Platforms Compared.

1t is sometimes asked why SO many
Democrats Of l949 refuse now to ACT
with the leaders oflhat day. The an.
swer is plain. In 1919. the leaders
adapted their platform to the views Of
the people Of Indians. They now
adapt it to the people os South Caro-.
lima. It is easy 10 see that the PEG.
ple's platform Of 1856 is substantially
the same as the Democratic platform
of ls49. Hence. the people who re,
fuse to be sold to the South stand or
it. Here are the platforms side by

What a Difference one year Makes

Last July, the Inliana Sentinel, al
lud;ng to the refusal of Gov. Reedel
to recognize the Missouri Kansas leg
islature then in session. said: as"
"Were we Gov. Of Kansas, backed
by the Administration. we would treat
that body of p,etenders, much as the
Long Parliament was treated by Crom'
well, and subject the out Jaw leaders
to test similar to that endured by the
weak and unfortunate Charles I. In
other words. as beheading is now out
Of fashion, we would hang that des-
perado SlringfeIlow, TO the FIRST tree
tina, presented the proper convenience
for little episode Of this peculiar
character. '
But 10, what change! Now thai
legislature was a legal body. its acts,
though bloody and oppressive. are
valid! Why this change? Simply
because its masters. the President and
tie shareholders say SO. Can any
sane man think the people such fools
as to be led about by such leaders!
Why should the legislature be hanged
in 1896, but 10 1856 their acts be en-
forced by hanging Reeder and others?

New UNIVERSITY IN New YORK.
Mayor Wood has sent'a special mes
sage to the Common Council of New
York, proposing the establishment
by the Corporation of great univer-
sity for the purpose Of impar.ing the
very highest order Of education, not
now to be obtained in this country,
and to be free and open to all who
will partake of its advantages" The
Mayor urges his views at considerable
length, and thinks that the realization
Of bis project will return, in all the
solid advantages Of public and individ-
ual wealth, tenfold the outlay required.
The message has created some little
excitement both in and out Of the
Boards to whom it was addressed.

favor of its nominees. His list does not
include the papers that are printed in the
interior of Pennsylvania where the people
speak the German language and have done
so ever since the State was settled.

EXCITEMENT IN ALBANY New York.
Divisions in a Chvch.-The AL
bany Evening Journal, of Monday,
7th instant, says:
Last week an exciting election for
four trustees of the German Lutheran
Church in State street, was had, which
resulted in two sets claiming to have
been elected Both parties appeared
yesterday, when one set was recogniz-
ed by the Minister. They both then
attempted, to act, when collision i'm
mediately ensued. The excitement
continued to increase until evening,
when upwards of two hundred persons
gathered in front of the church, and an
angry conversation ensued. The po-
lice finally succeeded in dispensing the
mob, and the matter will probably be
settled in a court Of justice.

committee of the City Council charg-

condition of the more wretched por-

resumed their labors, and scenes Of
sickening filth and restitution have
been brought to light. Many tene-

ventilation and every convenience, yet
overcrowded with mingled popula-
tons Of Germans, Irish and negroes,
as many as % families in one instance
being crowded under one roof. Thf .
are the plague spots were epidemics are
engendered but how to remedy this
pitiable and revolving state Of things,

poverty, and the loss of selt-respect
which it occasions and the evil may
be changed in character but not re-
moved by any mere battling with

whether any will be done. The "hor-
