Not So.

There are couple Of lies floating about
in newspapers, through which we put a pin.
The Temperance .Sdudurd says Governor
Royce has joined the X. Ms, induced to DO
so by the St Adams Messenger and Rut-
land Herald, in order to secure rcnomina-
ton. Gov. Royce has not joined the order,
aud the idea that he should do so to secure a
denomination is utterly absurd. No sane
man ever doubted his e-nomnation.
The Temperance Standard also states that
the Governor Royce has given an nconfi-
honai pardon to Bristol Bill This is not
uue. We are assured, on wh-t we regard
TO be reliable authority, that the statements
Of the Standard, and also in the Caledonia
County papers, have not been warranted by
the Governor

The Know Something Plat
form.

The following declaration of principles
was adopted at the recent Know Something
Convention at Cleveland. We have already
given the substance Of it by telegraph, but
now lay the whole before our readers;
NATIONAL PLATFORM OF THE KNOW SOME
THINGS, ADOPTED AT CLEVELAND,
JUNE Ii, 1855
AS servility TO the Slave Power character
ICES the national organization of the exist
ing political parties, and us this ser,ility Is
perilous both to the MANHOOD of the North
and the LIBERTY Of the Republic,
We Declare:
First. That the issue before the Ameri-
can People is tcheiher Freedom shall be limit
ed 10 The Free States, whether Slavery shall
be limited to the Slave States.
Second. That this issue has been forced
upon the country by the Slave Power
through repeated aggressions, and by acts
which have violated national faith. solemn
compacls, and slcred covenants.
Third. That these aggrcssions especial
ly the Nebraska outrage, with the brutal as
sault upon the elective franchise in Kansas,
have aroused frecmen of the Republic 10
just sense of their duty and their danger
and though they will invade M right of any
dom, and resist the admission of another
Stare STATE or the addition Of another foot of
Stare Soil
Fourth. That we shall meet this issue
thus forced upon MS, in the spirit our fathers
met the issue of their day and believing as
they believed that rightiuly man can hold
no property in man, we will maintain the Ma
TIoNALITr of Freedom.
Itrb That Eraodop, bo;r. ono l.. =.
and end the world over. the friends of Free
dom in this Republic should make Princi.
pies and Character, not birthplace, the test
of admission TO citizenship and its constitu,
tonal rights.
lind nee further declare
S,rih. That the right to worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of indiyi 'ual consci.
cnce being inyiolabe, we will labor to
strengthen this great immunity through wise
State laws but we will repel every politico>
ecclesiastical Interference in political affairs
by potcntate, pontf or priest, or their abet-
tors, as destructive alike of this right and
our common liberty.
Serenth. That Intemperance being an
evil, we recommend to the several States
such action for the promotion of Temper
ance as viii extend and establish that viz
tue.
Eighth. That Free Schools, Free Labor,
the Improvement Of River. and llarbors,
an honest Republican Official Representa-
ton Abroad, all measures that tend To elev-
ate MAN, establish the material prosperity Of
the country, and give stability to the Union,
shall receive our hearty support.
Ninth That to insure practical success
we will strive to on all Offices with men of
undoubtcd integrity and sobnety. OF ability,
and OF nerve to resist aggression upon Right,
come when where or in what shape II may.
Tenth. That for these objects, vital alike
to Humanity and the Republic, We are ready
10 unite with all men, under whatever name
or organization, who will aid us IN carving
into successful operation these grea, prin-
ciples.

Look oui, Oiivei ! There is an old Dem
crat of excellent meino-y among the readers
Of the Waterman, who is watching Oliver

main doing justice to and heartily enjoying
divers yarns Of the old campaigns Lest
we forget them, we will now notice the prn-

meeting and then adopted the resolutions
privately. Instead Of that, they were refer

on the eve Of March meeting, called another
County Convention TO meet at Montpelier
and act on The subject. This time the War
Party, by missives duly distributed to the
faithful on March meeting day, quietly warn.

morning session parties were divided nearly
equally, but the officers and majority of
the committee on resnlniinns were s'"-.. =,
the an,i~War party. In the afternoon, how
ever, the War men brought on large rein

Two reports were made by the committee
by the majority, against the War--by the
minority, the other way. A long debate en-
sued: the antl-war men talked against time,
but the War men OF the distant towns stood
to their posts manlully. Finally, the anti.
war men saw it was Of no use to stay lon
ger, and began to drop Off Judge Bukley
(lhe President mus, milk his cows, and the
majority kindly permitted it, putting Judge
Ware into his seat--and so the changes
went on until the War party got their mcu

adopted the War resolutions. Their triumph
was complete and The whole story was of.

Vermont. holden ON the 9th Of June and the
18th Of July, 1854.
2. Resolved. That as by open perhdy
former Compromises on Slavery have been
rendered morally null and void and fu-
ture COMPROMISES morally impossible, we
hereby forswear all Compromises, past or
future. the Fugitive Slave law of 1850 10.
cluded,n and plant ourselves imnutably upon
the Platform Of the Fathers of the Republic,
as practically enunciated in the Ordinance OF
l7S7-" No SLAVERY OUTSIDE OF THE
SLAVE STATES"
3. Resolved, That the late infaction, by
force, of the right Of settlers in Kansas to the
free and undisturbed exercise Of the elective
franchise, was an outrage which must be re-
pudated, in all its consequences, by the Ma
tiona Executive and by Congress, IN obedl-
ence to that clause of the Constitution which
guarantees to the American people "A Re-
publican form Of Government" and in re-
spect to the supreme right of American Citi
zens to cast their sufirages unswerved by
favor and unawed by force.
T. Resolved That clinging to the Federal
Union and Government, in their original puri-
~, as the rock of National Liberty, National
Defence, National Peace and National Pros
perity, and regarding Slavery as the source
Of real danger to their perpetuiiy, a final and
irrtroc1ble settlement ofthe slavery question Is
in our judgment the first and imperative duty
Of every Statesman and Patriot.
3 Resolred, That in the sentiment Of
d" No SLAVERY OUTSIDE OF TnE SLAVE
STiTEs"-"SLAvERr LOCAL, FRrEDom Ma
TIoNAL"- implying that Slavery, as a local
evil and the creature Of local law, is to be
left forever undsturbed by the Federal Gov
eminent in the States where II exists, and its
extension beyond that limit forever excluded
by positive prohlhition--we find a ground Of
settlement, Just alike TO the slave States and
the free, and therefore practicable and wise.
For such settlement, we pledge our sup
port, and hereby invite the cooperation OF
all the States of the Union disposed to meet
the question in the spirit of justice and patri-
Otsm.
6. Resolved, that we cordially commend to
the freemcn of Vermont STrrBEN Rover
for Governor, RrLANp FLFrcnrR for Lieut.
Governor, and HENaY NJ. BArEs for Tfea-
surer, pledging for ourselves hearty sup
port at the polls.
2. Resolved, That the prohbuory liquor
system, adopted by tins state, has by its sal
utary influence commended itself 10 the sup
port of the people, aud that we are opposed
TO any alteration of the existing law on that
subject, except such as may be necessary to
give 1t greater efficiency.
After the unanimous adoption Of the pre-
amble and resolutions the Convention adjourn
