the height Of folly for the Northern delegates

We gave the proceedings of the American
National Convention in our last together with
sundry secedIuS declai aJions, protests, and
proceedings of public meeting all which in
dicated very plainly that on the exciting sub
ject OF slavery the new party is far from being
a unit, and the voice OF the press coming
from all quarters in this State shows that
Pennsylvania viii probably stand upon the
grounds assumed in the protest made by VIM.
f. johnson and others, or in other words re-
Jected the platform adopted. Among the
Nhig and American papers which have al
ready defined their position against the sla-
very part, are the Pittsburg Evening Times,
Dispatch, and Commercial Journal, Bucks
county Intelligencer, Lebanon Boy of 20,
Norristown Herald, Carlisle Herald, Easton

With the experience of the past before them,
one would suppose that politicians ola stamp
not above medocrity could have known that
no sectional matter could receive general con-
currence from any body of men assembled
from a widely extended country, having pc
verse interests, and hence an expression on the
question Of Slavery altogether ill-timed
and mprudent-ill-timed because not called
for, and imprudent because unless the candi-
date for President is now conceded to south
man, with slavery principles, the success
sor of Mr.. Pierce may not be an ''American.
True, the election might be thrown into the
House of Representatives, but the same dis
cordant elements would be at work there as
In the Senatorial contest at Harrisburg last
winter and spectacle be presented hatwould
reflect no credit on those concerned.
To our mind the only safe course now to be
pursued, is for the different states to give eX
pressions of approval or disapproval of the
platform as erected, and unless two-thirds or
three-fourh assent thereto refer it TO the
convention that viii place in nomination 4
candidate for the Presidency. If wise cOun-
sells then prevail, the breach may be repaired,
and success crown its efforts; if not, the dcs-
tiny the new party is plainly written.-Lstc-

SECRET Council IN BALTmoRE.-Archbsh
op Kendrck, says the New York Crusader,
has convoked in his palace secret council of
the Bishops of his province, where business Of
high Importance will be transacted by the
help of dozen of pro-consuls of his holiness
in the United States. AS long as the high
representatives of the Pope in America hold
secret meetings, no Anti-American politician
or editor has word in condemnation-even
Barnard and Beale are silent as blind mice;
but when Americans unite in private councils,
loud are the imprecations against them, and
thev are called midnight assassins, murderers,
traitors, ChristlesS, Goddess and rufIans We
hope that the Catholic press viii have no more
abuses for the Know Nothings, as we believe
they have the same right as foreign Bishops,
to meet privately on any part of their native
soil.

POLTICo- -RELIGIoUs.-On the 11th inst the
members of the Methodist E. Church assem-
bled in mass meeting, at Centerville, Monroe
county, Vs., to take into consideration let
ter recently written to TIE Richmond EnQui-
rer, charging that the members of that and
other churches Of the Baltimore Conference,
were controlled in their votes by the church.
The meeting pronounced the statement false,
asserted their belief that the author was aware
ofits falsity, and recommended him to the va
rious churches of the Conference in Virginia,
as fit subject Of prayer to God that he might
''dispense him light, both spiritual and intel
lcctual.'

FUsIoH STATE CONVENTION N VEREoNT.-
The Free Soil, or Fusion State Convention.
assembled Wednesday, at Burlington
About 80 delegates were present. AleXan-
der Sabine, Esq, presided. The State ticket
Of last year unanimously re-nominated,
rs follows For Governor, Stephen BOyca :;
Lieut. Governor Ryland Fletcher; Treasurer,
VI. Bates. The convention was addressed by
the President, Hon. S. Merrill, p. Baxter and
others. The resolutions commend the seccs-
sion of the Northern delegates from the Phi
ladelphia Convention, declaring the time for
compromise with slavery to have paascd, and
strongly denounce the Nebraska-kansas cct.
The seventh resolution was as follows:
Resolved, That the Prohibitory system adop-
ted in this State has, by its salutary influence,
commended itself to the support of the peo-
pie, and that we are opposed to any alteration
of the existing law that subject, except
such as may be necessary to give it greater
efficiency
The Convention was harmonious through
out.

THE INDIANS IN TExAs.-The Indians seem
to get credit for some robberies and murders
in Texas which they do not commit. a Mr.
Walker at Dripping Springs, forty miles west
of Austin, being attacked by five men, appa-
rently Indians, and killed. a negro who was
with him at the time escaped, reached set
tlement and reported the circumstances. a
party then pursued the murderers, killed four
and gave chase to the fifth, who being woun-
ded, was captured while attempting to cross
the river. But the water washed off his paint
aud showed him to be a white man in disguise.
On washing the faces OF the four dead ones
they also were found to be white men. The
prisoner said that there was in the mountains
party of one hundred, who had been com
hitting depredations on the frontier, all of
which have been charged upon the Indians
Walker, after being killed, was robbed Of six
ty dollars. This discovery accounts for nu-
merous my ysterious murders.

DIVISION OF UNION CoUNTY.-The contested
election case in Union county in relation to
the division of said county, was tried at New
Berlin on the 18th instant. After argument,
the Court quashed the petition of the Anti
Division men, on account of informaiity IN
the specifications, and the division OF Old
Union is therefore now a fixed fact, unless the
excitement should be continued by an appeal
to the Supreme Court The, feeling of the
different parties ran so high, that it is said the
Lewisburgers brought their own tents and
victuals with them, in order to obyiatc the ne
cessity of patronizing the New Berlin land

HISS N DAxGER.-The Newburyport Herald
says ;-.s We learn that Mr.. Joseph Hiss, late
representative of Boston, came near suffering
serious injury. if not death, at the Ocean
House, on Wednesday night. Mr.. II. was in
town, prepaTory to lecturing upon The doings
Of the Legislature, stopping at the Ocean
House, and retired at night with spirit lamp
burning, with the wick well up. In the morn
ing the room was full Of sn olle, and Mr.. Hiss
himself the color of Il coal man. He was
awakened with extreme difficulty, but not un-
til the condition of the room had even caused
the blood to settle about his eyes One of the
windows was slightly raised, OF otherwise he
might have died.

!. THR CIVIL LIBERTY OF THE PAPIsTs.-A book
Time says, worthy inoffensive and industrious
man, was assaulted, last week on the steps of Bar
num- Museum; by body of Irish Catholics,
rested by an Irish Catholic policeman named
Walsh and taken before an Irish Catholic Judge
Michael Connolly and sent to Jail for selling a
small pamphlet copy of the controversy between
Arch Bishop Hughes and Senator Brooks. He was
hurried to the feon cell in an indecent haste and
had it not been for Messers. De Witt & Davenport
the publishers of the pamphlet, he would have
been there yet. They knew that he was an A.
merican Protestant and they took him out Of
prison.
