I w—ta- Political. NATIONAL PLATFORM AM ERIC AN* PARTY, As adopted by the late Philadelphia Con- vention. At s regular meeting of the National Council of tha American party, begun ami held at Philadelphia, on the 5th June, A. D. 1855, the following was adopted as the Platform and Principles of the Organization: I. The acknowledgment of that Altni- ghty Being who rules over the Universe who presides over the Councils of Nations—who conducts the affairs of men, and who, in every step by which »v have advanced to the character of an independent nation, has distinguished us by some tok*m of Providential agency. 21.—The cultivation and development of a ventim^nt of profoundly intense American feeling; of passionate attach ment to our country, its history, and its institutions; or admiration for the purer days of our National existence ; of ven eration for the heroism that precipitated our Revolution ; and of emulation of the virtue, wisdom and patriotism that framed our Constitution and first suc cessfully applied its provisions. III. —The maintenance of the Union of these United States as the paramount political good; or, to use the language of Washington, “ the primary object ot • patriotic desire.” And hence:— 1st. Opposition to all attempts to wea ken or subvert it. 3d. Uncompromising antagonism to every principle of policy that endangers it. 3d. The advocacy of an equitable adjustment jf all political differences which threaten its integrity or perpe tuity. 4th. The suppression of all tendencies to political division, founded on “ geo graphical discrimination, or on- the belief that there is a real difference of interests and views” between the vari ous sections of the Union. 5th. The full recognition-of the rights of the several States, as expressed and reserved in the Constitution; and a careful avoidance, by the General Government, of all interference with their rights by legislative or executive action. IV. —Obedience to the constitution of the United States, as the supreme law of the land, sacredly obligatory upon all its parts and members; and .steadfast resistance to the spirit of inno vation upon its principles however spe- -cious tbepretexts. Avowing that in all doubtful or dispute t points it may only hi legally ascertained.and expounded by xhc Judicial power of the United States. And, as a corollary to the above Y. A habit of reverential obedience to the laws, whether National, States, or Municipal, -until they are either repeal ed or declared unconstitutional by the .Tpr.ippr authority. 3. A tender and sacred regard for those acts of statesmanship, wh'.ch- are 'to be contra-distinguished from acts ol •ordinary legislation, by the fact of their being of the nature of compacts and • agreements; and so, to be considered a li ve! and settled national policy. V. —A radical revision and mod idea ' tied of the Ihws regulating immigration •aa» > , ibe settlement of immigrants. Of fering to the honest immigrant who, from love of liberty or hatred of oppressin seeks an asylum in the United State friendly reception and protection. But unqualifiedly condemning the trunsmis sion to our shores, of felons and pau pers. VI. —The essential modification of the naturalization laws. The repeal by the Legislatures of the respective States, of ull State laws al lowing foreigners not naturalized to vote. The repeal, without retroactive opera tion, ol ail acts of Congress making grants of land to unturalized foreig ners, and allowing them to vote in the Territories. VII. —Hostility lo the corrupt means by which the leaders of party have hitln-rto forced upon us our rulers and our political creeds. Implacable enmity against the pre valent demoralizing system of rewards for political subserviency,and of punish ment for political independence. Disgust for the wild hunt after office which-characterizes the age. These on the one hand. On the oilier: Imitation of the praclico of the purer days of the Republic; and admiration of the maxim that “ office should seek fhc man, and not man the office,” and of the rule that, the just mode of ascertain ing fitness for office is the capability, the faithfiilnes- 1 , and the honesty of the in cumbent or candidate. VIII. —Resistance to the aggressive p dicy and corrupting tendencies of ihe Raman Catholic Church in our country, liy the advancement to all political sta tions—exccuti.e, legislative, judicial or Ui, lomatic—of those only who do not hold civil allegiance, directly or indirect ly, to any foreign power, whether civil or ecclesia.-tioal, and who are Americans by birth, education and tra ning:—thus fulfilling the maxim, “ Americans ONLY SHALL GOVERN AMERICA.” The protection of all citizens in tiie legal and proper exercise of their civil and religious rights and privileges; the maintenance of the right of every man :o the full, unrestrained and peaceful enjoyment ofhis own religious opinions and worship, and a jealous resistance of nil attempts by any sect, denomination or church to obtain an ascendancy over any other in the State, by means of any special privileges or exemption, by any poiit'cal combination of its members, or by a division of their civil allegiance with any foreign power, potentate, or ecclesi astic. —The reformation of tiio charac- iional Legislature, by elc : dignified and responsible position men of higher qualifications, purer morals,and more unselfish patriot ism. X.—The restriction of executive pat ronage—especially in the matter of ap pointments to office—so far as it may be permitted by the Constitution, and con sistent with the public good. XI —The education of the youth of our country i.i schools provided by the State; which schools shall be common to all, without distinction of creed or party, and free from any influence or direction of a denominational or partizan character. And, inasmuch as Christianity by the Constiutions of nearly all the States: by the decisions of the most eminent judici al authorities; and by the consent of the people of America, is considered an ele ment of our political system ; and as the Holy Bible is at once the source of Chris tianity, and the depository and fountain of all civil and religious freedom, we op pose every attempt to exclude it from the schools thus established in the States. XII.—The American party having arisen upon the ruins and in spite of the opposition of the whig and Democratic parties, cannot be held in any manner responsible for the obnoxious acts or violated pledges of either. And the sys tematic agitation of the Slavery ques tion by those parties having elevated sectional hostility into a positive element of political power, and brought our insti tutions into peril, it has therefore become the imperative duty of the American party to interpose, for the purpose of giving peace to the country and perpe tuity to the Union. And as experience has shown it impossible to reconcile opin ions so extreme as those which separate the disputants, and as there can be no dishonor in submitting to the laws, the National Council has deemed it the best guarantee of common justice and of future peace, to abide by and maintain the existing laws upon the subject of Slavery, as a final and conclusive set tlement of that subject in spirit and in substance. And regarding it the highest duty to avow their opinions upon asubject so im portant, in distinct and unequivocal terms, it is hereby declared as the sense of this National Council, that Congress possesses no power, under the Constitu tion, to legislate upon the subject of sliivery in 1 the States where it does or may exist, or to exclude any State from admission into the Union, because i<s Constitution does or does not recognize the instifutfoir of slavery as a part of its social system} and expressly pretermit ting any expression of opinion' upon the power of Cungre-s to establish or prohibit slavery in any Territory, it is the sense of the National Council ;bat Congress ought not to legislate upon the subject of slavery within the Territories of the United States and that any interference by Congress with slavery as it exists in the District of Columbia, would be a violation of the spirit and intention of the compact by which the State of Marylan ceded the District to the United States and a breach of the National.faith. XIII. —The policy of the Govern ment of the United States, in its relations with foreign governments, is to exact justice from the strongest, and dojustice to the weakest; restraining, by all the power of the governmental! its citizens from interference with the internal con cerns of nations with whom we are at peace. XIV. —This National Council declares that all the principles of the Order shall he henceforward everywhere openly avowed ; and that each member shall be at liberty to make known the existence of the Order, and the fact that he him self is a member; and it recommends that there be no concealment of the place of meeting of subordinate councils. E. B, Bartlett, of Kentucky, President of National Council. C. D. Deshler, of New Jersey, Corresponding Secretary. James M. Stephens, of Maryland, Recording Secretary. hostility to the constitutional rights of| the South; and all persons who partake in such opposition as unfit to be recog nized as members of the American Party. Resolved 7th,—That we concur iri the opinion expressed in the meeting of our fellow citizens of Columbus, held on the 36th day May,1855, that the time has arrived when our fellow _ citizens should cease from their dissensions, and forget the differences which have sepa rated them ; and that a common danger and common enemy should unite us for our common defense and safety, and that we will cheerfully co-operate with ell who may unite with us in the endeavor to accomplish so noble and patriotic an object. Resolved 8th,—That the Western and Atlantic Rail Road was projected and built for the general good of the whole people of Georgia; and utterly condemn any policy which has sought, or which may seek to make it subservient to the interest or purpose of any politi cal party whatever. Resolved 9th,—That we are in favor of the acquisition of Cuba,-whenever it can be accomplished upon fair and honorable grounds, or whenever any European Power shall seek to make it a point from which to assail the rights and institutions of any portion of this coun try ; and that we strongly condetnu the vaseillating policy of the Administration, as calculated, if not designed, to defeat the acquisition of that Island.

Resolved 3nd,- That the American Party unqualifiedly condemns, and will ever endeavor to counteract all efforts, by any sect or party, to bring about a union of Church and State, and utterly disclaims any intention to prescribe a religious test as a qualification for office. Resolved 3rd.—That as the naturali zation laws have been so long preverted to the basest purposes, by corrupt politi cal demagogues as to cause the foreign element to grow up to be a dangerous powet in our midst, deciding our politi cal contests as it pleases, there exists an imperative necessity for their radical modification, and stricter enforcement Resolved 4th,—That we re-affirm the Georgia platform of 1850, as indicating the right policy, in the event of the contingencies therein mentioned ; and we hereby pledge ourselves to stand by and carry out its principles.

PERRY DAVIS’ VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER STILL TRIUMPHANT, A ND after a thorough trial by innumerable living witnesses, has proved itself to be THE MEDIOIN E OF THE AGE Although there have been many medicinal preparations brought before the public since the first introduction • f Perry Davis’ Vegeta ble Pain Killer, and large amounts expended in their introduction, the Pain Killer has continued to steadily advance in the estima tion of the world as the best Family Medi cine ever introduced. As an internal and external remedy it is truly a source of JOY TO THE WORLD. One positive proof of its efficacy is, that the sales have constantly increased, and wholly upon its own merits, as the proprie tors have not resorted to advertising to gain fbr it the rank it now holds among the great number of preparations of the present time. The effect of the Pain Killer upon the pa tient, when taken internally in cases of Colds, Cough, Bowel Complaints, Cholera. Dyssentery and other affections of the sys tem, has been truly wonderful, and has now for it a name among medicinal preparations that can never be torgoiten. Its success in removing pain, as au external remedy, in cases of burns, bruises, sores, sprains, cuts, sting of insects and other causes of suffering, has secured for it such a host of testimony, as an almost infallible remedy, that it will be Lauded down-to posterity as one of the greatest medical discoveries of the nine teenth century. TllC magical effects of the Pain Killer wbeu takenor used .according to directions,are certain. You have only to o£ sure that you bny the genuine article and adhere to the directions in its use, and you will admit its wonderful medicinal proper ties. The genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is now put up in panel bottles, with the words Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer blown in the glass; and with two steel engraved labels on each bottle—one an excellent likeness of Perry Davis, tbe Original inventor of tbe medicine, the o’her a steel engraved note of hand—noue others can be relied upon as ge nuine. Price of bottles 12 1-2 cents, 25 cento, 50 cents and 81, respectively. PERRY DAVIS & SON, Proprietors, No. 74 High st.. Providence, R i. Tbe Pain Killer is s <ld by C. W.dtH. R. J.
