Millard Fillmore.

By reference to the resolutions Of the Amer
lean Convention held at Princetun on the 22d
inst, it will be seen that the Convention rec
commended Willard Fillmore, as the American
candidate for the Presidency in 1856. That
resolution passed unanimously and with en-
thusasm. Not man in the Convention but
who seemed for Fillmore above all other men.
We have already spoken out our preference
for Mr.. Fillmore, and said we believed him to
be the choice of the people of the country. No
man stands higher in the confidence and good
opinions ofhis countrymen than Willard Fill
moreno man we are sure, whose name has
been presented before the people for this high
office, is nearer and dearer to their hearts, and
would more cheerfully receive their votes for
the Presidency. We hope to see an opportu-
nifty offered for giving him these votes.

CITY OF EVANSVILLE.
THURSDAY MORNING, :::::::::::::::::JAN. "a
American District Convention.

The Americans Of the First District, held
Convention according to previous notice, at
Princeton last Tuesday, the ODD inst. About
thirty Delegates went from Evansville. Va
rious part of the District were represented,
and the attendance was as large as could have
been anticipated at meeting called during
the most inclement part Of bitter cold WIN
ter. The Americans in attendance were en-
thusiastic, and disposed to act with harmony
and zeal for their cause. They were like a
band of brothers. Certainly no one could ac-
cuse them of being office-seekers or led by
office-seekrs. Pure patriotism alone was the
active motive with them.
In the morning the Convention was organi-
zed. and its labors were continued during the
afternoon. The principal duty of the Con-
vention was to elect Delegate to represent
this District in the American National Con-
vention to be held at Philadelphia on the 22d
of February. Hon. Samuel Hall, President OF
the Convention, thus stated the object OF the
meeting, and in the afternoon the Delegates pro-
ceeded to balloting, and elected Mr.. a. Nj.
Phelps, of Warrick county, Delegate, with Mr..
Jas. A. Mason, of Vincennes, alternate Dele
gate. During the afternoon there was consid-
cradle discussion on various topics, but no bad
feeling. After the adoption of appropriate res
buttons, and appointment of Central Commit
tee, the Convention adjourned.
The Delegates from this city, had made
arrangements for passenger car to be attached
to the freight train to carry them to Prince
ton. But through some mistake, explained
however, to our entire satisfaction by the
superintendent the passenger car was not at
tached, and the Delegates were crowded into a
baggage, car although there were about ten
more than the number required to secure the
promised accommodation. Our Delegates
however, did not permit this matter to maj
the pleasure of the occasion.
A more respectable looking body OF mer
than those who formed this Convention, anC
men more earnest in the cause which had
brought them together, we never saw assem-
bled

localities, in others the Wings have pursued
the same course.
Instead of endeavoring to Americanize for
eigners, the leaders of political parties have
struggled to keep up ranking distinction be-
tween native and foreign-born citizens. 1t is
this disposition on the part OF demagogues to
truckle to foreigners that has created the ne
cessty-ace sag created the necessity-for the
Know Nothing organization. And from all
that we can gather the parties who have Gre
ated that necessity have good cause to fear the
power which they will exercise.
We believe, from what we have seen from
its outworkings, that foreigners have nothing
to fear from the Know Nothlngs, either in
their persons or in their religion. 1t is lamen-
tably true that our Irish fellow citisens in some
of our larger cities have come in collision with
Americans, and blood has been split, but when
it is remembered that an Irish Catholic is a
credulOus being, and that designing men have
whispered in his ears all manner of unreason-
able and improbable stories thus poisoning his
mind against the very people with whom he
should affiliate, the difficulty disappears. They
will learn sooner or later the real truth, and
they will hurl back upon their deceivers the
full measure of their vengeance.
The secret of opposition to the Know Moth
inges really comes from those demagogues who
see in the unity and strength of the party an
unerr.ng indication Of their own downfall.
Speed the day when all who claim the right
of citizenship shall be Americans at heart,
whether native born or not, when the bondage
of political parties shall be torn asunder never
again to be reunited Upon American soil.

est appreciation the education OF the youth of
our country in schools provided by the State,
believing such institutions to be the most
valuable auxiliaries to enlighten the people of
free government.
We look to these as the truest and best nur-
series of republican sentiment and brother
hood, and regarding them as particularly
adapted to the formation of vigorous nation
al character, we hold that they should be COM
mon to all citizens, without distinction ofcreed,
and to that end should be free from all influ-
ence or direction of religious zeal. And as
we believe the Holy Bible to be the fountain
and depository Of the universal religious doc
trine of our country, and the teacher OF the
profoundest wisdom to all men, we express our
firm dissent and reproof against any and eve
ry attempt to exclude it from the course of
school instruction.
ResolUed, That the American party hold
ing the Union of the States to be the great
distinctive and vital idea of permanent and
comprehensive American Republicanism will
devote its united power to the duty of sustain
ing and strengthening that Union against the
attacks, either open or secret, of whatever enc
my may assail it. To that end it will insist
upon strict construction of the Constitution
of the United States, in accordance with the
as expounded by its authors, and as sanction
ed by the most approved opinion of the coun-
try.
! 5 Resolved That, as all laws, whether state
or national should guard and protect the mali
enable rights of man, no enactment should be
made subversive of these rights by granting
special privileges.
| ResOlUed, That believing Willard Fillmore
has proven himself prominently entitled to
the confidence of the American people as a
Statesman and as Patriot, and that the Exec
utive Department of this Government with
the trusts of the people and the prosperity Of
the country, could be placed in no safer hands,
we earnestly recommend his name to the con-
sideration Of the American National Conven-
ton, for the nomination as the American can
didate for the Presidency in 1856.
On motion, each resolution was read again
and voted upon separately. All were adopt
ed by almost an unanimous vote
On motion, resolved, That the President Of
the Convention appoint Central Committee
for this District
The President reported the following as the
Central Committee, and the report was unani
mously adopted:
ADD. II. SANDERS, of Evansville.
JAS. A. MASON, of Knox
SILAs STEPHENS, of Evansville
f. d. ALLEN, of Evansville.
VIM. MILLER, of Knox
Hon. E. Embree, of Gibson, offered the fol
lowing resolution, which after some discussion
was unanimously adopted:
|
ResolUed, That in the sense of this meeting
the Constitution of this State regulating tn,
right of suffrage, ought to be so amended tina
persons not citizens of the United States
should not be allowed to vote.
f No further business appearing, on motion
the Convention adjourned.

DR.. David Dale Owen.

DIR. David Dale Owen was in the city yestcr-
day on his way to Frankfort, Ky. The DR..
had with him the report of his labors as Geol-
ogist for that State. The diagrams, showing
the different strata of coal in our great valley
were gotten up ina style so plain and thorough
that the Legislators of Kentucky can easily see
the riches hidden in their State, and truly this
great work should be pushed on to completion
and we trust that the assembled wisdom of
kentucky will understand their interests well
enough to make at this session large appro-
priation in aid Of the Geological survey Of
their State Kentucky was fortunate in secu-
ring the services of DR.. Owen; and she ought
to retain him by all means. Nothing is better
calculated to develop the resources Of any
State than such surveys. They not only point
out the riches, but induce population. and
build up manufactures the second great in
terest in any country.

AZ A meeting Of steamboat masters and
owners was held in st. Louis on Thursday, in
the office of the Board of Underwriters, for
the purpose of devising ways and means
whereby their property might be rendered
more secure in case the ice in the river opposite
the city should suddenly break up and there
by cause q serious loss of steamboats, lying at
the wharf Capt. J. N. Eaton, Agent of the
Board of Underwriters, was elected Chairman.
A large number of gentleman interested in
steamboats, were present. A committee was
appointed consisting of five, whose duty it
shall be to recommend to the next meeting the
best plan to secure the boats at the wharf from
injury in case Of movement of the ice
Capt. Green offered for adoption, memorial to
the City Council, praying that fire plugs be
established at points along the Levee, and hose
provided of sufficient lenght to reach from
them to steamers at the landing, so as to en-
sure ready supply of water, at the instant of
fire breaking out on any of the boats. Adopt

OElF The New Albany Tribune says that
city is yet without public Reading Room and
Library, ands hold up the example of Evans
vile and some other places, as worthy of New
Albany imitation. Our Reading Room is
certainly great public accommodation-not
only to citizens but to strangers. Within the
last week we have met three citizens of New
Albany enjoying the advantages and pleasures
of this Reading Room. Apparently appre-
ciating its value, we hope when they return
home, they will be ready to assist in starting
similar institution at New Albany.
