Glasgow weekly times. (Glasgow, Mo.) 1848-1861, 1856-03-20

In the recent arrangement Of The mails,
and the telegraph, no reliable account of the
action Of the Convention was received, and
as that body had rather tumnhuous sess-
ion, the scraps Of intellgen ce that did get
out, were anything but encouraging 10 the
friends of the American movement, and
were seizedupon with avidity by lis enc
mics, distorted, and made even worse than
they really were. But now we have the
whole proceedings Platrorm--ond the
nominations, and challenge the antics TO do
their worst. We see some things in the
proceedings we do not like--some things in
the Platform we do not like-.-while the
nominations meet our most cordial approval,
and we waive our dislikes, and shall Use all
the exertions in our power TO promote the
election Of the ticket nominated. A full sy-
nopsis Of the proceedings will be found in
another column, taken from the Brunswick
er, furnished that paper, we presume, by
Mr.. BELL, who was delegate. Our enc
mics will, Of course, carefully read it, and
our friends should do the same.
The Platform is essentially the old, twelfth
ction and al, though we IN " expect to herr
different story from the antics. They will
swear the old platform was repealed TO catch
northern abolition aid, in the face of the
fact that the Black Republicans boiled from
the Convention, on the platform, and in tie
face of the fact that the whole abolition par
ty are not only denouncing the platform, but
the candidates. Here is what GREELEY,
Gin his New York Tribune,) says of the
platform, which every American should cut
out, and carry in his vest pocket, 10 read TO
antics who have SO lately fallen in love with
tile old platform:
"It will be seen that these declarations
endorse the Nebraska bill, and agree to ad-
nit Kansas with or without slavery. They
are pbrased in The softest possible terms, ,
but whoever reads them carefully, will see
that they fully adopt everything obieo,iona-
Bile in the Kansas Nebraska bill, and con-
denim the only feature of that measure which
tdUored Freedom = namely, the right of the
free emigrant 10 have voice against Sldre-
~ in the Territories. Such is the new Ma
tional Know Nothing Platform.
SIS there any need TO go further in the
way Of exposing the position of the Know
Nothing party on the slavery question? We
have seen great ado made over the twelfth
section at Philadelphia, aud beheld it indig-
nantly repudiated, yet only TO be followed by
the above substitute. What choice is there
between the tovelfh section and the ne,c creed 7
Does not every body see, who wishes to see,
that The one position is as essentially Pro-
Slavery as the other, and that the Kno,u-
.Moihings are acting directly in the interests
Of The siare traders :"
GREELEY also stigmatizes FILLMORE as
the "signer of the abominable fugitive slare
act," and DoNELsoN as the 'owner and dri-
yer of an hundred slaves," and our GREENS,
and JAcKsoNs, and CLAIMS, are check by
jrwl with GREELEY, in denouncing the A
merican nominations, and their PLATFORM
We envy them not their company, and the
people of this section will cut loose from
them, and let them and their abolition friends
60 down together.
Our Platform is National-our men are
Newfoundland the National, Union loving
and DEMONSTRATING citizens will rally upon,
the one and round the other, and beat down
the sectional, disunion, law breaking aboli-
ton and foreign crowd that is bowling in
concert after them.
To your posts, Americans! Do your du
iy at all times, and in all places, and glo.
rious triumph will crown your efforts!
