MORE REGULATIONS.

The Lancaster (Pa.) Express, Democratic
paper and formerly Grm supporter Of Mr..
Buchanan. has drawn itself entirely oui of the
Cincinnati harness. aud IS now free for any can
didaie the PHILADELPHIA Convention shall nom
mate.
The best and worihiest members ofihe Dem
ocralic party cannot accept the Cincinnati plat
form Of propagandism and law lessness. Sena-
tor Hamlin, Of Maine, has renowned publicly
his connection with that blood-stained organi-
cation, and Hon. Lot NJ Morrill,, Of Augusta,
Chairman If the Maine Democratic State Com
mitiee, aud President of the present State Sem
ate, has notified his colleagues that he cannot
support either Buchanan or the platform on
which he stands.
Hon Joseph Knox, one Of the most disting-
uished lawyers Of illinois, a Pierce rlector in
1859, aud lifelong Democrat, in a public
meeting AT Rock Island come Oh, openly and
boldly for a union Of all the anii. slavery ex-
tension elements in the North against the ag-
eressons Of the pro-sayery party. Mr. knox's
influence, backed up BY his eloluenee, will be
sensibly felt in the coming campaign.
The Worcester Palladium, the leading Dem
ocraiic paper Of Worcester coauiy, utterly re-
pudistes the Cincinnati platform. The editor
of til S Journal is Hol. J. S. c. Knowlion. In
the latest issue of the Palllum it exposes the
: Objectionable features ofihis platform. in long
aad very able article. We suhjoin few ex-
tracts. Abiding TO its total silence upon the
recent outrares in Kansas, the Palladium says:
snow. Nhatever may have been the purpose
. af atla nj mn
ouirages in Kansas. it leaves every Democrat
without the ability to make denal Of the al
legation, that the Democratic party Is commit
ted to the policy Of aiding the Shareholders in
extending slavery over territory co-exiensive
with the bounds Of the Union; and this, too,
in the face OF The ime-wotn declaration of the
right OF The people to say 10 the slave insiiu-
ton THUS far shah lhou conc, and no farih-
err"
or the future, il SAYS, tina, in the Convention
-four years hence, il hat the South now de-
sire shall not then have become a reality in its
possession, the idea involved in these resolu-
tions will stand DOT In bold relief; the full and
fell purpose Of the Shareholders clearly nProbe /
of oil DISCUSSES. 1t will be The absorption of
he lohole southern part IF me North american
continent; and The extension Of negro slavery
carrying ,eith Il political pooer--orcr Merics and
he Central American Saies; converting the
United States into one great Black Republic ;
and bringing into the Union slave State after
slave State, until slavery shall be the universal
role, and freedom It's most Insignificant excep-
tion." lie closes as follows:
/ ITO preserve Tho Union Of the States, SO
I fraueht with blessings for all, We are prepared
to go as far as he who will 60 farlhesl with
ont the sacrifice Of manhood We yield to the
South every RICH, and privilege To which it is
entitled under the Constitution and the laws,
fairly and honestly interpreted. Bot there are
steps which cannot be safely taken and, in the
language Of the excellent Woodbury., we say !:
= We Joiloio ,raere Democratic principles lead !;
irhere hey halt, 're hail."
