A Trna Ameriean.

AT a recent American meeting in Philadelphia,
Mr.. J. J. Fuller, merchant OF New Orleans, made
the following statement:
When left New Orleans, had my passage en-
gagged in the steamer Persia, which left yesterday
for Liverpool, but when / heard, and was con-
vinced by actual observation, that the present po
litical contest is one of the.utmost Importance,
probably the most important in the brief history
OF the United States, / said to myself, because
loved my country from East to West, and from
North to South, this is no time for any one with
patriotic feelings swelling his breast TO leave his
post of duty. [Applause.l wrote to my agent
to give up my berth, and that under no circum-
stances could be compelled to go abroad during
the present crisis.
Mr. Fuller is true American, and we trust his
example will exert an influence upon other mem
bers OF the same party. What is now required to
elect Mr.. Fillmore is systematic and concentra-
ted effort. Without such effort, the best cause
never did and never will succeed.

The calliope or musical steam whistle, has been

The yellow fever is still the general topic OF con-

A bag of letters, intended to go out by the
steamer Alps yesterday, was seized at the wharf
Just as it was on the point of being conveyed on
board The seizure was made by a customhouse
officer, and the bag taken to the post Office. The
cause of the seizure was, it is said, to prevent
fraud upon the Post Office Department, the post
age on the letters not having been paid. The
steamer was detained until to-day, when she will
sail at IL o'clock. She takes very few passengers,
and $37 900 in specie. The CNnard and Collins
steamers take the bulk of travel just now, although
the Hermann and Washington take out goodly

Convention Of Dentists is now in session In
this city. At its meeting yesterday paper was

to be raised. In the evening the members of the

rendered them by Messrs Jones, White, and Nc
Curdy, at the Astor House. The affair passed of
very pleasantly.
Victoria, or the World Overcome, il the last

the most attractive; but Victoria will be found to
exceed either, an entertaining work, conveying
both wholesome and moral Impressions. 1t is I'M
necessary to say that the book appears in the ex-
eellent style of all works from the above press.

New York, Aug. 8, 1856.
There is strong probability that our post Office
will ere long be removed to ST. Johns Park, unless
the merchants make move in the matter at once.
1t is understood that the plat of ground has been
offered to government for one million of dollars /;
but so far, the government officials have expressed
an unwillingness TO give over $850,000. The diff
ference is so trihing taking everything into con.
sideraton, that should not be at all surprised to
hear Of the bargain being closed at any moment.
Should it be consummated, it will be outrage on
New York, and vigilance committee may be the
result. Your city post Office would be Just about
as convenient to the citizens of Washington east
OF the Capitol, as ours in St. Johns Park.
would remind Uncle Sam of one thing before
closing the bargain and that is, the Trinity church
vestry cannot give title 10 this property as it is
wen known that Il rightfully belongs to the heirs
of Anneke Jams. BY the way, it is think over
one year since the Legislature authorized the land
commissioners of this State to investigate the title
to Trinity church property, but SO far nothing has
been done. Lieut.. Gov. Raymond, of the New
Yerk Times, is one Of the commissioners, but in-

The House then went into Committee Of the
Whole on the state Of the Union, and resumed the
consideration of the bill making appropriations for
the certain civil expenses of government, the ques
ton being on amendment of Mr. BOWIE of Nd,
appropriating $267 900 to enable the President to
comply with a contract for the purchase of the
Merchants Exchange, Baltimore, for a custom
house and post Office.
Considerable debate was had, Mr.. HARRIS of
Maryland, opposing the amendment on the ground
that the building proposed to be purchased was
not in locality convenient to the people OF Balti
more, and therefore not suitable for post Office.
MIR. BOWIE, of Maryland, replied; and, after
further debate, the amendment was rejected.
The bill was then laid aside TO be reported to
the House, and the committee next proceeeed to
consider the amendments of the Senate (69 in
number) to the Indian appropriation bill in which
business they were engaged when our report
closed.

JoHH @. FRRN0sr--It has been intmated that
the Republicans may possibly nominate Col. Free
mont for the Presidency. He is as good man TO
throw their votes away on any one, but il would
be about as opposite to their professions and as
consistent as the nomination of Van Buren, in 1848
II was stated at the American State Council on
Tuesday by gentleman who was present in the
Legislature Of California when Fremont was can
didate for Senator that he actually crawled his
belly in subservency to the South that he declar-
ed with Boosting that he was South Carolinian,
brought up at the feet of that Gamael of slavery,
John @. Calhoun, that he believed entirely in CAL
houn's doctrines, and that he would carry out
those views if elected to the Senate. His bid pro-
cured the nomination and election and he fulfilled
his promise by bowling to the behests of South
Carolina. Still we think it very probable that the
Republicans may take him, and if they do, we pro-

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUccEssIoN.--The Judiciary
Committee of the Senate, through Senator Butler,
has submitted bill regulating the succession of
the Presidency. The act of 1892 ievolves the
Office first upon the President pro tenn. of the Sem
ate, or, if there be no such officer, then upon the
Speaker of the House of Representatives. Should
either of these officers be ineligible on the score
of age or otherwise, or not be in existence, an
interregnum would occur. Judge Buffers bill
provides that il there be no President pro tenn. of
the Senate, nor Speaker of the House, or if these
officers should be ineligible from any cause, then
the Chief Justice of the United States shall sue
coed to the Presidency, in the event Of a vacancy
in that Office and the Vice Presidency after the
Chief Justice, then each Of the Associate Justices,
according to seniority, to hold until the Electoral
College can be assembled. This law becomes inn
portant, in view of the present opposition of PAL
ties and party men, and the intention is to endea-
vor to secure its passage during the present SEES
