AT HoME.-Our Congressional Repre-
sentative, Mr.. Kilinger, has reached home,
Congress having adj ourned. Since his
last visit, be has been afflicted with the
disease, now prevalent in Washington,
resembling cholera morbus in its most vir-
ulent form. 1t affords US pleasure to an
nouuce, however, that he has almost en-
tirely recovered from the prostrating effects
of the disease, and will soon be able to
take the stump for Lincoln, Hamlin and
Curtin in his district.
The papers contain several notices OF
the deaths of young men BY drowning,
while going in the water to battle. 1t Is
dangerous, in hot weather, to 60 in cold
water, or beyond our depth-and in all
cases, the bather should have some one or
more with Kim.
The news Of the success of Garribaldi is
confirmed. The five great Powers Of Eu.
rope refuse to interfere between him and
the despotism be is overthrowing.
Geo. P. r. James, the novelist,is dead.
Bates letter in favor Of Lincoln is strong
and conclusive. 1t will be remembered
Judge Bates presided over the Convention
which nominated Fillmore.
Green fruit is always injurious to cat

sIThe Divided Democracy.

The frauds aud double.faced delusions,
by which, under the name Of democracy"
the leeches of the Treasury and extenders
of Slavery have ruled the U. S. for sixteen
years, have at last failed to hold the dis
cordant elements together. Nothing but
the empty name, and the "cohesive power
of public pluuder," now animates them.
The division, commenced at Charleston,
was consummatcd at Baltimore, on Satur-
day of las, week. Ten days at Charleston,
SIX weeks of rest, and six days at Ralti-
i.more, proved it vain to attempt to hum
bug the people any longer, and the plough
share Of division has rent it asunder
The Convention at Baltimore was dis.
g'aced by angry aud vi,uperative words
by numerous fist tfghts-and BY challenges
to duels, which made the persons engaged,
and the party itself, most obnoxious to
public sentiment, and the City was glad to
have them all leave.
A majority having decided to admit a
part Of the Douglas delegates sent from
the South in place of those who seeded at
Charleston, the fatal moment came and .

him in honor of his nomination for the
Presidency. In response to repeated calls,
Mr.. Breckenridge appeared and delivered
quite lengthy speech, justifyiDg the &C.
tion Of the seeding delegates, and accept
ing the nomination, &c. lie was frequent
ly greeted with applause during the de.iv-
cry Of his speech.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-Gov. Fitzpat-
rick has declined the nomination for the
Vice Presidency rendered him by the late
Convention. The National Com mittee have
substituted Hon. Herschel V. johnson, of
Ga, in the place Of Gov. Fitzpatrick.
douglas is unfortunate. His speech
to the serenaders on Saturday night was a
direct assault upon the candidate for the
Vice Presidency upon the same ticket with
him. He raved about Intervention, and
secession and disuBion, and less than ten
days ago, Fitzpatrick had roted for tie in-
teruention doctrine IN DdUiis's resolutions in
the Senate. This was more than the Ala
bama Senator could bear. The head and
the tail Of the ticket we're at antipodes,
and the tail dropped off; but the head can
not afford to drop off. Fitzpatrick had
been consulted. He had given bis assent
to the nomination. He had led his friends
to believe be was anxious for it. He was,
although an interventionist, recognized as
a warm friend of Senator Douglas, and
when asked, willingly consented to 60 up
on the ticket with him. His Withdrawal
is treacherous.]
Democratic individuals and papers are
taking sides for Douglas, Breckenridge, or
both, and it will take some time to see
which is the strongest wing in several of
the States.
Neither of these parties expect to sue
ceed, but hope they may help their COun-
ty and State Tickets, in some cases, and
perhaps cheat the People out Of the election
of President and Tice President by turning
it into the House and Senate.
The Republicans now have the fairest
chance to thwart all their Vaccinations,
and elect Lincoln by large majority.

"HoNEsT JOHN SCHWARTZ" died last
Wednesday evening, at Washington, after
suffering from jaundice during the session,
but heroically refusing to quit his post
while able to reach it. Born in Sunbury
in 1898, he removed to Reading in 1903,
volunteered for the defence of Baltimore
iu the War of 1872, and engaged in the
iron business. A Henry Clay Wing, he
was the first man who ever defeated "the
regular Democratic nominee" for Congress
in Berks county, and was most faithful
and popular Representative, as the crowd
attending his funeral iu Reading on Sat-
urday evinced. Thus will 8erks have a
special election, next fall, for Congress
man as well as State Senator.

PLATFORM.
AZ Garlest0n.

~it S"NftSoto"s
A "Platform Committee" consisting Of
one member from each State, was appoint
ed. This Committee, after refusing to re.
port the "Cincinnati Platform" without
alteration, presented the following, by q
majority of II to l6:
Resolved, That the platform adopted
at Cincinnati be affirmed, with the follow
ing resolutions:
That the Democracy Of the United
States hold these cardinal principles on
the subject of Slavery in the Territories :
First, that Congress has no pouer to atol-
iM &arery in the Territories second, that
the TerritoriM Legislature has no po'eer
to aJoiish slacecy in any Territory, nor to
prohibit the introduction of slaves therein,
nor any power to exclude slavery there
from, nor any power to destroy or impair
the right of property in slaves by any leg
islation whatever.
Resolved, That the enactments of State
Legislatures to defeat the faithful execu-
tion of the Fugitive Slave Law are hostile
in character, subversive of the Constitu-
ton, and revolutionary in their effect.
Resolved, That it is the duty of the
Federal Government to protect, when me-
cessary, the rights of person and property
on the high seas, in the Territories, or
wherever else its constitutional authority
extends.
Resolved, That the Democracy Of the
nation recognize it as the imperative duty
of this Government to protect the natural
lied citizen in all bis rights, whether at
home or in foreign lands, to the same ex-
tent as its native-born citizens.
Resolved, That the National Democracy
earnestly recommend the acquisition Of
the Island of Cuba at the earliest practica.
bic period.
Whereas, That one of the grestest me-
cessities of the age, in political, CONNER
cial, postal and military point of view, is
a speedy communication between the Pa
cifc and Atlantic coasts therefore be it
Resolved, That the National Democra-
tic party do hereby pledge themselves to
use every means in their power to secure
the passage of some bill for the cons!ruc.
ton of Pacific Railroad, from the Mis-
sissippi River to the Pacific Ocean, at the
earliest practicable moment.
This platform, presented by Mr.. Avery,
of North Carolina, was voted for in the
Committee by the delegates from the Is
Slavebolding States, and by those from
Oregon and California.
