ence OF ms ienoW citizens at the Court-Ho use on
Saturday last. We were not present hnt boTa
heard many speak of his speech since who saw thai
it was one of his most happy efforts, and that il
convinced many who have always opposed him in
politics, that his position in regard to know-notb-
ingism is right and that they will vote for him
against his know nothing competitor. The friends
of Mr. Smith, in other counties of the district may
rest assured that Bradley county will do all her du-

HEAVY RAIN-SToRM AT PITTSBURGH. On Satur-
day night last, Pittsburgh and vicinity was visited
by very heavy rair.storm. The whole county for
miles around was flooded with torrents of rain,
and all the streams, particularly those to the North
and West were sweled beyond the capacity of their
banks, and ran wild over meadows and gardens, de-
stroying the grain, sweeping away fences, and max
ing sad work with the vegetables.

Majority against il,


know-nothings in such exstacies THIS heavy una
iority not only o0tea against the platform, but ut
terry repudiated it, and withdrew from the conven-
tionl So we see that, against this platform. there
is majority of more than 100 900, ao5o, aoiiags
The know nothing platform, on which southern
men are asked to stand, is in minority in the
know nothing councils
The case might be made still worse for the
know nothings but this view of it is bad enough.
Thus, in New York and California, which States
are set down as voting for the platform, the views
OF the seceders are VIGOROUSLY the views of the
great mass Of the opponents Of the regular demo-
cratic party. The know-nothings have 40 hope of
carrying either State. Every free State which the
know-nothings have carried or have any hope of
carrying seeded from the convention and repudi-
Eted the platform.
What, then,--and this is the important question
have the Southern people to gain by adopting
this know-nothing patform2 No know-nothing
viii have the erontery to assert that on the slave
ry question, it is as sound as the National Demo-
cratic Platform. And the impudence is absolutely
intoleTeble which asks southern wings and demo-
Gratis to abandon their old organizations for the
purDose of uniting with one which, in the free
States, has resolved itself into fanatcal abolition
party. Surely such democrats as have been Sc
duced into the order must see in this ANALYSIS of
know.nothing strength north and south suff-
Gent reason for instantly abandoning it, and renew
ing their connexion with the GREAT NATION
Al DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

We place little reliance on this statement as to
exact numbers. We know it to be incorrec as to
Tennessee. There are not two-thirds of sixty
thousand know-nothings in this State But it is
no doubt as correct as to one State another; and
for the purpose for which we now wish to use it,
the exaggerations on one side will balance those
on the other. We wish to show, as We can coz
clusivey, that the platform, which seems to afford
southern know nothings so much satisfaction, al
though adopted by majority of the States, was
rejected BY an immense majority of the know
nothings.
All the slave States voted for the platform, to-
gether with New York ard California The num-
Der of know-nothiDgs claimed in the affirmative

The following abstract contains the es-
sentials of the celebrated "Act to protect
the rights and liberties of the people of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts" lately
passed by the Legislature of that State over
Gov. GARDNER's veto. 1t will be seen that
it completely utilities the fugitive slave law.

The law establishes

of fugitive slaves, and trial by jury.
2. Heavy fines and the State prison for
FIVE years for. any person who shall attempt
to carry off, unlawfully, or shall come into
the State for the purpose of SO carrying off,

8. That no state officer shall be allowed
to do anything in behalf of the return of a
fugitive to his master, and that Judge Lor-
ing shall be compelled expressly to resign

The New Gold DfgSings.
Fort SMITH, May DIST. 1855.


The gold fever here has just broke out in
Jew place. The richest gold mines in the
known world have just been discovered on the
Red Fork of Arkansas, and our people up here
are greatly excited, and many are making
preparations to leave for the new gold diggings
as soon as they can lay in supplies, which are
tolerably scarce in these parts just at this
time.
| have Just had Il conversation with Mr..
Rhea who is now here, and he informs me
that the mines were discovered by some Mis-
sourians, who are said to have washed out
500 per day to the hand, with nothing but
common wash-bowl. Delegations from differ
ent portions of Washington county waited on
these men who had returned from the mines,
and found their accounts so fattering that
several companies have gone from Washington
county, and some three thousand men have al
ready left from Southern Missouri, Mr. Rhea
has no doubt but there is now at least four
thousand persons at work in the newly dis
covered mines.
The Red Fork gold mines are about two
hundred and fifty miles northwest from Fort
Smith, and are said to be in the Cherokee
Nation. What Uncle Sam and the Chcrokees
will do in the premises, should the mines prove
10 be in the Cherokee country, is rather diff
cult to determine; but one thing is certain, if
gold be as plenty as it is said to be at these
mines, there is no such thing as keeping the
American people from the gold diggings.
This information as to the mines, is founded
entirely upon hearsay, but is believed to be
true here. J.w ".

is now nearly half million strong, and is in a
condition of the highest efficiency. Of this
immense force, thirty thousand are troops in
the Queens service, and forty thousand are
European troops in the service of the East
India Company. The gentleman named re-
Gently submitted q motion for the appoint
ment of q committee to consider how the army
in India might be made most available for the

to be taken, if it should be deemed expedient
to constitute the army Of the East India Co.,

LAND WARRANs.-We were shown to-day,
by Judge Stevens, some of the new land war
rants, which we think are the most perfect
specimens of engraving we ever saw. The
vignette is picture of the battle of New
Orleans, exquisitely done, in the centre of
which is Gen jackson, the hero of that battle,
surrounded by his staff. On the right of the
bill is portrait of R. Broadhead, Senator,
and on the left a portraiS of r. McClelland,
Secretary of the Interior. On the top corners
are the shields, with stars in blue, and the
figures "l2O," the number of acres. On the
lower corners are views of peace, and calling
to arms. A medallion of Washington is at
the foot of the Warrant. The design through
out is excellent, and each one is worthy of q
gold frame.-Bufaio Republic.
