THE CRiTIcs.-The Platform set up BY
the Philadelphia Convention has effectually
taken the wind out of the sails of the oppo.
sition journals. True, they pretend to find
an immense deal of fault, criticise it with
dreadful severity, and even ridicule that SEN
timent which recognizes and acknowledges
a firm reliance in the Almighty Being who
rules over the Universe; but so far all their
objections and criticisms are of the most pue.
rifle and silly character, so much so that any
editor who has adecent respect for the intel,
ligence Of his readers ought to be ashamed
to parade such nonsense before them. One
paper down South deyotes four awful col.
nn,ns to what il calls dissection of the
Platform" and there is one sentence in the
whole article that will bear the test of candor
and fair dealing, we were unable to discover
it-but, on the contrary, much to make the
writer ridiculous. And so through the whole
class of journals criticising the American
Platform-they are only making themselves
ridiculous, if not something worse. Perhaps
they can't help it. The poet probably had
such critics in his eye when he wrote:
"Some neither can for wits or critics pass,
AS heavy mules are neither horse nor ass "

on the 9th ult., by General Santiago Viduri,
in the morning, and captured after short
engagement, together with the Black Fort
and all that it contained.
Governor Cardona and about 60 officers
were taken prisoners. All the arms and
ammunition, together with thirty pieces of
cannon fell into the hands of the insurgents.
This is a deathblow to Santa Anna.

A NUT.-lt is frequently asserted by Sag
NIGHTS that there are but few foreigners in
Tennessee and there is therefore no necessity
for an American party here. The attention
Of such is invited to the following facts:
FACT lst. Joshua B. Giddings of Ohio, the
High Priest of Aboliilonism in that State is
down upon the American party, because Il
change in the naturalization laws would ruin
SambO. He says there are 10000 abolition
foreign votes in Ohio.
FACT 3D. In\Visconsin It is the same way.
The majority Of the population of that young
State is foreign born, and they have elected
n Freesoiler to the Senate and passed reso-
buttons denunciatory 0: the Know Moth
ings.
FACT Sd. The Nebraska and Kansas Bill
admits unnaturalized foreigners to vote, in
those territories, with view to make them
free soil.
As in Ohio, Wisconsin and other North
Western States, so it is every where. The
Foreigners go out to the common territories
and vote every time against the South
Is there not then necessity for National
al American Party to check these abu-
SEES.

OFT The opposition papers and orators are

s3- Much excitement prevails in Maine
and massachusetts in relation to the liquor
laws OF those States. The Lowell Courier
states that on Monday night of last week
two'horse Boston wagon, laden with FIVE
casks of liquor, was seized in Central street
by the night police, and the driver and Mr..
John Johnson, who was riding with him,
were arrested and locked up in the watch.
house. In the morning the liquor was taken
to the city agency for storage. As it was
understood that the liquor was on its way to
New Hampshire, an interesting and important
question is made rs to the right of property
an tranSitu between the States. But for
Portsmouth harbor, New Hampshire could
import no liquor save through Maine or
Massachusetts.

LIST, 1855, to his constituents declining u re-
election, the candor of which he has recently
illustrated, he takes occasion to inform the
public that his declenson was not because
OF any lack of confidence in the policy or in
tegrlty of the present chief executive of the
nation," &c.-showing not only his acquies-
ence in, but approval of the policy of the
President in his condemnation of the very
measures upon which Col. Smith staked his
election, and upon which he went to Con-
gress.
But so far from attempting in this canvass
to account for the way in which he redeemed
his solemn pledges made in the last, Col.
Smith, so far as we have heard him, though
called upon BY his competitor, passes these
matters over in dignifed silence, simply re-
marking that his acts are upon the record
and he is willing to be judged by that record
when he well knew the record is only in
the hands of one man in each county, aud
frequently not even that, and that not one
out Of every thousand voters in this district
will ever see it until after the election. But
a faint ray of hope dawned upon us the other
day, and we thought we might yet be able to
see something of his efforts to serve his con.
stituents, when in reply to an article in this
paper suggesting an abuse of the ranking
privilege, he stated in rather Wanting style
that the document franked was one that his
constituents were Interested in, that il con.
tanned part of his speech, Well, we thought
now that speech might throw some light on
! his efforts in behalf of the Rabun Gap Rail.
road, and might explain why he didn't gel
the million and quarter of acres of public
lands. But what must have been our sur.
prise to find, upon looking into the document
that same speech of the Col, in which he
thought his constituents had so deep an in
terest as 10 justify, to say the least of it, a
very questionable use of his frank, amounted
simply to glowing eulogy upon Catholic
piety and foreign patriotism, interlarded with
pretty heavy denunciations of his own Pro.
testaht eountrymen and furious onslaught,
upon the Know Nothngs. Were not the
| Col.'sconstituents more interested to know
what services he has rendered the people o.
his district, if any; and if none, what use
have they for his future services, and wha
use could there bein foistins him again before
the country ut this late stage in the canvass
at so manifest an injury to his own private
affairs! Let the people answer.

SLAVES Protected BY LAw.-The most
telling answer to the charges made bv nboli-
tionists says the New Orleans Visa Wis, that
slaves are not protected by law in the South,
is the case of the State of Louisiana, vs..
Hunter, in which defendant is charged with
selling slave and separating the mother
from her children, contrary to the statute in
such cases mad, and provided. On last Fri
day. the accused pleaded guilty, and was SEN
fenced by Judge Robertson, to II fine of one
Thousand dollars, six months Imprisonment,
and forfeiture of the slaves.

sW- A call was made through our paper

SLAVERY IN KANSAS AND NEBRAsKA-A
correspondent Of the Missouri Republican
writes from Kansas to that journal, under u

"The friends of the South and of the On.

on the willow, and sit down on the Eastern
banks of the Mississippi, and weep; for tho
fate of Kansas is settled goriousIy. Mis-.

ence socially and morally, as to change the
political opinion of many Of the Freesoers
who have been sent here BY the Aid Society,"
1t is only here and there in limited localities
that you find any number of AboIitonists,and
they operate against their own cause. They
never will be able to control any influence or
to effect anything of moment.
$50 strong, general and pcrvading is the
pro slavery sentiment that it has extended
even to Nebraska, and we find the Nebraska
City News enlistng under its banner, and

Southern portion of that Territory. Sever
