THE NOMINATION AND THE PLATFORM.

But there is one consideration in this whole
matter which we have not yet noticed. How
stand these candidates on the slavery question
and what Platform did the Baltimore Conven-
ton adopt? OF Mr. King there is no doubt
He is ultra and rabidly pro-slavcry, and talks
of abotionists AZ if they were only fit. for the
halter MIR Perce's position IL not ~ wei 81
known = SCOT, of Virginia, wrote to all
! Chose who would probably be candidates be-
| fore the Baltimore Convention, MIR. Pierce
among the rest, asking their opinions of the
| Compromise measures and the Fugitive Slave
Law. All but Mr. Pierce and Mr.. Butler, who
did not reply at all, answered in as abiect a
manner az slavery could ask There isno doubt,
however, that Mr. Pierce is in favor of the Com
promise but whether he believes it necessary
to the salvation of the Union that Northern
freemen should be made slaye-catchcrs by law,
we do not know We do not believe, however,
that an consistent Free-Soler can vote for
him.
The Platform adopted at Baltimore will be
found in our columns. Of that part which does
not touch the slavery question we have moth
ing to say. We believe it is the old Democrat
ic Platform up to, and including No. 10; but
the next two resolutions contain n new kind of
DemOcrucy, WHICH WIS neVcT tHOuBHI vi Iill III
was found necessary to make the Democratic
party slave-catching party, in order to con-
ciliate the South But the man who from his
heart subscribes to the doctrines of those two
resolutions can be neither q true Democrat nor
a Christian. What Democrat chasing one
of his brethren of the human family through
the world, catching him and delivering him
over to eternal bondage! The very idea is a
Dissertation Of the whole temple of Democracy.
And as for a Christian who will help to chain
Gods image, and deliver it to stripes and death,
we pity his poor soul The Devil will sooner
be an angel of light than the one can be a true
Democrat or the other a real Christian. We
abomnatc the sentiments of these resolutions
and we can hardly prevent part oil our feel
ings of loathing from sticking to those who
passed them. They ought to sink any party
| that takes them aboard. One Buffalo Plat
| form is worth a thousand such for in it God it
not made liar and man a wretch. But the
signs of the times are that Truth " must be
crushed to earth" little longer-Humani-
ty must suffer On-but sure as there is just
Ruler of the universe, so sure the time will
come when these refugees of lies will be swept
away and Humanity will arise from the cor
ruption and bondage which has so long chain
ed it to oppression and misery. When that
time comes, it is possible that parties will act
for principles and not for spoils

this time Ed.. Err.

She was seeking with prayers and tears
The land that her faith had visioned

Her feet had so patiently trod,

Still nearer the City Of God.
At length on the top Of the mountain

TUNE" Where Can tie Soul Find Rest1"
Tell nc. thou northern wind that cools nv
fcvcrcl blood,
Dost thou not know some spot sacred to Free
doms God,
Some dark and lonesome dell, some cavc or
mountain breast,
Where free from CALLING chains, the weary slave
may rest'
The north wind dwindlcd to a whisper low,
And moancd in sadness as it answered, No
Yc mighty oecanstcll, whose waves around me
roar,
Know yc some favored spot upon Columbia's
shore,
Where pinng captiyes find the bliss Of which
they dream,
Where Slavery dare not come and Freedom
rcgns supreme;
The far Pacific paused not in its flow,
But echoed back tho near Atlantics No
Tell me, ye bcautcous stars that shine with
steadfast light,
Creations brightest gems upon the brow of
night,
Oh, see yc not within my countrys bound,
some spot
Where Slavcry's blighting hand her curses
scatter not;
And from the stars a voice distinct and low,
In soft and saddonod tone responded, No
Tell me, my longing soul, oh tell me Truth
and Right,
Is there no day of joy to follow slavcrys
night;
Is there no future hour when sin and wrong
shall cease.
And all Gods children live in brotherhood and
pcacoi
Truth, Right, and Love, mans angel helpers
given
Whispered, be strong, toll on, and trust in
heaven. b. S. ].

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
The Southern Union Men and The Democracy.

Tho Journal and Messenger Of Georgia,
which, in its effort to persuade the Union men
to send delegates to the Democratic Convention
at Baltimore, is warmly supported by the Wash
ington Union, has long been, says the Southern
Press, the "most ultra Wing paper in the State
Of Georgia." under the control Of ON emigrant
from Pennsylvania, in tho interest of Mcssrs.
Toombs and Stephens. The article quoted by
the Union from its columns was, as We learn
from tho Press, only part of an article. Tho
closing portion, in which the States Rights men
of the South were bitterly denounced, and tho
Union Party called upon to rally at the Demo-
cratic Convention, for tho purpose of controlling
it, and defeating the radical Democrats Of the
North, together with the States Rights Demo-
crats Of the South, was entirely omitted A
part of the omitted paragraphs will show tho
reason of the omission.
"Thcrc is at this moment q most singular
coalition formed between tho Aboitionists and
Disunionists to control that Convention. No
sensible man can close his eyes 70 the fact. Van
Burcn, Blair, Benton, and their Free Soil cood-
tutors, are marshallng their forces at the North.
Rhott, Commander, Mcdonald, and Quitman,
arc gathering together the scattered members of
the coffin regiments at the South. These mon,
defeated in their late reasonable schemes, arc
now about to combine for the purpose of sub
sidizing and controlling the National Dcmocra-
cy. They rN accomplish their purpose, too, nm
less defeated by prompt movement on the part
of the Union men of the South. Here in oul
very midst they are changing their names, re.
pudiating their principles, and preparing to as
sociatc with what, a few months since, they
termed 'Me radicai, rotten Democracy Of tn
NoHiF Open Dsunionists, who denounced

to admit them into their family circles--arc now

! 1t would seem, then, that the Washington
Union is dcsirous that tho coalition Wings and
Democrats of the South should send full del
cgation to tho National Democratic Convention
to oycrwhelm the radical Democracy of thu
North and tho States Rights Dcnocracy Of thC
i South. - Nat Ira.

Methodist Church.

Nothing can well exceed the crafty fase-
hood with which the Methodist Church in
AntiSnvery localities attempts to assert her
disconucrtion with slavery. There is this
difference between the brethren North and
South. The former wish to retain their
cheat the Northern people, by pretending to
he separate. While the latter really desire
separation, but are compelled to acknowl-
edge the Union. Measures have, however
now commenced ia Virginia, looking to a
separation ofthu churches in that State from

II would avoid the chances of imposing
