Whereat, Ih the platform- of pnnclples adopted by the.National Council in rob: 1 marylast authority was given to each ! State Council to amend its constitution ■ so as to abolish the several degrees, and ; institute a pledge ;of honor instead o , other obligations for fellowship and aui mission into the party; and whercaa.it is , desirable that the proposed pledge shall be uniform throughout the States, embody mg,- as nearly as possible, principles 1 unon which our organization is founded-- ; Resolved, That apledge of .honor is recommended to the several State Loimcils for adoption hy them as embodying all the principles, aims and objects of the L American parly. I The “pledge of honor*’ proposed. is simply, a pledge to" the principles of the American party—to support fur office no i man-who acknowledges-any ciyil allegii ance to any foreign ’power, or who-refuses J to acknowledge tho Federal and State i constitutions as paramount to all other r laws. To these declarations the candidate j is to pledge “bis life, bis fortune and Us f sacred honor.’* •. ; i Resolved, further. That all provisions of - the constitution, rules and regulations, } special notes, ritual or other enactments by the-National Council, which conflict . with the principles enunciated in the 1 “pledge of honor" now instituted, be, 1 and the same arc hereby rescinded and • abolished; provided, however, that it is.not - tho intention or meaning of this resolur tion to change, modify, or in anywise alter the “platform of the American parly,” ’ adopted in February last. These rcsoluHons to take effect and be in force in each State when odoi>ted by the State Council ’ On motion, the foregoing preamble and ‘ resolution were referred to the Committee 0 on Credentials. Tho President announced that it Jwas *, noW the duty of tho Council to go into 6 an election of officers for the cusuing year. 3 Ho (the presiding officer) having served 3 tho past year, would ask to be discharged. 1 It was for the Council to fix tho time. ? when that elect ion, should bo held. J . It was moved and carried that as soon as tho Committee bn Credentials should have reported, this Conncil do go into an election of officers for the ensuing year. ' Tho motion of Mr. Marshal.!, was then taken up and ably discussed. During the ’ discussion the President decided that this Council was" guided by the precedent of * the last National Convention, which sat i with open doors. An appeal was taken from the decision , but afterwards, it was laid on tho table.The following amendment,to Mr. Marshell's resolution, was introduced:— Resolved, That, from this time forth, wo present the American party to the country not as an Order, not as a society, but as a broad, [Comprehensive, conservative, nar tional party, standing, like otherpolitical i parties, openly before the country, invi- ] ting to ife fellowship, all who adopt its r sentiments and participate in Us convictions; but nothing herein shall be construed as to. interfere with any. organization f which the party, in any State, for its gov- - eminent, may have adopted, or chose to 5 adopt.. * ' '■ ■

Tie American party at election held in Washington on Monday- last elected four Aldermen, and. the. Anti-Americans elected three; to the City Council twelve Americans were elected and nine Anties; of the Assessors four a’rs Americans and three Anties. The foreign candidate for. Mayor was elected by n majority of (Airteen rotes over the American candidate,— This-result) says the Baltimore Clipper, was not unexpected by -o large number of the Americans of Washington, who were.' aware of the unscrupulous means, the vilp corruptions, that were intended to bo perpetrated by the Foreign .faction of that city, aided and abetted by the whole power. of tho General Government. Every Government official in Washington; was assessed, and made to pay a portion of his salary to aid in swelling the enormous corruption fund that had been'formed for tho purpose of carrying the city at all and every hazard. Wc are informed that'there were several hundred more foreign born voles polled this year than lost; and in addition to this, in some of the precincts, all tho Foreign party tickets wore printed on green paper and the threat held out to every m&u hoiding.oflice m any. of the .Departments, . who was suspected of Amcrican principles, that unless he voted this green ticket he would lose his situation. An organized gang of bullies and cut throats from Baltimore were also imported into Wash* . ington by. the Foreign faction, for the doable purpose of aiding in' mobbing and assaulting American voters tliero and of voting illegally—to which honorable employment they doubtless added alittlo pocket-picking and watch-stuffing on their own private -account. The result, under the circumstance v reflects honor upon tho indomitable Americans of the federal city.

The foes of the American party would, willingly lay the flattering unction to their: souls, that the m ighty grasp of its strength j on the hearth of the people, is being re* laxed, and the power it so suddenly ac* quired over the public mind has become just os speedily enfeebled.; *11115 is what they charge, bat it is more than they believe; The principles of the American party are loo deeply seated in the hearts of patriots, and it§ purposes too important in the eves of intelligent citizens who can and dare look'beyond the present of our country’s history, into.the lulure—to be nprooted even by defeats and disasters, which as yet tbo American party has not experienced to any dangcrona extent, nor more than marks the first start of every great party. . , : t - If the American party wore to die today, those who participated in its brief history wonld have nothing of which to be ashamed.' No party, was over founded ppon more patriotic principles. No parly in its purposes ever .aimed'at higher objects, nor with stronger and wider clasp gathered in-its embrace the whole Union. Its works have already been, Dying today,- these works would bo a glowing monument to the mebory of the Ameriican party. Demagognoism, cringing at the feet of foreign influence—foreign influence: itself, fostering and cherishing tho most dangerous. influences, / end daily, hourly strengthening iw‘grasp upon ns—never before met with.such a rebuff as they have received; from' the American party. This party baa. at least set Americans to thinking. More than this—it has brought vividly before their 'eyes, in .all its startling dangers, the power of the foreign influence which was' fast insinuating itself into every department of.Government, and snatching the reins from the hands of Americans. It has convinced onr people, that this powerful influence must bo stopped in its rapid progress.— Whether the American party will be chosen as the means to apply the remedy or to eradicate the evil, remains to bo seen. If it be not, some' other party will have the task to perform. Tho work has to be done, sooner or later. -The American party is before tbo people, ready and willing to undertake the task. . V\ by cannot it be trusted? It is National in its principles, and truly patriotic in its objects. It interferes with tbo' riglils and interests of no man already a citizen of the Republic. On tbo] contrary, it proposes a stronger protection to the rights of American citizens, whether native or foreign born.' In this connection, we make the following extract from an editorial in the Louisville Journal: ’

Constant rotation of the unwearied wheel

Mentally, morally and physically, man is formed for action, and. in the same ratio that he exercises, his mental, moral, and physical capacities, will be their improvement. As we enter the great theatre of life we stare at the confused mass of objects around us; all. moving by the muscular exertions of organized bodies ,or as they are acted upon by the over acting laws of nature. ,-The spirit of our ago ia progression. .- Young America inHcribcs on her banner. “El cel si or.” ■ By her rapid strides in the fine arts, and sciences and all the noble qualities that tend Ip'elevate a free people, she gives to the free pi earth a happy watchword! “We live to move."'. But in our haste for improvement let us discriminate between progress and pscurfo-progress, between advancing*, and retrograding. Herd’my, raiml calls up an instance of improvement in tho moral world which was submitted hut a short time since to this community* I refer to a company of wouldbe great • men - styling themselves - the “Friends of Human : Progress,”, who we presume must have had “beginning of days” in some ill-fated clime, to labor as they did to turn Happy Colombia to the condition of Spain or Mexico, with this exception, however, of reserving, the greatest discovery of eighteen centuries—that of conversing with the spirits of tho dead of all the post ages of the world.— 11 igh loons. Heaven, save us from such progress! Mr! Editor, 1 desire very much io impress tho youthful readers of tho Reveille with the subject of this paper. ■ While free liquor is deluging our State and sweeping away all tbe barriers against vice, and while politics is “all tho go” with us os a nation, arid when scarcely a gale sweeps from, the cast or west bnt brings tidings of war;—m these ominous times let mo raise my voice to the young and.call upon you to bo at your if your"Wins' 5 W .‘IMS** task. It is written in unmistakable characters in your nature that you are designed for action. Take then a Arm. stand. Fall into ranks on the side of right and pick your flint for a deadly shot. By the blessings of Providence wo are all sovereigns, and from our elevated position it becomes very important that wo find our level out upon the sea of active life. Some will always be found to draw back for fear of breakers. Sirs, let me sit in the foremost car of progress, truly called such. . We live to move.. Said an intclSligcnt gentleman to roe the other day, [after reading your phonetic corrosponj dent’s piece, “That m an, sir,'is one hundred years.ahead of the age,” ; Original, moving, thinkers and Writers are the great desideratum in tbe literary and scientific [world. - , “Be sure you’re right,” and then proceed with haste'. With the aid of the iolescopewo observe*the celestial bodies and find them in constant -motion, although many of them are at such immense distances from tis aa to make their motioij imperceptible. I am firm in the flheory tlmt there is not a stationary point i in the (universe sufficiently large to aflord |;a dandng place for a cricket. The infejlriqr order of animals and man physically must have a constant eye to exercise of body. Compare tho inert dwarf with tho robust giant; pry into their early schooling, ami you will find perhaps one a honied pet, while the other was taught to labor. But look at the difference in mind. Compare the thoughtless Turk, whose aspirations for benefiting his race never rise higher than the smoko which carls from under his nostrils, with some of the medium specimens of live Yoang America, whose active life in onr stirring land has called forth.the energies incident to cultivated minds, Who can institute* these comparisons and not say, Action is plainly written in onr being? If one reader of - * this thinks there is a stool of rest for him in our bristling world, 1 tom his case over to tbe writer of profane, and also of sacred history. Make a minute as you tarn-page after page, and tell ms I at the close tho list of active - heroes and | inert great men. To particularize would bo tedious. As I write, myriads of heroes. made such from tho stirring events of their ,imes, will loom up before tho mind of tho reader of history. From this, thou, one may easily observe tho direction the mind points. Let the Urea of the great, tho noble, and tho good, inspire the young for progress in all that is truly great and good, and your course will far exceed in value all “ermine robes or kingly diadem.” * Buckingham. Milton, June 4, 1856.

We tfre all mourners; we can all visit the “City of the dead ’ and point to the sod-covered mound, 'ncath which rest tins remains of some one in whom orir-fondest affections were mitered. My experience Kith learned mo to rightly sympathize with those who mourn the departure of; loved ones;. - It has been my lot to drink deep of the cap of sorrow, and pass under affliction. It Is hut recently that I was called to follow-the lifeless remains of a mother, who loved me as a inipthcr only loves, to their last resting place on earth. A father, two brothers, and a little sister hail gone before, one by one, to the spirit land. Our little home was made sad at their departure, yet there was one Mt that rendered it still dear.* But now she—my Mother!—is gone;, and that homo that has ever been dearer.to me than all things else in this world, is entirely tiesolalo—lhe life of it has fled—the littlg circle is broken, and dear hearts are scattered hero and there. And oh! when I visit it again, she who was always there to welcome mo with a smile will be there no more —no marc to rejoice when I rejoice, and-weep wheu X weep. \ct, oh Lord, wo would not murmur or repine; hut bow in 1mmhie submission at thy gracious dealings, knowing that .thou dost not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men; and that theso-light afflictions “worketh for us a far more'exceeding and eternal weight of glory,” m bringing us to that “house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” Tliough wo see tho forms of onr loved

Buchanan and Breckinridge':

The Democratic National Convention met at Cincinnati on Monday Inst, Its cession was protracted and stohny. The friends of Pierce, Douglas and Buchanan were each sanguine of the success of their favorite. The outside pressure was very strong for Buchanan; fully n thousand of the lending politicians of Pennsylvania were in attendance, using all their influence,' nnd plenty of mony for the success of their favorite. These men were opposed to any compromise whatever, and were hold in avowing that if Buchanan jvas not nominated, nobody would be. Pcpnsylvania was not alone in demanding the nomination of Buchanan; other delegations look the same decided stand, and even the Indiana delegation was unanimously for him. D6ugIaT~having been withdrawn, JameS Buchanan was nominated on the seventeenth ballot. In the afternoon of tho some day, John C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, was nominated for Vice President. The old line party has now entered the contest for 1856. There are already three Presidential tickets in the Held, and three Conventions arc yet to be held: One on the 12th day of June, ono on tho 17th of June, and the lost one on the 4th day of July. . .

. The American -party arose, tho, party aptly described by the Herald, *fa national. organization of 'intelligent,' conservative voters of. the country."- Its mission is peace. Its object |. is tbo preservation and tbe dangcrobs machinations of do meslic traitors. Its* face is s.ct against sectionalism, against foreignism, against tho corruption of o|d political . parties, against.all that can-imperil r tho public peace br'prospority or threaten with danger our liberties or onr republican institutions. ... In its very yontn this American party wrestled sturdily with abolitionism m tho North and with the disunion parly in Iter'S buthj and pnrifled, end more experienced, it bas emered the contest against sectionalism .and foreignism. Its proud •banner, has been flung gallantly to ffao breeze.

(From the 31ol>!t« .Idrertlier,' Tbe American Party. 1 ■ - „ There is an A moncan party in the United 1 Slates.which 'diflused over the wholes us thank God it is so. - i’he origin .of. this American party was necessary* to purge * the ; ballot-box from foreign influence and its incidents, There is no well-informed gentleman in tho United, States who will aver that tho ballotbox has not been, for years past, and annually is, the depository of abominable frauds; and that these, frauds ore usually practiced by demagogues, to obtain for their party the.voles, of. vcual or ignorant foreigners. ■ . .

. Another American in the United States Senate. — The Legislature of Connecticut has elected Hon. James Dixon to serve as . United States Senator in place of Mr. Toecf.y, Democrat, whose term expires on the 4th of March next, Mr. Dixon is a true American, one of the Simon-pure' style, mid we hail his election with much pleasure. The Republican press is whining pitifully because a Black Republican is not chosen, although that faction polled hut a fraction over 6,000 votes at tho last election, a few* months since.. \ , •

American Victories

Keep it Before the People. Keep it before the people, that tho following resolutions were adopted by (ho Indiana democrats in 1849: Resolved, That tho institution of slavery ought not to bo introduced into any territory where it docs not exist.

The anti-Americaus have beta signally defeated at two important points within a few days. Wc refer to Now Orleans and Washington City. In the former place, the American majority is 2,000 — in the latter they have carried four out of seven wards. Such news is cheering.— President Pierce, with all his' influence and patronage, cannot-defeat the noble Americans of Washington! All honor to them.

Resolved,' That inasmuch as New Mexico and California are in fact as in law free territories, it is the duty of Congress to prevent the introduction of slavery within their limits.
