GOLD DUO OF I857.-The best
English authorities put down the production
of gold in Australia for the past year at one
hundred millions ofdollars. The production
in other countries is estimated as follows;
California, Sos 200, 900; Russia and Siberia,
$40, 1000, 900; other parts of the world, 3d.
900, 900. Total, 500, 900 900. We thus
have two hundred millions as the gold crop
of 1857, and the actual amount is likely TO
be rather more than the estimated aggre-
gate. At this rate, two thou sand millions
Of gold viii be thrown into the monetary cir
c~ulation OF the world during the next ten
years.

The DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM
The Cincinnati Times, American, in pub
fishing the resolutions of the Democratic
Convention, remarks
Relying more upon party discipline and
power than upon the viii of the people, the
Convention expresses its confidence in the
purity, patriotism and ability of the Presi-
dent. At the same time it disavows the test
of Democracy set up at Washington. and
declares very plainly that a want of faith in
Lecompton, is no, d~isparagement to ones
Democracy.
The Anti Lecompton Democracy it seems
were readily satisfied. Even "Gov.''
Payne asked nothing further than the aDo-
lition of the Lecompton test, and the re-ad-
mission of himself and his boiling friends TO
full communion. The Gov" changes rap
idly.
The Convention, very compiacentiy de-
claring the Kansas question settled, en-
beavers to raise the issue of negro suffrage.
They will scarcely be met on that issue
But that and other questions set forth in the
platform are minor to the great question be-
fore the people. 1t is plain that The Ohio
Democracy have harmonized, with the sup
pert of the administration as their basis, and
it goes into the canvass as the administration
party, and The administration party only
That is the issue they themselves have
made.
The Cincinnati Gazette says of the plat
form and p eeches
In brief, the platform is a studied effort to
dodge the real issues now before the people;
to satisfy both wings of the party by I'M
meaning or d~eceilfui phrases; and to ena-
bic the Democracy 70 wear whichever face
it chooses, to suit particular localities. AS
such, however, it strikes US d failure. The
Buchanan men evidently had their own way
throughout, and the Anti-Lecomptonites are
compelled to succumb. If the platform has
a meaning, it is this, and no more.
The speeches of the afternoon and even
were peculiar in the kind and variety of the
speakers, if not the words uttered. Payne
was the most groveling, the most obsequi-
Gus of all, in his complete surrender to the
Administration. Those who heard him at
Smith & Nixou's Hail last winter, need on
ly 10 see what a turnkey and sycophant he
made OF himself at Columbus, to understand
the man. Senator Pugh, too, had his say
though evidently without any spirit for the
affray. He still hangs to the coat tail Of
Buchanan, though virtually spurued from
his presence, and actually shut out. forever
from his sympathy. Cox made5 a mos
shameless confession % his hypocrisy in the
Anti-Lecompton business.
Thus ends the programme Of the 5uchan'
GERS, who had everything in their own way
with the smallest possible concession to tht
srebcls'' in order to "consoiidate the party
The Democracy of Ohio, standing now
fairly on the Green-English platform, have
prepared the way for an overwhelming de
feat, from the united columns of the OPpo
sition.

reputed to have proved efficacious in
many instances, but which, in these
cases failed entirely, the bite proving
fatal in a few hours. Whisky was
finally tried, and after the dog had
been bitten on the feshy part OF the

A SENSIBLE VIEW OF THE REPUBLICAN,
PARrY-1'he Hon. J. C. Breckenridge, Vice
President of the United States, lately made
a stump speech at some obscure place in
Kentucky, intended 10 bear on the election
then about 10 take place in that State. 1t
was not perhaps quite in keeping with the
dignity of his position to make a stump
speech at all: but it is credible TO him that
he uttered north truth on that occasion than
usually falls from the lips of a Democratic or
ator. He appreciates the position and
strength of the Republican party, as may
be seen by the following extracts from his
speech
1.-The Republican party" said he, ais the
strongest organization in the Union, unless
the Democratic party is a stranger. 1t is
the only great living vital organization that
has or can withstand the Democratic par
ty. 1t is a powerful, a compact, a hopeful!
organization. *
Republicans don't mean to change their
name or issues; they are too strong. toe
powerful, too confident for that, and yet you
are invited by some Kentuckians to 90 in
with them and form a Peoples party, to break
down this great dominant party. +
Don't depreciate the strength Of the Repub-
Ian party. lis principles are deeper and
broader, and its purposes more r~esolute thaf
anything on the surface would Indicate
Don't underr ale their power"
