The Right Policy.

We were much gratifed at the general tenor
of the speeches at the American meeting in the
City Hall. on Thursday evening, always except
ing of course, that Fillmore speech) They
showed that there existed pretty unanimous
feeling among the Anti Fillmore Americans to
unite with all other opponents of the National
Administration on the single issue of opposition
to the extension of slavery. We doubt not, that
were the honest masses of what once composed
the American party Of this State, in general
convention, the spirit which would animate them
would be in accordance with the wise action of
the Americans of Rhode Island. In that State
they have nobly responded to the call of the Ma
tional Committee appointed at the Pittsburg
Convention, and united with the Republicans in
the call for State Convention to elect delegates
to Philadelphia. The same thing will be done
in New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Ohio,
and other States, and can Massachusetts, be be-
hind thems We trust and believe not
1t was, consequently, with great regret, that
we noticed an intimation, given out by one of
the speakers at the Thursday evening meeting,
that separate Northern American organization
was to be continued, and that it was their in
tention to nominate candidates for Presidentand
Vice President, at convention in New York on
the 10th Of June. Now, it is unnecessary to
state. that such policy as this would not only
be in direct opposition to the course adopted by
Americans in other States, but it il would be a
completely suicidal policy utterly defeating its
own ends, and be sure, by dividing our forces, to
give the victory to the Administration in the
Presidential contest.
The Providence Transcript has afforded some
excellent advice on this point. And the organs
Of the American party in New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Ohio, &C., are equally emphatic in the en-
dorsement the policy Of responding to the call
for the Philadelphia Convention.
The position which the candidate Of the Con-
venhon should occupy, 70 be satisfactory to all
the diviaions Of the opposition to the Nebraska
democracy, is precisely thas occupied by Mr..
Banks when candidate for the speakcrship Of
the House. We have given IL before, but now
give il again. When interrogated as to his views
on various points aside from the slavery issue,
Mr., Banks said
"As to the other questions propounded, they
are SUBORDINATE n thatsrespecting slavery in
Kansas, and he would not ask any man what he
thought OF this or that measure (the tariff natu.
raliaatiOn Of foreigners, &c..) bnt would unite
with ALL to interdici slavery in the territories"
What can be fairer than this Az All events,
itis the only policy on which there 0an be any

CoRoNER's INoUEsT-O Saturday last an
inquest was held before Coroner Baker, upon the
body of Benjamin Partridge, of this city, which
was found floating in salisbury's pond, early on
the morning of that day, by a boy who was in
pursuit of musquashes.
Mr.. Partridge was fish pedlar and the last
time hewas seen alive, was on the 10th day of
January last. An advertisement was inserted in
the papers of the tenth of lastmonth, describing
him as man "fifty-four years of age, five feet
eight inches high, and subject to fits and tempo.
rary insanity"
The body was in good state of preservation,
but had the appearance of having been in the
water long time. There were no marks of vio-
lence upon the body, but the face was covered
with the stains of blood, if it had dried upon
the skin before the body was placed in the water
The fact that the pond was frozen quite solid at
the time Mr.. Partridge was missed by his friends
seems to preclude the probability of his having
fallen through the ice, and it is said that there
are some circumstances which show that he might
have been foully dealt with
The mystery which envelopes the matter, is
such that the Coroner deemed it necessary to ad-
journ the inquest until Tuesday, for the purpose
of more thorough investigation than could be
had on Saturday.

A NAN FROZEN TO DEATH IN MINNESOTA,
AND EATEN BY WoLvEs..-We learn from the
Northwestern Democrat, that DR. T. N. Rip.
ley, in company with Mr.. McLelland, in the
latter part of February, left Glencoe, about
fifty five miles southwest of that place, for
Ferrestviie, new town located in the early
part of the past winter. They lost their wav.
and wandered through the forests and over
the prairies, until the morning of the first of
March, instant, when they reached Round
Lake, five miles distant fromsthe termination
OF their proposed journey, when the doctor
declared himself unable to proceed further,
and lay down upon the snow, completely
chilled and exhausted, Mr.. McLelland used
all means in his power to arouse him, but in
vain, and proceeded alone on his way to For
restville, where he arrived at dusk, entered a
shanty, part of which was only covered, in
which he remained twenty days solitary and
alone, subsisting the whole time on one pound
of cheese and quart frice, and having been
able to kindle fire but three times during
the time.
On the goth inst, a surveying party which
was to follow him and the Doctor, arrived,
heard his sad story, and returned with him 20
bhakapee, the former residence of DR.. Rip
ley. Mr.. McLelland is now under the care
of physicians and friends at Shakapee. Both
of his feet were so badly frozen as to render
amputation necessary just above the ankle. :
1t is possible he may recover.
DIR. Ripley was about twenty. eight years
of age, and a native of New York, where he
is connected with some of the first families
We learn that fragments of his remains were
found having been nearly devoured by the
wolves. Mr.. McLelland states that it was
with the utmost difficulty that he kept the
wolves from devouring him, while in the cab

founded new cities, changed wildernesses into
villages, and served the public in the legislat-

barrassed, his notes being endorsed by friends
for some $4,000 and other debts due from
him to the amount of $685.
AT this time, while some of his creditors
sued him, others lent him $4,000, which ena-
bled him to begin anew. He now announces
that he has paid up all his debts again, and is
once more ahead in the world. Such an ex-
ample of honesty thus again repeated, is very
pleasant thing to notice. We trust that Mr..

REMARKABLE SURGICAL OPERATIoN.-The
New York Mirror says that DR.. Carnochan,
an eminent surgeon of that city, has recently
performed an operation for neuralgia of an al
most incredible character. The patient had
been tortured with neuralgia in the face for
seven years, and had submitted to various
treatments by distinguished physicians and
surgeons without obtaining permanent relief.
DR.. Carnochan undertook the novel and haz-
ardous operation of trepanning the cheek bone
and chiseling out the root of the infamed
nerve which caused all the suffering This
he accomplished with the aid of chloroform,
the oreratlnn lasting nearly one hour. When
the nerve was cut off the patient jumped up
mechanically but on recovering his conscious
ness he had no memory of pain. He is now
doing well; and for the first time in many
years can eat and sleep in peace.

An attempt was made Thursday night, to
throw the Boston express train from the track
near Port Chester, on the New York and

time to prevent serious catastrophe. On
the night previous, near the same place,
large rock was placed between the rails and
