The writer of the following, has left his name
with us, as voucher for its correctness. He is
man of respectable standing. and up to the
time mentioned in the communication, has acted
with the American party:
WORCESTER, Oct %, 1855.
Messrs. EARLE & DREw.-Allow me. through
the medium of your columns, to relate an Incl.
dent which occurred at an "open" American
meeting. on Saturday evening last, to which was
an eyewitness. 1t seems, that, during the meet
ing it was discovered by E. X. Spaulding and w.
NJ: Sampson and the fact circulated in the hall,
that there were several persons present, who did
not stand upon the so-called Springfield Platform.
When the report reached the ears of ]. Waldo
Denny, he arose. apparently horror-struck, and
informed the chairman. James H Wall. of the
fact, and also moved that the chair request all
such persons to retire. The motion prevailed, and
so the chairman arose. with great dignity, and
made the request; upon which three respectable
citizens left the hall, amid storm of Kisses and
other expressions of hatred and malice.
Now, Messrs Editors, is the above transaction
consistent with those principles of AmericdntSm
aud Freedom. for which the supporters Of Cover
nor Gardner profess such profound regard or is
it not more consistent with those principles which
are advocated by the followers of Atchison and
Strngfellow! think the latter suggestion is
correct one.
have only desired to give the above fact to the
public, thatthey might in some measure see what
a conglomerated mass of bigotry and intolerance
the so called American party of this city are
posed Of. Thank Heaven their numbers are feU,
their po,oer nothing, and that. with the above
transaction, haze lost all sympathy for it, and
all desire have had heretofore for the success of
the so called American party and, allow me to-
say,that, having above, the 'cloven foot, W
shall leave my former party TO sink an its
rOttenaess, and join the Republican cause, being
sto'c convinced that, in that cause, are embodied
all the principles which pertain to Freedom, Jus
tice, and Truth. And believing the Republican
cause ought and aoH prevail, subscribe myself as
A TRUE AMERICAN.

A HINT TO JUDGE KANE.-We cut the fol-
lowing paragraph from the New York CSun-
day. Courier -
ut is customary with great petentates and
Asatic tyrants to comm morate any happy
domestic event by liberating State prisoners,
and other acts Of clemency and mercy. Why
should not Judge Kane, the tyrant of Phila-
delphia, by way of thank offering to ProvI-
idence, for the safe return OF his two sons,
open the prison doors and let Passmore Will
Hanson go freei The sole crime of Passmore
was the wickedness of telling poor black
woman that, by the laws of Pennsylvania, she
was entitled to her freedom, and we should
say that he had been shut up in dungeon
quite long enough for such an offence as that.
Ifthere was any of the spirit remaining in Phil
adelphia which manifested itself there in July,
l776, Passmore Williamson would ror long
remain in Moyamensing Prison. But the
men who made the Declaration of Independ.
ence-Jefferson, Franklin, Adams and Han
cock-were not PennSylvaRiaaS."

INTERESTING GEOLOGICAL Discoveries. -
The workmen employed i'm making excava-
tons for the proposed improvements at the
Upper Water Shops in this city, made dis.
covery on Monday of last week, which pro-
misses to be of great value to the geological
world. In preparing the foundation for the
new buildings, it was found necessary to pen
citrate a considerable depth of red sandstone,
which III this valley IS remarkable for its fos-
sill footprints, and here, at about six feet be-
low the surface, piece of rock was turned
up, found to contain number Of fragments of
petrifed bones, some of which formed COM
plete bone eight inches in length and about an
inch in diameter. Subsequently other fossil
ferrous rocks were found, containing similar
bony fragments. The bones that have been
exhumed thus far have been examined by
President Hitchcock, of Amherst, Lieut.. Ben.

will be Of the highest valuo as it will tend to

agree with President Hitchcock, in his conclu.

ticut valley, BECAUSE as they claim, no bones
have yet been discovered to establish his theo-

inntter, however, is to be in vestigated soon by
Mr.. Hitchcock, and Professor Aga, siz. Of Cam

EXTRACTS FROM THE DIARY AND CoRREsPoND-
ENCB OF THE LATE AMOS LAWRENCE, rCith
a Briet Account Of some Incidents IN his Life =;
EDITED BY his son, VIM. X. Lawrence, NJ. d.
Boston Gould & Lincoln 1856.
No book that has recently issued from the
American press is more worthy of an extended
and general reading han this. Amos Lawrence
was man of intelligence, OF great business tact
and talent, and withal, man OF great cOnscien-
tiousness, integrity, and moral worth-a man who
might we'll serve as model for the young men OF
the country. The principles and characteristics
which made him what he was, are clearly mirror
ed forth in the work before us. No man can read
it without feeling that he is the wiser and the bet
ter for it. We are sincerely glad that the editor
was preyailedup to forego his original intention
and to place it before the public. The demand for
it is creditable to the public sentiment and shows
that it is suitably appreciated, Although it is
but short time since its publication, one edition
has already been exhausted, by orders chiefly in
the vicinity of Boston alone, and the seconA edi-
ton is now out.
