Amercckn Meeting in Columbus.
According to previous appointment, the American
■party of Muscogee county convened at Temperance Hall
in this cilv, on Thursday August 23d, for thu purpose of
nominating a candidate for Senator and two Representa
tives to the next Legislature, trom this county.
The Convention being called to order > on motion of
Wiley Williams, John C Ruse, Esq-, (the Vice Presi
dent of the Grand Council of the State of Georgia.) took
the chair as President of the Convention, and the sever
al # Presidents of the Subordinate Councils of the county,
were nominated and appointed ns Vice Presidents. On
motion it was ordered that Calvin Stratton act as Secre
tary of the Convention.
The Convention being organized, Wiley Williams, Esq.,
one of the Vice Presidents, at the request of the Presi
dent, stated the abject of the meeting, aud urged
cstly upon the members of the American party, the sur
render of all preferences for personal friends and a uni
ted and earnest support of tho principles of the party
and its nominees.
Col. Edgar G. Dawson followed in a patriotic speech
withdrawing all claims to a a nomination, and urging uni-’
ty of action aud effort in the support ot those who might
be nominated.
On motion of Wiley Williams, one member from each
Council was appointed by the President to receive and
count out the votes for the nomination, to-wit: F. A.
Jepson, O. S. Kimbrough, Isaac Mitchell, Benj. Clark,
and Cob J. Wimberly.
On motion, the president announced that nominations
were in order, and the name of Col. A. McDougald be
ing announced, he arose and addressed the Convention,
and stated that his name had been brought before the
Convention’ by the partiality and urgent solicitation of
his friends; that while lie had no personal wishes or
feelings to gratily by a nomination or election, yet he held
it to be the duty of every tnan to make such sacriiices for
his country as his friends might require, lie earnestly
desired the success of the American party, and would
most cheerfully abide such action as might be made by
this Convention.
The name of Col. S. A. Wales being nominated, as
a candidate for the Senate, he responded by placing his
name at the service of his friends, and he would most
cheerfully abide the action of the Convention.
The name of John A. Jones, Esq., being placed in
nomination, he responded to the call of his friends, and
would most cheerfully abide the nomination.
The name ot 11. A. Thornton, Esq , being placed in
nomination, and being absent, the Honorable James
Johnson responded for him—that he would acqui
esce in the nomination which might be made by the Con.
venlion.
On motion of James Johnson, the convention proceed
ed to a ballot for the nomination, ar.d the convention re*
solved to meet at3 o’clock, I’. M., for tho purpose of re
ceiving the result.
At 3 o’clock, p. m., the convention again assembled,
Wiley Williams, Esq., addressed the Convention upon
tho propriety of abolishing the obligations, signs and
pass wards of the “American Order,” and urged the
necessity of the American party taking a stand upon its
principles as a permanent party. And on his motion a
committee of three, consisting of Wiley Williams, P. L.
J. May and A. M. Kimbrough, Esq., was appointed to
consult and report upon that subject to the convention.—
After a short absence, Wiley Williams, Esq., from the
committee, made the following report to-wit:
The original organization of the American party was
predicated upon the necessity of reforming the great evils
resulting from the immense immigration of foreigners of
doubtful and criminal character to our country, and the
influence which* foreign * and resident Roman Catholics,
as a religious denomination, attempt to exercise in our
political affairs.
These evils have existed for years, and their perpetra
tion have been construed, or grown into a right, which
induced not only hostile feelings, but personal conflicts
with those of our native citizens who might oppose or at*
tempt to remedy them. lienee, it was thought best to in
stitute secret societies who, by their organization, might
operate effectually, and avoid, if possible, personal conflict.
Our success has been complete in the combination of pa
triots throughout the country, and their strength and
power now defy all personal danger, and obviate the ne
cessity which formerly existed for these peculiar associa
tions of a local character.
We have seen, with much regret, that the use of obli
gations, signs and pass words, which distinguished these
societies, and which constitute the whole secrecy of the
organization, have been, and may again be used by our
opponents, to the injury of those groat principles we deem
of much more importance than the retention of these se
cret evidences of membership, and we cannot hesitate to
abolish them if they shall interpose between our princi
ples and the calm and deliberate judgment of our fellow*
citizens.
The American party of Muscogee county, in Conven
tion assembled, therefore, hereby declare, that we will not
use the “Ritual ot Order” as prescribed by the General
Council of the party—that we will cease to use the obliga
tions, signs and pass words, as,therein prescribed—that
believing in the correctness of our principles, and com
mending them to the sober judgment ol every patriot, we
shall rely confidently on them for success.
Therefore resolved, Ist. That, concurring in the course
pursued by our friends in Decatur county, wo recommend
the several subordinate Councils in Muscogee county be
requested to surrender their Charters, Books and Papers
to the State Council, and that we declare ourselves as mem
bers of the American Party, and invite all our fellow citi
zens to join with us in tho support ol tho principles oi said
Party.
2d. That we hereby renounce and repudiate all con
nection with those Councils, State and subordinate, or
members in the non-slaveholding States, who have rejected
toe Platform laid down by the American National Coun
cil upon the slavery issue, and hold that they no longer
constitute a part of the American Party ; and we hereby
renounce and sever all connection with all existing national
parties , because of their tendency to ireesoilism, and their
toleration of free soilers and abolitionists.
3d. That we unqualifiedly condemn the Administration
ol President Pierce for the appointment of foreigners to rep
resent our country abroad, tor appointing and retaining
lreesoilers in oliice ; and especially in this, that he appoint
ed Reader, an avowed freesoilor, Governor of Kansas,
and when driven by public opinion to dismiss him therefrom i
on account ot his interference with the slavery question,
and his unlawful speculations in Indian lands, he has suc
cessively appointed to that important office two others
who are eit zens of free States, having all the
prejudices ol the North against the South, in the great ques
tion now agitating the inhabitants of that Territory. Nor
can we conceive or admit that the error is at all retrieved,
or atoned for, by the appointment of a Southern man as
Governor of Nebraska, where the question ot Slavery will
not arise. With a seeming tairness to the North and
the South,both sections are represented in those territories;
but, like many other acts ot the President, the result, and
we fear the purpose, is ruinous to the interests of the South,
while the North is not in any way effected.
4th. That we ratify and approve of the Platform of prin
ciples of the American Party as heretofore published to the
country.
sth. That we re-affirm the Georgia Platform of 1850,
as indicating the light policy in the event of the -eontin
■'enoies therein mentioned ; and we hereby pledge ourselves
to stand by and carry out its principles.
6th. That we affirm the nomination of the Hon. Gar- j
nett Andrews, as the candidate of the American party for
Governor of the State of Georgia, at the ensuing election, j
7th. That we affirm the domination ot'Col W. A. Haw
kins, as the candidate of the American Party for Congress,
from’ the 2d Congressional District.
The report being received, P. L. J. May, Esq., moved
iis adoption, and addressed ihe convention in its support.
W hatever may have betn tile doubts of inembos of the
convention upou this imjrorUtnt movement, it is believed
that after the able and animated address of Mr. May,
there wore none who questioned its propriety or wished
to have auv cover of secret for their principles or con
duct as members of the American party. The resolu
rmis were uuanimouslv adopud, amid rapturous applause.

7As Mormons Outdone. —The polygamisls of Salt
Lake find themselves, says the Baltimore American
excelled in the peculiar spirituaUvife doctrines by a com’
mumty of Socialists, who have established themselves
at Ceresco in the country of Fon-du-lae, Wisconsin.
Ihe main article of their belief is, “the right of every
woman to choose whomsoever she will to perform the
part of a husband for the time and to change that per
son as often as she pleases.” Considering what “pro
gress has been made in introducing Turkish customs
by the residents of Salt Lake, suC-i a community as the
1 lee l/ove union” of Ceresco would seem to be a very
natural institution for the more perfect realization of the
system, freed from all inconveniences, the prejudices, the
laws, morals and instincts of society have hitherto inter
posed to its progress.
From the Rev. B.W. Harris, a Minister of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church.
Dr. Charles Williams— Sir: I accidentally got hold
ot your “Pulmonic Balsam of Whild Cherry,” and have
no hesitatancy in pronouncing it the best expectorant I
have ever used, and have tried nearly all the lar-famed ex
pectorants ot the day, as I have been laboring under pul
monic affection for nine years. I received abetter from
my brother-in-law, the Kev. James Wallis, a few daysao
and he and his wife were both using the “Pulmonic Bal
sam” and were perfectly delighted with it. His wife Hvo
weeks before, had lost all hope ot recovery, but was aston
ishingly improved.
Your obedient servant,
„ , , ■ . B.W. HARRIS.

Dr. M’Lnne’s Vermifuge.— —During a practiced’
more than twenty years, Dr, McLaHe had attended innumera
ble patients afflicted with every form of worm disease, and
was induced to appl; all the energies of his mind to the discov
ery of a vermifuge, or worm destroyer, certain in its effects;
the result of his labors is the American Worm Specific, now
beforethe public, which is perfectly safe, and may be given
alike to childen of the most tender age, or to the aged adult;
it purges mildly and subdues fever,and destroys worms with
invariable success. It is easy of administration, and as it
does not contain mercury in any form whatever, no restrictions
are necessary with regard to driuking cold water, nor is it ea
pable of doing the least injury to the tenderest infant. An In
credible nnmber of worms have been expelled by this great
Vermifuge.
Purchasers’ will please be careful to ask for DR. M’LANE’S
CELEBRATED VERIUIFUGE, andj takenone else. All other
Vermifuges, iu comparison, are worthless. Dr. M’Lanes gen
uine'Vermifuge, also Ihis Celebrated Liver Pills, can now
be had at all respectable Drug Stores in the United States and
Canada*
by all the Druggists iu Columbus, and by one
agent in every town. aug7—w&tw2w.
Hoofland’s German Bitters, prepared and sold
by Dr. Jackson, at the German Medical Store, 120 Arch street,
Philadelphia, increase in their well deserved celebrity, for the
cure of a'l diseases arising from derangement of the Liver.—
These Bitters have, indeed, proved a blessing to the afflicted,
who show their gratitude by the most flattering testimonials.
This medicine has established lor itself a name that competi
sjoi, however wily their schemes, or seductive their promises,
cannot reach. It gained the public confidence py the Immense
benefits that have been derived fromit, and will ever maintain
its position.
This invaluable medicine mav be purchased of allthe Drug

United States. julyl4—wtw2w
[Letter from Hon. John Minor Botts, of Virginia.]
Richmond, Va., July 9th, 1855.
Messrs. JVm , S. Beers & Cos., Gents: —Considerations of du
ty to the afflicted alone prompt me to send you this voluntary
testimonial to the great value of “ Carter's Spanish Mixture
for that almost incurable disease, Scrofula.
Without being disposed or deeming it necessary to go into
the particulars of the case, I can sav that the astonishing results
that have been produced by the use of that medicine ou a
member of my own family, and under my own observation and
superintendence, after the skill of the best physicians had
been exhausted and all the usual remedies had failed, fully
justify me in recommending its use to all who may be suffer
ing from that dreadful malady.
I do not mean to say that it is adapted to all constitutions, or
that it will afford the same relief in all cases; for, of course, I
know nothing about that—but from what I have seen of the ef
fects, I would not hesitate to use it, in any and every case of
Scrotula, with persons for whom I felt an interest, or over
whom 1 could exercise influence or control.
Very respecttully,
JOHN M. BOTTS.
