which has been so badly treated by the Ad,

and soul upon the altar of freesoilism-seems
SO be growing in favor upon sudden. We
notice that the Louisville Democrat and the

Excellent Exposition.

The Wheeling Times and Gazette furnishes
the following admirable comment upon the
twelfth section of the Philadelphia Platform.
That section was, as the Times says, intended
to assert the right of private Judgment, and a
pledge not TO embody that judgment in any
federal law, or make its agitation the subject
of a federal issue: sTsr
That there may be no misunderstanding as 10
our views, or the position OF the American party
on the great question upon which the American
people are radically divided, we win state briefly
our position. The twelfth section Of the platform,
which disposes of this question, while IL reserves
60 every man the undeniabe right to believe sla-
very either curse or blessing, at the same time
binds him TO refrain from any intervention or agi-
taton Of this question: not that there can be q
satisfactory adjustment Of the question in the alb
stract, but because, for the sake Of the Unon-for
the purpose of aliaying sectional anmosities, aud
the cultivation of brotherly feeling between the
conflicting sections--we both willing to accept
this as a final aud conclusive settlement Of the
Subject IN spirit and substance"
The Americans are not responsible for the pas
sage of the Kansas act nor pledged 10 its repeal.
Many members of tho Philadelphia Convention
were satisfied with the Compromise OF $780, and
deprecated It's change; bat as the Nebraska bin
was the law of the land, as such they determined
10 regard il as sacred. No man can be, nor u So
garded now, in fellowship with the party, who does
not subscribe ia toto 20 the doctrines OF the Pha.
delphia Platform. II he regards the question OF
Abolition Though no member Of the party is re-
ouired 70 favor the Institution OF slavery para
mount 10 Americanism, why thea, he Is Al once an
Aboli,ionlst and az such, can no more be mem
Der Of the party than could the Secession Demo
Gratis Of the South.
After this decided stand Of the Philadelphia
Convention, 10 man in his sober senfes can for a
moment believe that any but purely national man
can receive the domination for the Presidency At
the hands Of the American party. This being az
certain az that tho sun shines IN the heavens, In
the name of common sense, what has the Union 70
fear from the National American party and We,
and all true Americans, claim alaliauon with none
other.
