Know Nothing Platform.

The correspondent of the New York Ex-
press, attending the National Know Moth
ing Convention at Philadelphia, writes as
fulows:-
The platform worls-of which it is
thought there must be one--is work Of
some difficulty, TO be sure-but of no more
than the usual difficulty. The UacEer it is
the better, in some quarters, and the 1rhitcr,
tits the better in others. In such cases, at
Baltimore has been inlaid in the Mosaic
manner-but now, it is likely to be laid in
the enigmalical manner.
"A large majority of the Northern Dele
gates are sound sensible, right thinking men,
and there are only few fre-eaters from the
South, and they don't mean 10 cat too much
fire. There has been no sectional caucus-
ing whatever. Southern men and Northern
men mingle on the be>! terms together.
There is difficulty in part of Massachu-
SettS, Michigan, and in Northern Indiana,
and Northern Ohio-which would like to
have strong anti-slavery platform but in
Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and
other free States, nothing Of the like is
wanted. New York, Pennsylvania, and
New Jersey pull to together, as one mar, on
principles, and with them go all the south
ern counties on the north side OF the Ohio
| river.
There is nothing 10 be put on the PLAT
FORM" and nothing can be put on, which
will make necessary any sacrifice Of prin-
cple on the subject of Slavery, either from
the North or South.
The most of the Deegatcs here, are new
men, unversed in practical! politics, but
there are among them many men eminent in
the various walks of life, Judges of high
Courts, Governors and ex-Governors Of
States, Members of Congress elect, sc.

One Hundrd Years to Come.
"Earth's purcst gems are fading

EdTlis pUICsl gems are fadin9
And vanish from our sight,
Our hearts with grief are ladine,
To miss the pure and bright"
Yes, one hundred years from to-day-and
where shall we all be? Where will be the
millions of hearts, now throbbing with all
the varied emotions of hope, and fear, love,
and pride, hate and revenge, avarice, and
ambition. joy and sorrow? All sleeping.
their eyes forever closed in that dream that
knows no waking! o, solemn thought, that
you, and !, dear reader, will be shrouded in
the pale winding-shcet, and be laid away in
the silent gravel 1t matters not how beau-
tiIul we may be, so much the more splendid
the banQuetry Of the canker worm! These
fraiI tenemens of clay, that we decorate
with so much care and pride, will soon. oh
very soon, be but the dust Of the earth, that
another generation shall trample upon!-
Soon the places that now know us will know
us no more, forever. Boast not tly>eIf, O,
man Of wealth, of thy houses and lands, for
how soon shall another sit in thy place by
thy fireside, and another wander through
thy groves and call them ''nine." And
thou, vain votary of pleasure, cease thy fool
i>h round of vanity; pause moment and
ask the question, Where shall be one hun
drcd years from to-day" And listen! From
the depths Of thy heart will come an answer
in that uufathomable word, "Eternitv."-
Yes, in eternity! And thou, who would's ST
gain "name immortal" among thy fellow
men, better have thy name written in "the
! Lambs book Of lie;" seek to win more
lasting crown than that of thy fading
''iame laurels," even crown Of immorta
glory. And TO You, gay voyager on the
mighty deep, would say set your vesse
In order-unfurl your sails, and prepare tc
launch away on the shoreless ocean Of
eternity; look well to your compass, that
you may safely land in the haven of eterna
rest. And you, brave youth, and gentle
maiden, whose feet fit quickly through the
nazes of the giddy dance, and whose ear is
delighted with the glad sound of music, o
far better attune your voices tc sing praise:
before the throne of the Eternal, where yo,ll
ears shall ever listen TO the music OF tn,
golden harps i'll the spirit-land.
| Then their voices of melody seem to ring,
Each tender strain to different string;
Though in harmony sweet the echoes blend
And down 10 the throne of God descend"

Poisoned.

On Thursday evening last, (says the
Fayette Banner Of the 18th, some eighteen
or twenty of the family of Capt. j. R. White
were poisoned, with arsenic. 1t is suppos-
ed that the poison was administered in bus
cult, by one or more Of the servants. BY
the assistance Of Medical aid, we under.
stand they are all likely TO recover. Capt.
White and lady, We're considered very dam
gerous, for several days. a number Of the
servants, were also very much affected, by
poison, which makes it certain that all Of
them were not apprised of the transaction.
This is the second time this family have
been poisoned, within the last two months
In the first case the physicians supposed ii
TO be cholera, but now it is pretty certain
they were mistahen;--the family say the
symptoms in both cases were the same
The matter will be properly looked into, and
the guilty party dealt with.

true friends OF our institutions, to unite
in the effort TO prevent further aggression;
and whereas The effort is being made by

of public pIunder, is much dearer than
the rights and freedom ola brave speopIe,
to divide us, and render our resistance
less elIectual. Therefore be itresolved,
