New York, July 10, 1855

New York, July 10, 1855.
On account of the evening of the 4th of July
having been rainy, the fireworks intended for that
evening were postponed until Monday, at which
time the display came off at three of our principal
parks apd it surpassed anything Of the kind ever
Witnessed in New York The evening was all that
could be wished, and the people we're ont In their
might. The concluding and most magnificent
piece OF the evening at the Park, was lfe-size
figure of Washington on horseback, forming the
centre of the facade Of temple, surmounted by a
spread eagle in the centre, and by shields, &C., at
the corners. The applause at the conclusion OF
this piece was tremendous; after which the crowd
dispersed, highly delighted with the closing exer-
cises Of the glorious anniversary"

Of the leading articles at this port for the second
quarter Of the fiscal year of 1855, ending June 80,
and compared with the same period last year, find
the following interesting particulars:

These figures show remarkable falling off in
every article imported, with the exception ofcgars
and sugar
The reduction in railroad iron is easily accounted
for, us the railroad mania has somewhat abated
within the past six months.
The reduction in the imports of tea, about ST.
600, 900, is somewhat remarkable, and would in
dictate that very small supply is, at present. in
the market
In wines and liquors, notwithstanding the new
liquor law the imports have not varied materially
from last year; but, compared with 1858, for the
same period, the falling off is near 81 100000 in
value.
Mr.. Hugh Auchincloss, one Of our Oldest and
most wealthy citizens, died yesterday at his coun-
try seat on Staten Island, in the 76th year of his
age. Colonel Mann, the builder of the Broad
way Theatre, and who has been for 4 few years
connected with the circus in this city, also died
yesterday in his 46th year.
The race across the Atlantic, which is now
about to terminate, is creating something OF an
excitement, and bets are making on both the Pa
ci6c and North Star. The Pacific was to leave
Liverpool the sam, day that the North Star left
Havre, and as the North Star arrived out after a
very short run, she is expected to make as good
time on her return. We shall probably know the
result within twenty-four hours.
The monster wedding turns out to be magni-
fcent hoax, as | supposed it would. man must

Our city is to be honored by visit of a COM
mttee of the Baltimore City Council, for the pur-
pose of visiting our public institutions. The coun-
cilmen last evening appointed committee to
afford the gentlemen from the Monumental city all
the necessary facilities to accomplish their object
1t is expected that by June, 1858, New York
viii be in connection with London and all the prn-
cipal cities Of the world by telegraph. The con-
summation of this enterprise will be hailed with
Joy throughout the civilized world, and will be the
commencement of a new era in telegrnphing, and
all languages will be transmitted over the wires
with the same facility as the English, French, &c,
is at present. Truly may it be said the world will
be encircled by an iron band when this chain Is
completed.
1t is estimated that there at the present time
about fifty thousand operatives out of employment
in this city, without any good prospect Of an i'm
provement for some time to come, while in the
rural districts there not men enough to do the
harvesting and other work Of the farmer.

Chance for n Brevet.

Some one or more millions Of the American
people have chosen to associate themselves
under the denomination of the American Or
der OF this Order the Washington Uiaio1s
the organ of President elected by the peo-
pie, and the recipient Of large enoluments
from the peoples treasury, has chosen to hold
the following language:
Conceived in fraud and sustained By falsehood,
intoxicating system of mean, wretched eo,oardly
lying from initiation TO full communion, a0o,,-
der that Nothingi1n should be found IN
open, nndisguised opposition to light and truth,
against freedom of speech and freedom of action,
and against any and every principle upon which
the free institutions of our land have rested so
long and rested 80 securely.
[Our italics.
We have rarely seen the decencies Of politi-
cal warfare so much outraged as in this very
false and malignant paragraph. 1t will pass
without notice under the immunity of a gener-
al libel. But as there can be no particular glory
in insulting great political incorporation,
which perhaps despises its antagonists too much
to reply to them, we may suggest to the chiv-
alrous editor of the Union, painting perhaps
for an opportunity to flesh his sword in the
enemies of his royal master, how he may
achieve an object so dear to him. We may
presume that he has never yet said to any
individual of the American Order personally,
what he says Of those who compose it. Well,
If hewish to give proof at once Of his candor
and courage, we suggest that he shall say to
some member Of the american Order, "you
are sustaining by falsehOod system of wretch
ed cowardly lying, from initiation to full
communion" We will insure that the editor
of the Union will have chance to be rewarded
by brevct for extraordinary speed or military
services, and perhaps with the collar and deco
rations of Greytown

The Boot shifted.

Before the adoption of that clause in our
declaration of nationality, which requires that
"all the principles of the [American] Order
shall be henceforward everywhere openly ayow-
ed" our antagonists were indignant at what
they were pleased to term the cowardice of the
American party, who were not willing to avow
or defend in public the doctrines which they
protested In the progress of the campaign
in Virginia, Georgia, and the Southern States,
it is supposed that charge will be substituted
by some one more probable. We infer from
the following extract from the Kentucky Tri-
bune, that Sam had got his antagonists head
under his arm, from the aversion manifested
to continue the conflict We commend the
discretion of the aforementioned Clark, in
avoiding the eloquent General Pitcher. The
General is Of Democratic antecedents, but 80
ndomitable in his American convictions that
he would fearlessly encounter any opposition
from "a single spy" to Park meeting, and
would cause regiment Of Clarks to fly before
his unaided falchion. Give it to them General !!
"THEY DECLINE Discussion. Clark had an
appointment to speak in Louisville, on Thursday
last, and General Pitcher, In accordance with a
written request from the American executive COM
mittee, addressed him polite friendly note, re-
questing agreeable to Mr. Clark, that the latter
would arrange with him SO they could discuss the
political questions Of the day together. Mr.. Clark
penned note in reply Astounding in orthographi-
cal blunders and illiberal remarks, declining to
speak with the General. Again, at Frankfort,
where Hon. Garrett Davis had an appointment to
reply to him, Mr. Clark spoke from two o'clock
till seven in the evening, and when Mr.. Davis was
then shouted for by the crowd, up pops the same
Mr.. Clark, and interrupted Mr.. Davis, that he
might detain the audience half an hour longer to
tell them his reasons for declining to debate with
Mr.. d. Mr. Davis, however, spoke after supper,
and, as might be inferred, demolished the great
champion of Sag Nchtism, which was probably all
Mr.. Clark was afraid he would do if an opportunity
was given him during the evening He informed
Mr.. Clark that he intended to be heard with him
every day until Mr.. Morehead meets him, and, If
he cannot have a division Of the usual speaking
time, he will find time in the earlier part Of the
day, or after supper, to show up the glazing mis-
representations which are being retailed by the
anti-American orators"

CHOLERA.

PAIN KILLER.
DupuoUE, Iowa, May 5, 1853.
GENTLEMEN; feel under obligations TO you for the
benefit have received from your invaluable Pain
Killer.
We have had some cholera here on the Mississippi
thus carly in the season. few days since assisted
in "laying out and buryng of our citizens, who
was supposed TO have died with the disease The
next morning was taken with severe vomiting &c
companied with coldness Of the extremties. Warm
covering and hot applications failed TO restore warm h.
Ny wifes family, who had used the Pain Killer with
during the cholera in Buffalo in 1919,
advised me TO take il. took doses at intervals
Of Is minutes; fine perspiration ensued, and the
next day, barring little weakness, was well, and
have been since
II may have been an attack Of Ague, but whether
Ague or Cholera, IL answered my purpose.
Since my recovery, find that several Of our citi-
zens have used the Pain Killer as a remedy for Ctp
lera and pronounced it good. therefore take plea
sure in recommending il TO still more extensive no
tice. Yours, truly, w. M. CR0IZER,

termine next week, at Marietta, whether it will
be better TO withdraw their candidate, Mr..

WEDNESDAY. JULY II, 1855.

In consequence Of the liberal patronage which has
been extended TO the ARercan Organ, by its friends
throughout the Union, and in order to promote TO
the fullest extent the growth Of American principles,
the proprietors will hereafter furnish it at 81 year
per copy, TO all clubs Of one hundred or more. AT
this low rate of subscription they confident Of
receiving large accession Of subscribers to their
present list which reaches 10000 copies and Of

country.
An inducement is by this arrangement, offered to
newspaper agents. booksellers stationers, and others

Excitement in Literary Circles in Paris.

A special correspondent Of the New Orleans
Picayune, writing from Paris June 5th, says:
"0ur literary circles are very indignant at the
refusal Of the censors at the Ministry OF the Int
rior TO allow the valuable History of the Restora
ton, by NJ. De Vaulsbelle, TO be sold by the col
porteurs. II is standard work, which has gone
through FIVE editions although il appeared only
three years ago but NJ. De Vauabelle is an ar
dent republican and that grain Of salt is found to
make any dish however large, unpalatabe. M.

Philadelphia Platform.

Council No. SO, In the city Of Rochester, have
adopted and published series Of resolutions en-
dorsing the platform presented by the National
American Convention at Philadelphia They as-
sumo, however what we think is not very clear,
that said platform recognises, In express terms,
the duty and right of liberation In respect TO
merely sectional questions, aside from the purposes
Of the Order, and in regard 10 which, experience
has shown II impossible to reconcile opinions so
extreme as those which separate the disputants"
The following is the most important resolution
Of the series;
Resolved That in distinctly avowing "a tender
and sacred regard for their acts Of craftsmanship,
which are to be distinguished from acts Of
ordinary legislation, by the fact Of their being OF
the nature Of compacts and agreements, and 80 to
be considered fixed and settled national policy =
the National Council unequvocaly condemned the
outrage perpetrated under the lead Of Douglas and
the Pierce administration, in the repeal of the
Compromise Of 1920 that while we condemn now
as ever the repeal Of the Missouri act as breach
Of faith a violation Of solemn compact base at

question, thereby diverting their attention from

GENTLEMEN: have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt Of your favor Of the goth instant, in
viting me TO unite with the American party in
their ratification Of the Philadelphia platform, on
the 4th Of July next in the town Of Fredericks-
burg.
twill not be in my power to accept your polite
invitation. IL from home on that day, expect TO
be In the city of Williamsburg.
II may not, however, be amiss for me TO say
here, that as from manhood TO the opening Of my
late Congressional canvass, had never advocated
political principle that had not my conscientious
approval so In adherence TO the same plan of life,
amid all the excitement and temptation Of the late
canvass, never unworthiy sought success, but,
frankly avowing my sentiments, and avowing none
not honestly entertained and in view Of my duties
TO my country, seeking union among ourselves by
pursuing a course of Cancellation and harmony,
that We might be the better able to resist the
wrong and injury Of Northern fanaticism, un-
shrinkingly trusted myself to the moral sentiments
of my race, upon which free government must rest,
70 last. The result, so gratifying to me, showed
that my confidence was not misplaced; and II now
remains, for me to show by my conduct in all re-
spects, that merit the confidence In which the
people Of my district have so generously robed me.
With great consideration, am gentlemen, very
truly, yours, WIN. SMITH.
