Our Platform and Principles.
We do declare to the people of these United
States the objects for which we contend in po
litical action, are :
Ist. That we demand and shall attempt to se
cure the repeal of all laws which allow the in.
troduction of Slavery into Territories once con
secrated to freedom ; and will resist by every
constitutional means the existence of Slavery
in any of the Territories of the United States.
2d. We will support by every lawful means
our brethren in Kansas in their constitutional
and manly resistance to the usurped authority
of their lawless invaders, and will give the full
weight of our political power in favor of imme
diate admission of Kansas to the Union as a
free, sovereign and independent State.
3d. Believing that the present National Ad.
ministration has shown itself to be weak and
identified with the progress of the slave power.
to national supremacy, with the exclusion of
freedom from its territories and with unceasing
civil discord—it is a leading purpose of the
"Journal" to oppose and overthrow it.

High Figures.—We made a laughable
typographical error in our last week's is

ing." Instead of making the American
party number its millions, we have it fifty
millions."
Huntingdon Foundry.--We invite the
attention of the public to the card of this
well known establishment, in another part
of our paper. Under the management of
its present enterprising, go-ahead and gen
tlemanly proprietors, Messrs. J. NI. Cun
ningham & Bro., it mnat and will receive
the patronage of the public. We hope our
farmets and all others will call at the Hun
tingdon Foundry, when they need any ar
ticle in this line.
Smith Works•—Colon the cheap book-
seller, has presented us with a copy of the
Miscellaneous works of Richard Penn
Smith, collected by his son, Horace W.
Smith. Price .1,26.
Mr. Smith was well known as an able
and first class writer, and the present neat
ly gotten up volume embraces many of
his most able writings. The book is for
sale at Colons and we recommend it to the
favorable notice of our citizens.

book for Nay has been received. A. H.

lishment to Watson & Co., by whom it will
hereafter be published. Terms as usual,

The Insurgents.
Our Insurgent American friends, appear
to be divided as much amongst themselves,
and to issue as many and various pronon•
ciamentos as do the Mexicans, since Santa
Anna left them. In New Jersey they have
pronounced for that emptiest of all bubbles
Commodore Stockton. In New York, find
ing that the nominees of the slave-drivers
at Philadelphia, cannot walk the plank of
public opinion, they are declaring for Geo.
Law, avering that George was cheated out
of the nomination at Philadelphia, through
the frauds of the South Americans ; and
George is not the man to forgive this. We
have not henrd that the insurrection has
extended beyond New Jersey, and certain
narrow limits in New York and Pennsyl
vania. The general peace of tho Ameri
can Order is not disturbed, and its members
are preparing silently for the great battle
against the encroachments of the slave
power. We fear that many of the insur
gents will be found among the Persians,
when on the morning of :he November E
lection we shall advance to defend the
Thermopylre of liberty, at the pass of 30
30 in Kansas.
In Pennsylvania, Col. S. S. Wharton,
seems to be acknowledged on all bands to
be the head chief of the insurrection—and
indeed we are compelled bye sense of jus
tice to the gallant Colonel to say publicly
through the Journal, that in all the Insur
gent meetings that we have attended, the
Colonel has moved and supported "them"
prononciamentos, by his speeches, with
his acoustomed well known ability. It is
said bylome that the numerous fricods of
the Colonel intend to return him to the Sen
ate next October, if lie will accept ; if so,
he will no doubt again arouse the lively
sentiments of his constituents, particularly
those of Huntingdon County who cannot
have forgotten his former services.
The Troubles in South Florida,
. _
On the afternoon of the 6th inst., seven
Indiana who had attacked Dr. Braden's
residence and plantation, on the Manatee
river on the 31st of March, were overta
ken by a party of Florida volunteers.—
They were encamped on the south bank
of the Big Charley Apopka creek, and
seemed to be confident of security. The
volunteer, covered by a very dense ham
mock, crossed the creek, and stretching
along the bank, approached so near the
savages as to overhear their conversation.
They fired a volley at them, killing two
Indians on the spot, and the remainder re
treating to the creek, two. were shot while
dead, and their bodies sunk immediately.
The other three were wounded badly, but
escaped.
Slaves for Kaaaas.—Every week
droves of slaves are being taken into Kan
sas. The South are determined not to
loose by any neglect the advantage they
gained when the Locofoco party opened
that territory to them. Slavery they are
determined to force upon Kansas, and they
are prepared to use every means, to accom
plish that end. Yet in tho face of all
these things the Locofoco presses of Penn
sylvania have the audacity to tell their
readers that there is not now, and never
was any danger of Kansas becoming a
Slave State. What sublime impudence!
Read the following from an exchange pa.
per :
We perceive, by the St. Louis paper, that a
steamer arrived there from Louisville, with
from fifty to sixty slaves, belonging to families
who are on their way from Kentucky ip Kan
zas. The slaves were persons of all ages, sex
es and shades of color. The Evening News
states that, since the opening of the river, full
five hundred slaves have arrived from the Ohio
river, on their way to Kanzas.
A Southern Movement:—ln the Mis
sissippi Legislature, a day or two since,
Mr. Stark called up his resolutions touch
ing Presidential elect ion of 1856. They
declare that if all the National Conven
tions refuse to nomminate Presidential
candidates who are sound on the Slavery
question it is proper for the people of the
State Irrespective of party, to meet in
primary assemblies and send delegates to a
State Convention to nominate an electrocal
ticket pledged to vote for men who recog
nize the constitutional rights of the South.
They also invite other Southern States to
unite in a similar movement. A day was
fixed for their consideration.
Ilumanity.—We give below a speci
men of the law which the 'American' and
its company propose to establish in Kan
sas. No north, no south, no east, no west.
A SLAVE BEAT TO DEATIL—We learn from
Grenada, Miss., that Mr. 11. Talbert, of thot
place, had a negro whipped to death by his
overseer, on Thursday or Friday last. It al,
pears the negro had become guilty of some of
fence, for which Isis overseer alum pled to elms

and the Senate then, at a quarter to 11,
A M., adjourned sine die.

Foreign News.
The Baltic's news received the ovo
Meek, possesses the highest interest. The
treaty of peace was signed at Paris on
Sunday, the 80th ult. Paris tees illumin
ated, end throughout France and England
the rejoicings were both general and en.
thusiastic. A number of questions in re
gard to the disposition of affhirs in the
East remain for future settlement. Some
difficulty was created in the Peace Confer
ence by (bunt Cavour calling attention to
the state of Italy. In England Parini
mpnt bad reassembled, and Lord Palmer
ston had officially announced the conclu
sion of peace. In London the Lord May.
or had issued a proclamation to the same
effect. In the Crimea the armistice had
been continued, and intimate relations had
been established between the armies so
recently hostile. From Italy we have
dark news. The rigor of Austrian tyrany
had been greatly increased, and in Parma
and Tuscany the most terrible despotism
prevailed.
The steamship Africa arrived at New
York on Saturday, bringing three days la
ter intelligence than the Baltic. The
most important feature of news is a report
that had reached England, that an im
mense ice field had been seen two hundred
miles south of the great Banks of New.
foundland, and that in the midst of this
I field a light was seen at night, which con
jecture attributes to the missing steamer
Pacific. The Peace Congress continues
its sitting at Parrs. Peace ltd been pro
claimed at St. Petersburg, and had been
well received.
35e License Law,
In the Ifouse ou Thursday, the bill de
claratory of the recent License Law was
taken up and passed finally. It specifies
that the bonds required under the tenth
section of the act, shall be held as security
for the payments of all fines, penalties and
costs imposed on the principal obligor for
any breach of the act, and no more of the
penal sum shall be collected than will cov.
er such tines, penalties and costs. The
fees to be paid to the clerk, in addition to
the fees for advertising shall be one dollar
for all his services in the matter of each
application. Any person fined under the
20th and 30t4 sections, who shall fail to
pay the lame shall stand committed until
payment is made with costs. The other
sections refer to granting licenses in Lu•
zerne county.
"Segola, Segola 1"—It is really pite
ous to hear the calls of the "Huntingdon
American" every week, for aid. It is al
ways "money, money !" "help, help!"---
No use, not a "Seg" is returned. We
are proud of our patrons, who 'toe the
mark' without a whisper from us. 'Case
why, they're 'se-ound eggs."
OHIO STATE CONVENTION.
We publish below the proceedings of the
Ohio State Council of the American Party,
that our readers may see what a similarity
of slave sentiment pervades all the large
cities, Cincinnati has an immense trade
on the lower Mississippi with the Slave
ocracy, in sugar and molasses, and therefore
cries out, pray thee have me excused."
The coital) ocracy of Philadelphia, exclaim
"we have bought a bale of cotton, and we
must needs go and prove it; we pray thee
have us excuseti." New York shrieks out
"I am married to the nigger -driver, and
therefore I cannot come." An] so are all
our commercial cities afraid of offending
their masters of the South. This senti
ment even extends to the trading portion
of Boston, and has a feW feeble imitators
in the "ancient borough" of Huntingdon.
The Convention was called to order by Lieut.
Governor Ford. The question of interest to
he decided is that of the Presidency. The de.
legates front Hamilton County are nearly, if not
quite unanimous for Fillmore and the Phila.
depldia platform. It in also said that some of
the strongest anti-slavery counties, such as
Champaigne and Aughtize, have delegates hero
OR the same Ride, but no one believes that they
represent truly the sentiments of their constitu•
cuts. I understand that there are 1,260 Coen
cils in the State, and each Connell is eutitletLto
send a, delegate to this Convention.
Governor Ford opened the meeting by sta.
ting that he was a delegate to the Philadelphia
Convention. The course he took there was
well knows. In that convention the principles
of the American party were lost sight of—eve.
rything was made suliservtnt to Slavery. He
hoped, in their delilwrations to•day, that good'
feeling and good order would prevail.
Alter the appointment of committees, the
convention adjourned to 2 o'clock, C. a.
The Committee on the state of tbo Order
made two reports. The majority report opens
with the following preamble:
My:at:As, The American Organization in
Ohio had its origin in, and has been maintain.
ed tl.n • purposes of reform:
And . whereas, a true regard for the honor of
the American natm-, the security of American
right, and the prosperity of the American pen•
plc require asteadfast maintenance of the great
principle of freedom upon which American in•
stitutions ore bused--
We, therefore, the Delegates of the Councils
of the American order in Ohio, in Stote Council
assembled, fully approve of the action of those
delegates from Ohio in the Notional American
Council and Convention recently assembled at
Philadelphia, iu refusing to accept the platform
or support the nominations thenand them mnde
and WE hereby repudiate those nominntions,
and embrace this occasion to reaffirm substan
tially the platform adopted by the State Coun
cil at its session in Cleveland in June last, as
follows:
Then follows n declaration of principles of
the American party of Ohio, among which is
the following:
'Slavery is local, not national. We oppose
its extension into any of our territories, and the
increase of its political power by the admission
orally Slave States ur otherwise—aim we de
mand of the General Government an immedi
ate redress of the great wrongs which have-been
inflicted upon the nauso of 17r00d , 00 and the
American character by the repeal of the Min
souri Compromise, and the introduction of
Sla
rcry into Kansas, in violation of law, by the
force of arms, and the destruction of the elec.
tive franchise.'
The minority report taken ground against the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, but recom
mends sustaining the Demolitions of Fillmore
and Donelsou.
EVENING SF.SSION,
Eleven o'clock.—The Convention has just
adjourned, atter a stormy session of more than
three hours. Debate was li uitud tofive minute
speeches.

Plr. Ware oared resolutions, as a substitute
for it; endorsing the nominations ; whieh were
voted down by a yea and nay vote of 13.1 to It.
The majority report was then accepted by
vote at large.
Dr. Wright, of Cincinnati, then claimed that
the Nationality of the American party was de.
stroyed, and asked to have the State Charter
given up to tho minority ; which motion was
laughed down.
K. resolution was then offered thanking the
delegates who hod retired front the Philadel•
phia Convention and repudiated the mullion;
thins and the 'Manna]. Pending this, Mr.
Ware, of Cincinnati, made aspeech denouncing
the,men who had voted furthe majority report,

COMMUNICATION.
Messes. EDITORS s—ln the last America?, I
see that my name is announced as having been
one of the speakers in vindicating resolutions in
favor of Fillmore and Donelson ; this assertion
and the use of my name in this connection, is
evidently intended to make me a party to a
notnination in Philadelphia which I spurn and
contemn—it is a flagrant misrepresentation of
my course and an attempt to place me before
what friends I may have, no unstable, and cal.
culated to destroy my reputation for political
honesty. An attempt it is to show that lam
not in the American party ; they evidently wish
to make it appear, that although I withdrew
from the Philadelphia fizzle, or nominations as
they call it, that I had already come into their
measures in supporting resolutions anti•Ameri
cau, and subversive of !very principle which
our party contends for; and should make the
impression that I spoke in favor of them, and
was a participator in all that was done. Now
this is a base prevarication, a false unfounded
and insolent trick, and I fling back with unmit
igated contempt, the vile misrepresentations
and they know in their hearts it is false, and
they know well that I was not applauded, as
that paper would insinuate, but on the contrary
when I attempted to snake even an explanation
of the course pursued by myself with a majori
ty or the Pennsylvania delegation, I was insul
ted. I merely wanted to State a very fewfitels
respecting those resolutions, when I was inter
rupted by the chairman, who claimed that I
had no right to speak, and rudely interrupted
me—as I was opposed to Fillmore and Panel
son. His rising to trample down the right of
free speech, was the watchword, no doubt, then
commenced the hooting, stamping, yelling and
clapping that would have drowned the voice of
a tempest; a horrible yell that would have con
founded even Donelson and his hundred nigger
slaves. And both the editors, with some very
silly people about this town conducting them
selves its this most disreputable manlier, insult.
Mg not nie, but the great principles of the par
ty whirls claims the right of free speech as a
cardinal virtue. For myself, I had intended, if
I had been permitted to say, that the true Ame
rican party had not yet made her nominations,
and that their resolutions were incompatible
with the American obligation—but I was not
suffered even this privilege in this pro-slavery,
pro-catholic assembly. That I could have been
in favor of such treachery against my own con
science is absurd. I deny in the most empha
tic language the editor's assertion, that I spoke
in favor of the resolutions and was applauded,
and say now that the putting of toy name
among others Re one,oftlicit speakers approving
of Fillmore and Donelsonancl those resolutions
is a basibuttempt to deceive—it is false, and
they know it is false, and they how that I
know it is false. Could it be supposed for a
moment that I, with the large majority of all
the Delegates from the Tree States, leaving
but forty-one in the Convention from the Free
States, all of us having withdrawn on the very
grounds of a tyrannical majority composed of
slave.linidsss ...a woman Catholics forcing up
o❑ us the minority, their slave oppression and
claiming the right through the power of an un
scrupulous majority to carry slavery into Elan
sas or any Territory now free—fur this reason
and the admission of Roman Catholics into the
convention, all the New England States, Penn
sylvania, and all the Northern and Western
States, to their honor, withdrew front a class of
men culling themselves Americans, but w•hu
claim that slavery is national and Americanism
sectional. And aftei all this that paper called
American attempts clisingeniou sly to make the
impression that I was its favor of this fraudulent
nomination made by slave-holders and the Be
mists Church. I seem and contenm, I spit up
on the contemptible fraud of both these editors.
Whenever the American party makes its noini
, nation, I as an American man, feeling and ow
, ing allegiance to the American cause, with
what little ability I may have, will support
and sustain it ; but not until then. 'Won't be
compelled to rat dirt by the slave-holders or
their oily the Gallican church of Louisiana.—
But Itt us look a little at those resolutions that
are so applauded, and which I um made by the
insinuations of this "American" paper to sup
port. One of them says that "in Fillmore and
Donelson ,ve have men that know no North, no
South, no East, no West." Now what is this
nno•e or less, than that Slavery may be consti
tutionally curried into Kansas or ally Territory
north of 3G° 30'. This can't be blinked, say
whet they may ; this resolution fixes its author
and all concerned au the pro-slavery platform.
But here is another resolve, hew true the say
that. "whom the Gods intend to destroy they
first make mud;" hear this, gentle reader, par.
ticularly you who have under the obligations
you have taken looked at the American stars
and stripes—and in your enthusiasm have ling.
ged them to your busotn,and have declared that
no foreign despot should ever pollute the sacred
soil of America; we are now called upon, yea,
called upon by men of Huntingdon to sanction
us Americans the following resolution—" Re.
solved that we approve of the late American
Convention held in Philadelphia, in admitting
the Catholics of Louisiana and that we only op.
pose Catholics who believe in the right of the
Pope's civil rule in this country." Shade of
Luther I Spirit of Lafityette I 1 invoke you—
what meant thy warning voice, that 'if ever
the liberties of this countryshould be destroyed
it would be by Romish priests." Andyuu were
a Frenchman. Belermane, thou undoubted
casuist, match thisl Where is Demos, the
greatest sophist. He hides his face in his cowl
in amazement. Stand forth thou prince of all
Jesuits, Loyalla, and tell us has it been left for
some cloistered monk in the nineteenth century
to say "That Gallicanism is not of the Latin
church, and that the Latin church is divided?
Oh, no, history in all its disclosures of the Ro
mish church from Leo X to the present day,
claims unwavering obedience—spiritual and
temporal from all its followers, the same in
L. inns us in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New
York or Boston. But the Americas party holds
to no such doctrine as the above; it holds
that there is a North us well as a South, and
that Slavery cannot he carried into Territory
now free, and that the Latin Galilean Church
is Romish Popov. It seems the editors of the
Anterican have jumped into the lightning train
and truth got out at the first station.

Term of the Expected Peace.
Although there were ounce rumors in Eng•
land to the effect that difficulties had sprang up
in the Paris Conferences from the demand
Prussia backed by Russia to be admitted to sign
the treaty of peace on the same footing and in
the same character as if Prussia had been a
party to the alliance throughout, yet it was be
lieved that the apparent obstacle to final pact
ficatiun would be concluded on the following
terms, to wit:
1. Russia consents to the neutralization of
the Black Sea. 2. Sebastopol is not again to
become a war depot, and the reconstruction of
the fortresses is prohibited. 3. Nicolaieff is
to be reduced to a commercial port. 4. Russia
is to abandon her protectorate of the Principal.
hies. O. Russia renounces certain Territories
in Bessarabia which leaves the navigation of
the Danube perfectly free. 6. A Commission
is to be appointed to trace the new frontier in
this district. 7. The fact of a Russian soldier
passing the Pruth is to be looked upon as a
crusus belli by the contracting powers.
Such at least are the leading articles of the
expected treaty as they appear in the Paris
Sieele.
There is, however, one other little hindrance,
to a speedy and wished•for conclusion, viz
Turkey refuses to sanction the proceedings of
the conference It will be remembered by in
telligent readers that it was in behalf of Turk.
ish sovereignty in her own dominions that this
war commenced. This was the groat principle
which laid firmly at the bottom of all the nego•
tiations preceding the war, and was the watch
word as the allies after the question had been
submitted to the stern arbritament of arms.—
In accordance with this idea, the Plenipotentia
ry of Turkey in Paris, has been formally order
ed to oppose any arrangement about the Prin
cipalities which would be in in any way preju
dicial to the sovereign rights of the Porte in
those provinces. Turkey denied the right of
ANY power to usurp her authority in the Princi
palities ; and it was not to grant the allies a
right whose existence she denied that the war
was undertaken. Tho Times in discussing the
question gives a despatch confirming a rumor
which had been current to the effect that the
Porto had refused to sanction in some parties
.lars the proceedings of the Paris Conferences,
.d adds :
"These:lsar° of the Principalities was the
cause of this war, and must be the first step iu
any new aggression of Russia. It is, therefore,
the duty of the Allies to settle theuestion on a
sure basis, and build up a politicallfubric which
will give content to the inhabitants.preserve as
fur us possible the rights of the Porte, and with.
out giving cause of offence to any powerful
neighbor, InJure peace and tranquility to Eu.
The issue thus made is still further complim
ted by the people of those provinces who are
not satisfied with the government under which
they had lived previous to the war and do nut
agree with the Porte's views concerning them,
and who are likewise not content that their
' country should be subjected to the protectorate
of Europe. Owing to these difficulties it was
rumored that the organization of the Principal.
ities would riot lie included in the treaty but be
settled by some future discussion, and thus dia.
severed from the questions which have in the
course of the sear taken precedence of this one.
In speaking of the position which the Turkish
Plenipotentiary has assumed at Paris relative
to this question the Times says :
It seems that Turkey whose armies were or•
dered to and fro by the allied Generals, and
whose assent to diplomaticarrangements it was
hardly thought necessary to ask fur, ffis resolved
once more to assert a will of its mon." Wile•
the r the Porte will have the courage to Pepe.
vero see know not, but at present its policy
seems to be uphold the independence and
integrity for which the allies hate declared that
they fought.
Thus when the question of the union of the
provinces came up fur disettadun in Paris, a
protest against any interference of the kind
was telegraphed from the Porte. It would
seem that he asks nothing more now than he
had at the commencement of the war. Will he
he forced to accede to terms which he refused
to accept then?—Piltsburty Cont. Journal.
