Does the American Party Desire Union
In order to-test the sincerity of our Fillmore
friends on the subject of a union against the
Locofocos, we assisted, last week, in arranging
a Union Meeliny, to be held in Iluntingdon on
Friday night. The conference that called the
ine,ting was composed equally of Fillmore and
Fremont voters, and about an equal number of
each was informed of the time and place ap.
printed for the proposed caucus, sad of its ob
jecl. Tho Fremont men appeared promptly
on the ground. but we regret to say, that not a
Fillmore man made his appeararco I And we
regret still more the fact, that the failure was
caused by Fillmore offico•seekera, who busied
thenlselves all evening to deter honest men of
their party from coming forward and accepting
the olive branch held out to them I A. W.
Benedict and David Blair, Esqrs., were prowl.
itrtqL goftttelrireiberti , ie'd liiraelfcon;pccuMin
by openly, tauntingly, and wills an air of defi
ance, declaring that ho sought no linion, nod
desired no onion with the Republicans ! I We
are aware that this trill appear strange, if not
incredible to our country readers. It is ne
vertheless true, and susceptible of proof; for
"this thing was not done in a corner," but on a
public thoroughfare of the town, and in hearing
of competent witnesses of all parties.
Now, the question will naturally arise in eve
ry
honest mind, what could impel Messrs. Ben
edict and Blair, to this arrogant, ilißalle course?
We answer, they are, as usual, both candidates
for office, the one for a neat in Congress, the
ether for State Senator. They distrust the
free, untrammelled voice of the people and rest
all their hopes of success in the limit:Ming
convention on the political control which they
fancy they exercise in the American orgartiea
tion. Hence they wish to limit the delegate
election to members of the Order; but if suc
cessful in the Convention, they will then seek
a union with us to secure their election. What
folly, what presumption I Exclude the Fre
mont voters from a participation in the prima
ry meetings, and then complacently ask thorn
to support the very men that rejected their of
fers of co•oporatiott ! Is not this the climax of
audacity? Bet with our surprise and regret
at flee facts we are recording, there is mingled
no fear of the conseqnences. The honest mas
ses of the county will not blindly follow the
lead of a couple of worn•out offieehunters; but
will cordially unite in forming a county ticket
that will rommand the respect and concentrate
the efforts of all the friends of free speech and
free territory. The people are beginning to
move in the matter, and demagogues must
stand aside, or at least keep their selfish ends
and aims subordinate to the public good.
Slar We are authorized to announce that
Gen. John Williamson of this place, will he
n candidate for Congress, subject to the decis
ion of the Republican Americans of the coon
ties composing this Congressional District.
Mr. W. stands fair mid square upon the great
question of the d.ty. Ho is pledged,—and we
tabu his past course as a guarantee for the fu
ture—to freedom, free speech, free men, free
Kansas. If elected, we are confident that Gen.
Williamson will be a representative worthy the
freemen whom be reprmients. The times re
quire firm-nerved, true hearted men, and these
qualities are happily blended in Mr. Williamson.

deeming the spending of snooty in that way, !
as more elective, than it would be if spent in ,

pro-slavery principles. Does it used more than ,
this to convince any honest Fillmore man that
in supporting Mr. Fillmore he is only assisting
Buchanan, Douglas & Co., to carry out their
threat, " WE WILL SUBDUE YOU I"
What share of this fond our . neighbor of the
"American" will kg allowed to draw, we cannot
say, but we think it should be considerable, as
it has been a rough business to ride against the
popular current of freedom, now sweeping over
the country, and in doing so, great•loas of pat

CALL FOR A COUNTY CONVENTION
WITHDRAWN.
Oil a consultation of the member; of the
County Committee of the friends of Ircermat
and Free Kansas of our county, in referimae to
the holding of a Convention in Huntingdon on
the 12th day of August next, for the purpose
of nominating a county ticket and doing suet,
other business an the interests cf the party may
require, it mas
. . .
Resolved, That, inasmuch as it is the only
desire and object of the friends of Fremont to j
contribute to the &LICITss of the great princi•
pies of free speech, nod not to build op a parti
cider exclusive party, at the expenso of dividing
and distracting the ranks of thtnt r pacition to
the sectional pro-slavery party headed by Bo- I
clulan, Pierce, Brooks, & Co.; unless forced
into such course by the friends of Mr. Fillmore.
That the call for a convention of our friend,;
made in the Journal of last week, would have
the effect to prevent our frienis in the did'Aont
districts of the county from attending the Ante.
riean elections and thereby produce an exclu
sive Fillmore convention, anti bring about the '
very division nod distraction we are to avoid. •
That as conciliution and harmony necessa
ry to insure the success of our cherished prin
ciples, we deem it better to await the action of
the American Convention on the 12th August
1
J hoping and believing that the members of that
Convention will pursue broad and liberal ground
in forming n ticket, and recognize each wing
of the opposition to 11.11:1.11.
I Therefore, the call for a 'fleeting of the
friends of Freedom 4plWrpuinut.th.canv,idion
Journal, is premature and now uncalled fur,
and we do hereby annul the same.
I'rarF 1, 'P. , . it is tho duty of all the friends
of Freedom who have the right to vote, in the
dinmit districts, to attend the election of del
egates on Saturday the gthof August next, cal
led by the Americans, so they may he properly
represented in the convention of the 12th of
August.
. . . _
Prso/rO, That we earnestly ask that Con.
vention to pursue a just and liberal policy in
regard to the unfortunate division of opinion
which exists nu the great national question, and
pledge ourselves if such policy be pursued we
will sustain the nomination of the convention.
Pcdolima, That as we believe all the friends !
of Fremont and a great portion of the friends
of Fillmore are in favor of freedom of speech
in the Halls of Congress and the admission of
Kansas with a free constitution, we think it not I
too much to ask of the Convention, in its bal•
luting for Congressman, to give us no lean tier
that ollice who is not well•icnovn to be uuwa•
veringly right on those great questions, and flat
mode of anuglifacematerial.
Resolved, That the members of the Comity
Committee will meet at the Court I louse on •
Wednesday the 13th day of August neat at
o'clock, I'. 111, to consult together and deb. r•
mine whether • our wing of the party has been
treated fairly or not in the Convention of the
previous day, and take such action in the pre.
miser as may be most advisable. All the mcm•
hers are particularly requested to be present at
that time and place. Signed by the
Committee.

IS THIS TRUE I
We have received the following letter of in.
quiry from a prominent American of Birming
ham. Will seine knowing one answer?
.MES,PS. Editors have been told therein
actually residing in your borough, a candidate
for nomination to Congress, by the American
party, who, on being interrogated concerning
his course, if elected, on the great question of
freedom in Kansas, replied, "Mot he a,'
yet road, up his mind on that que,tien I" I
do not believe the story ; Lot if it shoold Le
true, you should know it and point him nut
publicly, so we may run no risk of having any
dough-14u, stuff saddled upon us unawares.
Birmingham, 26 July, 1856. P.
We may reply to our correspondent thus.—
We hear of but two candidates for Congress,
in this borough—Gen. John Williamson and
David Blair, Esq. Mr. Williamson we know,
is pledged for free Kansas, nod we have never
made any inquiry about Mr. Blair. We shall
Le able to answer the query, however, neat

Jr (Le
County Nominations. •
Mn. EDITORS :—Tho time is at band
when something should be done in reference to
our county ticket. The opposition to the Bm
elm. or pronto tree party, seem to be divid
ed on the Presidential question, but whether
that division of ipinion will operate in such
manner as to place two separate tickets in the
field, depends altogether on whether each of
its wings can awl will exercise proper eerie
tory policy in reference to the formation of the
comity ticket. The importance of proper ac
tion in this matter is nt once apparent, nod pro
per consultation should be held on the subject.
Fremont in our section of the county, amongst
the members of the American organization,
seems to lie the choice, but at the same time
his friends seem willing to harmonize on local
matters as usual, and all they ask is that the
Co
County Convention shall act impartially and
not attempt in its deliberations to proscribe men
for their honest views on the great notional
question. I, for one, wig say, that if the Am
erican County Convention will simply meet and
make its nominations of suitable men, without
enquiring whether such men be for Fillmore or
for Fremont, and leaving them at liberty to ex
ercise their own judgment in voting at the Pre
sidential election, and not attempt if: force the
expression of the delegates either in fhvor of
one or the other of the Presidential nominees,
I have no doubt we can all harmonize and tri
umphantly cayry . such ticket. But I must say,
that if proscription is the order of the day, and
the Convention attempt to control the party on
the national question and nominate exclusively
Filltnore men, the friends of Fremont both in•
side and out of the organization will be form;
into holding a convention of their own, and
throw their whole vote for a separate ticket.—
The necessity for harmony and proper concili
ation can be seen atones, and I hope the coun
try delegates when in convention, will not be
influenced in their action by i.ny of the few
political demagogues, who may fanatically and
unwisely advise a separate and proscriptive
policy. A FREMONT AMERICAN.
