Hon. Arnold Piummer, of Venango was
therefore declared the nominee of the party
for the Office of Canal Commissioner. Mr.
ElSrlmer is a warm personal friend Of Mr..
Buchanan, and his nomination may be regar-
Ged as Buchanan triumph.
We have not yet the balance of the prOcec-
dings but learn from the .fregaS that the Hon.
Hcndrick B. Wright, Chairman of the Com
mttee on Resolutions, stated that being over
ruled in the Committee, he could not submit
the majority report, but would make minori-
ty report instead, which he did, and on leave
given addressed the Convention at length in
its support. lie stated that while he subscribed
TO the resolutions agreed upon by u majority
ofthe Committee, he thought they did not go
far enough. The difficulty in the Committee
was upon the Temperance and Abolition queS-
tions.
Col. Samuel ". Black then submitted the
majority report, and spoke for hour in re-
ply to Mr.. Wright.
After considerable discussion, Hr. Wright
moved the minority report be substituted for
that oftle majority, but che motion was mega
tiyed-yeas 10, nays 50.
Mr. Wright then moved, as an amendment
to the majority resolutions, his minority reso-
luton in favor of the Nebraska BILL andcalled
the yeas and nays thereon, but the motion was
lost-ycas 4G. nays so.
Mr.. Wright then offered, in the form of an
amGdmcut, his resolutions with reference to

-. -. tontOi'fss i@s4 Dear IL SIilliL iiS
once again toeall your attention not only as a
Journalist, but as one who has always eYinced
strong desire to ass&t in the prosecution Of
any enterprise calculated to advance the pub
lie good, TO the great importaace Of Reyiying
at this present time, the interest once felt in
the construction of the Tyrone and Ciearfeld
Railroad, and further 10 the absolute necessity
of there being some prompt and definite action
to insure its speedy consummation.
l cannot but believe that the interest Of
which I speak, rs being once felt in behalf Of
our projected improvement, is now merely
slumbering in the hearts Of our Clearfeld
friends, and co-worlleTs, ready at a. moments
agitation to burst forth with new life and yig-
or, and considerably strengthened by tie re
fresfIng nap it has so long enjoyed.
In addressing you at this particular time up
on this subject subject which every one
must admit to be Of paramount Importance,
not only to the few WHO have heretofore taken
an active part in its deliberations, but to every
one residing in this section Of our noble State,
I must assure you that do so with q irn con-
viction that Propitious moment for the com
mencemeut of active operations has presented
itself, and Chat we have now before MS every
reasonable fnduccm tnt 10 encourage US IN to
prosecution Of our common enterprise.
It is, therefore, with these reasons, and from
firm conviction based upon statistical In
formation gathered from all sources, that the
road when completed, will yield a handsome
and remuneratiye revenue to the stocH-hold-
ers; that, in behalf OF our friends in the East.
/ appeal most earnestly to the citizens of your
entire county. to rally once more to the work,
and with an energy and enterprise know 5lenl
to possess, to unite in this present effort to-
consummate a project which is uudeniably
the fey to the growth, prosperity and develop
ment Of the entire Northwestern section OF
our State

The \. York Times publishes a letter from
koSsuth in relation to the knOwnothing move
meHt, from which We extract The following:
l have seen the United States. Experience
has sharpencd my eyes, and | was struck with
The Obvious symptoms Of this approaching cri
sis. l prayed that when the crisis, came, you
might be spared these dangerous rocks upon
which the vessel Of many society in the Old
World partly stranded, partly became arrested
III its course tor centuries;-these rocks are
'.llRguage, race, TeiigtoR.3 y know 1t, alas |!
We know ii well here in Europe; what it / 5 10
bear up the vessel of freedom to a safe port a.
midst Scyllas and CharrybdiseS like these. L
saw the crisis approaching, and / saw these
dangers approaching; and because l saw both,
never addressed either Frenchmcn, Germans,
or Irishmen IN America, without admonishing
them, s6ef0re all and GbGre all TO be .fmeYjcGnS.
Cherish the recollectionS cf your native land,
as the departed son cherished the memory of
his fathers house, allotted to the brother that
remained at home; rejoice in his joy, grieve in
his grief, partake Of his sorrows, and lend him
a brothers. hand for making the old house of
the father more comfortable 20 your kindred.
These natural affections are great boon of
Providence in your hands, for the glory, hap
piness and security Of your 81 opted fatherand.
The policy OF isolation IS bad policy-free-
dom is not secure only by communicative
ocean is no barrier against the principle of
desputism, il Your adopted country stands
alone, aud the enemy has the power of a world
to WELD. May the old affections of your heart
serve YOU to preserve your new fatherland
from the danger of isolation. Yours is the task
of grating the. t'yig of philanthropy upon the
stock of American patriotism Broad, practi-
cal, national Piilanthropy, is the best patriot
ism for the only great Republic Of the world.
Itisthd best-the only guarantee OF the future
But as sure as you value freedom, civilization,
your own happiness, and the welfare of your
children, diyest Yourself of the idea OF either
making America German or Irish, or forming
4 Germany-an Ireland-in America. Speak
your language, adore your God, but don't try
to be a distinct nation in the American nation
-be plilanthropic Americans, bet before ali
aad G6oce cii be .3mericdnS--or else you will
bring ruin upon your own house by bringing
division upon your adopted country; and dl-
vision of America is Il definate triumph of
despotism throughout the world.
