ZF No discount on these rales. At a regidar meeting of the National Coun cil of the American Parti, begun and Mi I ,,t PhUndelnhut. on the 5th of June, A. D 1855, the following was aaopiea as iie Platform and Princijjtes of the Organiza tion : ' .' . 1 .'J'he acknowledgment of that Air mighty Being who rules over the Universe, who presides over the councils of nations, who conducts the affairs of men, and who, in every step by which we have advanced to the character of an independent nation, has distinguished lis by some token of pro vidential agency. - . II. The cultivation and development of a sentiment of profoundly intense Ameri can feeling ; of passionate attachment to our country, its history and Us institutions; of admiration for .the purer days of our na tional existence; of veneration for th hero ism that precipitated our Revolution; and of emulation of -the' virtue, wisdom and pat riotism .that framed .our constitution, and first successfully applied its provisions. . III. -The maintenance' of the Union of thirse United States ;is the paramount po litical good ; or,, to use the languarge of Washington, '' the primary object pat riotic desire." .

A vowing that in. all doubtful or disputed points it may only be legally ascertainetl and ex pounded by the judicial power of the Unit cd States. A id, as a corollory to tlie above : , 1. A habit of reverential obed'iece to the laws, whether National, or Municipal, un til they are either repealed or declared un constitutional by the proper authority. r 2. A tender and sacred regard for those acts of statesmanship which are to be con tradistinguished from acts of ordinary "cj tslation, by the fact of their being of the nature "of compacts and agreements; and so, to be considered a fixed and settled na tional policy. - . Y A radical revision and modification of the laws regulating immigration, and the settlement of immigrants. v Offering to the honest immigrant who, from love of liberty or hatred of oppression, seeks an assylum in the United States, a friendly) reception and protection. But unqualifiedly condemn ing the transmission to our shores of felons nid paupers. VI. The essential modification of the "Naturalization Laws. The repeal by the Legislatures of the re spective States, of all State laws allowing foreigners not naturalized to vote. The repeal, without retroactive operation, of all acts of Congress making grants of ; iatid to unnaturalized. foreigners, and allow ing them to vote in the Tferritoriej, VIT.

Resistance to the aggressive poli cy and corrupting tendencies of the Roman Catholic Church in our country, by the ad vancement to all political stations execu tive, legislative, iudicial, or diplomatic of those only who do not hold civil allegiance, directly or indirectly, to any foreign power, whether civil or ecclesiastical, and who are Americans1 by birth, education, and trainin-ing- thus fulfilling the maxim i "Americans ONLY SHALL GOVERN AMERICA." The protection of all citizens in the legal and proper exercise of their civil and relig- j ious rights and -privileges; the maintenance of the right of every man to the full, unre strained, and peaceful enjoyment of his own religious opinions and worship,and a jealous resistance of- all attempts by any sect, de nomination or church, to obtain an ascen dency over any other in the State, by means of any special privileges or exemption, by any political combination of its members, or by a division of their civil allegiance with any foreign power, potentate, or ecclesias tic. . IX. The reformation jof the character of our National Legislature, by elevating to that dignified and responsible position. men of higher qualifications, purer morals, and more' unselfish patriotism. X. The restriction ol executive patron age, especially in the matter o appoint ments to office, so far as it may le permit ted by the. Constitution, artTconsi.Stent with the public good. XI. The education of the youth - of our country in schools provided by the btate ; which schools shall be common to all, with out distinction of creed or party, and free from any influence or direction of a denom inational or partizan character. 2nd, inasmuch as Christianity, by the Constitutions oT nearly all the States ; by the decisions of the most eminent judicial authorities ; and by the consent of the peo ple of America, is considered an element of our political system; and, as the Holy Bible is at ou'ce the sourcf ofcChristiariity, and the depository and fountain of all civil and religious freedom, we oppose every attempt to exclude it from the schools thus established in the States. XII. The American party, having a risen upon the ruins and in despite of ihe opposition of the Whig and Democratic parties, cannot be iir niiv nwnner responsi ble for the obnoxious acts of Violated pledges of either. And the systematic agitation of the slavery, question by those parties, hav ing elevated sectional hostility into a posi tive element of political power, and brought our institution into peril, it lias, therefore, become the imperative duty of the Ameri can party to interpose for the purpose of giving peace to .the country and perpetuity to the Union. And, as experience has shown it impossible .tp';reconcile opinions so extreme as those; which separate the disputants; and, as! there can be no dis honor in submitting to the laws, the Nation al Council has deemed it the best guaran1 tee of common justice and of future peace, to abide bv and maintain the existing laws upon the subject of slavery, as a final and conclusive settlement ol that subject in sPirit "nd in substance. And regarding it the highest duty to avow their opinions, upon a subject so important, ,. . , i ;..,!.0,mc ; ;i,0,. ni distinct and unequivocal terms, -it- is here by declared, as the sense of this National Council, that Congress possesses no power, unde the Constitution, to legislate upon the subject of slavery in the States, where it does or may exist, or to exclude any State from admission into the Union because its constitution does or does not recognise the institution of slavery as a part of its social system ; and expressly pretermittting any expression of opinion upon the power in Congress to establish or prohibit slavery in anv Territory, it is the sense of the Nation al Council that Congress ought not to leg islate upon the subject of slavery within the Territories of the United States, and that any interference by Congress witlt slavery as it exists in the District of Col umbia, would be a -violation of the spirlh and intention of the compact by which the State of Maryland ceded the District to the United States, and a breach of the nationa aith." 'v XIII. The policy of the Governmen of the United States, in its relations with J ! foreign governments, is to exact justice from s the strongest, and do justice to the weak est; restraining, by all the power ol the government, all its citizens from interfer ence with the internal concerns of nations with-whom we are at peace. XIV. This National Council declares that 4ill the principles of the Order shall be henceforward everywhere openly avowed ; and that eaeh member shall be at liberty to make known the existence of the Order, and the fact that he himself is a member, and it recommends that there be no con ceelment of the places of meeting of sub ordinate councils.

At Vienna1 it is said that the military circles in that capital" are decidedly of opinion that the next attack of the - Allies upon Sebastopol will be successful, Tfhe Military Gazette, wnicu . has always gone great lengths m hoping and predicting for Russia, now gives its voice In favor of the besiegers. . The Odessa correspondent of this paper says, re spectihg the situation of Sebastopol: I " By our most intelligent miliatry men it is universally admitted that if .. the Allies push forward as-energetically', as they have hitherto 'done the south side of Sebastopol must in the end inevitably fall. : The garri son's heroic, self-sacrifice and contempt of death, delay, but cannot avert, the steady, if slov, progress of the besiegers, who day hy day gain ground upon them. All the vari ous reports of the French and English Journ als.about uninterrupted.: communication be tween the north and the south side, terrible epidemics which rage among the besieged, fifteen thousand sick in Sebastopol, want of provisions, and ammunition, and so on, are nothing but idle inventions. Letters from the interior of Sebastopol, dated July 22 as sure us that the connexion between north and south is unimpaired, that food and am munition tire abundant, the magazines on. the north side alone containing supplies suf ficient to serve 300,000 men for a year. The hospitals, in the days, of greatest . slauffhtr er, . have jiever contained nwe" thaiv 9,000 men. ..r'or sanitary reasons, however. Prince Gortscln'-koif hadj'ust 'given orders to remove all the sick from the hospitals irTthe northern fortr- and to take - them into the interior of the Crimea. There are on ly about one thousari d two hundred sick AaA 4dm t ill for remo val .The cholera, which is making s uch ravages among the" Allies, has never appe -er aoDe ared amonff us in. an epidemic form. At the same time it is seen that the position of the garrison on the left line of defence, from Bas tion 1 to Bas llou 5, (from the west of Caretmingr Bay to the Flagstafl", inclusive",) . will li bt long be tenable. But more than one sangiiinary struggle will probably precede its abandon ment. The defenders have resolutely de voted themselves to death, and, trui'ting in God, wait with calm expectation till their time comes. Hence the indifference, one might almost say the joviality, with which they play at cards and dice on the. bastion while shot and shell are falling around, so that as soon as one is struck down he is quietly removed, and the game without ma;e ado goes on as before. Thus after the last unsuccessfully attempted storming, Prince GortschakofT visited the bastions, asking,! " How goes it, children ?" ' "As God wills," answered the soldiers." j It is stated that the Russians in Sebasto pol are unable to destroy the werks of the sixth parallel of the Allies, and that they cannot even disccver its position, On all the other parts of the Crimea eonsiderable activity is visible. The Russians have for tified Arabat and Genitschi both on the land and the sea sides. These plaees are the key for ulterior operations of the Allies iu the Crimea and Upper Taurida. The Rus sians are said to be hard at work at the mouths of the Dnieper trying to block up the pass of the Nicolaief, where they have established an entrenched camp, with a re serve of 25,000 men. Nicolaief, indepen dently of its considerable arsenal, is the great depot of stores and provisions for the Rus sian army of the Crimea. - The Turks are busy erecting defensive works on the Danube. The mouths of the Sulina are much infested with pirates, and the merchants have claimed the protection of the Allied Powers. Differences have arisen between the commanders of the Turk ish forces and the Austrian military author ities in the Principalities. The latter have claimed to be previously informed of all the movements which the Sultan's army may intend to make. RUMORED CONDITION Ol RUSSIA. There can no longer be any doubt about the distressed condition of Russia. . It is ho longer a matter of inference or speculation what the state of things must be under an exclusion of coal, merchandise, and raw material in a country which is not inhabit ed bv a nation, but by a mass of degraded people, who depend upon toreign capivai ior the direction of their industry. - The gold and iron mining is stopped ; the. Moscow sugar refining is stopped; the very culture of the soil is stopped ; and the serfs are sent to the army because, they cannot be fed at home.

Newberne Journal, Reader's Removal A NoftTiiEHX Ann a ! Southern Cause. It appears that the ad- j ministration have two good causes or grounds ! of excusefor the removal of Governor Red- I er -a Northern and a Southern cause In -the North" it is to be understood that he was J removed for his projected but unperfected ! speculations in the lands of the Kansas half : breed Indians. This is the Northern cause. In the South it is to be urged that he was f removed because of his abominable affilia- tions with the Kansas free soil squatters I and emigration societies. This ig the South- em cause. The Albany Atlas is satisfied ; with the Northern cause the Richmond Enquirer is content with the Southern cause. Betweenvtwo horns of the dilemma there is ! a mystery.yet to be explained by. the Presi- -dent to the -Governor. Was it "the land , speculations or the niggers ?
