.'It nregitlar meeting of the National Coun
cil of the American Party, begun and held
at Philadelphia, on the 5th of June, Jl. D.
1855, the following was adopted as the
Platform and Principles of the Organiza
tion
I. The acknowledgment of that Al
iniffhiv tei n!f who rules over the Universe,
. w ho presides over the councils of nations,
whoVonducts the affairs of men, and who,
in every step hy which we have advanced
to the. diameter of an independent nation,
has distinguished us hy some token of pro
vidential agency. . -
II. - The cultivation and development of
a 'sentiment of profoundly intense Ameri
can feeling ; of passionate attachment to
mfr country, its history and its institutions;
of admiration for the purer days of our na
tional existence; of veneration for the 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
these United States as the paramount po
litical; trood ; or, to use the lantruanre of
Washington, " the primary object of pat
riotic desire.' '
1st. Opposition to all attempts to weak
en or subvert it.
2d. Uncompromising antagonism to everv
principle of policy that endangers it.
3d. The advocacy of an equitable ad
ustment of all political differences which
threaten its integrity or perpetuity.
4i h. The suppression of all tendencies
to political division, founded on "geo
graphical discriminations, or. on the belief
i bat there is a real difference of interests
rind views" between the various sections
of the Union.
5th. t The full recognition of the rights of
the several States, as expressed a,nd reserv
ed iiithe Constitution; and a careful avoid
ance, by the General Government, of all
interference with their rights, bv legislative
or executive action.
IV.- Obedience to the Constitution of
these United States, as the supreme law of
the hind, sue redly obligatory. -upon all its
parts and members;' and steadfast resistance
t the spirit of innovation upon its princi
ples, however specious the pretexts. A
vowing that in all doubtful or disputed points
it may only be legally ascertained and ex
pounded by the judicial power of the Uuit
ct! States.
And, as a eorollory to the above :
1. A habit of reverential obediece to the
laws, whether National, or Municipal, un
til thev are either renenled or doelnreil un
constitutional by the proper authority.- .
2. A tender and sacred; regard for those
arts of statesmanship which are to be con
tradistinguished from' acts of ordinary leg
islation, by the fact of their being of the
nature of compacts and agreements; and
s?f, to'be considered a fixed ami settled na
tional policy.
V. A radical revision and modification
' 'of the hnvs regulating immigration, and the
settlement of immigrants. 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 bur shores of felons
and paupers. .
VI. The essential modification' of the
Naturalization Laws. ;
The repeal by the Legislatures of the re
spective Statesof all State laws allowing
1Jreigners not naturalized to vote.
The repeal, without retroactive operation,
01 all acts of Congress making grants of
land to unnaturalized foreigners, and allow
. i'lg them to vote in the Territories.
II. Hostility to the corrupt means by
. hich the leaders of party have hitherto
reed upon us our rulers and our, political
J-ds.
Implacable enmity against the prevalent
demoralizing system of rewards for political
ubseryiency, and of punishments for po
hiieal independence.
Disgust for the wild' hunt after office
which characterizes the ajre. ' ?
i nese on the one hand. On the other.:
mutation, of the practice of the purer days !
' the Reniihlif . rl iI
naxim that " office should seek the man,
aTd not man the office," and of the rule,
mat the just mode of ascertaining "fitness
or office is the capability, the I faithfulness,
and the honesty of the incumberit or cari-

ey and corrupting tendencies' of the'. Roman
uatnoiic inurcn m; our country, by tne ad-
vancement to all political stations execu
tive, legislative, judicial, or diplomatic, pf
those only who do not hold civil allegiance,
directly or indirectly, to any foreign poAyer
whether civil or ecclesiastical, and who -are-Americans
by birth, education, and. trainin
ing thus fulfilling the maxim: 'American's' 1
ONLY SHALL GOVERN AMERICA." .-
The -protection of all citizens in the legal
and proper exercise of their civil and relig- i
ious rights and privileges; the maintenance
of the right of every man to the full, unre
strained and peaceful enjoyment of his, own
religiOuopinions and worship,and a jealous
resistance of all attempts by any sect, de
nomination or church, to obtain an asden- ,
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 civilMlegiance with 1
any foreign power, potentate, or eccle"sias-".i
tic. ; ". '" - - j ' i
IX. The reformation of 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 of executive patron
age, especially in the matter of appoint
ments to office, so far as it , may be permit--ted
by the Constitution, and consistent with
the public, good. '
XL The education of the youth "of our
country in schools provided by the State
which schools shall be common to all, with
out distinction of creed or party, and free
from any influence or direction oi a uenom-
inational or partizan character.
2nd, inasmuch as Christianity, by. the
Constitutions of 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
liible is at once the source of Christianity,
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 the
opposition of the Whij' mid Democratic
parties, cannot be in any manner responsi
ble for the obnoxious acts" of violated pledges
of either. And the systematic agitation of J
the slavery question by thoee parties, hav- j
ing elevated sectional hostility into a posi
tive element of political power, and brought
our institution into peril, it has, 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 to 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 guaran
tee of common justice and of future peace,
to abide1 by and maintain the existing laws
upon the.stibject of slavery, as a final and
conclusive settlement of that subject in
spirit and in substance. .
And regarding it the highest duty to avow
their opinions, upon a subject so important,
in 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 pretermitting any
expression of opinion upon the power in
Congress to establish or prohibit slavery in
any 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 with
slavery as it exists in the District of Col-!
umbia, would be a violation of the spirit,
and intention of the compact by which the
State of Maryland ceded the District to the
United States, and a breach of the national
faith." . i
XIII. The policy of the Governmen of
the United States, in its relations with
foreign governments, is to exact justice from
the strongest, and do justice to the weak
etst ; restraining, by all the power of the
government, all its citizens from, interfer
ence with the internal concerns of nations
with whom we are at peace

From the Louisville Journal.
One of the best known and most respect
able citizens of Jefferson county informs us
that while some ofthe houses were 'burning
m the layer part of the city, he stood m the
yard oi a house near by. An American wo-
m.an, an Jrish woman of middle age and an
Irish girli about eighteen -or nineteen' years
old, were very near him. The- Irish girl
stood in silence, but was evidently, .fierce
and excited.. The American woman made
a'rcmarkj'to the effect that the . Irish were
in fault arid had better go away. The Irish
girl, unable to restrain herself longer; said
fiercely, hh if we had the, help-, that was
promised ms, we would have inhaled them.
Our informant rebuked her for the remark,
and the elder Irish woman said to her, the
gentleman is right ; our countrymen have
brought this upon - themselves, and the only
pity is, that the, iaocent have to suffer with
the guilty. From.-this,. -it,. is evident that
the determination and preparation of the
Irish to bring on a fight and shed the blood
of the Americans, were so open andnoti
nous as
men and

the Irish eirls. And it armears too.

promises!? For what reason were. they not
kept ? ; Will these . questions -ever, be an

Now look at the revelations made by the
Irish females. Here was an Irish girl 'who
proclaimed that her countrymen had -been

The Great Principles" 'and Laws of the
- "Papal Church. " ' " -""'
From the canon law "of" the Roniaii
Church we extract the following cfogmas
arid-doctrines. They have been sanction
ed by 4he decrees of Councils, the bulls
of If opes, and the teachings ofthe "Ho
ly. Fathers,-'? and they are acknowledged
by every good Catholic, no matter under
what government he may live.
Most of these dogmas are mtronsistent
democracy and republicanism, and if al
lowed to domineer in a free country,'
will soon check the growth of untram
rneled opinions and undermine the fouri-;
dation pf republicanism. ' We" ask the
asspecial "attention of our .Southern,
friends to these articles. Ex.'::' ; " '.

PETTy.PEOSCRIPTIOII.
e tialle'd aUerition last week to the pro- .
siptiv character of the anti-American
f"j .luiiiinisimuim rs u:-

ally? ; Since then we have' been informed
lot a petty case vhich
occurred in our neigh -
m w mw
rn1g towmof Char ote, a short time ago,
,011 the;hod:carHers hi Washington city; -
It appears that an old man,- who has been
serying in the capacityof Watchma, at .
the INIint, forfifteeri years, under difTerent
administrations, stately incurred the hot dis
pleasure of the "pwer.tflat be ;" arid im
mediately the decree,' oiff with his head"
went forth.- Np sooner said than dorie-
the decree was skillfully andv expeditiously
executed; iiThe lpoor " Watchman' ' was
laconically, notified that his - service would
be dispensed with.. . - r" r . . , '
- X.e understand . he had always been at
tentive to his duties and faithfully discharg
ed every triit confided to him. --. " :,
j Not a word 6f complaint was 'whispered
against him, np'charge of derilictiort of duty,
nor was his integrity, in the slightest de
gTeef iriipeached. . Why then was he rc-
J moved aye,' that's the1 question? Simp
ly-. because: he kept the key ot his. own
thoughts arid was unwilling to allow Pierce,
Forney; and John Hughes; through their
agents, to dictate, to him what sentiments
be should entertain. " He was a native Amer
ican by birth arid in principle; this was the
" head arid: front of his oflenduig!- We
lcarri he did not even vote at the ef tion ;
but the very 1, idea that a man holding the
high position of "Watchman, (ye goils ami
little fishes,' what "a mark,) in the U. S.
Branch Mint, at Charlotte, should have the
independence: andaudaeity to think that
" Americans - should rle America,' could
not be brooked by , the Pierce dynasty. .
J What right had he to think at all, unless
he would think with Pierce and Pope Pius
the ninth'! What ? allow a "Watchman" .
to think ! The jdea is rediculous -no such
absurd privilege is permitted by the present
tyrariical -administration; A Watchman
think " indeed ! - As well talk of a Russian
serf enjoying such a privilege.4 - :
; But seriously, if this is not a perfect bur
lesque upon proscription and the .counterfeit
presentment ofthe exercise of riower, we do.
not know what is.. . ; .. .
,:'x It reminds one of shooting a sparrow with
a Paxhairi gnn or t ...
" Ocean into tempest tost.
-To waft a feather or drown a fly-."
But the opportunity is small and the ma
terial scarce in this State, for exhibiting the
power of the administration and elucidating
its cardinal principles, " to the victors be
long the spoils," no freedom of thought in
government officials.'' " .; .
Something, however, had to be donej in
the way of proscription, as a warning to the
refractory : some victim had to be sacrificed
and none could Jbe found but a poor watch
man. '.Sentence was passed ; and the go
vernment officials, as valiantly as the
" wrathful- dove or most magnanimous
mouse,'! pounced upon him. ":

GREAT DISTRIJCTI0N OF WHEAT.
Yesteray morning a portion of the
floor in the fifth story of the large new
brick lumber houses adjoining the mill
of MessersHaxall and Brother, which
was heavily laden with wheat, gave way,
and falling with great force on the fourth
floor burst through it; and then through
the third, second and first, the weight ac
cumulating as the mass descended, until
reaching the main vwater wheel,, which
was. also , crushed , and hundreds of bush
els of the grain poured directly into the j
river. Fortunately, no lives - were lost
by this te'rrible accide'nt, though there j
were a large number ot men at work in
the lumber house , at the time, one . of
whom was in the fifth story and barely j
made his 'escape;, : The accident occurred
at the vest end of the-Jhuilding where
the span of the girders were about twenty-five,
feet, and; were the largest amoui.
of wheat has been deposited by the ele
vators. When we reached the scene,
some half an hour after the break down,
the wheat was then pouring in one solid ;
stream into the river, v What, the loss of
the Messers Haxall will be, it is now im
possible to estimate, but those gentle
men who are most likely, to form cor
rect opinions on the subject,! not think !
that it can fall short pfgl0,000 and many
incline to the opinionthat it will reach
I $20,000. As soon as the head water in
the .canal "could " be drawn off laborers '
were set. to work recovering the wheat :
from the river," which, though yet dam- j
aged may 5 be used for some purposes. -
