| PnILApstrHlA, Tuesday, Feb. 10.
The National Council Of the Amer.
lean party met to-day, Freeman, Y.
p, presiding. There was a warm Dc.
bate in the afternoon regarding the
Pennsylvania delegations. The Coun.
ell excluded the delegates who were
in favor of sustaining the Twelfth SEQ
ton, and admitted the set ignoring il,
b. vote Of 81 to As.
PHILADELPHIA, Wednesday, Feb. 20.
President Bartlett arrived, and pre-.
sided to-day. Reporters vera admit.
ted. There was an exciting dcba,s
on resembling the Twelfth Section
Dissatisfaction among the Southern
members has increased. A resolu-
ton to adjourn sine die was lost. A
resolution was introduced appointing
Z committee Of one from each State
to report declaration of rights, ss a
substitute for the Twelfth Section
Pending the vote on this, there was
much confusion, which was only ended
BY adjourning. 1t is believed that if
the resolution fails the whole South.
era delegation will withdraw.
PHILADELPHIA, Thursday, Feb. 2l.
The Convention spent most Of the
morning in considering the resolution
to rescind the Twelfth Section. Mr..
Evans moved to substitute new Plat.
form, as published in the American Or
gan, at Washington, on the 18th inst.
After long debate the motion was
carried. LOG to 76.

"CHAOS HAS COME AGAIN"

The Washington Organ has created
model platform for the American or
Know Nothing party Here it is:
And now what are American
principles?" For what purpose was
the American party formed Whist
il the ultimate scope Of its objects ?
Has it anything to do with the tariff
question: Nc it neither demands q
horizontal nor a protective tariff
Has it any creed on the questions Of
roads, canals, harbors, or public landsS
None whatever. 1t leaves these ques.
tons to the free action Of the Repre-
sentatives of the people, or to tho
States Was the American party
formed TO enslave the African race ?
Certainly not. Was it formed to get
up a crusade against those who hold
Africans in bondage. Certainly not.
lts, then, AS party, neither pro-bank
nor anti-bank, pro-tariff nor anti-tarif.
pro-internal improvement nor anti
internal improvement, pro-slavery nor
anti-slavery, but it is party formed
to carry into effect the maxim that
Americans shall rule America"
A party constituted upon such a
basic, and presenting such a non-com-
initial course to the consideration and
support Of the people Of the United
States, should receive the condemna-
ton Of all. 1t is alike an insult to
patriotism as we'll as to intelligence.
!: is insulting, not alone because il
authorizes the opinion that this coun.

further, that we should not make i'm
