Caledonia County,

Since the North Star has said, in reply to our
late structures on its course in relation TO the
Free Democratic Convention at DanVille, &C.,
that we know nothing of the matter on which we
spoke, more than the man in the moon, we have
concluded to give the editor, this week, the sto-
Ires of men from his own County, who know all
about these matters, including the Star in the
bargain, and who, we apprchend cannot be very
easily impeached
1t is, as we have before intmated, impossible
for US to 90 into these defensive County move
ments going on among the friends of Freedom
in different parts Of the State, to prevent being
transferred over to the Baltimore nominees, SO
far as we know many of our patrons desire; but
Caledonia County presenting the strongest case
of the kind in the State, and therefore the best
for exemphfying the noble principle involved,
and the movers being now left, by the apostacy
of the Star, without any kind of an organ, we
have believed that it might not be Improbable
to the public, while 1t was an act of justice to
them, to give them full hearing in our col
umns and we invite the attention OF the whole
State to the history of the bold attempt made in
that County to betray the cause of Freedom and
true Democracy to the Gods of Baltimore and
old Federalism revived in their political man
! dates.

The Pittsburg Convention---its
Platform and Nominees.

We have at length the qualification of laying
before the readers of the Freeman the dongs of
the Prtsburg Convention; and that qualification
is all the greater from our entire confidence that
they will be received with one universal acclaim
of appreciation by the friends of Freedom
throughout the whole length and breadth of the
land.
"Principles not men," used to be the old
Democratic doctrine-but men and not prnci-
Piles seems to be. this year, the accepted doc
trine among the old parties, who are driven to
the miserable resort of setting aside principles,
and reying on men, and on men too who are
nothing more than political reeds at the best.
But the Plttsburg Convention has given us both
The principles and men of our choice-prnci-
pies as broad and deep as the foundations of our
Republic, and men who have both the ability
and courage requisite, even in these times of
national corruption, to defend, maintain and
carry those principles into practical operation.
Since the promugaton Of the Declaration of
Independence, no document has emanated from
any National Convention, so worthy of place
by the side Of that immortal instrument, as the
Platform, or declaration Of principles, which has
now been given to the American people by the
able and interrupted assemblage Of Pntsburg.
Purely Democratic, broad, elevated, NATIONAL in
harmony with all our free Institutions, and shad-
owing forth the most wise and enlightened
policy, it constitutes a platform on which
we can stand and hold up our heads like men
and freemen. And we cannot but believe that
when it is seen, read and compared with the
narrow, sectional, uldemocratic, and absolutely
disgracetul platforms OF the two old parties, il
will 30 commend itself to the honest masses Of
the country, that there will everywhere be @
mighty rallyng to its support, in the support O
those truly honest and efficient candidates who
have been selected to become its opponents ir
the approaching Presidential Campaign.
Of the candidates little need be said. The
name of John P. Hale, who is now everywhere
conceded, even in the South, where he IS fal
more respected than Daniel Webster, to be one
OF the abIest statesmen in America, is 6. house
hold word wherever the principles of freedom
are known and appreciated.
Mr.. Julian, the late able member of Congress
from Indiana, whose fearless and searching ex
positions oflhe enormities of the Fugitive Slave
Law have been published in the Freeman wihr
the last year, is man of fine talents, practica
knowledge, ardent piety, and of an inestimable
private character, and everyway qualified for the
post for which he has been nominated.
With such platform, then, as the chart Of
our faith and guidance, and with such cahdi.
dates for our standard bearers, in the approach
ing contest, who should not feel proud to be
found in the ranks of those who do battle for
freedom?

A TRIBUTE FROM OUR OpPoNENTs.-The n.
Y Times, candid Wing paper, besows the
following deserved tribute on the candidate of
the Pittsburg Convention:
The candidate Of the Convention b,s elements
OF strength aside from the principles he repre.
SCENTS Few men in The country have ever sus.
tanned themselves so well, against circumstances
so adverse, as Senator Hale has done for the last
SIX years. Faithful always 10 the doctrines and
the repugnances he cpresents-yielding nothing
to menaces or exaggerated preteusion, and meet
ing hostility with ready resources lie has dis.
armed hatred by uniform self respect, and ap-
peosea even Pro-siaVery rancor by the display of
constant and self.possessed good temper
Such praise wrung from our political oppo.
ncnts speaks volumes for the wisdom of the Sc.
lection of our candidate.
