BY THE LAST MAUL-.
American Rational Convention.
CivciaxATi, Not. 23. The National Ameri
can Convention yeterday afternoon and even
ing waa occupied in discussing the majority
report, which, after a long debate, was adopt
ed on a vote by States, which stood 93 to 11.
The majority report declares the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise was an infraction of the
plighted faith of the nation, and that it should
be restored. If the efforts to that end fail,
then Congress should refuse to admit any
State into the Union tolerating slavery, form
ed out of Territory from which that institution
was excluded by the Compromise. The report
also protests against coalescing with any party
that demands the abandonment of American
principles or the disorganization of the Amer
ican party.. A meeting of the delegates at
Philadelphia on the 19th of February next, is
also recommended. ' ' " "
The minority report was mainly sustained
by the Ohio and Michigan delegations. It de
clares that proscription on account of birth
was unwarranted by the American principles;
reccommended that the party act without se
crecy; regarded the slavery question as para
wotiat to all others.and recommended the im
provement of our river and harbors, and the
adoption of a generous foreign policy. The
Convention adjourned sine die about midnight
after a vote of thanks to the officers.
American Celthration in Washington.
Washington, Nov. 23. Notwithstanding
the severity of the weather, the Americans
bad a very large torch-light procession this
evening, enlivened by several bands of music,
banners of various devices, and monuments,
&c, on wheels. The line extended upwards
of half a mile. Before reaching the capitol,
the procession was joined by from 400 to 600
Baitimorians. - Bonfires blazed in varions
parts of the city, and canons were fired from
different points on 'the route.
Financial Troubles in New-England.
Boston, Nov. 23. It is rumored that the

ed. Uiuakb -Filmore. The Bulletin, in com
menting upon the resolution recently offered
at the American meeting at Trappe, Mont
gomery county, in favor of tho re-election of
Millard Filmore to the Presideucy, says:
"The sentiment of this resolution is that of a
vt ry large portion of the American people.
They eau never forget the propiety and digni
ty of the course of Mr. Filmore, under cir
cmrstances es trying as any man could well bo
placed ia. They look back to his administra
tion with aitistaction, as one of those periods
-..t which American history can proudly point,
i-rd Then they consider all that has since hap
j Ined to mortify the nation, ii is not snrpi i-.:-(C
that they shuu'd look to Mr. Filmore as a
.uvi to whom the honor and interest of the
country usy again 'be safely entrusted." To

DIED,
In Curwensville Pa., Nov. 23, 1866. after an ill
bra of five months, of Consumption of the lung,
.Mrs. Caihakise M. Patto, wife of Gen. Joux
i'ATTOX. and daughter of Alexander Ennis, Esq.,
of Lyon, Iowa, aged 23 years 3 months and 3 days-
& devout and tumble Christian, a kind mother,
a loving wife, and obliging neighbor, has been
eccDigoed to the cold tomb. Truly may it ba said
f her. '-none knew her but te love her, none named
her but to praije.'! After along and painful i II-
ne, during which no murmur eve r escaped her
lips, ahe sleeps sweetly in the arms of her Saviour.
the has gone to the pearly eity of the better land
where she will rejoin the little cherub whose cold
form lies buried at her side, and their angel eyes
will watch carefully over those that are left, until
ihcy greet them on their entrance to the Paradise
f God.)
Since the above was in type we have received
te following obituary from the Rev. J. Pois.iL.
In thedeath of this amiable lady, her family and
ihe Church have been bereft of one of their best
and brightest ornaments. In all the relations of
daughter, wife and mother, she was a remarkable
-example of all that was ''pure and lovely and of
good report." Bj her kind and gentle nature,
-her obliging simplicity of manners, and the un
spotted transparency of her entire character, she
secured the confidence, and commanded the re
spect of the large cirele of her acquaintenccs,
both in this community and elsewhere. For six
teen years she was a truly pious and exemplary
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and
daring all that period it might be said of her,
Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no
guile!" the bore her painful and pretracted suf
ferings with Christian fortitude, and was perfectly
resigned to the will of her Heavenly Father. She
sack at last beneath the soft , yielding waters of
death, insure and certain hope of a blissful im
mortality through the merits of her Redeemer.
th has left a husband, three eons, and an adopted
daughter to mourn their irreparable log. Surely
death rends all hearts! To weep, and to be wept.
is the irreversable decree as to man below. l!ut
so much the more welcome the home in Heaven
the inberitence among the saints in light, and "the
house of many mansions," where there "is fulness
of joy and pleasure for evermore."
A large concourse of relations and friends at
tended her funeral on Sunday the 25, and on Mon
day the mcu rtful occasion was improved in an
oble and impressive discourse by the Rev, Mr.
Bnrnitz. fron. 2 Cor. 4 chap. 17 and 18 verses,
"The memory of the jagt is preaious." J. P. ;
In Penn Twp., this county, on the 19th Inst., af
ter a short illnegi, Lvma Ilonv. wife of James
Henry, in the eighty-second yeaT of .her ago. .
The deceased was the mother of thirteen chil
dren, eight of whom are still living, and her de
scendants, as far as can h ascertained if living,
are eighty-four grand children, and about seventy-five
great-grand children. She was a kind and
aaeetionate wife and mother, a good neighbor and
eoncUtent christian, lived respected and died la

to its late impudent interferences in the local
concerns of the Democracy i i this State, that

reprimand, the Free Press aayat .
There is one other point we are going to
touch. . The, Washington Union is extremely
anxious that Whitfield should be admitted as
the delegate from Kansas. We hope he will
not be admitted. The admission of Whitfield
will be a virtual recognition by the House of
Representatives of the authority of the paendo
Legislature of Kansas, and of the validity of
all its disgraceful and monstrous acts. And
we hope too that Reeder will not be admitted.
His admission will legalize an irregular and
unauthorised election therefore it is that we
trust that both will be rejected and the whole
matter sent back to the people of Kansas.
This is doubtless the ground occupied by
General Cass.

eat Air-Tight Sslf-Sealinnf Cans and Jars, for
Preserving Frsi Fraita, &3. This invention for
which a patent has been obtained, commends it
self to the attention of Housekeepers and others,
on account of its great simplicity, and the effectu
al manner in which it accomplished a very desi
rable and useful object
The cans and jars are constructed with a chan
nel around the mouth, nerr the top. into whieh
the cover fits loosely. This channel is filled with
a very adhesive cement, prepared for the purpose
and allowed to hardon. In orler to seal the ves
sel hermetically, is only H'.eecsary to heat the
cover slightly, aii- l press it into flare. It may be
opened with as much ease as it is closed, by slight
ly warming the top. The ordinary tin cans, used
for the same purpose for which this is intended,
cannot be closed, as is well known without the aid
cf a tinpsr; are difficult to open, and are generally
so much injured iu opening as to be useless for
I mure service.
By this strun' contrivance, the pro?o3! of Ltr
