Anti-Amcrican Conventions.

The national committee Of the anti-Amer-
lean party, at their session in this city on yes
terday, fixed upon the first Monday in June
next, as the day of the meeting of their ma
ticnal convention. We hope they will have
"a good time of it, I" and that their immaculate
candidate Franklin Pierce, of New Hamp-
shire, will receive unanimous vote for Presi-
dent, It is the will and pleasure Of the office
holders, who In the main constitute the Jack
SON Association Of this city, that he should be
the man, and surely no one will deny that he
is "a marvellously proper man" to represent
the office holding clique
Mr.. Buchanan having been laid upon the
Shelf by that disinterested association, whose
patriotism no one can question, and Governor
Wise being rather young for the position, we
presume Mr.. Pierce will have no opposition
at least we hope so--from the ranks Of anti
Americanism.
AS to such small men as Senator Hunter,
Governor Dickinson, Senators Bright Douglas,

American party from their rule or influence,
when such profound statesmen, incorruptible
patriots, and incompatible heroes, as Franklin
Pierce and John w. Forney, bless the country

neys forbearance and patriotism are asun-
bounded as we suppose they are from his as
sociations, perhaps he viii wait another term,
in the assurance, that at the end thereof, he will
be hailed as the worthy successor of his spotless
predecessor, by the grateful foreigners We
see nothing in the way of this programme, pro-
vided always however, that Bishop Hughes
remain satisfied with continuing to be "the
power behind the throne, greater than the
throne ITSELF" with such men as his willing in

But if it should SO happen, unfortunately,
that John should become dissatisfied with his

The payment of the January dividends has re-
lieved the money market, aud impsrts some activi-
ty to stock operations. Virginia and Missouri 6's
sold in New York on the Sd instant at and 2 per
cent advance, allowing for the interest paid on the
I'd. The general feeling is cheerful and confident,
and there seems to be sufficiency of money for
all business purposes.
Railroad Stocks have improved from two causes,
first, the semi-annual interest on the Bonds and
dividends on the Stocks were in most cases, pune
tualy paid and secondly the transit trade In pro-
duce fron-the interior is more active and prosper
GUS than ever before known. As an example, we
may state that the receipts of the New York and
Erie for December, 1855, were $650,000 against
$490, 900 for the same month last year.
A further improvement will be felt in the market
when the money discussed on the settlement day
shall have been dispersed into the various chan
nels of business. The sums thus put into circula-
ton in New York during the present week is said
to amount to $l0,0oo,oOO.
Foreign Exchange has declined, being quoted
for the best bills on London at l0S IA a 108 Ia.
There is no fear of large shipmeats Of gold for
the present, and the import and export trade Of
the country is in healthful condition.
Land Warrants at the reduced prices have been
more active during the week, owing to large
amounts being held up in the countryside sup-
ply not being quite equal to the demand-which
caused an advance of &c. per acre. The market
is firm at the above quotations.

Mr.. SMITH, of Tennessee, when his name was
called, rose, and by Unanimous consent spoke He
said that an insidious attempt had been made to
throw the fault of not organizing upon the Demo.
Gratis and the administration. Mr.. WALKER had
moved TO put Mr.. Ora in the chair, and he had
voted to lay it on the table.
He said there was party agreeing with them
in the great vital issue which was before the peo-
pie, and yet they were working and planning
against them The Black Republicans were try.
ing to overthrow the Democrats, but could do
nothing without the secret order. Mr.. s. went on
speaking about Black Republicans, when gen
tleman from Ohio wanted some information in
regard to the term

appropriate to a party that cared for nought but
negroes.
Mr.. s. then spoke at length in regard to the re-
marks of Mr. EUsrIs, and went into full discus
sion of the objects of the Republicans and the
ends that would be caused by them. He thought
the most important part of all the constitution was
that 10 regard to slavery.
When Mr.. SMITH had concluded his speech,
the cali of the roll was continued till the Of
Mr. WHITNEY was reached.
Mr. WHITNEY addressed the House in defence

Platform, and in reply TO Mr.. EUsrIs.
Mr.. QUITMAN said that they had resolved not
to speak more than ten minutes, except by unani
nous consent, and that they would probably have
