Sir : At a regular meoting of tlio American Stato Council hold in Altoona, on the 15th of April last, it was Resolved, That a committee- of five members be appointed to solicit from the candidates put in nomination by the Convention held at llarnsburg on the -oui ol Alarcli, tlicir views in regard to the principles of the American party. In pursuance of Iho foregoing resolution the undersigned were appointed said Committee : JOHN BROTHEULINE, JOHN COVODE, D. M'MURTRIE, J. N. POWEH, GEO. W. PATTON. You will pleaso give us categorical answers to the following interrogatories which embrace the principles of the American party to which your attention is desired : 1. Do you hold that in the election or appointment of all officers native born Americans should bo preferred ? 2. Aro you in favor of tho protection of American labor, American rights, and American interests ? 3. Are you in favor of tho purification of the ballot box, a reform in the naturalization laws, the enactment of a registry law, and the prohibition of foreign paupers and convicts landing upon our shoros ? . 4. Are you opposed to any interference of Church Hierarchies in politics ? 5. Aro you in favor ol Freo Schools for tho oducation of all classes, with tlio Bible as a tnt book used therein ? With groat respect, We remain Your humble servants, . JOHN BROTUERLINE, Chairman, R E PLY. Uniontown, May 22, 1857. Genlkmen: Your hitter of tho 5th instant reached mo just as I was preparing to leave homo for a few days. 1 avail myself of tho earliest leisure I havo had sinco my return, to reply. ' - You commumcato to me auesoiution ol the lato American State Council at Altoona, appointing you a committee to solicit from the candidates put in nomination by tho Convcn- tion held at Harrisburg, on tho 25th of March U u, inu VVJI.I.II thoir views in regard to the principles of the American party ; and you append a series of interrogatories, which, you say, embrace those principles ; and to which you ask from me, as one ot the candidates reiorred to, " categorical answors." I might deem it a sufficient reply to say (hat in tho earliest stages of its progress in Western Pennsylvania, I co-operated in the American movement, upon faith in its professed principles; and that I fool no inclination to abate my advocacy of its legitimate purpo ses, which I conceivo aro to clevato tho dig nity and purity or tho elective franchise, and to depress tho power of foreign influences, priestly and political, social and industrial. This is my epitome ol American laith. hat- ever is not subsidiary to this I renounce as apocryphal : whatever is taken from this I denounce as npostacy. But I proceed to answer your inquiries more specifically; which I do the more readily, as 1 detect in thorn nothing which calls lor opinions which, under my present relations to the Peoplo of Pennsylvania, it would bo obvious ly improper for mo cither to form or express. Giving to tho word preferred, in your first proposition its due emphasis, I affirm tho prin ciple it embraces. It however, in my estima tion comports with this rule ot preference to say, that cases may ariso wherein, by reason of diversity or character and ol principles in volved, I would be bound, as an American, to prefer entrusting offico to a citizon of foreign birth, rather than to his competitor of American nativity. Your second inquiry commands a ready ai- firmalivo. Let the rights and interests of free American labor ba preserved, protected and defended by all the appropriate powers of Government, Stato and National ; so that every good citizen, in every avocation, may have his heart cheered, Ins arm nerved, and Ins home endeared, by the ever present thought that he lives and labors under laws enacted and administered for the prosperity and happiness of himself and his family. Your third interrogatory involves consider ations of grave and perplexing import. The ballot box is tho mast delicato of all tho vital organs of free government. It is tho vory well spring ol our political lile, into which no unclean thing should enter. To establish a uniform rule of naturalization is one of the delegatod powers of the Federal government : the regulation or the right ol sutlrago is a prerogative of State Sovereignty, Ilcnco this important right nmy bo restricted, or enlarged, without any alteration of our naturalization code. But as in most of tho States not in all suffrage is made to attend upon naturali zation, some reform seems to be necessary. This need not be exclusive For, wore our naturalization laws, oven as they now stand, administered according to their letter and spirit conferring the rights of citizenship upon no foreigner, who, during tho proper period of probation, has not behaved himself as a man of good moral character, attached to the principles of tho Constitution of tho Unitod States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of tho samo, our elections wo'd soon cease to bo subjects of reproach abroad, and of danger at home. I havo little confidence in penal enactments and Registry laws, so long as our Courts impress the seal of citi zenship indiscriminately upon all who apply Wo have too long been sought to bo made the Botany Bay and pest-house for half the nations of Europe. And" whilo I am willing to free government with tho honest and industri- : ous foreigner, of every clime, I want no com munity ot rcsKienco, citizenship or suuragc with the hordes of paupers and criminals who crowd our ports. Shut them out. Subject, therefore, to the qualifications herein indica ted I n(lirm your third proposition, i Tho principlo of " iion-intorvcntion " by Church hierarchies in politics, embraced, in your fourth inquiry, is too palpablo just to re quire any exposition. Let tho members ol every ecclesiastical organization not inimical to our civil and religious liborties, enjoy all their social and personal rights ; but let hem not pervert their spiritual powor, or betray their allegianco to a Kingdom not of this world by arrogating pctentions to political control. To deny or doubt tho truthfulness ot tho principles embodied in your fllt proposition, would bo to seek to undermine the entire structure of our Republican liberties. Education should bo as freo as tho air. It is the very atmosphere of freedom; and should therefore be as pure as Heaven and man can make it. Such purity can bo found in the Bible nlono. Our Governments wore founded in tho Religion and Ethics which it teaches; and can bo upheld only by their continued inculcation through every channel of influence, from the cradle to tho grave. I greatly rejoice that the Ainorican Order in Pennsylvania has as evinced by this au-thnritativo embodiment of its principles to which I havo just responded severed itself from those extraneous issues which recently disturbed its action, and dimmed tho lustro of its early victories. It has emerged from that inappropriate cxclusivcness and indiscrimination which beset its early career. Its work ings aro now open and acknowledged. Its aims havo becomo more singlo, and a more liberal spirit guides to their accomplishment. It has adapted itsell to co-operation with oth er politicnl organizations whoso attainable ends harmonize with its own. For, who can fail to seo that tho rights of free, honost intelligent suU'rago, and ot free, honest, whilo labor, have, now one common enemy ; that those around us who succumb to the arrogant ag gressions of sectional power, aro they who court, and coalcsco with, tho deluded followers of a foreign hierarchy: that tho feculence upon which slavery extension leeds is that which poisons and pollutes our ballot boxes. There should then bo no strila between tne American and tho Republican parties in Penn sylvania; for they bo brethren. We aro all Kcpublicans wo aro all Americans. Anu thev of either faith who war against tho other, are, however unwittingly, but tho allies of a power which seeks to crush us all. 1 am uentlemen, , With very high regard, Your friend and fellow citizen, JAMES VEECH.

Add soino essenco of amber, vanilla and nevoli about a quarter of an ounco of each to render tho fluid agreeablo. Tho liquids which aro sold for the professed purpose of assisting in curling tho hair, aro chiefly composed of cither oily or extractive substances. - fj3""Wcll in v lad, where aro you traveling this stormy weather, alono !

Tho following is the memorial of Professor Silliman and forty-two others of Connecticut, addressed to his Excellency James Buchanan, the president of the United Stales : The undersigned, citizens of tlio United States and electors of tho State of (kmuccti-cut. respectfully oflbr to your Excellency this their memorial. : io lunuamoniai principle of tho Constitution of tho United States and of our political institutions is, that the people shall make their own laws and elect thoir own rulers. We see with grief, if not with astonishment, that Gov. Walkor of Kansas openly represents and proclaims, that tlio President of tho United States is employing, through him (Walker), an army, one purpose of which is to force tho peoplo of Kansas to obey laws not their own, or of tlio United States, but laws which it is notorious, and established upon evidenco. they never inade, and rulers they never elected. We represent, therefore, that by tho foregoing your Excellency is openly held up and proclaimed, to the great dorogation of our national charactor, as violating in its most essential particular tho solomn oath which the President has taken to support tho Constitution of this union. Wo call attention, further, to tho fact that your Excellency is in like manner held up to this nation, to all mankind, and to all posterity, in tho attitude of " levying war against a portion of tlio United States," by employing arms in Kansas to uphold a body of men and a codo of enactments purporting to bo legislative, but which never had the election, nor sanction, nor consent of the people of tho Territory. We earnestly represent to your Excellency that we also have taken the oath to obey mo i.onsiiuiiioii, arm your Excellency may rest assured thut we shall not refrain from the prayer that. Almighty God will make your Administration an example of justice and beneficence, and with His terrible majesty protect our peoplo and our Constitution. Tho President's reply was as follows : "Washington, Aug. 15. Gcnllawn : On my recent return to this city, after a fortnight's absence, your memorial, without date, was placed in my hands through tho agency of Mr. Horatio King, of tho Post Ollico Department, to whom it nau born entrusted. From tho distinguished source whence it proceeds, as well as its pe culiar character, I havo deemed it proper to depart from iny general rulo in such cases and sivo to it an answer. You first assert . . n. . . , l . ... 1 . that tho " lunuamoi.iai principle oi wiu constitution of tho United States, and of our po-litieal institutions is, that tho peoplo shall make their own laws and elect their own rulers." You then express your grief that I should have violated this principle, and thro' Governor Walker havo employed an army, " ono nurnose of which is to forco tho people of Kansas to obey laws not their own nor of tho Unitod States, but laws winch it is notorious nnd established upon evidence, they never made, nnd rulers they never elected," and as a corollary from the forgoing, you rep resent that I am 'openly neiu up ana pro claimed to tho derogation of our national character as violating, in its most essential narticulars. the solemn oath which tho Presi dent has taken to support the Constitution of this Union." These aro heavy charges, pro ceeding from gentlemen of your high charac ter, and if well rounded, ought to consign my namo to infamy. Rutin proportion to their irravitv. common lustico, to say nothing ol Christian charity, required that ucioroniaMiig them you should havo clearly ascertained that they wcro well-founded. If not, they will rebound with withering condemnation upon their authors. Havo you performed this nreliininarv duty towards tho man who, however unworthy, is tho Chief Magistrate of vour country ? If so, cither you or I aro la boring under a stranuo delusion. Should this nrovo to be vour case, it will a memorable ex ample of tho truth that political prejudico is blind even to tho cxistonco of the plainest and most palpablo historical facts. To theso facjs lot us refer. When Ientered upon the duties of the Presidential uffico on tho '1th of March last, what was the condition of Kansas ? This territory had been organized under tho act of Congress of the 30th of May, 1351, and the Government, in all its branches, was in full operation. A Govornor, Secretary of tho Treasury, Chief Justice, two Associato J usti-ces, a Marshal, and District Attorney had been apointcd by my predecessor, by and with the advice and consent of tho Senate, and were all engaged in discharging their respective duties. A codo of laws had been enacted bv tho Territorial I,czislaturo, and the J udi- ciary were employed in cxpoundingand carry ing these laws into cllect. It is quite trno that a controversy had previously arisen respecting tho validity of tho election of the ineiiilicrs of the territorial legislature, and of the laws passed by thoin, but at the time I entered upon my official duties, Congress had recognized this Legislature in dilferent enactments. Tho delegate elected to tho House of Representatives under a ter ritorial law had just complotcd his term of service on tho day previous to my maiigura- t on. In fact. 1 lound tne uovcrnincni oi Kansas as well established as that of any other Territory. Under theso circumstances, what was my duty 1 Was it l.ot to sustain the government ? To protect it from the violence of lawless men who were determined either to rulo or ruin ? To prevent it from beinff overturned by forco ? In tho language of the Constitution "tako caro that tho laws bo faithfully executed." It was for this purpose, and for this alone, that I ordered a military forco to Kinsas to act as a posso comitatus in aiding tlio civil magistrato to carry the laws into execution. The condition of tho territory at the time I need not portray, which rendered this precaution absolutely necessary.

I ask whatclso could 1 have done, orougni I to have done ? Would you have desired that I should abandon the territorial Rovorn mcnt, sanctioned as it had been by Congress, to illegal violence, and thus renew tho scenes of civil war and bloodshed which every patriot in the country had deplored ? This would indeed havo been to violato my oath of office, and to fix a damning blot on the character of my administration. I most cheer-fullv admit that the necessity for rending n,jjtnry forec Kansas to aid in tho execu blame fall upon tho heads or tho guilty.' Whence did this necessity ariso ? A portion of the people of Kansas, unwilling to ti ust to Iho ballot-box, that corlain American remedy for redress of grievances, undertook to create an Independanl goveriinie.it for themselves. .. . . n . . .1 Had this atlempt proved kucccssiui, it i would, of course havo subverted tlio existing government proscribed nnd recognized by j Congress, and substituted a revolutionary government in its stead. This was usurpation j of the samo character as it would bo for a portion of tho peoplo of Connecticut to undertake to establish a. separate government within its chartered limits for the purposj of redressing any grievanco, real or imaginary, of which they might have complained against the legitimate government Such a principle, if carried into execution, would dostroy all lawful authority, and produco universal anarchy. I ouirht to specify more particularly a condition of affairs, which I havo only em braced in general terms, requiring Ihe presence of a military forco in Kansas. Tho Congress of tho United States had most wisely declared it to lie tho true intont and meaning ol this act Iho net organizing tho Territory, not to legislate Slavery into any Territory, not to exclude it therefrom, but to leavo it to the peoplo thereof, perfectly freo to form anil regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to tho Constitution of the United States. As a natural consequence, Congress has also proscribed by tho samo act that when the Territory of Kansas shall be admitted as a State, it shall lie received into tho Union with or without slavery as their Constitution may presenile at the time of their admission. Slavery existed at that period and still exists in Kansas, under the Constitution of tho United States. This point has at last boon docided by tho highest tribunal known to our laws. How it could ever have been seriously doubted, is a mystery. If a confederation of Sovereign Status acquire a new Territory at the expense of their common blood and treasure, surely one set of the par-tics can have no right to exclude tho other from its enjoyment by prohibiting them taking into it whatsoever is recognized to ho property by a common Constitution. But when the people, the foiin fi le residents of such a territory, proceed to frame a Slate Constitution, then it is the right to decide the important question for themselves whether they will continue, modify or abolish slavery. To them, and to them alone, does this question belong, freo from all foreign interference. In tho opinion of the Territorial Legislature of Kansas the time had arrived for entering tho Union, nnd the v .accordingly passed a law to olect delegates for the purpose of framing a State Constitution. This law was fair and just in its provisions- Tt conferred the riirht of snlfrago upon every 4ona fi le inhabitant of the Territory and for tho purposo ol preventing iraim anu uiu intrusion of citizens of near or distant States, most properly confined this right to those who had resided therein three months previous to tho election. Hero ft fair opportunity was ! presented for all qualified rosidont citizens of tlio territory, to whatever organization mcy might havo previously belonged, to participate in tho election, and express their opinions at the ballot-box on tho question of slavery ; but numbers of lawless men still continued to resist the tirritorialgovernmen'. They refused cither to bo recognized or vote, and ineuiljors of tho Convention were elected legally and. properly without their intervention. The Convention will soon asscuiblo to perform the solemn duty of framing a Constitution for themselves and their posterity, and in the stato of incipient rebellion which still exists in Kansas it is my imperative duty to employ tho troops of the United States. Should this becomo necossary in defending tho Constitution against violence whilst framing tho Constitution, and in protecting the bona fi le in habitants qualified to vote under tho provisions of this instrument in the free exercise ol tho rights of sutlrago when it shall bo submitted to them for their approbation or rejection. I have entire confidence in Governor Walker that the troops will not bo employed excopt to resist actual agression or in tho exocution of laws, and then not until tho power ot tho Civil Magistrato shall provo unavailing. Fol lowing tho wiso example ot .Mr. Madison to wards tho Hartford Convention, il.egal and dangerous combinations, such as lhat ol Ihe Toneka Convention will not be disturbed un less they shall attempt to perform soma act which will bring llieni into actual collision with tho Constitution and tho laws and in hat event, they shall bo resisted and put down by the whole power of tho government. In pcilorining tins uiuy, i si.nu n.iu mo up-probation of my own conscience, and, as I humbly trust, 'of my God. I thank you for tho assurances that you will not refrain frnui prayer that the Almighty God will make my administration an example of justice and beneficence.: You can greatly assist mo in arriving at this blessed consummation by exerting your inllucncj in allaying the existing sectional excitement on tho subject of slavery, which has been productive ol' much evil and no good, and which if it could succeed in attaining its object, would ruin the slave as well as his master. This wo dd boa woik of genuine philanthropy. Every day of my life 1 feel how inadequate I am to perform the duty of my high station, without tho continued support of Divine Pro-videncc, yet placing my trust in Him, and in Him alone, 1 entertain a good hope lhat He will enable me to do equal justice to all portions ol tho Union, and thus render mo an humblo instrument in restoring peace ami harmony among tho peoplo ol thu several States.

JCow, there is no financial revulsion whatever; as to ."hundreds of failures," there isnot a tenth of one hundred," even in New York.' As to Railroad securities, four-fifths of them have boon so thoroughly laid down, and abused, that their stocks have generally been sold below their intrinsic value.
