THE "MAsoEIc GRIP."-At the festival of
the Provincial Grand Lodge, at Glasgow, Sir A.
Alison mentioned that during the assault on
the Redan, small party Of soldiers led up to
one ofthe guns placed in recess, were recei-
we'd by body of Russians, and the English Of
fcer was about to be bayoneted, when, chanc-
ing to catch the hand Of the Russian officer, he
had presence of mind enough to give him a
masonic grip. The Russian in a moment struck
up the bayonet Of his soldier, led his newly
found brother to the rear, and treated him with
all the kindness of a mason!

CrNrn1ANA. Feb. 23d, 1856.

OYNTIIANA, rep. Z0u, 1O0O.
Mr.. EDIToa:-Last Thursday the monoto-
ny ola cold and dreary winter was changed
in our village by part of the Old Line Dem
cratic troop coming out, and enlightning be-
nighted minds, in relation to our duty to our
selves, to our God, and to the Old Line candi-
dates in particular. They commenced with a
TRADE of abuse against the American party, and
ended much in the same strain.
Col. Drew, of your city, attempted to give
the Indiana Liquor Law particular jesse, F." but
his mouth would not go off very glibly. He
was pale, nervous and excited, and his signal
failure, was attributable the steam being a lit
tie too low and it not convenient to fire up be-
fore speaking time. He called the law dam
nlble Know Nothing concern, though he never
mentioned, that the bill actually originated in
the Old Line Senate; that the cider clause was
retained by the casting vote of the would be
Old Line Governor, A. P Willard, and that
the Old Line Governor Joe. Wright, signed it.
He never told US that on joint ballot, there
was Old Line majority enough to prevent an
election of United States Senator.
The climax was capped by Judge Lockhart,
another distinguished parsonage of your city.
Baser sophistry was never used by any one.
He attempted to prove, that all the blessings OF
religious and political liberty were obtained by
tlAo energy and influence of Catholicism. He
said, Catholic France sent Catholic Lafayette
to fight our battles. Jimmy must think the
Cynthianians are perfect asses. Any schoo
boy knows, Lafayette came to the United States
Of his own accord, and with his own money
He said there was no difference between the
Old Line Wing, and Old Line Democratic par
ties. therefore the Wings know where to find
particular friends. The Judge knows better
or else he is a yeritable Know Nothing.
The whole affair passed off with drag; not
word was said about the object of the calling
together, but the universal opinion is, eight
dollars day, roast beef and mileage.

Portsmouth Grstitrde.


The City Council of Portsmouth, Va, which
town was so badly afflicted in common with
Norfolk by the Yellow Fever visitation last
summer at late meeting unanimously passed
the following resolution:
Reso3Ue3 By the Common Council Of the
town Of Portsmouth, including Gosport and
Newtown, representing the people thereof, and
speaking in their name and stead, and by and
through their authority, that, impressed with
sentiments Of profound gratitude, the thanks
of this entire community are hereby rendered
to the benevolent people of the states of Me-,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Delaware, the District Of Columbia,
Maryland and Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina. Georgia Alabama, Mississippi Lou
isiana, Florida, Texas Kentucky, Indiana, and

men who composed the several relief commit
tees within their borders-to all the churches;
to their Humane Associations, Societies, Fra
ternities, and Public Works and work shops,
in which are included all conditions, protes-
sions and employments of men-to the rail-
roads and steamboats,, which kindly conveyed
over their lines free Of charge the physicians
and nurses, and all others who came to our re-
lie.-tO all those bene' client people, men, wo-
men and even little children, who RENTED to
us ample means both in money and provis-
ions, and administered to US in a season of ca
lamity and distress unparalleled; alternating
our burdens, and abundantly and munifcently
supplying all our wants.

Competition for Prizes.

While our County Fair was in progress last
Fall, we stated that the elegant "boy's tool
chest' exhibited by Messrs. Babcock Bros,
would be offered as prize to the best scholar
in Mr.. Knights school. This tool chest, and
another purchased by subscription for the oc
casion, have been presented to the two best
scholars, that is, we presume, to tie two boys
who have exhibited the most marked pune su-
atty, studiousness, progress, and general good
behaviour. The lads who gained these prizes,
are Masters lngle and Wilcox The prizes
were well earned, and should with the boys
have far higher value than their mere intrin-
sic worth. Let them remember that these
prizes are but trifing in comparison to the
great prizes in life to be won by a continuance
Of the same virtues which gained these.

the High School was in progress yesterday

We publish to-day the Platform adopted by
the Philadelphia Convention in the place Of the
"12th Section" We invite to it the attentive
psrusal of every citizen. The National Amer
lean Convention, which assembled last year,
undoubtedly made great mistake in not es-
tablishing platform similar to this, which
covers nearly the whole purpose of the 18th
section, yet which is free from the objection
able language and features of that section. We
are certainly willing to accept this platform in
the place Of the 18th section platform, and are
reioiced that the National Council has given
us and the American party the choice. We
have sustained the 18th section in its rcpudia-
ton of all further agitation Of the slavery
question. The present or new platform is
against all sectional issues. We. have sustain
ed the 10Th section in its demands that legis-
lation on the slavery question should rest
where it now is. The present platform is fol

are repealed or pronounced yvid We see moth
ing in this platform to which we, in common
with Americans, may not give own cordial en-
dorsement. There is nothing in it TO which
any American, North or South need object
While it is calculated to conciliate those who
opposed the '12th section it is so broadly

This must be matter Of taste, inasmuch as
some of best papers in the country appear to
think there is good deal in the Journal worth
copying and crediting too. Mr. Cotton, is
the gentleman who lately wrote that article
for the Sentinel charging Gov. Wright with
being "selfpufer," and an "arrant dema-
gogue," and which article his senior indig-
nantly kicked out Of the paper Since we
have assisted in giving publicity to this
little matter, Mr.. Cotton thinks we should
have no credit for anything good! He should
not take such things. to heart, and especially
he should not adopt so low and depraved a
method of injuring this paper, as to credit it
with paragraphs from the Enquirer.
