Sound Democratic Principles.

Itis q great fashion these days to talk a.
bout the platform upon which political
parties organize themselves; and WHENEVER
q new sect chooses TO start, Il builds up a
new platform" upon which to raise the fab
ric which soon topples over and becomes
lost to the earth" The principles Of Dem
ocracy in contradiction 10 all others, are en-
during, because thsy Ate pure, and have
their foundation on patriotism and regard
for the rights Of the people
We were forcibly struck few days since,
by the simple yetnOble and comprehensive
sentiments of the ground work of the ''Dem-
ocratic PLATFORM" as expressed in the pro-
ceedings of a public meeting recently held
in the State of Indiana, that we cannot re-
frain from extracting the resolutions, declar-
ing at the same time, our firm conviction,
that the prevalence ofsuch views, and such
only, can secure the welfare of the people,
and maintain the permanency and integrity
Of our country. We wish our readers to
read them carefully and study them wen,
i for they are the principles whichshOuld gov
eFn every democrat;--
Resolved, That while we have no Objec-
tons to an appropriation by Congress, fol
the improvement of the western rivers and
harbors of a strictly national character, that
we earnestly depricate any extensive inter
nal improvement by the General Govern
ment, upon legislative, logrolling princi-
pie, which would inevitably lead 10 an un-
constitutional squandering of money, dis
reputable strife between the differentsccti
of the country for the public moneys, and ul-
itimately bankrupt the Treasury of the ma
ton.
Resolved, That whatever may be the O
pinion of individuals as to the wisdom or the
details of the Fugitive Slave Law, it is the
duty of all good citizens to conform to its
acquisitions, and carry out in good faith the
condition of that compromise on domestic
slavery, which is co-eval with the Federal
Government
Resolved, That we fully recognize as the
fixed and unalterable creed of the Democrat
| ic party of the Union these great princi-
lples.
A strict construction of the Constitution.
| Opposition to National Bank;
| Opposition to protective Tariff;
The restriction of all appropriation for
Rivers and Harbors, to works OF National
Character
No assumption of the State debts;
Economy in the public expenditures;
Acquiescence in the will of the majority
Non-interference with the subject of slave
ry within the States.
And that with these time honored primer
pies emblaxoned upon our banner, we are
ready, now and ever, to give battle to the
enemy, whatever disguise he may assume.
Resolved, That every friend of the Union
should depricate the efforts, whether made
by Northern Abolitionists or Secessionists,
tending towards dissolution Of this glorl-
Gus Union. And as Democrats we are IN
favor of
ga Union of hearts, and Union of hands,
A Union of principles none can sever,
A Union of lakes and Union of lands,
The American Onion forever"

The wheat Crop.

The Belmont Chronicle says that the
wheat cropiin that county is equal to any
raised for the last ten years-both as respects
quantity aud quality, The harvest has cem-
Snenced, and should the weather be favor
able, Belmont.county viii have large sur
plus. Other crops locks well.
In Harrison county, tire crops are said to
he excellcas, and we hear no complaint a
snoAgst our farmers-all seem satisfied with
che, prospect of their different crops of wheat,
corn, oats, hay, &c.

Fourth Of July in Columbus.

Yesterday was great day in our city
The weather WAS delightfa, much cooler
than is usual at this season Early in the
morning the people from all the country
round about began to pour into the city, and
broad streets and pavemcnts were literally
thronged, as we never saw them before.
AT one O'Clock the mass began to move
towards the grounds prepared by Mr.. Kin
.ney, for the balloon ascension, and by two,
there were in and aroNHd the enclosure not
less than twenty five thousand perstsas. The
enclosure was we'll filled, and the exercises
therein were Of great interest. The huge
balloon of Mr. Wise was gradually inflated
with gas, in the presence Of the spectators.
"a band of music was in attendance, and to
keep up the novelty, the famous Kunkie band
Of Minstrels were employed to give one of
their laugable performances, on a stage erect
ed in the centre Of the grounds.
Three o'clock arrived, and the balloon
being duly inflated, the intrepid eronaut,
having prepared all the necessary means,
stepped into his car, gaily decked with ban
ners, and at given signal severed its con-
nection with mother Earth, and rose into the
air. The ascension was most magnificent.
The wind was light, and for some distance
the course was almost directly upward. AS
soon as he started he raised his hat, and
swinging it in mid air, gave load harra,
which was responded to by the immense au-
dience, in loud peals, for some time. Mr..
Wise, when his voice failed to reach us, wa
we'd the star-spangled banner most gallantly,
which was answered by new peals of hearty
applause. He sailed off in southern di-
rection, and rose to an immense height He
gradually passed beyond the view to the
south, and landed about six miles from his
starting place, safe and sound. He returned
to the city before night, highly pleased with
the trip.
Everything about this exploit and public
Entertainment was got up in the best style
and nothing has happened to mar the unal
Iloyed pie asure Of the splendid exhibition
Too much praise cannot be given to Mr.. Kin
lney and Mr.. Wise, for their services in cater
ling to the public taste in this most interest
ling and beautiful exhibition. This splendit
land brilliant ascent win add another feathe

Harvest.

The Cincinnati Commercial says that the
Farmers are now securing their crops in
this section ofthc country, and more south
crn latitudes the wheat andrye have already
been housed. There have been but few
complaints in our exchange papers of pros
pect Of short crop, and these were from
papers published in the northern part of IL
linoise and in Wisconsin. while from all other
parts of the grain growing region ofthe u
Mon the wheat crop has been represented as
good. When We reflect that there always
has been an outcry about short crop when
there was any grounds for it, we are led to
believe that the present wheat crop Of the
United States, if all is secured in good order
will be the largest ever produced, The
good effects resulting from an abundant har-
vest are many, but we fear they french,prop.
erly appreciated by all. 1t is true that plen-
tiful harvest reduces the price Of grain, but
the labor of tilling the soil is only the same
RS when the crop is short, consequently the
increased quantity enables the farmer to sell
at profit at alower price than il his cropha
been short. When the crop is short it is en-
tirely consumed in the country, or nearly SO,
hut when abundant there is large surplus
for export, which brings to the country a
great deal Of money, or its equivalent in
trade. Although the price may be low here
yet in transporting it to foreign countries
large numbers Of men find profitable employ
Eaent, and business is rendered active in ev-
cry department. But there is another i'm
portant view Of this subject: the reduction Of
the price of food enables men to live cheap
er, or enjoy the comforts Of live in greater
abundance than whenit is high. The wheat
crop, altough most important one, is in this
country, in the aggregate, ofless money val
ue in the market than the corn. The pros.
pect of this crop is now fair; altough the
lSpring has been cold, yet there has been an
abundance of rain; the earth is now al
most saturated with moisture, and the pre-.
sent warm weather will force it forward rap
idly, and the ears will be formed almos
without rain. At present the prospect Of
corn crop is shighly fattering, although
may fail in caring. Should this crop b

"No party measure" /"

Under the above head, the Trumball Dem
ocrat makes the following timely remarks
They suit other regions quite aswell as War.
pn. The New Constitution was truly not
Intended to be 'party measure, but the
wings thought proper to make it SO, and
now they must stand by their folly and take
its consequences Here in Cadiz, some two
or three wings who voted for its adoption,
were deneanoed with great bitterness as if
they had committed an objectionable politi-
cal crime. The Democrat says;
'sAlready do we hear Wings who were
bitter IN their opposition to the New Consti-
tuition, and who did all in their power to de-
festat say that "it was no party measure" !"
No thanks to You gentlemen. You did what
you could to make it a party question, and
because Wings and Free Soilers voted for it,
it shows that such miserable contracted views
as you were actuated by could not induce
them TO pursue course at variance with en-.
lightened reason, and nothing more. The
Wig and Chronicle never fought question
harder than they did the new adoption
Every Wing paper in the State with the ex
ception Of three. did what they could agains
its adoption. The Wing Central COMMITTEES
at Colnnalms flooded the State with circular
designed 10 iaduce the Wings tovote agains
liz. You made no party question Of 1t eh
You fnd you did very unjust, and, at thu
same tipe. a very unpopular thing; but sucl
shallow trickery willno serve 10 divert pub
lc attention from yonr true position. Go to
and become honest !"

Markee Acquitted.

Atthe late term Of the Conrt of Common
Pleas of this county, Daniel Markee, who
was charged with killing DANES Myres some
time since was honorably acquitted. We
suppose this was right, and all will BE- salts
aied. witheat it is those, whe, like our neigh
bor over the way, were SO anxious to have
s'fhe perpetrator of this bloody outrage
brought 10 justice, as he was pleased to
1erm Markee.

The Beauty Of whiggery.

VIM. f. Johnston, the famous whig Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, and who has been
lately rcnominated for the same Office, re-
fused to sign the law passed by the Legisfa-
ture, repeating an old law, and allowing the
use of the jails Of that State for the deten-
tion of Fugitive slaves, This has created
quite stir among the southern editors, but
Prentice Of the Louisville Journal, lies out
of the bad box by calling Johnston 'locofo-
col! What an excuse!
This pOcketing and practically vctoing 9
bin fairly passed by both branches Of the
Legislature, shows who opposes the execa
ton Of the fugitive slave law, and who use'
the one man power.

the character of an humble and devoted fol-
lower Of Christ Her walk and conversation
gave evidence that she had been with Jesus,
and that she delighted in his commands and
worship-"By their fruits We shall know

Mrs, UmstOt sustained an unblemlshed
in all the relations OF life; ever

was respected and beloved by all who knew
her, naturally modest and retiring, her NOR

appreciated by those with whom she was
more intimately acquainted, and it was EN-
true that those who knew her best,
