CITY OF EVANSVILLE. THURSDAY MORNING, ::::::::::: JAN. 21 American- District Coaveatioa. The Americans of tho First District, held a Convention according to previous notice, at Princeton last Tuesday, the 22d inst. About thirty Delegates went from Evansville. Various part of the District were represented, and the attendance was as large as could have been anticipated at a meeting called during tho most inclement part of a bitter cold winter. . Tho Americans in attendance were en- j thusiastic, and disposed to act with harmony and zeal for their cause. They were like a band of brothers. Certainly no one could accuse them of being office-seekers or led by oHicc-seekrs. Pure patriotism alone was the active motive with them. In the morning the Convention was organized, and its labors were continued during the afternoon. The principal duty of the Convention was to elect a Delegate to represent this District in the American National Convention, to be held at Philadelphia on the 22d of February. Hon. Samuel Hall, President of tho Convention, thus stated the object of the meeting, and in the afternoon the Delegates proceeded to balloting, and elected Mr. A. H. Phelps, of Warrick county, Delegate, with Mr. Jai A. Mason, of Vincennes, alternate Delegate. During the afternoon there was considerable discussion on various topics, but no bad feeling. After the adoption of appropriate resolutions, and appointment of Central Committee, the Convention adjourned. The Delegates from this city, had made arrangements for a passenger car to be attached to the freight train, to carry them to Princeton. But through some mistake, explained however, to our entire satisfaction by the Superintendent, the passenger car was not attached, and the Delegates were crowded into a baggage, car although there were about ten more than the number required to secure the promised accommodation. Our Delegates, however, did not permit this matter to mar the pleasure of the occasion A more respectable looking body of men than those who formed this Convention, and men more earnest in the cause which had brought them together, we never saw assem bled. The New Altany ledger, &c. The New Albany Ledger cannot refain from personalities in alluding to us, and as its natural instincts seem to make this "a labor of love," we shall not object. Personalities and personal abuse from even a more respectable source than tho New Albany Ledger, are much more apt to injure their source than the object at which they are leveled-and in this par ticular instance they are too harmless to injure either the Ledger or the editor of the Journal But the Ledger says: We might charge, that the Journal advo cates the various ultra isms of the dav, because his mental vision is narrow; but we prefer to lay it to the most likely cause, namely a de sire to propitiate the good opinion of the Church and to infuse a sectarian bias into the politics of the country; by such means expecting to break down the Democratic party. The Ledger, we are constrained to believe might charge almost anything on private or political character, but fortunately its charges do not pass current as facts. It mUjht charge that we advocate mormonism. spiritualism, Sec. and we are rather astonished it don't just as well as it can charge we advocate different other "ultra isms." If Americanism is an ultra ism, we presume the Ledger is right in charg ing we advocate it, although we do not believe that shows a very narrow mental vision. We know that when the editor of the Ledger, Mathews, was a few months ago advocating the same ism, he thought it rather an evidence of a very broad mental vision. But we should like to know what ism we are advocating "to propitiate the good opinion of the Church," and which Church it is we wish to propitiate. If to advocate Temperance is 'to propitiate the good opinion of the Church," we think it might be desirable in every citizen to propitiate that good opinion. Tho editor of the Ledger is very desirous of propitiating the good opinion of the Catholic Church, yet he pays that Church but a poor compliment when he advocates Intemperance to secure its good opinion. We do not think the Democratic party can be broken down by any infusion of "sectarian bias into the politics of the country." It has tho Catholic vote safe on its side, which appears to be the only religious "bias" that can be predicated upon as a societj We hope Mr. Mathews will forgive us for making a few extracts from his own writings of a little over a year ago, when he edited the New Albany Harald just by way of illustrating his inconsistency, more t'uaa for any other purpose. He then said: We have looked unon this American move ment in rather a different light than most of our cotemporaries. In it we have never been able to discover that violation of the principles of the freedom of conscience, that is the boast of our institutions. The war they make is not upon the religion of the Roman Catholics, but upon political Bomanism; that disposition of , , i i : . : . .. . .... : . . 1 : . ; tne ciergy oi mat uenoujiuunuu tu jumbal power through their membership, controlling them at the ballot box, and the manner in which that power has been truckled to by political demaro;rues in this country. Not tnly has this disposition, to secure the votes of foreign Catholics been made, but foreigners of .all classes have been appealed to by candidates .and leaders of political parties. The Democratic partv are guilty of this conduct in some

I localities, in others the Whigs haTe pursued

the same course. I Instead of endeavoring to Americanize for'eigners, the leaders of political parties have, I struggled to keep up a rankling distinction be-1 ! tween native and foreisn-born citizens. It is ' . . . iii disnnsition on the Dart ot demaüOKues to i truckle to foreigners that has created the ne-

Know Xothin organization. And from all trict, assembled at Princeton, Gibson county, al character, we hold that they should be com- Äfthat we can frather the parties who have ere-, on the 22d of January. mon to all citizens, without distinction of creed, surer. 5

ated that necessity have good causo to fear the i wrn-pr u-h (i 1 t iev will exercise. I r .. j , We believe, from what we have seen from 1 its outworkings, that foreigners have nothin: to fear from the Know Nothings, either .1 .1 1 fi . I - llieir persons or in meir religion, it is luuieii- : tably true that our Irish fellow-citisensin some of our larger cities have come in collision with ! Americans, and blood has been spilt, but when it is remembered that an Irish Catholic is a n,l.iU.n.L;.n ,..,.1 i. ,i., .;,.: mon Imira viuuiwuo uviuji, auu tliat ucoiuuin "vu mu.w winsperea in nis ears au manner 01 unreasona.lle and improbable stories; thus poisoning his mind against the very people with whom he should affiliate, the difficulty disappears. They will learn sooner or later the real truth, and they will hurl back upon their deceivers the lull measure ot their vengeance. The secret of opposition to the Know Xothinges really comes from those demagogues who see in the unity and strength of the party an unerr ng indication of their own downfall. Speed the day when all who claim the right of citizenship shall be Americans at heart, whether native born or not, when the bondage of political parties shall bo torn asunder never again to be re-united upon American soil. Millard Fillmore. ' By reference to the resolutions of the Amer ican Convention held at Princetun on the 22d inst., it will be seen that the Convention recommended Millard Fillmore, as the American candidate for the Presidencjr in 185G. That resolution passed unanimously and with enthusiasm. Not a man in tho Convention but who seemed for Fillmore above all other men. Ye have already spoken out our preference fjr Mr. Fillmore, and said we believed him to be the choice of the people of the country. Xo man stands higher in the confidence and good opinions of his countrymen than Millard Fillmore no man we are sure, whose name has been presented before the people for this high office, is nearer and dearer to their hearts, and would more cheerfully receive their votes for the Presidency. We hope to see an opportu nity offered for giving him these votes. Dr. David Dale Owen. Dr. David Dale Owen was in tho city yester day on his way to Frankfort, Ky. The Dr had with him the report of his labors a3 Geol ogist for that State. The diagrams, showing the different strata of coal in our great valley were gotten up ina style so plain and thorough that the Legislators of Kentucky can easily see the riches hidden in their State, and truly this great work should be pushed on to completion, and wo trust that the assembled wisdom of Kentucky will understand their interests well enough to make at this session a large appro priation in aid of tho Geological survey of their State. Kentucky was fortunate in secu ring the services of Dr. Owen; and she ought to retain him by all means. Nothing is better calculated to develop the resoarces of any State than such surveys. They not only point out the riches, but induce population, and build up manufactories, tho second great in terest in any country. CCJ"' A meeting of steamboat masters and owners was held in St. Louis on Thursday, in the office of the Board of Underwriters, for the purpose of devisins ways and means whereby their property might be rendered more secure in case the ice in the river opposite the city should suddenly break up, and there by cause a serious loss of steamboats lying at the wharf. Capt. J. N. Eaton, Agent of the Board of Underwriters, was elected Cairman, A large number of gentleman interested in steamboats were present. A committee was appointed consisting of five, whose duty it shall be to recommend to the next meeting the best plan to secure the boats at the wharf from injury in case of a movernment of the ice Capt. Green offered for adoption, memorial to the City Council, praying that fire plugs be estabished at points along the Levee, and hose provided of sufficient lenght to reach from them to steamers at the landing, so as to en sure a ready supply of water, at the instant of fire breaking out on any of the boats. Adopt ed. fj5-The" New Albany Tribune says that city is yet without a public Reading Room and Library, ands hold up the example of Evans ville and some other places, as worthy of New Albany imitation. Our Reading Room is certainly a great public accommodation not only to citizens but to strangers. Within the last week we have met three citizens of New Albany enjoying the advantages and pleasures of this Reading Room. Apparently . appre ciating its value, 'we hope when they return home, they will be ready to assist in starting a similar institution at New Albany. The River. Evening before last, the ice running in the river, came to a pause opposite our wharf. Yesterday morning the river was closed, although the thin ice connecting the lanre cakes was not strong enough to bear. This is the first "freeze up" of the river we have had this winter at Evansville. Tho stream is very low, there only being 3)a feet water on the principal bars. The weather is cold, with no immediate prospect of moderat injr. New York Railroads.

Afternoos SessionThe Convention assembled at 1) o'clock. On motion, Mr. Jas. Stello, of the Washi ngton Telegraph, was also appointed Secre tary. Mr. McConnell, from the Committee ap pointed in the morning, reported as follows: The Committee appointed by this Conven tion to recommend rules for the government of the same, also to report a plan for the selection of a Delegate to the National Conven tion, would report as follows: Besotved, lhat this Convention adopt for its government the rules of the Legislature of the State of Indiana. Besolved, That each county in the first Congressional District be entitled to t?tv votes in this Convention in the election for Delegate to the National Convention. Besolved, That the President of this meet ing appoint two Delegates from each county represented to cast said vote. The report was accepted. On motion, tho following resolution was inserted in place of the last of the Report: Besolved, That the several Delegates agree among themselves, as to the persons who shall cast the votes of each county represented, for Delegate to the National Convention. The following gentlemea wero appointed Committee on Resolution. Jas. A. Mason, of Knox; E. Embree, of Gibson; Henry D. Allis, of Vanderburg. Tho Convention then proceeded to vote by counties for Delegate, and on the third ballot, Mr. A. M. Phelps, of Warrick county, was elected Delegate, and Mr. Jas. A. 1 Mason, of Ktiox, alternate Delegate, and on motiou the election was declared unanimous. Tho Convention was addressed by Messrs. Hines, McConnell and others while waiting for the report of the Committee on Resolutions. Tho Committee entered, and made the fol lowing: Whereas, Tho growth and prosperity of our country have created an urgent necessity for additional State and national legislation: and Whereas, The party mandates of both the Democratic and Whig parties have long been so imperious and party fealty so imperative as wholly to forbid good men of either party, from acting according to the dictates of honest views of State and national policy: and Whereas, The early and pure principles of these parties, have become either absolute by the rapid advancement of the nation in agri cultural, mechanical and commercial pursuits, or contaraminated by the selfish scheming of artful demagogues, we revert with affectionate regard to the precepts of Washington upon our federal relations, domestic institutions, and especially upon the wiles of foreign influence, and proclaim the obviousand imperative neces sity for the formation ana expression oi prinples, independent of these parties; these prin ciples we will express briefly in the form of resolutions. 1. Besolved, That the highest civil duty of an American citizen is to promote the prosperity of his own country; that to do this, he should maintain, strengthen and detend the principles of American Republicanism, as they were promulgated in the resolution of 1776, and incorporated in the constitution of the United States; we hold that tho true spirit of these principles can be appreciated only by such familiar intercourse with the country and its institutions as is necessary to imbue the mind with a distinctive American perception of tho nature of free Government, and with that sentiment of attachment to it, which shall render him its effective friend and supporter, and which shall impel him to cordially exclaim America should be governed by ttose tcho are inspirit and in thought Americans. . 2 Besolved, That while we have full confidence in the strength of our own Nationality as it is cherished and defended by our National citizens, and with scarcely less attachment maintained by a large number of citizens of foreign birth who have become Americanized and indentified with us, yet the same cannot be said of the extraordinary concourse of aliens whom recent inducements have brought to this country; for they have neither knowledge of our government nor of its institutions; and from their numbers and the facility with which they may be misled, they offer dangerous means of power to ambitious demagogues who do not scruple to make use of them as allies to secure selfish ends. This is fully evinced by the frequent evidence they have afforded of their incapacity to appreciate the right of suffrage, when they have obtained it by the operation of our present system of Naturali zation; and to the manifold abuses tO Which Wo ?. crtrttax. tn tiaiV LruTo. ovrl tr. j - " -" " time has com- when it is essential to the purity .... r. .
