of extract Comparing the two Platforms says Mr.
Pulszky we do not become wiser to the questions
which divide the parties One of them is for liberty and
order, the other for order and liberty One is liberal
conservative, the other is conservave-iberal We see
only that both for the Presidency behalf Of their
nominees and for the Government patronage for the par

slavery question for political discussion, and that the
only questions of internal politics which osensiby divide
them at present thesethe question of the tariff the
question Of improvements the Lakes and the Mssis
sipp and question relating to the settlements
embodied in bill called the homestead bill Yet though
separated by such small array Of ostensibe differences
the two parties carry them quite different traditions
and tendencies, which MIR. Puszky thus expounds."
