LYNCHBURG IIRGINiAN.
WEDNESDAY, MORNING, OCT. 10, 1855.
The 18th October

The 18th October
The announcement was yesterday made in III,
Yrginian.a and in the Wing and American of Rich
mond. the day previous, that it had been final,
determined to hold the American State Conven.
ton IL THIS CRY THE l9rH INST.
We regret that there should have been mani.
Tested in any quarter disposition to change the
time or place. Both had been well considered
and deliberately appented-and the suggestion
Of difficulties, which might have been presented
if any other time and place had been selected,
were more calculated 10 diminish the number of
delegates and impair the influence of the Con-
vention, than effect any advantageous change
Lynchburg is but half day further from any
portion of the State than Richmond, while to that
vast portion of the State lying southwest Of us,
tits half day nearer. BY railroad, canal and
stage line, our city is of easy access to vistcrs
from almost any part of the Commonwealth.
Nor can imagine a more appropriate occa-
sion for the friends Of American principles and
American independence to meet in council, than
the anniversary of that ever memorable day which
broke the last fetter that bound us TO a foreign
po~er,and made a free and sovereign people
If be objected tina, Friday is too late in the
week to admit Of the transaction of all the bust
ness which will be presented for consideration
and action, let the delegates come ono day or
two days earlier, aud occupy themselves till the
official organization ofthe Convention ON Friday,
in inierchanging views, maturing business, adj
dressing the people, &c. This will remedy the
objection on the score of time, and we hereby
invite. in the name Of the committee, all whose
leisure will admit of il. to come on Wednesday or
Thursday, the 18th and 18Th inst. I hey will be
cordially received and pro6tably employed.
To those who apprehend that Lynchhurg will
not be able to entertain the vast crowd which
such an occasion should draw together, we say
come and see We feel entire assurance
thatthe citizens of Lynehburg. of every creed
and condition, will do all that becomes a hospita-
BILE and courteous people. If Stanton aud Win
chester and Charlottesville have been deemed
large enough on former occasions for the accom-
mediation Of State Conventions, we know no rca-
son why Lynehburg, with more than the capacity
Of all united, should be thought insufficient. En-
dorsing the assurances of the annexed address
by the Executive Committee. and heartily unit
ing in its spirit,we forego other remarks for the
present, TO give it insertion
TO the American Party of Virginia
Every arrangement for the accommodation OF
the approaching Convention is in progress
From oil the indications that have come under
observation, or that we can hear of, large
able and enthusiastic delegation will be in alton
dance, and the prospect is highly favorable for
an interesting and profitable session of the Con.
venton.
We take this last opportunity To renew the in
vitation heretofore given, to all who sympathize
with the purposes of the American Party, wheth.
members of tho American Order or not. to
a ttend the Convention. Remember that the same
perils which gave existence to the American Par
ty continue to menace us-that our country is
y ct to be saved and that lis salvation depends
upon the triuiaph Of the American Party. Come
up to the glorious work-every consideration of
patriotism demands the sacrifice at your hands
Though beaten,we are not conquered--yictory is
the birth fright of just se-wth unity Of
effort and energetic action on our part it will as-
suredly rest upon standard. Come u heart
felt and cordial welcome awaits you. 1t is the
wish of the projectors of the Convention, as de
clared in the letters ofinvitaton, ITO bring togeth
Si io' NV Pp'P'e' vi pun tpHSulldtol' NOT
only members of the American Order, bat as far as
is practicable, such enlightened gentlemen of this
and other States sympathize with and favor
the general views Of the Organization. 1t will
be among thsDobects of tho meeting to consult
calmly in respect to the present political condi-
ton of the country,to declare authortatively the
principles of the American Party, and to pre-
sent basis of future action a series of polit-
ica truths, in the enforcement of which moder-
ate and conservative men of all parties may
unite, and which respecting the interest of ev-
cry section will tend to secure the lasting
union of the States"
The Convention will be held with open doors,
and one of the first measures that will be consider
ed by it will be the propriety If demonstrating
our party as an open political Organization.
Most respectfully we are your
fellow citizens.
