And Principles of the American Party. At a regular meeting of ihe NATIONAL COUN CIL OF 'JilK AMKKICAN PAUTY, begun and held at Philadelphia, on the 5th of June, A. D. 1S55, the following Platform was adopted ! The acknowledgment of that Almighty Uo ing, who rules over the L'nivcrse. who jrc"siJos over the Councils of Nations. who comlucts the affarsof men, and w ho, in every stop by which we have advanced to the character of an indepen dent nation, has distinguished us by some token of Providential agency. II. The cultivation and development of a senti ment" of profoundly intenso American feeling; of passionate attachment to our country, its hi.story and its institutions; of admiration for the purer days of our National existence; of veneration for the heroism that precipitated onr Revolution; and of emulation of tho virtue, wisdom, and patriot ism that framed our Constitution and first success fully applied its provisions. if I. The maintenance of the union of theso L'nitcd States as the p.-vraniount political good; or, to use the language of Washinjrt'in. ' the primary object of patriotic desire." And hence : : 1st. Opposition to all attempts to weaken or sub vert it. : 2d. Uncompromising antagonism to every prin ciple of policy that endangers it. : d. The advo'-acy of an equituble adjustment' of all political diflf'-'renccs which threaten its integri ty or perpetuity. . 4th. The suppression of all tendencies to politi cal division, founded "n "geographical discrimi nations, or on the belief that there is a real difLr euce of interest." and views" between the various sections of tho Union. I oth. The full recognition of the riirhta of the several States, as" ex preeed and reserved in the Constitution; and a careful avoidance, by the tieneral Government, of all interrerence with their rights by legislative or executive action. i . Obeoience to tho constitution of these U ni ted States, as the supreme law of the land, s.iurud ly obligatory upon all its parts and members ; and steadfast resistance to the spirit of innovation upon its principles, however specions the pretexts. Avowing that in an clou ou ill or aisputeu points it may only bo legally ascertained and expounded by the judicial power of the United State.-. And. as a corollary to mo af.ove : 1. A habit of reverential obedience to the laws. whether National. .State or Municipal, until they are either repealed or declared, unjonsti.tiucna! bv tho proper authority. A tender and sacred regard lor uioso acts ot statesmanship, which are to be contra-distinruish ed from acts of ordinary leei.-lation, by the fact of their being of the nature ol compacts and agree iueuts: and so. to be considered a nxod and set tled national policy. v . A radical revision and iiiodilioaticn ol iLe laws reffulatins; iin:niratioa. and the sctt'.tjjjcnt of immigrants Offeniii: to the hone?t uuinigrunt who. trom love of liberty or hatred ol oppression, seeks an asylum in the Unitoil States, a friend iy reccption and protection. J;ut uiiiiualiaea!y con demning the transmission to our thores, of felons and paupers. - I. Ihe essential inodilicttion ol Uio .NaiuraM- zation Laws. The repeal by the Legislatures of the rcsr cctiv.i States, of all State, laws allowing foreigners not naturalized to vote. - Tho repeal, without retroactive operation, of all acts ot Congress making grants ot. land to unnatu ralized foreigners, and allowing them to. voie in the Territories. VII. Hostility to the corrupt means by which tho leaders of party have hi therto forced upon u- our rulers and our politic! creeds. Implacable enmity against the .prevalent demo ralizing system of rewards for political subscrvi- ency, and ot punishments lor dence. poiitical indep jn aflcr ofnee whih Disgust for the wild hunt characterizes the age. Ihcse on the one hand. In the other : Imitation of thepraeti.;c of the purer days of the Republic; and admiration of the maxim that " office should seek the man. and not man the office," and of the rule that, the just mode of a3- ertaining fitness for ot'ice is the capability, the faithfulness, and the honesty of the incumbent or candidate. VIII. Pvcsistancc to the aggressive policy and corrupting tendencies ol the Koman amuno Church in our country by the advancement to all political stations executive, legislative, judicial or diplomatic of those only who do not hold civil allegiance directly or in lirceuy, to any loreign power whether civil or ecclesiastic il. and who are Americans by birth, education and training: thus fulfilling the maxim, -AMKUir.vNS o.m.y SIIW.L GATEKN AMEUlA." The protection of all citizens in the legal and proper exetoise of their civil and religious rights and privileges : the maintenance of the right of every man to the full.' unrestrained and peaceful enjoyment of his own religious opinions and wor ship, and a jealous resistance of all attempts by any sect, denomination or churoh to oMain an as cendency over any other in tbo Slate, by means of any special privileges cr exemption, by any po litical combination of iu members, or by -a Jt sion of their civil allegiance with toy foreign power, potentate, or ccck,sitV; IX. The reform atin of the character of ourNa- tional Loffi.-Iaturc, by elevating to that dignified and responsible position aca of higher qualifica tions, purer morals, and more unselfish patriotism. X. The restriction of executive patronage especially in the natter of appointments to oiiiue. so far as it may be permitted by the Constitu tion, and consistent with tho public good. XI. The education of the youth of our country in schools provided by the Stat ; which schools shall be common to all, without distinction of creed or party, and free from any inftuenco or direction of a denominational or parlizan character And. inasmuch a3 Christianity by the Constitu tions of nearly all the States ; by the decisions of the most eminent judicial authorities ; and by tho consent of the people of America, is considered an dement ot our political system; and n? tho Holy Eiblc H at once the source of Christianity, and the depository and fountain of 'all civil ari l religious freedom, we oppose every attempt to excjndo it from the schools thus established in the States. XII. The American party having arisen upon the ruins and in spite of the opposition of tho Whig and Democratic- parties, cannot bo bold in anv in.uinor responsible for !ho obnoxious acts or violated pledges of ei:hor. And the systematic agitation, of the Slavery ques:in by those parties having elevated sectional hostility into a positive clemrnt of political power, an 1 brought our insti tutions into peril, il Las therefore be-.?mc the im perative duty oi tho American party to. interpose, for the purpose of giving pence to the country and perpetuity to the Union. An I as experience haj shown it impossible to reconcile opinions so ex treme as those which separate the disputants, and as there can be no dishonor in-submitting to tho laws, tho National Council has deemed it the best guarantee of common justice and of future peace, to abide by and maintain' the existing laws upon the subject of Slavery, as a final and conclusive set'tlenuint ' of that subject, iu spirit and in Eub Staneo. !':- And regarding it the highest duty to avow their opinions aps ' subject so important, in distinct and uejuivwfi1 "vms, it i hereby declared as the sense of this Nartoaal Council, that Congress possesses ro-pawef under the Constitution, to legis late upon the ' subject of Slavery iu the States where it does -or may exist, or to exclude any State from admisMOn into the Union, because its Constitution does or docs not recognize the insti tution of Slnyery as a part of its social system ; and expressly permitting any expression of opin ion upon the"-power of Congress to establish or prohibit Slavery in any Territory, it is the sense of the National Council that Congress ought not to legislate upon the subject of Slavery w ithin tho Territories of the United States, and that nny in terference by Congress with Slavery as it exists in tho 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 United States, and a breach of the National faith. XIII. The policy of the Government of the United States, in its relations with foreign gov ernment, is to exact justice from the strongest, and do justice to the weakest; restraining, by all the power f the government, all its citizens from interference with the internal concerns of nations, with whom we are at peace. XIV. This National Council declares that all ho principles of the Order shall be henceforward o.ery whore openly avowed ; and that each mcni bei shall bo a! liberty to make known the exist enct of the Order, and the fact that he himself is a number ; and it recommends that there be no concealment of the places of mooting of subordi nate councils. E. IS IlAltTIiETT, Pres t. THE AMESICAIf NATIONAL COUNCIL We glean all the particulars wo can of the pro ceedings of this body. Tho following is the vote on the adoption of tho minority report, which was in the following words Resolved, That tho repeal of the Missouri Com promise was an infraction of the plighted faith of the nation, and that it should be restored, and it eilorts to that end shall fail. Congress should re fuse to admit any State tolerating Slavery which shall be formed out of any portion of the territory from which that instiution was excluded by that Compromise. .

The Schuylkill Democracy is in serious trou ble, having divided itself into two factions, the Foreign and tho Xative born, with the Gazelle as the organ of the former and the Register of the latter. Week before "List, the Foreign wing acting under the leadership of the valiant Col. Straub, held a meeting, at which the Re gister wa.s read oat of the party, and the form of an allid ivit agreed upon in accordance with wi ich all c vmlid ites l'or nomination shall be roijuireil to be sworn. This lias aroused the native born portion of the party-, and they have accordingly called another county meeting, the c 1 for which we find in the Register, and is as follows : Daily tews. DEMOCRATS AROCSJS ! Prepare to resist the effort now being made to Koinanizs our politics, and to thrust upon you an oath-bound political confession! ! The Democrats and Republicans of Schuyl kill county, in favor of sustaining the ancient usages of tbo party, and opposed to administer ing extra-judicial oaths to voters at Delegate elections, to the Delegates themselves, and to candid itss lor oliice, are requested to meet at the usual place in their respective- eleetiondis tricts, on Saturday, tiie 11th day of August next, for the purpose ot selecting the usual number of delegates each district is entiled to, to represent them in a County Nominating Convention. The delegates to moot ot e.iuyl kjil Haven, at the hou r 1'hilip Uoyer, on Mond.iv,-the 13lh Iay of August next, at OjO' clock, A. M., to put in nomination a Republi can Ticket, hostile to the movement now be in made to establish a political oath-bound ooiifo.-'111'.- where native born citizens are to bo sworn as to their democracy, before they can have the right to vote oven at a delegate election, to be a delegate, or 1 a candidate. At said election for delegates, no oaths are to be administerod; and every Democrat or other citizen, whether native or adopted,ofler ing to vote, shall have the right to do so, on the sole condition that such voter promise to support the ticket which may be placed iu nomination by the delegates thus chosen. That all nominations in sai 1 County Conven tion shall be made rirct tore or by ballot, as a ta ijority of the delegates present shall decide. One person to be placed in nomination by said Convention, for State Senator; twopersous for the House ol Representatives : one person for Sherifi"; one person for County Treasures; one prsou for County Commi ssioner; one per son for Director of the Poor, and one person for Auditor; and to transact such other business as pertains to-the welfare of the party. It is earnestly requested that the Democrats of every district in the County, will secure the election of worthy r.nd eEcient men, known to be conscientiously opposed to the attempted innovation of the established l ights and us ;ges of our party. ' . The il-;gisl,!r says: For the almost universal feeling of indignation manifested by the De mocracy throughout this-county, at the bold ness of Col. Straub and a certain class of Irish politicians to endeavor. to control onr politics, and compel citizens to submit to extrajudicial oaths, it might not perhaps bo necessary for us to say a single word. But that our. qonrsa and position may bo distinctly understood, we hesitate not to say that we are prepared to stand bj- the ancient usages of tho party, and do now aud shall forever protest against the attempted innovation on tbo part of Stranb and his adherents ; that under no circumstan ces can a Democrat, professing to be an Amer ican freeman and Christian, submit to be sworn as to his politics, to .subserve the pur poses of such demagogues. Fhom Mexico- The city of Monterey was captured by the revolutionists on the 27th ult., and (Jen. Cardona andti7 officers made prision ers. A large quantity of munitions of war and 2(3 piecs ot cannon were also taken. Buisncss was entirely suspended. Caravajal and Capistran had crossed the Rio Grande, and it was reported had encountered a large body of Government troops. Lock Havkn Bank. We learn from the American Watchman, that the subscription books of the Lock Haven, Bank, were duly opened on Monday, the 25th ult., and that the entire amount of the Capitol Stock was sub scribed forthwith. The stock was taken, for the most part, by the buisness men of that vi cinity. ' 1 - - - - The Lieutenaxt Generalship. A Wash ington correspondent of the New York Express says the Secretary of war has decided that Gen. Scott is not entitled to any pay for arrears, or the future, in consequence of his rank of Lieu, tenant General. Tho Attorney General is re viewing the opinion. lnE Cuban Lxpeditiox. The New York sun makes strange revelations concerning cer tain leading American "fillibusters" revela tions of such a character as to make a great noise m certain circles. The pith of theso disclosures is that Gen. Qcitman, together with sundry retired ofiiceis of the United States army, agreed to (ret tin a military force to protect the landing of arms for the Cubans, iurwmcn,n is alleged, they received ten thou sand dollars in hand. Two steamers were char tered, in consideration of which 50,000 were at once paid down, in thirty dars thereafter So0,uG0 more was advanced, followed by an additional $50,il)0 when the captain reported lu'mself ready to sail. The money was all paid in good faith, and all of it was to be forfeited if the recipients did not start in thirty days from the time the vessels were reported for sea. But when the time came for sailing, it is charged that the government was informed by the contracting parties of the scheme on foot, aud the result was tho .whole allair was knocked in the head. The government at Washington' was led into the secret, and "so were the Cuban authorities. And thus., says the Sun, $1.')0,000 were swept away by. one foul, atrocious piece of treachery. The Sun also makes allusions to a "dismissed chief," who was to receive $1,000,000 when he had estab lished Cuban independence. What is the Reason ? The Tolland County Gazette, published at Rockville, Conn., . says there is sold to the paper makers of that city the rubbish from the post-offices, and among it more than two thousand letters of various descriptions had been received at one paper mill in the last two years: "Among these letters arc acreat many writ ten by businessmen, and of much consequence to their proper owners. Thev came from all sections of the country, qnite a number mail ed at California, and some foreign letters. On a large majority of thesa letters the postage had been prepaid, so that the notion that a prepaid letter is more likely to be safely car ried to itj right destination, is at onco "shown to be incorrect by the startling fact revealed by these "lost letters!" Among a lot of pa pers published at the New York City Tost ol fice, was a letter w hich contained a "check for MUo. Wut ol seven or eight sacks from,' the Post-office, I'roviuence, Rhode Island, about halt a bushel of letters were found, and among them one containing money and insurance pa pers of value.. A lot of papers from the Hart ford rost-officc contained, among others, a letter mailed at Pittsfield, Mass., directed to a firm in Hartford, which contained a check for thirty dollars.". The Gazette calls for an explanation of this matter, and the public have a right to demand a satisfactory one. - That "GloriOG3 Democratic Victory." The result of the late election in Virginia was not so much of a "glorious Democratic victory" after all ! The full returns establish, beyond a doubt, the election of Mr. CarJile, the American candidate in the Eleventh Dis trict, in opposition to the Locofoco nominee, Charles S. Lewis. As the election of neither Generaly Bayly nor Governor Smith can be claimed as Democratic triumphs, it will ap pear that the. Democracy have lost three r.iem bers of Congress out of the thirteen. We con fess our inability to see how they can manu facture "a glorious Democratic triumph" out of a loss of three Congressmen and a majori ty of less than ten thousand in a State which gave Pierce 15,000! It appears to us that they are rejoicing, not so much at their suc cess, as at their escape from utter defeat. Three mcmliers of Congress will do very well lor a party not yet ono year old in Virginia. I tie "old Dominion" will be 1856! right side up in Ax Intercepted Gift. The Emperor Napo leon lately sent to a gentleman in New York who is an old friend of his, a valuable gold snulf box, mounted with brilliants, and bear ing npon the cover the imperial cipher. The old friend, however, seems to be a rxsrsoii troubled, as the Emneror himself once was. with more creditors tl lan monpT. and fbpso creditors getting wind of the present, levied on' it for debt immediately upon its arrival in N.
