Ruchanan's Platform.

On the Slavery question the platform
adopted for Buchanan comprises these points
lst. Congress has no power to exclude
slavery from any territory
I'd. The people of a territory have n;
power to prohibit slavery so long as the ter
ritorial government lasts.
Sd. Squatter Sovereignty is humbug
and no longer plank in the Democratic
creed.
4th. Estate Equality" means the right o.
Shareholders to take their slaves into the
public domain, by virtue of the slave laws Of
the slave States.
5th. That Slavery is national and Free.
dom sectional.
9th. That the people of territory can
only exclude Slavery from among them after
they have formed State Constitution and
been admitted into the Union
9TH. That Kansas must be kept out of the
Union, on the plea of want of population
until the Free State men are murdered OIL
driven out, and the slave holders firmly plant.
ed under the protection of the general Gov
ernment.
sth. That any man denying the foregoing
doctrine is a trator,and should be dealt with
accordingly.

BRANDY FROM CoAL.-Brandy distilled
from coal is one of the proposed applications
of chemical science to support the wants of
man, which is just now creating some sem
sation.-Hitherto brandy has been made
indifferently from potatoes, wine, beet root,
and other vegetable recources; but from &C al
--villainous black mineral, mirabile dictu.
The experiments of Bethelot, which demon
strated the possibility of producing alcohol
from common coal, have so seized upon the
imagination of some French Yankees: that
it is seriously proposed to distil alcohol
from coal, and after dil1tion to give it the
color and taste of the best uin cogniac. For
the information, probably amusement of your
readers, may state that the modus operandl
is as follows:--Coal gas is first distilled in
the ordinary way, and conducted into re-
ceiyer. 1t contains about eight per cent
of heterogeneous bi-carbon in gaseous state
which is separated therefrom(rather com.
plicated affair,) and introduced into a very
close vessel is agitated until the acid absorbs
the gas Water is then mixed with it and
the whole distilled for alcohol, which is
brought over. Good news this tor London.
derrys and Lambtons, if the chemical exper
iment should prove capable of being applied
to manufacturing purpose.-Our coal dis
riots transformed into brandy producing
countries, rivalling with Angouleme itsel
will be one of the curiosities of the nineteenth
century, although our children may fint
nothing unusual in asking for drop of th'
best old Northumberland, or glass of Dur
ham water, hot, with slice of lemon, an
not too much sugar.--Mining Jonrnal.

THE WASHINGTON SENTINEL on THE
SUMNER OUTRAGE.-The Washington Senti.
mel, the special Organ of Mr.. Buchanan, and
the warm advocate of that gentleman s
claims for the nomination of the Cincinnati
Convention, publishes an article, approving
in glowing terms of the dastardly assault oi
Mr. Brooks on Mr.. Sumner. The Buchanan
organ proceeds to say;
"If Massachusetts, will rot recall Mr.. Sum
ner-il the Senate will not reject him OF
control him-if the nan-Senator will not
hold himself responsible for such insults to
his fellow-senators, swhat is to be donel
Nothing in this wide world but to cowhide
bad manners out of him, or good manners
into him. The institution of man-the CON-
mon law of society point to no other mode of
redress for the grievance
If this is to be a plank in the Buchanan
platform, the people should know it. il
Free Speech and State rights are to e sup.
pressed by bludgeons aud murdeous assaults
ty the Buchanan party, we hope they will
put the question before the jury of the whole
people.

National InteLigencer, speaks of Col. FEE.
MONT as follows
He is man of high qualities; modest
wise for his years, selI-reliant, brave, collect
ed and calm amid dangers: He has en-
countered trials and conquered difficulties
which few men could have coped with sue
cessfully. His victories have been over the
rigors of Nature, in their sternest aspect
in the bottomless snGv-drifts of desert and
untrodden mountains. In the hardy pursuits
of the explorer few !men have perilled as
much or suffered as much as Col. FREMONT.
In this path Of duty and distinction he early
excited our admiration and interest.

Southern Aggression.

twenty-five years ago. in the Senate o
the United States, Mr.. Webster, uttered thu
following language in his reply to Mr.. Hayn'
of South Carolina:
81 know full well that it has been the
settled policy of some persons in the South
for years, to represent the people of the
North disposed to interfere with them il
them in their own exc c'usive and peculiar
oncerns. This is delicate and sensitive
point in Southern feeling; and of late year:
it has always been touched, and genera lily
with effect, whenever the object has been tc
unite the whole South against Northern mer
or Northern measures. This feeling, al.
WAYS carefully kept alive, and maintained al
too intense a heat to admit discrimination
or reflection, is leUer of great poDer IN
our political machine. IT MOVED VAST BOD
les, AND GIVES TO THEM ONE AND THE sAME
DIRECTION. But it is without adequate cause
and the suspicion rhich eristed is rchich crisis
is wholly groundIess.' -
Five years ago, in his great 7th of Ma rch
speech, in reply to Mr.. Calhoun. Mr.. Web
ster said:
oThe h onorable member from South Car
olina (Mr. Calhoun) observed there has been
majority all along in favor of the North.
If that be true, sir, the North has acted
either very literally and kindly, or very
weakly; for THEY NEVER EXERCISED THAT
MAJORITY EFFICIENTLY FIVE TINES IN THE
HISTORY OF THIS GOVERNMENT, WHEN A d.
VISION OR TRIAL OF STRENGTH AROSE.
NEVER. Whether they were out-geDeraled,
or W neither it was owing to other causes, |
shall not stop 70 consider! but no man ac-
quainted with the history Of The Union can
deny that the general lead in the politics Of
the country, for htree. .fourths of the period that
has elapsed since the adoption Of The COnstitu-
tion has Jeen Southern iead."
These are truths that are worthy of per-
petual remembrance, and they lose none of
their force from the fact that DANIEL WEE.
sTER uttered them.

Mrs. Mary Craig and others of her sex,
who not long ago took the law into their
own hands and broke up some of the drink
ing establishment: of Washington, Gurnsey
county, Ohio, were tried in the Court OF
Common Pleas of that county, at the in
stance of C. ]. Gibeant, one of the sufferers
and verdict was found against them ol
1903 and costs of suit.
1t is to be hoped that the temperance men
of Guernsey, will not be SO ungallant as to
allow the ladies or their friends, to meet this
demand from their own funds. AS the law
requires that it should be paid, the commu.
nifty, for whose benefit the act was done
should foot the bill.-ZanesuHe Gazette.

The Ratification Response from
the Capitol.

Yesterday, when the telegraph haG no.
titled us of the nomination of Fremont and
Dayton as the Republican candidates for
President and Vice-President of the United
States, there was strong feeling of glad
ness and exultation manifest among all
classes of our citizens. 1t was determined
to make such demonstration as should show
our opponents and the world that we were
alive to the Importance of the issue, and
were willing to do our par, in the great work
of restoring the government to the Republi-
can standard of Jefferson and the early pa
triots. At an early hour the energetic work
men in the Journal Office had large Ma
tional flag with the motto: Free Kansas,
Free Speech" at the the top, and Fremont
and Dayton" at the bottom, suspended over
the centre of High street, where it is to
wave till the triumph of this ticket at the
November election. At six O'Clock, one
hundred guns were fired, which sent the glad
rounding country.
At an early hour of the evening, Good
mans celebrated Band took their position in
the stone balcony of the Johnson Building,
where they gave from that splendid position
several of their popular and spirit-stirring
airs The streets soon became thronged
with our citizens, and thousands were gath
cred on High between Broad and Town
streets.
When the music ceased, store box was
nlaced on the corner of Hiph and State
streets, and, in response to calls, Judge
Brayton, of Cleveland, Senator Brown, of
Portage, and Anson Smyth, our excellent
and popular candidate for School Commits
sioner, addressed the large crowd in attend.
ance. Their speeches were short, and to
the point, and were received with shouts o
applause oy the delighted audience. Every
thing was off hand and without premedita
ton, and contrasted so strongly with the
cold, lifeless and thrice attempted efforts
Of our opponents to get up ratification o.
the pro-slavery ticket, as to attract genera

the elements of success. The spontaneou:

the very cordial and enthusiastic manner il
which, at the close of the speaking, they

HEREpITARY.-It is somewhat singular
fact that there seems TO be mixture of th'
bully and coward in both Senator Butler, o
South Carolina, and his kinsman. Mr., Brooks
Some years ago Mr.. Butler crossed the path
of Thomas Benton, and received the lie for
his pay. He quietly pocketed the insult
and neither he nor his valiant nephew sait
any thing more about the matter. They
were afraid to risk the consequence. TIE
attack on Sumner furnishes additional proof
that they are both dastardly wretches, ant
that Henry Wilson was in the right in refus
ing to fight duel with scoundrel who is
proper subject for the whipping post.
