Mr.. John B. Cough delivered lecture
on Saturday evening, the 2Oth inst, at
he Academy of Music, corner of Irving
place and Fourteenth street. In spite of
the weather. rain falling in tOrrents-lhe
house was most respectfully filled, about
one thousand five bundled persons being
present. On the stage we noticed the
Rev. DR.. Burchard, the Rev. DR.. Marsh,
Mr.. Warren, Secretary of the Temper
ence alliance. The Rev. DR.. Tying pre-
sided. Mr.. J. B. Cough has just re-
turned from tour through Europe; he
looks uncommonly well, and delivered an
excellent lecture, Illustrating in his usual
effective style The various scenes of in.
temperance he has met with the recital
of many of which drew tears from the
male as we'll as female portion of his list
eners. He said he waged war with soci-
al drinking-that it was the root of the
evil-do away with liquor in your house
and you strike at The root. He so waged
war against custom, that kept up the
system. lie had met with many men
who would take the pledge, if they could
be allowed to take drinks when they tho't
they needed it. This would not do; one
would need it to keep the cold out-'anoth-
er for the headache-a third to give an
appetite. Total abstinence and nothing
else must be the order Of the day. Some
of the clergy had told him it ought to be
left to the grace of God and not human
agency to reform drunkards-grace ol
God the man. Why, he said, Scotland
the most religious country in the world,
the birth place of religious martyrs, is
full of drunkards. The lecturer spoke
of his reception in England, with which
he was we'll pleased They told him in
Exeter hall that he was thin on water
drinking. He answered it, not from his
water drinking, but from his arduous du-
ties in the Temperance cause; for twelve
years he has made three hundred speeches
annually, besides attending committees,
visiting drunkards, and answering his
correspondence, which amounted last
year to nearly four thousand letters. He
has avoided all stimulants, almost abol-
ishing tea and coffee, drank nothing but
pure water, yet he would walk ten miles
with any one on Monday morning, and
then go through days work. The lee.
ture lasted about two hours, and was
loudly cheered throughout.-Tribune.

REV. DR.. PoMRoY.

The following is an extract from a pri-
vate letter dated, English Hospital, Sou
tari, Sept. II
"Altogether this is unquestionably the
largest hospital in the world, and in some
respects an excellent school for a young
physician, yet | am on the whole some
what disappointed. Every one in au-
thority has, it is true, been kind and at

ering from fever, cholera and dysentery,

The most interesting person here,
without doubt, is Miss Nightingale, with

found her tall, slender woman, looking
younger than her real age, which is about
thirty.three, with light hair, blue eyes,
and very pretty mouth. Ordinarily heI
expression of coun,enance is almost mel
ancholy, but when she speaks her face
lights up, and she becomes very ANNA
ted and attractive. She is the theme oI
every ones admiration and praise, botl
in the hospital and in camp, and every
soldier has given most cheerlully his con:

We proclaim 10 the world the following
PRINCIPLES OF THE AMERICAN
PARTY OF OHIO.

7. The unlimited freedom of Religion dis
connected with politics-hostity to ecclesias
ticaI influences upon the affairs of government
equality of rights all naturalized Emf.
grants WHO are thoroughly Amercanized, and
owe no temporal allegiance, by reason OF THEN
religion hi CHER than that 10 the Constitution
II. No Interference with the rights of citi-
xenship aleady acquired by Foreigners, and
tho protection of law to all who honestly emi
crate from love of liberty but the exclusion OF
foreign pauperS and feouS, and refusal TO
extend the right of suffrage 10 all who come
hereafter until they shall have resided u years
in the United States and complied with the
naturalization Laws.
III. Opposition to all political organizations
composed Exclusively Of Foreigners, and to
Foreign Military Companies, and to all attempts
10 exclude the Bible from Schools supported By
the government
". Slavery is local-not national we op
nose its extension in any of Onr territories, and
The increase of its political power by the ad-
mission into the Union of any Slave State or
otherwise: and we demand of the General Gov.
ernment an immediate redress ot the great
wrongs which have been inflicted upon the
cnuse of Freedom and the American character
by the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise, and
the introduction OF Slavery into Kansas in vio-
lation OF law, by the force Of arms, and The de-
struction Of the elective franchise,
V. In humble imitation of the wisdom Of
Washington, We oppose all intervention in the
affairs Of Foreign States vet Oh all proper &C.
casion, We will not withhold our sympathy
from any people aspiring to be free.
vi. We support American Industry and ge-
MUS against the adverse policy of Foreign ma.
tons and facilities to internal and external
commerce by the Improvement Of rivers and
harbors and the construction of national roads
uniting the various sections of the Union.
VII. The Union of these States should be
made perpetual by faithful allegiance to the
Constitution.
VIII. In State policy we zealously advocate
Retrenchment and RefOrm--a modification OF
the present oppressive system of Taxation and
a liberal system OF Public Schools.
TH0S SPOONER, President,
JOIN E. REEs, Secretary.
True American. [volume] (Steubenville [Ohio]) 1855-1861, 1855-11-07
PRESIDENTIAL.

We notice in several of our exchanges
the agitation of the question, 'who are the
most likely to be the successful asplrants
of the respective political parties in the
contest for nomination for the Presidency
in 1867 Such speculations may not be
entirely ont of place, but to US it is all a
matter of mere conjecture. In the present
unsettled state of every political party in
the nation, it is beyond the wisdom of the
wisest politician to speak with any degree
of certainty on the subject.
The Democratic party claims to be a
unit, while the fact is notorious that it Is
divided into almost as many different fac
tions as there are States in the Union.
Will these factions be able to coalece in
national convention If 50, it must be up
on platform similar in all of its odious
features to the platform of 80. Should
this be the case, is there State north Of
Mason and Dixon's line which will endorse
a candidate standing upon such platform !
Every man Of intelligence must answer,
No.
Should the Garrisonian disorganizers lead
of, and the Republican party follow, their
candidate will be repudiated by every north
ern, as we'll as southern State in the Union.
There are two dangerous extremes connect
ed with this question. That which is call
ed "National Democracy on the one side,
with all the elements of political despotism,
and on the other, Garrisonian dsorganiz "a
ton, anarchy, and destruction. With the
light which the discussion Of the Slavery
question has reflected into the minds of the
American people within the last few years,
no man can be elected President of this ma
ton who stands committed to either Of
these extremes. Where then shall we find
the dominant party in SO! We answer in
that organization which restricts Slavery
to its present limits, but which concedestV
the South its constitutional rights. The
American organization, as it stands in all
Ahe northern States, possesses every ele'
ment essential to free government, alike
removed from the Garrisonism of the North
and the fre-eaters of the South. That this
party has the favorable consideration of a
large majority of the American people there
can be no doubt. 1t is not claimed to be
perfect in every respect. Some wise chang
es have been made in the ritual Of the Or
der, and some judicious notifications in its
policy, but the great principle that this
country shall be governed by men who hold
no secret allegiance to an ecciesiasticaI
despot, who are strictly anti-slavery in
principle, and who are thoroughly Gamer
icanized," arc cardinal principles Of the
Order, and no man can receive the suffrages
of the American people for the highest
office in their gift, in whom theseprinciplef
do not centre. Let Pro-Slavery, Anti
American candidate try it, and the sequel
win prove our prediction true to the letter.
So soon as we decide upon our preference
I'VE will forthwith announce the name oi
our candidate. There is one point which
we have already settled in our mind, viz
That there are at least twenty men in jeff
srson County, either Of whom would make
