Our market continues to be well supplied with this article, though prices have fallen off; and what is offered is freely taken. The market has dropped a full Jc to-day. 800 bales were sold at prices ranging from 8? to 8$. Later from Kansas. L St. Louis, Feb. 25, 1856.?Advices from Kank sas to the 14th instant, state that the Kickapoo I Rangers threaten hostilities, that the free State men men were preparing, and that two mounted companies had left Laurence for Easton, where a won av*\aa^a/1 WUUIVV n UO CAyCVVCUl The American National Convention. Philadelphia, Feb. 25. The American Convention re-assembled to-day. A resolution declaring that the National Council has no right to prescribe a platform, and that no candidates should be nominated who were not in favor of the restoration of the Missouri Compromise, was voted down by 141 to 58. Febrvart 26. The Convention to-day nominated Millard Fillmore, for President, and Andrew Jackson Donnelson, of Tennessee, for Vice President.? When the Convention was about to commence ballotting, the delegates from Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio and Massachusetts, and parts of the delegation from Illinois, Iowa and Pennsylvania, seceded. National American Council. The National American Council at Philadelphia, . on Thursday evening, passed the platform of prin^ ciples published on the 15th instant, in the WashV ington Organ, as a substitute for the whole platform established by the June Convention. The vote stood: yeas 108, nays 77. The platform is as follows: 1. An humble acknowledgement to the Supreme Being who rules the universe, for His protecting care vouchsafed to our fathers in their successful . revolutionary struggle, and hitherto manifested to us, their descendants, in the preservation of the liberties, the independence, and the union of these States. 2. The perpetuation of the Federal Union, as the palla Mum of our civil and religious liberties, and tho only sure bulwark of American independence. 3. Americans must rule America; and to this end native born citizens should be selected for all State, Federal, and Municipal offices or government employment, in preference to naturalized citizens, nevertheless, 4. Persons born of American parents residing temporarily abroad, should be entitled to all the rights of native born citizens ; but 6. No persons should be selected for political station (whether of native or foreign birth) who recognizes any allegiance or obligation of any description to any foreign prince, potentate or power, or who refuses to recognize the Federal and State Constitution teach within its sphere) as paramount to all other laws, as rules of political ack tion. P 6. The unqualified recognition and maintenance of the reserved rights of the several States, and the cultivation of harmony and fraternal good will between the citizens of the several States, and to this end non-intorference by Congress with questions appertaining solely to the individual States, and non-intervention by each State with the affairs of any other State. 7. The recognition of the right of the native norn ana naiurauzea ciuzensoi me uniieu oiaies, permanently residing in any Territory thereof, to frame their constitutions and laws, and to regulate their domestic and social affairs in their own mode, subject only to the provisions of the Federal Constitution, with the right of admission into the Union whenever they have the requisite population for one Representative in Congress: Provided, always, that none bat those who are citizens of the United States, under the Constitution and laws thereof, and who have a fixed residence in any such Territory, ought to participate in the forma- ] tion of the Constitution, or in the enactment of laws for said Territory or State. 8. An enforcement of the principle that no State or Territory can admit others than native born citizens to the right of suffrage, or of holding political office, unless such person shall have been naturalized according to the laws of the Uni-. ted States. 9. A change in the laws of naturalization, maa king a continued residence of twenty-one years, w of all not heretofore provided, an indispensable requisite for citizenship hereafter, and excluding all pauDersand persons convicted of crime, from landing upon our shores; but no interference with the vested rights of foreigners. 10. Opposition to any union between Church and State, no interference with religious faith or worship, and no test oaths for office, except those indicated in the 5th section of this platform. , 11. Free and thorough investigation into any l and all alleged abuses of public functionaries, and i a strict economy in public expenditures. 12. The maintenance and enforcement of all k laws until said laws shall be repealed, or shall be m declared null and void by competent judicial au- , B thority. r 13. Opposition to the reckless and unwise poli- ' cy of the present Administration, in the general management of our national affairs, and more especially as shown in removing "Americans" (by designation) and conservatives in principle from office, and placing foreigners and ultraists in their ' places; as shown in a truckling subserviency to ' the stronger, and an insolent and cowardly bravado towards the weaker powers; as shown in reopening sectional agitation, by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise; as shown in granting to unnaturalized foreigners the right to suffrage in , Kansas and Nebraska; as shown in its vacillating I iL . Tr J M.I 1- - ? ( ; course on tne rvanias anu iveorasita question; as shown in the removal of Judge Bronson from the ( Wj Collectorship of New York upon the false and untenable ground ; as shown in the corruptions which [ pervade some of the departments of the govern- * meat; as shown in disgracing meritorious naval officers through prejudice or caprice ; and as shown in the blundering mismanagement of our foreign ' relations. 14. Therefore, to romedy existing evils, and prevent the disastrous consequences otherwise resulting therefrom, we would build up the "American * party" upon the principles hereinbefore stated, es- I chewing all sectional questions, and uniting upon i those purely national, and admitting into said par- i ty all American citizens (referred to in the 3d, 4th 1 and 5th sections) who openly avow the principles v and opinions heretofore expressed, and who will {, subscribe their names to this platform. Provided, i nevertheless, that a majority of those members present at a meeting of a local council where an applicant applies for membership in the American party, may, for any reason by them deemed sufficient, deny admission to such applicant. 15. A free and open discussion of all political principles embraced in our platform. mmmi^?????mmam?>. i J Communal Department. U Yorkville Markets. Reported Expressly for the Yorkville Enquirer by ' ( Thomas Daries Sc Co., Grocers and I'rodiice ' Dealers. February 28. j' Cotton.?Our market continued to be lively and j ! animated, with full prices and a constant demand, ; until the advices by the Atlantic and tho.4?a came i ' to hand. These reports, quoting a dull market in Liverpool, depressed prices here, and we are today compelled to note a decline of J cent below our last wee* s quotation.?. The demand is steady, i at prices ranging from 7 to 9 3d. Flour.?The demand for flour is still lively, but ! i prices arc steadily declining. We quote, in sacks $3.25 0 $3.50; for barrels, $70$ 7.50. Grain.?The grain market continues dull, and prices are unsettled. We quote the following rates: Wheal $1.25 0 $1.40; Corn, 55 0 60 cents ^ bushel; Oals, 40; Peas, CO cents; Meal, 60 0 , Groceries.?The supply of Groceries is larger : H than at oar last report. Prices are advancing i elsewhere, but our own market remains the same, to wit: S*gar, Kew Orleans, 121; Refined, 15 ; B Co fee, Rio, 15 @ 20?Java, 16025; Molasses, B India 62?Superfine New Orleans, 65 cents ; MackB trel, $6 Wf-b?rrel; Salt, $2.50 j* sack; Cheese Columbia Market. February 25. Cotton.?At the date of our previous weekly report of the cotton market, we stated that prices were easier, although not quotably lower, and also that a good and steady demand had prevailed throughout the whole of the week, at 8?92 cents. On the first daj' of the week now under review, viz: Monday, the same quiet but steady demand prevailed, without any quotable change in prices. On Tuesday morning, the news by the Canada from Liverpool to the 31st ult. came to hand, reporting an advance of Jd. in cotton during the previous week, with sales of 85,000 bales?speculators taking 12,000 and exporters 14,000 bales?leaving 59,000 bales of all descriptions to the trade, and also leaving a stock on hand of 419,000 bales, of which 253,000 are American. These accounts caused an immediate excitement to spring up in our market, and in the course of the day prices advanced J@?on our last quotations. During Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the demand was ac- i tive and good, and prices steadily tending in favor of sellers. On Saturday* however, the market was rather less active, and prices turned a point in favor of buyers. The sales of the week comprise 2,471 bales, and we now quote: inferior 8J i @8^; ordinary 8?@9; middling 9J@9J; good middling 9 jj@9ij; fair 9;}?10; and a choice arti- ! cle perhaps would command lOic. i Bacon.?The demand for this article has been dull since our last report, and consequently prices i are drooping. We still quote, however, 111?12 i for hog round; sides 11@12; and hams 12$ @ 13 -i cents, according to quality. Corn.?The supply of corn on sale is fully ade- j quate to the demand, and the market, therefore, is quiet but steady at our former quotation of 75 i ? 80c bushel. Peas.?There is a brisk demand for peas, and i they freely command 80 cents bushel. I Oats.?There is only a limited demand for oats, i and prices are almost nominal. We quote 55? i 60 cents per bushel. I Flour.?The flour market is drooping, and buy- i era are only taking small parcels to supply imme- i diate wants. We still quote $81 ?$8$ for com- < mon to good brands; fine family flour $9 per bar- i rel. Fodder.?The fodder market is quiet but steady. We continue our former quotations of $1$?Simper 100 pounds, according to quality. Dnmciteal. i . ! Married?In Chester, on the 18th instant, by I Rev. J. L. Pritchard, Dr. G. J.

TIIIS work is to be printed on good paper, in plain type, well-bound in sheep, in four vol- ) umes super-royal octavo?each volume containing six or seven hundred pages; and will be furnished c to subscribers at TWO DOLLARS per volume, to I bo paid to the Publisher's Agent on the delivery of the work. The publication will be put to press ^ as soon as fifteen hundred copies are taken. Proposals have been printed, and placed in the hands of Agents, who will proceed to canvass for the 1 work. Inasmuch as application for patronage will be I made to the reading portion of the community in r this and the adjoining Districts, justice alike to the enterprise and to those who are asked to favor it, t demands that some account be given of its charac- k ter. a It is the work of a Divine of acknowledged talent and scholarship, of piety and success in the Ministry; of one who devoted himself t? the stu- ? dy of the Scriptures, and the preaching of the j, Gospel for upwards of forty years, with an assiduity so intense, as to preclude him almost entirely ? from the secular cares and pursuits, common to many in the sacred office. The voluminous productions of his pan that now lie in manuscript, besides his Lectures on the New Testament, bear ' testimony to the zeal and industry with which he prosecuted his Theological researches, until within a few years of his death. In the Lectures which we here recommend to the favorable regard of the public, the reader is presented with a har- j mony of the Four Gospels, a clear and consistent Bxposition of the Sacred Text, and a large num- jj ber of Critical Notes and observations on obscure j and difficult passages, and on important points in doctrinal Divinity. The grand design of the author evidently is, to assist bis reader to acquire v i sound and accurate understanding of the Mind f of the Spirit, imparted in the Sacred Oracles, | u whatever sacrifice of his own prepossessions, or the prejudices of others, it may have cost him. ^ The style of the work is purely didactic?sim- t pic and inornate?seeking rather to instruct, than Q to please the taste. Much, however, will be found u in the perusal of the Commentary, to delight the earnest student of the Scriptures; but that pleasure will result, chiefly, from the unexpected and wonderful manifestations which are furnished, of I the perfect harmony of all the parts in the grand a scheme of salvation; their indissoluble connection, p ind their intimate dependency upon each other, from the eternal foundation, to the topmost stone In the imperishable edifico. The writer of this brief notice has given some portion of his time to ihe study of the Bible, and to the perusal of Comnentaries^ and writings on Divinity, and he is constrained to acknowledge, that he feels much inlcbtcd, under God, to these Lectures, for thecombrt and satisfaction with which ho is enabled to "j ead the New Testament Scriptures, especially the J Epistolary portions of tliern. Persuaded that tl itbers may be equally profited, lie takes pleasure 1 n recommending the work to the favorable notice if his fellow Christians every where, and particular- r y to that of Ministers of the Gospel, and Students j. n Divinity. While the plain and humble lover of ^ he Bible will be furnished with a safe and familnr assistant to a correct knowledge of the pre :ious part 01 uivine ncveinnon, on wtncn tnese 'iccturcs are written, and will find himself instruccd, encouraged, and comforted in Christ, the ? Public Teacher of religious Truth will find in these 11 rolumcs a treasure, from which he may draw large- ? y, to the increase of his own spiritual wealth, the " idification of the Church, and the salvation of ><5uls.

PANKEY, trill commence on TUE8DAY, the FIR8T DAY of JANUARY, 1856. The Scholastio year is divided into two sessions, of five months each. There will be a Public Examination at the close of each term. The experience of Mr. PANKEY, as a Teacher, especially in preparing Students for College, is too well known in the vioinity of hit former teaching, to need comment. To others who may feel a personal interest, we can only aay, having fully satisfied ourselves that he possesses all the requisites of a good, able and efficient teacher | and deeply impressed with the ruinous effects of a frequent change of teachers, we have secured his services for the next five years. We therefore, tako pleasure in presenting him to the public, be* ? lioving it will bo the interest of those who hate to board, to send their sons and wards here. We ^ cannot refrain from adding, that this will not be a school suited to indolent Students, as (rood order and progress will be rigorously required. This Institution is situated in one of the healthiest portions of the State, eight miles South-East of Yorkville, in a retired part of the District, remote from any temptations of dissipation &c.; in an intelligent neighborhood, and one remarkable for the good morals of its citizens. '* As we are determined to offer great inducements to persons at a distance, boarding is put down, in " the best families, to the moderate price of Six Dollars per month, including all expenses except lights. Conveyance, free of charge, will be in readiness at Book Hill, on the 31st of December, and the 2nd and 6th of January, I860, to take 8tudents to the School. While this School is not in the least sectarian. Students will be catechised and instructed in the Union Questions.
