she wastes her substance in the encourage
ment OF foreign enterprise. Her best State
Rights doctrine, at last, is to educate her sons at
home, and to strengthen, improve, and develop
her own resources. How many miles Of rail-
way could be laid by the money which is reck-
lessly fayished by Southern young men in
Northern colleges? 1t is scarcely hyberbole
to say that they might be laid soih gold
But there is higher and holier conside-
ration connected with this subject. The loss
which the South sustains in money by this
system is not to be compared with the danger
which she incurs by the education of her sons
in northern abolition colleges. The plastic
minds of youth are easily impressed by the
plausible sophistries of their preceptors. And
when they become hardened by years, how diff
cult is tito efface the deeply craven impression.
Error when once possessed Of the fortress of
the mind, does not easily capitulate. Pride
and prejudice come to its aid, and carry the
day against truth and reason. We fear no ad-
versary when openly opposed to us. But the
insiduous Influences which are exerted over
the youthful mind, when judgment is scarcely
ripened by experience, may frequently result
in the most injurious effects.
To those among us especially who are so
ready in popular meetings to denounce north
ern aggression, we would appeal. We have
known such men, who were sound and reliable
on the sectional questions Of the day, and
who in the excitement of their feelings were
almost ready for immediate dissolution of the
Union, while their sons were imbibing the
federal doctrines of the Dane school in Cam
bridge, or hanging upon the eloquence of an
Abolitionist In Faneuil Hall.
With solemn earnestness, arising from the
Importance of the interests at stake, we appeal
to the South to consider we'll the subject to
which we have thus briefly alluded. Train
your sons at home, amid the institutions under
which they must live, and which they may be
summoned to defend. II you would have their
views enlarged and cultivated by intercourse
with other sections, let them travel and learn
the great lessons of life from their own obser-
vations on society, rather than in the lecture
room of an abolition professor. Above all,
let it never be said again that southern young
man contributes to the wealth of mammoth
corporation, which, in its choice of a Professor
Of LAW, discards as unworthy of their confidence
the man who would defend the LAWS Of his
country against the base assaults Of a fanatical
mob.

THE NEW HAVEN DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM.

We publish, in another column, the resolu
tions of the Democratic Convention Of Connec.
ticut, held in New Haven on the l4th instant
These resolutions are eminently conservative,
and breathe the pure spirit of Constitutional
Democracy. 1t is refreshing to see the Repub
lican party, surrounded as it is at the North by
so many unwholesome influences, thus battling,
undismaYed, for the principles which has so
long governed them. They have our cordial
wishes for their triumph in the contest which
they are about to enter. The notification ac-
ton of the last Legislature of Connecticut,
practically abrogating the Fugitive Slave law
is sternly and justly rebuked by these resolu-
tions-the designs Of the so called American
party are exposed, and the unconstitutionality
Of its policy is established-and just tribute
is paid to the Administration for the wholesome
exercise Of its executive interference in pre-.
venting the passage of the River and Harbor
bill and the INDECENT Insane bill.
We gladly give place in our columns to
such an expression Of good old Democratic
doctrines, and predict that, with such a plat.
form as this, and under the lead of the selected
champions Of the Convention, the Democratic
party will once more prevail, despite the varied
elements of opposition arrayed against it
Washington sentinel., 1855-02-18

Ii is much to be regretted that at such
crisis as the present. when union and harmony
are 20 important TO Democratic success, the
ieuds which have so long existed in New York
should have broken out in the new and Golden
State Of California. Dissensions, growing out
Of personal rivalries and ambitions, have para
lyzed the strength Of our party in New York, and
given over the reigns of government to banded
and unprincipled factions. Unless the unfor.
tunate dissensions that have sprung up in Cali
forna shall be speedily healed, it is much to be
feared that the same sad results will follow.
Principles ought to be held dearer than men,
however pure their characters, great their
talents and eminent their public services But
principles are in imminent peril when private
passions and personal preferences are per-
mitted TO obtain an undue influence.
The recent efforts TO harmonic the Demo.
cratic party in California with the view Of
electing United States Senator, have thus far
proved unsuccessful. It's members have be-
come estranged and separated, and formed
themselves into different factions.
One OF the California papers, which invokes
united and harmonious action, and advises ad-
herence to principles, rather than men, states
that in the joint convention for the nomination
Of Senatorial candidate, the name of the Hon.
J. A. McDougal was withdrawn by his friends
in order to harmonic the action of the conven.
tion. They thus set noble example to the
friends of the other aspirants Senator Flint.

Russian HumOr.

A French officer serving before Sebastopol
tells the following story in private letter to a
friend in Paris, which shows that Russian SOL
diers are not deficient Of humor:
I'VE often see a white flag hoisted to the
top of pole, and hear the trumpetsound in
the Russian ambuscades. This Of course means
flag Of truce At once the FIRE ceases, and a
vast number Of heads are seen to pop up from
under the earth to the open air. The Russians
hold up to the French, bottles and glasses, as if
they invited them to drink each others health.
The French reply by aourishing their tin cans;
and then they pledge each others health
The bearer Of the flag of truce advances on
horseback, stops at about one hundred PAGES
from our trenches, while the nearest French
officer goes forward to receive the dispatches.
/ yesterday witnessed a meeting of the kind
The parlementaire courteousy took his glove
from his right hand, and shook that of a cap

him. So you see the Russians are not the Cos

eral McDougall, and believe him eminently
qualified for the high and honorable position
TO which his friends desire TO see him elevated.
His warm and generous hcart-his nobility
OF mind-his patriotism and great legal ability
and above all his devotion to the mighty inter
ests OF this young Empire OF the Pacific, pre-
eminently mark him as the man for the times.
But sir, crisis has arrived threatening the
existence of the great party Of progress to
which he has ever been deyotedly attached.
Therefore, deprecating the spirit of faction,
which to subserye personal ambition now seeks
to rend asunder the political brotherhood Of

discourage faction in the Democratic party.
We hope that the Democrats of California will
not permit personal attachments or dislikes to
stand in the way of harmonious action. 1t is
of the first Importance that Democratic Sena

union and harmony. 1t will infallibly be de
