". Dokelson.

J accept the posi tion assigned me by the American party, with a just sense, I trust, of the responsibility belong ing to it. I attended the convention with noex pectation that su:h an honor aiwaited me, and if my qwn feelings and wishes jcould have been consulted, it would have fallen! upon some other member of the Americau party, in whose ranks are so many distinguished individuals, better known to the coimtry ami better prepared by experience for the high duties of the statiwu, should the voice of the people.be in accord with that of which you are the organ oh this occasion. But acting upon the maxim left us by the great men of the earlier days of the republic, that puTlic office should be neither jsougbf nor declin ed, I yield to the judgment of those who have thought that my name might' be of service in advancing the important objects which consti tute the American party. j . Our leading idea is that the two old parties, Democratic and Whig, have ceased to exert their former healthful influence in the management of the public interest, and that, without the inter vention of reti.nns w inch they can never effect, the beloved Cui tirution and Union, bequeathed to us by our forefathers, will not long be pre served. For the riiost of the evils, with which we are threatened at the present period, the administra tion of President Pierce is evidently responsible ; but in.-tead of finding his party engaged in the prosecution of measures to av-rt the dangers he has brought upon the land, we see it more active tlian ever in scattering the seeds of sectional strife and social anarchy; j. When Gen. Jackson came into the Presidency, he acknowledged iu the inaugural address the obligation of the Executive tcj restrain the pa't- ronage of the Federal Govej-nment, so that it j net cut down all they encountered and d'isper's should not be brought into conflict with the free- j iim or taking prisoners the remainder. oom oi elections, jsut motlenijiemocracy stands in direct antagonism to this" Lbligatiou. There is .scarcely an election 'preciact in the United States which has not witnessed the most sliame ful interference with elections by the agents of the Federal Government acti ig in the name of Democ-acy. In former times, when parties were created by patriotic and national seutiihents, upon mea sures of general interest to iiie whole country, we never heard that a lueasurti could be declared Democratic in one place, and 'not Democratic in another,-by leading men professing to belorg'to this party. Yet we see this inormity exhibited daily by the party press in the pay of the pres ent executive The necessary re-suit of such corruption, if not successfully opposed, must bq to destroy all po-. huwi iiwiaii, aim o lominuc power in un- faithful and incompetent hands by the mere in - fluenre ofthe money derived from the taxes ... . 1 . . . . . " which are paid by the people for far different j purposes. It is. undername that the antagonism now prevaiiiup iwtween the orth and the South is mainly attributed tio the political arti-! fice which has enabled men holding directly op- ' posite opinions on tne power ot Congress over j Presideticy. the institution of slavery, in the Territories, but j The California Sonate had rejected the resolu yet professing to Ixdong to the same Democratic 1 tion condemnatory of the election of Banks Dass- . .. TU 1 T- L ..J . .i ' l . .i ii ; party. Ihe .Nebraska-Kansas act is constant! v called by one portiou 5f Dennjicrats, a law which will enable the South to carry slavery to .the Territories. By the same fallacy, secession, nul lification, abolition, and all other isms have found a shelter under the flag of Dejrioeracy, explained as it is by modern interpreter. In former times, also, our best patriots, without distinction of party, spoke Of the necessity of guarding tho ballot-box from jthe dangers of for eign induence and of keepiilg separate the Church and State ; and of the advantage to be derived from a frequent recurrence to the earlier advice of our Fathers, which inculcated a reverence for the compacts of the constitution, and the absti nence from whatever tendedjto form geographi cal parties or arra3' one section of the Union against another. Now, however, the whole pow er o the Federal Governmeni is brought to bear against any individual who has the independence t declare his attachment to these old-fashioned sentiments. Whole classes of men stand pro scribed and ostracised for no! other offence than that of joiuing an association ; which seeks only to correct the excesses of party spirit, and to restore the government to the purity it possessed when we received it from the hands o( those sages who founded and reformed it. j - Looking, gentlemen, upon ;the American par ty as destine 1 to eradicate the evils to which I have thus bristly adverted, j am proud, to be called one of" its members, and ean only regret that in selcctinc its flan-bearers, the choice for tho V ice President had hot fallen uponeme who j could brine to the cause higher guarantees for its success man can oe urawn irom tne uumbie ser- vices I have heretofore rendered my country Thanking you again for tho kin i manner in which you have expressed your personal gratifi cation at the nominations.
