New Democratic PLATFORM.

The Albany EUening journal in publish
ing the debate in the U. s. Senate recently
on the Slavery question, collates from the
sentiments expressed by the Democratic
Senator'S upon that occasion. what it regards
as the new Democratic Platform.
The Democratic Senators proclaim, as 10
Slavery in the Territories, that Congress
can do nothing to keep the Settlers from
having it, and that the Settlers can do moth
ing to keep from having it, themselves.
They insist that it goes wherever the
Federal Government goes, but it does moi
stop where the Federal Government stops,
for no seal of State or staff of Office can keep
it out. That wherever we plant the Amer
lean Flag, there we plant Slavery. That
wherever we carry the. Constitution, there
we carry the anction block, the manacles.
and the lash!
They claim that laws establishing it, by
wbomever passed, must be enrolled on thai
statute book, but that laws prohibiting it, by
whomever passed, are worthless as blank
paper. When New Mexico adopts law ii
its favor, they pronunce it chain of iron
When Kansas adopts law against it, they
pronounce it rope of sand.
new states, they declare, may Ireely copy
the Institutions of South Carolina. but they
declare it is treason for them to copy the in,
stitutions of New York.
In word, they hold that anybody may
legislate Slavery in, but that nobody car
legisIate it out! They demand Congress;on
al legislation to protect 1t tn the Territories
and failing to get that, threaten to dissolve
first their Party and then the Union!
Upon this consistent and attractive plat
form they proposed to fight the battle o.

"War inevitable in Europe is the start
ling heading of the correspondence of the
Tribune, dated s'London, March Is, 1852"
Austria, France, Russia, England, and Eu-
rope, in greater or less degree, are to be
involved in it. War, we take it, is inevita-
BILE in Europe, and always will be as long as
the present systems of governments prevail
there. Force is their basis and war their
normal condition. Peace is the result only
of exhaustion, and never can nor will last
longer than the recovery of energy sufficient
to go to blows again. Those European
governments are like so many bullies IN a
ring, and should they not be supplanted by
just and popular governments, will inevita-
ble destroy and consume each other, until
one gigantic despotism alone remains. Of
course, war is inevitable in Europe. The
only question is, when will it commence,
and what will be its extent and Duration
In the meantime, America offers the expert
ment of radically different form of gov
ernment, one whose foundation is justice,
and leads to peace instead of war. That ex-
pertinent is now being tried. We have a
confidence that it will prove successful
The government is sound at the core, and a
return to the principles on which it Is foun-
ded, is alone necessary to make the expert
ment of righteous, just, and peacable hu-
man government entirely successful. In the
meantime, war will continue TO prevail in
Europe, until, through blood and tribulation,
the principles of justice, which are alone
the principles of peace, are established there.

We understand that many persons in this

as no Post Route bin passed Congress, and
even if it had passed, it would have been
entirely different from the list In the pam

put on any route, until it is declared to be
a Post Route by law. and as all the Missou-

course they have gone by the board. The
bill as it passed the House, had only two
routes to the gold mines. one from Dia-

one from Fort Kerney, on the Platte river,

bill had also route from Kansas City to
