The Union q. American gives the follow
ing paragraph as an emanation from Mr..
FULLER, whose sound sentiments on the
slavery question we commended to its pc
rusal last Friday:
81 am in favor of free soil, free speech, free
labOr, and free meu, being a WiJmOt PrOUisO
man Up to the hub, and utterly opposed TO the
extension Of sLaUery."
J.HSAseSentiments are unlike anything we
have seen from Mr.. FULLER We ask our
neighbor to furnish us with the record of
them. We desire to know the time, place,
and circumstances under which they were
uttered. Mr. FULLER, in the sketch Of his
remarks, republished by us Friday, from
the Congressional Globe, states that he had
never taken any public position on the Will
mot ProviSo question, not being in Con-
gress when it was agitated, and thereupon
proceeds to take ground against it,

who dad RIchard.on Vote For7

The Democratic presses are hot in their pur-
suit OF Fuller for not voting for Speaker, and
charge him with lodging the question. But
they never say word of Wilmot Provisn Rich
ardsOn. Who did he vote for upon the final
vote for Speaker We are also told that had
the whole American vote been cast for Aiken
he would have been elected This is all very
well But suppose the whole Democratic vote
had been cast for him, would he not still have
been eleotedl Banks got l03 and Aiken 100.
Now let us see how many Democrats lodged
the question. John Hickman, Democrat,
voted tor Daniel Wells; Parker, Barclay, Bag
ly, Craige, Seward, Taylor, all Democrats,
failed 10 vote for some cause, seven in number,
any -four Of whom could have secured the cleo
ton o. Aiken. Upon the last ballot four
Americans voted for Fuller, andthree failed to
vote. Now, then, we ask who is to blamel
The plurality rule by which Banks Was elect
ed, was introduced by Democrat, and voted
for by II Democrats, and against by every
American, so says the Tribune, their bitterest
opponent; and yet, when the vote for Speaker
was taken, there were rs many Democrats alb.

Americans. We give the facts aud leave ev-

The Nominating Convention.

We regret to see that, after the Nation
al Council has given the American Party
a sound National Platform, the proceedings
Of the nominating Convention have been
characterized by scenes Of disorder and con-
fusion. We do not know, hut we fear that
the cause of this is q determination Of Nor
them delegates to make a nomination of
candidates for President and Vice Presi-
dent, whilst the general desire of Southern
delegates is for postponement of that i'm
portant work. We hope the meeting of
Southern delegates Saturday night will re-
suit in the restoration of order and har-
mOny

MONDAY, FEBRUARY Is, 1866.


z We had the pleasure of laying before
the readers of the Patriot, Saturday, a tel
egraphic synopsis of the platform adopted
BIZ the National American Council on the
2lst inst, furnished us by Gen. ZorAIcoF-
FER The following despatch win inform
them by whose votes the platform was
adopted:
"PmLADEIPHIA, Feb. %, 1856.
=" W. HY SIXTH The Platform was adopt
ed by Southern and Northern National votes,
with few exceptions. FKZ."
This vote satisfies us that our construc-
ton of the platform is correct. 1t not onl,
does not IGNORE the slavery question:" but
goes a step in advance even of the 18th
section of the platform of 1855, and takes
a position on the slavery question, as
"Sound as virgin gold" Our neighbor of
the Banner, having quoted our construc-
ton, comments thereon as follows:
If that be the true construction of the
platform-that is to say, if the platform is to
be understood as asserting that 'SoutLern men
have the right to remove into the territories
with their slaves, and, under the Federal Con
stitution, are entitled to protection in their
rights of property in slaves"-and shat the
people of the territories have no authority,
under the Federal Constitution, to legislate
upon the subject of slavery, except to protect
slave property; but have power, 10 the organi-
Zation of State Government, to establish or
prohibit slavery those are the doctrines,
we repeat, which are asserted in the platform,
then we have no hesitation in saying that the
platform is perfectly sound on the slavery
question, and that it is the only sound platform
on that question that has ever been adopted
by any National Convention of any party.
Those are the doctrines which we have ever
maintained; and if they shall be recognized as
true and be accepted by the American party
at the North, that party will be the only sound
party at the North on the slavery question.

NUMBER 229


Our Sag Nicht friends are certainly the greatest
grnmblers Of the age and if the author of the cele
nfated comedy of the GRrHELER lived nowadays he
cohid doubtless add some new touches to his work
by the observation of men whom he would meet with
every day. ''''
A few years ago, at an election in New Orleans a
shameful and dsgracefu riot occurred originating in
the insolen ontrages Of foreigners which led tn the
killing OF several, and the woundng of MANY more
Immediately thereafter. howl perfectly terrific
went up from the Sag Nicht press, and bitter were
the anatheInas against the authorities for not inter
posing with the strong arm of the law to SUPPRESS th
disorder which their partaans had viliainousIy
instgated.
Well time rolls on. The Presidential election takes
place, and through the ZEAL the energy and the firm
ness OF the present accomplished and most worthy
Aayor OF New Orleans, the day passed off quietly.
No blood stained the streets Of the city no ruffan
arm assaed the peaceful citizen; all was harmonious
Law and order were triumphant, and the people
nailed with gladness the reign Of tranquility. And
this was accomplished be it recorded, to the
everlasting honor Of CHARLES N. WATERMAS, the
model executive of the city in the face of prepara-
tons made BY leaders Of the sham Democratic party
tor an extensive outbreak evnced by the quantity
Oh arms and ammunition they mad stored adjacent to
the polls, and by the published certificates of some Of
the miserable mercenaries to whom they had given
blood money in advance, to reek their hell;sh hate
against unoiendng AMERICAN CITIZENS. .0
!, ana because forsooth, the mayor Of that city, in
the fearless and patriotic discharge of the duties of
bis ONCE checknated the diaboca plots against the
peace OF the city and the purity of the ballot box
because, through the promptness Of his movements
and the energy Of his character, he 'dslodged from
their. secret hiding places the disciples Of Guy
Fawkes, and preserved the fair fame and good name
Of New Orleans from the repetition of outrages cal
cnlated seriously to impair its reputation-we find
these same worthless who cried out during the past
difficulties, against the authorities for not enforcing
thr laws, and charging them with connvance at for.
mer dficulties-now shamelessly and audaeiously
denouhcing them tor doing the very thing which they
SO grossly traduced them for not doing at previous
elections. Mayor Waterman would have lively
time if he undertook to please these " grumblers 4
and we are glad to know that he estimates their
rawlings at their proper value They will harm him

note of
A quantity of bills, purportng. we believe, to be
"ftties of the Bank Of Mobile, are in circulation in
this city and our friends to be on their guard
against being cheated in them. They are signed
with the Presidents name and that OF J. Emanuel as
cashier. Unlike those on the Canal Bank of New
Orleans, they are badly executed, for the signature
OF Wm. r. Halet is so unlike the original as to be
easily detected by those familiar with the original.

like the hateful mosquitoes, will ever sing you pleas

lAP0RTAST RULING AS TO MERCANTILE Con-
TRACTS.--In the Superior Circuit Court. New York,
an action was brought by J. c. Kendall against Pol
lock u Co., of Philadelphia, to recover damages
alleged to have been sustained by R. G. Fairchild &
Co.. by of the refusal of the house of Pollock
& Co., of Philadelphia, to take eleven cases of China
silks, imported alleged, on their account. Tie
defendants moved a nonsuit on the ground that no
contract had been proved.
The Judge having examined the correspondence
between the two houses in which the contract was al
ICED to exist said that he was clearly of opinion that
the minds OF the parties had never come together,
without which no contract could have been made ::
that on the 18th Of March, Pollock Il Co., proposing
that they should import eleven cases of China silks
for them giving a description Of the kind, quality
and color of the goods, and fixing upon proposed
maximum of price of CT cents, but adding that in
case were they to be charged more than the market
price of the goods at the time they should be deliver
ed. On the day following, Fairchld & Co. replied,
obiectng to the terms. and proposing that Pollock
Co. should either pay G75 cents in any event pay
the market price OF the goods when they were de-
livered and also adding that they had sent on the
order The next day Pollock 4 Co. replied to this,
refusing the terms last proposed. and said that Fair
child 4 CO. must Use their judgment as to whether
they would cOunterrnand the order which had been
The Judge remarked that it had been said that
Pollock Co should have replied to the several let
ters Of F. Co. asking them to decide upon what
terms they would take the goods but he thought
that their answer to the terms Of Fairchid Co
was sufficiently definite and explicit. They had
fused the offer Of Farchild & Co. and submitted a
counter proposition, which they refused to accept.
1t was evident that no contract had been made and
the complaint must be dismissed, with costs.
