WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-There is good
deal Of caucusing going on tonight. II
is generally understood, that the Black
Republicans and Free SoiIers, will con-
centrate 10 morrow, on Mr.. Banks of
Massachusetts. The caucus of Southern
Know-Nolhings, and National Democrats
and Wings Numbering 10, resolved to
reject all fusion with The Free Soil fac
tions; but have no hopes Of defeating
them. Greedy, Wade and Seward have
been working all day, to fuse the factions;
and are understood to have succeeded to-
night. We may therefore, look for an
organization io-murow, and the message
on Wednesday. The National Americans
will vote for Henry NJ. Fuller for Speak
er, and endeavor 10 draw the entire Dem
ocratic vote for him, by conceding 10 them
the clerk and printer, thus forming
Union party against the Free Soil faction.
They deny that the Republicans can, by
fusion, hold more than l05 votes, while
ll3 is necessary to elect.
The President persists in refusing TO
print the Message; and it will be sent 10
the two Houses in writing. The dis
patches received by the Atlantic, repre-
sent our affairs with England unchanged
since the departure of the Canada. Mr..
Buchanan says Lord Clarendon and the
British Cabinet is endeavoring to patch
up reply 10 our Government, with ref
erence to the violation of our neutrality
laws by the British agents in order, if
possible, not to wound our sensitiveness,
and at the same time shield Mr.. Cramp-
ton.

Trouble appears TO be brewing in the
Democratic camp and the prospects are
that the 9th of January convention will
be pretty hot place. The Democrats
of Georgia have held convention, and
marked out a platform for the party,
which looks little elavish, Northern
Democrats, read the following resolutions
and see how you like the stand taken by

'RcsOlUed, That we adopt and ap.

Georgia: Resolved, (by the General AS

Unblushing Falsehood.

Amongst the many false statements
made by the Anti-American papers, in
order 10 create northern prejudice against
the American party is the assertion that
AtchisOn and Slringfellow, with their

low estimate upon the Intelligence of their
readers, or be entirely indifferent 10 the
light in which their statements are regar-

very recent history that A'chison has all

We proclaim 10 the world the following,
PRINCIPLES OF THE AMERICAN
PARTY OF OHIO

|. The unlimited freedom of Religion dis
connected with politcs-hostility to ecclesias-
tical influences upon the affairs Of government
equality of rights all naturalized Emf.
grants who are thoroughly Americanized, and
owe no temporal allegiance, by reason of their
religion higher than that to the Constitution.
H. No Interference with the rights of citi-
zenshp aleady acquired by Foreigners, and
the protection of law to all who honestly emf
CRATE from love Of liberty but the exclusion Of
foreign paupers and felous, and a refusal to
extend the right Of suffrage to all who come
hereafter until they shall haveresded 81 years
in the United States and complied with the
naturalization Laws.
III. Opposition to all political organizations
composed Exclusively OF Foreigners, and to
Foreign Military Companies, and to all attempts
to exclude the Bible from Schools supported by
the, government"
" Slavery is local-not national we op
pose its extension in any of our territories, and
the increase of its political power by the ad
mission into the Union of any Slave State or
otherwise and We demand Of the General Gov
crnnent an immediate redress of the great
wrongs which have been inflicted upon the
cause Of Freedom and the American character
by the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise, and
the introduction OF Slavery into Kansas in vio-
lation Of laws by the force of arms, and the de-
struction of the elective franchise.
V. In humble imitation of the wisdom of
Washington We oppose all intervention in the
affairs of Foreign States yet on all proper oc-
casion, we will not withhold our sympathy
from any people aspiring to be free
. VI. We support American Industry and ge-
MUS against the adverse policy of Foreign ma.
tions and facilities TO internal and external
commerce by the Improvement of rivers and
harbors and the construction of national roads
uriting the various sections of the Union
VII. The Union of these States should be
made perpetual by faithful allegiance to the
Constitution.
VIII. In State policy we zealously advocate
Retrenchment and Reform--a modification of
the present oppressive system Of Taxation and
a liberal system OF Public Schools.

Proposition TO CONVERT THE OHIO Rit
YER INTO A SLACK WATER CANAL.-At a
late meeting of the Pittsburgh Board OF
Trade, gentleman submitted a PROPOSE
lion on the subject of improving The Ohio
river, by converting it into slack water
canal. The suggestions were unanimous
ly approved by the Board, and were ear
neslly recommended to public considera-
tion. The distance from Pittsburgh to-
the mouth of the Ohio is 977 miles, with
an aggregate fall of 425 feet. II is ass UNI.
ed that to convert the entire river into
slack-waler, would require only fifty locks
of an average lifto feet, which would
create pools of an aggregate length of 1872
miles. The estimated cost of the work is
from seven to len millions of dollars for
the whole work, which is supposed TO be
about half The expense of an ordinary
canal, or about one thiid The average cost
of a railroad.

eCPThe Circular of the NNeely Nor
NAL Schools, which has just been laid on
our table, has reminded us Of the fact,
that, of the thirteen or fourteen thousand
teachers in this State, a very small pro-
portion have anything beyond mere schol-
arship as a qualification for Teaching.
While the State pays 81 ,6s4, ,694 ,36
annually for the education of her s19, ,4OS
youth. She has not paid one cent TO-
ward furnishing the main. spring,-the

bric-a Teacher. Since it is admitted
that there is no measure Of comparison
between the common teacher and the
trained proficient, who, under skilIlul
masters and actual exercise is prepared to
enter the School room, informed, replete,
and ready to cope with all forms of per-
versity prompt 10 detect, fertile in eXpe-
dients to turn 10 good account the worst
propensity, it is Astonishing that no pro-
vision has been made for Normal lnsruc-
ton.
The Teachers, however, have moved
in this. The first response to this call
has been from Mr.. Cyrus M'Neely, Of
Hopedale, Har., Co., Ohio, who has made
a donation to the Association Of property
valued at $11 900. This has been fol-
lowed by Mrs. Eliza Hogg, of Cadiz,
who has erected, at an expense of some
$4,000 or $1,000 all edifce to be used as
a Boarding House for the female members
Of the School.
| For the endowment of the Schools,
some fourteen individuals, previous to the
meeting of the recent Institute, pledged
500 each, which sum was increased at
the Institute by additional pledges gilmore
than 50, 1000.
The School, we learn, was opened on
the 9th ullimo, by Mr.. John Ogden, Of
the Ohio Wesleyan University Principal
of the Normal, aud Mr.. Edwin Regal, Of
the Hopedale High School, Principal oi
the Academic Department.
The regular course will occupy al
least Two years, to such as have acquired
tolerably thorough knowledge of the
branches usually taught in Common
Schools.
From Mr. M'Necly, WHO has been tc
Pittsburgh to procure bell &C., for the
School, we learn that the prospects o.
respectable attendance are encouraging.

fSJThe Postmaster General has direct
ed that each distinct circular, no matter
how many may be printed on u sheet, must
be charged with postage as one circular, or
the whole, if sealed, with letter postage.
Also when slips are introduced into pack
age for the purpose of delrauding the gov
ernment of postage, the package will be
subjected to letter postage.-[Exchange.
1t is presumed this is true. A few weeks
since an order was issued from the p. NJ
General, that no circular could be sent in
the mail, as a circular. which was enclosed
in an envelope on which there was printed
a business advertisement. There is no more
responsibility attached to the P. o. Depart
ment by the printing on the envelope; there
is no weight to it ! there is nothing gained
to the government By this absurd, ridicu-
ouS circular Tor bully to the deputy Post
Masters. The above paragraph, which we
find floating around, is but another step to-
wards the sublimely ridiculous. This bull
from the prelate of the P. o. Department,
has more horns than are apparent at 4
glance, and it would not be at all surpris-
ing if the next year does not find one Of
the horns quietly lifting the gentleman out
of his seat, and pitching him unceremoni-
onsly over into Pennsylvania, to do penance
for his manifold transgressions.-- --[Gazette.

fly judgements from the obligations of which
they had supposed themselves relieved by

perfect rascality in'that memorable Con
ventiOn; good old CoMmbiana did give
to Stuart ten of the..townships out of the
eighteen. Was this "sham or true" de-
mocracy! Is it not true that the infa-
nous Wilson of Salem and the equally
contemplate De-Pugh Of Butler, were in
strucIed TO vote for US, and in direct vio-
lationiof their positive instructions, voted
for Stuart who had not received the vote
of one solitary man in the primary meet
ings of the townships they misrepresen-
ted in that convention! And is it not al
so true that Mr.. Gill Of the patriot was a

mocracy of old Columbiana county p
Many honorable and high minded demo-
Gratis of your county, friend Gill, became
so disguised with that move-upon the
part of the "Lisbon Clique" that they
never after had confidence in the party,
and have ultimately left the "Sham de-
mocracy," throwing the bogus concern
greatly in the minority, and thus depriving
YOU and your friends, of many good
slice from the county loaf.
II seems hard, Br. Gill, but you will
have to try. and stand it. The following
