THE PLATFORM OF THE Know NorHso
CONVENTIONAL seems by this time pretty
well understood that the Seward party have
been too hasty in surprising that the declara-
ton of thc<Northein members of the Know
Nothing Convention, and the platform adopt
ed by the majority of that body, have created
such division in the party as was, likely to
interfere with their views on the Presidency.
Even the Seward Wings are now beginning
to see that the division of opinions on slavery
was unavoidable was clearly foreseen by all
the friends of the party, and could not have
been brought to light in more advantageous
way for the Know Nothihgs than Il has. No
one, with common understanding, ever inng-
ined that the delegates from Georgia and
Governor Gardner could tell the world 30
impudent n falsehood MS that they were Of
one mind on slavery. The question once
brought up, therefore, il followed MS a matter
of course that they must differ; and it must
be gratifying to every member Of the Order
to reflect that they did so differ without ex.
pressing any intention of opposing each other
and without allowing themselves to be d.
verified from the original objects of their COM
bination. 1t cannot be too often repeated,
the Know Nothing party is stronger now than
it was before the convention. For the dangers
are known, and the shoals marked with buoys.
1t may steer boldly UPWARDS, it has now little
to fear. All is plain sailing, and If members
adhere to their principles victory is pretty
certain.

SLAVERY IN KANSAS AND NEBRASKA "A
correspondent of the Missouri Republican
writes from Kansns to that journal, under u
recent date, as follows:
"Thc friends of the South and of the I'm
ion may now rest satisfied, and the Adolf.
tionists and Disunionists may hang their harp
on the willow, and sit down on the Eastern
banks of the Mississippi and weep; for the
fate of Kansas is settled gloriously. Mis-
sourians, Kcntucknns, Tennesseeans, Vrgin-
ans, and other pro-slavcry citizens, are com.
ing every day by hundreds, and making
homes, comfortable homes, all over the Ter
ritory, md they WELD so strong an inuhu-
ence, socially and morally, as to change the
political opinion Of many of the Freesoilcrs
who have been sent here by the Aid Society.
II is only here and there in limited localities
that you find any number of Abolitionsts, and
they operate against their own cause. They
never will be able to control any influence, or
to effect anything of moment.
$50 strong, general and pcrvnding is tho
pro slavery sentiment that it has extended
ever to Nebraska, and we find the Nobrask q
City News enlsting under its banner, and

Southern portion of that Territory. Sever

THE CRITIcs.-The Platform set up BY
the Philadelphia Convention has effectually
taken the wind out of the sails of the oppo.
sition journals. True, they pretend to find
an immense deal of fault, criticise it with
dreadful severity, and even ridicule that SEN
timent which recognizes and acknowledges
firm reliance in the Almighty Being who
rules over the Universe; but so far all their
objections and criticisms are of the most pue
rifle and silly character, SO much so that any
editor who has decent respect for the intel
ligence of his readers ought to be ashamed
to parade such nonsense before them. One
paper down South deyotes four awful col.
nmns to what it calls dissection of the
Platform" and if there is one sentence in the
whole article that will bear the test of candor
and fair dealing, we were unable to discover
it-bnt, on the contrary, much to make the
writer ridiculous. And so through the whole
class of journals criticising the American
Platform-thcy are only making themselves
ridiculous, If not something worse. Perhaps
they can't help it. The poet probably had
such critics in his eye when he wrote:
"Some neither can for wits or critics pass,
As heavy mules are neither horse nor ass u

eY- Postmaster General Campbell wns mp.
piled to recently by the Postmaster Mt York,
Pa, to know whether a letter containing, as
was supposed, counterfeit money, could be

ties, IN order that The money contained therein
might be identified us the same us that passed
BY the prisoner, and that thus further evil
dence night be furnished 10 aid in his con.

General replied, emphatically, that it could

under him, TO open any letter until Il reached

must be always acted upon by those in the
employ ment Of the Department.

A DISTINGUISHED VIsIToR.-Edmund La.
fayette, grandson of the Marquis de Lafay-
cite, so distinguished as the brave and gener-
Gus champion of American Independence, has
been spending few days in Delaware with
the Du Points, who were the early friends of
the General. The Wilmington Journal says:
In company with few friends, he has
visited all the places of interest in the vicinity,
one of his earliest visits being TO the scene of
the battle at Chadd's Ford, in which his an.
cestor first shed his blood in our cause. Tho
very spot upon which the General was stand
ing when he was wounded, was pointed out
by some of the old residents.
Mr.. Lafayette is about % years of nge, of
fine countenance and engaging manners. He
bears some resemblance to his grandfather,
though much handsomer man.

lV A call was made through our paper
last week upon Messrs, Carlock and Hurst TO
address the people at the Court House in this
place, on Monday next. The Quarterly Court
meets on the I'd, and the business of that
body will probably consume the entire day.
We wouldrespectfully request the candidates
to seek some other OCCASION for discussion
as It is busy season, and the people should
be kept no longer from their business than
really necessary.

server says
Daniel Lord, one of the most eminent
lawyers of this city, and an elder in the Pres
byterian Church, has given an extended opin.
ion on the subject of the Prohibitory Liquor
Law. He regards the law in it's main features
rs involving an invasion of the Constitution.
Such an opinion, from a gentleman of his

eB- It is said Gov. Johnson has almost
ceased 10 abuse the Know Nothings since
the developments at the late Philadelphia
Convention have made it so evident that their
purposes are entirely national and patriotic.
a very perceptible change has passed over
the dream of the Nashville Union on the
subject, and it need not surprise any one if
both the editor of that paper and Gov. John.
son were to be thoroughly converted to the
faith by The Cd Of August As to the oracles
and jacks who locate on the street corners
and curse and abuse all who refuse to aid the
Romish Church, hoary with the crimes and
bloodshed of centuries, in its efforts TO grasp
temporal power and obtain the ascendcncy in
this country, nobody expects them ever to be
any wiser or better than they are at present

sB- The Lafayette Qnd.) Courier makes
a very wicked wish. The Presidents private
secretary happening to get stuck on the st.
Clair flats lately, on the steamer Illinois, the
Courier vents its malice at the Executive
thus:

board, and had to remain there for the next
three months, and read his veto message nine
times day-Sundavs excepted-the entire
West would take off its hat, and give three
times three pth wiH."

tW Three years ago Louis Napoleon,
finding that his army was not able to read,
advertised for contract to teach the soldiers.
A single gentleman undertook the contract.
He asked for no books; nothing but states
and pencils. He brought up the men in line
and pointed and at his dictation they learned
the alphabet, aud then to read. He then
asked for one single tract. He was permitted
to choose, and he selected, as preferable to all
tracts in the language ofman, the Gospel Of
st. John: In less than year he had taught
fifty thousand French soldiers to read the
Gospel of st. John, and had received copies
enough to put one in the hands Of each
soldier.

|1clIonn the candor Of which ho has recently

" That his declension was not "becuuse
Rnny lack Of confidence in the policy or in

President in his condemnation of the very
measures upon which Col. Smith staked his
election, and upon which he went to Con.
gress.
But so far from attempting in this canvass
to account for tho way in which he redeemed
his solemn pledges made in the last, Col
Smith, so far as we have heard him, though
called upon by his competitor, passes these
matters over in dignifed silence, simply re
marking that his acts are upon the record
and he is willing to be judged by that record
when he well knew the record is only in
the hands Of one man In each county, and
frequently not even that and that not one
out Of every thousand voters in this district
will ever sec it until after the election. But
a faint ray of hope dawned upon us the other
day, and we thought we might yet be able to
see something of his efforts to serve his con-
stituents, when in reply to an article in this
paper suggesting an abuse of the frdnking
privilege, he stated in rather vaunting style
that the document franked was one that his
constituents were interested in, that It con.
tanned parrof kis speech, We'll, We thought
now that speech might throw some light on
his efforts in behalf of the Rabun Gap Rail-
road, and might explain why he didn't get

prise to find, upon looking into the document
that snme speech of the Col, in which he
thought his constituents had so deep nm in.
terest MS TO justify, to say the least of IT, Il
very questionable use Of his frank, amounted
simply to glowing euIogy upon Catholic
piety and foreign patriotism, interlarded with
pretty heavy denunciations of his own Pro.
testart countrymen and furious onslaught
upon the Know Nolhings. Were not the
Coils constituents more interested TO know
what services he has rendered the people Of
his district, if any; and if none, what use
have they for his future services, and wha
use could there be in foisting him again before
the country at this late stage in the canvass
at so manifest an injury to his own privat,
affairs? Let the people answer.

Baron Steuben, and few others equally dis

mored of liberty, came to this country and
fought gallanvy'in the war of the Revou.

and their deeds remembered with gratitude
as long Ms the republic endurcs. But while
the antics parade the names of the fe,O who
fought for American lberty-the right to
think, to speak, and to activity don't they
tell us of the many who came to This coun.
try and fought against American liberty in
the same war? Why don't they tell us of
the ten thousand Hessians, who were not
subjects of, and owed no allegiance to, the
government with which tho American colo
MES were at war? These came to fight
against liberty and for tyranny and opprcs-
sion, and their deeds of inhumanity, blood
shed, and rapne, cannot be required to even
at this distant day without calling up thrill
of horror. But few such rs Lafayette and
his compatrots come to our country, while
hundreds of thousands just like the Hes

as ignorant of our institutions and rs much

e~We have received letter from Mon.
roe county requesting us TO call upon Cola.
Is. Howard to run for the State Senate. The
writer says Col. II. is a good wing, has n
general acquaintance throughout the District,
and would receive the warm support of many
of the voters--nll of which may be very true.
But il is not our business to call out wings
or democrats for the State Senate; and If II
were we could make no call upon the gentle
man alluded TO, except to stay ut homo and
attend to his business, if he has any. There
are already three respectable candidates in the
field for the Senate in this District, and the
most acceptable ,ehig in it could not get our
support by tlrusting himself forward at this
late stage of the canvass. " Fair play is n
jewel" and although foul means may some
times succeed, it never pays in the end, and
we would rather be in the minority always
than obtain success by any other than honor
able resorts. AS for the individual whom
our correspondent wants us to call out, he
isn't worth the powder and lead that it would
take to kill him, and we don't want any one
to trouble us any further about his becoming
a candidate for any thing.
