The Southern States \yo are glad to see thai the American rty hn-i a strong foothold in tin Southern ates generally, and that there is a fair pre*cfK* minority of them casting their electoralvotes for the American candidate for the . Presidency at the next election,if the National !> Convention which is to assemble to make the t nomination select a reliable national man for i (bat station. Much will depend upon the S action of that convnetion. The South cannot ? ? support any other than a Uinion man?a | man who will givo to every clauao of the Constitution its due weight; and it is pre sumed that the North will not favor the I nomination ol a man ot any otuer prmcipies. If, then, a sound American be recoinmended by the convention?a man who will J administer the government as it was admin- [ dstered under former administrations and not j upon sectional principles, thero can bo no: doubt of his el^enon by an overwhelming majority. That such a nomination will be made, we confidently believe. And why should it not be ? At tbo North as well as at the South, the great bedy of the people desire to have the Union perpetuated, and -will cheerfully unite with the South for that purpose. It is true, that most Northern citizens arc Freo Soilors; but we must be care-ful to draw the distinction between Free^Soilsm ; and Abolitionism. The Preo-Soiler contends only that slavery should not be established whero it docs not now exist ; but lie acknowledges the right of the ;pcople cf a territory to dispose of the question of slavery as they may thing proper, on forming a Sate Constitution. The abolitionist is in favor of compulsory emancipation in the free States; and would violate the Con stitution to attained his object. Members of the Amerriean party at the North are not Abolitionists, but Frec-Soilcrs; and would liavc been content to have the Fugitive Slave law enforced, had not the Missouri Compromise been repealed. The only material difference between them and members of the same party at the South, is in respect to that measure. They think that the compro mise should bo restored, whilst at the South it is thought to he better that things should stand n3 they are, though no benelit is expected to accrue to the South from the repeal of that measure. We know that the :J i i > 1 .i.?? is itieti u?w? uircu ciiiviiiuueu, mat. i\;ius?s may become a slave State; but a little reflection, wo think, will satisfy any man of the erroneousness of that opinion. The new territories nro settled in most part by foreign iiui- , migrants, and these are invariably opposed to the introduction of slavery ; and as; in the liberality of our national legislators, the right of voting in territories has been conceeded to foreigners, without waiting fur naturalization, we may be sure that slavery will nerer be allowed in a territory settled by this class of population. If, then, the members of tho American party North and South ngee upon "the great points of poliey to be adopted?if they .harmonize in the determination to support rthe Constitution and the Union in the proJposed change in the naturalization laws? i in placing the control on public atfairs in the "ihands of natives?and in other matters' ^considered requisite to carry out true Amer- i ican principles?why should a difference a-1 bout a matter w hieh is really of no practi- 1 cal importance to either section, prevent cor dial co-operation in the nomination and , support of an American candidate for tliej I'm-idencv ? Will they consent to sacrifice the permanent intcreslof the nation in a ji squable about a straw i IJoth sides profess to stand l?y the Union, and to cherish tlioi Oonstintion, and both will, we hope, stand j .firm in defence-of American rights. We are Southern in birth; Southern in interest; Southern in principle and feeling,' but we are national also, and prize the | Union altove all other consideralious. We regreet the indiscretion committed in the re-1 peal of the compromise; but to not see in that act any thing to justify a sectional war-' fare, much less a division in the ranks of, the American party. And such, wo believe,! to be the general feeling in the South. That great corruptions have crept into the administration of public affairs at Washington, is preemptible to every one ?and that the time has*arrived to substitute American ru-j lens for those who have been too much in- 1 tlueneed by the desire to win foreign np- , plause and support, we think, cannot, with 1, truth, be denied. Tne American people j' have undertaken to tuake this change, and t nothing is required to insure success but- 1 .harmony of action. That the whole Amor- t lean party, North, South, East and West, , wifl pull together in the great contest to ( take place next year for the Presidency, we will not permit bt#solvos to doubt. Every 1 indication at the South, shows that the A- ( tnericans are united and active - and the re-! t suits of the coming elections, will prohuhly j | show them to be successful. In Louisatla, j? the election of the American ticket is con-| sidered as certain?and so in all Southern ' States. In Maryland we shall not be stir- 1 prised at an amount of majority for the'A-j i . merican candidates. We see, then before [ , *?*, fair promises and bright prospects?and j ( would urge upon every member of tho Amorican order, a couiitinanco of zeal, activi- j ty and dilligence?that ho may assist in * achieving a glorious victory to tho Star' t Spangled Banner.?Baltimore Clipper. ? j The following is the official vote for Gov- ^ crnor of Virginia in all but six counties : | For Henry A.

Mr. Johnson has long and zealously discharged the duties of an editor, and in his retirement lie carries with him the attachment of many warm friends.

The affair took place near Paint Rock, on the Tennessee line. INFIDELITY vs. AMERICANISM. lr will be recollected that from limo to time wc have published from our own pen, and the pens of our correspondents, articles in regard to the increase and spread of infidelity in our country, and that it was mostly to be seen in the ranks of the German emigrants. We have fearlessly opposed the rapid and inconsiderate manner of making Anicrican citizens out of such material, believing that it will have the effect of lessening the restraints to which nil good and true citizens willingly subject themselves. This course, upon our part, has secured for us the displeasure of n few (and we are happy in eiying that the number is very few) of our foreign subscribers. They have bccomo so indignant as to declaro to us personally that :hey will not read a paper which is continually showing up the evil influences of foreign emigration and their infidelity. This hey have a perfect right to do; but iliey an never close our columns, by threatening :o withdraw their patronage, bo it ever so i argo, to the free discussion of such mutters, i l'he fact is just this?if those who sympathise with the class of believers wo have just mentioned, believe that they can intimidate . us by threats or bribe tis by support, they are < much mistaken.

But they have no right to demand a participation in the domestic management of the affairs of the country. It is an assumption to which tboy can never lay claim?it is to bo prevented.

Columbia, S, C., July 25, 1855. W. P. Price, Editor of iiie Enterprise. We plead guilty to the cliargo of neglecting our duty in not writing to you last week. Hut the weather was so warm, your corres noudent so lazy, and a stenta alter Oinuer so pleasant, that Tuesday afternoon and evening glided away almost imperceptibly. But at night, visions of the 4 Printers Devil,' appenred to us*, and he black and begrimed with ink, uttered direful iinprecatious upon us for not furnishing 4 copy.' Lest therefore, we should bo again visited by such a phantom ; and that our word rany bo kept once at lenat, wo ootid you this epistle. Ere it reaches you, we expect to be far from the city?inhaling the free, country, air ; gazing upon uature in her loveliness and spending pleasant hours in eating green apples. We expect to return home itnbuod with the spirit of romance, and warn you now to beivarft ftf nnv l-mnnntio ennl.li'irrnu'inn - J ? > verses which wo may foolishly perpetrate and ask you to publish to tho world. We know Miss. will laugh immoderately at the idea of your correspondent becoming romantic and poetical (and well sho may) but stranger events than that have hafPpciied. In the "South Carolinian" of Thursday last wo find the valedictory of its Editor, W. B. Johnston, Esq, who lias served the corps Editorial of South Carolina for many years. Mr. Johnston was an able, vigorous, and talented writer ; and though we could not always endorso his opinions and political views yet wo give him credit for defending them warmly and yet in a courteous, gentlemanly manner. He has our best wishes for his full success in whatever vocation ho may hereafter engage. An interesting and exciting trial of a negro woman for manslaughter was held on Saturday hist before a Court of Freeholders, Daniclli. Miller Esq,magistrate presiding. The prosecution contended that tho negro on trial acted as nurse to the deceased, a hi<zhlv respectable and worthy lady?during her last illness?that said negro bohaved bo impudently nnd impertinently as to excite the deceased in n considerable degree?and that such excitement produced fever which soon causod her death. The fact of the nurse's impudence and its effect on the doceased was clearly proven, and the only point in doubt was whether or not saiil effect on the deceased was sufficient to cause a rapid change from favorable to unfavorable symptoms as took place iu the deceased and which ultimately caused, as far as her physician could dctormine, her death. Many physicians were examined, and nfier nddrsses to the Jury by Hon. E. J. Arthur for the prosecution and Col Maxcy Gregg for defen Jant, the Jury retired. After a short absence they returned a verdict guilty of impudence, and the negro woman was sentenced to six months imprisonment and to receive seventy-five lashes.

Editor:?Will you indulge me in making a few enquiries to yourself and to tho public through your useful journal ? First, I choose to keep myself rather a listener or looker on in our political affairs, nnd yet profess to lovo my country and her institutions aa ardently as I am capablo of do ing. Let me inquire how it is that soiuo of our public men are so violent in their pliillipics against the Know Nothings, or tho American party, without giving them even the privilege of a hearing before they are condemned* In a portion of our country wbero I have resided there were men who held the opinion that all strangers should bo well treated so long as their demeanor was such as all approved, and even foreigners were not molested on arriving in our country, but there is now a party organized in our country who profess to bo friends to it, and who are all native born citizens of our country, and as far as appears, yet seem to be employed in a good work, so far as I can see,'the work they have undertaken. It appoars to me, Mr. Editor, that iC is no easy matter to induce thinking men to believe that our good old ship of state will be in more danger when put under the control and management of American citizens only than she now is, when every nation under the heavens has a chance to participate in the management of our affairs. Do gentlemen forget that our patriotic forefathers do vised the plan of our Government, and dc liberating on the defects of all oilier Go* J vernments, did they not devise a plan suited to the nature of man, and calculated to secure to all men who should live under our Government all the rights of man? Did not all politicians, reared under monarchical Governments, pronounce ours a daring experiment? and did they not predict its downfall on the supposition that man was incapable of self-government. Have these predictions Wen fulfilled ? On the contrary, has not the plan of the Government under which we live proved, on the experiment, to bo good, and are not the people attached to it, aud after the enjoyment of our liberties so long, shall we surrender them without astrugglo ? In short, can any enlightened man, any man of political knowledge worthy the character of a statesman, if he be honest, say he believes the American party would wish to do an act to injure the political fabric, so firmly fixed and so glorious in its operations as ours i is not tno experiment of a Govern- j nient liko ours sufficiently trietl to satisfy nny man whoso mind is open to conviction, ! that our Government is safe if kept in the' hands of American citizens ? Is not this an ago of improvement, and are not experiments the order of the day f air. Editor, can tho world afford an j example to eomparo with tho experiment made by those who devised the plan of tho* Government to be put in operation here on this American Continent. Ghorob Washington and his associates made the experiment. And did they recommend and adopt and put in operation this plan of deciding whether man was capable of selfgovcru' inent ? And did they do it rashly without mature deliberation f lias tho plan failed, as predicted by those who thought man incapablo of self-government. For whose benefit was this plan put in operation ? and who intArutArl in tliA I of those blessing* guaranteed to us by the framcra of our Constitution. Those are grave questions, and others follow, of equal importance, to those who ore now enjoying and who are expected to enjoy the blessings of the Government under whichJWftiive. If fears for the safety of our ii^iirigfone.gre to arise in the minds of tho pufiifcfwbwts of our country, that storms may at ise, that H? may beset aMMMrqkJatfkt direction shall wo look foS^HpimSMm* ? ry&"' img , m. urnj. - ,jj|P> jit nogpa duty to look to the' right and to the left, to the North and 4to the Sh, to thfrEast and to tlio W^et, and to Id all points to qee if any dangers ap and approach, nnd to guard the whole ma^pr from the infections that might taint or tarnish any portion of our political fabric ? ?* It appears to my mind, Mr. Editor, that the ship of state n^eds an examination, aud if it requires examining, who shall examine it f Shall wo select a committee of foreign J era to ovorhaul our affairs? Our success ! depends on the capacity of tho pcoplo to govern themselves. Have the people governed themselves ? And are they to continue to govern themselves^? Who, then, are the people ? Did not the people elect George Washington to preside over tho nation ? Did they not elc^t Mr. Adams, Jefferson, and all others who have govorned and guided tho great ship of state for us, | both Senators and Representatives, and all | civil and military officers. If. our political | institutions have prospered through the darkest days nud years of our history, is she not able to keep on her courso of prosperity ? If not, why is she not able ? Jur. Editor, the writer of this has heretofore associated himself with men who have believed with the firmest of faith that all our greatness is not necessarily in Congress, or in the minds of those exclusively whoso sayings and doings aro most sounded through the world, but that many unambitious and learned men are in retirement, and as much real greatness exists where no one in his rage j for audienco, as a candidate for office can have, and where rests or resides tho stamina and .true light, or at least a goodly portion of it, which makes us and keeps us what we aro. This class of men do not seek office. Those truly great men of our countr}' reason differently from such men as those who make the most noise, that others may know i uud seo where they aro and wkcro they I move. Is it, then, true, that tho people of this great Kcpublic aro to look to those, and to those only, who arc most conspicuous in Congress, or in any of our public assemblies or offices, for aid in all times of need. God | mndo our country, and tho mountains and ; the valleys and the rivers and lakes and ! seas arc all llis. Wc arc life tenants only, and must occupy and servo out our pilgrimage, and retire and give place to others to do the same. liut should we not rejoice that we are free, that each is his own L-in? w rn? ?"5* w ,WI j as all mnndano matters concern us, and that I we bow the knee to but one King, and that King is eternal aud invisible, and is the same who made the country we occupy. But my dear Mr. Editor, let mo ask a few more questions, and m?y I crave an answer to these questions ? Is it justifiable, or would ' it be justifiable in mc to condemn the course and conduct of any man who professes to be occupied in the discharge of his duty as n neighbor, a ci'izcn and a patriot, simply because I think he does not think as I do. If, in the sincerity of his heart he believes lie can assist in tho common cause, shall I forbid him to make a trial 1 It seems quite na- j . tural for a man who has elevated himself by a certain political course to regret a change,' : if that change is likely to interfere with his ( field of operations, even were tho change for the better. Have not tho people been too much controlled by what we stylo strong wanting ? Would not much time bo saved j and would not much more satisfaction be | taken by the people, if they were possessed j j within their own minds with the means of I judging who aro best fitted to serve them as : law makers, and dispensers of tlio laws. And wo will not descend to the inquiry now whether the peoplo can be so informed, for now no man of good common sense domes the propriety of educating the common people. But another question. Do not our great men who denounce the American party without restraint, see that their coarse is directly calculated to arouse n spirit of inquiry with the people, to know who, and what, and where, these Know Nothings, or Ameiican party, arc. Is ijet this quit* natural ? And finally, will any man in all our bor- j dcrs be good enough to inform me and all my friends, and all the friends of our institutions, how it is, if it be so, that an Atneri- j can citizen, who has always been a staunch Democrat, cannot aid and vote with, and in fact entirely coincide with the American par ty in principle, and not surrender one parti-1 cle of his democracy ? Does the American party assail the principles of democracy ? Does it attempt to run counter in anything to the Constitution of our country ! Then why call them so many hard names, and even accuse them of treason, and at thp same timo in the same communication, *ek now-1 ledge you know nothing or v?y little about them. Will not tho people bo tbo judges I in these matters t But still a few more questions. If we wish to prevent tho spread of Know Notliingism, or the principles of the Amerioan sporty, shall we expoct to effect their WW* throw by preferring charges against them | which they by their acts and doings will at * * 4 once atow to people to be false t How cau gentlemen claim to be consistent and recommend courtesy to foreigners, and censure and condemnation to native citizens V jfceware, yo detractors, that you do not elevate the men you are striving to depiititik.. LEOPARD. * r An Avalakci!k or l3ipcAi>.?The Allanta (Ga.) Intelligencer, states that on Thurs- t pay there were one hundred cars loaded wWr wheat at Chattanooga, ready to move, ind jfc UyfiN^ot crammed to its utmost tapacity,^^ RFSb trains a day arrive lit Cattanooga, Irr the Nashville road, and.'H-.^as estimated o*? Thurday that there were stored in that town . 30,000 bushels of wheat cxclusivo of that in^ store by our road. From Chattanooga down to Etowah, the depots are full to bursting. On the 0th, there were reoeived at Calhoun, 2000 bushels, and the hands could not knock off their loading till II o'clock at night. Major Young, the Agorft of Calhonn, thinks that from his depot uIoqo, he will ship 100,000 bushels during the sen-, son, To-day, five full trains will be downr and suppose each car will contained 130? sacks. The rush of this description of freight hasbeen unprecedcnt, caused, as we learn,by ther offers of New York millers to give $1.20, for all wheat delivored nt depot by the 10th, and at Charleston and Savannah the 15th of this month. The Next Session, of CongressThe Charleston JSvetiing Newt, referring to the next Congress and tlie business which wifl secure its attention, remarks : 4 The lending question will be- the repeal of tho Nebraska law, and the restoration of the Missouri restriction. In connection therewith will bo proposed a universal "Wilraot Proviso interdiction of any more slave States. Aino, a law to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia. These measuros may pass tho*House, but probably be defeated by the Sen- ' ate. But will a restriction upon slavery in Kansas be defeated ? Here wilt be a fearful strugglo and doubtful issuo. The thrones of disunion may be felt to the very centre of the Government. Is there, can there be, a party in the Southwbich will not 1 be ready ? will not prepare for what I ever the emergency may require I Tlia i American party of the fifteen So thorn States ure fast marshalling their forces to protect their rights and preserve the Constitution.? Tho Democratic party of those Slates (suclv portion as may chose to organize separately from their Americanbrethern) are also making ready for the exigency. We belong to, both. They together wilt constitute the party of the South in momentous sectional issues. Let nono be deceived or bewildered ! on these matters the South must and wilt be a unit.' lu view of thin state of things, the Democratic party are forewarned not to produce bitlernessjmd estrangement between themselves and the American Party. If the former will not act w ith the latter as one party, under one banner, they should be careful and avoid all bitterness and denunciation calculated to thwart unity of sentiment and action upon the main question. We endorse the remarks of the New?Y land call upon every Southern man to mark well his footsteps and be cautious. ? A Pectin ex Question.?A correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel propouuds the interrogatory contained in the annexed extract: Mr. Editor : I desire, through the medium of your paper, to ask the following question of any one who may posaeaa the | information : Has any Catholic Priest who 1 has come to this country from a foreign land, ever been known to take the oath of [allegiance?

We must' ncknowledfire that we are some I what anxious to read the reajmnse to the ; above, If a Priest from a foreign country* but now a resident of the United States* has not taken the oath of allegiance he ought not to be allowed to vote.
