"Party Platforms.

Under this head we groupe together several
movements and rumors of movements among
the politicians at Washington. 1t will be
seen that the proposed new ''Notional Party"
will receive no aid or accession from the
Black Republicans, who are resolved to stand
by their distinctive principles, and to have
no part nor lot IN the proposed union of all
the elements of opposition to the Democracy
We cannot say that we regret this determi-
nation OF theirs, nor IS it unexpected to u.s.
We have heretofore failed to respond to the
suggestion of union, for two reasons: lst
that we did not intend TO be party to any
movement nauiting union with Freesoilers;
and I'd that we had not the least expectation
that the Black Republicans would consent to
forego their constitutional opposition to our
section. We are as much opposed to a con-
tinuance of Democratic rule as any politician
in the country. We believe that that party
always tciN keep. as it always has kept the
country in constant state of sectional ex-
element and danger; that it will ever keep
on foot some sectional hobby whereby to
wheedle and carry the South, arousing and
inflaming thereby sectional animosity at the
North, and when the crisis comes it will
shamefully surrender the rights of the South
to maintain a union with a faithless and
unreliable handful of Northern allies. We
believe moreover that the Southern Democ-
racy will, at the next Presidential election,
strike another bargain with Northern Free
sellers, and be found hand in hand with the
Van Burens, Douglas, Walker. Stanton
Reeder, ct al, of that ilk. We believe further
that the election of Fremont could not have
proved greater calamity to the whole coun-
try, and particularly to the South, than has
the Administration of Buchanan, and that
had Fremont and his party sinned as griey-
ously against the South as have Buchanan
and his Cabinet and Congress, our injured
Section would now have beeen a unit in the
determination to regain its rights or to over
throw the instrument of its oppression.
The alarming profigacy and extravaganza
of the present Administration, too, call
loudly for CHANGE-dny better than none.
Still we vote nay, and will always vote nay,
to any proposition to unite with Northern
Freesoilers upon any platform antagonistic
to, or evasive in its recognition of, our sec
tional rights. We are for war against the
corrupt Democracy to the end of the chapter
(and .'finis' cannot be far off under either
their rule or that of the Black Republicans;)
but our motto is, No compact with the armed
enemies of our sectioni Let us rather initiate
Marion, Sumter, Cleveland and Campbell, and
wage a guerrilla warfare in defence of our
own section.
But we have yet faint hope that nation
al organization CT conservative men will be
formed that the necessities of the country will
compel it, as the only alternative of dissolu-
tion.-C5luuabus (Ga) Enquirer.

"Indeed, sir. we now supply and pay for all
or nearly all, the servants about the Presi-
dents House, except his cook and coachman !;
and chamber-maid, if he needs one. l am in
favor of a liberal allowance to the President
of the United States. Gentlemen will not
find me backward in providing for the Presi-
dent good income, but desire to do it d.
rectly, and not by indirection. The Constitu-
ton of the United States provides that
The President shall, at stated times. re-
ceive for his services compensation which
shall neither be increased nor diminished DUR
ing the period for which he shall have been
elected; and he shall not receive within that
period any other emolument from the United
States or any of them"
"The point make is, that the appropriations
reported here are emoluments to the Presi-
dent, for they pay private expenses of the
President, such as pertain to the housekeeping
of every gentleman. We pay for nearly all
the incidental expenses fthe Presidents man
sion, and it is only Necessary for the Commit
tee of Ways and Means to report an addition
al item for sundries, to pay Monsieur Gautier
the expenses of the Presidents table
If gentlemen desire to increase the COM
pensation of the President, let them say so,
and report bill for that purpose. l am OPP
posed to doing it in this unconstitutional and
indirect mode 1 amepposed to paying all
these expenses of the Presidents House. and
still give him an annual compensation or
salary"

In the New Orleans papers of the same date
we find in notice published by the executive
committee of this dikguised Democratic party
the following foreshadow of the vigilance
committee" movement:
All quiet and peaceable citizens, of what
soever complexion of politics, are also inform
ed hereby that they can safely go to and re-
turn from the polls on the day of the election,
without mourning any risk of personal vio-
lence or indignity, ample means and precdu-
tons sciu be taken to secure them against the
outrages which have been so common at the
elections heretofore.
Here is plain indication of what has follow
ed. The mine prepared by the foreign party
has already been sprung. The Democrats,
under the name of vigilance committee,
have taken possession of the public armories
and in organized bands of armed ruffians pa
rade the streets and seek to strike terror into
the hearts of peaceable and law-abiding citi-
zens. They are seeking to effect by force
what they have tried in vain to do by the
ballot-box. They have seized the public ar
mories, and insolently demand that the city
government shall be placed in their hands.
The infamy of this outrage cannot be express
sed, 1t is one of the results of the rule or
ruin policy of the Democratic party, and
should make all honorable men shrink with
horror and aversion from Its very name.

A PLATFORM OF HANDs.-At a recent fire in
Boston, Mrs Hickey was caught in the third
story, and could not escape by the staircase.
She then went into the room Immediately I'M
der her own, and on her presenting herself at
the window, the persons below called on her
to take courage and observe their directions,
and they would save her. They then, to the
number of six or eight, or as many could
join, formed a circle, each man extending his
arms horizontally, and grasping with his right
hand the right, aud with his lett hand the left
hand of the man opposite, their arms crossing.
They then told her to kneel upon the window
sill, and to incline her body in such a way as
to free her head from the wall, and to fall
sideways. All being ready. she threw herself
from the third story window! Not man
drew back from the imminent peril to which
each man was exposed. ALI stood firm, and
this poor woman was received in safety on the
platform of hands and arms-without any in
jury either to them or herself.

Interesting Correspondence.

The President of the United States, on
Monday, communicated to the Senate the
correspondence in relation to the capture of
the American bark Panchita by British Of
ficer, who sent her to New York on the
lating the treaty stipulations between the
United States and Great Britain. The docu-
ments are somewhat voluminous, but
the most important, theresponse of Lord
Clarendon to Mr.. Dallas. 1t will be seen
that the British Admiraltyhave promptly
disclaimed this act of aggression on the
part of their officer, and have removed
him.. from service on the African sta
ticn, and Lord Clarendon approves the act
of censure; not, however, without advancing
something in the way of palliation for the Of
fender:
lEarl Clarendon 10 Mr.. Dallas]
FOREIGN OFFICE, October 8, 1857.
SIR: have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the 10th ultimo res
pecting the proceedings of Commdaner Mores-
by, of her Majesty's ship "Sappho," in de-
tanning on the coast of Africa and eventually
sending to New York the American bark
"Panchita," on the ground that she was en-
gagged in the slave trade.
feel that can return no more satisfac-
tory answer to your representation on this
matter than by communicating to you, for
the information of the Government of the
United States, a copy of reply which
have received from the Board of Amiralty to
the reference which made to them on the
receipt of your letter, from which you will
perceive that the Lords Commissioners have
highly disapproved of the conduct of Com
chu nd hay ad al hQ
should be removed from the station where he
might again have to deal with vessels sus-
pected of being engaged in the slave trade.
There can be no doubt that the detention of
the "Panchita," and the sending her to New
York. constituted an infraction of the treaty
between Great Britain and the United States;
but the views which the British Admiral on
the station has taken of Commander Morseby's
proceedings in this case. and the terms in
which the dspleasure of the Lords of the
Admiralty have been conveyed to that officer,
will feel assured, be satisfactory to the Gov
eminent of the United States.
But feel equally assured that great allow
ance will be made by the Government of the
United States for officers charged with the
suppression of the slave trade, who are COM
PEELED to witness the frequent and unchecked
abuse of the American flag in the prosecution
of the trade, and who see that, under the pro-
lection of that flag, and in consequence Of no
American ship-of-war having for nearly
twelve month appeared on the station, the
nefarious traffic is now carried on in the most
open and daring manner, and with a con-
stantly increasing activity.
In confederation of what l have stated
above, beg leave to transmit copies of dis
patch and its enclosures received at the
Admiralty from Rear Admiral Sir Frederick
Grey the officer commanding her Majesty's
naval forces on the west coast of Africa,
which contains the most recent information
upon the subject which has reached her Ma
jesty's Government. have the honor to be,
&C.,

ST. LOUIS, June 5.


The Republican learns from a gentleman
who left Fort Leavenworth on the I'd. and
who read all the letters from eamp Scott to
May 9th, that the news of GOV. Cumming IS
being driven from Salt Lake City is discredit-
ed. Letters from Camp Scott of the latest
date, mention no such event, and nothing was
known there of what had transpired in the
city, there being no official intercourse be-
tween Cumming and johnson. Dispatches
from Cumming to Secretary Cass were receiv-
ed at Camp Scott subsequent to the departure
of the mail on the 9th of May, and as the
news Of Cumming expulsion was only derived
from Mormon bearers, these dispatches are re-
garded as improbable. Information had
reached Camp Scott that supply of beef
cattle from Oregon was close at hand. and that
Col. Hoffman was within seven to nine days
march of the encampment.
CURE OF MILK SIcKNEss.-Mr. G. Walker. in
letter to the Chicago Farmer, asserts boldly
that be has found and fully tested cure for

"First. The cause is cobalt. No ore. in its
natural state, has ever been discovered that is
poison but cobalt have never known man
or beast TO be affected where this ore is not
found.
Second. The cure is sulphuric acid.
have tried it myself, and seen it tried upon
both man and beast, and know il to be eff
cient."
