Mr.. SuMNER.-Tho New York Evening Post,
speaking of Mr.. Summers health and proposed re-
turn to Washington, says:
"ITe never makes any effort in public without
great excitement, and excitement is what his ply
sicians earnestly counsel him 10 avoid. His re-
turn to the Senate would unquestionably he the
signal of attempts to annoy him, on the part Of
some of the Senators-of derogatory illusions
which he would feel it his duty to repel. The Sen.
ate is not what it was a few years since. In going
back to it, Mr.. Sumner would at once plunge into
excitement.
"a present, his vote would probably change
no decision of the Senate. His vacant chair Is
more eloquent than bis presence would be, at least
until the time shall arrive when he can uplitt his
voice with its accustomed power. His nervous Or
ganization, always exceedingly sensitive, is yet
morbidly alive to slight Impressions, though re-
covering its original tone, with a slow process OF
reparation which ought not to be disturbed. We
hone, therefore, for our part-and those who are
rightly informed in regard to his case will join us
in the hope-that he will allow Nature, who can
not be hurried, to perform her work in her own
gentle ard gradual way, and in her own time, and
that he will not present himself in his seat IN the
Senate Chamber at the present session of Con.
gress."
The following is the platform Of principles, adop-
ted 10y the Buffalo and Cleveland German assOcia-
lions, which will probably form the basis of the
national organization:

2. Abolition of Slavery in the District Of Co.
lumbia.
3. No more Slave States.
4. Repeal of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.
5. Protection of the Liberty of Speech, of the
Press, ana of Free Suffrage.
g. Free Homes to actual settlers.
