MASSACHUSETTS DEMocRAcY--The Boston
Post is trying 20 rally the Democracy of Mas
sachusetts upon the old, tried platform Of former
years. II says
We adopt no new issue, and require no new
test. We stand upon the Baltimore platform
rs it has been affirmed and re-affirmed in every
national convention since 1886, when abolitionsm
first took party form, and threatened the per-
petuity of the Union. That declaration Of prin-
ciple is in these plain words, and the opinion OF
every delegate chosen TO the August convention
ought to be known, whether he will stand by or
repudiate this national platform -
" Resolred, Tint all reports of The Abolitionists
or others, made 10 indnce Congress 10 interfere
10Th questions of siapery, or 10 take incipient
steps IN relation thereto are calculated 10 lead 10
The most alarming consequences and that all
such reports haze an inepitable tendency 10 endan
ger the stability and permanently of The Union,
and ought not 10 be countendnced By any friend
Of our political institutions"
We put this significant declaration in italics
that it may be read and re.read by every Demo.
crat was framed as If 20 meet the vcsy
crisis sJN has arisen, and like the Constitution
which has been found adequate to meet all ex
/ igencies, It covers, on this subject, the whole
ground of the past, the present and the future
Ii says distinctly as if it named the very acts
that all attempts TO be made to induce Congress
to interfere with The questions Of slavery, as now
settled and adjusted by the compromises, will
have an inevitable tendency to endanger the sta
blty and pernaneney Of the Union, and ough,
not to be countenanced by any friend Of our
/ political institutions,
The democracy, therefore, when in conven-
ton assembled, cannot be true TO themselves
unless they are true TO this declaration and
ready TO re.affirm 1t, with a firm determination
to stand by the laws, the Union, and the pledges
Of our fathers, who made that Union in The
spirit Of the compromises, and enacted under il
the Law Of 1893. The conclusion then il newt
able, and those who mean to stand by the
Baltimore platform and support the nominees
on that platform, must acquiesce in and stand
by the compromises, and cease an agitation that
endanPers the Union. The Importance OF car.
rying these principles into the election Of dele
gates to the August convention cannot be toe
highly appreciated at the present time. tn,
iohole country expects The Massachusetts de-
mocracy 20 do their duty. We have never disap
pointed that just expectation in any Of our Stat,
conventions heretofore, and we have great con
fdence that we shall not do so now in the mos
important crisis that has arisen since the nationa
conven ion Of 1886.

last week at the Department Of State, between
Sir Henry Bulwer, the British minister, Mr..
Maroleta, minister from Nicaragua, and Mr..

can learn, after the full communication Of opin-

is reason to suppose that no further proceeding,

ATTEMPT AT LYNCH LAW IN CINcINNATI-A
Great Outrdge.--A few days since Mr. War,
rem, of Memphis, Tenn, having in his company
a male slave, whom he had raised from child
hood, arrived in this city. and stopped at the
Dennison House. The slave is a large, fine
looking man, well dressed, and, we are informed,
enjoys perfect freedom at home, where he con-
ducts a large barber shop
Last evening he, with an old acquaintance.
visited the Dumas House. hotel for eolored
people, on McAllister street, between Fourth

before he was Invited To room in the upper
part Of the building. Not suspecting anything
wrong, he went up stairs. He was taken into

of being a" Southern spy and that the boarders
about the house had appointed jury TO investi.

guards stationed on the outside 10 prevent inter.

their way TO the room, but were there resisted,
and not allowed 10 enter. Most Of the persons
abort the holse were armed with pistols, and
were loud in their threats. THE committee not
being able to sustain their charge. they volun.

doubt from all we can learn Of the affair, that
foul play was intended the slave, and If wo are

in our own days the same cold-blooded cruel
ties are perpetrpted, and the same recklessness

which men have for mere rank and power, that
they would fain shut their eyes to the mon
strosties committed. There is so much Of short
sightedness in the acts Of the present European
governments, standing as they all do upon a
volcano, that to an honest observer they must
appear unaccountabe. There is, however, no.
thing very strange or incredible in it, when We
reflect on the nature of the passions which hold
their sway over rank and caste. Educated in
pride, supposing themselves the representatives
of divinity, although perpetrating every cruelty
and injustice, the maintenance of law and au-
thority backed by personal interest, and the
undying hatred of offended vanity, deranges
common sense and common feeling, and stamps
whole classes with moral insanity that no rea-
