l. We advocate an amendment Of the Naturali-
zation Laws, with proper safeguards to preserve
The purity of the elective franchise.
| 2. We advocate the passage Of such laws as will
prevent the immigration of paupers and criminals
| to this country.
8. We oppose any interference in the vested
rights Of a! persons, whether they be Of native
OF foreign birth.
4. We are in favor of non-intervention with
| slavery by the Federal Government, except for
the protection Of our constitutional rights.
s. We advocate high National Policy, such
as will afford stern and unwavering protection to
the American name abroad, and will follow and
guard the American citizen wherever he moves.
6. We believe that America should be govern
ed by Americans, eAecting the same through the
balIot-box alone, the only legitimate instrument
of reform in this country.
=. We believe that the Office should seek the
man, and not the man the Office, and shall oppose
the distribution of Office among oficeseeken, or
as reward for partisan services
8. We will maintain and defend the Constitu-
ton of the United States the Union as it now ex-
lists, and the rights of the States without dimnu.

3. While we approve of the platform adopted
by the late National Council Of the American
Party at Philadelphia, We reject the application

Catholics. IS unjust. unfounded, and entirely un.
worthy Of our country: We shall forever contin-

to make religious belief test for political Office,

holds sentiments not in accordance with these.
10. We war with no party as such, but shall
oppose all who oppose Us in the advocacy Of these
great American principles.

No Go.--Maria Peters, free woman,
was arraigned before the Mayor yesterday to an
swer the charge of receiving dress and shawl
stolen from the wife of Nathan Marcus, knowing
the same to have been stolen. Some three or
four months ago Marcus and his lady left the city
on VISIT and when they returned, found that III cir
house had been entered and robbed of sundry ar.
ticles of wearing apparel. Marcus at once had two
white girls arrested for the theft and brought
before the Mayor who, after an impartial and pa.
tieut examination were discharged On Monday
last, Mrs Marcus made some inquiries OF servant
concerning her losses, and learning that the pri.
soner had dress and shawl resembling those she
lost, made her good man, Nathan, procure search
warrant get possession of the articles, and put
the accused in prison. Yesterday when the case
came up, Mrs Marcus appeared as witness, and
swore positively to the identity of the goods, but
the prisoner produced bill from Messrs Hart &
Moses, TO show that she bad bought shawl lot
them, and Mr.. Moses, on examining the one in
court said it was OF the kad as that purchas
ed by the prisoner. His Honor therefore dismissed
the accused delivering the articles 20 her that

when on bis way to this city from Washington,
snd that the suspected robber escaped and fed to
New York, where he managed to conceal himself
ana get beyond the reach of the police. Some six
weeks since gentleman arrived here on a visit
f.om New York, and learning all the circum-
stances on lisreturn home discovered the fugitive
and had him arrested and confined In prison. Since
then the Governor of Virginia has sent on requi'
sition, and If the accused has not made his escape
we have very little doubt that he will be brought
to this city Ia the course of few days and have a
trial for the theft with which he is charged. The
dispatches received here, gave no information rela
tive TO the money, but from all the circumstances,
we think II quite probable that al least portion OF
1t will be recovered.

representation, getting portions of the food design
ed for the starving, upon which they speculate
Instances have been known, this winter, of wood
being furnished to persons who had enough and TO
spare, and one or two persons, if not MORE who
actually owned slaves have succeeded in procuring

charge of assaulting and beating the steward and
cook of the vessel, whose name is so crooked and
outlandish, that we should need lefthandpd pen
to write it, il we were to attempt it, and would then
have to get a cross-eyed man to read it for us
after it written. The cook if his own tale was
to be relied on had been terribly beat and bruised
so much 30, that he was unable to swallow, but as
there are always two sides to a story Capt. Allen
gave different version Of it when he was sworn
He testified that the complainant shipped at Balti

neglecting his duty and failing to obey orders He
had never seen the accused illuse the complainant
nor had he been informed of the fact until the
warrant was issued for the mates arrest The
Mayor discharged the prisoner after becoming pos.
gessed of all the facts in the case.
