The Nominations in Iowa Endorsement
blythe American state Cow cntiOn.

We learn from the Burlington Gazette Of
the Sth, that the Americans of Iowa held Il
State Convention at Iowa City on the 9th,
and sanctioned with scarcely a dissenting
voice the nomination of Fillmore and DOnel-
son. Strong resolves against coalition with
either the Republicans or the Democrats were
adopted, and the Convention ratified the Phila
dephia Platform in toto. An electoral ticket
was nominated, and pledged to advocate the
cause of the American ticket. Says the Ga
zette:
1t seems that notwithstanding few of the
leading Know Nothings did fuse with the
Black Republicans in their Convention of tie
ODD of February, yet The great mass Of the Or
der repudiate any such purpose, and, contrary
to what many lad been led to suppose, did
hold a State Convention at Iowa City on the
9th inst, and they ignored Black Republican
ism in toto by endorsing the nomination of
Fillmore and Donelson, and by nominating al
electoral ticket pledged to their support, thus
putting themselves squarely on the Philadel-
phia platform.

is moved by the spirit of injustice, to take
up unauthentftated reports Of the action of

up the sayings of open denouncers of a
body, and quote them against the integrity
of the body itself? Just-minded men will
say it is not. It's, however, not more diff
cult to expose the shallowness of such r
sorts, than it is to despise them.

Letter from MIR. {. r Ament.

To the Editors Of the Patriot:
have read the evidence elected under the
investigating resolutions of the Senate, touch
ing the official conduct of the Inspectors OF
the Penitcntiary, published in the Patriot oil
last Thursday.
feel it due 10 myself and the Pnblic to no.
tice part of the testimony of Gov. JOHNSON,
who was the principal witness in the case:
First, he says Sloan, Smith and myself as
sumed to be Inspectors. We were nominated
by Gov. johnson, confirmed by the Senate
according to law, Gov. Johnson read and
handed over to US the official notification OF
our confirmation by the Senate, pronounced
Us legal and lawful Inspectors for two years,
and urged us TO proceed Immediately to the
election of officers of the Prison. He also
proposed the election of Mr. White, of Lincoln,
as Principal Keeper. Had we assented to his
wishes, and ed rs he dictated, all would
have been right. think it quite probable
his wishes would have been respected, II he
had not, in urging them, employed language
in regard to tie people of Nashville and Da-
wilson county, unbecoming one in his station.
When he politely informed US that Mr.. White
was his choice, and if the people of Nashville
and Davidson county did not like his election,
s'let them 90 to hell and be damnedi' he threw
fire brand into my bosom at least, which is
not done burning yet We determined to act
for the good Of the State, and not to register
bis dictatorial decree.
Second. Gov. Johnson alleges that we were
nominated upon the principle of dividing the
Offices between Davidson and other counties.
This l most emphatically deny. Not word
was said about dividing the offices until after
our confirmation, when we met at his room,
the meeting being at his request. On the con-
trary. Gov. Johnson knows that was in favor
of some Nashville mechanic for Principal
Keeper, and that before he nominated Inc
stated to him frequently that the mechanics
of Ma hville had borne all the competition of
the Institution, and not one of them had ever
had an office in it.
Third. Gov. johnson charges that we con-
ferred offices on our town relations" holding
others in reserve to be disposed of in the
same way. Gov. Johnson knows that he
Gov. Johnson) advised Mr.. Sloan to bring
forward his (Sloan's) son for one of the offices,
that lie did SO, and that upon the appreciation
! of Gov johnson and the recommendation OF
the elder Sloan, the younger Sloan was ap-
pointed second clerk. This is the first time
have heard that there was any 'relative" held
| in reserve.
Fourth. Gov. johnson says the "InspectOrs
called upon me at my ro0'n after their NOM
instion." That meeting took place in this
way. Gov. johnson sent Mr.. Greenwood
! Payne to me and informed me of my confr-
nation, and requested me to meet him at his
room. ! complied, and having arrived at his
room, found Mr. Sloan already there. Suisse
quently, at the instance of the Governor,
called upon Mr.. Smith and requested his at,
tendance.
Ii any of the above facts are denied, tie
proof is at hand to establish them.

Mn. BCCHANAN's CHARTEs.-In the fall of
of 1919 James Buchanan made a donation of
four thousand dollars "for the relief of poor and
INDECENT females in the city of Lancaster" 1t
was made in the certificates of the Lancaster
six per cent. loan" The debt of the city, says
the Detroit Free Press, is perfectly safe and
good, and the interest always paid promptly.
The six per cent. interest on the donation thus
produces S240 per annum, to be applied to the
purchase and distribution of fuel to the poor
and INDECENT females. 1t is a perpetual trust,
and a perpetual fund that will furnish some
thirty or forty poor families with fuel enough
to prevent suffering from the want of it for all
time to come.
The above is only one of the evidences of Mr..
Buchanans judcious and warm-hcarted gene
rosity.

Democratic Meeting ON the Tippecanoe Battle
GrOund.-FIny thousand people present.
Our western exchanges, says the Washington
Union, come to us filed with the most glowing
accounts of the monster democratic meeting
which was held on the TippecanOe battle ground
on the 9th September A correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes:
"The largest political assemblage ever con-
yened at the west is now on the Tippecanoe
battle ground. 1t comprises Union men of all
parties, now at work with the democracy to Sc
cure the continued undivided existence of our
national confederacy, and to perpetuate a re-
publican form of government. Their number
is variously estimated at from forty to sixty
thousand. and l should think fifty thousand as
not exceeding the true amount Certainly 1t is
much the largest political gathering ever saw,
and have seen many.
"The train from Lafayette, which arrived at
noon, brought at least two thousand persons
including the Hon. John c. Breckinrldge, 3 A
Douglas, General Cass John Van Buren, Col
Preston, James B. Clay, and other distinguished
speakers.
Immediately there was grand rush for the
stand, and so eager were the masses to testify
their attachment, that the distinguished gentle
men above mentioned were borne along almost
over the heads of the crowd without volition of
their own.
When the principal rostrum was reached,
there was one of the most exciting and inspiring
scenes presented which can be imagined. AL
most as far as the eye could conveniently reach,
on either side, was dense throng of human
forms, packed as closely as they could stand,
with hats and bonnets off and swinging in the
air, while cheer upon cheer arose SO deep and
loud as might have made one think the spirit of
Tecumseh had entered each tree of the forest
surrounding the battle ground, and with one
accord the woods sent up shout, whose light
est effect would be to reanmate the sleeping
warriors who rested beneath the turf upon
which they stood

LIVES OF FREMoNT.-Here is what the New
York Herald, the special organ of the personal
Fremont party, as distinguished from the black
republican, says on the subject:
The so-caled lives of Fremont, with one
exception, are eXecrable; they are beyond eX-
ample the most airoci0us attempts at murder
that we have ever seen in the way of biography.
There has been one written by Mr. Bigelow,
aud another by Mr.. Upham. We have looked
into these volumes, aid really cannot conceive
that it would be possible to produce any thing
more calculated to injure and weaken the can
didate. Bgelow dives into the most absurd
and rid culous researches, rakng and scraping
up all sorts of private matters, apparently for
the purpose of giving material to the enemy;
for the very events upon which have been based
at least one half the personal assaults which
have been directed against Col. Fremont have
been first given in this book Blockheads should
never be politicians, particularly among an
intelligent, thinking people, like those of this
country"
