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. ‘ On motion of the Ilou.

JOHN C. RUSE, President. Calvin Stratton, Secretary. 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. Courtland, Ala., Feb. 21, 1849.

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 gists in Columbus aud of Dealers generally throughout the 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.
