SOME COMFORT.

+ Our Tennessee Know Nothing
friends may console themselves that,
if the second Philadelphia Conven-
ton has ignored Slavery and the 18th
section and kicked the Southern
Platform to the dogs, it still avo US a
belief in the existence Of aSupreme
Being" That is some comfort, and
every little helps in dry time.
Upon a second thought, we fear
that sound item in the second Phila-
delpiha Platform, a 'belief in the ex-
istenca Of a Supreme Being" is moi
80 comforting as it might be. We are
afraid it is mere "dead faith" and
will be attended with no fruits. The
"Supreme Being" too, may not be
the Supreme Being of Holy Writ.

|ernors of Ohio, Rhode Island, and
New York have sent violent Kansas
messages to their Legislatures, inyo.
king aid against the pro-slayery men
