American Rally To-Nixht.


BY reference TO call in this days Organ,
our readers win learn that grand rally Of the
American party Of Washington win take place
this evening at the City Hall, to respond to the
action Of the National Council at its recent
session in Philadelphia.
From the preparations already made, it is
expected that this will be the largest and most
enthusiastic demonstration ever made in the
capital of America Several eminent orators
have accepted invitations to address the meet
ing-among them Kenneth Rayner of North
Carolina, Albert Pike of Arkansas, Mr. Brad
ford of Alabama, Mr.. Cunningham of South
Carolina, Mr.. Broom Of Pennsylvania, Mr. Bur-
well of Virginia, and other gentlemen of distinc-
ton and high standing in the American party.
The meeting will be held at the City Hall
the Forum of Washington and there tonight
will be assembled thousands Of freemen who
are determined that "Americans shall rule
America"
The InteiKgencer of this morning copies from
the New York Commercial Advertiser an account
of the recent American meeting in the Park Of
that city. The Advertiser is owned by an Eng
lishman, and edited by an Englishman, and large
portion Of its support is derived from the English
residents Of Canada and New York. Its report
of the American meeting is, therefore, precisely
what might be expected from an Englshman who
desired to cater for the tastes of his own country
men.
The hatelligencer, in selecting the report of the
I. M A
party in this city have ceased to look for justice
at the hands Of that journal, since it became the
semi-ofcial organ of the present miserable admin
istration.
THE FAILURE OF PAGE g. BAcoN-CoNFIscATIo
OF THE ONO AND MISSISSIPPI RAILRoAD.-The fail
ure Of Page Bacon, the St. Louis bankers, is
likely to seriously affect the finances of that city
We learn from the Democrat that j. H. Alexander,
trustee Of the exploded bankers, has taken formal
possession Of the Ohio and Mississippi railroad,
with all its fixtures, in accordance with the powers
conferred upon him by deed Of trust lately exc
cuted by the directory for the benefit of Page &
Bacon. The Democrat, Of that city, says:
Under this proceeding there is a total suspen-
sion of the powers of the corporation, a confsca-
ton of the interest of every stockholder trans
fer Of the books and accounts, and conversion Of
the entire road into mere personal chatte in the
| hands of Page & Bacon, who hereafter receive
all profits, CHOOSE all officers, make all engage
ments for labor or material, and have exclusive
control and possession"
This act swallows up at once the 100000 sub
scrption of the city and county of st. Louis, and
the entire amount contributed by private stock
holders. The city and county will, in addition to
the loss of the 100000, be required to pay du-
ring the next eighteen years. no less than 1855 900
for interest on the unucky investment.
A GREAT OUrRAeE.-The postmaster at Mar
shall, Missouri IN American-born citizen, has been
removed from Office, and an Irish Roman Catholic
shoemaker appointed in his place. This is justly
regarded great outrage by the citizens of Mar
shall
