The ADVANTAGES OF A Coon LIBRARY
One of the advantages is keePing a circulate
ing libary for the use of our friends. Some of
our books are returned. but the majority are
lost. Ont Of those that do find their wav back,
the greater number are enriched with guam
tity of pencil marks, and most valuable mar
ginal notes. However, you must not suppose
you enjoy all the privileges of a circulating
library; for although you let ont books, I'M
derstand clearly that the borrower is by no
means answerable for the loss of them, any
more than you yourself are entitled to charge
two pence day per volume as long as they
are out Punch

KNOW NOTHING PLATFoRM.-The excuse
which some CT the doughface Know Nothings
make for the doings of the Philadelphia Con-
vention, is, that the platform adopted by the
National Council was not adopted by the NOM
mating convention. But by the rejection by
the convention which nominated Fillmore &
Donelson, of the following resolution, by
vote of al 10 so, we have its positive asser-
ton of the fact, that the platform laid down
by the Council was endorsed by the ConFen-
ton, ard its candidates put upon it,
ResoIUed, That the National Council has
no authority to establish, for this convention,
platform, and that we will nominate no per-
son for President or NiaA -p-AaiaA.as znl4a 30
So that Fillmore & Donelson stand express
ly on the platform of opposition to any pro-
hibition Of slavery from the national terrific
ries. They stand committed for the extern
sion of slavery everywhere. The Convention
which nominated them even opposed any pro-
.hibition Of it north of Sc 80.

An C1,r. session of Congress.

Congress not being able to agree on q
clause attached to the army appropriation
bill by the house refusing pay to any por-
ton of the army that might be employed
in enforcing the laws in Kansas, the bill fail
cd to pass before Congress adjourned. AS
cutting off thus all appropriate ms for the
army would involve the necessity of its vir-
tual disarmament during the year, the Pre-
sident' has issued proclamation re-assem-
bling Congress on Thursday (2lsD to vote
supplies. The following is the document ::
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas hostities exist with various In

United States, and whilst in other respects
the public peace is seriously threatened,
Congress has adjourned without gaDting the

in relation to the common defense and secu-
rity, and as an extraordinary occasion has
thus arisen for assembling the two houses OF
Congress, do, therefore, by this proclama-
ton, convene the said Houses to meet at the
capitol, in the city of Washington, on Thurs.
day, 2lst day of August, hereby requiring
the respective Senators and Representatives
then and there to assemble, and consult and
determine on such measures as the State Of
the Tn on may require.

SEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL DIs-RIcr.-The
Democracy Of the 7th district held rous-
ing convention at Marshall on Wednesday
of last week. Hon. j. c. Allen, whom the
house, after allowing him to hold his seat in
congress, finally ousted, but refused to ad-
NIT his contestant, was re-nominated, to fill
the unexpired term and the Hon. Aaron
Shaw, Of Lawrence county, was nominated
for the long term in congress. Mr.. Shaw
is one of the wheel-horses of the old de-
mocratic line; a gentleman Of fine attain
ments and Of high moral worth. He will
deal stalwart blows in the canvass in behalf
of the democracy. His associate, Mr. AL
len, is a tried man, whose name is familiar
throughout the state as a man Of talents and
an able representative of the interests of his
constituency in the house.

Convened in Extra Session under the pro-
clamation of the President on THURSDAY. "A
message was read from the President giving
his reasons for calling the extra Session,
but the telegraph communication being inter
rupted between Chicago and Buffalo, only
We find the following opening paragraphs
in the Chicago Pres of yesterday:
Fellow citizens of the Senate and House
of Representatives In consequence of the
failure of Congress at its recent session to
make provision for the support of the army
it became impertively incumbent on me TO
exercise he power which the Constitution
confers on the Executive on this exfraor Ii
nary occasion, and promptly to convene the
two Houses, in order to afford them an OPP
portunity of reconcing subject OF such
vital interest to the peace and welfare OF the
Union With the exception OF partial au-
thority vested by law in the Secretary OF
War to contract for supply OF clothing and
subsistence, the army is wholly dependent
on the appropriations made by Congress.
The omission Of Congress to act in this re-
spcct before the termination Of the present
fiscal year. had already caused embarrass-
mcnts which were overcome only IN eXpecta-
ton of appropriations before the close Of the
present month. If the requisite funds be
not speedily provided, the Executive viii no
longer be able to furnish for transportation
the equipments and munitions which are
! essential TO the effectiveness Of military
, force in the field. With no provision for
the pay Of the troops, the contract Of enlist
/ ment would be broken and the army in cf-
/ feet be disbsnded the consequences Of which
would be so disastrous as to command all
! possible efforts to avert the calamity. 1t Is
/ not merely that the officers and enlisted men
/ Of the army are to be thus deprived Of their
! pay and emolumeDts 10 which they are en-
titled by standing laws, but that the con
s;ruction of arms at tie public armories, the
. repairs and construction Of military clothing
! and amp equipage must be discontinued and
! the persons connected with this branch oi
] the nnh.iic service thus be deprived suddenly
/ Of employment essential to their subsistence
, Nor is i, merely the waste consequent upon
/ the forced abandonment Of the seahoard Tor
tit!ca,ions, and Of the interior military posts
and other establishments, and the enormous
expense OF recruiting and rc-organizing the
army and again distributing it over the vast
region which it now occupies.
These are evils which it is true may be
repaired a reaiter by taxes imposed upon
the country, bat other evils are involved
which no expenditure however iavished
/ could remedy, III comparison with which To-
: cal and personal injuries or interests sink
into insigniticauee. \ great part Of the arm
is situated OF the remote frontier.
