Whut one OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
OmDIiSl!

The "great ones" of the earth ave
been justly desinated as such for having
achieved ends and objects uDattained by
their fellow men. IF we trace the rise
and progress of them, We shall see, that
not only has their success been owing
to a new idea or original suggestion, but
in a far greater measure to the syste-
matte mode of carrying out the projects,
and bringing them to a successful issue.
In no instance has this fact been more
truly exempliied than in the career and

Much more could be said on this
point than can we'll come within the.
scope of this short article, which we
have thought it our duty to devote to a

that may have escaped the observation,
and consequently the due Appreciation

Mr.. Peter Cooper, President of the
Atlantic Telegraph Company, on Thurs
day telegraphed to Mr.. Field, stating
that he was very anxions to know if the.

had been successfully laid, and signals
were passing uninterruptedly throughout
its entire length. Mr.. Cooper states that
it was arranged that no message should
be transmitted either way until the
Queens greeting had been sent to Mr..
for the receipt of that message before we
can know anything definite about the
success of the enterprise. Mr.. Cooper
himself has no doubt of the fact that the
Cable has been successfully laid to Eo.h
coasts, as telegraphed by Mr.. Field
The following dispatch has been %receiv-

Thc Ohio RESOLUTIONS.

The platform of the Democracy adopt
ed at the late Convention meets the un.
qualified approval of everybody but the
Black Republicans. They don't like i
at all, and we are very glad of it. 1t is
incontestable proof that it is good. 1t:
excellent and effective character annOys
them to the last degree. This platform
will be a guide for the Democracy OF
other States. The Milwaukee Ne1o'
declares it to be the embodiment of the
sentiments of the Democracy of the
| Great North West. The Pitsburg Pos
commends it in the most marked man,
ner; and that wise, bold and consistent
Democrat, Colonel HARVEY, of the
Louisville Democrat, rejoices over the
position assumed by the United Demo
cracy of this State. Below We give ex,
tracts from our exchanges upon this
subject:
On Thursday last, the Democrats OF
Ohio met in State Convention at Col
umbus. The Convention was composed
of the best material of the party, and
the best spirit was manifested through
out the proceedings A general desire
prevailed for Democratic harmony upon
the basis of Democratic principles. The
truly national spirit of the men who
composed the convention devoted its
energies to the great end and aim OF
union and harmony in the party. Their
highest purpose appears to have been to
consolidate the party-to make the
Democracy of Ohio a unit in design
and purpose. The platform of resolu-
tons adopted is an admirable one, and
will command the support of every true
member of the Democratic organization.
1t re afirms the doctrine of the Gin
cinnati platform, and declares the Lee
compton controversy at an end, refusing
to recognize it as a test to be prescribed
by either side of those who differed in
opinion upon it. The bold and manly
and true Democratic ground is taken
that all are good enough Democrats who
uphold the cardinal principles of the
party, and sustain its organization by
voting the Democratic ticket. This is
true Democratic liberality, and will be
endorsed by every national Democrat
in the country. In the establishment
of their platform, the Democracy of
Ohio have placed themselves upon the
highest stand point to which they could
possibly have arrived. Let those of
other States follow tnciff patriotic exam
ple.-PiusJurgh Post.
We are gratifed to see that the Dem
ocracy of Ohio are closing up their
ranks, Notwithstanding the discussions
over the Kansas question. Now that
the constitution has been sent back, to
be accepted or rejected by the people of
Kansas, and no issue can well arise on
the subject upon which Democrats are
likely to differ, they have no just cause
for dissension.-LowisciM Dem.

Extract from President Buchau-
ans Message.

Under the earlier practice of the Coy
eminent no constitution framed by the
convention of a Territory, preparatory
to its admission into the Union as a
State, had been submitted to the people.
1 trust, however, the example set by the
last Congress, requiring that the Con
stitution of Minnesota should be sub
ject to the approval and ratification OF
the people of the proposed State, may
be followed on future occasions.
1t will be seen that the fourth reso-
luton Of the Democratic Platform
adopted at Columbus on the goth, in
favor of the constitutions Of new States
being submitted to the people, is exact
ly the doctrine of President Buchanan

A Retreat for the Norm ons.


I he St. Louis Leader learns from Father
Desmet, Catholic Missionary, who has spent
many years among the Indian tribes on
either slope of the Rocky Mountains, that
there is perfectly practicable and easy
route, North from Salt Lake, to the British
Possessions. Desmet travelled the route sew
eral times with light wagons. aud gives il as
his conviction, that if the Mormons leave
their present location, they will probably
proceed North and TO New Caledonia, in
British America, and settle at the base OF
Portage Mountain near the 49th parallel
The route is described in detail. The coun-
try, and climate is stated to be eminently SUI
perior in every respect to that of Utah. The
Leader calls the especial attention of the War
Department, and the public to its article.
