Jhe democratic platform.

Of the four remaining resolutions of the
Democratic Platform, the FIRST is a warm
approval of the President of the United
States for the wisdom aud fidelity with
which he has administered the internal af-
fairs of the Government" and for the
fidelity and frmncss with which he has
maintained and upheld the interests and
rights of the South. Considering that
President PIERCE has done little to merit
the approval and hearty support" of any
body, we take it for granted that the reso-
luton was adopted from motives Of kind
ness and charity. A President who went
into Office upon an overwhelming tide of
success, and in few years has become so
unpopular with the people that he can mus
ter not more than seventy-fve supporters
in the lower House of Congress, perhaps
merits the sympathy of those who are chart
tably inclined. If he has been the wise and
faithful officer that the resolution proclaims.
it strikes us that he ought TO be reelected.
and that the Democracy of Tennessee owed
1t to the country to propose him for re-elec-
ton. But, instead of this, they have bound
his brow with cheap laurels, and turned
him out to grass, they have repaid his
wisdom and fidelity" and Fidelity and
frmness, " with words, words, and printers
ink 4!
The next resolution compliments our
ANDY, the grave and dignifed occupant
OF the Chief Magistrates Chair of Tennes-
see. He is declared worthy of the "last-
ing gratitude of the Democracy of Tennes-
see and the Union!" Possibly he thinks he
is entitled to little more than Lasting
gratitude. He has labored diligently to
place himself in the line of safe preceients
and to attain higher position than that
which now Eliminates his tortuous career.
and sets forth, distinctly, the homogeneous
materials which form the man. Doubtless
however, he will take the compliment in
good part, and lay it aside amongst the
other rare specimens which he has picked
up, and still look with longing eyes to the
bright reward which, by travelling up the
rounds of Jacobs Ladder, he expects to
reap in the faithful Democrats political
Heaven. He has been lucky, heretofore :;
and like the guilty Gloster regards himself
invincible. Other heights he may attain,
but he will find his Richmond at last. Since
the days Of jackson, the search Of the De-
mocracy for Presidential candidates has
been downward. When they found Pierce,
it was thought they had reached the lowest
depths; but who knows whether at Gin
cinnati they may not reach the lower
deep" and drag forth our Governor
Even so let it be- Sam wants another
chance at him.
The last two resolutions refer to matters
Of no general Importance.

cost double what it would now cost to build road
over the same ground. The changes in grades and
curves the alterations in width Of rails and size OF
cars the increase from time 20 time of motive pow
err and various experimental operations have all re-
quired expenditures unexpected, and wholly unpro-
vided for. The right of way and land damages,
have also been a heavy item of expense, and a
fruitful source Of litigation and hl.feeIlng. The
Texas Western Railroad would not be subject to
these unnecessary expenditures for the State grants
the right Of way 200 feet wide, and all necessary
lands for building purposes, in addition TO the TO-
$40 acres 10 the mile, and the knowledge derived
from the experience Of others will be of vast ser
vice to them 1t will enable them to guard against
all those extravagant mistakes which pioneers in
railroad construction have experienced, and place
their work at once among the best works of the
country upon the original outlay. They viii, at
the outset, take rank with the best located, best
constructed, best equipped and best managed
works in the country, aud with proper system OF
finance will be one of the most productive, for all
tins 10 come.
With the muniiceht grant Of land from the State
Of Texas, more than sufficient to construct and
fully equip the entire length of the road, We mot
conceive Of greater or more grand speculation
than the investment in the stock Of this company.
Now is the time 20 secure this per cent stock, as
the agent, Col G. Bradley, will remain but few
days longer in the city.

Great indignation is manifested by the people of
Floridaon sccount of the recent murders committed
by the Indians, and firm determination to have
the savages either removed or extermlnated. A
public meeting was held at Tampa on Sunday the
23d ut, and the following resolutions adopted:
ResoIped That it is the sense of this meeting that
the Indians now in settled state of hostility,
and that the exposed state of the frontier requires
immediate protection. aud that we respectfully cali
upon the General Government and Governor Of the
State, to furnish the necessary protection TO the
citizens. and take immediate steps for the speedy
and frrcible removal Of those savages, and il ne
cessary TO wage a war Of determination against
them.
Resolped, That we earnestly request the people Of
every country in the State, to hold public meetings
and petition the authorities of the Gen and State
Governments to adopt Immediately, such means as
may be necessary to remove the remainder of the
Seminoles to The West without delay.
Resolued, That we recommend that the people OF
this State, submittO no truce or compromise with
these Indians, unsil the last one is elected from
our territory.
PeSOtUed, That we recommend to the citizens OF
this county, to organize two or more companies of
Volunteers and tender them TO the proper authOri-
ties, to be used for the protection of the frontier
and the prosecution Of the war.

Party Vengeance.

1t will be seen by the following article
from the Memphis Wig of the It'll inst,
that the Administration have been guilty of
another of those high-handed AID tyranni-
cal acts which serve to disgrace our re-
publican Institutions
We publish this morning tie announcement
of the removal of E. Dashiell, from the Office
of Collector of Customs for this port, and the
confirmation of Samuel o. Ballard as his sue
cessor. Mr. Dashiell is Democrat, and sue
ceeded Hume f. Hill, Esq, who was removed
by the present administration, because of his
political opinions. Aud now Mr.. Dashiell is
removed: not because he was incompetent;
not because he did not agree with the admin
stration in sentiment, but, simply Because he
employed j. G.. Lonsdale, an American, as his
Deputy
When was prescription for opinion sake,
ever carried to such extreme Not con-
tent with denoulcing the American party
as the enemies Of civil and religious liberty,
this Pierce dynasty makes it their business to
institute enquiries into the political opinions of
all persons, either directly or indirectly con
nected with the Government, and strikes down
even the common laborer for entertaing sent-
ments which they honestly believe are essen
tial 10 the preservation of the Government.
And such the party at the Federal capitol who
deceirfully and falsely charge others with a
spirit of disorganization because of a refusal to
coalesce and act with them! Let this matter
be properly understood in the country; let the
Press give proper publicity to such petty tyr
annies as we have to-day announced, and we
have no apprehension that the responsibility
will not De fixed upon the guilty parties.

BEHAVIOR IN CHURCH.-The Rev. Henry
Clay Dean, the present chaplain to the United
States Senate, was some years ago a resident
of north -western Virginia. While preaching
one day at a church situated a few miles from
Fairmount, he was annoyed by the inatten-
ton of the congregation as manifested in turn
ing their heads to see everybody who came
in. Brethren, said he, :" it is very difficult
to preach when thus interrupted. Now, do
you listen to me, and will tell you the name
of every man as he enters the church." OF
course the remark attracted universal atten.
zion. Presently some one entered: " Brother
William Satterfeld!" called out the preacher,
while that brother" was astonished beyond
measure, and endeavored in vain to guess
what was the matter. Another person came
in" brother Joseph Mllerp bawled the
preacher with like result; so perhaps in
other cases. After while the congregation
were amazed at hearing the preacher call out
in a loud voice: "a little old man with q blue
coat and white hat onl Don't know who
he is! You may look for yourselves. "-fdir-

Ahe Lien And the Lamb-DemOcracy and
Free sellers I'm the same Hsed.
The Democratic members of the House
Of Representatives. rty-eight Of them
at the opening of Congress met in caucus,
nominated Mr.. Richardson fer Speaker,
and adopted a resolution, which has been
pronounced, all over the South, by the press
Of " theparty, the very essence of Nation
atty. They rejoiced over its adoption, and
sung paans of praise to the noble forty
eight with as much junction as if there was
really something in the resolution to be joy
ful over. We have contended, and the
American Press generally have cCntended,
that the resolution settled nothing, and was
not worth the paper nn which it was writ
ten, because whilst it pledged the members
to maintain and defend the principles of
the kansas-Nebraska Bill, those princi-
pies were regarded in the North as mean
ing one thing, and in the South as meaning
another and a very different thing. The
most rampant abolitionist and the iercest
fre-eater might take the pledge, and still
be no nearer agreeing upon the question as
to the power of territorial governments over
slavery than they were before the pledge
was taken. Under these circumstances, we
regarded the pledge as a fraud, designed
to cheat the people of both sections, for
the advancement of the Democratic party.
We now have an illustration of this. The
Van Buren, Softs, or Free Sellers, of the
New York Legislature, recently followed
the example Of the "forty-eight," held a
caucus in Albany, and adopted resolution,
Here is the resolution, as we fnd it repub-
lished in the Savannah (Ga.) Journal, and
that the reader may be satisfied as to the
utter worthlessness Of the platform Of the
forty-eight, SO much lauded, we place their
resolution in juxtaposition with that of the
! Free Sellers

The Philadelphia Ledger says that since the new
organization of the Fire Department of that city,
once noted for its rowdyism, there has been not
only decrease in the number of fires and false
alarms, but the loss of property, compared with
former years, has been but trifliug. What is still
better, the disposition to fight and riot on the part
of the frmer has been almost entirely checked and
the citizens of Philadelphia can now look with pride
upon their Fire Department. The loss by fires iron
April to December, 1855, has been 1923, 900.

E8-The London Times, though no friend to the
