Platform and Principles of the
American Organization.

The following are the platform and princi-
pies of the American Organization, adopted
by the National Council at Philadelphia:
PLATFORM AND PRINCIPLES.
1.-The acknowledgment of that Almighty
Being, who rules over the Universe-who
presides over the Councils of Nations-who
conducts the affairs of men, and who, in every
step by which we have advanced to the char
acter of an independent nation has distin-
guished us by some token of Providential
agency.
1.-THE cultivation and Development of
sentiment of profound and intense Ameli-
can feeling; of passionate attachment to our
country, its history and it's institutions; of
admiration for the purer days of our national
existence; of veneration for the heroism that
precipitated our Revolution, and of emulation
of the virtue, wisdom and patriotism that
framed our Constitution and first successful
ly applied its provisions.
1II.-The maintenance Of the Union Of
these United States as the paramount politi-
cal good; or to use the language of Washing
ton. 1.-The primary object ofpatriotic desire. "
And hence:-
LIST. Opposition to all attempt to weaken
or subvert it.
I'd. Uncompromising antagonism to every
principle of policy that endangers it.
| Sd. The advocacy of an equitable adjust
met of all political differences which threat
ems its integrity or pcrpetuity.
| 4th. The suppression of all tendencies to

THE MAGNITUDE OF THE EARTH.-Accord-
ing to recent authority the circumference of
the Globe is twenty five thousand and twenty
miles. 1t is not so easy to comprehend so
stupendous circle as to put down its extent
in figures. 1t becomes more palpable, per-
haps; by comparison, such as this A rail
way train, travelling necessarily, night and
day, at the rate oftwenty-fivc miles an hour,
would require six weeks to go round it. The
cubical bulk of the earth is two hundred and
sixty thousand millions of cubic miles! DR..
Lardncr says if the material which form the
globe were built up in the form of a column,
having pedestal of the magnitude of Eng
land and Wales, the height of the column
would be nearly four-and ahalf millions Of
miles,

all its citizens from interference with the in
ternal concerns of nations with whom We
are at peace.
NIV'-Ths National Council declares
that all the principles of the Order shall be
henceforward everywhere opeEly avowed:
and that each member shall be at liberty to
make known the existence of the Order; and
the fact that he himself is member: and it
recommends that there be 10 concealment of
the places of meeting of the subordinate
Councils.

TO LOVERS OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.
TIME Advertiser, Frenchman and grad.

j uate of the Polytechnic School OF Paris, re-
spectfully offers his services as q teacher of his
native tongue to Schools, Glasses, and Private
Pupils of this city and vicinity. The system he
follows TO facilitate the acquisition of the French
Language, unites in due proportion theory and
practice; by which are avoided the difficulties the
student often meets with in pursuing one of the
many theoretical grammars, not sufficiently show
ing the idiomaucal part Of the language, or prac
tical one, in which the necessary grammatical
rules, if not entirely, at least far too much are
neglected. In following these theoretical gram
mars, the student must have experienced that
after having devoted a long time TO the mere me-
morizing of sentences, he find himself in posses
sion of number OF set phrases, valuable it is
true, but from which, destitute of landmarks, the
slightest deviation must lead him into unknown
regions.
The advertiser feels confident in the assertion
that sbe pupil, in adopting his method may, with
little effort, after course of toyty-nght lessons,
understand and speak the French, and find the
sistance of teacher not necessary in the further
prosecution Of the studies of that language.
Instruction in Pencil Drawing, Pastel Painting,
and Penmanship, can also be had from the adver-
tIser.
References in success in teaching, etc. ETC.. will
be given.
