Nashville daily patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1855-1857, 1856-02-15
neOrganlzlng the county Courts.

The House of Representatives yesterday
passed bill on its third and last reading,
by vote of AZ to 26, to create and regu-
late the Office of County Judge. This bill
provides that there shall be elected, by
the qualified voters of every county in the
State, person learned in the law, to be
styled the County Judge, who shall hold
his Office for the term Of four years. 1t
abolishes the Quorum County Courts, and
ccnfers upon the County Judge all the ju-
risdiction and powers now belonging to
that Court. He is to hold the County
Courts and preside at the Quarterly Ses-
s;ons, and exercise the same powers, juris-
dction and authority now exercised by the
Chairman Of the County Court He is to
have all the jurisdiction and power Of the
present County Courts over Adminjstra-
tors, Executors, Guardians, Wards, Trus-
tees, wills, dover and partition, sale or di-
vision Of lands and negroes, and all tesla
mentary and administrative matters, or
subjects connected Herewith, and questions
of lunacy. He is also constituted the az
counting officer and general agent of his
county.
The salary of the County Judge is five
dollars per day, while engaged in the dis
charge of his duties and the Quarterly
Court is authorized to make such addi-
tional compensation to the Judge as the
Court may deem right.
The election for Judge is fixed for the
first Saturday in May.
The Clerks of the County Courts are
continued in Office.
The members of the legal profession in
the House of Representatives regard this
as a very important bill and a desirable re-
form. 1t has yet to pass the ordeal Of the
Senate.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Is, 1855.
The American Platform.

The Uaioa aalI american of yesterday,
makes some comments upon the resolutions
adopted by the American State Conven-
ton last Tuesday, calculated to mislead its
readers as to their true meaning and spirit.
We propose, therefore, briefly to show,
what, properly interpreted, is their real
import, so far as slavery issues are con-
Cerned.
The first resolution is a formal re-en-
dorsement Of the principles of the Phila
delphia Platform TO what does that plat
form pledge the party in regard to the laws
on the subject of slavery, and issues grow
ing out Of the slavery question? Itpledg
es them
lst "To abide by and maintain the ex-
listing laws upon the subject of slavery, as
a final and conclusive settlement Of that
subject, in spirit and in substance"
ID To deny the power Of Congress to
legislate upon the subject Of slavery in the
States where it does or may exist.
3D. To deny the power Of Congress to
exclude any State from admission into the
Union because its constitution does or does
not recognize the institution Of slavery as a
part Of its social system.
The laws upon the subject Of slavery"
referred 70 above are:
THE ComPromise Lars Of 1850, embracing
The FHgiiire Stare Lar, and
TEc Haasas-NeJrqsIa Acis.
This is good, sound, national doctrine,
which should command the confidence and
support Of every man, North and South,
who would free the country from the agita-
ton Of exciting sectional issues detrimen-
tai to, and .jeoparding, our free Institutions.
Bat, the State Convention, determining
that there should be no misunderstanding of
its position, 40 room to doubt its ortho-
doXy on the slavery question, went further
still, and declared in the 81 resolution
Ist. That it denied that " Congress pos
sesses any power to legisIate upon the sub
ject Of slavery in any way"
%. That the people of a Territory have
no power either to institute or abolish
slavery, until the formation of State Gov
eminent.
These two points embrace the Slavery
question" in all its political aspects, deny
ing to Congress alike the powers embraced
in the denial of the Philadelphia Platform,
stated above, and the power
tn oJolish slqrery IN the District If Co
lpnJiq;
To oJoli@ sloreyy IN III, Arscnaly and
DocE Yards oftle Gorernmcnt;
Or to abolish slarery in any Of the Terri
tories.
The Sd resolution also commits the Par
ty against the doctrine of "Squatter Sever
eighty"
With these explanations there can here
after be no excuse for misunderstanding
the meaning and purport of the American
Platform. No party ever adopted a sound
er one. Ituttcrly repudiates the doctrine
Of ignoring the slavery question:" ant
requires all Americans, everywhere, to re-
cognize the rights of the South.

From the Hrntsvile ts'a) Independ n.
In speaking of the late Kansas Message of the
President the Advocate says:
"Tbs message has thrown the abolition papers
into terrible rage. They abuse him for it most
ierocousy. 1t is well received 10y the South and
by patriotic national men"
Thrown the abotionists into a rage Good God
for what? Is it because it avows in the broadcast
terms the odous doctrine OF Squauer Sovereignty,
and secures, according to Mr. Cambreeug, seUen
new States for abolition? or is it because he
the people Of Missouri that il is his duty and his
intention to employ the military forces Of III, Uni
ted States to make Kansas free territory? Read,
men Of the South and ponder upon the significant
declaration that we cut from that message, and
which seems to have so delighted the editor Of the
Advocate:
And if the Territory be invaded by the citjzehs
Of other States whether for the purpose If decdo,g
elections or for any other purpose and the local au-
thorites iud themselves unable to rcpcl or with.
stand IT, they will be entitled to- and upon the fact
being fully ascertained, they shall most certainly
receive, the aid of the General Government"
H,Dalsd BIZ the citizens Of other States The very
language is borrowed from abolition papers" It's
whole design is TO tickle abolition fancies.
According to our recollection, but a few days
have rolled awav since the citizens OF this place
were addressed by Mr. White Of Kansas We
saw there number OF the leading Sag NIGHTS of
Madison. We heard that they had contributed
their money freely TO aid h- plans tor making Kan
sas a slave State; and know that his declaration
that if the old citizens OF Kansas could not roe the
Territory a slave State they intended to make it so
by force, was received with rounds Of applause
Was that all "souud and fury, slInitying nothin2:'
II not, how do they ike the Presidential lash which
is brandished before their eyes? How DO they like
the chains aud the gibbet with which Mr.. Pierce
threatens to welcome them?
But the occasion calls for questions addressed to
other and to higher quarters. Where WAS Virginia
when that degrading treat rang through the Sen
ate chamber? Alas the old commonwealth is no
longer like the Mother Of the Gmccli When the
Roman mother was asked for her jewels, she point
I'd to her HrjHg sons. When the same question Is
put 10 the Mo,her OF SJIes, her finger turns slowly
10 the graveyard Where was South Carolina
uayne, Calhoun, and McDutlie are gone, and the
