OPEN AMERICAN STATE CON
VENTION.—This body assembled at Har
risburg on Thursday, the 7th hist., and
organized by appointing Dr. W. .1. Bin-
KEY, of Philadelphia, President, and .Jon
WISE, of Lancaster, Secretary. A series
of resolutions, affirming the general prin
ciples of the American party, having been
adopted, the convention proceeded to nom
inate a candidate for Canal Commimioner.
Kimber Cleaver, having received a majori
ty of the votes, was declared' ths nominee.
The Convention was small.
07Now that the smoke has cleared off,
we find abundant cause for rejoicing in
the result of the Virginia election. The
full returns show that the American ticket
for Governor received a larger vote than
was ever before cast in that State; CARLILE,
13AYLY and SArrtt. three American candi•
dates for Congress, have been elected, and
the Locefoco majority hos been reduced o.
ver five thousand since the Presidential elec
tion. Mearre. Bayly and Smith wore sup
ported by the Locos, but are avowed friends
of Atnerican principles. So three cheers
for the "Old Dominion h— Tht et Ameri
can .Congresemen. the Locos badly dam
aged and awfully frightened, and major
ityreduced ever 5000 ! Pretty well done,
for Virginia.
THE SCHUYLKILL DEMOCRACY.
—The Schuylkill Demoracy is in serious
trouble, having , divided itself into two fee
tiotis, the Foreign and the Nativb born,
.with the Grizette as the organ of the former
and the Register of the latter. Week be
fore last, the Foreign wing, acting under
the leadership of the valiant Cal. Straub,
held a meeting, at whioh the Register was
read out of dm party, and the form of an
affidavit agreed upon in accordance with
whfch all candidates for nomination shall
be required to be sworn. This has litmus
id the native born pwtion of the party, and
they have accordingly called another county
meeting.
orr-Ilarnurn's Baby Show was visited
on Tuesday. the first day, by 11,867 ; on

one of the few isolated "victories," over
which the Democracy aro making themsel
ves jnbilatit, is the result of an election in
Betralo, N. Y., last week, where their can
didate for Judge was elected by a fusion
of the Locos with the S eward Whigs, by
some 260 majority. It is heralded forth
as a "splendArictory I" and they exult o
ver it seemingly with as much joy as that
manifested by them upon the occasion of the
recent "glorious tnumplt" in old democra
tic Yirginia. Now, when we consider
that the candida to of the opposition was
supported by a fusion of the old-line Dem

Rum Dtmonstrailons.
The rum pape over the State have a
great deal to say ►buut a "tremendous out
pouring of the people" on the occasion of
a grand demonstration on behalf of the
rum interests at leading, on the 4th inat.
We aro assured by the Reading Journal,
that the affair was a miserable failure.—
The day selected Was one of the annual
Fair days, when large umbers of the peo
ple are always ,in attendance; and yet the
the Journal says that not more than 250
were' in the procession :—and the greater!
part of them were rumsellers. The spec
tacle was such an nee, says the Journal,
as to cause every .friond of humanity and
good morals. to hang his head in shame
A similar demonstration took place in
Lancaster on Saturday last, which in num
bers was somewhat more imposing. A
procession, accompanied by Brass Bands,
marcted through the principal streets, un
der the command of Captain Whiskey.—
Resolutions were adopted styling the now
liquor law an "illegal" enactment,dae.—
The foreign lager beer sellers were large ly
represented—of course."
The principal muter upon these occasions,
was Mr. JACOB &PLEB, of Harrisburg.
We are sory to see him in such bad com
pany. His speech; st Lancaster, is re
ported in the Whig, and, to 'say the least,
is a singular prOduction. Evidently, his
heart is not in tho work.

Tho first, few day s of the. Convention were
spent,in discussions relating to prelimina
ry ntatters.—the
.admission of delegates,
&a., two sets of delegates having made
their appearance from Louisiana—one set
being Catholic*. It is said that the latter
wore rejected, though nothing that is pub
lished is reliable. A great deal of inter
est attaches to this Convention, and all
eyes are looking in anxious expectancy
for some re liable developments of its'
doings.
On Thursday afternoon, the 7th inst.,
at Sansom Street Hall, a grand banquet
I was given in honor of the Convention.—
' Mayor CONRAD presided, and delivered a
most eloquent and brilliant speech. KEN
NETH RAYNER, of North Carolina, RICARD,
of Md., RIDGEWAY, of Va., and others,
followed with able and happy efforts. The
whole affair is said ,to have been a mosti
brilliant one.
Oa Ilonday afternoon, the delegates
visited Carpenter's llall, where the first
Continental Congteis held its session in
1774. Out of this Hall grew the thunders
of the Revolution. The Hall was taste
fully decorated with flags rind inscriptions
on the walls. Kotberruel's celebrated pic
ture of Patrick Henry, in his speech be
fore the Virginia House of Burgesses, has
apiece in the Hall. The delegates were
welcomed by C. J. Wilbert, who was re- i
speeded to by Mr. McCall, delagate from
Key %Vest, Florida.
Great preparations are being made fora'
grand Mass Meeting on Saturday evening'
next, in Independence Square, by which
time the Platform now preparing by the
Committee will most probably be adopted
by the Convention, and ready for promul
gation. It is anticipated that there will
he an immense throng.
Thu Committee on Piatf irm, it is said, on
Tuesday made two reports—a majority and
minority report. The majority report af
! firms the existing laws upon the subject of
Slavery to be a final and conclusive settle
meat of the Slavery question ; and further
I asserts that Congress should not legislate
upon the subject of Slavery in the territor
ies, and that a refusal to admit a State in-
to the Union because of the existence of I
Slavery in said State, would be an d 'cr.)
oise of power not granted by the Constitu
tion! [low very modest and unassuming
these Slutherners are ! Well, we admire
the firmness with which they stand up;
for Southern interests. There are no
dough faces n the south.
The minority resolution is as follows :
Relaved. That the repeal of the Mid.
shod Compromise was an infraction of
! the plighted faith of the nation, and that it
, should he restored, and if efforts to that
end shall fail, Congress Should refuse to
admit any State tolerating Slavery which
shall be 4ormed out of any portion of the
Territory from which that Inititution was
exeluukd by that Compromise.
This report is sustained by an the North
ern delegates except 'those from N. York,
who, it is said, went over to the South in
a body. N. York has always had its full
share of Dough •faces, but we were not pre
pared for such whole-sale treachery as this.
We doubt the truth of the rumor.
We are anxious to avoid all unnecessary
agitation of the Slave question, and will
give in our adhesion to any honomble ad-
justinent of it ; and such we believe to be
tho feeling which nuituateg the mosses
of the American party. But should this
attempt to make the repeal of tho Magna-
ri Compromise, (embraced in the Kan
sas-Nebra.,ita bill.) the basis of such a set
tletuent, be successful—it will be a fa
tal blow to Amereanistn in the North.

a cheering ., character—indicating a 'possi

fervently hope that such will be the case.
Reinstate that measure, so dishonorably,

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE
Prrrsanno, June 11, 185:5.
After a pleasant trip along. the -line of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, I find myself quartered
at the "Perry-House,"—by-the-by , a quiet, well
conducted, and deserving house—and, accord-
Itig to promise drop you a line front the
City. So Pittsburg has been named, and ap
propriately too. Iron and Abe Iron business
I in its various inmifications_.engross.the great
bodi - Of the capital and industry of the place.
It is the Birmingham of AmeFica, its Rolling
Mills, Foundries, Neil Factories, and Machine
Shops, in extent and numbersf challenging
comparison with, any or all the cities of •the
country.. It is really amazing to one unfamil
iar with the extent of the Iron business here, to
pass through the vast establishments that line
the banks of the Allegheny. leaving out of '
view the innumerable foundries and shops scat
tered over the city, and note the gigantic scale
on which operations are conducted, With the
present prices of iron, immense fortunes must
be pouring in upon those pressing these ;
aliens. In compel! With a friend I spent the
greater part of the ay in visiting some of the
larger establishmenta, and was ot course deep
ly interestedi having witnessed the suocossive
processes in the manufacture of iron articles of
commerce, frOm the smelting of the ore to the
rolling of Bars and Sheets, the manufacture of
Nails, and other innumera ble iron products.—
There is really no department of the iron busi
ness, large or small, that is not proseented
here. A great deal of pig metal, however" is
brought here from other places, and more will
probably be brought hereafter. Not because
of any scarcity ot iron ore—that is abundant
and inexhaustible ;
but because o( the grow
ing scarcity of timber and anthracite
.coal,—
The bituminous coal is found here almost ex
clusively, and although admirably adapted for
working iron after its production from the ore,
charcoal or anthracite is necessary for the
latter purpose. The bituminous coal is found
iu vast bodies in all the hills around Pittsburg.
It burns beautifully and is better adapted fur
an open grate or stove than the anthracite, as
also for the manufacture of gas; but such
smoke as it evolves—no wonder that Pittsburg
looks so black and forbidding to the eye of the
stininger. The innumerable tlictory chinuties
throughout the city are continually belching
forth dense masses of heavy black smokeevolv
ell from the burning bitumen, which hangover
the city, impregnating the atmosphere with
its peculiar odor, and giving to all the build.
jugs and exposed objects a dingy, dirty, dusky
appearance. Long before you approach Pitts
bcrg, you become aware of its location by rea
son of the dense musses of smoke looming up
in the distance and sweep ing over the. country
for miles. You approac hit in smoke; you
lit iii smokewhile there; and leave it in
smoke. It is smoke all the time save on the
Sabbath, when the factory tires are permitted
to die out, and their huge throats cease for a
time to vomit their dark contents. Most of
the rolling mills and heavy factories are on the
western side of the city, on the Allegheny
front, and a western wind curries the smoke
and gasses of these mills and factories, as also
of those across the river, in Allegheny City,
direetly over the city proper. The consequence
of this is, everything in the city—even the li
nest buildings—is discolored, and presents a
dirty, dusky appearance. Indeed nearly all
the houses are painted some dark color, to
avoid the effect of the smoke, which is more
noticeable and repulsive on a light than on u
dark ground. Nur is this confined to external
objects. The dust and dirt finds its tray into
the parlors, and rooms, and chambers of the
houses, giving them more or less a dingy hue,
rendering it impossible to preserve a white
wall or light painting any length of time. In
deed I noticed that in nearly all the private
houses that come under my uthervation, the
prevailing style of color fur inside wu.al-work,
papering, Sc., like the external walls, is dark.
All this, with the constant ding and roar of
hammers and ch u nking machinery echo
ing through the city, is well calculated to im
press the stranger very unthvorably. And HO
does at first. But Olio soon gets accustom
ed to it, and forgets it all amid the busy, active,
restless enterprise which characterizes the bu-
. •
siness of the city, and the kindly dispositions
of the people. \fv first impressions were en.
favorithle—repulsive. But a closer view of
men and 4hings during a' very brief stay has
served to change those impressions very ma
terially.
Asiae from the various manufacturing estate
liniments, Pittsburg does nut present anything
of special striking interest to the stranger.—
The difficulties already referred to prevent
anything like extensive embellishment in hu/ild
ing, and doubtless discourages a taste fur or
namental shrubbery, and vines, and flowers,
and gardeliS; the pride and boast of othereities.
Handsome and rich dwellings you meet with,
but generally of a massive, heavy , style of ar
chitecture, not to be compared with the Anceful
structures and embellished courts that distin
guish so many of our larger towns and
cities.
One of the richest and most imposing build
ings in Pittsburg- is the retently constructed
First Presbyterian Church on Wood Street,
and the pastoral charge of Rey. Wm. M.
PA X formerly of Gettysburg,who is deserv
edly esteemed here for his, intellectual abilities
and devoted Christian character. It is built of
a yellowish sand-stone, hewn in blocks, and
with its lofty towers, and rich style of architec-
Lure presents a very imposing appearance.
Bishop O'Contier is htting up a large Cathe
dral, which is to be dedicated ilk a week or two
It is an immense pile of bricks and mortar,
an, when completed, will beit inagnificent build
ing. From appearances, however, it will re
quire a long time to complete the external
work.
On Penn street I met with a curiosity in the
shape of a Methodist Church, which at first, from
its highly ornamental style of architecture, I
took to be an Episcopal church. It is also built
of sand-stone, in gothic style, with pinacles and
a lofty steeple, from which a large bell rings
out its deep-toned invitations to worship. The
internal arrangements correspond with the ex
ternal. Richly furnished aisles and pews—a
fine organ—side-gallery for the choir—rending
desk separate from the pulpit--all in latest
style. Rev. Mr COOKMAN, a young man of
considerable ability as a pulpit orator, offici
ates.
But enough of Pittsburg. I had intended
to say a word or two in regard to the Pennsyl
vania Railroad and the operations of the Com
pany. But I find this letter already much
longer than I intended. It was a great enter
prise, the construction of that mad ; and the
Company are pushing their operations on a
gigantic scale. I passed along the entire
route by day, stopping at Altoona over night,
in order to have a view of the Alleghenies the
next day. The scenery was in some places
magnificent. In order to gain the summit
the road rises with a very heavy grade soon
after leaving Altoona, near 100 feet to the
mile, and dragged along by two powerful loco

OV . Hon. JAMES Bactoot recently deli
voted a speech* at' it Meeting in N. Yotll l , ,
upon the question of Americanism, an
tract from which Fla insert below. The
distinction drawn by Mr. Brooks is an im
portant one, and is worthy of the (topsider
ation of all refloating minds. 'There are
many persons who look upon the Ameri
can movement lib au illiberal and unjustifi
able one, merely because they tiooot com
prehend the distinction made between the
politics and the religion of the Catholic
church.
"I make war, and I am sure you make
war, upon no man's religion. (Cries of
.no no.") VI hat care you or I what a man
thinks before his God of transubstantia
tion, or the immaculate conception, or
any of these technicalities of religious pro
fession, provided he abjures his allegiance,
as has been said before this evening. to
all foreign powers, spiritual or temporal ?
W hat carehyou for what he thinks of the
Virgin Mary ? What care you if he has
his religious profession in Latin instead of
n Anglo Saxon English? What care you
what he thinks of transubstantiation
(a laugh.) It is not, then, to the Roman
Catholic religion that you and I are oppo
sed—it is not to the religion of the for
eigner who comes here, but it it is to his
temporal and spiritual allegiance to a for
eign power from which we require his
heartfelt abjuration. (Clieers.)A 11 the
othet religious bodies have abjured that
allegiance. The Episcopaliatts--Irom
whom sprang they but from the church of
England ? From whom was their organ
ization but from some Archbishop of Cali
terbury,. three thousand miles across the

Declaration of Independence. they abjur
ed all temporal and spiritual allegiance,
and established their own bishops and
archbishops upon American soil, the cre
ation of their own American people.—
(Cheers.) The abjuration
,of temporal
allegiance, we are often told, though in
credulously noon our part, exists on the
part of the Roman Cdibolie.s.. It is not
enough that a man is indepepdent in the
goods and chides of the world that lii,
may possess ;it is necessary that he
should be independent in body, in spirit,
and in mind also. Whenever the Rn-,
man Catholics of our country, adhering
faithfully to their religion—for their reli
gion is better than no religion, in my
judgement and °linden—whenever they
will abjure all sorts of allegiance whatever
10 the loreigit dominion of the Pope of
Rome, and to the hiearelly of Rome—an
its spirtual and temporal subjugation—
they will have dune what the Methodists
have dune, what the Episeoptilians have
dime, what the followers of Luther and
Calvin have done—they will have dune
in 1855, what other religious, bodies did
sixty or seventy years ago. (Cheers.,)—

then, the imputation that any of us mike

We make war only with the foreign gm,.

foreign to our institutions, that ought

(Cheers.) Let the Irish and German peo
ple understand that if they are independent
temporally and spiritually of any foreign
power, no leave whatever they may
think of irannubstantiation, of Latin mas
ses, of the Virgin Mary, and of the Im
maculate Conception, as matters between
them and their God, with wish we have
nothing whatever to do in our political
actions. (Cries of "good," and cheers.)
I require one thing more, and that is the
re-introduction of the Holy Bible into the
free Schools of the State. (renewed and
protracted cheering.) I make no profes

GRAIN TUE WIEsT.—.A letter from
Bureau County, Illinois. says that 911 the
warehouses along the railroad are full of
grain, and many thousands of borne's are
piled up in bags along aide of the track.—
Long tram.; of cars groan under the weight
id grain with which they aro loaded.—
The farmers plead with the buyers for
more bags, and the buyers with the rail- '
roads for more ears. All the farmers
have planted from one to thirty acres
more than last year, and all now looks
well fur a heavy crop.

they have seen rit, to dolor the partition of the
gifts, which was fixed for the 2.lth inst., to the
oth of July, as will be seen by reference to
,their proceedings, published below. I assure
you that the postponement is as vexatious to
me as it is to those who, have riurcliased tick
ets. I therefore hope that each and every ono
now interested, will co=operate with me in the
effort to dispose, of the feW thousand tickets
remaining unsold, an& thee advance the inter
