REPUBLICAN PLATFoRM.-The Repub.
lican Platform, is a clear and distinct
enunciation of the principles which ac-
tuated the early trainers of our Govern
ment. The planks of which it is con-
structed are found in the political creeds
of Washington, Jefferson, Marshall,
Writ, and other Fathers of the Repub-
lie. Every sentiment and sympathy of
the Republican Party harmonizes with
the most dearly cherished principle OF
Washington and Jefferson. The doc
trines that we uphold are found in ev.
cry line traced by those departed States.
men and Patriots. They abound in JEFF
tsrson's letters. They are bequeathed
to the Country in Washingten's Will.
Our opponents never attempt to spe-
city wherein the Republican Platform is
not in harmony with the doctrines OF
Jefferson; they are content to indulge in
vague and indefinite fault-fnding with
Republican principles; they. never at.
tempt to define wherein the Republican.
ism of the present day differs from that
of the early Fathers Of the Republic

DIFFICULT TO MANAGE.-Our democratic
neighbors on some accounts, would like to ex
press qualification over the defeat of the Lecomp
ton swindle in Kansas at the late election; on
other accounts they prefer not to do SO. The y
would like to draw away some of the anti-slavery
strength from the Republican ranks, by making
it appear seme how that tina democracy achieved
the pro-slavsry defeat in Kansas but how to
make this appear.consistant with the acts and
purposes of the party generally, is q matter be-
set with difficulties. The Times of this city is
cooling and wooing, democrats who left the party
on account of the objectional Kansas and Ne
braska acr, to come back to the old democrati c
(pro-slavery) fold. Hear what the Times says
Events have since proved that the democracy
were right on that question, (the Kansas and
Nebraska acD and that the fears of some of our
friends at the time, were utterly groundless."
Why is it Kansas is not slave state to day I?
Certainly it is for no lack of effort or purpose of
the Democracy. A democratic President and
democratic Congress, spared no effort to force
slavery into Kansas by compelling the people to
accept constitution recognizing slavery. But
now since by a determined opposition on the
part of free state men the administration has
been defeated in its plans and purposes to make
Kansas a slave stale, the democracy would like
well to make anti-slavery men believe that it is
all owing to the immaculate virtne of the DEM
ocratic party. 4s. a
If the democracy really desired to make Kan
sas free state, why did they repeal the Missouri
Compromise, which presented certain barrier
to its ever becoming a slave state Not to
emu merate the many acts of the like ,characte
all calculated to fasten slavery on Kansas, let us
come down to facts within the past few months.
If the democracy were in favor of making Kan
sas free state, why did the leading democratic
presses counsel the acceptance of the proposition
with the Lccompton constitution as presented in
the English billi How many democratic pres
SEES advised the people of that Territory to re-
jet the English proposition with pro-slavery
constitution Who will undertake to name n

DIR. Rauch, in Your last weeks issue
says that he was compelled to state pub
hcly that the Turnverein has nothing
to do with the leading political ele:
ments, or religion. Whether that com.
pulsion proceeded from inherent neces.

whether that compulsory process was
mate or circumstantial, is a moral one,
and therefore let it pass
He says further, that the Turnverein
of this city, is independent as it has no

fostering care and auspices of Barstows

Normal School Connected with the Ke
nosha Public School.


The Board of Normal School Regents
of this State, in pursuance of an act o.
the Legislature, have prescribed rules
and regulations for the organization Of
Normal Schools, connected with the
Academies and Union High Schools o.
the State. 1t will be recollected that 9
fund derived from the sale of lands, de.
nominated "swamp lands" has been set
apart for the encouragement of Normal
School instruction. Academies and
Public High Schools, complying with
the requirements of the act of the Legis-
lature, and the regulations prescribed by
the Board of Normal School Regents, in
the establishment of q Normal Depart
ment, will be entitled to, and receive an
apportionment from the said fund. This
fund is already quite respectable, and
will be yearly increasing in amount.
The Board of Education of this city,
have resolved upon the establishment of
a Normal School Department, and are
DESTROYS to have its organization COM
'pleted, as soon as practicable, after the
commencement of the term OH Monday
next. All who designte pursue the oc-
cupation of teaching, will find it greatly
to their advantage to become members
of the Normal class. There can be no
doubt but that decided preference will
hereafter be given to candidates for
teaching, who have pursued course Of
studies in Normal School. Teaching
is very generally beginning to be regard
ed as profession, and those who wish
to engage in the business, SD ould be re-
quired to qualify especially for it.
In pursuance of the regulations of the
State Board of Normal School Regents,
students who propose to enter the Nor
NAL class, will be required to pass an ex-
animation by the Principal in the follow
lowing studies:--
Reading, Spelling, Written Arithme-
tic, Elementary Algebra, Physiology,
History of the United States, English
Grammar, through the ordinary treatise
used in the common schools of this State,
Descriptive Geography, Composition,
Elementary Sounds. a.oJ
1t is also required that the age of stu
dents entering the Normal Department,
in order to entitle the institution to draw
from the fund on their behalf, shall not
be less than sixteen years /; also an
actual attendance upon the instruc-
tons of the Department, not less than
sixty-fve days, during the year. The
law Of the State declares, that tuition in
the Normal School shall be free to all
who are admitted. ...--
In order that the sixty-fve days of
Normal instruction may be accomplish
ed during the first term Fifteen weeks)
of our Public School, which commences
on Monday the 9Th of September, it will
be necessary to organize the Normal
Department as near the commencement
of the term as practicable. t.l

Popular Sovereignty Theory and Dem
ocratic Practice,

Our neighbor Of the KenOsha Times
felicitates himself because we maintain
that "the people of Kansas shall be al
lowed to frame their fundamental law
without foreign interference" The
Times does not seem to comprehend the
difference between rightful or consti-
tutional oversight in relation to the af-
fairs of territory by the general gov
eminent, and the unlawful interference
by ruffianly marsuders from bordering
State. The Times seems to have got
ten an idea that the government of the
United States bears "foreign" relation
to the territories, and that all agitation
OF Congress in respect to the territories
is foreign interference. This is carry
ing the matter farther than the democ-
racy has ever practised, whatever may
be its professions. When did the de-
mocracy in power ever refuse to appoint
Governors, Senators, Marshals, Judges
of Courts, prescribe the qualification of
voters, give laws, and many things need
full for the protection and government of
Territory9 Yet, according to the no.
ton of the Times, this is foreign interfe-
renee.
Butsince the Times is disposed to regard
the acts of the general government in
respect to the territories ''foreign inter-
ference, it may not be amiss to refer to
the transactions of the modern democra-
oy withirl short time past. 1t is USE
less to quote the popular sovereignty
plank in the democratic platform, when
it is notorious the party have practically
refused to abide by it in a single in
stance. A man Is judged by his acts,
not his profession. Did not the democ-
racy in the last Congress, for the space
OF four months or more, make strenuous
efforts to force upon the people of Kan
sas the Lecompton Constitutional in
strument which never emanated from
the people of the territory, but which an
overwhe lming majority utterly detested,
as is proven by the result of the late
election? Did not the President make
the adoption of the Leeompton Consti-
tuition one of the leading measures of his
administration. Now, will the Times
tell us, without equivocation, whether il
regards the attempted enforcement OF
Lecompton upon the people of Kansas
by the democracy, consistent with pop.
nlar sovereignty, or was it unjustifable
''foreign interference"
The Democracy talk loudly about
popular sovereignty-leaving the people
to regulate their institutions in their own
way, &C., but when and where. bv any
official act, have the Democratic AID.
ministration fulfilled their promises
of "leaving domestic questions to be set.
tied by the people themselves" Wher
and where have they consented to ''tht
recognition of the right of States, hav
ing Republican Constitutions, to admis
sion into the Union?" Was it whel
they forced Government and Legis
lature of Missouri Rufians, upon the un

the bayonet? Was it when they useC

A New ERA IN GUNNERY.-The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Times, recording an account of
experiments madein that city, with what
is known as the Sawyer, says, it is the
unanimous opinion Of the Ordinance of
fcers that this gun stands without a ri
val. At the distance of one mile the
body of an ordinary sized tree could not
be missed once in fifty times, so ex-
act are its line shots. Mr.. SAWYER SUI
perintends the firing in person, and in
seventeen shots, at distance of one
mile, the furthest was not over three
feet from the centre, Such shooting
was never known before, and these ex.
periments show that new era in gun
merry has dawned upon us.

with song Unions, and instead ofuphol-
ding progressive tendencies, nothing re-.
mains but simple German Sociality; but
if the present tendencies are to be maiu-
tanned, it will also be necessary to take
political stand point-it is certainly
asking but little to oppose the pro-sla-
very tendencies of the present Demo
cratic party. Hewho knows what Rad
icalism is, knows that between 1t and
the present Republican party, there is
a wide differenee-but he also knows
that the present Democratic party is d.
rectly opposed to progress. G. Tafell
has said that no Leoomptonites belong
to the Union--whieh sounds, about the
same as when q Society in econtending
for the honorable character of its. mem
bers, should state, that none have come
directly out OF the Penitentiary. yf.i-ea
