THE CINCINNATI PLAryoRM-The Washing
ton Constitution reafirms the Cincinnati plat
form; the Richmond Enquirer demands the
Cincinnati platform; the Ch salier Forncy
swears by the Cincinnati platform; Wise,
Douglas, JeG Davis, Slidell, and oil the leaders
aud cliques Of the Democracy, insist upon the
Cincinnati platform. Why not, then, agree on
all sides to readopt the Cincinnati platform al
Char lesion! Very true, General Bowman says,
it means non.intervention with niggers in the
Territories; while Gov. Wise says it means .
Congressional slave code; and Judge Douglas
saws it 10 sQuatter sovereignty; but what else

PRAcrIcED UPoN MRS. DUDLEY.-Mrs. Belinda
Dudley, the patroness Of the Dudley Observa-
tory, has become involved in very grave diifi-
Guilty in regard to her property. Two years ago
she made her will. Recently it was rumored in
Albany that Mrs. Dudley had conveyed all her
property in trust to Rutgsr B. Miller, Jr., and
nm investigation led to the discovery Of the fact
that such deed was on record in the Clerks
Office Of the county Of Oneida. The subscri-
bing witness 10 Rutger B. Miller, father Of the
person in whose favor the conveyance ID made.
In it she revokes al former devises, wills, tes-
taments and powers whatsoever made by her,
The questionable circumstances about the deed
are, that she went out Of the city of Albany
for xn attessiUg witness; that she never cons
suited her confidential business agent, VIM. A.
Detx about 1t, nor her usual legal adviser. Mrs.
Dudley now says she signed the paper at the
suggestion Of NJ. Miller. senior, under the
suppoeiton that she was executing power Of
attorney, authorizing the adjustment Of some
difficulties growing out Of the Dudley Observa-
tory controversy. The amount Of property
disposed Of BY the deed il about t25O. O.OOO.--
Some legaciss are charged upon it In the deed,
but the bulk goes to the young Miller, upon the
condition that be assumes the name Of her
father. Rutgsr Bleeksr.
