Already are the Representatives of the various
States on their way and gathering at the place
of meeting Charleston there to determine who
shall be our standard bearer in the approaching
campaign, and whether in that contest the party
will stand upon the broad and national platform
constructed in 1s56.-[Herald.
II is hardly to be expected of the Charleston
Convention that anything like an honest and
straightforward declaration Of principles win be
adopted by that body, but to suppose that the
creed of the party as set forth at Cincinnati In
1885, will be re-aflirmed in all its parts, without
amendment or addition, is SO repugnant to every
principle of common honesty that we cannot be-
lievc it. The Herald knows very well that the
Cincinnati Platform has one meaning at the
South, and another and different meaning at
the North. That paper Is aware that during the
canvass OF sc it WAS construed at the North Sin
accordance with the opinions of the Hon. Stephen
A. Douglas" whilst at the South it was con-
strued to mean that the people of the Territories
had no power to interfere with the question of
Slavery until they had formed their Constitution
to their entering into the Union as
States.
Why, the great issue between the Northern
ard Southern Democracy at this moment, il, as
to the construction of the Cincinnati Platform
in refereRce TO slavery in the Territories. The
Platform Of the Iowa Democracy, adopted few
days ag, at Des Moines, admits it, and even asks
that definite meaning be given to the Demo-
cratic creed put forth in 1856. But the Herald
it seems, is not only willing, but counsels its
party to adhere to what, according to the confess
sions Of its own friends, is a cheat and fraud
upon the country. As poor an opinion as we
have of the Democracy of the present day, We
are persuaded that the Representatives of the
party at Charleston will not feel inclined to ac-
the wishes Of the time servers and
camp followers in its ranks Nous sarons.-

A RUFFiANLY AcT.-On Tuesday of last week,
Mr.. Warren burbank. residing at Madison, Wis,
took team and went to his fathers house at
Primrose for the purpose of bringing back some
provisions, hay, etc, taking with him also two
boys. They reached Primrose and staid there all
night. During the night Mr.. Burbank's wagon
was taken to pieces and part of it carried off and
the horses badly mutiated. Mr.. B. then obtain
ed another wagon, loaded it with hay and proyi-
sions, and started to return to Madison. As they
arrived at Mt. Vernon, two persons with their
faces masked, and otherwise disguised, stepped
out of the woods into the road; one of them
seized the horses by the bits, the other went be-
hind and around the load, setting the hay on fire.
The horses were held until ;he flames of the
burning hay rushed Up and around the boys. It
with difficulty that the little lads could be in
duced to leave the load, being more afraid Of the
assailants than tho fire blazing around them.
The elder boy undertook to get the horses loosed
from the load but was Immediately knocked
down with club, and the horses kicked and
beaten to make them run away with the burning
load-the persons in disguise then leaving sud
denly themselves. The horses were oyertaken
on the top Of high hill, close to Mt. Vernon
The boy succeeded in cutting the horses loose
from the burning load, but not until they were
literally burned and rendered almost valueless.
