The American Platform.

Ex-senator Borland, of Arkansas, Southern
man in all his feelings and principles in ex-
planning his withdrawal from his late position
as editor of an American paper in Little Rock,
and, after stating that private business alone
induced such withdrawal, thus refers to the
platform
g I adopted the principles Of the American par
ty set forth in the platform Of june 1855, from
a conviction of their soundness and necessity; and
still firmly adhere to them. In the platform Of Feb
ruary, 1866, recognise the same principles, chang
ed only in the language which expresses them.
And although, for myself am free to say that
would have retained the words as well as the prin-
cples Of the first platform, without the alteration
OF syllable or letter, yet after careful con ider-
alton, am bound to concede that, while the Ian
guage Of the second one certainly gives q more
condensed expression to the same principles, it is
neither less comprehensive in its spirit nor less
clear and unequivocd in its meaning /, therefore,
cheerfully accept the new platform, as imbodying
everything that was substantially valuable in the
other, and take my stand upon it with no less firm
ness and determination"

but nobody thought the Secretary of the Treasury

we should be driven from the country, our houses

TOUCHING INCIDENT.--An affecting occurrence
took place some time ago in seaboard town in
England. Six little children got into boat on the
beach, and mischievous boy showed it off. The
boat drifted away to sea before the children were
missed. Terrible was the agony of the mothers
when they knew it. A number of men went off in
all directions every boat was on the lookout until
far in the night Daylight returned and still there
were no tidings from the helpless children the day
wore away, and still nothing was heard from them
They were either lost on the wide ocean or buried
in it's unfathomable depths.
A Plymouth fisherman, fishing early next morn
ing, discovered something floating In the distance,
he bore down to it, and discovered it to be boat.
and in the bottom six children all huddled togeth-
er like nest of birds, fast asleep-God having
given them that blessed solace after day Of terror
and despair. He took them aboard and gladdened
their desparing little hearts with the promise of
taking them home Between three and four in
the afternoon, the fisherman was seen in the ofing,
the boat astern. All eyes were turned to him |;
the best spy glasses in the town were rubbed
again and again, and at last they could fairly
see that it was the identical boat. The news few
through the town-the mothers came frantic to
the beach, for there no children discerned in
the boat; none to be seen in the sloop.
Intense was the agony of suspense and all alike
shared 1t with the parents At last the boat came
in, and the word went round, they are all safe j"
and many stout-hearted men burst into tears, wo
men shrieked with joy and became almost frantic
with their unsupportable happiness. II was indeed
a memorable day; and prayer, eloquent for its
rough simplicity, was offered up to Almighty God,
who in His infinite mercy, had spared these inno-
cent children from the peris and terrors of the sea
during that fearful night. Five of those children
were under five years of age, and the sixth was
but nine years old.
