Washington an Advocate of the Ameri.
can nnntrina

The following letters, from Sparks publica-
tion of the WASHINGTON papers, con.lusivelv
show the platform on which the greatest of our
forcfathers stood, relative to the doctrines now
advocated by the American party There is
none so base as to profanc the name of Wash
ington; yet the Father of Our country herein
teaches us that it is dangerous, unjust nnd
'mpol15c to confer power on .toreiqners. We
especially commend the subioined extracts to
those who have forgotten, or been ignorant of
the fact, that pure, unnaulteruted American
doctrine was unequivocaly and emphaticallv
advocated by him who was ''first in war, first
in peace, and first in the hearts of his country
men,"

gates from the Free States withdrew from the
Convention to-day, in consequence of the pas
sage of the resolutions alluded to. We have
learned nothing further as to the proceedings of
the body. 1t is supposed the withdrawing
members will hold separate Convention, and
nominate distinct ticket.

~ A meeting was held in the court House,
on Tuesday last, to take into consideration the
propriety of purchasing fire engine, for the
use Of our town. The money, as we under
stand, has been subscribed, and an engine with
all the accompanying apparatus has been Of
fered for sale by a fire company in the city,
to one of our townsmen, at reduced price
If upon examination, it proves to be good, and
not defective, the engine will be bought

name of our worthy townsman, R. J. Bowman,
as having been elected to seat in our board of

PoLlrIcAL, GOVERNOR ETc.-A not only
"quondani," but real democratic friend has
handed us tho annexed communication BY
way, he says, of enlarging the range of sclcc-
ton from which choice is to be made, we
are not prepared to say that his remarks are
without force. as we know they will be duly
considered when the times arrives for action
But to our correspondent He writes:
"Those Of us who have democratic procli-
yities, looking to the fact that in the abstract
the State must be regarded as democratic, and
having been often assured that in the forma-
tion of the State ticket great regard would be
had to the existing state of things and to
place, if possible, one Of as as re used to be,
at the head of the ticket. This conceded. if
not of right, at least as cxpedient, the only
fear seems to be, that the "material" is want
ing for the first position, but exists amply for
all others. This may in reality be SO, and if
on full consideration it is found to be SO, your
correspondent will acquiesce, satisfied that the
good of the Order has been properly consulted,
his only purpose herein being to give that ef-
ficiency to the ticket which will make its sue.
cess beyond any question
In addition, therefore, to the names already
mentioned for the Office of Governor. those of
Charles Gayarrc, Wm. B. Lewis, and Lewis
Texada, may be mentioned as properly com.
manding respect. They have ali been honorcd
by their party-the Democratic party-thev
have all had honorable positions in that party.
and are equal to the emergency that may cali
them.
The selection Of Gayarre would, like that of
Derbigny, lease off" question about which
our opponents affect to have great horror

The recommendation Of the secretary of
war to employ camels for the purposes Of
army transportation seems TO meet with
great favor from various quarters. The hab-
its of these animals, being capable of sub
sisting on cosrser food than that required for
horses. and doing longer without water, are
considered peculiarly adapted to our western
region, where large tracts must be traversed
which afford no water and scanty herbage.
The only doubt that has been suggested is,
whe ther their feet would stand the various
changes incident to our climate, and enable
them to pass through mud and over danger

PULASKI, Feb Z, 1856.
Editore Union add American The time is ap-
preaching for another congressional contest and
it would be well for the democrats of our district
as well az Others, to speak out their preferences,
canvass the claims of their respective avorites and
finally centre on some man who will be worthy
champion of their cause and crown it in the end
with triumph.
While the democracy all over the State should
be up and doing, making the proper preparations
for vigorous battle on the 18th of August there
are particular claims calling for the zeal and activity
of the democracy of the 18th congressional district
We have the disgrace Of CALLING defeat to obliter-
ate The memory of foolish and fatal apathy to
erase and to redeem by signal victory the repu-
tation we lost in the last contest.
In order to do this we must select for our stand
ard-bearer a man who has talent to advocate our
cause successfully, who has claims upon the pee
pie and who has the energy to canvass the district
thoroughly.
In glancing my mind eye over the best Of our
prominent democrats, it falls on no name so well
fitted for the race, and combining so many elements
of popular success, as Capt WILLIAM p. CHAMBLIss,
of Giles. He is democrat Of the most orthodox
school, he possesses talent of high order and
would carry into the contest the arbor of youth
and the energies ola persevering uphinching nature
He was our Representative in the last session of
the Legislature, and no man more nobly discharged
his duties or evinced more unwaveripg fidelity
to the priEciplesof his party. His readiness there
as a DICTATOR, his close attention to the routine of
business and thorough comprehension of the wants
of the country, made him an invaluable member
and won for him the respect and esteem of his
Neutrality-suspicious. and all who marked his course.
Were we disposed to pursue the category of claims
we might add that he served his country in the
two Mexican campaigns with distinguished honor
a soldier and high credit as an officer. His old
companions IN arms would greet his nomination.
with a cheering huzza and spare no pains to secure
his election. The Captain too besides his eminent
ly popular address, bears about him another ele-
ment of success which of late is regarded land
should be) as q matter of no small consideration
he is emphaticaly selfmade man. From an early
orphan boy-hood his course has been an upward
and honorable and thus far successful struggle with
circumstances which wouldhave dampened the ardor
and paralyzed the energies Of less dauntess and
determined spirit. fling out these hasty SUCCESS
tons that you may carry them home to the houses
Of the democrats through the district and let them
reflect upon them and make up their minds either
to select him or another at an early day as their
next candidate No choice would so well suit the
party of this end of the district, and his nomina-
ton is the almost universal desire of the
