Ohio Democracy.

Here is plank of the Ohio Democratic plat.
form which the Union declares to be the true
Democratic doctrine.
"Resolued, That the people of Ohio now, as
they always have done, looked upon slavery as
an evil and unfavorable to the full development
of the spirit, and practical benefits of free insti-
tutions; and that entertaining these sentiments
they will at all times feel it to be their duty to
use all power clearly given by the terms of the
national compact, to prevent its increase, to
mitigate, and finally to eradicate the evil: but
be it further
"Resolped, That'the Democracy of Ohio do at
the same time fully recognise the doctrine held
by the early fathers of the republic, and still
maintained by the Democratic party in all the
States, that to each State belongs the right to
adopt and modify its own municipal laws, to
regulate it's own internal affairs, to hold, and
maintain All equal and independent sovereignty,
with each and every State, and that upon these
rights the national Legislature can neither lepis.
late nor encroach.

LECTURE AT THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE
Last night. Professor RODGERS, of the Virpini,
College, delivered the first of series of four lee
lures on the atmosphere. 1t was chiefly of ar
introductory character, however, in which alIu
sion was made to the superior advantages, pos
sessed by the least favored of the present gen.
eration, with reference to scientific discoveries
over the sages and philosophers of antiquity
lie entered into an investigation and explanation
of the properties of air, and its various agencies
and accounted satisfactorily for the mistaken
opinions that formerly prevailed, as to the ab
sence of ponderosty which he illustrated by
experiments.
Professor RODGERS is evidently n practical
man, who is well acquainted with his subject
and from his unpreteuding appearance and man.
ners, the audience were little prepared for the
flights of pathos and eloquence, which fre.
quently called forth the applause of those pres
ent. In concluding the lecture, which he said
was intended as a foundation, upon which to
rear a future superstructure, Professor R. took
occasion to state, that he did not wish to be
misunderstood. Beyond the physical condition
Of man, science, he said, does not pretend to
penetrate; his spirituality remaining closed

nomena Of nature.

MONEY MATTERS IN New ORLEANs-The
New Orleans Bulletin of Monday says:
Itiswell known by the entire community, and
most feelingly so by the active business portion
of it, that for some weeks past the pressure in
the money market has been most uncomfortably
severe. Some Of our most responsible houses
have been strained to meet their obligations,
although abundantly able to do so, could they
have realized upon the produce consigned to
them, but which has been delayed in transitr.
by either low water in some of the rivers, or
ice in the others. Saturday when large guam.
tty of paper fell due, embracing the first and
fourth of the month, amounting as we learn, to
some two millions of dollars, was looked to as
crisis, or turning point, and by many with fear.
ful forebodiugs. Happily, all these fears have
proved groundless; the rubicon was passed
easily and successfully; most or oil of the paper
was met, and we have heard of no failures The
banks were exceedingly liberal, and discounted
to the very extreme of their ability, and we hear
of their praises in the mouths of their grateful
benefcares. Our affairs are now beginning to
brighten the rivers in the interior are opening
and the prospect of a rush of business is most
encouraging.

COTTON AT APALACHICoLA.-The Price Cur.
rent of the Apalachicoa Advertiser says that
81 the total receipts of cotton at this port the
present season, are variously estimated, ranging
from $50 to 10000 bales. There is little doubt
that the production Of cotton this year in the
section of country which has heretofore sought
an outlet at this port, is greater than it has ever
before been, and were it all to come forward
through this port, would reach the highest of
the above figures"
The editor thinks the receipts will not fall
short of 100000 bales, which is greater by some
four or FIVE thousand bales than they have ever
yet received.

NY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
NY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
T7NEIE public will be grati6ed to learn that the
! United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abed to announce that their arrangements arenow
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chaagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation OF the great
number then DESTROYS to go OUT to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire 40 accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, ana by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as Anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the snip
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions now all removed.
Three of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
VOYAGE through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDsoN.
TTHMUS, Capt. HITCHCoCK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEy.

to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Capt PORTER, u. s. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, u S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsTEN, U. s. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay fthe ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations OF the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rand and pleasant through passage to California.
