That we most heartily and cordially in-, dorse the late American platform adopted by that parly at Indianapolis on the 17th ultimo. 2. That we will use our utmost efforts as a party, to have espunged from our organic law that obnoxious and disgraceful feature, allowing foreigners lo-vote with a six.months residence. . ■ 4. That the American party is, anialways was, in favor of the free sndunUanimtleJ exercise bnd chjoymentof Religious opinions, be they wUT they may, but Is, and always was opposed to, either the Catholic or any other Church, interfering, os such, in any way, with our political institutions. We deprecate the blending of Church and Slate. ' v.; ’■ -■ 4. That we hurl bach in the face of its perpetrators. the foul mouthed slander that yve are ptnscripljvc of the Catholic as religionists; as we only demand of them to cense using their power asan tclejiastical body; to gam I’Ohli* cal power;, ; ■ • ■ 6.

At the reception of; die British minis*; ter yesterday, Lard Napier in addressing. the President, eaid he was instructed to! convey to him the cnrnestdesire entertain- ’ ed by the Queen,Jo preserve and advance* 1 oh all occasions, tha interests and happi-j ness of England and ' America, which.so ; deeply involved in. their: amicable intercourses; to manifest to him the hearty gqod wishea which Her Majesty cherished for the prosperity of the U. S. lie ventured to congratulate the President on his accession to the highest elective dignity in ibis country or thn worhl; saying, may ton enjoy it in health, peacci and ever increasing honor; may the: period, of your government be distingmshedhy its treasures, for the public welfare.* v Permit me, ho cuntiiincd, to express to.youmy.graiificatidn,; in being selected to renew, at Washington, the relations of international friendship, which have .been so ably sns* taluett by your representative in London, lliis important and grateful duly might have been committed to others uiorocapable of.doing: justice to the sentiments of benevolence, which animate my Sovereign and evciy,order of her ministers and sub* ]ccts; but no one could appiocchyour cx : cellcncy with greater,respect forydur person or or a warmer good will to the Amcricaif people. lie then delivered’, the credentials ’and letters which her majesty had been gracious* ly pleased to intrust to bis care, The Presidcni, in reply, ofleicd to Lord Napier a hearty welcome as envoy extraordinary and .minister plenipotentiary oilier. Britanio Majesty to the U. Slates. “Your Sovcrcign/’ he. said; “1 am convinced could not have selected a more acceptable rcprescnUlivc than yourself, .to renew, those'.relations of international friendship, which, 3-trust may never hereafter bc.intcrn)ploiI; the earnest arid gr acious desire expressed by her majesty, to preserve and advance upon all occasions, the interests and happiness of England and Atdddca, the hearty good wishes which Imrmajesty cherishes for the proaperity of me. United States, are cordially reciprocated on my part, and will elicit an enthusiastic response from the hearts of the American people. No independent powers have ever been bound together by material interests of* such magnitude, as those which unite Great Britain and the United Stales; indeed the prosperity of one is necessarily involved in that of the other, but mutual interests however vast, without! .mutual regard, are not' always sufficient; to pictcrvo friendship between nations.— How happy then am 1 to receive the assurance that your Sovereign, Her Majesty and every , order of her‘subjects arc'animated by sentiments of benevolence to-J wards .the government ami people of the U. S. During my administration it shall bo my agreeable duty; as ■ well a’« my earnest desire, to increase tho-friendship and good will now so happily subsisting between the two countries, and' to render these sentimeiits strong, ami enduring.— With such: sincere end heartfelt dispositions on both sides, shouM; difficulties ever arise between the two' governments, they ryill he adjusted, in a spirit of mutual forbearance and conccsston. j ' . I return your lordship my thanks for your kind expressions and .wishes in reference to myself; and I feel confident'that in cur future intercourse ivo stall proceed harmoniously and satisfactorily, In discharging our respective duties. * ■

The Hamilton Spectator relates the following incidents connected with the late tcrriblo disaster on the Toronto Hail-' road. It says: There were ninety , passengers on the train, and the list of those who have escaped numbers only about twenty. .As’ far as wo.can yet loam, every one in the '; first car Was killed; those who were not crashed being drowned in the water, whichnearly filled the car,. About thirty were in the last car, of whom ten were ; taken out dead, and most of the .others were fearfully mutilated. The conductor, Mr. Barrett, the deputy, superintendent of j the line, Mr. Muir, and Mr; Jessup, one. of the auditors; who were an tha hand ! platforro, ; jumped off and escaped! The j express messenger, Mr. ——lit. Rich-. 1 ardson, o coiidnctor.on the nadj! and the : mail conductor, were with the baggage-.j wan. The latter jumped over the bag- • gage he had piled;up ready for delivery, j and escaped ivitjr but slight injury, while ; the roroe/othors.Avenl down, but; iniracn. j lotisty enough; wore out much hurt. Thoj engineer and fireman went under the jee! jvith the ; locomotive, and their bodies ’ liavc not yet been recovered. ■ J The excitement in the city, .direct ly the j news’ .spread, was ; intense. Hundreds! swarmed towards the Great Western De { pot, and streamed the line to the fatal; spot. There the scene presen tied was such ■ as to baffle description, Large locomotive j lamps wereSpeedilybrought. i Fifes were 1 kindled and a lurid glare was thrown over j the shattered remnants. ‘.Special trains 1 were despatched to. the bridge, to' bring • home the wounded.; It was no easy task! to descend the steep slope to the' canal. • Hopes weralowcred and; ladders attached j to them, bn whirit the dead and .wounded i from the bar which stood endways were first drawnupV, Then the bottom of the] car which had. partly sunk 1 through the; tec was hewn away; with axes, and, the J unfortunate passengers, somcsadly hi tilt- ; latcd and even cut in pieces, and'all silt- j nraled with water,wcrctaken out. - Many ■ worked with cnergy und' vigor; but whoi was that noble fellow that every onomnst j have seen,' stripped to hisshiit.sleeve?, j standing tip io his middle in the freezing! water, who, himself a host, did wore than all the rest? Wo watched him long from j the.hoightjibove.'as he; hewed away the [ fragments and extrica leJ. llie'bodies.

The Louisville Journal gives the following facts in regard to the affair: ■

The yonnglady alluded to is Miss Mary E. B. Miller, of Nashville, Tcnn., who was placed at Nazareth by her brother about one year ago. Wo publish bcloiv a letter from Miss Miller.herself, stating tire reasons for her flight from the Convent, It appears that she was left at the schoul with the explicit instructions iltaf she was not to be required to conform to the requirements ol the Homan Catholic Church, but to be left to the exercise of Iter own judgment and. trill in religions matters. .These instructions were altogether dtsrcregarded, and severe punishments, cunlinement for several days at a time without food, and other penances wet o inflicted upon a young and unprotected girl to compel her observance of the coxvkoSional, the most odious and objectionable of. all the practices of the llomaii Catholic Church.
