Since the fact has appeared that The Wing Convention
had two very different platforms 10 regard to The sectional
ssues-one TO publish in the newspapers and send over
the comfy, while The other lay quietly the secetays
table, ready for where and when il might be needed
has come to be avery interesting inquiry which of the
two the convention thought il voting for when one
Of them adopted We trust this matter will be
cleared up ere long.
Fortunately. however. there can be no doubt which
OF the two it that General Scott acspi in the
Geographic despatch Of Monday in which he accepted the
nomination This must have been the newspaper plat
iom--the platform that had in il neither compromise,
covenant of adjustment, 6nali,y, nor constu
t5na requirement. the basis OF the permanently OF the
fugitive law, and which put all the laws OF the Thirty
first Congress on the footing This the only
published platform when The General sent bis despatch
The wing party may, therefore, quarrel much they
please as TO which platform the convention adopted or
intended 10 adopt. There is doubt which platform
General Scott over his own signature made haste to
accept.
II will be interesting and instructive hereafter 10
pare General Scotfs opinions, down in his letters
with the platform 10 which, with The presidency fitting
dslusively before his view he has yielded his assent

statistics by me on ,hIs s<hsct, but have quito
sufficient to prove the position have taken. 1t
is an indsputable fact that the domestic manu-
facturc and consumption Of Cotton has greatly
diminished under the present Tariff. In lSl7-e.
the first year in which if began to operate, We
worked up NJ home COG 600 bales and our i'm
ports of cotton goods that year amountedto Sle,-
Az OOO being an increase of about S30OO,OOO,
on the average import of 1856, and 1867
deducting what we exported out of the imports
the quantity of imports consumed was probably
$500 bales, which added to what We worked
up, would make our total domestic consumption
63l GOO bales. Our domestic consumption this
year, ls50-5 is about 49r 900 bales. showing a
falling off of l3300O bales notwithstanding the
great increase in our population. From lril-2
TO lcl6-7 the consumption Of cotton goods in
creased 10 per cent. and had it continued to in
crease at the same rate TIL the present time, we
should consume about 100000 bales. instead Of
which we consume but little more than half that
amount.
In further confirmation Of this, we may refer
TO the number OF Cotton mills and spndles now
idle. The Boston Transcript as quoted by Hunts
.frctdnfs Magazine. published a long list Of
factories which have discontinued, portion Of
the number Of spiudles which we're running in
i've Of the New England States, which have

says that at Is the RICH, kind OF

saws that at s the right kind of
points in issue between the parties a,
IN were settled by the people, and there
llulIln BIZ, as there ", no disposition to proiong
the contest Amer full investigation, the popu-
lar iudpmen, was made up in all the Southern
states in favor of a faithful acquiescncc in the
compromise measures. The popular judgment
in the northern states, so far as the democracy is
concerned, has settled upon the same basis
Why, then, cannot the democracy OF the Union
harmonize on this basis The late discussions
have shown that democratic harmony Is ihlng
that NAV vet be attained, because they have
shown that the differences of opinion when pre-
vailed may all be reconciled upon the simple
plan of regarding the Compromise as perma-
nent adjustment of the slavery question. IL IS
not necessary TO a union upon tins basis that any
democrats shall be required to make any recan-
tation of former opinions. Those who approved
the compromise measures as in themselves right
MAY continue to approve them, and those who
condemned them as wrong may still condemn
them, provided they are prepared to acquiesce IN
them as n final settlement 1t Is not necessary
or proper that approval Of these measures should
be made test of democracy-itis enough that
they are received as a final adjustment; and Ia
this extent the popular judgment has declared
overwhelmingly in the late elections"
Of course the North star has backed out Of
the free soil party and is ready TO swear by the
next Baltimore Convention.

WAsHINGroN, D. c., July 1, 1852.
To the Editors of the Literary Echo -
Standing on the steps Of the Capitol,
one has a most delightful view at this
season of the year. Before you is the
famed Pennsylvania Avenue, lined on
either side with thrifty trees, giving the
appearance Of one continuous green,
under the shade of which crowds of
human beings are constantly moving,
while in the center one continuous
change Of hacks, coaches, and omnibuses,
aids in presenting in one view minia-
turs of the world, which is duly repre-
sented in this thoroughfare.
The first house on the right which
attracts notice is one built by Washing
ton. Its peculiar sallow color and green
vines creeping over it, detract nothing
from the reverence reused at its sight.
Next comes the depot, by no means
remarkable, followed by succession of
churches, halls, the dwellings of Gwinn,
Benton, Bailey, &c., the principal
hotels Of the city and the public build
ings after this manner. On the next
street parallel with the Avenue ranging
nearly over Gadsby's Hotel are the city
buildings, short distance north of which
is the Patent Office, the most perfect
Museum in the country. Next, ranging
over the National Hotel, where died
the eternally to be remembered CLAY,
appears the Eastern Section of the Sec
retary Buildings occupied by the greatest
Statesman now living. These buildings
extend to the Avenue which apparently
terminates here, where stands the world
wide famed White House. A stranger
cannot fail to notice how tcnaciously the
crowd retain this side of the street. But
to return. On your left may first be
seen the residences on Capitol Hill and
others stretching along to the Potomac,
in nothing remarkable save the Smith
sonian Institute and tho National Mon

Nash commenced running his beautiful
boat, Rolla, from this place to Watch
Hill, and thence to Stonington and back,
to accommodate such as may wish to
visit those popular resorts during the
summer. The Rolla is fitted up in the
best style, and will accommodate about
thirty passengers, and Capt. N. is gen.

sail on such an excursion. The boat
will leave Pendleton's Wharf at eight
