TIE uINnOO RACK-OUT.

The sale at Philadelphia of the New-York
Know.Nothings TO the Slavery Propaganda
proves a nullity. The sellers are unable to de-
liver Tnc rank aud file 10 the rural districts
are perfectly willing that Messrs. Barker, Un-
mann and others shall become Members Of the
Cabinet and Foreign Ministers, but they will
not consent, in behalf Of those high-reschiug
"Buckinghams, TO sacrifice their own chances
Of becoming Sbcriffs, Clerks and Members of
Assembly. They might consent, for a consd-
eration, to be dOughfaces; but they are not
quite ready TO be martyrs. And SO the great
National American Platform, so laboriously con-
structed in Philadelphia and so imposing'y
ratified in this City, goes overheard. Ii is
henceforth undeniably a sectional Platform
that of the Southern Know. Nothings and theirs
only. It's sphere is coextensiye with that Of
the Methodist Church South" to whose favor
we particularly recommend it.
The Know.NothiDg movement was lifted
into importance by tue Union. savers. Its pro-
totype, the "0rder Of United Americans, voted
almost unanimously for Pierce against Gen.
Scott. Before othtrs we're made aware of its
importance, our old Silver Grsys, who had
just stabbed Gen. Scott because he would not
prescribe Gov. Seward aud his friends, had TAX
en- hold Of 1t, and were working it, with might
and main, to subserve their own narrow pur-
poses. Ullmanp, one of them, became the
American" candidate for Governor, and the
whole Silver-Gray vote was cast for him,
forming some thiri, TO City per cent. Of his ag-
gregsts poll. They packed the Delegation to
the Philadelphia cOnclsye, spurred on the South
20 exact en- explicit abandonment Of the Mis-
souri Restriction and q complete surrender Of
every Frte-Soil aspiration. Had New-fork
been .ru represented in that Council the Pro-
slavery platform would not have prevailed.
But now New.York repudiates that platform
even now-NotbiDg New-York, Monroe and
Seneca Csttaraugus and AllegaDy, Erie and Chau-
tauque, cannot be brought to stand on that plat
form. There g no use knocking at the door"
unless you want to bring the house down about
your ears. New-York is invincibly, over wheln'
ingly hostile to the reputation Of the Missouri
Compact and to the establishment Of Slavery ip
Kansas. Even Sam won't stand those out
RACES. He wants Americans to rule America"
but is not so clear ss to South Carolina ruling
New York.
1t is very true that the countermaroh at Bing-
bamton has been made with bad grace, and that
the constructors of the new platform took pains
to render it as ambiguous and unmeaning as they
could. But, while what they say amounts Posi-
lively to very little, the fact that they hsd to repu-
date the Philadelphia platform on Slavery and
take up an antagonist position is full Of significance
Instead Of waving as Philadelphia did, all ques-
Jon ss to the origin or policy Of the NebFssA Act

THE BURLINGTON MASSACRE.

On Wednesday OF darlington, n. j., twenty.
FIVE per, OILS were killed and some fifty wounded
by what lie called railroad accident Since the
disaster at Nor walk in 1853 no such wholesale
slaughter bad occurred On any railroad in the
county. The facts have been clearly ascer-
tanned by our reporters Of the different journals
and sre duly spread before our readers. Tne
points in the case which especially call for com.
ment are the following:
Though this road is enc Of the greatest
and most profitable thofougbfares in the country
it hes but a single track. This is owing to the
corrupt monopoly system maintained by tho
State of New.Jersey in defiance of her own in
teIest and the public welfare, and to the de-
st.uctioa of her good name. Had there boea
two tracks this dreadful even. would not have
happened.
H. The highway across the railroad was neither
carried over on bridge, nor protected by suit
able gates with proper attendants to prevent ear
riaces from going upon the track except when alb
selutely cafe Had these safeguards existed We
should not now deplore this sickening calamity
III. The conductor saw tho danger and tried to
step the train-which our readers will remember,
was running backward-but the bell-rcpe was out
Of ORDER so that he could not ring tho bell But for
the arrangement of this apparatus the calamity
might possibly have been avoided
w. The train was running backward at an extra
ordinary and unjustifabe rate ofspeed, considering
that the engineer could not see any obstacles On
the track. Had proper prudence been observed
in this respect many families would not now be
mourning the dead of that awful catastrophe.
V The train was out of its time. Had it
been run according to the regulations of the
road there would have been no such slaughter.
These al e the facts which form the character
Of this whole affair. They appear to us to show
copclusiyely tina. the Camden and Amboy Com
paDy Sre pccuniarly responsible to the sufferers,
and that the conductor and engiI eer are crimi-
nally responsible to the public. In any other
country than this, and we had almost written
in any other State than New-Jersey, they would
at once be arrested and tried for murder.

Pennsylvania is at last aroused, and has sternly
and boldly rebuked the slavecatching bloOdhOunds
of the Federal Government. The colored men
charged by Col. Wheeler with a sault and battery,
at the time his chattes avaled themselves of their
legal rights and left him, were on Wednesday
called up for trial in the Court Of Quarter Ses-
sons before Judge Kelley. Col Wheeler was
the chief witness and his testimony vas strong as
to the forcible carrying off Of the woman Jane.
He felt himself perfectly secure against contradic-
tion, because he thought that Jane would not dare
to venture from her hiding place while the United
States Marshal with warrant for her arrest was
ready to seize her. But yesterday. greatly TO his
astonishment, Jane came boldly into the Court
and was at once called to the stand. Her testimo-
ny fatty cOntradcted that of Wheeler and his wit
nesses. The excitement ct her appearance was
intense, for it was generally thought that the
United States Officers would take her from the
Court room as readily as from the street The
Federal District-Attorney made q movement to set
the Marshal upon her, but the State Attorney
General calmly forbade and defed him; and then the
representatives of the United States and Pennsyl-
yanis had some hard words; hut in the end the
once slave but now free woman was taken
away without molestation. Judge Kelley is said
to have behaved with great hrmness, very decided
ly assuring the Federal Officers that he was master
and the laws of Pennsylvania dominant in his
Court, and that any attempt to arrest the witness
would be at their peril

We print elsewhere several documents, &C.,
issued by the Know Notbings who scceded from
tie Philadelphia National Convention on account
of the Slavery plank in the platform. The
seceders call National Convention at Cleve-
land on the 2lst of November, when somo of the
more saneuiDe profess to believe that they will
supersede the Republican party and take the
inside TRACK for the Presidency, backed by tue
free sentiment of the North. We don't believe
this, but we shall see.

Of 1850 and prcposing to leave il on the stat,ts.

Of 1850 and proposing to leave II on the statste-
book unimpaired, nghamton charges the author
chip Of that &C on the Pierce Administ ation, de-
nounces it to universal condemnation, and resolves
that Slavery shall derive no extension thsrefrom.
PoiDtless and barren as these propositions are, 10
the absence Of corresponding action, their invcluu
tary tribute to the might Of Public Opinion is none
the less emphatic. JIencefortb, let no man deny
that New-York and tho whole North demand, and
imperatiyely insist on, the positive and effcctual
exclusion Of Slavery from Kansas. If tho point
were at all doubtful, Our Bankers and Brookses
would be the last TO concede ii.
