Unica, Sept. 21, 1859. At twelve o’clock General G. A. Scrocas, President of the Grand Council, called the American State Convention wo order, and J, W. Husted, Secretary of the Council, read the call for the Convention. About three hundred and Tifly delegates were present. €.S. Macoms moved that a committee of five be ap- pointed by the Chair on credentials. LS. Parsoys, of Albany, moyed to amend by making ‘the committee number thirty-two. He did so in order that there might be on the committee those who knew the delegates. ‘The Cuur—What! thirty-two as a Committee on Cre- @entials! Mr. Parsoxs—Yes sir. The amendment was carried by a large majority, a count being demande James R. Tuomson asked that the credentials might be handed in. He did not see how the Chair could know ‘who were delegates until this was done. R. F. Anpuxws suggested that the delegates themselves, from each Senatorial district suggest the names of the committee. ‘The Cuam—The resolution is that the Chair appoint this committee. Mr. ANDREWS—My resolution does not conflict with that resolution. Jue A. SxovH, of Washington, thought that before any business could be done a committee should on the credentials. He saw no difficulty in the ‘way of nominating thirty-two members as the committer Ik was desired the committee should know the d gates presenting credentials, so that if there was any in- ‘Yention on the part of the members of other organiza- tions to interfere corruptly with the action of ‘this Convention, it might be nipped in the bud. Cheers.) He hoped no objection would be thrown in the way of this course of action, and that the Convention, in all its Proceedings, would be a unit. ‘The list of Assembly districts were then called, and ‘eredentials handed in. ‘This first struggle is regarded as a triumph of the hard- ‘shell portion of the party. ‘When the committee was announced considerable squab- Dling took place. H. J. Invive objected to the name of George Briggs ‘on ‘the committee from the Sixth Senatorial district. He be- Reved he did not now live in the city of New York. Mr. Briccs—I do live there and I hope I always shall. Soc! T. Headley said that as the hall has no gallery, and ‘& is impossible to do business while so many outsiders are on the floor, he moved that when the Convention met in the afternoon they meet with closed doors, and that delegates and alternates be admitted by tickets. (Ap- plause.) J. A. Smith—Shall we then get rid of Peter Cagger? (Laughter. ) A delegate moved to amend, by admitting the press. Accepted by the mover. W. D. Murphy objected to the resolution at t] would be equivalent to admitting such delegate Committee chose, independent of the will of the tion. As be understood the matter it was i the report of the Committee on Credentials the acceptance or rejection of the Convention ‘On motion of A. F. Russell the Convention adjourned till two P. M. On the reassembling of the Convention, Gen. Grstavcs Apoiruvs Scroccs announced the question to be, on the motion of Mr. Headley, to exclude all but delegates, alter- mates and reporters. Mr. W. D. Mcxrny moved to lay the motion on the ‘table until the report of the Committee on Credentials was received. Agreed to. Mr. G. Briccs, from the Committee on Credentials, ret ported the list of delegates, stating there were no con. tes g ted Keats ‘Mr. ANDREWS, of New York, moved the acceptance of the report without reading it. Mr. Ricuamonn, of Genesee, objected. He desired that report might be rea bar tH of jegaten was then called; the name of Eras- tus Brooks was the only one that drew Convention. Fifty-two counties were represented by 198 names on ‘the list. One hundred and fifty-five delegates answered to their names. Mr. H. B. Norrurve moved that Mr. Erastus Brooks be ‘unanimously ciected permanent president. The motion was carried amidst loud applause. Mr. AypREws then moved that Panic! Ullman and Mr. Northrup be appointed to conduct Mr. Brooks to the | ehair. ’ ‘The motion was carried. Mr. Brooks upon appearing upon the platform, was Jondly applauded, and three cheers were given for kim by ‘We Convention, standing, as he took the chair.

Lg neon oe ‘ie Yate American member, pure | ei ow York they had played harlot time. and time again, but his skirts were clean, and he had therefore a right to denouce this gale and bargain of ‘Americans. He had not voted for a democratic Mayor or a republican Comptroller, and he therefore claimed the right to refuse to be sold out by a few political tricksters. He knew that fine sophistries would be used and eloquent speeches made in support of the proposition for the dis- ruption and sale of the Party, He had come here from motives of conscience, and did not desire to ciencgatiae, but he could not submit to be geld, and so help him: he would not be sold. He now offered this resolution for the consideration of the Convention, and if this was not agreed to he was then prepared to offer the next best thing, and that was not the making up of a half and half ticket. Mr. Ricimonp, of Genesee, denied that this was a Con- vention of gore heads, but of men who were buoyant and Joyous and confident in their power to do something that would be effective in this State and Union. If the gentle- man desired te find sore heads, he would have to find them at the headquarters of the republicans and demo- crats—(appiause)—in Peter Cagger’s office, and Thurlow Weed’s studio. The object of these men was to carry the State of New York, and now they trembled in their shoes lest the Americans should prevent citner one of them from doing so.

There was just enough material on the two tickets to make one decent ticket; neither were fi a whole to govern the State. He was here as an American. He yielded to no man in that, but he recognized the fact that there must be a union of the opposition to destroy the power of the democracy in the Union. The republicans of New York were willing enough for a union if the Americans would consent to take back seats, This they would never do, nor would they go for any candidate who did not love and was not loved by the whole Union. J. T. Hxapisy thought this Convention important ever held. They must and free from any feeling or excitement. He had come here with his mind unsettled, and he believed that a straight ticket could command 60,- 000 votes. He would bave advocated that so far as bis conscience was concerned, but could go for a half and half ticket without difficulty, for that was in truth the very first principle of the party, There was then no objection to taking a part of the democrats and a part of the the most be dispassionate republicans in the formation of a ticket. The object to be kept in mind is to get out the strongest American vote. We hoped that New York would, in this election, show the people of the whole Union that the vote of the State of New York would never be cast for a party or candidate who cannot run south of Mason and Dixon's line. This great view should be kept in sight, and the people of the Union should be assured that New York Americans are loyal and Union-loving at heart. New York had occupied a proud position with her Southern sisters in the Revolutionary war, and. she would notnow sanction any doctrine that said the North must stand alone in an “irrepressible conflict” with the South, They we hot now going to fayer this or that man, but they were going to show their own powers and make their vowe respected. Mr. Hvsrep said that this was not the time for the dis- cussion of this question. He moved the previous ques- tion, which was ordered on Mr. Duganne’s amendment. : ‘the amendment was lost, only three or four voting in lavor of it, The original resolution was then adopted by a very large affirmative vote, only three or four voting in the negative Loud applause followed the announcement of the result.

When the Convention was again called to order, said he had been anxious to consult the wishes of the delegates of the different districts, but fifty names having been sug- gested for sixteen places he found mueh difficulty in avonling a great responsibility.

Mr. Brooks announced that the late State Committee had prepared an address, which would be presented in the course of the evening Adjourned til 7 P.M. On reassembling, the CHarr stated that during the after- noon session the Convention had absolved persons not de- legates from taking part in the proceedings of the Conven- tion. He theref6re, at the request of the Convention, ap- pointed four Sergeants-at-Arms, and requested that all Bot members take seats in the back part of the hall.

Adopted. Mr. Brooks reported to the Convention the following ad- dress and resolutions, presented by the State Committee :— ‘The members of the American State General Com- mittee for 1858-59, respectfully submit the following ad- dress and resolutions, setting forth their opinions apon | questions of public policy, and their views of what, under all the circumstances, should be the ruling counsels and action of the American party at this time That as mem- bers of that party we adhere to the often expressed dow: trine, th is a Wise and just ymmerpie of government | that American born citizens’ should be the chosen repre- sentatives of the people. We believe that this principle in | its entire spirit, and materially in its letter, is laid down in the constitution of the United States, and that every se- | rious departure from it, has tended, and will tend, to weaken the government and affect its stability. Enter- ing neither prejudice nor passion against our fel- low men on account of their foreign birth, and denying the doctrine that one lawfully and properly made an Ame! can citizen by the laws of Congress, is not al- to be protected in his natural and acquired rights, at home and abroad, we, nevertheless, hold it to be the true part of patriotism and of a wise discre- tion, where we can, to gee, in the words of the great and good Washington, that “none but Americans are put on guard.’’ The constitution of the United States, which we regard as the true basis of all politi- cal platforms, demands of Congress uniform laws upon the subject of naturalization, but this principle has been set at naught by the creeds of un-American politicians, and by practices in some of the States which “i all the equality between the citizens of the eral States. Hence, in part, the reason for the exist. ence of a purely American party now and in times past. The gross abuse at the ballot box, the corrupt and cor- rupting machinery by which political parties have been controlied, the manner in which foreign born citizens and residents have been used and abused, the frequent con- centration of political influence in the head of a religious establishment, when the constitution forbids everything in the shape of an established church, or any control of the freest exercise or expression of opinion upon the su ject of religion, long ago demonstrated the necessity of the infusion of a higher, truer and better Americanism nto the politics of the country. ty had it origin in no selfish or am of those who gave it existence and or- It was called into being to reform acknow = aspirations ganization. le¢ged abuses in the old political parties. which distinguished the fathers The love the repubtic, w organization was first consimmated. Their purity live, Gisinterestedness of action and fidelity to prin of the cider and better men of the country, had ec to be the controlling rule of the government. The ballot box, always unbiased, the true interpreter of the will of the people, was no longer free, and therefore did not untr, press the judgment of the nation. In all primary assern. dlies it failed even to become the proper manifestation of the choice of a party. The worst men and the worst means were used to control it. Its use in those assemblies has been well chara ized as a ‘political maebine’’—a machine invented for the worst purposes and guided by the worst hands. Its inventors having no higher aim than to use the franchise for gain in money, and to obtain places in public office, it has degenerated into the bases of all buman invention: It makes the will of the million snbservi and these a ants of a mean and ome the ser’ despot ¥, locking to office and its emolu- ts sole objects of free government. It crushes ont all noble aspirations, destroys all honora- ble ambition, effaces all that is’ good and in a well erdered government, and practically ives the people over to the despotiem’ of the worst meinbers of Society. Much of this 18 owing to the indifference of those who hav p most at stake in the enactment of good laws, and in their prompt observance. Those exert themselves to vindicate what is right b: y and order in the community, are often but indif ferent spectators of the extravagance of the official repre ptatives of national’ State and municipal governments. Property is thus looked upon merely as an element of high taxation, and the claims of labor, of capital, of go. ciety, of honesty and simplicity’ in government, yield to the tricks and cupidity of a body of banded ‘bo should men, who care nothing whatever for the public good. These selfish and corrupt motives become the pillars which support and uphold the party machine. The time hus come when it should be overthrown and destroyed, and if for no other reason because as it is it stands in the way of all new political organizations, and of all success. al reforms, Ours 18 a government of the people ud that Which contributes most to their truest we jt rves the common good.

But We are not unmindful of the fact that there are those at the North just as ready to disregard the second section of the fourth article of the constitution. They do not like to tolerate or submitto the surren- der of persons “held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, into another,’ though it is solemnly declared that they shall bo ‘‘de- livered up on claim’ of the mary to whom such fer- vice or labor may be due.’ ¢ constitution and laws are therefore obstructed and resisted in both sections of the country, now in Ohio, and now in Georgia and South Carolina, and in each case with an equal dis: rd of the compromises of the constitution and of the laws of the land. $0, too, in regard to the enactment of slave codes for the government of the territories, when there is notone inch of territory in the United States where slavery can possibly find profitable existence or permanent lodgment. The people of Kansas settled among themselves and in their‘own way all their internal difficulties; and the re- sult will be thesame in every other Territory under the federal government whenever a like conflict of opinion exists between the interests of free aud slave labor. It was declared by a leading United States Senator, re- presenting the State of New York, within the year past, that there must always be an irrepressible conflict be- tween the North and South upon this subject; and to illus- trate the sentiment it was said that New York must be- come a slave State or South Carolina must ‘become a free State. How unlike is this to the example of Washington, who exhorted peace, concord, harmony, forbearance and brotherly love between the North and the South, the East. and the West! How different ftom the sentiments of those who first met in Congress under the confederation and under the constitution, and there yielded up all pri- vate prejudices, every sectional advantage, to the com- mon good! At the recent. Bepbicas Convention, the Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions declared that ‘the doctrine advanced by Mr. Seward was true, and slavery or free- dom in this country must go to the wall.” We have lived with increased prosperity as one people, in one country, under cne constitution, and with one des- tiny for seventy years, to be told at the end of these three score and ten years of our political existence that now and hereafter an irrepressible conflict must exist until “slavery or freedom is driven to the wall,” or until New York is coerced in slavery, or South Carolina into freedom, We trust and be- lieve that, as in the past, the North and the South united to secure our national independence, working together at Bunker Hill, at Saratoga, at. Trenton, at Princeton, and at King’s Mountain, they will in_ a like Spirit, in future time, ‘be found hand in hand, battling for the internal peace of the whole country, against all of its enemies. In this State, as bas been shown for some years past, the American party holds the balance of power, and here they have been asked to surrender their own political indepen- dence and personal identity upon the paltry promise of of- fice, a8 if office constituted the end aim of all political ac- tion. Nothing short of being republican in name, in principle and in position, will satisfy the leaders of a party to whom one year since it tendered the olive branch, and with whom it invited co-operation upon terms of honorable equality. It has, however, been declared upon the highest republican authority. “That the union must be upon republican principles, with a republican platform, and a republican standard bearer.” Upon these un-American, degrading terms, no union can de effected, and even if it could be agreed to by the joint representatives of the two political parties, it would be scorned by all good men, and be entirely unsuccessful with the people. We do not expect the republicans to join the American party, nor can Americans subscribe to “republi- can principles, witha republican platform and a republican standard bearer.’ As Americans we can agree to differ mpon some questions of public policy for the sake of a union upon many others in which we are agreed. In this spirit of forbearance and conciliation alone, there may be a union of the opposition in 1860, and a successful co-ope- ration in placing a fit man in the Presidentinl office. In the school of experience Ict us learn wisdom, the want of which in the opposition ranks secured the election of a democratic President in 1866, and a like unwise. un-American, geographical and sectional course will accomplish the same result in 1860, The exam- ples of the erpemn, men in the States of Penn- sylvania and New Jersey—States whose voters are absolutely necessary to make a President—are wor- thy of imitation, and the Americans of New York would be glad to meet their fellow countrymen everywhere upon a similar basis. Nor can we consent to separate ourselves from those conservative States of the South which have previously and recently returned to the Congress of the United States some of the noblest men of the country—men who, in the last Congress successfully resisted all the blandishments of power, and withstood the temptations todo wrong. Neither the dread of exe- cutive power nor the allurements of executive patrot nd TaVOr Could persuade them to be faithless to the whol government, of which they were in part the chosen representatives. Louisiana, Kentucky, —‘Fennessee, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia and Tex- as, had or have such representatives, and we look hopefully for their ay ‘ance and reappearance, until they become not only the majority in the South, but co-operating with the snd and true men of the North, the ‘tand the West, the majority im the country. WHEN Vie good tive shill come, and the American people shall realise that we are indeed one people from the extreme Pacific to the extreme Atlaniic—one people withiu the bounds of every drop of water that washes our extended coast, over every lake and river that sparkles upon the surface of our broad domain, and one and indivisible over every sand and particle of earth that constitutes our hills, valleys and plains—blending agri- culture and commeree, manufactures and labor, country and people, like the sea and the land—into one harmo. nious whole; then will Providence bless us again as a na- tion, and the government be indeed prosperous and happy. taesly. is New York interested in all the issues which can lead to a consummation so much desired. She is wow the commercial centre of the New World, sending her ships and products to every port and harbor on the globe, receiving in return the bulk of allthe revenues which constitute the means of defence and support of the federal goverment. Vast in her trade, great in her re- sources, blessed by nature, full of a glorious history, she nevertheless suffers from that fatal misgovernment which has so long prostrated our federal and State governments to the worst of party purposes. Our inter- nal improvements have been neglected to agitate upon the one perpetual, tiresome, dishonest ery of African slavery, which, thanks to the wisdom of our fore- fathers, we are so happily free. ‘The abstract questions of absorbed about the entire interests of the We have seen our Canal revenues deorease, our taxes increase, our lands diminish in value, our trade checked, and competition more and more treadiug through rival State interests upon our own borders, while we have been quarreling about the extension of slavery into remote regions where there is no human power to take it. Jetus return from our dreams and wanderings, and once more become a practical people. As a_ political party we may not be able to command direct success for the principles we most cherish or the men we most hovor. But we can decide between a choice of evils, and throw our power and influence when it will be felt for the common good. We can select and elect from the cundidates already in the field the best men for the honors and services of the State. We can at least have the magnanimity and courage to do that which is best for the common Wealth, without the desire or hope of political or personal reward. We frankly own our inability to place the men of our choice where we would most gladly elevate them, if it were in our power to do so. But there is always a preference between men, their relative honesty and character, their fitness for place, their antecedents, their experience and geographical positions. In this spirit of self sacrifice we present to our political brethren of the State, and to our fellow citizens without distinction of party, this address and the resolu- tione whieh accompany it iting all who concur with us in opinion to cooperate with us in action.

Smith, were absen, as he wished to make some critical remarks directly baring on their positions before the public on the gubjedof his paper—the quarantining of yellow fever— for wi by the bye, it should have been mentioned above, tte Academy of Medicine met principally last ney The. NT here remarked this is the only subject before th) Academy. Dr, Gxyoom replied that he thought, out of justice to the gentlem@ absent, the paper ought not to be read, when of coursg unable to defend themselves. AN mxMBER thought that out of respect to these gentlema (Dr. Francis and Dr, Smith), each of them up- wards a seventy years of age, the discussion should be postponal. If they were “Young Americas” it would be different but such old gentlemen could not be expected to teave thtir homes such an inclement night. ‘The rhading of Dr. Griscom’s paper was, therefore, post- poned, and in lieu of it, to occupy the time, the President requestd the members to open a discussion on some other sabject. Dr. Griscom then related his treatment of a case of anestharea, accompanied with effusions of the chest. The patient was fifty years of age, and the habits of the pa- tient were the cause of the diseased state of his liver, ‘The curative used was American Indian hemp. Another member, Dr. Ganusi, related his treatment of apatient afflicted with spasms, caused by running an iron nail in the sole of his foot. His cure was a quarter of a grain of assafoctida and hyasearmus every two hours, nigh} and day. He also administered chloroform fre- quertly during the treatment. Dn Foster replied, and was of the opinion that it was not the assafeetida that did the cure; he believed that there wasto cure no more than there is for smallpox. The dis- ease inust cure itself, The only remo’ or aid the physi- cian pould give in such a case, it wou. be, in the mean. whilt, to properly sustain the system of the patient. Afler other gentlemen had made a few remarks, Dr. McNexry, after asking whether it was in order or not, offered the following resolution : Reolved, That while the Academy recognise the report of tle Committee on Materia Medica, appointed to report on felatinous cod liver oil, decm it expedient not to re- commend it as sold by others than Mr. FE. Quen. Ly. MeNvury followed esolution up by speaking quit? lengthily on the practice of introducing quack medi- cites into the Academy. He said it was stultifying them- selws. Men outside the profession got their endorsement certinly not for the profession nor saftering humanity. buttor filling their own pockets, merely for an advertist ment. He did not believe in making the New York Academy of Medicine a mere mercantile advertising agency. He also made a comparisen between the Acade- my of Medicine of Paris and that of New York. In Paris t Wus entirely under the supervision and protection of the gevernment. Dr. BARKER, on the opposite side of the house, proposed that the resolution should be laid on the table. Several other gentlemen objected to the resolution. Among them Dr, Pursey, who said that if no action was taken by the Acade ith regard to patent medicines, no improve- 1s ini medicine, good, bad, or indifferent, would be presented to the Academy. Dr. ScRInNER, here took the floor, and said, gentlemen, no one, as you all Know is more indebted to this Academy, ug a manuiaeturer more than myself, but T advise and I am of opinion, that these medicines be approved, but not insuch a manner as to be used in any way as an adver- tisement, this is the point. (Applan Dr, SaWyER thon offered the following resolution: Rerolyed, That we disapprove M. Queru’s conduct in i using the endorsement of the Academy of Medicine as an advertisement for gelatined cod liver oil. Dr. Barker said he was opposed to Dr. MeNulty’s lution, because it was not broad enough. If it ©: ageneral principle, which would pre from being a means of mercantile adv: a in favor of it, but it did not, and, therefore, he proposed it should bo Jaid on the table. Dr. MeNvity thereupon withdrew his resolution, and Dr. Griscom offered the following substitute :— Resolved, That no report upon any article of medicine or surgery presented to the Academy be allowed to be taken from the files in any manner. This resolution gave almost unanimous satisfaction, and came very nearly being carried. It was, however, final- ly determined to refer the subject to a general council in order to give the members of the Academy generally opportunity and time to digest the matter. The remainder of the evening was spent in listening to a description of a newly invented machine for spinal complaints—a padded brace. It should have been men- tioned above that the advertisement aud accompanying directions on one of M. Queru’s gelatined cod liver oil bottles, was read by Dr. Griscom, and caused great laughter on account of the extended use made of the Academy, and its endorsement of 1867 throughout the advertisement. The meeting adjourned at eleven o'clock, with Dr. Griscom’s paper the next subject in order at the next meeting. —— Fires in New York. ‘Tae ANN Srrxer Frrt—Fertigg PaRTICcULARS.—The fire on Tuesday night, at 49 Ann street, in the premises of A.

Roby, show card manufacturer, No. 51 Ann street, is insured for $3,000 in the Williamsburg Gity and North Western Insurance Companies. The paper on store, on the second and third floors of No. 51, is owned by Goddard & Ballard. It is insured for $1,500 in the St. Nicholas and $1,500 in the Exchange Insurance Company. ‘Fink iy PRu srREet.—Between four and five o’cloci yes- terday afternoon a fire broke out in the cotton batting manufactory of P. Walsh, No. 20 Pell street. The alarm was promptly given, when the firemen soon arrived and extinguished the fire. ‘The damage done to the stock and machinery by fire and water will be about $590.

SinvtaR Death wmux IxtoxicaTep.—An old man sixty years of age, named James Maloy, was found dead yes- terday morning, lying on his face, with his skull horribly fractured and his brains scattered about the yard of rear house No. 20 Mulberry street. Coroner Jackman held an inquest on the body, when it appeared that deceased came to his death by attempting to cross the roof of his house while in an intoxicated condition, a feat which it seems he was in the habit of frequently performing. On Tuesday evening he was in the room of Mr. Owen Felton, residing at 20 Mulberry street, and left about nine o’ck with the intention of performing his ustal dangerous ex: plot. The last that was seen of him, until his dead body was discovered, he was ascending the ladder ‘eading to the roof of the house, from which he undoubtedly fell and was killed. A verdict in accordance with thm ‘was rendered. POSTAL DIRECTORY. Foreign and Domestic Mails.
