On the tenth ballot, John M. Read, of Phila delphia, was nominated for the former oflice. Read is a Black Republican of the rankest kind. Tie was a Democrat until his love for Sambo smothered his Democracy, when he thought it best to read 1 unself out of tlie white man s party and joiifthr.t which sympathized with him in his adoration of the IW-.TCO. lie never was a\V: ;g never an American—but always a until 'ike marry other weak-minded members ot our ; artv, the sweet-smelling savor of negro philism filled his nostrils anil intoxicated his brain. He is a second WTLMOT, lacking only the intellect of tlie illustrious Free Trader.— The Democracy of Pennsylvania will take great pleasure in consigning him to that politi cal Hades whither they havealready sent Fre mont an i WTlmot and other ambitious and re bellious spirits of that ilk. The candidate presented by the Americans, for this nomination, was Judge Oswald Thomp son, of Philadelphia. His national principles, however, did not suit this sectional Convention, and therefore, although Philadelphia had unan imously instructed foi him, he was sacrificed and the Black Republican, Read, whom the Americans of Philadelphia had refused to en dorse, was placed upon the ticket in bis stead. Thus were the Americans "sold out" in the nomination for Supreme Judge. WILLIAM E. FRAZER, of Fayette, was nom inated for Canal Commissioner, on the first bal lot. He is also a Black Republican, ("r.til 1554-, he belonged to the Democracy, but was led astray, about that time, by the ignis falnus of the Dark Lantern. Since his desertion from the Democratic ranks, he has been "everything by turns and nothing long." At present, how ever, he is in full communion with the Aboli tionists. A politician that is green enough to go he-tore the people with a record like that of WILLIAM E. F RA'/ER, will surely he nipped by a Frost on the second Tuesday of October. I'LATFORAI OF THE "MULATTOS." The Convention of party fag-ends which met nt Hariisburg ort the 11th mst., adopted a set of lesoJutions, the preamble to which reads as follows "This Convention representing the freemen of Pennsylvania who are opposed to the leading measures of the National Administration, most especially those which seek to stitle the voice, and ignore the rights of a laige majority of the citizens ot Kansas : and those which have pros trated the industry of the country, and are fast driving our Government into national bankrupt cy, do hereby deciaie and resolve," From this it would set rr that the Convention did not succeed in finding a name for the patty which it represented. Was it that the isms which day by day creep ini. the Opposition faith, have become so numerous that no name could be found to express ttuir complicated and contradictory theories f or was it because tlie men who composed this Convention have changed their political names so often that they were ashamed to add another title to the many which they have already disgraced ? But then, "What's in a name ? That which we cail a" nigger, "By any other name would smel! as sweet" to the olfactories of Abolitionists, and that winch "we call tiie "cohesive power of public .plunder" will make certain demagogues oppose the "leading measures of the National Adminis tration" and keep them shedding crocodile tears about the "rights of the citizens of Kansas," though their party for very shame mu.-t be nameless. It will be noted that in the preamble quoted above, there is especial reference made to Blee ding Kansas, the hobby of the Black Republi cans, \\ hilst there is not the slightest allusion to the principle-, of the Americans. Nor is there tn the resolutions which follow and which atleci to set forth the views I the Convention, any mention made of the peculiar doctrines of that party. The dogma that "Americans should rule America, that sonorous watch-word of the followers oi Sam. is not even hinted t The high tariff theory, a well known article in the American creed, is entirely ignored and in its place the revenue system of the Democracy fully and unequivocally endorsed. Thus has this Convention given the "cold shoulder to Americanism and scornfully and insultingly passed it by. Bevond what we have already commented upon, there is nothing in this platform of the "Mulattos" worth talking about. The Nation al Administration is denounced,of course, but even that is not done as well as would be ex t>eetei! of men who have had as much practice in that kind of business as those composing the Convention. There is also a resolution endor sing the course of Senator Simon Cameron, which we presume was passed at the instance of the delegate from this county, MR. FR. JORDAN. | as that genti -man has always had such a high ! regard for the sai i Simon. ONLY TWO PARTIES. The leaders of the Know N >thing party in this State, have forsaken their principles, bro ken up their organization and joined the Black Republicans. Consequently there* are now but two ; urties in existence. The one is tiie j great National Democratic Party, whose Atlan -1 tan shoulders luv ■ upborne the weight of Government tor half a century, the other is ; that nameless party which under the leadership of Abolitionists lias combined in one discordant mass all the "rag-tag and bob-tail" of politics and whose only object seems to be the eieva ii ;n of the n- gro to an equality with the white ! man. i'here an- hundreds of men in B dford county —we refii to tb - -who supported Isaac lid/it hiiist last rail— v\ i,.i !,ave declared, time and airain, that if the i- wen- between the i Democracy and the Black R-publicans, they : would act with the former, in onp Ttion to the i latter. They have an opportunity, now, to ver i ify their declarations. The issue is now be j tween Democracy and Black Republicanism between Nationality and that infamous politi cal monstrosity whose expounders want an "Anti-slavery Constitution, an Anti-slavery Bible and an Anti-slavery God:" The four hundred Tlazlehurst men in fis is county, will have to take sides in (tie contest that is about to be waged in this State. Will they desert their national principles and a dopt the sectional dogmas of their political anti podes, the Black Republicans, or will they act c nsistently and carry out their oft repeated declarations by connecting themselves with the only national party now in existence? Death of Leu. Quitman. | A true patriot, able statesman, gallant sol dier, and noble gentleman, says the Philadel phia .irguSy has gone to his last home. Gene ral John Anthony Quitman died on Saturday last, at his residence near Natchez, Mississippi, as we are informed by the telegraph. Few pub lic men have left so pure and honorable a rep putation behind them. His high and enviable character, the honesty of his sentiments, and j the firmness of his conduct, compelled adinira | tion ami respect even from those who differed i from him widest in opinion; naturally positive j in his convictions and decisive in his actions : he was, nevertheless, amenable to reason, al | ways guided by justice, and never deficient in courtesy. On his tomb may be carved, with - out the hand of one honest man, we trimly be lieve, to erase the record : Here lies "A Pa triot, a Hero, a Statesman, and a Gentleman." General Quitman was the son ola Prussian clergyman, and the grandson of a distinguished Prussian General. He was born at Rhinebeck, New York,and received his education at Mount Airy, above Germantown, in Philadelphia coun ty. Not feeling inclined to the study of divini ty, for which he was intended, voun/ Quitman devoted his attention to law, and at ar< earlv age removed to the West, and sbully afterwards |to the Southwest. Having s Hied at Natchez, Mississippi, he soon met with success iu his | profession, while his intelligence a,,.1 honorable chaiacle- attiacled the attention of his f. Row citizens, and gained him much popularity. He | was repeatedly chosen to fill offices of impor tance and trust, having been at different ; Chancellor and Governor of that Aiafe. Jn 1 iG i resident Poik appointed him a Brigadier General in the army of Mexico; and ■ the eminent services u inch he rendered during that war proved that the bent ol his genius was | decidedly military. At Monterey he distin guished himself so as to attract the attention ol . the officers of both the regular and volunteer branches o! the service; but it was under Gen ; eral Scott, in the operations against the citv of I Mexico, that he proved himself a warrior and a hero. The high military skill and dauntless courage displayed by General Quitman in the a'tac K upon, ano. capture of ihe Beien Gate, has never, perhaps, been excelled in the annals of warfare. After the surrender of the Mexican capital, General Quitman, having been proir.o --• ted in the meantime to the rank of Major Gen ' eial, was appointed Governor ot the city. After the termination of Hie war, General Quitman returned to Mississippi, where he re mained in piivate life until ISof, u hen he was elected to Congress by a large majoiity. In IS.'K he was re-elected by an increased majori ty, and occupied always an influential and hon ' orable position in the House. Jn politics, Gen eral Quitman was a States-Rights' Democrat: j tar more conservative and less ultra in his views j than was usually beiiev. J. JR. was a Union j man on principle, from conviction and through j patriotism; but he was opposed to consolidation, and may have looked calmly and phiiosophical .ly to the disruption of (tie Union, not with a ; desire lor its consummation, but in certain events j as a remedy for less endurable evils. General Quitman was possessed of large for tune, and so far has left his family well off. but what can compensate to them the'loss of such a husband and father, or to his country, of such a patriot and statesman ? tmcrifiin Delegates To llio late "Mulatto" Convention. It will be remembered tliat l!ie Americans were promised a representation in the Opposi tion State Convention which met at Harrisburg on the 14-th inst. Well, with the exception of the Philadelphia delegates, there was, we be lieve, but one American in the whole body (Swoope, from Clearfield) and he together with his- Philadelphia brethren, betrayed his trust, by voting for Black Republican candidates and measures. It may, therefore, be said with truth that there was not a single Straight-out Ameri can in the Convention. Allegheny county had sent American dele gates, but they were unceremoniously kicked out. And Bedford County—how were the Americans of Bedford County represented ? Bv FR. JORDAN, the man who, as his own party say, betrayed the Fillmore men in lSofi ' By Fn. JORDAN who went to the Convention with credentials from a Black Republican meeting a meeting in which Americans had no part, nor parcel Trie American party not having been represented in this Convention, the dele gates which it sent there bar ing either been re fit ol admittance, or, if admitted, having cheat ed those who elected them —it is plain f! at the nominees have no claim whatever "to its countenance, or support.

The following extract from the preamble to a set of resolutions unanina u-!y adoj s i by (lie American Association of the Tenth Ward of Philadelphia, which we copy fiom Ihv Daily Atf-v, shows in what light the Americans of that city view the unholy alliance formed at Harrisburg on the 1 !th inst. Similar action, says the Philadelphia .-)Vl,as been taken by other Ward associations in the city : "I he experiment ol bringing together all the opponents of the Democratic party, fo: the pur pose of triumphing over thai party, has been tried. R succeeded in • lading, after its inau guration last spring, the municipal officers of'the city. The American party lias, for several . years past, stood on their platform, with candi dates pledged to its principles, aloof from all ! entangling alliances. They yielded for one -, jand for the purpose of sua believing at the | time, and were so assured, that their principles j would become paramount, and in tin end there I would be nothing but an American party to bat ! tie against Loco Focoism. How many of those ; who inaugurated the new party, miscalled the I People's party, and other Americans, have been deceived and disappointed in the result, it is impossible to enumerate. ONEOF ['HE DIS TINCTIVE FEATURES OF THE_AMERI CA X PARTY HAS BEEN .MOCKED AT AND LAUGHED TO SCORN. The cardinal principle that 'none but Americans shall rule | America,'and that Arneiicans should be pre -1 ferred to fill our cilice*, in preference to those of foreign birth, has b on set at nought, and a ma jority of those appointed to positions, are either I foreigners by birth, or their alius, opposed to Americans. "Another inducement held out to the Amoii | cans for a union of all opp. -itim, w a that a re form of the many a' , ■ whin bad prevailed under Loco Foco rule should be abated, and j that honest and true men would fill our D< - p art men', s, and < flici nt and trustworthy persons placed on the Police. Has this promised reform been effected ? All answer, No! for our D - } parlments are ofiicered by many incompetent, and our Police with inefficient and unworthy men. Such a party cannot in th- future a.-k honest or rapectabh people to vote fir their nominees." - The A it; mean Parly Sold. It is perhaps unmanlv to exult over a pros trate foe.

J OUR POLITICAL PROSRECTS.— IN Pennsylva nia as a means cf helping along their own desperate cause, the opipositiou are trving to create an impression tliat the Democratic parly is going to be defeated at the coming election. We do not think they will succeed in dampen ing the ardor of any members of our party by such talk as this. 11 is a very common "thing ■ for the opposition to predict our defeat, but it jis not so common for them to defeat us. If we | had believed them in 15.)6 we would have j abandoned the field without a contest. Aceor | ding to them, the w hole country was rising up against the Democracy. But the p-.lies told , a different story. Tiie democratic party was sustained, whilst our boasting adversaries met a rebuke that broke up their organization and sent them begging for a new party and a new name. There is nothing in the s gas of the times to j indicate disaster to the Democratic par'y, and j we warn our friends against being imposed upon iby the vain boasfing of the enemj*. We are as strong as ever, and we have but to put forth our arm to lay hold of victory. Our organiza tion is unbroken and unimpaired: the people repose their ancient faith in Hit purity of our long-tried principles, and everything points to our triumphant success on the second Tuesday j of October. -Chatnhcrsburg Pa.,) Valley Spi tit.
