ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The following resolutions were adopted at the
meeting of portion Of the Democratic members of
the Legislature of Georgia on Monday week.
1t will be seen that the party determines to ad-
here to President PIERCE, and that it takes sides
against Mr. DICKINSON and the Nationals. OF the
Administration, it declares that it uielcs ats friends
as oar friends ats opponents as our opponents"
Resolved That the principles and sentiments declared
by the National Democratic Convention of 1852 remain
in unimpared strength the bond which draws together
the Democracy Of every section Of country in symps
thy and union and that the Democratic party Of Georgia
avas itself of this occasion to reterate its cordial scqu
escence in them.
solrd That we recognise in President Pierce long
tried patriotic and consistent exponent of these prnc
pies and sentiments that his exposition Of them in his
Inaugural Address and message to Congress meets
with full and having undated conf
dence in his fidelity to them, pedgeto his Admnistra
ton cordial support, and rieT s friends friends
ITS opponents opponents,
Resolred That the Democratic party Of Georgia
phaticay avows its construction Of the Baltimore Plat
form of 1852 in reference the slavery question be
distinct reputation Of the principle Of the Wlmot Pro-
yiso in any future organization Of territory now pos
session hereafter to be acquired and that cannot
recognise any belonging to the Democratic party
who shall seek enforce shall advocate this principle
so repudiated
Resolped That while our warmest sympathies due
to those Northern Democrats who amidst the of ia
naticsm on the slavery question which has ragged in past
years in their section of the Union stood firmly the
rights Of the South recognise Democrats all
fellow of the North who stand firmly with
on the platform of the National Democratic party and
therefore pledged defend the South from any future
assaults upon her institutions.
Resor,d That to the sscendency and integrity of the
National Democratic party based is upon the prn
cpes recognised in its platform the people Of the South
can confidently look guarantee for the preservation
of the reserved rights Of the States within the Union and
especially Of their constitutional rights with reference
the institution Of slavery.

AFFAIRS AT ERIE.

We gather from the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser the
following particulars Of the disorder Harbor Greek

superintendent Of the Buffalo and State Line Road;
Messrs Coughlin JONES' Hopper and Others conductors
and agents of the Erie and North East Line; Mr.
W. NJ Kasson Col Johnson and several other citizens Of
Buffalo.
Upon arriving at Harbor Creek they found mob Of
armed men tearing up the track where it had just been
reaid by the laborers, and Mr. Coughlin walked up
the spot and stood quietly looking lie met by
shouts of There's damned spy kill him hang him :
knock him the head" and similar friendly sugges-
tons Mr. Coughn retreated towards the cars present.
ing revolver at his assaants and warning them to keep
off On sight Of the weapon several of them shrank
back but three or four of the desperate rushed to-
wards him with their pckaxes raised when MIR. Cough
lin pulled the trigger Two Of the caps missed fire. but
the third took effect and the bullet struck of the mob
the side of the head naictng only slight wound
Mr. Coughln then reached the cars, and induced by
Mr. Dennis to get locomotive and leave the spot
Shortly afterwards the rngleaders induced the mob "
demand that Dir. Dennis should be delivered to Their
and with that object six hundred rufhaAs
approached the in which that gentleman and his
friends seated They surrounded the and some
OF them jumped upon the platform and entered Mr.
kasson and others inquired if they had authority for
arrestng Mr. Dennis, and they replied that the mob was
their authority and that enough for them. Mr.
Dennis wished to leave the car fearful of endangerng
the lives of his friends but they would not suffer him to
do The mob then became furious, and swore that
they 0ould have Mr.. Dennis, when Mr. Kasson rushed
forward to the engine and started it himself The track
speedily cleared Of the mob and those the train,
with the exception of two, jumped off The cars,
after depostng Mr. Dennis and his party in the State of
New York. returned for the passengers from Cleveland
Shortly after the train had left Harbor Greek the Erie
rabble headed by the Mayor, reached the spot swelling
the number Of the mob to two thousand men. The
sheriff and militia of the county also arrived and the lat
ter under pretence of putting stop to the riot took
possession of the track and drove off the laborers
1t has been satisfactorily demonstrated that the
railroad companies powerless to protect their own
property the lives of their passengers How long this
of affairs is be suffered continue matter OF
