Resolved, That this State Council deem
Il inexpedient 10 make distinctive nonlina-
tion, and ihat u win not issue a call for .
separate American Convention.
/ Resolved, That inasnuch rs the Union
State Conveution was composed 10 great
extent, Or members Of the american party,
and inasmuch as the essential principles Of
our organization are contained in the plat
form OF said Convention, and inasmueh rs
the homiaees of said Convention approvs OF
our principles, therefore We recommend
them to the support Of rhe meubers of the
American party Mt the ensuing October cleo
ton.
Such was the action of the State Council
in April last. Il deliberately endorsed
both the candidates and platform Of the
Union Convention, and resolved to make
no other nominations; and this action il has
ever since adhered to. These are the plain
facts, and SO far then from Mr.. HaEelhurst
being The regular American candidate,
he and bis friends have repudiated the de-
liberate action of the State Council, and he
is running in defiance Of Its action and its
DEGREES, and in our Judgment making q
most unjusti6able aud factious opposition TO
its judicious recommendations.
How was Mr.. HarelLurst nominated
This question can be easily answered, as
follows: Some half-dozen members of the
State Council disseuted from the action OF
the Council in adopting :he above preamble
and resolutions; and instead Of acquiescing
in the win Of the majority, factiously with
drew from the Council, and headed By Dir.
II. B. Swoope, issued call for another
Convention at Lancaster. Aided BY the
Daily News, of Philadelphia, of side door
notoriety, aud we believe BY about two 9th
er papers in the State pretending to be
American, the Convention ASSEMBLED at
Lancaster in May. and nominated Messrs.
Hazlehurst, Linderman, Broome and Brady.
After great efforts to get full aiten-
dance and to make the opposition to the
State Council look as formidable as pos
sible. this Convention was miserable
failure, there being only eight counties in
the State represented out of the whole sir-
iy-four. This was the Convention which
thus nominated, Mr.. Hazelhurst, in defiance
of both the action, aud recommendation of
the State Council; and however much we
may differ with any Of our American
friends, we don't wish any Of them to labor
unde, the de!usion that Mr.. Haxelhurst is
the nominee Of the American party, or thai
he has any claims ON anybody as such. On
the contrary, We consider ourself as good
an American as Mr. Hasrlhurst or any of
his friends, and because of this feel it to be
our duty 10 act in accordance with the plaia
directions Of the State Council, which we
have heretofore considered as recognized
authority In the party.
We have thus stared few facts Of recent
occurrence, which no we'll informed man can
deny, snd endeavored calmly to reason the
matter with our friends. We ask In all
kindness careful consideration of these
things. Read the above Preamble aud
Resolutions, and see whether we cannot, as
heretofore, act harmoniously together, and
In accordance with what we consider the
wise suggestions Of our State Council.

TIE LAST RAT TALE.--A gentleman
on the Bay informed US yesterday, tina,
in order to destroy the number of rats on
his premises, he was in the habit ofplac.
ing a tempting bait in the yard, and on
seeing a good crowd Of the "varmints"
around it, he would shoot them down from
a convenient syot. As the rats began TO
get shy Of common bats, he procured a
flask Of sweet almond oil, buried it in a
hole in the yard, with only the mouth un.
corked above the level. The rats could
no. resist the tempting flavor Of the oil +,
so they came with rush and not few
Jared badly.
Yesterday morning the gentleman saw
two patriarchal,looking rats cogita,ing
over the oil flask how to &c. taste OF the
luscious article within.
After examining all around, one Of them
frightened up with an idea. He inserted
his long tail into the oil flask, and when
it was we'll moisteneI with the sweet oil
drew it out and permitted his friend to
lick it.
On the principle that one good turn de.
serves another, rat number two inserted

and allowed rat number one to enjoy the
feast. This in.tsiling process was kept
up amicably for some time, till rat mum.
