The Republican Platform.

The excellent address adopted by the repub'
licsn state convention, Wednesday, presents,
in a clear and succint style, the doctrines now
generally held by the republican party of the
country. Gov. Boutwell, stated its purpose
admirably, in few words, and without argu-
ment, at the opening of the convention 1.-The
country shall rise higher and higher in fame
and power as it shall respect the principles of
liberty, and teach the equality of all men be-
fore the law" Mr.. Sumner stated the same
principle keep the prohibition of slavery in
the territories as the fixed and irreversible pur
pose of your hearts, and insist that it shall be
established by congress for without congress
it may not be established" Other benefits are
among the certa:nties which will result from
the triumph of the republican party-home-
steads for settlers, improvements OF rivers
and harbors, honesty in the administration of
the government, the suppression of piracy on
the high seas, and of plumber and common
theft on the possessions of neighboring govern.
ments. But its leading and paramount pur-
pose is the prohibition of slavery in the terrific
rles. The republicans of Massachusetts ac-
cept the doctrines of the fathers of the repub'
lie, explicitly stated in the Declaration of In
dependence, repeated in the ordinance of 1887,
and sustained by the memorable and immove'
able logic of its history Grounded in the
faith that art, and industry, and civilization,
and all the virtues are blessed and tostered by
the air Of liberty, they assume that it is the
duty of men in a representative position to go
to the verge OF their constitutional power to
promote and encourage liberty. The great
mistake of our opponents, the great fallacy of
our hating and timd friends, consists in the
assumption that the open expression of anti
slavery sentiment is radicalism, and that who
ever goes to the Declaration of Independ-
ence for his doctrines goes too far. Other
partisans have achieved the reputation of
conservatism by establishing false interpre-
tations of the constitution, all the benefits of
which are to nure to the slave power. But
the reputation does not belong to them. They
are poachers on forbidden ground The re-
publican who adopts the sentiments and the
temper of this statement of political policy
cannot be other than conservative in the tru-
est and best meaning of that word. The ext
gencies of the country are ripe for the grand
change which is to inaugurate an admirable
and conservative polcy-conservative of con
stitutional principles, conservative of the equal
rights of all men before the Law.

CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME CoURT.-
Hon. Geo. T. Bigelow, one of the present
judges of the supreme court, has been formal
ly proposed by Gov. Banks to succeed Judge
Shaw as chief justice. This nomination was
sent to the council, yesterday. Under the
rule of the council, seven days must elapse
before it is confirmed. Judge Bgelow is just
in the prime of life, and he has the health and
vigor, as well as the intellect and legal accom-
plishments, required by this office. He is
prompt, systematic, and laborous, and will
apply himself to the duties of the office as
faithfully as any man who ever undertook to
discharge them. He has in a high degree that
administrative ability which is demanded of
the chief justice, and if the appointment shall
be confirmed, his career at the head OF the
supreme bench will undoubtedly be honorable
to himself and the commonwealth. Judge
Bigelow is few weeks short of fifty years
old. He was appointed to his present position
in 1850, ten years ago, by Gov. Briggs.

wagon, last evening at O'Clock, breaking one
of its arms. A wheel struck its head but for

instant death which must have occurred had it
passed over it, as there were six persons at the

ANOTHER PANIC ABOUT PLEURo-PNEUMo-
NIA.-Mr Justin Eames of Milford, last May
drove up some forty head of young cattle to
pasture. He left some twenty head in the
north part of Rutland, and about the same
number in the west part of Princeton. One
animal was found dead in each herd within a
few days, and the people were alarmed. Last
Saturday, Amasa Walker ard Col. Knox, ac-
companed by DIR. Martin of the medical board
examined the herd in Rutland. The doctor
could find nothing in the animals left in Rut-
land save bad colds. Yesterday they visited
the herd in Princeton, and although the doc
tor of the board informed the popuace that he
did not believe the animals had any disease
excepting slight cold, still the inhabitants
were alarmed and could be satisfied only with
slaughtering one cheap animal, that was thin
of flesh and had coughed some. On opening
the chest everything was found sound and
healthy. The animal was priced at ten dol
lars.
We hope the activity of the disease is main.
ly spent. But it may break out on stabling
cattle again this fall, and it is very desirable
that all persons should keep their herds isolat.
ed and distinct till the board shall announce it
safe for them to run at large. If any animal
should die, or one should be so near dead that
they intend to kill it, and there is suspicion Of
contagious disease, they ought to report it to
one of the medical board. so the lungs can be
carefully examined after death. We under
stand the examination will be made without
expense to the owners of the cattle, or to the
towns in which they may be kept
An OK, nearly dead, was killed last Tuesday
in Milford, belonging to John A. Clark and
was examined by the member of the medical
board from this city. The liver was enor-
mously enlarged, and large abcess was stu
ated between the liver and diaphragm, the alb.
domen contained some six pals of water, and
there were a few small tubercleS in the lungs,
but not enough to affect the animals health.
