At a Convention of the American party, held at Raleigh, on tlie 10th of October, 1855, the following resolutions were adopt ed. Resolved,, That, as the'eauses which ren--dered the secrecy of the American organi .zation necessary iu ts infancy, no longer exist all the secret cermonials of the or der whether of initiation, obligations, signs, constitutions, rituals, or passwords be abol ished that we do constitute ourselves into a publicly organrzed party that we do chal lenge our opponents to the public discuss ion of our principles and we do hereby invite aild invoke the aid and co-operation of all the citizens of the State, -without re gard to their former political affiliations, in maintaining and carrying out the great a;ni3 principles and objects of the American par ty.

Secondly, Resistance to religious intoler ance, and a rigid maintanance of the great principle of religious freedom by exclud ing from office and power, those who would persecute Tor opinion's sake, who would control the politics of the country through Church influences or priestly interference; and who acknowledge an allegiance to any power On earth, whether civil or ecclesias tical, as paramount to that which they owe to the Constitution. And, Thirdly, unswerving devotion to the Union of these States, and resistance to all factions and sectional attempts to weaken its oonas. Resolved, That in all nominations for po litical station here after to be made by the American Party, sitirecommended rfatlhe same 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 recognized as members of the American party. Resolved, That it be recommended to .the American Party in this State to hold a Con vention of delegates, to be appointed in pub lic primary meetings in the respective coun ties, in Greensboro,' qji Thursday the 10th day of April next, for the purpose of nomi nating a candidate to be run by the Amer ican party for Governor at the next election that each county appoint as many Del egates as it chooses, and that the mode of voting in said convention be regulated by the convention itself. Resolved, That we consider the 22d day of TVhnnrv npvt tbn timf hfrptnfnrr sp. lected by the National Council of the Amer- 1 ican order, for the nomination of candidates ! for President and Vice-President, as too j early a day for that purpose, and we do hereby recommend to our breathren of the-1 A,0,; .i u tt: .1.. S "i.HLdu pai t.iiuuyiiuui uiu vjuioii, ine propriety of postponing the holding of said convention, to some time in the month of June or July. Resolved, However, lest such postpone ment may not take place, it is deemed ad-' visable to appoint two delegates to represent the State at large in such nominating Con- vention, and it is recommended to the A-'j tnet to bold primary meetings in the respec- J live counties, and appoint delegates to l)is- trict Conventions, for the selection of to ' delegate from each respective District a said nominating Convention. " i Jiesolved, That an Executive Cential Xs general cnllJ lu. , ! this State, to carry on the necessary cox- ponrtehce, and uke such -incsotive atens uke such inceptive steps as may be deemed necessarv ifor .the mora thorough organization of the sjjid. exeeutir cunimuiee pe autnorizea and requested to appoint a Uonnty Executive Cbnimitted for each County in the States aid that said Connty Executive Committee Ao further ap-" point a sub-committee for eacH eTectfon pre-' cmct in the county with a vieW to a more thorough and complete Organization of the American party in North Carolina. , T-ROM THIT NATIONAL IXTELLIGENCER. : "Who in Responsible J ?' . The country has -waited over a month' for the House of Representatives to organs ize and proceed to business, they hare waited in vain, and prospects seenvto grow more gloomy. Now the question recurs who is responsible net who is to blame, for perhaps none are, Hit whb is responsi- ble for the non-organization and the regu lar proceedings of Government ? -We "an swer, the Administration. What? with a majority against them in the House, and yet responsible ! . Yes; an Adrninstratibn always is responsible for carrying on-the' Government; and nothing but an organized factions opposition in the majority, who refuse lo proceed to do anything, can exon erate an Ajdminialration from responsibility." An Adminstration can not fold; its arms and say to the opposition in Congress, unite and carry on the Government ; or, rather, enable us to do it without our own aid.- But their seems to be two Opposition par ties, who, neither agree with each other, nor with the Administration, or form seperately a majority. Can the Adminis tration, then, throw off all responsibility because .they have not a majority ? They are responsible for an organization, and if they are unable to bring other sectiojrs to them upon one man, or a smgle principlfiior platform, they must go to another section, or unite with another portion, or adopt an other candidate, principle or platform. And if,after every honorable effort, they fail,they are bound to take what they may deem the least of two evils, and go over to one or the other section for the purpose of organiza- tio:i ; or clse to give up the Government, as unable to -carry it on. This would be the case with an English Upr,ose- the triangular fight is continued nntil the session terminates, without an ap propriation bill passed or an act done to sustain the Government, will the Adminis tration be exonerated ? Can they evade responsibility by repeating "Richardson 72 Banks' 101, Fuller 30?" But why Richard son 72, and he only ? Is their no man who could receive more votes than he ? After the Administration were defeated before the people upon the Kansas-Nebraska issue, was it a mere cunning devise to evade4he responsibility of a non-organization to pro pose for Speaker the very man who carried that obnoxious measure through the House, and who, of course, could not recieve a sin gle vote from any section of the opposition? i x Or was it a matter of shrewd statemanship to compel the opposition to recognise the Kansas measure after the people had con demned it ? The choice of th candidate and the caucus platform would seem to in dicate the latter; and the strict adherence thus far looks like an avowel of Richardson and Kansas, or no organization, no Gov ernment. Now are the administration will ing to put themselves upon that point, and to stick to it to the better end, without change, adjourn Congress and go home, leaving the Government without resources, and in a state of anarchy? If so, the soon er it is avowed and adopted the better. Il will save expense and give the people time for consideration. X. Y. Z. FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA ARGUS. Fayetteville and tnc West. Mr. Argus: Please permit me through the chimns of your useful paper to say a few words respecting your ancient town. Can Fayetteville expect her share of the traie of th'e interior without a strong effort? rrr . , , a- e think it is useless to take the affirmative side of the question. t - Any one who is at air familiar Vith the country bordering on the Central Railroad must be aware of how much business is carried out of the State by that improve ment, both into South Carolina and Virgin- ia. In fact the road wilh.almost entirely drain the upper part of our State. Do the inhabitants of Western -North Carolina wish for this state of things ? Most assuredly not. Every one with whom I have talked on the subject was in favor 0f tradiug1 with Fayetteville : if equal facil- j iiies were-iven for getting the products of I the Slate to that market ; but-il isin accor- fdanceith the laws of trade that a customer will seek what he considers th K?st market: will seek what he considers tlis .st market: TtVhat is to tie done I c Will the citizens. of i Fayetteville permit their trade to lan- t . dUH, more every aay: cr wnj. they lant like,- make jevery :jusf and hon orable' effort' to raise th'eif town iothe prop-' 6r commercial position to which she Isueh4 tiUei -" ?aHr?! l- hinlc their'is'lHtlei aoubt but that her people will do their duty- when they arc thoroughly convinced that is. : - - ' what Now what isthat duty ? ; Beforejanswer ing this, question Ut us take a look at "what fs the position ol things to the west of hs. . At no distant day there wil be western extension of the North Carolina fell' Road from' Salisbury.', ' The Yadkin River will .also .be made navigable from Wilkesboro' lo the, Narrows several miles belQw where vtnai lulu yjayji tiuascs nit; j. uuivin.

Let them do this, and they can com pete and very successfully, too for the trade that may'' be brought-to that";point both by the River improvement,and the western end of the Railroad. If in addition to this they will make the river as deep as possible from Fayetteville to -Wilmington. Your town -will tnen be able to distance a ny of herinland competitors in the race for trade and wealth. If these things are neg lected much -longer,. Fayetteville will ere long-becoale a Yours, N. C. The liaclirj niosc and tUe Joyful. The official journal, ;the Union," seems to have two voices in reference to the travail of the House ot Representatives m produc ing a Speaker. Its first tone is one -of des pondency, It discourses in this wise : "Worn out with talking, " worn out "With eeiminations ' and recriminations, worn out with statements and counterstatements, the majority changed front to day by undertak ing to test the virtue of pertinacious ballot ting, in the vain hope that something wonld turn up. : Ballot after ballot was taken, the Banks vote now coming up to and falling from the old mark,l)ut not to an extent to inspire hope on the one side or exciie sus picion on the other. After a fatiguing ses sion of six hours the House adjourned with the general conviction that the prOspect of a speedy organization was as gloomy as ever. The unsuspicious reader would infer from this paragraph that the oracle of the Dem ocratic party was saddened at heart and greatly scandalized at the ' pertinacious", spirit of those who prevent an election. But listen now to the spirit-stirring appeals with which it stimulates the Democracy to " stand firm and fast," Hear its advice to the faithful, who, it says, "came to. Con gress to do their duty according to their principles : " Tiie Democracy Stand Firm. The Democratic phalanx in the House of Repre sentatives stand firm and fasti There is no wavering. On Friday evening another cau cus 'was called, and was attended by a ma jority of the Democratic members, and there, after, a full and harmonious inter change of opinions, they unanimously deci ded as follows : M V Resolved, that we will adhere to our platform and our nominee." . This is the sentiment of the Democracy of the Union. Everywhere the firm and united and united action of i the Democrats is aplaudad, and the slightest faltering now - would mortify the noblest party that ever existed in any country.- Let the answer be to all propo sals from our opponents that of Paul Jones, in one of his conflicts, when asked if he hatl surrendered ; and truly may we use his words in view of the great issues and contests upon which we are only entering, 'surrender,' said the hero, never, T The battle lias only begun .'' " The minority of the House, . according to the command here given, must show no signs, of " wavering." The "slightest falt ering" would "mortify." The sage advis er in this case seems to forget that if his counsels are judicious for a minority, they must be equally so for a larger number : and'Hhat if it is noble and patriotic for a band of seventy-five to hold out it must be equally sO for th forty or one hundred to do so. The song cf the syren never sang so sweetly. . The public business is sus pended ; and a 'month of the session is past; the President's Message, unfolding, the "state of, the nation," is kept bark from the people, , But all thjs fades into signifi-i cance in the eyes of the Government jour nal when compared with the sublime patn- i otism of the.

It is all very well; but he ought to ave explained why he took so much pains being a pro-slavery manto prostrate the Hards in New York. , South. Carolina is one of the States that cannot be deceived by this gross fraud. She speaks through the Charlestown Mercury as follows: 4 "It seems that Mr. Cox, a member from Kentucky, was cruel enough to compel Northern Democrats to the confession up on the Nebraska Kansas bill, and the prin ciples upon which it was defended at the North. He calls up Democratic members from Michigan, and makes them give damn ing testimony against Messrs. Cass and Douglas. He summons also the Ohio and Pennsylvania Democracy to the same pur pose. They unite in testifying that Dem ocrats at the North advocate the Kansas Nebraska bill, not on the grounds of " pop ular sovereignty," not as a measure of jus tice and quietus to slavery agitation, but as ." the best Abolition measure ever passed," and the surest step in consummation of its 'final objects. Such is the Democracy of the North", as uC:red by their own lips ; -and we in the South are invokeu temohmd nay, more, to ertrust our destiny to the keeping of men who tell us that the very test we propose of faithfulness to us is the argument" with which they demonstrate their deep hostility. Fanaticism demands practical proofs of their devotion to its cause,, andright cheerfully they point to the Nebraska-Kansas, bill? One might nearly be lieve of them, what Mr. Orr, in a burst of patriotic indignation, said in 1850 of the whole North, "they are more hostile tous than any foreign nation on the globe." Now, we ask, is it with such a party that the . people of South Carolina will consent to go into Convention ? Presidential elec- tions, one after another, have gone by; and, distrustful of Northern affiliations, acting upon the highest convictions of principle, she has abstained from these National cau cuses ; and now, when Abolition has poi soned to its core the Northern heart, and the Northern Democratic party publishes its hostility and faithlessness to us, in terms clear and unmistakeable, we are called on to abandon our policy, and make common cause with them in the greedy pursuit of place and power. Verily, the spectacle is stiange and startling." So far- from regarding the Democratic members in Congress as not answerable Tor "the existing state of things," we Jook up on them as the most censurable of the three divisions in the House. Our reason fortius opinion is this: the Democrats make a sup port of and acquiescence in the Kansas Ne braska bill as the test of political orthodoxy. They refuse to recognize, as of the Demo cratic party, those with whom they once associated in most loving fraternization who do not subscribe to this test. Now, those members of the House -the American fa tj011 wh0 support Fuller, are willing to ac cept the test--are willing to abide by the existing laws touching all the slavery issues, and have so declared themselves. Nay more, they have expressed a willingness to set aside their own candidate, and vote for an acceptable Democrat, upon the condition that they shall not be required to repudiate their political principles. But no: this is not enough for the Democrats. They de mand that the American party -shall forswear their principles. They refuse an alliance based upon the Nebraska-Kansas bill, their own test of political soundness, and insist that -the Americans shall renounce their dis tinctive principles, once more assume the livery of Democracy and vote for Richard son. In short, ihey ask of the Americans impossible things, impose impossible con ditions, other than their own test, such as no man of honesty and principle can submit to. In this way they have prevented an al liance and as a consequence preventea the election of a Speaker, when they have had and do still have it in their power to effect an organization ..by making a very slight concession. If they will rescind that part of the resolution adopted in their nominat ing caucus, which denounces, the Americans as enemies of civil and religious liberty, and offer a candidate more acceptable and sound er than Richardson, they may organize the House at" once, and proceed to transact the public buisness.,; But they pertinaciously rolustt to do either of these two things". In w - -J. . , pursuance of the. advice of Col. Orr, they will not yield an iota. Hence, we say the Democrats are the most censurable of the three factions, for the existing -.state, of things."! . And we cannot see why .it is they are so well satisfied and contented; , Mr. Bright on the United States.' At a public meeting, of the Marden" Me- ??'.-lnt' atIanchester, Eng land, on the; 14th ! December, Mr. Bright M, P .i inhecqurse of a. speech, deprecat ing the war said : " . v!'5Jn ?f7Q? have relatives or friends in .p!ca That young natioii'has a popu H?0?11 fqwal to ours in these islands: . hasja great internal and external Jcom-; mercer.

It has institutions, more free than we have--heslayery of the ikmth excepted--andwhicri is no Tniit of -its institutions, But an unhappy legacy "6f the Jastl y It has also a great manufacturing interest in different branches. This is the young giant whose shadow eyer grows, and there is, the true ri val of this country. How do we stand or start in the race? The United States gov ernment,' including all the governments' of hall the sovereign States, raises in the taxes probably 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 ster ling in the year. England this, year will raise, in taxes and loans, and will expend, nearly 100,000,000. This population must raise, and will spend, probably, - 80,000,000 within the year, more than that population will raise, and in America there is far less poverty and pauperism than in England. Can we run this race on these terms and a gainst these odds? Can we hope to be as well off as America, if the products of our industry are thus swept away by the tax gatherer, and in the vain scheme of saving Europe from imaginary dangers ? Can pov erty be lessened among us, can education spread, can the brutality of so many of our population.be uprooted can all or anything Jof ornod men look for come to us while the fruits of our industry, the foundation of all social and moral good, are squandered in tljis manner? Pursue the phantom of military glory for ten years, and expend in that time a sum equal to all the visible prop erty of Lancashire and Yorkshire, and then compare yourselves with the United States of America, and where will you be ? Pau perism, crime and political anarchy, are the legacies we are preparing for our children, and there is no escape for us unless we change our course, and resolve to discon nect ourselves from the policy which tends incessantly to embroil us with the nations of the continent of Europe." The Democratic Candidate for Speaker. AVe have been puzzled for three weeks and baffled in all our attempts to discover the true secret of unparalled devotion of the Democracy in Washington to Gen. Rich ardson. Caucesses have been held time and again, and he has been nominated oyer with an increased vehemence, and held up asdlie only man in the Amerscan Congress fitntrj preside over its deliberations. The House might remain unorganized, public af fairs wholly neglected, the peculiar Rights of the South, which they profess to champi on, be compromised, and a scandle on free institutions difused throughout the world, but they would submit to no other election! What unmentionable something is it, what wonderful property pertains to him, by which he binds the great Democracy to him by hooks of steel? Some have attempted to solve the mystery by reference to Gen. Richardson's defence of the Nebraska bill at home, on the ground that it was a measure of freedom designed for the destruction of slavery. Of a somewhat similar character is the conjecture of the New Orleans Cre scent, which gives extracts from a speech of his in 1850, in which he avowed himself for Squatter Sovereignity and claimed that all the territory acquired from Mexico was free by the laws of nations and nature We give the extract : "The territories," said he, "are free now and will forever remain free ; they are free by the law of nations; they are free by the law of nature ; they will remain free, from cause to which I have already referred. , This should satisfy all, in my judgement who are opposed to the extension of slave ry' And again': "I do not, and cannot believe, 'that our Constitution carries and protects slavery, except in the States ; nor do oeueve inai u sriyuiu ccicm iotw,i, believe that it was formed for far higher and nohler purpose." Mr. Fillmore. At a recent meeving of the American County Convention of Monroe, New York, the following resolution was adopted:-- . Resolved.
