THE BUFFALO PLATFORM.

Will be found in another part of to-
days paper. 1t will be perceived that
nothing is said in it about the power, or
duty of Congress to abolish slavery in
the District Of Columbia.
We thought this was one of the funda-
mental articles in the liberty party creed.
SO it appears they have to succumb and
play the second fiddle in this new drama.
Their own Presidential candidates are
displaced and new ones brought on the
track who are Of recent birth, and are
yet unfedged.
If we understand the principles of the
Liberty Party they are these: That Con-
gress has the power and ought to abolish
slavery in the District Of Columbia That
il ought to prohibit the interstate slave
trade; and that all legal distinctions, and
laws comforting privileges and franchises
upon one class of society to the exclusion
Of another are unjust and ought to be
repealed. None Of these are set forth in
the platform Will the Liberty Party a.
bandon its principles as well as its candi-
dates.

ana Courier, That George Evans obtained
his election TO the Senate by fraud and
deception, lin representing by himself and

his standing in the Church for the evil

To the Democrats he pointed to his vote
in favor Of james Whitconb for Governor.
After all this B, fearful lest he should fail in
his election. he writes letter to the DEM

them that he was for Gen. Cass for Presi-
dent-tliat he was in favor Of the annex

ing the area of FREEDOM by spreading

Mr.. Evans, objects to the charges, but

that the friends of Mr. Evans shall have

editor offers TO publish the letter. with such

nature, until he is tired of the natter
This is a fair and honorable proposition.
and if Mr.. Evans has pursued straight
