The Freesoi1 Platfom.

In 1852, the National Convention of
Freesoilism assembled at Pittsburgh,
and, among other things they done, a.
dopted the following excellent resolu-
ton:
ReSozUed, That the entsgrdnts and e.
lies from the Old World should find a
cordial welcome to homes of comfort,
and fields of enterprise in the New and
eUery attempt to abridge their privile-
ges of becoming citizens and owners of
the soil among US ought to be resisted
toith ityf,gi6le determination.
1t is hardly necessary to say, that the
sentiments expressed in the above reso-
luton is now, and always has been, one
of the openly avowed principles of the
Democratic party. 1t is a great princi-
pie, and a good one, for any party to
adopt. The Democratic party stands as
true to this principle; to-day, as it did
in the days of the alien and sedition law.
The Wings stand were they have always
stood. The true Freesoilers, where do
they stand in reference to this principle?
Do they ignore it? Most certainly they
do, when tliey fuse with the Know Moth
ing party, or, in other words, the old
Wing party. 1t remains for the future,
to see how honest these Freesoilers are
in reference to one of their great prin-
ciples. IF the Fusionists are honest, can
they not adopt a similar resolution at
their meeting toappoint delegates to the
18th of July convention? Cannot the
delegates who attend'the State conveu-
ton have the sentiment of this resolu-
ton reiterated Show your hands,
that the world may see whether you re-
gard success of" more advantage than
principle. Time will prove it. If the
Fusionists are honest, We certainly can
have a platform in regard to their posi-.
ton on Know othingism. Do they
still like, as did Gen. ScorT, the "nice
Irish brogue and sweet German ac-
cent" We think, if former professions
are worth anything, a pretty kettle of
fish " is to be cooked somewhere.

FRANCE AND POLAND M. de Persip-
ney has been appointed the French EN-
bassador at the Court of St. James, in
the place of Walewski. The new Minis-
ter to Eog'd is understood to be friend
ly to the resuscitation Of the kingdom
of Poland as a bulwark against Russian
entertainments. This change in the
councils of Napoleon III is regarded as
a triumph by the friends of Polish ma
tionality. The steps recently taken to
organize a Polish legion are regarded
as pointing to the same conclusion
But as the establishment of Poland
would be q Revolutionary movement"
these differences are to be taken with
considerable grains of allowance.

1t Is no use we think, to castigats him

nothing of his ign~orance--as "a person

We clip the following account Of his
sitting for his picture, from che Leader:
Parks SITTING FOR HIS PIcrukE-
We have been shown a most beautifully
accurate daguerreotyre likeness Of
Parks, taken of him in the prison yester-
day by Mr..North, in whose gallery IL
can be seen. He was respectfully dressed.
His features rest in quiet soft rep0se
every iineament in the eountenance Of
the miserable man is there; the quiet,
serene, obstinate look of calm despair is
there; ah-aii, except animation, -
there. No person would eve dream BY
looking at that picture, that it was the
likeness of a man convicted and incar-
cerated for the awful crime Of deliberate
murder, aud having but two days be-
tween him and eternity, 90 little does il
reveal the workings of his heart, or his
fate.
"Parks was quite solieitous that in
taking the picture nothing should appear
showing the prison, the bars and CRATES,
or the manacles on his legs. He talked
jokingly of his approaching death; said
that in ferty.eight hours be expected an
introduction to the Emperor Nicholas,
who, though an emperor, had not lived
as long as be, Parks, aud had to pay
the common debt of nature as we'll a
