From the Herald, the American paper st Harrisburg.
American State Convention.

American State Convention.
A few straight out Americans who, for
reasons best known to themselves, disap-
prove Of the union moment which resul.
ted in the nomination Of DAVID WILMor
for Governor, have issued . call for an
American State Convention at Lancaster
on the 25th Of this month. There
has been no response to the call, except IN
oae or two counties, the mass Of the Amer.
leans deprecatiug the movement as one de-
signed to distract and divide the Opposl-
ton, and give aid and comfort to the Dem.
ocratic, anti.Americau, pro-slavery party
The Americans of the various counties
we're fully and fairly represented in the
State Conyeption,-their delegates went
there in good faith, prepared to abide the
result whatever it might be,-and casting
aside all personal preferences, the Ameri.
cans Of the State generally cordially en-
dorse the action of the Convention and
will give . hearty support to the nomi'
nees. The evidence Of this may be found
in the action of the State Council, and
most Of the subordinate Councils. Many
honest Americans we're misled last year
and made to play "second fiddle" to the
Democratic party and their Foreign Ro
mish allies. They will be careful not to
make similar fatal mistake this year
The tone and temper of the American
press throughout the State indicate that
the Union movement is complete and per
feet in all its parts, and that the Ameri
cans and Republicans occupying the same
platform, and rallying under the same
banner, will present a solid front to the
Romish and Slavery Battalions, and march
onward to certain victory. The righ
spirit is abroad, and all attempts to dis
tract and divide the Opposition will prove
abortive.
