It Fas been the policy of his most violent opponents/ the Republicans, to encourage this gloomy view of the future, : arid 'drcumstauces Iiavir iierhapa favored their misrepresentations. :.\Ve suspect that time will show that his prospect of success is by. no means disheartening.

- The position ■ ol National. Americans in tho coming Slate canvass, however in consistent or anomalous it may appear to ’somei is nevertliplesF pIain and easily defined. V But ns there are some who are either ignorant or mi sin formed ns ■ to the real state of affairs, it behooves ub, ns National Americans, to explain thatpositiqn, or give opr view of it. ■ The American Patty; when first established, prorlnimcd/as one of its primary principles', or rather aa a consequence of its success, a beneficial change m the man agement of ■ onr state affairs, and the wpnl ‘*Beform” stood boldly forth on Its banners.. .The people, tired of the injudicious and inefficient legislation tq which they had been subjected under “Democratic” rule, eagerly sought that Reform which it was the avowedpurposo of the American party to effect, and triumphantly encouraged it, by. their' suffrages. ‘ The State officers elected by.the People's Party in1854/ haverendered Universal satisfaction, and the' promises made the American Party have’ been; thus far rc-' deemed. When-wo recollect, 'therefore, that the State Ticket nominated by (he Anti-Americans, and for which they demand, the votes ofVtlie peoplC/ is composed of men who do irpt scniple to boost of their immorality as if'it were'n whoso favorite hobby is . Free.. Whisky, which is in serious obstacle to.rcform—men - who indorse , that greatest of modern .abominations, the ‘ KaneasrNebraska taw—when wp carefully consider these truths, and weigh well the fact that there is no' alternative—that we rmist cither supporl tbo People's Ticket, or give countenance to the embodiment of all that is: politically or morally iniquitous—the * ?Democratic" party—there is * bn t one course to .pursue, and that is to voleTor and earnestly adhere to the People's Ticket The Convention that nomiihatnl' (lits ticket was composed, of the Anti-Nebras-ka and Native American elements,'anI as far es the State ticket is concerned, did well enough. It gave us good, men, not at all ultra' in their political sentiments, and we have evidence of this in the fact that the Abolitionists, Of whom Geo, W. Julian is the mouth-piece in this state, denounce this ticket, and absolutely refuse to indorse it. The Peopled Convention bad no right to choose an Electoral ticket—it was no pari of its legitimate business, and we, therefore, do. not feel bound to, nor will we support it, unlcfis the Electors so nominated pledge themselves to vote for Fillmore and |ibnelsoo.; The Republican Convention,, which is to meet in Philadelphia on the 17th inst., may or may not nominate or rather ratify the nominations of Messrs. Fillmore and Dunclson, whom wc recognize as the only true, conservative American nominees.

New York, Juno 14.

, The Anti-Fillmore American Convention accepted, to-day, the proposition of the Republican Committee for a fusion, and/passed a scries ;pf resolutions working to that result/ One of tin*resolutions proposes that the Convention shall nominate a candidate* alul also appoint a committee to confer with. the and afterwards with;the Republican Convention. The plait; as understood by outsiders, is to nominate Geo. Law, who will declare in favor of the nominees of the Philadelphia Convention, to meet on the 17tb lust. Mr. Law made a speech to the Convention, advocating tWrcst'oralion of the Missouri Compromise,bod n llailroad to tbo Pacific.: . . . ’ *

. TfiE’Cmfra is Kentucky. —The Louisville Courier says; Qii’r intelligence frothall parts of the State, 'with reference to the' growing crops, is of (lie most unfavorable and discouraging character. The .wheat; and other Email grain! has in,many see-; lions been hopelessly ruined by .tbo fly, and various insects. Besides; the;drouth" has .been so severe and protracted that the 1 coinjias materially suffered.' The latter,* however, does hoi seem to be tbo'opinion; farmers. They entertain that ai *'dry Juno’* is favorable tjo that crop. Fruits will be scarce hereabouts, and the, general crop fail to a great degree! But; while the country is enjoying a condition; of snch marvelous prosperity, there are 1 no serious apprehensions felt. Thn coun-j try is strong enough and rich enough 16endure a great deal of adversity. .More-*] over/it is qmla.too early yet to bo venturing predictions about the crops. Croakers abound let it be remembered. \Vo give the above only as tbe current talk.

■ Tiiis most account for my apparent neglect in. giving a more prompt reply. You will portion me fur saying that, when my mini inis tration closed in 1853, I considered my political life a« a public man at an end, and thence forth I was only anxious to discharge my duty as a private citizen. Hence I have taken no active part in politics,.hut I have by no means been an indifferent spectator of passing events, nor ImVo I hesitated .to express my opinion on all political subjects, when asked, nor to give! my vote anil private influence for those men and measutes I thought best calculated to promote the prosperity and glory of our common country. ’ Beyond this, Lhave deemed it improper for mo tu interfere. But this unsolicited arid unexpected nomination has imposed upon me a new duty, from which 1 cannot shrink; and therefore approving, as I do, the. general objects of the party which has honored mo with its confidence, 1 cheerfully accept its nomination, without waiting to inquire of its prospects , of-success or -defeat. It is sufficient for me to know that by so doing I yield to the wishes of a largo portion of my: fetlow-citizens in every part of the Union, who, Hko myself, are iincerely anxious to see the adminislra,ion of oor government restored to that original simplicity ami purity which marked the first years of its existence, and. if possible, to quiet that alarming sectional agitation which, while it delights the monarchists of Europe, causes every irao friend .of bur country;to mourn.. * .Having tho experience ;of past service in the administration of tho government, I may be permitted to refer to that as tho exponent of the future, and to say, should the choice of the Convention be sanctioned by tho people, I shall, with the same scrupulous regard tor the rights of every section of tho Union, which then influenced my conduct, endeavor to perform every doty cohfidetb.by tbo' constitution and laws of tho Execblive.

We think the Slate Ticket selected by the People’s Convention, infinitely snpenor, in every particular, to the Old Line one, and aro not, therefore, at all reluctant to rise our best endeavors to promote, its success. The Electoral ticket is quite another thing, and as it is not altogether "Hobson’s choice” (that or none at all), wo will not give it countenance, unless, as previously stated, the Electors aro Fillmore md Donclson men. Wo see (hat a Convention 1ms been suggested, to bo held af New Albany on the 4th of Jolv, to consist of the friends of Fillmore and Donelson, If it be the object of. this Convention to nominate an Eleclpral ticket, we say aye, with all our heart, provided that the action of the 17th of Jane Convention not in consonance with our'duty toward Fillmore andPoholson. As for State ticket, i tbit we think altogether.unnecessary, and if we understood, this call, ij. is not.to be a pari of the Tribune,

Letter from Judge McLean.

Jackson's Opinion of Buchanan.

New York, Jane 14.

The Newark Advertiser to-day contains the correspondence between Justice HemUower and John McLean.

On tho.night before, leavirlg Nashville to occupy tho Whito House, Mr..Folk, in company .with Gen; Robert .Armstrong, called at the. Hermitage to procure soma advice frouis the old hero as to the- selection o t liis cabinet. Jacks on strongly urged the President elect, to noplace in it tbBuchahan, as.bo could not be relied upon.- It so happened that, Polk had already determined to make that very appointment, having probably offered.the situation to.tbe statesman of- Pennsylvania, . This fact inducedGen.' Armstrong subsequently lo' teU'Jackaoii that he had givbii Polk rather, a hard rub, as Buchanan had been selected for Secretary of State, "I can’t help it,” said the' pld man; *'! felt it my. duty, to warn him ngaiost Mr. Buchanan, whether it was agreeabie/or- not. ,: , Mr. Folk will find Buchanan' an unreliable, man. I know him well, and' Mr. Polk will yet"admit the correctness of my prediction. Itwesthe last visit evertnade by Mr. Polk to' - thd.olg hero when this unavailing remonstrance was delivered, but tbo new President, long before tbeend of bis administration, had reason to .acknowledge its propriety and justice; and in tho diaiy kept by.him during'that period, nipy still bo read a most emphatic declaration of his distrust of Mr. Buchanan. ‘Every one is aware of tyro marked instances in which, as Secretary of State, the latter failed to support the policy of the administration, viz, on tho question of the tariff ot 1846, and tho requisition of the ten. regiments voted by Congress for the Mexican war. On both of these measures he was known to be opposed to the wishes of Mr. Folk.

As the proceedings of the Convention havo marked a'new cra m tho history of the country, by bringing ajieiy political organization into the approaching Presir dontiol canvass, I take the occasion to reaffirm my. fall confidence in the patriotic purposes of that organizatiqn, 1 which I regard as springing' out of a public necessity, forced upon tHe country toa large extent by, unfortunate sectional divisions, and tho dangerous tendency of those divisions towards disunion.

Mr. McLean eulogises the ordinance of *87; expresses feelings of the deepest regret and the most painful apprehensions for the safely of our institutions, to witness.lbo growing imliflorenee to the hostility developed duringlho last few-years to tire principles of that great measure of Jefferson. He looks npon the presen t distracted condition of Kansas- as a fruit of that ill-advised andnmchiavonrmeae'-

It matters not much who theso old lino chaps select from among the score of office seekers, for the people ofSwitzcr* Und .county are tired of old -tins rule, and will elect tho American Reform Ticket by a large and overwhelming majority —just as they did in 1854 and 1855.

JKjrTho Methodist General Conferenco adjourned shic die on Tuesday nigh l, at 12 o’clock, having been in session for twenty-nine days. The Conference bad Ilia subject of slavery before it for several days, on a proposition to introduce in tho church discipline a general rale, forbidding the traffic in slaves and the bolding of slaves for selfish or mercenary purposes. The Conference, alter a long debate, voted'.it down-deeming it imprudent 16 introduce the subject at present. The vote stood 123 to 02.

It alone,'in my opinion, of all tho political agencies now existing, is possessed of the power to silence this violent and disastrous agitation, and to restore harmony by.its own example of moderation and forbearance.. It has a claim," therefore, in my judgment, upon every earnest, friend of tho integrity of the Union.
