that the exercise by a citizen otherwise worthy
of - hisitutifenable - right - to - worship God-accord- .
ing to the dictates of his own conscience,`
ought not to raise a distinction between him
and other citizens, nor to disqualify him from
a participation in public affairs and trusts.
Reeolved, That while we proudly proclaim
this country to be the asylum of the oppressed
from all nations and climes, and welcome every
good and worthy citizen of the Old World to
a home on our shores, attributing to him no
blame for the fact that his birth oconrred in

nevertheless, are opposed to the policy which
permits the rulers of Europe to throw their
paupers and convicts upon our soil and our
resources for su r iport ; and, further, recogni•
zing the right o \every government to protect
itself from injury, and its institutions from
abuse, we hold the question of the naturaliza
tion of aliens to be a proper subject for the
exercise of a sound legislative discretion under
the Federal Constitution, to he so treated as
by law nt once to prevent the operation of
alien influence upon our,political affairs, and
to admit to the fullest privileges of citizens,
all those, and thoie only, who may prove them
selves to entertain n sincere allegiance to our
Government, and to be well affected towards
the fundamental principles of combined order
and freedom on which our republican institu
tions rest.
_Resolved, That we hold our government not
to lie a selfish thing, but an organization in
tended to he alike beneficent rind conducive
to the welfare of the people—that its first du•
ty is protection, and that duty is best dis
charged by a revenue policy so arranged ns to
effectually shelter the business, industry and
enterprise of our people from a crushing com
petition, on unequal toms, with foreign skill,
cap tal and unfair policy, and thus to build
up a real American system impregnable to
every alien attack.
Resolved, That the Whig party is the party
of regulated, constitutional freedom, recognis
zing the rights of all, but yielding to the ag
gressions of none ; and we would be false to
all the traditions of its history, as well ns to
the convictions of our own minds, were we not
here, as we do emphatically, to pronounce our
most unqualified condemnation of that latest
invasion nlike of the rights and principles of
northern freemen, by which the time honored
Compromise of 1820 Inns been abrogated—ter
ritory.solemnly consecrated to freedom has
been opened to the aggressions of slavery and
the simulated pretext of respect for the popu
lar right of self government. has been exposed
by a base violation and overthrow of the fran
chise of free election by armed bands of bul
lies and marauders, and the act of broken
faith has been crowned by outrages on the
absolute rights of persons, by the denial of
the freedom of the press, and by a complicity
of the highest tfficers of the Federal ettivern
meat, ns shown by the removal of Governor
Reeder, with mob riot and misrule.
Resolved, That we recqgnize as the urgent
question of the present, the necessity of recti
fying the great wrong that has been commit
ted, and to that end insist upon the restora
tion of the abrogated and annulled Compro
mise, and the re establishment of the exclu
sive rights of free labor in the Terriiiiries,
which have been exposed, and in_ largo part
surrendered to the most lawless invasions of
hereditary human slavery, which cannot con
sist with the independent and honorable in
dustry of white northern freemen, tvhich un
derlies and supports the progress and pros
perity of our country ; and • that until such
restoration, we will resist by alt lawful means
in our power, the admission of any more slave
States into this Union.
Resolved, That the Fugitive Slave law should
he essentially modified, and that the personal
liberty of no person should be infringed with
,out a trial by jury.
Resolved, That while we are unwilling to in
terfere-in the slightest degree with the insti
tution of slavery in States where by law it cr.-
ists, yet we hail with pleasure the strong and
increasing public sentiment in Pennsylvania
in opposition to its further spread, and espe
cially to any attempt to introduce it, even par
tially or for a day, upon our own free soil.
Resolved, That we adhere to the Whig prin
ciple of good faith in all negotiations and trea.
ties with foreign governments, and hold
busterism—tho modern piracy---whether open
or disguised, for gain of gold or acquisition, of
land, to be alike injurious to our national
character, and opposed to all the principles
of our government.
Resolved, That the administration of nation
al affairs by Franklin Pierce and his counsel
lors, has, by its invasion of the principles we
have thus declared, only verified the Whig
prognostications made before his election, and
drawn upon it a popular rebuke which it well
deserved.
Resolved, That holding the views thus avow
ed, we stand prepared to unite with all others
on a common ground of open, manly, equal
aciion in their vindication; and if such co
operation be refused by others, and terms in
sisted upon by them which demand from ti's
nothing less than an abject banisnion, alike
offensive to our honor and self-respect, while
we regret the untoward result which must fol
low of shielding an injurious national Ad
ministration from a reiterated and effectual
sentence of popular condemnation, wo hold
ourselves absolved from responsibility, and
lament the state of circutnstances which throws
those who ought to bo friends into a position of
mutual and recriminating hostility.
Resolved, That: the sale of the public worke
is part of the settled policy of the Whig party,
and has repeatedly received the sanction of
the people; and that the public interests re
-quire-that-such, legislation shall be adopted as
will effectually and speedily Carry out the will
of the people of the commonwealth.
Resolved, That the administration of Gover
nor
Pollock has met the jest expectations of
the Whigs of Pennsylvania, by its earnest of- '
forts to dispose of the public works; to reduce
our. State debt; diminish the crushing burden
of taxation imposed upon the people, and to
maintain the true principles of economy and
reform. . •

for the present, and the convention proceeded
to nominate a Canal• Commissioner:
Mr. Chamberlin nominated Passmoro Wil
liamson.
Mi. Darlington nominated Joseph !fender
son.
Mr. Williams nominated Robert M. Lemon.
Mr. Campbell (Alleg.) nominated Archibald
Robertson.
. Mr. Campbell (Alleg ) asked whether Mr.
Mowry belonged to the Whig party, and if he
was not a member of another political ease
ciati on,
Mr. Elder replied somewhat in an evasive
manner, that he thought Mr. Mowry was right
on the " goose question," but he had conclu
ded to withdraw his nomination.
Mr. Freeman °fleeted to the nomination of
Prtssmore Williamson as the IVldg candidate,
stating that he was not now nor had he ever
been a Whig.
Mr. Chamberlin and Mr. Darsie advocated
the nomination of Williamson on pure republi
can and antislavery grounds.
Mr. M'Clure spoke earnestly against the
nomination of Williamson, when
On motion or Mr. Walker, the convention
proceeded to vote mire rare for a candidate for
a candidate for Canal Commissioner, with the
following result:
Mr. Henderson having a majority of all the
votes cast, was declared the nominee of the
%% big party for Canal Commissioner.
The reso!utions, us reported by the commit
tee. were then adopted, with addition of one
relative to the State administration, not em
braced in the original report.
A reso'ution was passed giving the President
of the convention power to appoint a State
Central Committee, to consist of thirteen mem
bers.
The tbanits •of the convention were then
tendered to the officers; when .
On motion, the sunvention adjourned sine
die.
The Africa, which left Liverpool on Septem
ber 1, arrived at Halifax early on Tuesday
morning, and the Arago, which left Southamp
ton on August 26, entered New 'York during
the afternoon of the same day. By these ar
rivals we have a week's later news from Eu
rope. The details are not of much importance.
Sebastopol was not taken, but the French
Emperor announces,.. in a letter to general
Pelissier, that he has certain information
that the Russians cannot hold out during
the winter, and that he hopes the pity will
soon fall under the blows of the allies." This
royal news did not seem to inspire the General
with any fresh vigor,cor up to the latest tmi
meat the positions ofUthe beseigers and the
beseiged remained just the same as they did
at the date of our previous advices. On the
27th of August Prince Gortschakoff wrote that
the allied lire was occasionally stronger, but
the state affairs were unaltered. In fact the
allies dreaded a Russian attack on the Ceme
tery works and were concentrating their
energies to meet it. They report that the
Russians lost over nine thousand men, killed,
wounded and prisoners, in the battle of Trak
tir Bridge, and claimed the result of that
engagement as a decisive victory. On the
28d of August the French soldiers carried a
Russian ambuscade on the glacis of the Mala
koff tower, and continued to hold the works.
The.Russinns had doubled the garrison of the
tower and.were prepared for a desperate de
fence'. The allied commanders had one hun
dred and fifty new mortars in position, hut
they still deny that they had commenced a
regular bombardment on the 17th of August.
They say that their fire was merely to cover
their works of approach. General Simpson
insisted on resigning his command of the Eu.
glish forces, and Omar Pasha was fulfill:
ordered to Asia, where the Turkish army,
in a bad condition owing to the close hives
ture of Karr by the Russians.
From the Baltic we learn that the lot
attack on Sweaborg was in fact a loss to th
allied naval forces. The fortress, as such
was uninjured. The Russian gunboats fret
Riga had fought two English war vessels, bu
we are not informed of the result. Six Rus
Man gunboats from Cronstadt bad, on Augur
15th, attacked three British ships of war, an
the engagement lasted for two hours, but th
damage done by either party was small.
Queen Victoria arrived at Portsmouth (En
gland) on the 28th of August, from Paris.—
Previoue to her departure from that city sl
visited the tomb of the great Napoleon, but e
the ceremony took place at nightfall it we
not very fUlly described. General Canrebbei
was invested with the order of the Bath. Ht '
Majesty received the wartneat demonstration'
of respect from the French people up to th

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.
Outrage upon the Right of Citizneship.
Mr. Entlion:—" 'lke price of liberty is
eternal vigilance." It 9s the duty, therefore.
of every good citizen to watch closely any in
fringement on the rights of eitizeship end to
condemn arid resist the same-whether the act
of a single tyrant or the tyrannical net of a
party. Within the last two weeks the Carlisle
Council of Americans have pursued a course
so arbitrary, so anti•republican, and so danger
ous to the free exercise ofAhe elective fran
chise, (the very keystone of - freedom). that it
becomes a duty to give it an emphatic con
demnation.
It is a well known fact that in this com
munity a number of persons have for some
fime been desirous of severing their connec
tion with that order. While many of them
favor its principles-they saw the danger of a
secret political organization and its liability to
he made the effective weapon of, low . petotfog
ging intrigue and trickery They therefore
desired to re•nssume the privilege of thinking,
acting and voting for themselves. according to
the standard of their own consciences and not
that of a conscience formed by the votes of a
majority. With these views some forty mem
bers of the Carlisle Council signed a written
request asking to withdraw front membership.
This was their right by the solemn compact of
the order with them. The application was
presented in the council at a recent meeting
and it was refused on the ground that the
personal presence of each one desiring to with
draw cm, necessary. Never before was such
a thing dreamed of. The invariable rule has
been to grant the right to withdraw upon op
pliclition through any member of the council.
without the personal presence of the applicant.
The course now pursued was a - subterfuge of
la wyer-iike sharpness, designed to browbeat
and intimidate those desiring to withdraw
from asserting their right so to do. It suiti d
the leaders to keep all the members of the
order to work like "dumb driven cattle" in
the harness to effect their designs and they
determined to prevent the stampede by a
resort to all and any means legal or illegal.—
They knew the disposition of the honest part
of their members to return to open day light
politics. They feared the dissolution of their
order, for with it ended their own importance .
and power.
The outrage upon freedom however was not
yet completed. It was resolved, in defiance'
of a contract under oath to and with each in
dividual member, that his name should be
kept secret, to publish in their organ, the
American, a one sided account of their doings,
hoping by this publicity to deter men in their
concientious desire to withdraw. Let any one
read the article in the last week's American.
headed "Withdrawals from Carlisle Council,"
and mark the monstrous design of the leaders
of the new party to libel men into remaining
in their ranks. While in that article the
names of the withdrawing members are printed
in full, mark too, how those active in illegally
preventing further withdrawals shrink from
allowing their own names to appear iu print.
Why conceal themselves under the cloud of
secrecy if they are not ashamed of• what they
were doing? How much more satisfactory
and how much fairer would it have been if a
full minute of their proceedings had been
given. For instance, thus:—At a meeting of
Carlisle Council, held ou Saturday evening the
Bth day of September, the President, Mr.
Mind your P's and Q's, (or any other name
that suits the fact) in the chair, the subject
of allowing members to withdraw on written
application being before the council, it was
on motion of Mr. Browbeater, (or any other
name that suits the fact) Resolved, That per
sonal application was necessary for withdrawal
from membership. Whereupon Messrs. A. B.
C and D., withdrew upon leave given. The
public could in this way know the actors and
judge some what of their motives, and cer
tainly .if they removed the veil of secrecy
from part justice required a full exposition.
But no this did not suit. They therefore re
solved to libel the men retiring by publishing,
their names, while they still cover their own
sweet countenances with the mantle of dark
ness. r ls not. all this monstrous? Is it not a
gross violation of the rights of independent
citizenship? Does it not require the emphatic
condemnation of every honest man? Whigs of
the order, we conjure you by the purity of
your ancient political faith—we conjure yen
by the memory of that great leader who would
"rather be right than be President"—we con
jure you by your love for your country and
your reverence for the principles of freedom,
to dissolve your connection with a party so
regardless of right and so dangerous to liberty.
Whigs rally to your 'old standard. All that is
good in the new order is inscribed on that
banner and flung to the broad light of day.
All that is evil should be covered over with
the oblivion of night and shunned by good
citizens.

WHOLESALE RODDlStre.—Some astounding
developements were made at Pittsburg on
Saturday last, relative to exteueite large 'es
of old railroad iron belonging to the to
Works. A laborer in the employ of a. aon
hat)d dealer, named Henry Niehols,• had s
et
for his wages, awl before the justice of the
peace, gave some hints implicating Nichols
and several other persona living along the
line ,ef the railroad, in extensive larcenies of
