On the 27th ult., the American Executive
Committee of Dauphin county, Pennsylvania,
adopted the following resolutions:
"Resolesd, That we win frown upon each and
every attempt to convert the American party into
sectional one, and that we will throw our banney
to the breeze upon the issue of Americanism, and
allow no one to inscribe upon its folds anything
that shall have tendency to ALLEVIATE or preju-
dice the people Of one section of our Union against
the other.
" Resolued, That as the American party Of Dau-
phin county holds the Union OF these States to be
the distinctive and vital idea of American Repnb-
licanism, we pledge ourselves to suppress, as far
as lies within power, all tendencies to political
divisions founded on geographical position, and to
rebuke all agitation upon topics of dangerous i'm
port to the peace and harmony of the Union"
We hail with pleasure and pride such evil
dences Of the conservatism Of the American
party. Make Americanism the paramount is
sue, and all sectional issues viii pass away and
be forgotten The Union of these States is the
distinctive and vital idea Of Americanism, and
call tendencies to political divisions founded
on geographical position should be rebuked,
discarded, set aside, and destroyed Let us
resolve with the Americans of Dauphin, to
stand by the Union, the Constitution, and
frown down all attempts to ALLEVIATE any one
State from the others, and soon all apprchen.

PEacEl PEAcEll--We think we have cause,
says the New York News, from late indications in
the Washington Union-organ of the Pierce adj
ministration--to apprehend that the frmness with
which II began the discussion Of our semi-warlike
relations" with Great Britain, is rapidly oozing
at its finger ends. In fewer words, It seems to us
that Mr.. Cushngs patriotic bluser bids fair to end
like Mr. Marcy's foreign Intervention fervor in the
Koszta case-in fzzlel We.are not of those,
If any remain, who consider she dignity Of the
government Of the United States, of whicS he UNI
fortunately forms part, safe in the hands of the
Attorney General We have too little confidence
in his discretion, his honesty, and his capability.
Concurring more nearly with his views than with
the timid and ultra conservative ideas Of Mr. Mar
cy, we are, however, obliged to deny to Mr.. Cush-
ing, on grounds of his habitual rashness, the con-
idence which the senility and nervousness Of the
Secretary OF State forbid us, equally to repose in
him. In our cabinet Of conglomcration, and CO
alition, every man IL ultra and unsafe upon some
point; none can be set down as perfectly reliable
upon any. eaH
