Alas WHERE Is THE BALTIMORE

Ninth Section " of thatljnstrument
to which we invite especial attention
Although the platform has long since
been taken eopsn 22nd different sec
tions thereof divided against them
selves, yet the principles are the same
immutable principles now, that they
were in 1S4S. IF Mr.. Jefferson did
intend to convey the idea in the /" De.
claration," that all men are literally
Free and equal, politically and il
the good Democrats who built the
the Baltimore platform, adopted his
liberal principles - then by very
correct process of rat-i-oAnation, the
party proclaimed to the world a doc.
trine, which does not look we'll, on
this side Of Mason's line. In short
they adopted the abolition sentiment.
Now NJ, we believe, holds to the opin-
ion that all men are noQoorn free and
equal--that there is as Qnuch differ
ence between men, as there is between
other animals. The weak are prayed
upon by the strong, and devoured
by them. The most beautiful order
Of government, under which fishes
live in the sea. is carried out in animal
creation, on land-the large devour
the small, and feel no compunction of
conscience at 1t, t
All men are not therefore created
free and equal; some are strong in
body and weak in soul; and the other
way. Some men are round and fat !;
others are short and gaunt some
have strong nerves; others have not.
There are round heads and flat heads;
the Roman and the pug nosed. In
the matter of skin there is also wide
there is white and black
brown and blue; snuff, cane, and corn
colored; all having peculiarities, we'll
defined. To say that they are all
equal, is to say what is not so. There
fore, as before said, all men are not
created free and equal and therefore
are we half inclined to believe with
M that the Baltimore platform
builders Of '4S got bad plank into
that wind instrument and it be-
hooves the organs of the party to
prove that it was not darling idea Of
Mr.. Jefferson's to strike at all manner
Of slavery in the Declaration ~
The Cry OF NAUvoo.-The editor
Of the Keokirk Gate thus describes
The ruins Of the Mormon Temple at
Nauvoo. The Temple is a pile Of
ruins, as most people know except the
front. That, with the exception Of the
tower still remains. There is enough
IN that to afford some idea Of its al
most weired like, ,incongruous, heathen-
sh, but fresh and vigorous architec-
;ure. 1t is deeply to be deplored that
7andal hands should have permitted
t to remain as a monument of the
strange religion that caused it to be
erected and the strange worship to
which it was dedicated. The enter

superior price Of work, and other en-.
gines and mills lay about in different
stages Of progress. The establish
ment has now on hand over $4,000
worth Of patterns and the buildings,
machinery, etc, necessary to carry on
the business, cannot fall far short of
$4,000. To the city, there is not a
more valuable institution in it. We

ELECTION NEws.--We publish no
election news telegraphic or other

upon the result Of the news by tele-
graph Of yesterday. When we do
talk in the dog days, with a swarm of
mosquitoes about us, biting in spite of
tobacco smoke from long nines--we
like to talk about something. We
like to have the Comet bear a little
consistency in its face, if it has none
in heart and we do not like to have
each succeeding day to pronounce the
news Of the day before--a lie--base
and unfounded. Because the tele.
graph is proverbially false--false as
the vain glorious tale, told to Ran
dolph. We reiterate the sentiment
Of an organ before us--an organ

at GlO,0Oo,000 in Blackwood. OIL
our currency, this would be $780,
900, 900 nearly, and is certainly a
larger sum than the amount Of our
indebtedness. Blackwood sets up
the public or national debt Of the
world at 81, l,7e2,629,4so. The ques.
tion is, who will pay this debt The

owe the world anything and yet they

which you fully understand, and OBSERVE
You know that we have uniformly taught
you both publicly and privately, to perform
all the duties of good citizens, and that we
have never exacIed of you, as we ourselves
have never made even to the highest ecole-
siasticol authority, any engagements incon-
sistent with the duties we owe TO the coua-
try and its laws. On every opportunc oc-
casion we have avowed these principles
and even in our communications TO the late
Pontif, we rejected as a calumny the impu
tation that we were in civil matters subject
10 his authority. BE not disturbed at the
msstatcment Of our tenets which are daily
made, or at the effort TO deprive us of our
civil rights, and Of the confidence and esteem
Of our fellow citizens. Formidable as is
the combination for this purpose, we do not
despair that the justice and good sense of
the nation will soon discover the groundless
character of the suspicious thrown on the
fidelity Of Catholics, whose religion teaches
them to respect and maintain the established
order of society, under whatsoever form Of
government they may be placed, Brethren,
let the light of your example slime before
men, that they may see your good works
