But after the vote had been called, delegates front various States arose, and cbauged their tofSn in fev< r of -Mr. Di liaison.— The result Was tnnounced as follows: Fere y Walker 81 A. J. Donaison 131 A.H. 11. Stewart *2 j J. Gardner 1 2 Kenneth Itaynor 8 ; Mr Don aldson having received a majority of th: vot?s fjt t ie vice Presidency, was de flated duly nominated for that position. On motion and amid much applause, the nomination was made unanimous. A otion was made, and agreed to, thst a committee of Lre le appointed to wait upon the noaiiuees and inform them of their selection, and Messrs. A. 11. H. Stewart, of Virginia; Andrew Stewart,of Pennsylvania; Krastus Brooks, of New York: K. B. Bartlett, of Kentucky; Win. J. Karnes, of -Massachusetts, and the President of the Convention were appointed a Committee to perform the busiuess. Here cries for -Major Donalson, th* nominee for the Vice Presidency were made and that gentleman, coming forward, was received with cheers and applause. Mr. Poueisou said that ho was exceed ingly gratified at the honor conferred upon him, and begged leave to say that he accep ted the nomination tendered with a proper sense of the feebleness of powers ha pos- : gesscd. But he hopd that he might here after do more than he had yet bad an oppor- j tunity to perform to advauce the cause in , which all of those present felt so deep an ! interest. He had been chiefly known to i the American people from his connection with Gen. Jackson. From that great man , Le had learned the essential principles of; Americanism. That man had uttered ttie the sentiment which now met with sacli 1 general sympathy— that America should become more Americanised. The speaker : had been thirty years with General Jackson , and had speeches and letters from him by . the thousand. In 1532, General Jackson had fought ; the enemies of the enemies of the Uniuu, in his own best styls, which had utterly ! crushed for the time all ultraisiu. The i speaker said he was born iu a southern ' State. He was the owner of over one 100 i slaves. He loved the institutions of the ! South. But ha owed a debt of gratatude ; to the people of the North. At tba South I they claimed nothing that he would not I willingly grant to the North, the Fast,and j the West. lie had left, the Democratic 1 party. (A voice—tba Democratic party j left you!) Yes—that't so. (Appiause.)—l I left higher law men of that party. When he found that President Pierce was dispo sed to build up the South, as the South, and the North as the i\ortb, he had coneludud that tLe administration was one of ultraisms. > It was a combination to obtain power, with- : out carc as regards the administration of the affairs of the country, Tho Speaker | said that he had been 9hot at. ( Laughter, j Politically, he meant,because he bad joined the American party. He had seen that thsre WEs no hope of promoting domestic tranquility, or of protecting our foreign re lation* under the administration of Mr. Pierce, and he had joiueJ the organtz ition in the hope that these objects might be ac complished. With these hopes be had en tered the party, and he would do ail in Lis fmwer until this hope should be realized.— He accepted this nomination, hopiug that the result would justify the confidence placed in hiiu. Here Andrew Stewart arose and inquired if Gcu. Jackson w*re living now where would he bel With what party would he harmonize] Mr. Donelson replied —-With tho American party. He never uttered a single word adverse to the prin ciples we advocato. Aye, and not ouiy he but Clay and Webster, if living would be with us, and sanction the groat principles embodied in the American platform. He had been present during the sessions of the Convention, aud wbeu attempts had been made to disorganize the party, he had boon reminded of an anecdote of General Jack son. On the morning of the battle of tiie Bth of January, a messenger came to Gee. Jackson with the information that the leg islature was about to adjourn, for fear that the British would take the eitv. Tell Gov ernor Claiborne,said Jackson, to blow it up. And so ho [ the speaker) would say with re gard to the disorganize™, who wanted to disband the American party. He was no orator, but what ever he had of energy, talent,good will and devotion to Auierieau interests-, should be given to this cause, un til victory perched upon its banners. Tbe speaker then retired amid trmtendous cbeer iug. Loud erics were now made for Brownlow, ■ of Tennessee. Oa taking the stand in re-1 spouse, he said tliaf his speech on this nc- j casion would be, like all his speeches, 3hort ; and sweet like a roasted maggot. For ; seventeen years he had performed tbe dread ful service of editing a poliiteal paper, and he could say in that connection that his paper bad the largest circulation of any j political paper in Tennessee. He had fought hard and long for the Whig party, but ha had seen fit to ieave that organisa tion. Why, with .Villard Fillmore to lead and even with Josh Ciddings behind hits, we oould carry our Sratc. But with this large patriotic, greasy Tennesscean, (point ing to .Vajor Bonnelson,] the Pierce party will be a transcendental nothing. He ahould go home with tbe determina tion to jump higher, and squall louder than any man In Tnunessee, and woald open the bail at Knoxville, on Monday next (Ap plause and laughter.) It had been under stood as arranged that Major Doneisou would be putou the ticket with Andrew Jackson in big letters, and Hoaalnon invisible, aud then the old line Democrats would think ht old Hickory had eouw to life agaiu. He the* proposed the party ahould disperse, baa ing done the good work. General Piokett, of Tennessee, followed. He eulogized Major Donnleson, spoke of h.s own efforts to advance the cause, and pledged khe State of Tetinosseo for a tremendous major i'y for the American tick et. Ale* R. Eoteler loociUed the uostram in answer to repeaScd-calis. He supposed that the lody had resolved into a general rat 'daatioa meeting, to whieb be tra* agreed, tLnagh no actio a <>f tt Convention had I ecu taken to that effect. lie had occupied s*4'f i several times during the session* tit tie Co ;cei! and the ('ow-estion. Aid he had spoken boldly, according to what ware bit ideas of right. If he had said anything Larib to those who were consistently in favor of the American Party end the Union be regretted it. Hut bad no pardon to ask of those who catne into the Convention, in disguise Jo betray its principles. He pledg ed Virginia tor the ticket. He thought the party could get back the ten thousand Whig j votes that Wise alleged had elected^him. — During the recent election ho had been the first man On the stump in this cause, the longest in the field, and the last to leave the combat. He would only say to his | brethern be would go into the fight now with the saiut determination, and expressed ; the hope that those who had acted as one j mie* during the session of the Convention ' might part as friends. The speaker sat down amid considerable applause. Thomas A. K. Nelson, of Tennessee, then offered a resolution expressive cf the thar.ks of the Convention, the Presideut and Secre tajies, for the able and impartial manner in which they had discharged their duties, which was unanimously adopted. Mr. MaCune, of Virginia, said that the National Council bal adopted a platform ; which was satisfactory neither to the North i nor to the south. They had now a platform which was satisfactory to both, in the shape jof Fillmore and Donelaon. Ho moved that tbis Convention repudiate ail platforms. I The motion was scoundcd.aud tlireupou a great scene of confusion took piece, iu the midst of which the vote was taken on the motion, but it was impossible forauy one to decide whether it was adopted or rejected. The President was unable to tell, hut he thought it was adopted. Iu the midst of the confusion, a motion was made to adjourn sine die, and it prevailed. immediately afterword, Col. E. B. Bart lett, of Keuiucky, was called to the chair, and the assemblage present was organized as an impromptu ratification meeting. The President made a few remarks expressive of his hearty concurrence in the nomination, and of the determination of Kentucky to j elect the American ticket. Andrew Stewart, of Pennsylvania, fol lowed in an eulogistic speech of the candi date for President, A/11 lard Filluiore. He was succeeded by Air. Sheets, of In diana, and Mr. Breckenridge, of Missouri, in the same strain. Sheets said that he had been a member of the Cincinnati Con vention, which meeting he thought had saved the American party North. He could not pledge Indiana for the ticket, but he aud his friends would go home and do what they could. Meeting of Bolters from the Ameri- can National Convention.

Jennings Me Clark, of lowa moved that a com mittee of one from each State be appointed to prepare a protest or a series of resolu tions expressive of the eantiinenta of the bodv. Me. Clark said that bis objeot was to have sueh a protest prepared as would show that the other body was not national. A discussion arose on the motion Mr. l>uoham, of Coun., said that he would act with the present body, if there was to be no affiliation with the black Re publicans. lie was still an American, and would continue to bs so, but he could not stand on the Platform adopted by the other body. Mr. Booth, of Conn., was of the same opinion. He said that if Mr. Fillmore be nominated by the other Convention, and he would be willing to stand on tbe anti-No braska Platform, he could go for him. He had bolted frotn tbe June Convention, bo cause he could not ntand on the Platform with the twelfth section in it; be had bolted from the Convention to-day, because it had reftisod to repudiate the Nebraska iniquity; and without meaning to be irreverant, said be, I aweat that I will always bolt whenever that measure is sustained. Mr. Stawbaugh, of Ohio, thought it wonld not do for the Bolters to be too stiff. If the Republicans could meet them on the American Platform, he did not see why they could not embrace. He expeeted, he said, to atump tbe State next fall for the Republican measures. General Williamson, of Pa., said that he hoped that they would not be put before the people wrongfully. He thought that if they protested against the Nebraska bill, and against tbe man who had signed the infa mous Fugitive Slave bill, it would be enough. He wanted the body to go before the people as Americans, not as Republi cans. If, said hi, you put us before the peoplo as Republicans you destroy us. a? much as we are destroyed by the action of the other body, in refusing to repudiate the Nebraska bill. Aftersnoie further discussion, the motion to appoint a Committee prevailed, and the foilowing named werr elected:—Gov. Colby, N. H; E. .T. Nightengale R. I.; W. 8. Thurston, Vass.. Edmund Ferkine, Conn.: R. M. Riddle, Fa.; W. B. Allison, Ohio: L. 11. Webster, Iowa; H. 8. Jennings 111. The Bolters then adjourned to meet at eight o'clock, P. M. EVENING SESSION'. The Seccdiug Delegates met at 8 o'clock, at the same place—the -Merchants Hotel, There were quite number present who were not at *he afternoon session. Among them was Gov. Johnston, of Pa. The following protest wa3 presented by the Committee appointed in the at'ternooD, through the Chairman. .Mr. Riddle, of Pa. To the American Parly of Ihe Union.— The undersigned Delegates to the National Nominating Convention, now in session at Philadelphia, find themselves compelled to dissent from the principles avowed by that body. And holding the opinion, as they do, that the restoration of the -Missouri Compromise, demanded by the freeman of the North, is redress of an undeniable wrong, and the insertion of it in spirit at least indispensible to the repose of the country, they have regarded the refusal of that Convention to recognize the well defined opinions of the North, and of the Americans of the free States, upon this question, as a denial of their right and a rebuke of their .sentiments. They have therefore withdrawn from the Nominating Convention, refusing to parti cipate iu the propused nominations, and HOW address themselves to the Americans of the country, especially of the States they represent, to justify and approve their action; and to the end that nominations conforming to the overruling sentiments of the country on the great issue, may be reg ularly and auspiciously made, the under signed propose to the Americans in all the States, to usseiuble in their several State organizations, and that Delegates be sent to the Convention to meet iu the City of New Y'ork, on Thursday, the 16th elf June next; for the purpose of nominating candi dates lor President and Vice President of the United States. [The above wan adopted, as is bore wiih presented, with a few dissenting voices; but after the signatures were appended to it, we were unable to obtain possession of it, to make a copy of them.] The discussion was confined to a few of those present, auu was of a rather spicy character. Bome of the Delegates decided in favor of uniting with tbe Republicans, while others said that if that were done they could uot remain iu the organization. Adjourned.

Resolved, That inasmuch as the National Council, the legislative head ofrhe Ameri can Order, have adopted a platform of principles for our guidance, we therefore recommend all Americatta to enter into the several campaigns with a determination to carry out the principles and objects of our creed as banded down by the National Coun cil. Which was unanimously adopted. A resolution was also adopted authorizing the subordinate Councils to dispense with the oaths and obligations impo-ed by the ritual, and requiring only a pledge of honor to carry out the principles of the American party, and opposition to all parties who arc tu favor of a dissolution of the Union. On motion, it was resolved that when this Session of the State Council adjourn, it ad journ to meet at Ilarrisburg, ut the call of tne President, (Considerable feeling was erinoe l by one or two members from the country who were opposed to the adoption of the platform, an J at the height of the excitement, Lloyd Jones, of Montgomery, retired front the Council.

GAY LORD, WILLIAM HAMILTON, J. BROWN. SAM'L. CALDWELL. llarrisburg. Feb. 19, 1856. AMRItl\ TICKET. We informed our readers briefly, last week, of the nomination, by the National American Convention, at Philadelphia, of MILLARD FILLMORE, of New York, for President, and ANDREW JACKSON DONEL SON, of Tennossce, for Vico President. In accordance with the unanimous sentiment of the American party of Bedford County, and of a great many patriotic men of other par ties, we this week place their names at the head of our columns, and will yield them a cordial support, promising to spare no hon orable effort* to secure their well deserved triumph uext full. Mr. FILLMORE, in the troublous times of 1850, when treason was opeoly advocated, in different sections, was then at the helm of State, and through his patriotic efforts, and statesmanship, the impending storm wus allayed. To no man, of late years, does the patriotic, loyal citizen of this glorious natiou, owe a deeper debt of gmtitude than to Mr. Fillmore. Under his guidance the ship of State will be ably and faithfully steered, from the 4th of March next. No oue doubts that if he now occupied the chair of State, instead of the miserable imbeoilo who occupies it, all the ill-feeling which has been lately gotten up between the different sections of the Union, would have been avoided—the Missouri Compromise would have remained undisturbed. Happy is it for the American party, for its Nationality und success, that the pure and patriotic Filliuorc hts been chosen to marshal its host*. ID the nomination of Andrew Jackson Donclson, for tho Vice Presidency, the con vention was also quite fortunate. He was the adopted son of President Andrew Jack son. lie has been the aid of the old hero of New Orleans, was hi Private Secretary throughout all his Administration, and serv ed his country twice as a representative to different Courts in Europe. Gen. Jackson also made hint his executor and heir. 80 intimately was he blended with tho old he ro, that no other man in tho nation knows more of the Jackson Administration than he. He is acquainted with Governmental affairs, and all who arc acquainted with him know that he will fill the station for which be has been nominated with talent and dig nity. Ho left the present corrupt Loeofoco party in consequence of that party's deser tion of the old Jefferson and Jackson land marks. Truly he is in the only great repub lican party now. Old Jackson Democrats as well as Americans, can vote for him with the greatest consistency. This ticket will be the means of nation alising the American party, and quieting all sections of the Union. That it may be suc cessful, we most devoutly hope, and all lov ers of their country will yield it their sup port. Our friend of the Bedford Gazette, & few weeks ago, again the name of James Buchanan for the Presidency. As Mr. Dallas has been appointed to the mis sion to Engleud, it is not very likely that he will be at this plaoe soon, and Bowman will hardly take Buchanan's name down and hoist Dallas'! But it President Pierce should visit the Springs, and offer the same valuable consideration, he received from Mr. Dallas, the strong probability is, that he would haul down Buchanan's name and insert Pierce's, until Judgo Schell, (the reason of his present enmity to the Judge,) and a few others, would compel him to drop him, and replace Buchanan's name there! Truly the Gineral is a wonderful politician, when the almighty dollar is at stake! IHL m PIOTE! "For upwards of thirty years, Dr. Cham bers has been the Pastor of one of the most devoted Congregations in Philadelphia, which is the highest evidence of his PURI TY OF CHARACTER and powers as a Preacher.''— Bedford Gazette, Stpt. 1 at, mi. "For upwards of a quarter of a century Dr. C. has been the Pastor of a Congrega tion in Philadelphia, said to be one of the largest in that City. After hearing hiiu preach, we aro not astonished that his church should be constantly crowded dur ing the hours of service, neither are we as tonished that his fame as a speaker, should be familiar to the whole couutry, for he cer taiuly possesses powers in the pulpit given to but few men. His sermons are entirely extemporaneous, and hence he keeps the eyes of his bearers upon him, from the mo ment he commences until he closes. The people who have such a tuan to ministc to their spiritual wants, are favored indeed." "Some of our Whig friends iu Bedford don't like the Temperance Address recent ly delivered in Bedford, by the Rev. Dr. Chambers, and, to give force to their dis like, llioy have taken the liberty of gropsly misrepresenting his remarks, by trying to create the impression that it was entirely of a political character. Now, whilst it is true that Dr. Chambers is a Democrat in whom there is no guile, and has Dover at tempted to disguise the fact of his devotion to Democratic principles, yut we venture to assert that in a period of thirty years, dur iug which time he has presided over one con gregation in Philadelphia, no man can be found who will say that lie ever attempted to influence h s vote."— Bedford Gazette, July 28, 1854. "Mr, 0. is one of the EMINENT Di vines of the age, and wherever the sound of his voice is heard, the power of the Gospel is PROCLAIMED iu all its PURITY Bedford Gazette, July 13, 1855. Til ON THIS! "Above will be fonnd a letter purporting to have beea written by the Rev John Chambers, which we publish as one of the extraordinary productions of the age, t.nd to prove that the man who gets drunk on fanaticism is a mor® deplorable object than the man who gets drunk on I'arker whiskey! More intemperate language than that em ployed by Mr. Chambers, in this epistle, could not eio'iuate from the most confirmed drunkard in the State: and its effect upon the public mind will do more injury to the cause of temperance than Mr. 0. can do good should he be permitted to lecture and write ou this subject for the next fifty years. Because this Reverend gentleman cannot carrv his extreme measures on the subject of temperance, he recommends that the Le gislature pass a bill requiring the Commis sioners to erect troughs at all the cross roads in the State, and fill them with whis key for the use of Democrats, whom ho de nominates as below the bog specie-! Dis graceful sentiment to euienate from any man ; pat much more so to come from a Mnister of tbe Gospel. The inuendo that the Democratic members of the Legisla ture were bribed by tbe rumsellers, iu pas sing the bill for the repeal of the "Jug Law," is the strongest possible evidence thai Mr. C. was intoxicated, (by imbibing heavy draughts of fanaticism.) when be penned the puerile thought. The lowest grade cf drunkards want no better law, for their benefit, than the JUU LAW, which seems to have so strong a place in the affec tions of Mr. C.—and he and his especial co workers, in trying to fuston such a law upon the people, exhibits tbe strongest possible determination 'to entail tbe cvi's of intem perance perpetually npon this land.' Mr. 0- says it is 'evident to all that the Deuu cratic members of tbe Legislature are the friends of rum, and that rum is their friend.' Now, this remark was uncalled for nnd unjust."— Bedford Gazette, Feb. 119, 1856. Comment is unnecessary! & | I HT-Our readers have no doubt observed a largo advertisement in the Bedford Gaz ette, proposing for the mail contracts. This advertisement will never do the Government one particle of service as an obscure couutry paper like the Gazette, is scarcely ever seen or read by the olas.s of persons who take these contracts. But, we presume, as Mr. Bowman is one of the best blackguards in the State, he has got this advertisement, and will pocket about SSOO, and tho Government will receive no benefit for it! But the Post Master General—James Campbell—a rank Jesuit and Papist, only demands of those editors with whom be inserts bis advertisements, that they shall abuse, villify and misrepresent Protestants and the Protestant ministers, — Bowman's pen and tongue is good at that, and he has the advertisement! He will slander any ones,no matter who they are,if he is paid for it! No one doubts that this advertisement is the pay for his villanious abuse of some of the ablest and best of the Protestant clergy in the land! Verily he will have lis reward! At the Locofooo meeting io February, the following resolution was offered: "Resolved, That in George W. Bowman, [Bedford County has a good citiien, Penn sylvania an able Adjutant General, and Democracy a fearless champion." On motion of George W. Bowman the Resolution waa adopted! !! How very modest in the General I He bears his honors meekly! JIG LAW! At the late Locofoco meeting, they passed a Resolution iu opposition to the Jug Law; Now would it be believed that the present Legislature is Locofoco in both branches, and that they have not only not repealed this Jug Law yet, but that in the Senate, all the st-ingent License Laws offered in its stead, have been offered by Locofocos, and that the strong probability is that it will not be repealed at all! This shows the hypo crisy and deceit of the Locofoco party on this subject. The Locofocos have the power aud they will keep in force the Jug Law, or one a great deal more stringent! The Americans who voted against our party, last fall, on account of this law, and ttie misrepresentations of the editor of the Gal eae, and other lying scoundrels, will now coure back into our ranks, as they must see by this time the manner Locofocos took to deceive them. o""Tbe present Locofoco Legislature is now considered to be one of the most cor rupt that ever assembled in this State.— They have squandered their iiue uselessly: they have adjourned for several days at a time, and charged the Stare for time spent at bome;tl.ey have not vet pushed one geueral law; several of its Lo cofoco members are under arrest for th eir crimes; and there is no prospect of its adjournment for months yet; it is squandering the time ariu money of the people by thousands; and wo pray fIea VCD that Pennsylvania may never again be cursed with a Legislature so rotten and cori upt as a majority of its members are [EJ"U*o hsvo not jet been able to an nounce Mr. Bowman's answer to the ques tion, Who appointed the Locofoeo robber, June* A Drane, keeper of the Ar.onel at liarrisburg? When he answers the question, we will let our readers know. .'lppropos, the five hundred dollar advertisement in the Gazelle, would enable Mr. Bowman, if he wishes to do the fair thing with the •State, to pay the expenses of the trial caused by his appointment of this robber? Cor. Inquirer aril Chronicle HARRISBI.RO, Feb. 25, 185(5. .Mr. lldeior: —On the 20th, the day fix ed for the re-assembling of tbs Legisla ture, there was no quorum in the House, and rhev adjourned until next day. Since my last letter the liquor law ha# passed the Senate by the very decided vote of 20 to 11, there being two Senators ab sent on leave, both Americans. I forward ed you a copy of the bill as it passed, and it is consulted a "stringent lietnte law." By papers presented here, it seems the dej mocracy of ronr county want a **judicious license law" Quere: —do these phrase* wean the same thing? If *o, ii is hoped all parties will be satisfied. 1 *e in certain quarters it is alleged that the law permits no sales by less measure than one gallon.— This is a gross misrepresentation, which may a# well be corrected. Inn anu tavern keeper* may sell by any measure they please. The sixth section of the act i* as follows: "That licenses to renders of vinous, "spirituous, malt nr brewed liquors as "aforesaid, either with or without other "goods, wares and merchandize, in quanti "ties not less than one gallon, and to keep "ers of hotels, inns and taverns y riling in "quantities less than, a gallon, shall not be "granted except to citizens of the United "States, of temperate habits, and of good "moral character, nor until the require "ments as hereinafter provided shall Lave "been complied with." Whatever temperance men throughout the State may think of the matter, the de mocracy can hardly be supposed to feel much apprehension upon the subject. That party has a clear majority in both branches and can of course do as they please cn this a well as other matters. Thus far no li quor bills, or license bills, have been intro duced iu either branch, except by what are called democrats, nor are there likely to he any. The present bill, which has passed the democratic Senate by almost two to one, should in charity be presumed to be a rea sonably good bill; and after the concentra ted wisdom of the House shall have been brought to bear upon it, and a few sage suggestions of the Liquor League incorpo rated into it, 1 doubt not it will come out about as perfect as any merely human legis lation oan be. This is of course predicated upon the common presumption, that the great democratic party, like the Pope of Rome, is infallible. With this consolatory view of the subject, and happy oondition of things, 1 leave the matter for the present.
