Grand Ratification in New York.

The Moss Meeting Of the Republicans
of New York City,at the Cooper institute,
the evening Of the 7th, to respond to the
nomination OF Lincoln and lIamlin, the
Trijune says was commanding in force
and unbounded in enthusiasm, The
Three Thousand packed at once into the
great Hall were but fraction Of this i'm
mense outpouring Of the people. Ward
professions with torches and banners were
continually arriving till after 8 o'clock;

was peculiarly graceful and elective
However it may have been with one or
two Of the speakers, the vast auditory,
whether within or without the building.
w6s not at all lugubrious in spirits, but
buoyant, exu'tnnt, confident Of victory,
and assured that the right men had been
nominated to secure it, There have beer
few larger meetings held in this city by
any party; there was never one whicl
evinced more enthusiasm, or was more
fitted to inspire it. Our City will give
more votes this Fall for Lincoln than sh'
ever yet gave for any candidate opposed
TO the Sham Democracy. Every day
brings its accessions to our ranks; and

In ;hat else, the Republican majority i

THE GREAT FRosT OF ls59.-One year
ago yesterday, the agricultural prospects
OF this region for many miles around were
blasted by the severest frost ever known
in this country. On the night previous
the husbandmen went to bed reioiced by
the glowing prospect of the abunden, har-
vest OF which every cultivated field gave
promise in long waves of nodding wheat
and rocking corn; but while he siumbered
in the calm stiffness OF morning, the invis.
ible enemy-"a killing frost"- came and
the glory Of that harvest disappeared for
ever. Blu, not discouraged by that fail.
ure, when the seed time came again, the
germ of still greater harvest was planted
and now gives as good promise as did the
other before the catastrophe of the 9th ol
June. Thus far there has been no frost
to nip the budding hopes Of our farmers,
and the conviction is common that all
danger from that source 10 past. A tie
mendous harvest may therefore be ex,
pected from the great West, to which
Ohio, and especially the Scio,o Valley
will contribute more than their usua
share Columbus Statesman, June 6.

The Admission of Kansas Postponed

The Senate, on the 9th inst, decided,
by vote of 33 yeas against 27 nays, to
postpone the House bill! for the admission
Of Kansas. All the Democratic members
present voted yea, except Messrs. Pugh
and Latham and the Republican mem
bers, who were all in their seats, without
an exception voted nay. Mr.. Douglas
had paired of with Mr.. Clny,o Alabama.
On the 7!h, Mr.. Wade, OF this State,
having been assured by Democratic Sena.
tors that they would permit a vote moved
to take up the bill, but this motion was
lost by majority, every Republican
voting for it, and every Democrat but two
against it.
This action of the Senate is equivalent
to the exclusion Of Kansas from the Union
until after the Presidential election. The
interest ieltin the postponemeGt OF her ad
mission by the party in power, is readily
explained by the fact that, should she be
admitted, and the election Of President de
volve upon The House of Representatives
her vote would be sure for The Republican
nominee, In 1856, the Democracy hac
much to say about Republican sympalh,
for BLEEDING Kansas" Now. by thei
own act, and in opposition TO the will o
The Republicans, they have determined
that Kansas shall continue to bleed 70
months to come. Who can fail to under
stand the motive for her exclusion now
when she is clearly entitled to be ad
miued? Surely. no rational man yet
is quite certain that Kansas will be OF a
little service to the Democracy out Of th
Union as in it. .r

Mr.. Wade's Speeches. Platforms.

Our Representative has not been greatly
given to spoech-making since he has held
a seat in Congress- being rather disposed to
attend to the srduous duties of his position,
than to be known for his much speaking.
Yet he has spoken on several occasions, and
with no doubtful or undecisive voice. His
speech on the Nebraska Bill was pronounced
a remarkably able one by so good a judge
MS Gerrt Smith, of Now York. who, at the
time of its delivery, was also q member of
Congress. Besides tho speech wo publish
this week, and for which we ask au attentive
porusal, no has recently mado another, in
which he exposes in masterly manner the
claim that Slavery is sanctioned by the
Bible. Though it is somewhat lengthy, we
shall endeavor to publish it.
There is ono portion of tho speech pub
lished in this papor, in which wo cannot
think that MIR. Wade wished to be under
stood as meaning what tho language implies,
MS il is n virtual admission that Republicans,
as well as Democrats, arc engaged in an
unworthy scramble for Office. He says
"Who cares for q platform? ? Did ever q
party stick to it's platform Who is fool
enough to caro- for platform ?: 1t is all q
scramble for Office, SO far as tho politics o.
tho country are concerned We presume
our friond Wade will not consider US fool
whom we admit that we do care for Plat
forms. We grant that, to a party, like thu
Democratic, having no principles or polio
which may not change with every now dc
mand of the Slave Power, and which ha
shamelossy forsakcn all tho great doctrine
of its founders, it is comparatively unmpol
tant what its platform shall be. That part
is past redemption, and there is no hope fo
the country save in it's overthrow. But pla
forms are, after all, very good criterion q
tho principles of parties, aud we arc nc
certain that tho present platform of tho dc
generate Democratic party is an exception
tho party and the platform are both ba
enough, in all conscience. Every successi,
stago of dopravity. which the Democrat
party has yot to reach, will doubtless
indicated in its platform.
To party which. like the Republica
has woll.defnod and permanent principle
apIatform ombodyng those principles,
ours docs it seems to US, is of great impo
tancc. AS differences of opinion and sen
mcnt, in regard to details, must exist ev,
among Republicans, thoro should be sor
authoritative expression of the loading pri
cipes upon which the majority of the par
nre agreed and baso their action. The
principles are few and simple, yet cxceo
iugly comprehensive and benefcont; a

The REPUBLICAN, Press IN MIssoURI.-
The rapid progress Of Republicanism in
Missouri is shown in the fact, that at the
present moment there are eight papers in
the Stale with the Lincoln and IIamlE
banner flying at :he mast head, and the
ST. Louis Democrat, the able and spirited
leader of them all, says. "we shall be dis
appointed if as the day Of election ap-
proaches, others are not added 10 the list.
The eight papers in question are respon-
sible, well. conducted and permanent con.
Germs. The effect Of the political revo-
luton in four years may be inferred from
the statement that during the campaign Of
1856, not single paper supported Fre-
mont, however much his success may
have been desired. p Cleveland Leader.

Flop IN e II t EXtraOrdinary-A
Father Outwitted by his Son

The Wheeling Intclli9eacer is responsible
for the following.
We noticed,a few mornings ago, the elope-
ment of young couple from GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, who came here to the Metcalf House,
and went West Alexander in hurry, and
got married. 1t seems that the father of the
young man, who lives near Evansville, had
been counting his present daughtes- in-law for
some time, and recently engaged himself to
her. Having great confidence in the judg-
ment of his son, he concluded to send him
down of his son, he concluded to send him
down in the country where the young lady
resided, to take a look at her before the
solemnization of the marriage contract. The
son went down, and returning, announced
himself as highly pleased with the young
woman, but coppseed a short delay. He
wanted time to fearn more of his "mother-in-
law" and continued to visit her, apparently
for that purpose. The old mans surprise,
when he found that his son had eloped with
the girl, and victimized his (the son's) con-
fiding parent, may be imagined.

The DUMB SPEAK-A MODERN MIRACLE. ~
A man who pretended to be deaf and dumb
was arrested in Boston on Thursday. He
was arrested on information furnished by a
gentleman, of whom, the man, by means Of
false papers and representations, obtained a
donation in money. Upon being taken to
the station house his tongue became sudden
ly loosened, and he demanded why he was
arrested, and appeared to feel quite indig-
nant at the treatment he received. On the
person of this confidence man were found
letters and recommendations from leading
cergymen Of Troy, Buffalo, Rochester, Bos-
ton and elsewhere. In all these letters he
was alluded to as poor unfortunate deal
and dumb man, who was worthy OF their aid
and sympathy.
