Extract Of letter to the editor Of the Daily
American Telegraph, dated
PORTSMOUTH, Va, July Q, 1852.
Everything goes bravely on here, Al en-,
brace the nominations with spirit and confidence
and many Of US believe that, with proper effort,
the Old Dominion herself may be carried for
Winfield Scott
The secession Of Toombs, Stephens & Co. is
looked on here with pleasure rather than other
wise, and all are satisfied that no material injury
can result to the Wing party from their dsaffecton
The only sorrow / have heard expressed in rea.
ton to their position is, that they did not come
out openly and aUowedly for the Democratic nomi
noe. Yours, with esteem.

Dificulty between MIR. Barney and ths
French Minister.

We have received from the Hon, JOHN BARNEY
another communication upon this subject, the
publication of which we waive, at least for the
present. We do so because it involves a contro'
yersy of delicate and unpleasant character IL
the midst of circle of gentlemen hitherto good
friends, and whose reputation for truth and honor
forbids the thought of the possibility Of inten-
tional Misrepresentation on either side. Though
rs publishers our agency in these matters is
usually only of a passive kind, we yet cannot di-
vest ourselves of a conscious responsibility; and
it is sometimes our privilege by delay to assuage
the feelings Of an excited correspondent, and
thus to pour oil upon the troubled waters When
we fail in this we have our motive for our apollo
gy, and its remembrance for our reward.

The Democratic Platform ImprovedI

The world may have occasion to regret that
full report of the proceedings of the Democrats
at their meeting in the eastern section of this
city, on Wednesday night last, has not found its
way into the Union and other equally reliable
and instructive journals. A gentleman who was
present writes us as follows:
Amendments to the Democratic platform
we're offered and adopted. They were read BY
Mr. Forney, at the conclusion of his speech and
adopted as an additional section TO the Baltimore
platform. They contemplate amending the con
stitution, SO as to elect judges of the United
States Supreme Court by the people for term
of years the election of Senators by the people !;
and the doing away with Presidential Electors !;
the adoption of the Homestead bill, &C., sc.
s.After the adoption of the above, Mr.. john
son, of Tennessee, spoke in its support"
Daily American telegraph., 1852-07-12

ne The Union and its party oppose General
Scott-a well-tried hero and patriot, Virginian,
a man whose life has been devoted TO the cause
Of the union Of the States-because, being sup
ported by Senator Seward, he might be influenced
by him. They, however, support General Pierce,
whose public services have been comparatively
limited and obscure, native of an Abolition,
rsiigion-proscribing State, whose prominent sup
porters are the Van Burens, Hallet, Sumner, and
shoals of others who sympathize with them Are
the American people gudgeons to be thus caught
Not bit of it, The opponents Of General Scott
are desperate and catch at straws in their drown
ing struggles.

says "It will be recollected that Mr.. Clay re-
signed his seat to take effect the first of Septem-

fill the vacancy. Many suppose he can now take
his seat others, that he cannot do SO till Septem

notwithstanding the election of Dixon, can ap-
point for the whole unexpired term for which Mr.

Ne Democratic friend of ours states that
the cause of Gen. Pierces falling from his horse
was the fact of his stirrups' being too long. We
dc not know whether this is correct or not. II
it entirely great disadvantage to rider to have
them let out too far. If Gen. Pierce took the
measure of Gen. Scott's stirrups, and tried .tc
convince himself that his should be as long, We
do not wonder that he fell. In his present en-
deavor to stretch himself up to the altitude Of
Gen. Scott, another tumble is inevitable. We hope
the worthy but unavailing advocate of religious
liberty in New Hampshire may not be injured in
his approaching fall.
