When a prosy old gentleman, remarkable only
for the contrast between the pretentious dignity of
his demcanor and the emptiness of his conversa-
ton, claims the privilege of reading moral lee
ture for the beneft OF younger men in particular,
and the ediication of the world in general though
we may regard him as bore, and may be perfectly
conscious that he is giving vent to Can infinite
deal of nothing" we usually suffer him to maun-
der on, from respect to his age and certain pity
for his infrmities. But when this same venerable
gentleman, not content with hooking his finger
into the button-hole of youthful victim at the
corner of one of our public streets, and then and
there exercising bis sef-assumed prerogative over
the weary listener, undertakes the functions of a
journalist, and with the superciliousness of ''Sir
Oracle" and the wisdom of Dogberry, proceeds to
Law down the law of Journalism, to his contempo-
raries, it becomes us to enquire, whether his two
grains of wheat are sufficient equivalent for his
two bushels of chaff. The MesSina DOgberry de-
fines his own character when he pronounccs
Verges, "a good old man, sir but he will be
talking that is no reason why any modern
congener should find it in his heart to bestow all
his tediousness upon those who have something
We admit that the age of a newspaper may have
something to do with giving it currency, and that
like an old coin it may acquire fictitious value in
the estimation of antiquarians, which, in point of
intrinsic merit, it does not really possess. Nobody
doubts however, that newspapers of more recent
origin, like coins fresh from the mint stamped
sharply with the impress of the time, and of a
quality that will bear the test Of the analyst are
far better adapted for useful circulation than venera-
BILE sheets, conducted by venerable editors, who in
dulge in long-winded homilies on the sins of the
age, but who denounce as improper in the extreme
any public mention of the names of the sinners;
and who, like the ancient constable of Messina
'by virtue of their Office" may suspect an assas-
sin, a thief, rogue, ora rioter, to be ''no true
man, y but who advise Others as settled rule of
conduct, that the less they NEEDLE with such kind
of men ''the better it will be for their honesty -
There is something infinitely amusing in the gra-
cious and patronizing air with which these cooked
halted relics of a past generation pat their neigh
bors on the back and with sene garrulity pirate of
their age and their experience, and of the weight
that should be attached to their admonitions
There is, moreover, not unlrequenty to be found
underlying all this gratlitous counsel motive
very different from the simply philanthropc desire
to warn others from being wrecked among shoals
and quicksandS. ''Where the tooth aches the
tongue touches" and lesson on ':the weaknesses
of Journalism" certainly comes with the greatest
proprety from those who are most converSant with
the pains and penalties by which such "weall-
nesseS are accomplished.

back TO the committee, under common rule,
that all resolutions, &C., should be sent to the
committee without debate" The President
made speech about this point, in which be
denounced the motion to resfirm the Philsdel-
phis Platform as throwing fre-brand into
the Convention" This tells the whole story in
few words. The Republican party was ergan-
lied at Philadelphia in 1856, and the platform
there adopted was the bond of union amongst
Repubhcans-"t their confession Of faith" Now,
to declare its principles in State Convention,
Is to throw fire-hrand among them
One-half the Republicans of Indiana, we
presume, are pure Douglasites, and many
others hold their AntiSlavery views as sub
servient to the one grand idea of success This
is the one overriding principle of our Repub-
MISUNDERSTANDING success.
The Republican party ought to be great
party of Freedom, enlisted for the war, which
will not disband at the first victory or defeat.
Their aim should be one and constant, and they
should openly declare it, that no one will be de.
ceived, North or South. The Sou,h should
know it, and the Northern Democracy should
know it, so that all may know what to expect
in the event of success.
The candidates of the party must get square
ly on the National platform, Notwithstanding
the downward slide in the late Convention, or
they will lose thousands of honest voters.
There are men who cannot vote for men run
ming away from the faith of the party.

REPUBLICANIsM IN INDIANA.

On the 4th instant, we had our Republican
State Convention in Indiana. There seemed
to be a strong Anti.Slavery feeling. The masses
are evidently AntiSlavery, and would go the
whole figure, if the men whom they have looked
to az leaders were out of the way. Some weeks
since, it was sure there was a disposition to
lower the Republican platform. 1t was said in
the Marion County Convention to appoint dele
gates to the State Convention, by the chairman
the Republican State Central Committee y
that it, :" the Republican platform, was called
an Abolition platform" and had done us dam
age, if not defeated US, in the last elections in
this State. So they set themselves to get rid
of it in future. The Convention appointed a
committee, (through their President,) who re.
ported according to this new idea. They care
fully avoided the reafiirmation of the Pbils-
delphia Platform" This, as is well known,
was done to catch the "Know-Nothings," and
prepare the way for union with the Doug
Iasites." When it was moved to adopt the re
port of the committee, resolution was offered
az a substitute for the second resolution of the
report, "that this Convention reafirm the prin-
ciples of the Philadelphia Platform" &c.
81. 8. Lane, President of the Philadelphia Con-
yention of June II, 1856, remarked, that "this
was a resolution, and under the rule went to
the committee" The President 80 decided.
An appeal was taken, which, on motion, was
laid on the table Who ever would have sup
posed that anendatory resolutions, after the
committee had made their report, and it was
under consideration, should have been sent

OBITUARY.

Born into spirit life on the I1th of March,
1858, Isaac PIERCE, of barron street. near
hudson, summit county, in the 10th year of his
age.
Ever opposed to tyranny and oppression, and
alive to the suFerings of humanity, he early
identified himself with the Anti Slavery cause,
and labored with ell the zeal and energy Of an
ardent nature, with tongue and pen, both NOR
ally and politically, for the overthrow of Amer
lean Slavery.
A firm believer in the harmonial philosophy,
and deeply imbued with the idea of eternal pro
gression, he looked upon death but as release
from the sufferings of earth, and as passage
to higher life. TRANQUILITY and peacefully he
awaited his release, and those who watched, as
his spirit departed, knew full well,
The stamp Of Immortality upon bis brow
And snge singing anthems him now
