Mr.. Bates, Platform.

We publish on our first page, the re,
ply of Hon. Edward Bates to certain
interrogatories propounded to him by
several prominent and influential Re-
pubicans of Missouri. As far as he
goes, his opinions are such as will meet
the approval of the Republican party.
Bnt we have been unable to discover
that he has revised the opinions he ex-
pressed to the New York old line
Wing meeting, some months ago, as
to the necessity Of the Republican or
ganization. He seems careful now not
to appear inconsistent with the views
he then uttered. Still his platform is
sound if not a very wide one.

We publish in to-day's paper the
Homestead Bill as it passed the House
of Representatives on the 18th inst,
and invite our readers to give it care
fulperusal. As was expected, every Re-
publican in the House voted for the
bill, while the Democracy, North and
South went against it. Thus we see that
however much the democracy NAV

steads5 when they come to vote
upon the question where they place
themselves. They do not want the
emigration to the territories from the
Northern States which would be sure
to follow the passage of this bill. They
have seen the effects of such emigra-
ton in Kansas and have no taste for
it. They see that the effect of opening
the territories freely to all who choose
to make their homes there, will be to
shut out forever the slave-driver and
his human chattels.
Should this bill pass the Senate, i,
will be hailed as one of the most bene-
fetal acts that has ever become law.
But we fear that it will never pass that
body; or, if it does, will be so modified
and amended as to loose its distinctive
features.
In the Senate, the bill was referred
to the Committee on Public Lands,
who reported, as substitute, a bill
drafted by Mr.. Johnson, of Tenn. Mr..
Johnson's bill excludes from among
those who shall have the benefit of

widowers without children, and for

who are recipients of lands under the

1t is said that the Republicans will
accept Mr.. Johnson's bill if they can
not get the one which passed the
House-which is very improbable, as it
will require the votes Of eight Demo

Important Suit.

In the Circuit Court New York on
Friday case was tried in which Col.
James Patton, formerly resident Of
this village, was involved. 1t is thus
reported in the Herald:
The Neo Albany and Salem Rai!
road Company Us. Simeon Leland d
Co.-This case was tried on Friday
and submitted to the jury, who were
directed to bring in a sealed verdict
1t is an action to recover 1923 alleged
to have been lost by Mr.. James Patton,
travelling agent of the plaintiffs in the
Metropolitan Hotel in this city, of which
the defendants are proprietors. 1t ap.
pears that Mr.. Patton having arrived
one morning about two O'Clock, went to
the Metropolitan and asked for a room
at the same time he requested the clerk
then in attendance to place his pocket.
book, containing 1923, in the safe, ac-
cording to the rules of the hotel. The
clerk said he could not receive the
money, as the key of the safe was in
the possession of another official, who
was then in bed. Mr.. Patton was also
informed thatall the beds were engaged
but that he could have a cot in No. II.
He agreed to take that accommodation,
and was shown to the room, where
there were two or three other gentle
men at the time, and one, he thought
came in afterwards. Mr.. Patton alleges
that he put the pocketbook containing
the money under his pillow, went to
sleep, and when he awoke next morn
ing it was gone. The defendants re.
fused to recognize the loss, and the
plaintiffs bring this suit. The defen-
dants deny that the plaintiffs are an in.
corporated company, or that Patton
was their agent. They admit that q
person of that name came to their no.
tel, but deny all the allegations as to
the offer to deposit the money in theil
safe, or the loss by Patton while in
their house. Counsel for defendant
read the act of 1865, which relieves
hotel proprietors from responsibility
for losses, provided they keep an iron
safe for the reception of the money
and valuables of their guests, and have
notice to that effect publicly posted
in their house for the information o.
travellers. The jury rendered sealed
verdict for plaintiff for 1857.

Will not be Hospitable.

The Charleston Neaos Acknowledges
that SIS per day will be the price OF
board there during the Convention, and
in commenting upon the assertion made
by many of the northern papers that the
"latch strings will be out" and that
Charleston hospitality will alleviate, to
a great degree, the extortions of hotels,
says:
"What has her private hospitality
10 do with such a case, an Eruption
upon her of an immense horde of men,
intent on their own selfish ends and in
different alike to her people, their sem
timents and interests! And thousands
of them, too, of such character and
manners, that if they were to come
here, individually, again and again, it
would never be thought, by respecta-
BILE man of our city, to admit any of
them within his doors. During the
presence of that promiscuous crowd
the private doors of Charleston will
never have been so tightly shut and
carefully guarded as then. She will
confer more catching than hospitality
upon the camp followers who have
come to swarm at the assembling of a
National Convention"
The Ne,os evidently don't believe
that all Locofocos are gentleman. How
is it? Who knows?

We impress it upon every Republican

take this matter in charge and see that
every voter is on the register. Exam

The deughface Democracy are to

have been a more appropriate day for
such a gathering. Besides it will re-
ouire ali of seven months to get up

prove too short at both ends. But a

TO hold Convention at all. 1t will be

&C The Little Giant,

AS the Jay Ior the assembling OF the
united wisdom" contained in the
democratic party, at Charleston, to per-
form the solemn and imposing duty of
selecting candidate to be run down
next November, draws nigh, it is be-
coming more and more apparent to
every observing mind that Stephen A.
Douglas will be unable to obtain suf-
ficient number of votes in that body to
bring him before the country as the
nominee of the sgreat" democratic
party. Suppose, as is claimed by his
most ardent friends, that he will suc-
coed in getting bare majority, that
will do him no good, as the usages of
that party for years has required that
the votes of two-thirds of all the dele
gates in attendance shall be necessary
to make the nomination legal and bind
ing upon them. Now we know, and
so does every discerner Of the times,
that Mr.. Douglas cannot get enough of
the Southern delegates to go for him
as the democratic candidate for the
Presidency to secure his nomination.
His past acts are looked upon by the
South with distrust, and the mention
of his name carries with it contempt
amounting almost to downright hatred;
and many prominent men among the
party go so far as to declare that they
would as soon support Mr.. Seward as
Mr.. Douglas. He may, by the aid of
powerful friends, seek TO smooth over
and soften down things as much as he
pleases, he cannot, in our view, be sue
cessful in restoring that harmony and
good feeling towards him on the part
Of the South, which will be found nee
essary to give him majority eoen, to
say nothing about the taco-taird rule.
His friends will not, between this and
the assembling Of the convention in
April, leave the stone unturned TO Sc
cure his nomination, and all sorts of
concessions and promises will be made
to shake the South, and turn the dele
gates from that section from the unfa-
vorabe stand they have seen fit to take
against him; but with all this humility
on their part, as well as his, many of
the States will remain infexibly firm in
their opposition to his nomination and
to bring about ga union of hands and
a union Of hearts," the Northern wing
will have to "knock under" and suc-
cumb to the nomination Of some one
knocn to be sound on the question of
slavery extension into the Territories,
achether the people toiU it so or not. 1t
is a case of life or death with them,
and they will be unwilling to put up a
man who has one doubtful mark upon
him. Mr.. Douglas has certainly, 10y
speeches and votes, "troubled their
waters" not little, and they will not
soon forget him. He will be shelfed
Just so sure as the sun is to rise on the
morrow. In view of this, what will
the democracy of Michigan do? Will
they quietly see their chief thrust aside
on such fiimsy excuse? The leaders
of the party will, but will the rank and
file? We shall see.
