John A. Stevens, Esq, chairman, submitted re-
port and severg resolutions. The latter state that
no proper amends have yet been made to the own

Nominating Convention.

Our readers may not generally recollect that
the National Council fixed the 22d Of February
next for the meeting of the Nominating Com
vention of the American party. In many
parts Of the country our friends have recon-
mended q postponement of the day to next
June or July. In this recommendation we
cordially concur, and we trust that some action
viii be taken by our party here to effect such
postponement. 1t seems to us to beunwise in
every respect to make our Presidential nomi-
nations in February, or at any time before mid
summer, otter the anti American party shall
have made theirs Meanwhile it behooves our
friends everywhere to select their delegates in
due time, to be on hand whenever required.
We learn that the State Council Of Nsso
York directed that the Councils Of that State
should elect their delegates from each Congress
sionas district to represent them in the Ma
tional Convention, and that these elections
should be held in December We see nothing
in the American papers Of that State on the
subject of this election, which is now SO near
at hand, and we infer from this general silence,
that they do not appreciate the great import
ance Of the occasion. In our Judgment, it is
of the highest Importance to our party that
New York should be represented by sound
conservative Americans in the National Amer
lean Convention, called for the 22d February,
and thst our friends in New York should not
delay action nor overlook the importance Of
the crisis.

Evils Of FOreisnism.

"The result Of emigration is the same now as it
was half century since. The relative adyanta-
ges are the same considering the increased extent
OF our country and the necessity of filling up the
void between the Atlantic and Pacific. p Rich
mo,ad Enqlirer.
We are not little surprised to see such an
admission in a leading anti-American paper.
1t is contended that immigration is necessary
to fill cup the void between the Atlantic and
Pacific" Does the Enquirer know of what
kind of people with which Utah Territory is
being filled upS And is the immigration Of
Mormons, who not only disregard the law Of
the land, but one Of the fundamental princi-
pies Of Christianity, necessary to promote the
interest of the country, or to preserve its insti-
tutionsp The result Of immigration is depen-
dent upon the character of immigrants, and
will any one who is ut all observant, contend
that the immigrants Of the present day are sim
liar in character, and in intellectual and moral
standing to those who came a half century
SINGER Are the German infdels or the Irish
papist equal in any respect to Montgomery,
Lafayette, Pulaski or De Kalbp Are the pau
pers and criminals who are sent thither by the
European governments, equal in moral worth
and intellectual standing, and are they imbued
with the principles and sentiments Of the inn
migrants Of a half century since?
Yet, says the Enquirer, the result Of smigra-
ton is the same now as it was " half century
since" What does the Enquirer mean by the
"relative advantages ?" Have not the openly
avowed declarations Of hostility to our form Of
government by the Germans Of Louisville and
Of Richmond clearly shown their repugnance to
free government The Enquirer intimates
that immigration Is necessary to fill up the
wide expanse Of uninhabited territory between
the Atlantic and Pacific. Is it any advantage
TO have any portion Of the country settled by 0
people who disown allegiance to the General
Government, and who repudiate the laws o.
the lands Yet this is the character Of the i'm.
migrants Of the present day. who are rapidly
"Hlling up the void between the Atlantic and
Pacific"
The Enquirer must have forgotten the re-
monstrnnce of Mayor Wood, and his appeal t.
the Executive for assistance to relieve New
York city from the importation of foreign pau
pers and criminals, and the protest Of the Gin
cinnad Board against the transportation OF the
same to that city. Hopelessly blind to the
best interests Of the country must that man OF
press be, who win for a moment contend that
the immigrants Of the present day are equal to
those Of a half century ago, and recreant to the
natural impulses Of patriot must be he who
win assert that the result Of the immigration
Of foreign criminals, paupers, and in6dels will
prove harmless to the established institutions

A VIRGNIAN's OPINION OF KANsAs.--A corre-
spondent Of the Winchester Republican, who emil
grated to Kansas from Frederick county, writes a
letter to that paper, under date Of November 9Th,
from which we take the following extract:
Kansas, according to our humble opinion, is
greatly overrated. Timber is extremely scarce,
being found only along creeks, &C., but the soil
generally is very prolific. The Territory has been
very unhealthy, and the shakes have forced many
to sigh for home again. Kansas win undoubted.
ly be free State, for we have ice as many arrivals
from the North as from the South The largest
city in Kansas does not contain over 1900 inhabi-
tants, and many of the cities you read about ex-
list only in name. Many are returning, and, upon
Che whole, Kansas is h,o,bug."

PANIC IN AZ HuRcH.-We learn from the Orange
New Jersey, Journal, that while Rev. Mr.. billiard,
pastor, was addressing the congregation Of The
Methodist Episcopal Church in that place on Sum
day evening last, the gallery Of the church was
observed to settle suddenly, and tie pillars to give
way partially, to the great alarm Of the large CON
gregation present A rush was made for the doors
in the utmost confusion, but no one, fortunately,
was seriously injured. Upon searching for the
cause Of the occurrence, 1t was found that the
props underneath the floor Of the church had been
torn away, probably for the express purpose of
precipitating the congregation below. Some, how
ever, are Of the opinion that the sinking Of the
floor was attributable to the erection Of a large
building on the adjoining lot. The foundations of
the buildings are to be examined and made firm,
SO as to prevent the possibility Of any future acct
dent.

Lines copied from an Old Magazine,

No glory covet, no riches l want.
Ambition is nothing to me;
The one thing beg of kind heaven to grant
Is mind independent and free.
With passions unrufled, untainted with pride
By reason my life let me square;
The wants Of my nature are cheaply supplied
And the rest are but folly and care.
The blessings which Providence freely has lent,
I'll justly and gratefully prize;
Whilst sweet meditation and cheerful content,
Shall make me both healthful and wise.
In the pleasures the great mans possessions
display,
Unevied I'll challenge my part,
For every fair object my eyes can survey
Contributes to gladden. my heart.
How vainly through infinite trouble and strife,
The many their labors employ!
Since all that is truly delightful in life,
Is what all, if they please, may enjoy.
