TTip learn that VG« rnian boj, about
aiztcen years of «ge. named Foster, went
out to bunt cattle, starting from thvjgpgc
of hit father, who lives about .fifteen
miles from Fredericksburg. He - bad
proceeded not more tban a mile from tbo
house, when suddenly he saw six Indians
coming up the road before hiof^Tbe In
dians increased their speed on seeing
him and as be was mounted on a Spanish
pony, he had no means of escape. He
therefore pointed bis rifle at each one,
•s they eame close to him, and they stop-
ped to deliberate; and then they made
% circle and suriounded him. at equal
distance." from each other, and about
fifty yards from the boy, in the mean-
time shooting arrows at bina, which whis*
tied through the air, close to his bead.
The Indians got down from their horses
and were shooting at the boy from
under the horses.
Asa last resort the boy took aim at
the Indian nearest, and between him and
the house, fired, ana the hall went through
the torse and killed the Indian. The
rest of the Indians were so astonished'
at this event that their attention was
drawn from the boy, who took advantage
of their surprise, dropped his rifle, put
whip and spur to' his pony, and jiáde
his escape.
When 'he arrived at home, he related
the affair to bis father, and a party of
five or six started in pursuit, but when
they arrived at the place, the Indians
had go nc, taking with them the dead body
of their comrade, and the boy's rifle.—^

THS AKEBXCAU FLAT702UL
Philadelphia, Feb, 21.—The Nation-
al American Council passed this even
ing the platfoi m of principles pablisbed
on the 15th inst., in the Washington
Organ, as a substitute for the whole
platform established by the June Con-
vention. The vote stood yeas 108, nays
77. Various members from Ohio made
speeches on the subject, some declaring
that the platform was a death blow to
Americanism in Ohio, while others ex*
pressed themselves eontent, and defend-
ed Mr. Ford, of Ohio, from the charge
of Black Republicanism made by Mr.
Bennett, of New Tork.
The Council is still in session at ten
o'clock to-night, but will probably soon
adjourn sin* die.
The platform alluded to is as follows;
I. An humble acknowledgement to
tbe Supreme Being wbo rules the uni-
verse fo.* His protecting care, vouch-
safed to our fathers in their successful
revolutionary struggle, and hitherto
manifested to us, their descendants, in
the preservation of the liberties, the in -
dependence, and the union of tbese
Plates.
2 Tbe perpetaation of the Federal
Union as tbe palladium of our civil and
religious liberties, and the only sure
bulwark of American independence.
3. Americans must rule America; and
to this end native born citizens should
he selected for all State, federal and mu-
nicipal offices or government employ-
in preference to naturalized citi-
ocnyn preferet
sens„ nevertheless,
rersons born of American parents
residing temporarily abroad, should be
ovtitied to all the rights of native born
eitisens; but f
6. No person should be selected for
political station, (whether of native or
foreign birth,) who recognises any 8f-
giance or obligation of any description
to any foreign prince, potentate or pow-
or who refuses to recognise tbe Fede-
and State constitutions (each within
its sphere) as pat amount to all other
laws, sablee ofpeUtleal aetioa.
9. The unqualified recognition and
msiif insnrn of the reserved rights of
the Beveral States, and the cultivation
of harmony «nd fraternal good will be-
tween the eitiiens of the several States,
and to this end, non-interference by
solely to tie wdivwifl-fltwefr non-
intervention by each State with the *f-
fairs of any other State
7. The recognition of the right of the
ootive born end naturalised eitisens of
the United States, permanently residing
in any Territory thereof, to frame their
constitutions and taws, and to regulate
their domestic and social dffairs in their
own mode, subject only to the provi-
visions of th<- Federal Constitution, with
the right of admission into the Union
whenever Aey have the requisite popu-
lation for oae Representative in Con-
gress, Provided always, that none but
thoer who are eitisens of :the United
States, saérr She constitutions and laws
thereof, and who have A fixed residence
in any sneh Territory, ought to partici-
pate in the formation of the constitution,
or in the enactment of lew for said Ter-
ritory or State. ...
g An enforcement of the principle
that no Stat*** Twriloty tan admit
other than native born ciUsens to the
r.sbt of suffrage, or of holding political
office unta* such persons shall have
been naturalised according to the laws
of the United 8tates
9. A change in the laws of naturalisa-
ou making con tinned residence of
twenty one veers, of all not heretofore
provided for,'an indispensable requisite
for citnensftip hereafter, «nd excluding
all paupers, and perSonB eonvn ted of
erime, from lending upon our shores ;
hot no interference with the vested
rights of foreigners.
10. Opposition to any union between
Church and State; no interference with
■eligious faith or worship, and no test
oaths for <Jffiee, exeept those indicated
la the 9th section of this platform.
11. Free and thorough investigation
Into any end alleged abuses of public
fianetionariea, and a strict economy in
public expenditures.
12. Xhe Maintenance and enforcement
of el) lawn until said laws shall be |re-
pesJed, ox shall be declared null andvoid
by competent judicial authority.
12. Opposition to the reckless and
policy of the present administra-
tion . in the general management of our
affairs, sad more especially as
shown in removing • Americans," (by
designation) and conservatives is prin-
ciple, from office, and placing foreigners
and ultraistt^n their places; as shown
in h truckling subserviency to the strong-
er, and an insolent and cowardly brava-
do towards the weaker powers; as shown
in rc-opening sectional agitation, by the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise; as
sbown in granting to unnaturalised for-
eigners the right to suffrsge in Kansas
and Nebraska ; as shown in its vacilla-
ting course on the Kansas and Nebraska
Juestion; as shown in the removal of
udge Bronsoft from the Collectorship
of New York upon false and untenable
grounds; as shown in the corruptions
which pervade some of the departments
of tbe government; as shown in disgrac-
ing meritorious naval officers through
prejudice . or capriee; and as shown in
the blundering mismanagement of our
foreign relations.
14 Therefore, to remedy existing
evils, and prevent tbe disastrous conse-
quences otherw:se resulting therefrom,
we would build up tbe w American par-
ty" upon the principles herein before
stated, eschewing all sectional questions,
and untiring those purely national, and
admitting into said party all American
citizens, (referred to in the third, fourth
and fifth sections.) who openly avow the
principles and opinions heretofore ex-
pressed, and who will subscribe their
names to tbis platform. Provided
nevertheless, that a majority of those
members present at any meeting of a
local council where an applicant applies
for membership in the American party
mny, for any reason by them deemed
sufficient, deny admission to such ap
plicant.
15. A free and open discussion of all
political principles embraced in our plat
form.
Respectfully submitted.
JÜ3T Platform of the American Party
of the State of the Texas, adopted at Austin
on the 21st day of January, 1856.
PLATTOBM.
' The American Party of the State of Texas,
in Convention assembled, declare as the car-
« inal principle of its organization.—
I. The elevation to political offices, exe-
cutiv, legislative, judicial and diplomatic, of
those only who are native Americans' or
who being citizens of the Republic of Texas
at the time of its anexation to the United
States, made citizens thereof by the act of
both Governments.
II. The preservations and perpetuation of
the Constitution, and the Federal Union ad
the bulwark of our liberties in war—and a
prime source of national greatness and indi-
\ idua! happiness—and hence;" "**
It. Oso caption to all attempts to weaken
i destroy it.
2nd. Opposition to-tbe formation or en-
ouragement of seetH&al or geographical
arties—at this time "the most threatning
dversary to its stability.
III. A strict construction of the Consti-
tution of the United States, and the preser-
vation of all the rights of the States, secured
or reserved in the Constitution; inculcating
forbearance and a harmonizing spirit in set-
tleing apparent or real conflicts of jurisdic-
tion; and repudiating the exercise of doubt-
ful powers by the Federal Goverment.
~ IV. The extension of the period for the
naturalization of foreigners, to the term of
21 years' to be prospective in its operation,
and the repeal by the Legislatures of the
States, in which they exist, of all laws con-
firming tbe right of suffrage on unnatural-
ized foreigners:
V. Liberty of Concierne and Liberty of
the Press. The right to worstfip God" ac-
cording to the dictates of Conscience being
secured by the Constitution it, would strike
galveston.

the kind in the world. Rural Architecture torms
one of the principal features. Each number contains
from two to four engravings of model cottages, from

- - - - ' — " also assigned to the tasteful art of Landscape Garden-
" ;ns in every style, and
' different orders of ar-
the Territorial Legislature to establish or
exclude Slavery, we cordially approve the
principle of non-intervention by Congress.
Mid are apposed to the repeal of the act—and
oppose any further agitation of the subject
of slavery in the Halls of Congress.
VII. The enactment of laws to prevent
the transmission to our shores of Felons
and Paupers from foreign counties.
VIII. A constant and efficient protection
of the frontier against the predatory incur-
sions of the Indians, being an act of justice
due to the citizens ofthefrontier settled there-
on. and a measure of policy necessary to the
growth and prosperity of our State; it is the
duty of the General Government to provide
the same fully effectually, and promptly.
IX. We adhere the national organization
of the American Party upon the basis of the
Platform of Principles adopted %t the Phil-
adelphia Convention in June, 1855—recom-
mending the next National Convention to
modify the 8th article of said platform by
striking out the words "Resistcnce to the
aggressive policy and corrupting tendencies
of the Roman Catholic Church in our Country
"for the reason, that it has been so much
misconstrued as to cast upon us the impu-
tation of religious intolerance and a desire
to abridge the liberty of conscience, which
we utterly repudiate.
But while we disclaim any intention to
•bridge or impair, or interfere with the right
of afty citizen of whatever faith, or denom-
ination to worship God according to the dic-
tates of bis own concience. we claim the
right indispenciabte to the security of free
institutions, to resist and oppose through
ballot box. every principle or policy, wheth
er claimed or exercised, as aright appertain-
ing to any church government , or under pre-
tex of any religious belief, hostile to liberty
—or liberty of conscience or the liberty of
the press, or liberty of suffrage or to any
other essential clement.of Liberty under tbe
Constitution and Laws!

tions, passwords and signs are abolished.
