WILL TIwCCwoLS PSE7AIL!
We gave tho proceedings of tlie 'American
National Convention in uac last, together with
sundry tecediug declai uaioos, prolosts, and
proceedings of a public lueetin-, all which in
dicated very plainly that, on the exciting sub
ject of slavery the new party is fur Iron being
a unit, and the voice of the press, coming
from all iu.art.crs in this State, shows that
Pennsylvania will probably stand upon the
grounds assumed in the protest made by Win.
F. Johnson and others, or in other words re
jected the platform as adopted. Among the
Whig and American papers which have al
ready defined their position against the sla
very part, are the Pittsburg Evening Times,
Dispatch, and Commercial Journal, Lucks
county Intelligencer, Lebanon Boy of '7G,
Norristowa Herald, Carlisle Herald, Eastern
Whig, Gettysburg Star, Lancaster Whig, West
Chester Record, York Republican, Juniata
Sentinel, Bellel'oitte Whig, CarLoiidale Tran
script, Lhinville Democrat, Honesdale Demo
crat, Ilarrisburg Herald, Erie Gazette, Lan
caster Citizen, Indiana Register, Raftsman's

Commonwealth, Butler American, Perry .Free
man. With the experience of the past before them,
one would suppose that politicians or a stamp
not above mediocrity could have known that
no sectional matter could receive general con
currence lrom any body of men assembled
from a widely extended country, having pe
culiar State institutions and in some cases ad
verse interests, and hence an expression on tho
question of Slavery was altogether ill-timed
and imprudent ill-timed because not called
for, and imprudent because unless tho candi
date for President is now conceded to a south
ern man, with slavery principles, the succes
sor of Mr. I'ierce may not be an "American."
True, the election might be thrown into the
House of Representatives, but the same dis
cordant elements would be at work there as
In the Senatorial contest at Ilarrisburg last
winter, and a spectacle be presented that would
reflect no credit on those concerned.
To our mind, the only safe course now to be
pursued, is for the dillerent states to give ex
pressions of approval or disapproval of the
platform as erected, and unless two-thirds or
three-fourths ascrit thereto refer it to the
convention that will place in nomination a
candidate for tho Presidency. If wise coun
sels then prevail, the breach m iv bej repaired,
aud success crown its etlorts; if not, the des
tiny of the new party is plainly written. Leic

Fisiox State Convention in VLiizir-XT.
Thj Free Soil, or Fusion State Convention,
assembled on Wednesday, at Duiliiigfon.
About o" ' delegates were present. Alexan
der Sabine, Es:i., presided. The Stdo ticket
of last year was unanimously re-nominated,
as fo!l ws: For Governor, Stephen Boyc.i ;
Lieut. Governor, Ryland Fletcher ; Treasurer.
M. Bates. The convention was addressed by
the President, Hon. S. Merrill, P. Baxter and
others. The resolutions commend the seces
sion of the Northern delegates from the Phi
ladelphia Convention, declaring the time lor
compromise with slavery to hive piasL-d, and
strongly denounce the Nebraska-Kansas set.
The seventh resolution was as follows :
Resolved, That the Prohibitory system adop
ted in this State has, by its salutary influence,
commended itself to the support of the peo
ple, and that we are opposed to any alteration
of the existing law on that subject, ccept
such as may be necessary to givj it greater
efficiency.
The Convention was harmonious through
out. The Indians in Texas. The Indians sncm
to get credit for some robberies and murders
in Texas which they do not. commit. A Zdr.
Walker at Dripping Springs, forty miles west
of Austin, being attacked by five men, appa
rently Indians, and killed, a negro who was
with him at the time escaped, reached a set
tlement and reported the circumstances. A
party then pursued the murderers, killed lour
and gave -chase to the fifth, who being woun
ded, was captured while attempting to cross
the river. But the water washed oft' his paint
and showed him to be a white man in disguise.
On washing the faces of the four dead ones
they also were lound to 1-j white men. The
prisoner said, that there was in the mountains
a party of one huudred, who had been com
mitting depredations on the frontier, all of
which have been charged upon the Indians.
Walker, after being killed, was robbed of six
ty dollars. This discovery accounts for nu
merous mysterious murders. ;-
Secret Cocncit. in Bai.ti.hore. Archbish
op Kciulrick, says the New York Crusader,
has convoked in his palace a secret council of
the Bishops of his province, where business of
high importance will be transacted by the
help of a dozen of pro-consuls of his holiness
in the United States. As long as the high
representatives of the Pope in America hold
secret meetings, no Anti-American politician
or editor has u word in condemnation even
Barnard and Beale are as silent as blind mice;
but when Americrns unite in private councils,
loud are the imprecations against them, and
they are called midnight assassins, murderers,
traitors, Chri'stless, Godless and ruflians! We
hope that the Catholic press will have no more
abuses for the Knw Nothings, as we believe
they have the same right as foreign Bishops,
to meet privately on any part of their native
soil.
Division or Union County. The contested
election case in Union county in relation to
the division of said county, was tried at New
Berlin on tho 12th instant. After argument,
the Court quashed the petition of the Anti
Division men, oa account of informality in
the specifications, and the division of Old
Union is therefore now a fixed fact, unless the
excitement should be continued by an appeal
to the Supremo Court.- The-fceling of the
different parties ran so high, that it is said the
Lewisburgers brought their own tents and
victuals with them, in order to obviate the ne
cessity of patronizing the New Berlin land
lords !
HTJ2DEE LN CINCINNATI.
The Enquirer of Sunday last, gives the par
ticulars of a deadly encounter between An
drew Cunningham and John Fowler, which re
sulted iu the death ot the 1 itter. It appears
that Cunningham was a partner in tho firm of
Seybold, & Co., in the edge-tool manufactur
ing and grinding business Mrs'. Seybold car
rying on the business in the name of her de
ceased husband. In January last the firm was
dissolved by the withdrawal of Wm. II.
Sprague, another of the firm, and recently
Mrs. Seybold has desired to sell out ; but Cun
ningham not having the means to purchase,
the establishment was closed, with a view of
settling up the business of the concern, and
Mrs. Seybold selected Mi. John A. Fowler to
act as her agent, and to watch the establish
ment. On Saturday morning Mr. Cunningham went
to the shop, and, discovering the door to be
locked, he broke it open and commenced mak
ing a tire under the boiler. The engine-room
was in the basement, and Cunningham request
ed a man named J. L. Geiger to remain there
a short time, while he went upstairs. In the
meantime Fowler came in and took a scat.
Cunningham said to him, " j-ou have no busi
ness here." Fowler replied, " I will let you
know whether I have or not." Cunningham
then ordered him out of the shop. Fowler
said, " I will not go out : I have been placed
hero as a watchman." The two then clinch
ed, but separated immediately after, and Cun
ningham grasped a hammer : Fowler also pick
ed n p a hammer and struck Cunningham on
the head. A scufile then ensued, and both
parties gotout on the sidewalk, when Geiger
seized hold of Fowler. Cunningham rushed
into the shtp, and in a few moments returned
to the door with a revolver in his hand, and
said to Fowler, " John, leave here or I will
shoot Ton." Fowler replied, " I will leave
when I please." He, however, started toward
the street, when Cunningham fired at him.
Fowler ran across the street, followed l y Cun
ningham, who fired two shots more at him,
the last ball striking him immediately behind
the right ear, and passing out on the left side,
near the temple. He fell upon the sidewalk,
and expired in a few minutes.
Cunningham received a severe wound on
the right side of the head, fracturing his skull,
and was also struck or kicked in the mouth.
He was arrested, and taken to Rurdsal's drug
store, on Main-street, where his wounds were
dressed, and from thence he was conveyed to
the Ninth-street Station-house, where a bed
was provided for him and medical attendance
procured.
Fowler was a widower, .and leaves a voting
child, a boy about six years old.

Cunnincrham
Ake Roman Catholics Americans? We
recently asked, "who are Americans?" aud
expected that some kind friend of the Ameri
can cause would favor us by drawing the line
accurately between a native born American
and a Jesuistic il foreigner. The learned Dr.
Murray, the stalwart champion in the arena
against Romanism (as Kirwan,") has just
given a brief answer to our .question, and has
given it interrogatively. He siys:
, "Can men who believe in the spiritual pow
er of bishops and pnst3 to do all that they
threaten, and who tear their curses as they do
the curse of God, and who place submission
to theh superiors and belief in God in the
same catagory ; c m men who implicitly obey
their bishops, who implicitly obey the Pope,
he American citizens, and true patriots?
They mint be either false to their country, or
false to thcli church. And if false to either,
they re unworthy of confidence, and should
never be raised to positions of trust or power.
A true Papist cannot lo a Irnc. PatYiot in any
countrv which is not in subjection to the
Pope."
The Platform" in I)i;i.awark. The Del
aware Republican, published in a slave State,
says the people of the North and West cannot
be rallied to the support of a platform which
asserts that the laws in regard to slavery .hall
remain unchanged, that Congress ought not
to legislate on that subject within the territo
ries of the United States, nor the District of
Columbia, d eel uvs that it would havo been
the height of folly for the Northern delegates
to have acquiesced in those provisions, or re
mained in the Convention, and candidly adds :
If slavery is a ' social and a political evil,'
as Southern men as well as Northern o:i?s have
declared, our friends of the South should give
way, and not attempt to extend or perpetuate"
it bv anv additional law."
Hiss in Daxgkr. The Ncwlmryport ITcrall
says : :t We learn that Mr. Jos?ph Hiss, late
representative of Boston, came near suffering
serious injury, if not death, at the Ocean
House, on Wednesday night. Mr. II. was in
tot, n, preparory to lettiiring i.pon the doings
of tho Legislature, stopping at the Ocean
House, and retired at night with a spirit lamp
hnrning, with the wick well up. In the morn
ing the room was full of stroke, and Mr. Hiss
himself the color of a coal man. He was
awakened with cxtieme difficulty, but not un
til tiic condition of the room had even caused
the blood to settle about his eyes. Ono of the
windows was slightly raised, o otherwise he
might have died."
Poi.itico-Rki.ioious. On the 11th inst. the
members of the Methodist E. Church assem
bled in mass meeting, at Centerville, Monroe
county, Vs., to take into consideration a let
ter recently written to the Richmond .Enqui
rer, charging that the members of that and
other churches of the Baltimore Conference,
were controlled in their votes by tho church.
The meeting pronounced the statement false,
asserted their belief that the author was aware
of its falsity, and recommended him to tho va
rious churches of the Conference in Virginia,
as a fit subject of prayer to God that he might
"dispense him light, both spiritual and intel
lectual." Disopstino ! The Pittsburg Disp-jtch say3:
'Wc havo hcrctofora refrained from invnti oning a
circumstance reported to have oecured during tho
recent visit of Archbishop Hughes to this city, be
cause we hal no authority for believing it true.
Finding it. however, in the (Jrcensburg lntrlligen
rer, vouched for by the editor, we givo it to the
publio, that the lawyer alluded to may deny it,
should it be unfounded. Tho Intclliarenrer says:
.Gethownon Voru Mahrow Boxas ! Ono of the
most subservient, humiliating, and manworshiping
acts wo have lately beard of. took place in Pitts
burg a few days since His lleverencc Areh

which took place on Sunday last, Lo was met at
the Monogahcla House by a certain Lawyer, ono
of his followers. The latter on jecognszing the
Bishop, got down unt.i his knee and kissed
tlie Jit-shop's hand. When he got through with
his menial service, he turned round to another
gentLman with whom bo was acquainted, bidding
him the time of day and extending his hand to
give the usual 'shake.' He received the reply,
that '-ho could not shake hands with any man who
would worship a fellow mortal in that way." We
have this from a respectable gentleman, who heard
the lawyer himself acknowledge that he had done
Denied the Privilege. Three officers of the
United States Army have recently arrived in Eu
rope, on their way to the Crimea, to see the opera
tions of the siege. Thoy could not get the consent
of tha French government to visit the allied camp,
unless they gave a plodgo that they would not
afterwards visit the Russian camp. They have
