Pierce, Douglas & Buchanan.

There is a univ of sentiment between
these worthless on the subject of the pro-
slavery Cincinnati platform which is truly
admirable. This is what Frank Pierce
said of it in his recent speech at Washing
ton:
congratulate you that your choice has
fallen on man who stands on the IDENTI-
CAL PLATFORM THAT OCCUPY.
and that he will take the SAME with the
standard lowered never an inch.
Douglas, in his speech at the ratification
at New York, said:
Buchanan, and myself have. for several
years back. ever since came into public
life, HELD THE SAME POSITION on
the slavery question. from beginning to
END.
Mr.. Buchanan, in his late address to the
Key Stcne Club, at Wheatland, Pa, said:
have been placed upon a platform of
which MOST HEARTILY APPROVE,
and that can speat for me. Being the re-
preventative of the great Democratic party,
and not simply James Buchanan, must
square my conduct according to the platform
of that party and insert no new plank, nor
take one from it.
The platform thus endorsed and eulogized
by this Demotratic Triumvirate, is delib.
crate abandonment ofthe cardinal principles
OF the Declaration Of Independence, and
establishes in their stead the nationality OF
human slavery, by removing every restra NJ
and opening all territory under the contro
OF the general government to slavery

Ratification at Cleveland

On Monday eveLing there was a Dsns-
cratic Ratification meeting at Cleveland,
which subsequent reports prove to have bee.
rather a small affair. Seymour. of New
York, and Ingersoll, of Connecticut, we're
among the speakers A letter from Halls.t.
of Massachusetts, was read, Of which the
Leader says:
But the best part of the whole performance
was the letter of Mr.. Hallett, of Massachu-
setts, who excused himself for not being
present. 1t was read before the meeting
by one Of the men on the platform. After
giving the reasons which prevented his at
tendance, Mr.. Hallett assured the faithful
that Mr.. Buchanan would faithfully carry
out the policy OF President Pierce; that the
bloody code of Kansas ought to be enforced.
even if some o. its provisions were contrary
to Justice; that there were occasions on
which freedom of speech ought to be re-
strained; and that the Democracy were surs
of success The letter was greeted vita
few cheers, and with great many Kisses.
1t effectually killed the enthusiasm of the
assemblsge; for it was only with the utmost
difficulty that tolerably respectabl applause
could thereafter be excited by the mos, fran.
tic appeals.

Did the Cincinnati Convention en-
dorse Squatter Sovereignty?

Gen. Cass made speech at Philadelphia
on the 10th inst, in which he gave in his
adhesion to the nomination of Buchanan,
With the platform annexed. He spoke in
favor of squatter sovereignty lqr. as ilustra-
ted in Kansas), euIogised the present Ad-
ministration, and heartily endorsed the
Pierce Administration. He evidently re-
CARDS the resolutions of the Cincinnati Con-
vention as endorsing his squatter sover-
eighty doctrine. While the General with
tender seicitude in endeavoring to hatch
something from these stale eggs, the Rich
mond Enquirer, the organ Of the party in
Virginia, pours undisguised contempt upon
his favorite doctrine, and says the De-
mocracy have repudiated it. Hear the En-
guirer:
"With the utmost possible precision and
emphasis of language, these Resolutions
affirm the great vital principles, first, OF THE
CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEES OF SLAVERY;
and, secondly, of the equality of the States,
in respect os their sovereign dignity and
political rights. In equally clear and con-
elusive terms, the doctrine Of Squatter Sou
ereisnty i; repudiated by the Platform Of the
Democratic Party"
Now which is right! Is squatter sover-
eighty endorsed or repudiated in the Gin
cinnati platforml

MORE ToRYlsM.-The Richmond En-
quirer has openly expressed its preference
for Monarchy, and longs to get back under
English domination. Speaking of Summers
speech, and a war with Massachusetts,
which this Richmond sheet advocates, it
says:
"Hs warlike speech has turned our
thoughts very much to this war-and we
confess that the more we think of it the bet
ter we like it. We are heartily sick and
disgns'ed with the canting and mercenary
hypocritas OF Yankeedom. This war will
enable us to get rid of them, or turn the
tables upon them, and render them source
of profit instead Of expense. 1t will enable
us to regain our own-pilfered from US by
m ny a sharp transaction. 1t will enable
us to build up our country by the re-capture
of the millions of which we have been plum.
dered. 1t will enable us to get rid of Yam.
