Upon dc pubIieation of these appoin

Upon the publication OF these appoint
ments the State Journal remarks:
"The majority Of the Board with mag
nanimity that is credit to their manhood,
if not to partizanship, have accorded to Mr..
Backus, the democratic minority, the ap-
pointment of Engineer aud Superintendents
of his division, with exception of which, all
the appointments are of good Republicans,
and all yet to be made will be the same"
That is cool, certainly. We can sec no
"maguauimity" and positively no justice in
allowing Mr.. Baekus to make the appoint
ments in this section that he has. The
Engineer, Superintendent and Gate-keepers
are all Of the Backus stamp, and every lit
tie particle Of patronage to be bestowed on
the entire line Of the Road will be put into
the hands of those who tried their best to
defeat the Republican candidates, and men
continued in office who have been again
and again condemned by the voters Of this
section Of the State. The whole list OF
appointees on the w. 2. & NJ. Road should
have been Republicans, who fought for and
gained the great victory of the Northwest.
That exception which the State Journal
makes is certainly news in this section.

PRESENCE OF MIND IN LITTLE Boy
A gentleman while passing through street
inhabited by poor people, in New York, on
Monday, heard an infantile voice crying
'help, helpp He rushed 10 aud found a
little fiye-year old-boy, holding bed blan-
ket around his little sister, two years young
or, who had caught her clothes on fire; and
the little hero had succeeded in extinguish-
ing the flames. The boy, 10 answer to the
question why he wrapped the bed blanket
around his sisters burning clothes, said bis
ma had told him that was the best way TO
put ont the fire; and as to why he hallooed
''help, helpw that he was afraid he could
not succeed and wanted some one to help.
He was then asked why he did not leave
his sister and run into the street and cry for
helpi He answered, with tears in his eyes
and fixed determination "No, l never
would have left her She was my sister,
Had she burned up, would have burned
too"

Cleveland as an Independent sheet, called

its mask and stands forth an out and out
locofoco sheet, of the most intense slave
tradingand slave-driving kind. Itpreserved
its neutrality with its terms down to fifty
cents year until it could get up largo

mask and declares itself supporter of the
Charleston nominee, whoever he may be-
A secret circular has been printed and sent
TO every postmaster and Office holder in the
land, asking them to get subscribers for it;
advising them to work 'hke beavers quiet
ly but vigorously" and thus they think to
poison the minds of the voters, not by giIa
ing them the truth but by publishing false
hoods One of these circulars has been
sent us from Green Creek, where we are
told there arc 80 or 90 copies taken. We
suppose there are men canyassing Sandusky
county for this same locofoco sheet. We
advise our friends throughout the county to
let it alone, and those who have been duped
into taking it, can see by its last issue what
its political sentiments are.

sound Republican documents and papers

THE TWO DEMOCRATIC" PLAT
FORMS.

For the convenience of future reference,
we present our readers with the Douglas
and Breckenridge platforms
Platform Of the Southern PrO-SIave-
ry Party.
The CANDIDATES.
For PreSident-JoHN G.. BRECKENRIDGE of
Kentucky.
For Vice President-JosEPH LANE, of Or
egon.
ReSoLUed, That the platform adopted by
the Democratic party at Cincinnati be af-
frmed, with the following explanatory res
olutions:
l. That the Government of a Territory
organized by an act of Congress is provis-
ional and temporary, and during its exist
ence all citizens of the United States have
an equal right to settle with their property
in the territory, without their rights, either
in person or property, being destroyed by
Congressional or Territorial legislation.
2. That it is the duty of the Federal Gov
eminent, in all the departments, when neces-
sary, to protect the rights of persons and
property in the Territories, and wherever
else its constitutional authority extends
3. That when the settlers in Territory,
having an adequate population, form State
Constitution, the right of sovereignty COM
mences, and being consummated by their
admission into the Union, they stand on an
equality with the people of other States,
and State thus organized ought to be ad-
mitted into the Federal Union, whether its
Constitution prohibits or recognizes the in
stitution of slavery.
4. That the Democratic party are in favor
of the acquisition of Cuba, on such terms
as shall be honorable to ourselves and just
to Spain, at the earliest practicable mo-
ment.
5. That the enactment of State Legisla-
lures to defeat the faithful execution of the
Fugitive Slave Law are hostile in charac-
ter, subversive of the Constitution, and rev.
dictionary in their effects.
6. That the Democracy of the United
States recognize it as an imperative duty OF
the Government to protect the naturalized
citizen in all his rights, whether at home or
in foreign lands, 10 the same extent as its
native born citizens.
Whereas, One of the greatest necessities
of the age, in political, commercial, post
al, and military point of view, is speed y
communication between the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts; therefore be it ReSolUed,
7. That the National Democratic party
do hereby pledge themselves to use every
means in their power to secure the passage
of some bill, to the extent of their consti-
tutional authority by Congress, for the con-
struction of railroad to the Pacific Ocean,
at the earliest practicable moment.

noblest instincts of our hearts down to the
sordid greediness of gain, every impulse of
human nature is engaged in this universal
conspiracy. How can you resist? Where
are your friends in the North? Your ever
ready supporters are scattered to the winds
by enchantment never to unite again. Hear
them trying to save their own fortunes,
swear with treacherous eagerness that they
have nothing in common with you. And
your opponent Your boasts have lost their
charm, your threats have lost their terror
upon them. The attempt is idle to cloak
the sores Of Lazarus with the lion skin of
Hercules. Every one of your boasts is un-
derStood as a disguised moan of weakness
every shout of defiance as a disguised
cry for mercy. That game is played out.
Do not deceive yourselves. This means not
only destruction of a party-this means
the defeat of a cause. Be shrewder than
the shrewdest, Drawer than the bravest-it
is all in vain; your cause is doomed.
And in the face of all this you insist up
on hugging, with logged stubbornesS, your
fatal infatuation. Why not, with manly
boldness, swing round into the great march
of progressive humanity You say it can
not be done to-day. Can it be done to-mor
row ? Will it be easier twenty, fifty, years
hence, when the fearful increase of the ne
gro population will have aggravated the
evils of slavery an hundred fold, and with
it the different ties of its extinction Did
you ever think of this The final crisis
will come, with the memorable certainty Of
fate, the more terrible the longer it is de-
lsyed. VIII you content yourselves with
the criminal words, " After me the del
uge ?" Is this the inheritance you mean to
leave to coming generations? Hear me,
Shareholders of America If you have no
sense of right, no appreciation of your own
interests, l implore you, have at least pity
upon your children
hear the silly objection that your sense
of honor forbids you to desert your cause.
Sense of honor? Imagine future genera
ton standing around the tombstone of the
bravest of you, and read the inscription:
"Here lies gallant man who lived and
died true to the cause of-human slavery"
What will the verdict be His very prog
eny will disown him, and exclaim " He
must have been either knave or a fool !"
There is not one of you who, if he could
rise from the dead a century hence, would
not gladly exchange his epitaph for that of
the meanest of those who were hanged ct
Charlestown.
Sense of honor Since when has it be-
come dishonorable TO give up the errors of
yesterday for the truths of to-day-to pre-
vent future disasters by timely reforms
Since when has it ceased to be the highest
glory to sacrifice ones prejudices and mo-
mentary advantages upon the altar OF COM
mon veal But those who seek their glory
in stubbornly resisting what is glorious must
find their end in inglorious misery.

effect within the said Territory of Nebraska
as elsewhere within the United States, ex-
cept the eighth section of the act prepara-
tory to the admission of Missouri into the

called the Compromise Measures, is hereby
declared imperative and void it being the
true intent and meaning of this act not to
