West-Arri0at Of Delegates-Mr. Buchan-
ans popularity, de-, dc.
Dear Pennsyloanian;
BURNETT HOUSE, CINCINNATI,
May 2a, 1856.
In my last noted our arrival at Pittsburgh.
In justice to the gentemanly proprietors of the
st. Charles Hotel, / but speak the universal
sentiment of all our friends when / say that
Messrs. Brison Il Shirts deserve the large pa
tronage they receive. We left on the morning
of the 9th, taking the cars,of the Pennsylvania
and Ohio Railroad for Crestline, passing through
the centre of the great agricultural region Of
Ohio-the richest of which now exhibits itself
in the full bloom of exuberant verdure. This
railroad, now under the direction and manage
ment of @. w. Cass, Esq, the newly elected
President is managed with great exactness and
skill. 1t is the first link of that great chain of
railroads uniting Pennsylvania with the lakes
and the far West. This road, as well as our
city, for her interests, may congratulate them
selves upon having secured the services of so
able man as Mr.. Cass. From Crestline, there
are three diyerging railroads which enter Gin
cinnati by different routes, and which are said
to be under most excellent management. We
took that route which passes through Spring
field and Dayton-both of which places exhibit
in remarkable degree the rapid growth and
wealth of the young Empire of the West. One
thing | have omitted to say: On the entire
route from Pittsburgh to this city we have never
had the good fortune to meet more gentlemanly
and attentive conductors than those on the
railroads over which we have travelled. We
arrived in Cincinnati in fifteen hours from
Pittsburgh, and now have good quarters under
care of those princely hosts, the Messrs. Cole
man, Of the Burnet House. There are few
houses in the country, If any, that excel this in
the amplitude of its accommodations or the
richness of its furniture.
The Queen City of the West this is my Grst
visit) reminds me of Philadelphia. Streets at
right angles and clean, while the houses all
look as if under the charge of Philadephia
wives. Her population is thrifty and industr-
Gus, their industry and pursuits partaking much
Of the character of that Of Philadelphia; and
we have but to look at the signs in the doors of
the various business houses to learn that a
goodly portion of her inhabitants came from,
or are descendants of, Philadelphia.
| Our delegates are all at the Burnet House
| indeed it seems to be kind of headquarters
of the friends of Mr.. Buchanan. But his friends
are so numerous, from every section of the
country, that all the houses wear this aspect.
There are delegates here from every part Of the
country, and none doubt but that Mr. Buchanan
will be nominated, and that without trouble.
| The best and most harmonious feeling prevails,
and the votes that will be cast for the other
candidates at the first, will be given as compli-
mentary only, when all will wheel into line and
respond to the wishes of our good old Common
| wealth. w. r.

Latest News from Fort Laramie.

LateBt news 1rOm fort Laramie.
There seems to be slight prospect Of the
renewal of Indian hostilities in the vicinity Of
Fort Laramie. The latest information from
that point gives intelligence of recent depreda-
tions on the part of the Cheyennes. In regard
to this matter we have been kindly permitted
to make extracts from two letters received by a
gentleman of this city. The first is as follows:
PLATTE BRIDGE, April 2s,h, 1856.
81 took possession of the Bridge on the 5th
inst. Captain Henry Heath with his company
is camped near by. He had difficulty on the
18th with the Cheyennes, owing to the non
delivery of horse belonging to white man,
and on that account the Indians killed one OF
my men on his way from the mountains. /
hope matters may be settled without difficulty.
/ believe the Platte will be high this year, as
there is plenty of snow in the mountains"
The other letter is several days later, and
from it we make the subjoined extract:
FoRT LARAMIE, May 2, 1856.
Captain Heath is at the Platte bridge with
one company. The Cheyennes killed white
man at that place few days since-an old
trapper named Gunier, who has been in the
mountains thirty years and upwards. The
difficulty commenced about some horses that
belonged to one Of the ferrymen at that place.
The Indians found the horses which bad been
lost only few days, and refused TO give them
up. The owner made complaint to Captain
Heath, and he sent for the Indian, and told
him that the owner would pay him for his
trouble, and that he would have to give them
up. He took the pay, and at night when
driving up his herd, the owner went to the
Indian after his horses, but the Indian was un.
willing to return them all, and insisted on
keeping one of the best. Captain Heath then
sent up command under Lieutenant Dudley.
with instructions to bring the horses and the
Indian to his camp. Upon Lieutenant Dud-
ley's going into the lodge, the Indian drew his
arroYs, but he was seized Immediately, and
taken to the camp. As there was no safe place
to keep him, he was ordered to be ironed.
While the blacksmith was making the irons.
the Indian made his escape A whole volley
was fired at him, and report says he was badly
wounded, but got off as it was night. The
Indians all fled that night, leaving their lodges
and some of their camp equipages behind.
The next day they killed "Gunier" within a
short distance Of the bridge. am quite un-
easy about Guerrer who is in the Cheyenne
village somewhere in the neighborhood Of the
Arkansas river. think the prospect of war
with them quite fattering. All is in great
excitement here about It, waiting an express
from the general. | hope be will give the
raseals a drubbing for they richly deserve it."

Americanism in Philadelphia.

While Southern men employed in the traitor
Gus task of endeayoring to make the Americans Of
the Southern States repudiate the 18th section of
of the Philadelphia Platform, the American party
OF Philadelphia is busily engaged in pruning away
all the of shoots OF Aboitonism that come in their

Personnel OF speaker Banks.

Mr.. Banks personal appearance somewhat
resembles that of Senator Seward, though a
more youthful and handsome looking man than
that distinguished statesman. lie is of medi-
um height, and slimly built, with pale face
keen eye, and an intellectual forehead, frisky
hair of iron grey mixture; standing erect as an
Indian, walking with the measured aud court
~ air of prince, and having withal stilted
stiffness about him, which some have described
as Clerical" and others as "Puriianic," but
which, be it what it may, unmistakaby indi-
Gates, 20 my mind, that with HIM the intellec
tual faculties predominant, aud that in social
life he is cold as an icicle.
Judging him by his appearance, he would
very naturally be taken as sprig Of the aris-
tocracy of the sJ-called Athens Of America,
instead Of man OF the people, and recent
workman in the machine shop. ale has the
air" says one writer. aud he says so with some
truth, ''of New England clergyman pacing
the deck OF a steamer which he expects every
minute TO be blown up" His appearance, in
a word, marks him as a man Of note. Though
stiff aud cold, he Is yet not forbiddng in hs
ufauners, and his personal dcmeanor resembles
much the lofty coBdescending dignity, yet ever
courteous and urbane manner, of the polished
and elegant Winthrop. lie Is native of Mas
saohusetls, aud represents the seventh Con-
gressiona District of that State, being born az
walthaln, in the county Of Middesex, in jan
nary, 1916, aud is therefore now forty years OF
age. His habits are excellent, aud his private
character pure aud unspotted.

Why National Americans voted for MIR.


Why National Americans voted for Mr.
Aiken.
The Baltimore American Democrat of the
18th inst, says, on the morning that the vote
under the plurality rule was to be taken, when
Mr.. Aiken began TO be spoken of, the Hon.
Alexander Keith Marshall, of KY, staunch
American and conservative, being reluctant to
vote for Mr.. Aiken without understanding his
ground fully, wrote down, and carried to him
in his seat, series of inerrOgatoFeS which,
with their answers, we here subjoin
1st. Are you hostile to the American party,
and have you ever pronounced, or do You now
believe, that party enemies to civil and reli-
gious liberty
Answer to 1st-To the first answer ] never
have.
3D. Are you in favor of the union of the
States so long as it can be continued without
such violation of the spirit of the Constitution
as would justify revolution
Answer I'D am in favor of the continu-
ance of this Union as long as the rights Of all
the States are preserved.
Sd. Do you belong TO the Democratic or
ganization, and do you fully endorse the course
and policy of the present administration, 50
far as to favor the election of the present in
cumbent to Office againG
Answer 3D. do not, strictly speaking, be-
long to the Democratic party organization. |
approve what | believe right, and will oppose
what | think wrong in that as in all other
parties.
4th. Would you object to such a modifica-
ton of the naturalization laws as would re-
qure citizens of other countries to remain here
before they become citizens of this country for
decidedly longer term than at PRESENT.
Answer 4th-I would not object, but would
favor a material extension of the naturalization
laws.
These answers the Democrat adds were
known to every member of the American
Party in the House. In regard to the position
of Mr. A, in respect TO parties, the same paper
says, the only contest in which Mr.. A. was
ever engaged was as a member of the Union
party against the secessionists, in the days of
South Carolina notification. In South Caro-
lima there have always been two parties, the
Unionsts and the Secessionists. In South
Carolina it costs something to be Union man.
In South Carolina, and every where else, Mr..
Aiken always has been and still is a Union
man. Ia other respects, of vital importance
to the American party, he has beer so liberal
that the Americans of his district actually
talked at one time of running him on their
own ticket for Congress.
Mr.. Aiken will do.
