parties aud the confidence each has in the
strength and jus,ness Of his cause. /
The Republican platform is a plain and
straightforward avowal of honorable and
constitutional designs to preveu; the spread
of au admitted evil 1t reads very much
like Declaration put forth SO years ago
from the same city. Read it. aud If IN
your heart is pulse of love Of liberty and
the rights Of man, you will say it is right.
What can be said of the Cincinnati or
Buchanan platform? What mean those
numerous, circumlatory words about '9s,
'99, "Monroe doctrine" ''proper constitu
tional powers" &c. &c. What principle
to be decided by the election is concealed
under this mass Of ve.biage! Why, silt
ing out two grains Of sense from bushe
Of chaff, We say the Platform goes
]. For completing the suijugation o.
Kansas to Slavery.
=. To annex Cuba and Nicaragua, ant
thus further strengthen Slavery.
This is also the Interpretation put upot
the platform by the South generally NJ
matter wha. may be the WORDS used tt
blind the North-the MEANING Of 1t all II
to strengthen and defend Slavery wi,hou
any check. 1t is Texas in embryo. L
is SO considered by Pierce, Douglas, Quit
man, Slidell, Brooks, Rust, and all tn
Southern Fiilibusters!
Which DO you CHOOSE? Wha. harm
CAN be done on the Republican-wha
harm can NOT be done on the Cincinnati
platform?

G.n Union is Strength"

s-g.s.s ..ioaoi.y County Convention. 1t
is the first full, regular, united, bona fide
"couuty convention held for many years
Cna'sturhed by any local feuds, it seem
ed-said many of the numerous spectators
from all parts Of the county-like good
old times" Some of the Delegates and
some of the Candidates were Railroad
men, and some were Anti Railroad; some
were Boilers, and some Regulars some
opposed Division, and some supported it /;
some voted for Lewisburg, and some for
Mifflinburg. But all united in 'bury ing
past, settled questions and pledging them
selves for Freedom and Right the present
momen'ous campaign.
There were fewer candidates than usual
this year, consequently fewer disappont-
ments, an' we believe the decisions made
nre acquiesced in with more than common
unanimity and sincerity. Considering the
intestine turmoils Of the past few years, it
is not to be expected that every old grudge
can be absolutely forgotten, or that fair
ticket representing all interests should in
every particular be satisfactory to all. but
in satisfactorily effecting the desired set
tlement, we must be frank aud manly; We
must have no haif ifheartedncss or reserve;
We must each expect to make Some sacri-
fee, and not to have it all our own way.
Of the Nominees, Messrs HAYES, SIM
ONION, worse, anu BoGAR. we believe
are natives Of the county-have grown up
with it-aud any formal introduction or
eulogy would be superhuous. Mr. RUHL
it was stated By some had been but two or
three years in the county, but this is an
error, as he has been here IL or Is years,
and is VOL known in West Buifaloe and
vicinity as worthy and capable lnan. Mr..
SANDS has not general ACQUAINTANCE in
the county as many have, but is rcrrcsen-
ted to us by men Of all parties as capital I
penman, and 4 quick, accurate, and thoro' (
business man in all respects, of uEsullied

Mr. kUNKEL's re nomination was spon- |
