DOUGLAS DEFINING HIS PCsI-
TON.

Senator DOUGLAS has written a letter, which
we give below, defining his position in regard
to the candidacy for the Presidency. It is
adroitly got up, intimating a willingness to
take a nomination with that contemplate Jug
gle known as the " Cincinnati Platform y as
his chart-a platform that Is susceptible of any
Interpretation politicians choose to put upon it,
and is not understood to mean the same thing
in any two States in the Union, or scarcely by
any two persons. He however re-afirmsa and adj
heres to his "squatter sovereignty" doctrines,
an opposes a slave code for the territories.

"WAruINGroN, June 90, 1859-SIy Dear
Sir Il have received your letter inquiril93
whether my friends are at liberty to present my
name to the Charleston Convention for Presi-
dental nomination. Before this question can
be finally determined, it will be necessary to
understand distinctly upon what issues the can
vass is to be conducted.
IT, as l have full faith they will, the demo-
cratic party shall determine in the presidential
election of 1860, to adhere to the principles
embodied in the compromise measures of 1850,
and ratified by the people in the presidential
election Of 1852, and reafirmcd in the Kansas
Nebraska act of 1854, and incorporated into
the Cincinnati platform in 1856, as cxpounded
by Mr.. Buchanan in his letter accepting the
nomination and approved by the people in his
election-in that event, my friends will be at
liberty to present my name to the Convention,
if they see proper to do so. If on the contra
ry, it shall become the policy of the Democrat
ic party, which l cannot anticipate, to repudi-
ate these, their time honored principles, on
which We have achieved so many patriotic tri-
and in lieu of them the Convention shall .
interpolate into the creed of the party such
issue S as the revival Of the African
Trade, or a Congressional Slave Code
for the territories, or the doctrine that the Con
s~titution of the United States either establish
IS or prohibits slavery in the territories beyond
the power of the people legally to control it,
rs other property, it isdue to candor to say that
n such an event | could not accept the nomin-
ttion if rendered to me.
Trusting that this answer will be deemed
sufficiently explicit, l am, very respectfully,
-Our friend,
lSignedl IS. A. DOUGLASS"

THE RIVER PO.-From the following
description, it would appear that the
Pc beats the Mississippi tout ofsight,"
in the way of levees +:
The Pc presents a very singular
spectacle-the vegetable earth and
sand brought down by the torrents
which come down from the mountains,
constantly fill up its bed, and thus
threaten the surrounding country with
i%nundation. In order to guard
against that danger, the people on the
banks have everywhere raised en-
bankments, which are increased as the
river rises, % that in some places the
waters of the Pc run as high as the
tops of the neighboring ~steeples. 1t
is everywhere bordered by lateral
canals, and the water which filters
through the embankments, renders the
country very near marshy. The i'm.
portance of this river for the beliger-
ent armies may be readily understood.

A GIRL ON FRE-TERRrBLE SPEC!
TACLE.-A daughter of Mr.. David
Keller, of Stroudsburgh, while passing
through the house on Sunday evening
last, with a large fluid lamp in her
hand, split some fluid over the top as
is supposed, which ignited and instant
ly set her clothes on fire. Being clad
in light material, the flames rapidly
spread, and the poor girl frightened
and in agony, imprudently rushed out
of doors, before any of the inmates of
the house could assist her. The pas
sage through the air augmented the
flames and enyeloped her person in one
complete blaze. A number of persons
were standing on the side walk in front
Of the house, and at the hotel opposite,
at the time, who instantly rushed to
the rescue, and commenced tearing the
blazing garments from her, but the fire
had reached such an ascendency, that
before this could be accomplished, the
most other garments were Utterly burn
ed from her person. The whole time
from the appearance of the girl on tho
street, until she fell upon the ground,

during that time CLEANED up and illu-
minated the whole street, and the scene
is described by an eyewitness as hor-
ribIe beyond description. She died in
