The LOUISIANA Know NorHIyGs-The fol-
lowing is that portion of the Platform of tho
American party of Louisiana which objects to
the application of the principles of the eighth
article of the Philadelphia Platform to Amer
can Catholics:
"While we approve of the Platform adopted
by the late National Council of the American
party at Philadelphia, we reject the application
of the principles of the eighth article to Amer
can Catholics, as unjust unfounded, and entire
ly unworthy of our country. We shall forever
continue to protest against any abridgement OF
religious liberty, holding it as a cardinal max
i'm, that religious faith is question between
each individual and his God. We utterly con-
denim any attempt to make religious belief a
test for political Office, and can never affiliate
with any party which holds sentiments not in
accordance with these"

SENATOR WILSON, of Massachusetts, is Just
now on a tour out West, making Abolition
speeches as he goes along. AT Cincinnati, on
Tuesday evening, abiding to the Slavery reso-
lutions of the National Council at Philadelphia,
from which he was seceder, he took occasion
to say:
"A recent effort had been made to commit
new and rising party to Slavery, in the Conven-
ton at Philadelphia; but, thanks to the resolu-
ton of a few, the baffled treason was exposed
Bet,oeen then. and that party there icds mar q
high ,cau and deep ditch, and they should re-
joice Just as much IN its defeat, as IN that d
Pierce and Douglas.
"While they were in favor of Freedom and
Free Soil, wherever man lives under Gods her
itage,' they were willing to leave the domestic
institutions of the States to themselves; but
wherever-not by State law, but by act of Con-
gress = Slavery existed, there they meant to
abolish it."

A FAMILY MEETING-The children of Noah
Davenport, eight in number, all met on the 2Sth
ultimo, at William Davenport's house in Spen-
certown, Columbia county, New York, in the
same house where they were all born, after a
separation of over fifty years. Their average
age was sixty. The house they met in is the
same house the father first took for home
over 20 years ago. 1t has been occupied by the
family ever since, and probably will be held by
the fourth generation.

The New YORK TRIBUNE of Saturday last
says that the number of the Era containing
our article on the change of its position in re-
lation to the Russian Question, failed to reach
it in season. We need hardly say that it was
regularly mailed at our Office, as usual
1t admits that it has changed its position, as
we showed-assumes that the Turks are to be
deprived of their territory by Russia, France,
or Encyclopedias decidedly that it should
pass into the possession of Russia-and holds
that this preference should be determined
without any reference to the origin or justice
of the war.
We believe we have given the points OF the
explanation. Hereafter we may revert to them.

Affairs inKansis.

The following article, coming from the
source 1T does, is worthy OF attention just
now. The ST. Louis Intellgencer SAYS
There are significant facts here, that give
assurance that there will be no war in
Kansas. Let us note them:
|. The extreme excitement is in Missouri
not in Kansas-the truth being as we have
said, that it is no new position in Kansas
for the territorial sheriffs to be repudiated.
2. The free state men are willing to be gov
erned by the U. S. officers and to submit to
them.
3. The militia of Kansas did not ere
spond" when Governor Shannon called them
This is a remarkable fact. The question is,
why? Did they sympathise with the free
state men? If SO, then all Kansas is against
those territorial aws---conclusive proof that
the people Of Kansas did not make and do
not approve of them.
1. The LMjsS0urianS that were preCl pitatcd
thoughtlessly into volunteering to march in
TO Kansas, only had themselves in 6 raadi
ness to move" After they think little.
they will conclude it is their duty to' move
hOnlG
3. Governor Shannon has only {" two hun
dred and fifty to three hundred men to back
him." drawn from all sources. He is wisely
waiting lOf Il SttdISF lOTC1, D;IOI5 llllICI-
ing against inlrenchments' and eleven
hundred Sharpr's rifles" and " five pieces Of.
artillery all directed by somewhat ropua-
bes and skillful military leader. at the head of
q" 100 men." Gov. Shannon don't mean to
get hurt, if he can help it. That is obvious.
6. But, most grateful and gracious fact
most cheering and pleasing Of ala 8 nee
ting is b'n9 held" to sc terminate the mat
ter. peaceabIy if possible OF course, it is.
possible.
T. 'Unless the U. S. troops are furnished"
the laws cannot be executed. This init
mateshat ON sober, second thought, the Mis-
souriai1s desire to be L" counted out of the
fight to snbiHgate the people of Kansas.
s. Nothing will be done until the u. S.
Government defines its position. Pierce
will have regard for peace, we dare say,
and so will end the Kansas civil war;
The various exciting telegra phic despatch
es now afoat, are calculated to confuse the
public mind and we have thus taken the
trouble to unravel the Kansas imbroglio.-I
We think we have done it, and that the
country can safely 60 about its business IN
disturbed by visions of torch and torture in
Kansas. We are cool and quiet in Missou-
RI AS the winter draws on, it will be very
cool in Kansas.
