for one, say no. It would be too lame and inn potent conclusions; and many of heir north ern allies are no more reliable than ours. We are not yet ready to give up our American principles. We have sat with free e-soers long enough.
 Let then the State councils of the several southern States at once assemble and deliberate It Is high time we were doing so. Let us lay down one platform for all the south, going up- on the subject of slavery no further than the I2th article went; Tn order that the conserva- tive men Tn the north may stand upon it with us Do net let us force them from us They wl~ stand on Hat article, if oe a0U be true to our seS0es. Let us not ask them to do more, than that which they cannot do
 Then let us place candidates on that platform II we thlnk we cannot succeed with a candi- uate who endorses 0U our views, let us take a democrat who has been tried and always found true to the south and the constitution, at home ana Tn the councils of the country. Let Us say to the country, we are willing to aUait for the success oi our American principles. The first thng to do, Is to give our country quiet. We will take this man, trusting to his antecedents We ask of him no other pledges. We will trust 10 his American feelings and instincts to do justice to those who, like him, are American born, confident that he will not fill the offices of the country with foreigners, to the exclusion of those born on the soil.
 Let us place this northern democrat, one like Bayard and Du Guescin, without fear and with out reproach, and southern whig of our party, at once before the country, and rally to their flag the conservatives of the Union.
 We need not fear that our American princi- pleS will not succeed in the end Unembar- ras>ed by otherquestions, the American instincts of the people will in time make them victorious everywhere.
 Or, if that does not suitour views let us mo- minate candidates of our oaon party, on our oa0n platform, nail our flag to the masthead and take the chances of the battle; satisfied with defeat, if it entails no dishonor and no betrayal of the south.
 It is delicate thing to do-that which am about to do; but the south has too many platforms, each State different one, and the same State, in some cases three or four in sue cessOn.
 1 submit one to the south, which several gen. tlemen from different States have concurred in framing. IL is the June platform, with some notifications, reduced to propositions. It is plain, distinct, specific: it needs no interpreter We would fain hope that our brothers in the south may approve it. But at all events ,ce stand upon 1t, and we naean to stand upon it, now and hereafter. It will at least elicit dis cussion and bring ab, ut deliberation, and action perhaps; and that is all which we at present pur- pose to effect A. P.

Further Particulars of the Loss of Ship
 Rutledge.

Captain Wood, of the ship Germania arriv- ed at port yesterday, from Havre, and furnishes the following account of the sinking of the shin John Rutedse, by running into an ice berg. and the rescue of one only of the ships com pany.
 0u the 18th ut. observed aship's boata ahead, and dispatched boat in quest of It. Approach ing the strange boat, it was found to contain Thomas w. Nve. of New Bedford, the only survivor of thirteen persons, the remainder having perished of starvation and cold. They had been in the boat nine days. Yves hands and feet were frozen. The boat also contain ed the bodies of Mrs Atkins and three others, names unknown, all belonging to the ship John Rutledge, Captain Kelley, of New York.
 The ship John Rutledge left Liverpool for this port, January 10th, and fell in with ice on February 8th. in latitude 4O.34 south, longl- tude 46.56 west. She got into aheld of Ice the next day. but succeeded in working clear.- She subsequently,, however ran into an iceberg, stove hole in her bow, and was abandoned at o'clock, F. NJ. Five boats, with the passen- gers and crew, left the ship. It was the nten- ton of Mr. Atkinson, the mate, to have leftthe vessel iu this boat, but she broke adrtt, and ne and several >others went down with the wreck. Itwas conjectuned that the other boats which were we'll manned and furnished with compasses, would pull for the gulf stream, as the weather was severely cold. They may possibly be picked up.
 The compass of the rescued boat was acci- dentally broken, and it being cloudy, her crew could not shape their course.
 After picking up the boat, the Germania stood northward until dark, and then lay to during the night, in hopes of discovering some Of the missing boats, but as nothing could be seen of them, she bore away to the southwest, Keeping lookout all the time. During the forenoon very thick snow storm prevailed, but lhe weather cleared towards noon.

 SAMUEL H. JOHNSON, at his residence, near Dardanelle, on Saturday, 18th March, 1856, aged about fory-fve years Disease, pnuemo- ma.
 The deceased was native of Maryland, who moved to this State many years since, and set tied in Yeli county, where he continued to re- side till his death. He was worthy citizen, and an honorcd and highly esteemed member of society In his death society has lost one of its brightest ornaments, and fond and de- voted wife and two interesting and lovely children of tender years a kind, allcctionate and provident husband and father He has left many relatives and numerous friends to mourn his loss.
 In all the private walks of citizen, and his intercourse with his fellow man, honesty and sincerity of purpose were ever present. These noble attributes of his nature had adorned the character of the deceased through life, and who, when the summons of death came, calm ly resigned himself to the will of his God, as none but the devoted christian can do. He is gone to the spirit land, his mortality minglng with mother earth, and no more forever will he again cheer by his presence that happy family circle from whom he has been taken.

To the President and People of the United

States.
 In consequence of the many slanderous mis- representations of the conduct of the people of | Western Missouri, industriously circulated by the chieftans of the rebel forces in the terri tory of Kansas, and especially with reference to the recent unfounded allegation, addressed to the President of the United States and va- rlous Governors, the citizens of the county of Lafayette, at mass meeting assembled in the city ot Lexington, deeming the exposure of the falsehoods incumbent upon them, do, through the undersigned, respectfully represent to the President of the United States, and all the peo- pie thereof, that there is not in this county, nor do they believe there exists in any portion of the State, an organized force for the invasion of Kansas and the butchery of its free State inhabitants. Having acquaintances and cores pondents in all the counties jacent to the ter rltory, we feel confident that such state of af- fairs could not exist without our knowledge.
 West of Jefferson city-(save those which are mounted on the brstling ramparts of Law rence)-we know of but one piece of artillery, | not in keeping of the arSenals of the general go- vernment; that exception may be found at h. dependencies brass slx-pounder captured at the battle of Sacramento by Col. Doniphan's | regiment, and presented by the State of Mis- sourl to the Jackson county company tri- bute to their gallantry in that memorable con- hict
 We therefore pronounce the statement of c. | Robinson, J. H. Lane and others, that "a large force of Mssourians, amply provided with ar uery, are being organized for the invasion of Kansas and the butchery of its free State in- habitants,'' or for any other purpose, an un- mirgated falsehood.
 It will not we hope, be considered improper for us in this connection to say, as near neigh bors deeply concerned, we are not indifferent spectators of the strife in Kansas. Many of Us have brothers and sons legitimate settlers in the territory-our prayers for life, health, and prosperity went with them to their new homes We have seen pouring through our own State, from the east a corrupt horde, concentrating for plumber and destruction around our kindred, and we have heard
