The Drunknrds' Platform,

When the four murderers were hung here the
other day. the first executed was Bovard, for the
murder Of his wife. He made quite lengthy speech
IN which he warned the multitude against the dread
.ful effects Of drunkenness. He said that brandy
brought him to the fate they saw-that till he indul
ged in the free use Of that liquid FIRE. he had as
bright promise as any young man before him
that he cut of in the midst Of life for commit
ting crime Of which he had no recollection
The negroes. when they were brought out, follow
ed the example Of their white compeer in crime and
edited the spectators with speech. One Of them
Aick, said he hoped no more such accidents would
happen. Che and his two accomplces in guilt had
killed their mastery and that none Of his fellow
servants would come TO such taatform. The poor
fellow had probably heard some talk of platforms
and felt considerably elevated in speaking from his
fatform. he called it. that horrible occasion.
We sincerely hope that heyoung men and boys
who heard Bovard, viii take warning his was
most effective and practical sermon on temperance

A Correction.

We notice the papers have all got it. that
BOvard. who was hung here ON the 9th ult, was
"a minutes struggling. This is a horrible subject
TO revert TO after II is passed but there was mis-
take madein The report to the telegraph office He
never struggled at all, but hung % minutes Life
was not entirely extinct for fifteen minutes.
Wesre not requested by our humane and popular
Sheriff, NJ. A. Jenkins, TO make this correction-as
he is not anxious TO increase that branch of his bust
ness--he hanging. we mean,-but if any one doubts
his capacity in that respect, they and try
him. There is something too revolving in the idea
Of poor miserable sinner writhing twenty seven
minutes--as though we were not a civilized people
and did not know how to build gallows to do their
work more expertlyl
By the way, IL we appear light on this subject, we
do not feel So The Jest II is suggested, is
of those grim ones that rises from deeper feeling
shame and indignation at this remnant OF barbar
ism--hanging While our criminal laws stand as they
are, life must be executed but we most utterly
condemn the taking away of human life 1t is
gift that none but God ca1simpart, Ind none but HI
should take There might be other modes punish
ment--we are not wise enough to suggest them, bu
hanging, or any other mode of extinguishing tn
vital spark surely not in consonance with the I'D
vancement Of the age in other respects. There ar
many others that think with US. We hope this sub
ject viii receive attention. Let US do away wit
the death penalty. We shall revert to this subjec
again more at length

As aspecimeu Of the sound, national Democrats
Of tho North who represented the Northern De.
mocracy at Cincinnati, and readily assented to
the platform there adopted, as one altogether
broad enough to hold them with perfect ease and
comfort 10 themselves, may be instanced one Of
the delegates from Maine, the Hon. VIM. K. Kim
ball, who, IN response to . letter addressed to
him, after the passage Of the Kansas Nebraska
act, by the Hon. w. F. yinton and others, replied
as follows: s
"Gentemsn. have received your letter of the
LIST inst, and lose no time in replying to it.
upon the general subjectsof American slavery,
my opinions, perhaps, are not different from your
own. or from those usually entertained by North
ern men. / regard it as social, moral and po-
lltical evil; and its successful abolition, In my
judgement, would be worth almost any price short
Of the Union itself. The idea of its extension
into new Territories must be abhorrent to every
right-minded and sound-headed man. Nothing
could induce me to give my vote or influence tc
establish il on foot Of free SOIL
"These statements are probably a sufficient
answer to your letter, but ! am free to add, that
deeply regretted the movement of last winter
which led to the repeal of the Missouri Compro'
mise. still think it was unnecessary and unwjse;
and had been in Congress my influence would
have been exerted as was that of our present rep
resentative Mr.. Mayall, to prevent it; although
in its practical consequences the movement is like
~ to prove of no disadvantage to freedom, it is
none the less true that it has revived dangerous
agitations, and in repeating an old compromise
has given rude shock to the public mind of the
North.
al have the honor to be, &C., your most ODE.
dientservant,
WIN. K. KIMBALL."
This Mr.. Kimball is good specimen of what
is called, "a sound, national Democrat"

BISHOP HuoHEs ON THE BOARDS The Most
Reverend Archbishop John Hughes, of the Prov
ince mot State) Of New York, is announced to
deliver lecture, this evening, at the Academy
OF Music,-on the Life and Times of Daniel
O'Connell. -
Now, It seems 10 us that the Most Reverend
Archbishop John Hughes, OF the Province mot
State) Of New York, would be doing service
to the Irish Romanists here, II he would but
condescend to lecture them little on the Life
and Times, say, Of George Westinghouse
some other American Patriots. That class of
persons are in greater need OF an induction into
the principles and precepts Of Americansm,
than to be called to contemplate anew the Life
and Times Of Daniel O'Connell. Washington
however.--we had forgotten, --warnedh his coun-
trymen TO Beware OF foreign influence, "-and
the Most Reverend Archbishop John Hughes, oil
the Province mot State) of New York, cannot
Of course be expected to tell his hearers to
Beware Of himself" -
II was among the last things o Cornell said
we believe,--that when he died, he wished his
body TO 90 to Ireland, and his heart to Rome
The heart of the Most Reverend Archbishop
John Hughes, Of the Province (pot State) o.
New York, has been in Rome as long as W
can remember, Though his body 10 lodged il
Mulberry Street. An American subject for
discourse forsuch man, after all, then, woul
be purely preposterous. A man Is not expecte
