Another beauty in this association i 4 that it. is
placed within the ' reach of all. Every man,!
possessing a good moral character, a citizen of:
the United States, may become a member of it.
The man who earns his fifty cents a day. by ;.

life which a poor man can have nothing
. to do!
with. His wealthy neighbor may live in his
superb andsostly mansion, in all the pomp, 1
and show, did glitter of a vain, proud heart,
but the poor man must live in has humble log i
house with its roof of straw. Dern ere many 1
great enterprises in
: which the wealthy am en
gaged that a poor ; rip can have nothing to do
with, because they require capital, means.
wealth. Thorn are many associations, formed
upon the seine basis which your's is, that the
poor cannot join, because, their initiation fee,
and weekly contributidns aro so high it is
placed beyond his tneane. There aro oven
churches, in our own land, which a poor man
can scarcely enter ; because none but the
haughty and aristocratic chrigians go there,
and the pews aro sold so enormously high, that
the poor cannot buy them. and if he is not a
pew holder he is presumed to have no business
in the church-1 refer to some of the marble
churches of our large cities. A man is not to
be despised because he is poor. Our own int
mortal Washington rose from comparative ob
scurity. Patrick Henry. the Demosthenes of
MINI ice, was a poor boy. The great states
man of the west, America's brightest jewel.
was celled the 'milli boy of the slashes. " A
long list of names might be mentioned, names
: which will ever shed a halo of light and glory
upon the. page of history, to show that tiro
poor and hutnbld in lifeMayrise :to power and
lofty _distinction if they receive the proper en.
csuragenient. if means and opportunities are

, ciety does as I hare shown. Hero, every Wan,
'by a little saving, may become a member, end
enjoy the same privileges and rights that any
other member does. In these money making,
grasping, avaricious times there is too much of
a disposition to ride over, and crush down the
honest poor. Too often ant they ground to
powder under the iron heel of the wealthy.
Too often are they made to writhe in agony of
spirit, by the taunts and sneers flung at them '
by tho would-be aristocracy. Many a nettle,
zenerous, good heart has been frozen up by
the cold treatment received at the hands of
the rich. To the eternal disgrace of even this
'free, proud land be it spoken, that monea, now,
is the great 'molten calf that all men fall down
and worship. Where is the true genius, lofty
: patriotism, and sterling worth that character
hod our venerable fathers in the best days of
the republic? Alas! it is buried in the ocean
of the past, and a man is measured now by his
heaps , of gold.. I have seen seine men with
more hair upon-their face, than brains in their
head, more gold about theirperson, than ideas
in their numskull, a mere dressed up doll-baby,
courted, fawned upon, idolized, even worship
ed because they were rich. Sickening sight !
-I glory in that Society' which takes the poor
man by the hand, add elevates him to a stand
in the world, which places him in the same
position, in the enjoyment oldie same rights
and privileges which the inure wealthy enjoy.
Iglory in that . association which reaches forth
its arms and takes in the whole community,
which goes to the bonne of the poor man. keeps
vigil 'at 11114 couch of death, lays the soft hand
of affection upon his'cold brow, stands sentinel
at his' hearth stone, throws- its strong arms
around hia, little ones, and eves the widow
and the orphan a home. This society, then,
is a blessing and an honor to this whole coin

attention (trill._ Even man ought to-L.40,43

To the young men of this 4 large audience I
would say : join yourself to this noble associa
tion; You are now in the vigor and strength
of manhood. Long years of usefulnsss and
honor may bo before„ you. One by one your
fathers are moving off the stage of action, and
you aro coining on to play your, pnrts in the
grand drama of - life. Soon the Institutions,
the laws, and liberties of the great republic,
will rest upon 'four shoulders. It will be for
you to see that no blot is inado upon the es
cutcheon of our proud nation's glory. To the
young men of our beloved land must we look
for the perpetuity of all we hold dear and sa
cred in life. 'rho far off,generatious of the,
Anglo Saxon race, as they rise upon the Ilea-
tro of life, will look, with pride and wonder,
upon the monuments .of wisdom, arts, and
sciences inherited from you. the work of your
hands, or, groaning under the yoke of tyranny,
will curse the day that gave them birth. How
important. then. that you should occupy posi
tions is life, from which you may send out an
influence which will tell upon the future desti
nies of Mankind ! You owe a duty. not only'
to yourselves, but to your follow men, and a
part of that duty is to alleviate, as far as in t
your power, the sorrows and trials of suffering i
humanity around yeti. How can this duty be I
met and discharged so well as through the in- i
strumentality of a society of this kind ? Sonic
of youlave fathers. who belong to the associa- I
don:. Some of them have been members many
years ; they Tove it. they have built it up to its
present wealth, prosperity, and greatness, and j
when they
: die it would be a consolation to 1,
them to know that their sons are members,
and will still maintain and support it. Be
sides, though you now feel strewg and active,
though your acre is sinewy and fidi of might,
disease may lay its withering grasp upon your
manly frame, your stalwart arm may be un
nerved, death may mark you for its victim.
For weeks, and months, and even years, you
may be stretched upon a bed of pain and suf
fering, for "we cannot. tell what a day or an
hour may bring forth." Your society then
would be a friend indeed. In "Adams Divi-'
sion, Sons of Temperance," of which I have the
honor to bee member, we had a young man
who was confined to his home and bed for up
wards of a year. During all that time we paid
hita his weekly benefits. and siuoe his death
have paid to his widow some $55 00. Had he
not been a member of.our division ho would ;
have seen hard times, for ho was, poor, and
earned his daily bread in the sweat of his brow.
His is one case in a thousand ; it may be your
case. Again. :I would invite the inflUence of
the female portion of the community in favor
of this enterprise. It is true, Ladies, you can-,
not become members yourselves, but you can
induce yoni husbands, fathers, and sons to join,
and it may be that Some of you have even in-
fluenca etioukch to induce some crabbed old
bachelor to join, though that I very much quei
tion, for if female cluirins, and female loveli
ness aro not-sufilcient inducements for them to
leave the horrbrs of single blessedness..l con-'
side; their case rather hopeless. In this coon
try the female occupies an elevated stand in
Society. - a position front which she may, and,
does, exert a powerful influencer . upon the stern
er sex. She wields that, lever whose fulcrum
is childhood, whose length is all time, and i
whose sweep is eternity. The lessons, which'
your boy learns itt your knee, in infancy, go .I
with him and follow hiin through the world.
When he leaves ,the old ramify roof, and goes

Science in Italy, strange as it in ~, , r sound,
appears to he actually outstriliping "pro
gress" in all other quarters. to the nisi
der_oLolectric telegranbs t . welitui that they
are there e'en throwing the great tele
graphic theatre of the United Status of A
merica in the shade. We learn from the
intelligent correspondent at Genoa of the
Newark Advertiser that ono Chevalier
Iliinelli . has invented, and had in Mav
practically demonstrated, a locomotive
!electric telegraph. The problem was re
solved under the patronage of the Sardini
an Ow:implant, on the railway between
Turin and Montealier ;—a distance of
six miles—on the afternoon of the 4th of
I May, when, for 'the first time, a locomo
[dive running at full speed repeatedly
I exchanged messages with the station
whence it started. The writer says :
"The questions and answers tile va
ried and repeated during numero s kips,
without n single fault, and the inventor fi
lially anounced his eomplete success to
the Minister of Public .%mks at Turin,
irom a car running at the rate of a mile in
two minutes.
"The ordinary wirtAitie is thus super
seded by this demonstration of the preen
cability of using the common 'roil railway
track as a conductor of electricity genera
ted by a portable machine. But this sim
ple and ingenious invention of Italian ge
nius has a still more important bearing.—
The writer asserts, that by means of it,
not only may running trains be instatitly
arrestedby communications from the sta
tions, at whatever distance; not only may
the central and way-side stationary a
gents hold intercourse with them at will,
at any point of the rout, or in any stage
of their progress ; but the opposite trains
may communicate at any moment, with
out regard to distance or rapidity of move
ment, with each other, either before or be
hind. Thus, .through communications be
tween themselves, and with the stationa
ry agents on the rout, collisions may be
effectually prevented, and warning be giv
en of .obstructions or derangemetus on the
road."
A be the II all this be the fact, ''it would seem
,impossible to desire any thing more, for
!the security of passengers; and we in the
I United Statei know better than any other
i people how to appreciate such a security.—

The protection of all citizens in the le

. 'XII. The American party having . arisen
upon the ruins and in spite of Abe opposi,
tion of the Whig and Democratic parties,
cannot be held in any mariner res ponaible
fur the obnoxious aca or_violated pledgvi
of either. And 'the systematic agitation
-dila Slavery question by those poles
having elevated sectional hostility into a
positive element of political power, and
brought our institutions into peril, it has
thered'ere become, fire imperative 7 ,duty of
the American party 'to interfere, for the
purpose of giving peace to the country and
perpetuity to the Union. And as experi
ence has shown it impossible to reconcile
opinions so extreme as those which sep
arate the disputants, and as there can be
no dishonor in submitting to laws, the Na
tional Council has deemed it the best
guarantee of common justice and of future
peace, to abide by and maintain the exis
ting laws upon tbo subject of Slavery, as
a final anti conclusive settletnent of that
subject, in spirit and in substance.
And regarding it the highest duty to a
vow their opinions upon . a scbject so im
portant, in distinct and unequivocal terms,
it is hereby declared as the sense of this
National Council, that Congress possesses
uo power under the Constitution, to.leg
islate 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 recognize the Institution of Slavery as
part of its social systont ; and express
ly pretermitting any expression of opin
ion upon the power of Congress to estab
!ish or prohibit. Slavery in any Territory,
it is the sense of the National Council
that Congress ought-not no legislate upon
the subject of Slavery within the Terri
tories of the United States, and that any
interference by Congress with Silvery as
it exists in the District of Columbia, would
be a violation of the spirit and intention
of the compact by which the State of
Maryland ceded the District to the
I United States and a breach of the Nation-
I al faith.
XiH. The policy of 'the Government
of the United States, in its relation with
foreign governments, is to exact justice
from the strongest, and do •justice to the
weakest : restraining, by all the power of
the Governinolll, all its Citizens (root inter
lerence with the internal concerns of na
tions tv;th whom we are at peace.
XIV. The National Conned declares
that all die principles of the Order 8:tall be
henceforward every%Vhere openly avowed
and that each member shall be at liberty
to make known the existence of doi Order,
'and the fact lb-it he himself is a member ;

ted the following paper, which, after beim! .

To THE PEOPLE UP THE UNIIED sTATEs
The undersigned, citizens of the vari
ous assembled at Philadelphia, on
this I.3l,rieelall thy of June, 1655, feel
coostrained, und.•r the ;Alto of affairs, to
allirio the hillowmg prityiples :
First. Thu uneimmtional restoration
of that time honored compromise, known
as di.: Molsonri prohibition, which was
destroyed in titter diviegma ortne
will ; a wrong no lapse of little can palli
ate and no plea for its co wl:mance can jus
tify ; and that we will use all constitu
tional means to maintain the positive guar
ankle of this compact until the object for
which it was enacted has been consumma
ted by the admission of Kansas and
braska as tree :items.
Second. That ihe rights of settlers in I
Territories to the free and undisturbed ex
ercise of the Elective Franeluse guaran
teed to them by the laws under which
they are organized should he promptly
protected by the National Executive,
whenever violated or threaamed, Mid that
we cannot CORSlstently act with those who
will not aid us in the correction of those
natitral wrongs, and will ?WI even permit
lair consideration and lull discussion. ,
Third. IVo further declare our con
tinued and unalterable determination to
use all honorable efforts to secure such a
modification of the naturalization laws,
aided by such an elevation of public secti
ment as shall preserve the true interests of I
the nation, and shalll guarantee the three
vital principles of a Republican Govern
ment, spiritual freedom, a free Bible and I
ifree schools, thereby promoting the great
work of Americanizing America.
Fourth. That we invoke the arm of
legislation to arrest that growing evil, the
deportation, by foreign authorities, of
paupers and convicts to our shores ; and
as our National Constitution requires
the Chief Executive of our country to be
of native birth, we deem it equally neces
sary and important that our diplomatic
representative abroad should also lie:loess
no foreign prejudices to biai their judg
ment, or to influence their official action.

As far as seven or eight miles out the trees
attacked by them appear as if exposed to

swarm in every direction, not only upon
trees, but upon bushes, knees, and even
in dwetling hollyes. This greet Mere ase

Queen of England having discovered that
a Idige portion of the children of the domes

education, has commanded that premises
in Palace street, Pimlico, should ho fitted
up as a school to be opened for education•

expenses. The number of scholars of
both sexes at present eligible for admission
is 66. An evening school will also be es

A story is told by the Calilornia Pio
neer, of a faithful member of a church in
Massachusetts who was fond of exhorting.
He always commenced by saying that he
was quite unwell, and did not feel at all
like speaking in meeting, but would sav
word, and then give way to his brother - D
;
and then he would go on, roaring loudly
and swingink his arms, for at least ati hour.
At the conclusion of one of these barren
guns, "Brother D" slowly arose, and in a
most solemn voice said—".l. should be
amazingly interested to hear our friend
once when he was in good health."—
This finished that meeting.

sr2slVu are glad to learn that the effort
which is being made by the "Independent

celebration of the twining National Auld

citizens, generally, realize the importance

•cordially, with a determination to make
the display "worthy of - the occasion. The
associations of the town have been invited
to join in n parade on the morning of the
"Fourth," and several of them, among
them the "Gettys Lodge," and "Adams

and will appear• in full regalia. The dis
.play, we have no doubt, will be an impo

itable to our town.
We have had intimations that the la

idea of presenting a Flag to the Company,
un the morning of the Fourth, and we have
reason to believe that they are in earnest.
The idea is a good one. The ceremonies

fire had communicated to the frame-work
of the stable, but by a timely alarm, was

work of an incendiary. The fact that we
have still iu our midst these heartless vil

Very Importantß . •ecovery
4 ) •
7 'Wu have before us a copy of the
"London Mining Journal," of a recent
date, in which we find a very interesthig
article, called forth by a Lecture delivered
before the Society of Arts, by Dr. War.
H. SMITH, of Philadelphia, on "the utiliia
tion of the slags, or molten mineral pro
ducts of smelting furnaces." By a very
simple process, reached after a long series
of experiments, this hitherto worse than
useless material can' be applied to purpo ;
see of the highest utility. The Journal
ventures to predict that it will supersede
the labors of tho quarry, rivaling the most
valuable marble, and, in beauty and bril
liancy, many of tho most precious stones,
such as the agate, the jasper, the different
classes of variegated marble, and oven the
very attractive malachite. It is said that
for every ton of iron, two ton of slag are
formed ; from this may be inferred the
great importance to iron masters of this
discovery. Indeed it is impossible to es
timate the groat advantage to the world
which must result from it. As a build
ing material alone, it must make a revel
lion in architecture. We quote a para..'
graph from the Lecture, which may fyr
nish an idea of the different uses to which
this now useless material may hereafter be
•
applied :
"According to the treatment it receives,
slag can be rendered brittle or tough, hard
or soft, compact or porous, rough or
smooth. It can be cast into as great a
variety of forms, solid and hollow, as iron
itself, with the superior advantage of be
ing susceptible of the admixture and
blending of colours, so as to render it e
qual in brilliancy to agate, jasper mala
chite, the variegated marbles, and odor
more valuable varieties of the mineral
kingdom. When properly annealed. it
can be made to acquire a surface, or tex
ture, at least ten times as durable as that
of marble, and is susceptible of a pnlish
equal to agate or cornelian. As a build-
ing material slag can be readily a dapted to
any variety of architectural de,,ign, from
the simple slab to the most ornate and
complex decoration ; whilst its beauty and
durability chiefly recommend it as an ar
tide of luxury."
Our readers will ft el a pride in learning
that Pr. Wm. 11. Smith is a graduate of
Pennsylvania College, and resided for sev
eral years in our midst. He has many
friends and acquaintances hare, who will
feel gratified at the success which has at
tended his labors.
The "Jug . Law.”
17 InLancaster and other countie‘, se
cret associations aro being formed to op
erate against the Know 'Nothings,—oppo
sition to the temperance reform being one
of the cardinal principles. The whole re
sponsibility of the passage of what they term
the "jug' law," is charged upon the Amer
icans—and they do this in the face of the
fact, of which every intelligent reader
must be aware, that the liquor question
was not regarded as a partizan ono. How
ever creditable it may be foully party, the
charge is nevertheless false, and 64 who
assert it know it to be so. Every person
who knows anything about the subject and
wishes to tell the truth, knows that in the
Senate, (and Lad it not passed the Senate
it fever could have become a law,) there
were more old line Whigs' and Democrats
voted for the law than there were Amer-
7 Democrats, 2 Whigs, and G Ameri
cans voted for the law-15.
8 Democrats and G Americans voted a
gainst the
In addition to this, the only foreign
born in the Senate, George Darsie, of AI-1
legheny county, voted for the jag law, and
his vote passed it by oNF. majority. And
to show the utter falsity of the charge, it
is only necessary to state that there aro 19
anti-Know Nothings in the Senate, 15
Democrats and 4 Whigs, and only 13
Americans. We defy the enemies of
the American party to contradict these
facts.
PORTLAND RIOT.—The Mayor of
Portland, Neal Dow, has published a full
account of the Portland Riot, showing that
a less prompt and severe course on. his
part would have led to more bloodshed and
destruction. Ho says the project. of a mob
and riot had been known iu Portland, ear
ly iu May, in Boston two weeks before its
execution, and it was spoken of in Sacco,
North Yarmouth, Gorham, and Paris on
the morning of the day of tho riot. He
says further :
"rho ringleader of the mob, who lost his
life in it, was a strong and muscular man,
a sailor, and had left Boston a day or two
before to avoid arrest ; and I learn on re
liable authority that ho was engaged in the
King riot in this city about five years since.
Ho engaged in this tumult deliberately,
having spoken of it in the afternoon and
having refused the advice to keep away
from it. Had the mob accomplished their
first object, they would have become mad
on the liquors of the agency, then setting
lire to the remainder would have destroyed
tho City Hall, for that purpose was a
vowed. .
There are many and conflicting accounts
of this unfortunate affair; but in the very
worst aspect it has presented we think
Mayor Dow has actdd wrsaiyi and is onti•
tied to the thanks of every lover of law and
order for his prompt and onergetio action
in the discharge of his official duties.

The Nailollal COnVellilolll.
ItCrln another part of oar paper will
be found the Platform of the majority of
the American National Convoution, to.
gether with the Manifesto of the Norther a
Delegates, and the Protest of the Pennsyl
vania and Noir Jersey Delegation. In
our last paper wo expressed a hope that
the Convention would harmonize upon the
Slavery question, by agreeing to a restora
tion of. the Missouri Compromise, or, at
least, discarding that issue arl foreign to
the object of tho • American movement.—
We repot to say that i wo are 'disappointed.
Not only did a majority of the Conven
tion reject the proposed restoration of that
sacred and time-honored compact, (al
though several of the Southern members
admitted that the passage of the Kansas- 1
Nebraska bill was an act of injustice to
the North,) hut they refused to endorse
the very fair proposition - of the Pennsyl
vania Delegation to throw aside as irrel
evant to thu purposes of the Convention
every thing having reference to the Slavery
question, and incorporated in the Platform a
section affirming the existing laws (including
f cow se, the Kansas•Ncbrasha bill)to bo a
final and concluSive settlement of the Sla
very question I We aro nut disposed at
present to comment upon this action of the
National Council, further than to say that,
in the language of the Protest of tho Penn
sylvania Delegation, "we cannot consist
ently act, with fidelity to our principles
and former professions, with any national
organization whose Vim on the question
of Shivery will result in endorsing
the KansasAchralilta act."
We are glad to see:that the entire Atner
lean Press of the North, with but one or
two exceptions, approve and commend the
course of the Northern members, in secs•
ding frotu the Convention. and endorse the
principles of their public manifesto
We are glad, to, to find the opinion so
general all over the North, that the seces
sion of the Northern Delegates, instead of
injuring, will sthugthen the organization.
For the that time, in the history of our
l.lovernmeut, has the North exhibited a
determined and unflinching spirit-in au out
counter with Slavery ; and the firmness
and gallant bearing of the Delegates has
excited general admiration. All honor to
them.
A Sao Conventionme learn, is soon to lie
held, and to its doings all eyes will be anx
iously turned. It will have an important
duty to perform. We earnestly hope that
it will, by a unanimous vote, discard from
the National Platform the 12th Section,
as unworthy the countenance of Free-
Know Somethings
7A convention of the members of
this organization was in session last week
at Cleaveland, Ohio. Every Free State
was represented. There was also a del
egation from Kentucky. The convention
was largo and enthusias tic ; and the
strength of the order, as developed by the
convention, ..has suprised every body.—
They adopted a platform substantially as
follows :
"The preamble li , serts that servility to the
slave power is the characteristic of the existing
political parties—perilous to manhood and tlw
Iwst interests of the North and the liberties of
the republic.
The Resolutions declaim—That the issue be
thre the American public is whether freedom
shall be limited to the free States or Slavery to
the Slave States ; that the issue has been tercet
upon the country by Slave power aggressions.
These aggressions, and especially the Nebraska
outrages and assaults upon the elective fran
chise in Kansas, have aroused the freemen of
the Republic: and they will maintain their
rights mid resist additions to the Slave territo
ry. They will maintain the nationality of free
dom. ain't the friends of freedom should make
principles and no( birth-place the test of ad
mission to citizenship.
They will repel every ecclesiastical interfer
mice in political affairs—from potentate, pon
tiff, or priest, as destructive of the right to
worship Coil according to the dictates of con
science and liberty.
The resolutions also recommend fir the ac
(ion i &tile several States the promotion of teinper
aiws, the support of free schools, free labor, and
harhor improvements. They also urge all to
strive fit the election of nicti of integrity and
nerve to resist aggressions orally kind; and for
these objects are ready to unite with all men
under any name or organization to aid in car
rying into operation the principles avowed.
American Mass meeting.
CThe meeting held by the Americans
last gaturday night, in Philadelphia, was
a tromeeduous display of numbers.—
Delegations from the various words of the
ei4f. combed to the square in procession,
with music and banners, and soon thronged
eve`ty part of the enclosure. Three stands
were erected for the accommodation of the
speakers. Jacob Broom was Chosen Pres
ident, assisted by numerous Vice Presi
dents.
Tito principal speakers were ex• Gover
nor Brown, of Tennessee, Col. Mallory, of
New York, Col. Bowling, of Va., Gen.
Pitching, of Ky., Mr. Littlejohn, of North
Carolina, Col. Stokes, of Tennessee, Mr.
Roloy, of Miss., Dr. Claimer ; of New

and others.
During most of tho ovooiog•tho rain fell
copiously, and, altogether, the weather
was most unpropitious' for the demonstra

impesiug display.

A New State.
ICI' The Legislature. of Michigan, at it
last session, passed an act providing for
the formation of the mow State ou'rerrito•
ry of Superior. This new Territory embra
ces all that vast ()stint of territory on
the South shore of Lake Superior, and
north of Lake Michigan and Wisconsin
which now composes a part or Michigan.
It is entirely separatid- from it by Lake
Huron and Michigan, and . .ltMt no natural
connection with the rest of that State.—
Michigan has heretofore refused to , grant
their Tequest, but it seems a second sober
thppg , nt ins brought an assent. Two years
ago‘, Wisconsin passed an act, granting
the northern part of its territory Itthe
proposed State of Superior. The States of
Michigan and Wisconsin, being agreed to
this arrangement, Congress, by virtue of
the power vested in it by the 3d section
of the 4th article of the Constitution, has
tho authority to erect it into a territory,
or to admit it at once as a State. It is
destined to bo ono of the mostinteresting,
wealthy, and important portions of the
Union.

ATTITUDE OF TUE FOUR Powv.ns.
The Conference at Vienna having been for
merly closed, at the instigation of the Western
Powers, the negotiations for peace would not
likely be renewed unless Rassiashall apply to
Austria for her good offices.
.Austria it is said considers herself released
from all engagements to the Western - powers,
the latter having refused to conclude a peace
on reasonable terms. Austria, hoWever, still
professes herself to be the ally of France and
England, subjected to article L of the treaty of
December the 2d.
