An immense congregation met in and around
Faneuil Hall, this evening, to raty the nomination
of Messrs. Bell and Everett. The spacious building
was thronged to its utmost capacity. Delegations
from neghborng towns swelled the vast procession,
each bearing banners, ringing bells, and carrying
transparencies. One Of the latter, surmounted by
bell created the greatest enthusiasm, aud the de-
vice, as follows, was received with great applause

.Sss- Senator Benjamin, in his late speech, said
that the Slavery clause in the Kansas Nebraska bill
wasdesignedy made ambiguous, itbeing agreed be-
that the Supreme Court should decide the power of
the Territories over slavery, and that the decision
should be binding. The decision has been made
and Douglas flies the track. This little item Of
history will open the eyes of the people as to the
manner in which they are bought and sold by dem
ocratlc leaders. The intentional ambiguity Of the
Kansas bill was engrafted upon the Chicago plat
form, and by double constructon--one North and
tue other South-the people were gulled into the
support of the democratic ticket and now have the
modification of knowing that they brought into
power the present corrup; and mbecile Administra-
ton,

BsSs- Right upon the heels Of Postmaster Fow-
lers theft of some sl7O,OOO of the public money,
comes the startling fact--elcited by the Covode
Committee-that Col, Forney was offered through
Attorney General Black, the sum of $4,000 pro-
vided lie would support the Administration. Also
thu additional fact that one Murphy was employed
to carry five thousand voters from New York to
Connecticut at so much head, for the purpose Of
carrying the latter State for the Administration,
at the last March election. How long will the peo-
pie endure this reign Of locOfocO corruption?

ells- 1t amuscs us to hear the democratic leader

Eess- II amuses us TO hear the democratic leaders
crying out that the Union party have no platform
Why our platform is broad enough and strong
enough for every man in the confederacy. Main
tain the Constitution involate, and the Union Is
safe enforce the laws, which are NATIONAL and the
South win have no cause to complain of the North
snd the North, Of the South No sensible man can
task more of any Administration than the faithful
discharge Of these high duties. What were the
platforms of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison
and Monroe2 They were the Constitution the
Union, the enforcement Of the laws and their own
Invaluable public services.
Modern democracy however in its eagerness to
deceive the people and possess the spells, inaugura-
ted the policy Of platforms with two faces For
years it worked well tor the leaders, but badly for
the best interests of the country. At last the lead
efs, who commenced by cheating the people with
two-faced platforms, took to cheating one another
and mark the result in the "blow up at Charles.
ton. Had democracy stuck to the Constitution
the Union, and the enforcement of the laws theli
platform, all its corruption could not have produced
- split in the party. Platforms have crushed it
and may it emerge from e ruins of the faler
fabric based upon mercenary partizan feeling ant
temporarily sustained by fraud and corruption.

peA.. Sam Houston has accepted the nomination
for the Presidency rendered him by the mass meet
ing on the battlefield of San Jacinto and thus
complexities still the political status of the APP
preaching canvass. The probable effect of this
movement is, yet hidden from the keenest vision,
and speculation even is idle until the Conventions
at Richmond and Baltimore have met and adjourned.
Should these bodies make separate nominations
Douglas and fire-eater--the Democratic vote of the
South win be dividedexcepta portion Of the better
class which will go for Bell--between Houston and
the Richmond nominee, whilst that of the North
will be divided between Houston and Douglas The
effect of such division will be to give the South
to Bell and Everett, and to narrow down the con-
test in the North, between the Union and Republic
tickets. Such being the case, it is safe to say
that Douglas will not carry single State-.North
ar Southland that the Union ticket will succeed.
Butas these views predicated upon supposton,
their value is contingent upon the future and un-
certain action of the two locofoco Conventions.
