Of the fundamental principles of the Ameri-

But the slave influence in the Philadelphia
Convention for the purpose of admitting the
pro-slavery Catholic delegates from LOUISE
ana, and to secure the pro-slavery Catholic
votes Of the United States, ignored the s'Hi-
erarchy" and Supremacy test, and in lieu
thereof established plank on which the
Pope and all his Cardinals may be as readily
admitted and stand as fair as the first Amer
IAN in the land.
Is this the entertainment to which the pro-
slavery portion of the American order invites
us in their nomination Of Fillmore and Don
elSon? pause for reply.

KEo1UE, April LIST, 1856.

Copy Of Jas. Creighton's Statement.
Agreeable 10 the award Of the City Coun-
Gil Of Keokuk, for the grading Of the north
east end Of Third street, on Wednesday the
10Th day Of March, |, James Creighton, went
to Mr.. kilbourne, "Mayor," to give him Sc
curity in 400 acres of lands, or my brother,
+. g. Crc .hton, he taking the latter after
consulting with Mr.. Merriam and by his,
the Mayors, orders, Mr.. Merriam drew the
bond ana instructions 10 the Engineer how
70 draw the agreement, which took imme-
dately to the Engineers room, and also, the
bond to +. b. Creighton to sign. On the fol-
lowing day the contract was left IN the May
or's Office by the Engineer, whereupon he
informed me Of the fact then went in
search Of the Mayor TO sign the contract, and
found him in front Of his buildings, he went
over to his Office, ana Just before we went up
the stairway, | said 10 him, we or | had
tools bought to commence the work in the
afternoon his reply was that we would be
after them for their money soon; by this time
we were in the room, he got the article anu
filled it, as it appears on the face OF the IN
strumcnt, he calling in previously Mr.. Mar
tin 10 witness il. After ii was done ! re-
quested him to have me q copy written out
his reply was that it would be in the Office at
any time for me TO see, and write one, if
wanted one; he repeating this twice. After
tho above, he, the Mayor, says to some three
] or four that were then in the room, snow
j down comes the hill," and think Mr.. Martin
was one of said persons; we then went to
work with, to all appearance, his full appro-
baton and consent.
Aftor having been al work five days, we
received "A notice to stop the work, us he, the
Mayor, ''would not let the work now for good
and sufficient reasons" Gas said Mayor deem
ed il inexpedient at this time } however, hay-
ing made good, and what we still believe
70 be a bondfde contract with the City Of
keokuk, for the grading of said street, we
have continued to prosecute the work under
said contract up to the present time, and
hope 50 TO do, unless otherwise ordered by
The City Council.
After having had the ''notce" served on
US, then went to the Mayors Office and
asked the Recorder" to see the contract
he informed me the Mayor had it; then
waited until night and met him in his office,
At which time | requested him to let me see
II, which he declined, saying it was his paper.
Those are the facts in the case, and AZ our
contract and bond are now in the hands Of
+ the City Council, we hope to be fairly dealt
with. JAMES CREIGHTON.

For the Gate City.
The American order.

MEssRs. EDITORS Having for many years
advocated the necessity of change in our
Naturalization Laws, for the purpose of
maintaining the purity of the ballot box,
regarded the American order at it's start with
considerable degree of favor, although
did not entirely approve of the secrecy and
mystery which shrouded its proceedings.
But the position which that order has as
sumed on the slave question leaves the
friends of freedom in the United States no
other alternative than to withhold from it
their sympathy AID support.
The great, prevailing, and absorbing issue
of the day, unique stionably is the extension
or non-extension Of slavery; and on this
question depends the continuance Of our In
ion and Republican government. Ii it be-
comes the settled policy of this Government
that slavery is sectional, and freedom nation
al, then Will Kansas and Nebraska be admit
ted as free States, the Union will be saved,
and slavery agitation cease forever. But
shall the principles Of the Declaration of In
! dependence be stricken down and tramped
under foot in Kansas, who shall lift the veil
Of the future and develop the unhappy civil
and political consequences that will surely
4 follow.
! The American order through the influence
Of the slave power Of the south, and the
slave dough faces Of the north, has been In
duced to adopt the same platform on the
slave question with that of Pierce, Douglas,
Atehison and Stringfellow, and having sac
rifced freedom so far as they could on the
black altar Of slavery, the free Americans
cannot and will not longer act in unison
with it.
The recent Philadelphia Convention have
shown their determination to abjure every
vital Sc ntiment Of Americanism to advance
slavery. ssResistance to the aggressive po-
litical policy Of the Roman Catholic Hierar-
chy in this country, and that no person who
admits tho supremacy of the Pope shall be
admitted rs a.member of the order,' was one

Systematic UIsrepresentatIon

We exposed the game Of misrepresentation
and abuse pursued by the Locofoco pres:
against the Republican party, and in reply
the Times furnishes ample illustration Of thc
falsehood and fraud which we charged upon
the Locofoco Press in general. That paper
says that we complained Of ''the course Of the
Democratic press IN illustrating the doctrines
Of Black Republcanism from the speeches
and letters Of Gerrit Smith, Theodore Parker,
Senator Seward, Sumner & Co." That as
sertion is false in letter and in spirit, and
was intended to pervert entirely the point
made in our article.
We objected to the course of the Locofoco
papers in quoting and holding up Garrison,
Theodore Parker and Fred Douglas, notori-
Gus Abolitionists, as the opponents of Repub-
lcan sentiment. We did not mention Sew
ard, Sumner, nor anybody else save those
three notorious and unpopular abolitionsts,
who are not only not leaders, but, if we are
correctly posted, arc not even members of the
Republican party.
But it would not answer for the Times To
tell the simple truth and quote us correctly,
and therefore it falsely adds the names of
Sumner, Seward and others to our list. If
the cause which the Times advocates could
be sustained by truth, We nre charitable
ensuch to believe that the Editors would
abide by that. But their cause is bad, and
requires falsehood in its advocacy, and the
Times is emulous of distinction even in the
use of fraud and falsehood.
