The Black Democracy are discovering
when too late, that they put their foot In
it, when they nominated Ten Cent jim
my for President All our news from
PENNSYLVANIA confirms the opinion that he
cant begin to carry his own State. In
his own county, Lancaster, he will be
beaten by 5000 majority.
A letter to the Philadelphia News, from
Lancaster, says:
Strangers at distance might have
supposed that the nomination OF Mr.. Bu-
cnanan would have raised perfect whlrl-
wind of excitement In the boaSted Demo-
cratic city that claims him as her adopted
500, and / certainly did suppose that the
announcement of the event would have
been attended with reasonably decent
demonstration of Joy on the part of his
Fellow citizens, whether Democrats or not.
But the news of his nomination did not
create one tenth part OF the feeling and
excitement that followed the first intelli-
gene of the outrage on Sumner.
Il heard an old Democrat say yester-
day, that he has never scratched Dem
cratic ticket for thirty years; but that he
could not and would not vote for that
id old Federaiist and that he might
forgive everything else except the wear
ing Of that BLACK CocKADE, which he Well
remembers Mr.. Buchanan wearing thro'
the streets of Lancaster. Nor is this the
only Democrat in this city and county who
will remember the past.
There is no class of people In the I'm
ion who hate a Black Cockade Federal
list" so bitterly as the old g Dutch Far
mers" of Pennsylvania, They viii black
ball him 70 death.

THE TWO PLATFORMS.

We publish to-day the Platforms of the two
National Conventions. We ask our readers to
peru.e them attentively and say for themselves
upon which they stand.
That of the Cincinnati Convention, is long
and strictly pro-slavery, but we ask every man
to read it and see where Buchanan stands. He
endorses it in full and if elected, will faithfully
carry it out to the satisfaction of his Southern
masters.
The Republican Platform. broad as the Dec
laration of Independence yet sufficiently def
mite to be understood by all, is the upon
which we stand, which we enter the col test
with every assurance of success.
But it is not our purpose at this time to COM
ment at length upon either We say again to
all read them for yourselves

This paper Of the learned Attorney Gen.

the Official productions of his pen, and indi-
Gates that ne has brought to the treatment of
this topic the powers of q mind long trained

tivity which shrinks from no labor of inq uiry.
We have not had time to give this elaborate
opinion that careful perusal which it is emit
tied TO, from its Importance as a State paper
and from the distinguished ability Of its au.
thor. We hope, at some convenient day, to
End room for its insertion in our columns,

sion to offer such comments of our own upon
its arguments ard conclusions as it may an.

of abolition professions of devotion to the in

fact that that the mass of the colored people
comprehend that they are better off among

themselves; and hence their indisposition to
flock to the North, where, according to aboli-
ton account, they are SO much honored and
loved.
