VIRGINIA MODESTY.

In another place we have called attention to
q letter of Gov. Wise, which, from it's trans
ceadeut .lbsurdty and arrogance, will furnish
iuad Ct amusement to our readers for week

ANOTHER TROUBLE IN MISSOURI.

LII may be recollected that some time ago Mr..
george .. Park, one of the editors of the Park.
otSee LHne'6dry, was compelled to leave the
place, OWING to some excitement against him
on the Slavery question. He has lately been
invited 10 return, for the purpose of settling
some business involving his own interest and
that OF many of the citizens of ParkvilIe. On
nus return, a new excitement ensued, and a
private meeting of persons hostile to him, iy-
ing IN another town, was held, with view to
expei him again. This has produced reac.
t'oh IN favor OF Mr.. Park, and an address to the
people OF Platte county and of the State OF
Missouri has been issued by eleven prominent
gentlemen, as committee, declaring their
determination to resist all interference from
other quarters with their own affairs. and TO
protect Mr.. Park in the pursuit of his lawful
business and in witness of this they pledge
their lives and honor. The handful proclaim
ing this determination was dated on the 9Th
instant. The sequel of this invasion of the
right OF selfgovernment will probably soon be
known. We find by despatch from Jefferson

AMERICAN STATE COUNCIL.
Platform of Princiules.

The annual meeting of the New Hampshire
State Council was holden at Nashua On Tues
day last. Hon. Anthony Colby was unanimous
ly elected President, and the following resolu-
tons were adopted:
heS0tced, That We cordially approve the
course of the delegates from this State, who at
tended the National Council at Philadelphia
in June last, and most heartily sustain their ac.
ton In severing their connection with the pres.
ent national organization.
ReSOtred, That Freedom being national. and
Slavery sectional, while the latter is left in the
exercise of all its strictly constitutional rights
IN the States where it now exists, it's further
extension and longer connection with the Gen
eral Government should be uncompromsingly
opposed and resisted, and the laws for the ex-
ecutlon OF its existing privileges be made to
conform to the dictates of Justice and humanity.
Resotoed, That the question of the extension
OF Slavery, as now presented to the country by
the repeal of the Missouri Prohibition by the
outrages practiced in Kansas under the sane
ton OF the Administration, and by the decision
OF an arbitrary and tyrannical Federal Judge,
which, If adopted as the judicial doctrine of the
Government, will make every free State in the
Union slave territory is the paramount ques-
ton now before the nation; and that we believe
the time has arrived, VIXEN all who oppose the
further entertainments of Slavery, and would
restore the policy of the Fathers of the Repub-
lie, should unite their efforts and cooperate for
that purpose.
Resolced, That, in the judgment of this State
Council, all ceremonies of initiation into the
American party, and all obligations, except
such regulations as the councils or clubs in
their respective towns shall think proper to
adopt for their own government, be discontin-
ued and removed.
Resotccd, That this State Council fully and
unequivocaly reafrms the sentiments and
principles of the American party and adheres
to the great fundamental doctrine, that Amer
cans should rule America.
Resotced, That these resolutions be publish.
ed In the various newspapers of the State.

Our Free Soil friends in New Hampshire,
and those in ether States pursuing their policy,
are doing to-day just what they denounced,
from the year 1910 to the year 1852 in the
Wbig and Democratic Parties.
Why will not the Anti-Slavery press general
I, speak out on this subject? Why will it not
noint out clearly the obstacles interposed by
Know Nothingism to the organization of
Freedom Party? Why will it not labor to con-
vince those Ant-Slavery men who still adhere
=, the Order, of their unwise and mischievous
poIcy? An adherent of this Party, but yet
friend Of the Era, in Maine, tells us it is quite
doubtfaI whether club can be raised this year

No,hngism. Softer words" he says, might

IN hard words. We condemn the Order; we
deploro It's bad influences we indulge in no
deannciaton or elimination of its individual
adherenis. Many, we believe, are honest, and
therefore we seek TO show them better way.
Are We their enemy, because we have told them
the truth?
But. let them hear or not, we shall continue
20 INSIST, thai all issues all organizations, must
giye plac, to the one issue of Freedom, to the
one organization which seeks to unite all the
friends Of Freedom for the overthrow of the
Slave Power; and that any Party or Order
opposed to this policy, or standing in the way
ol it. whatever the feelings Of some Of lis ad-
hrr..ut,. whatever the action of some of its Sec
,ons. Is in effect an enemy of Freedom, and
.lg Of Slavery.

The financial and commercial advices brought
by the Pacific are very satisfactory. The excite

land appears, for the present at least, to have
subsidized. The Bank of England shows small
gain of bullion in its latest return. The export
of gold has been stopped, and confidence in
financial circles is comparatively restored. The
most important result Of this is the renewed
activity ir the cotton market at Liverpool,
where, for the week of present advice, no less
than 65,720 bales are reported sold Out of
this, 50,l5O are to the trade. This renewed
demand produced an advance of I'd. sterling
