be received with satisfaction if not with grati-
ion, and proceeded either to vote BY States
against this plank, or else sulkily refrain from
voting at all, the Northern Delegates said to
each other-"What use in burdening ourselves
with concessions which are rejected and spurn.
cd by those to whom we make themf" And
so Free State after State began to emulate their
Southern brethren By voting No, and soon those
which had already recorded themselves In the
affirmative changed to the negative; until at last
but few fragments Of delegations, amounting
to next to nothing in the aggregate. were left
recorded in the affirmative. Thus the Platform
termed minority, but which was adopted by
majority of the Convention, as ultimately adopt-
ed, stands without any allusion to the Supreme
Court or its decisions; but is simply the old
Cincinnati affair, with little extra filIibnster-
ing uegro-catcning thrown in by way of sauce.
The subsequent proceedings of the Conyen-
tion-the concerted bolt of eight or nine South
ern delegations because of the refusal of the
majority to adopt the Slave-Code Platform; the
ffty-seyen Intellectual ballots for candidate for
President, wherein Mr.. Douglas received on
every ballot a majority of all the votes cast,
and on several majority of the entire Elsc-
toral vote of the Union, yet was determinedlv
denied the two thirds declared requisite to q
nomination all these are freshly in the public
mind. TIE majority held fast to Mr.. Douglas;
the minority would not allow him to be nomi-
mated, and could not concentrate their votes ON
any one else; thus nothing remained but an ad-
Jornment, which was carried yesterday morning
by vote of l66 Ayes to 88 Nays nearly two
thirds. 30 the Convention stands adjourned
over, to reassemble at Baltimore ON the 18th
of June--a month after the nomination will
have been made at Chicago. Probably the
character OF that nomination will greatly infu-
enoe the action and results of the adjourned
gathering at Baltimore. But let fhe future
speak for itself.

The Occulation of the planet Venus, which
attracted so much attention on Tuesday even
ing the Oath ult., will be followed shortly by
the ocoultation of the planets Jupiter and
Mars.
About midnight of Thursday, April 26.h,
Jupiter was eclipsed In the northern part OF
New Hampshire and Maine, and some of the
British provinces but in the Southern part of
New England, the least distance of the edges
of the planet and our satellite will be about
one~twentieth the diameter of the latter. The
third of these occultations will be that of Mars,
in the morning before sunrise of Thursday,
May 10th. 1t will be visible in a large part
of the United States and the British provinces,
As the moon will then be about five days rass
the full the emersion will take place ON tho
dark side.. The color of Mars will be fiery
red. as it viii be quite hear the earth; indeed,
at Mars opposition to the Sun, on July l7th
next, it will be nearer to us than for several
years, with high southernS declination, thus
giving the astronomers at the Cape of Good
Hope an excellent and rare opportunity of de-
termining its parallax with greater precision.
The fourth of this extraordinary series Of o.
culations is that of Jupiter in the forenoon of
Thursday, May Oath, which also will be visible
in large part of this country, but which TAX
ing place whilst the Sun is above the horizon,
cannot be seen except with the aid Of very
good telescope.

tensioa Of the area of slavery upon this conti-
nents nor to any increase of slave representa-
tion ~ the other House of Congress-. / have
now stated mg reasons for my conduct and my
vote. We Of the North have already gone, in
this respect, far beyond all that any Southern
man could have expected, or did expect, at the
time Of the adoption of the Constitution, /
repeat the statement of the fact of the crea-
ton OF i've new slaveholding States out OF

which, If those who framed the Constitution
had fcrseen, they never would have agreed to
slave representation We have yielded thus
far; and we have now in the House OF Repre-
senfatlyes twenty persons voting upon this very
question, and upon all other questions, who
are only in virtue OF the representation of
slaves.

on these propositions First, that when this
Consultation was adopted, nobody looked for
any new acquisition of territory to be formed
into slayeholding States; Secondly, that tho
principles of the Constitution prohibited, and
were Intended to prohibit, all interference of
the General Government with slavery AZ it cx-
isted and as it still exists in the States.

new acquisitions, which have in this great de-

TF WE KNEW.
BY RUTH BENTON.

If we knew the cares and crosses
Crowding round our neighbor's way,
If we knew the little losses.
Sorely grievous, day by day;
Would we then SO often chide him
For his lack Of thrift and gain
Leaving on his heart a shadow,
Leaving on our lives stain
IF we knew the clouds above US,
Held by gentle blessings there.
Would we turn away all trembling,
In our blind and weak despair2
Would we shrink from little shadows,
Lying on the dewy grass,
Whilst 'tis only birds of Eden,
Just in mercy flying past
If we knew the silent story,
Qulvcring thro' the heart of pain,
Would our wonlanhood dare doom them
Back to hannts of guilt again
Life has many a tangled crossing;
Joy hath many break of voc;
And the cheeks, tear washed, are whitest;
This the blessed angels know.
Let us reach into our bosoms
For the key to other lives,
And with love towards erring nature,
Cherish good that still survives;
So that when our disrobed spirits
Seal to realms of light again,
We may say, dear Father judge us
As we judged our fellow-men.

THE RESIGNATION OF GEN. cAss.


This venerable msn has resigned his position
in Mr.. Buchanan's Cabinet. Let our past
differences with him in political opinions have
been what they may, we have ever been viii
ling to conccde TO him tue possession of great
natural ability, and vast stores of information
He has resigned in consequence of the refusal
Of President Buchanan to reinforce the gal
liant Comnandant Of Fort Meultrie, and has
shown more pluck than we had given him cred-
it for. The veteran statesman remembers we'll
the instructions be gave Gen. Scott 10 1882,
when the latter was assigned the command of
the forts off the harbor of Charleston. BY
the terms of those instructions, the hero of
Chippewa was empowered TO draw unlImitedly
upon the national army. Gen. Cass, by bis
resignation, has been trae to his past record,
and therefore true to himself.
We presume this will be bis last appearance
in public life. His age is too great and bis
health too feeble to permit him longer to par
iicipate in the active trying scenes Of public
life. Ii may not, therefore, be inappropriate to
recall briefly the striking salient points Of his
career. Born in New Hampshire, he emigra-
ted, about 1905 20 the State Of Ohio; aud set
tied at Chilicothe. FL political career began
A
ly he became United States Marshal We be-
lieve this was the Only position he ever held
until Monroe appointed bin first ludian Cou-
missioner to settle treaties with some of the
Northwest Indian tribes, aud subsequently,
Governor OF the Territory Of Michigan. This
Z IEatser po.t he hello for many years. During
General Jackson's administration he served as
hSeerctary of War. Subsequently be went
abroad as Minister to Paris.
Soon after his return from this latter t9st
he became strong candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for the Presidency. BY the
combination Of his friends with these OF ether
aspiganfs, the celebrated two thirds rule was
adopted, and Van Buten's third nomination
was prevented, James K. Polk being declared
the Winning nag. A0out this time Gen. CsSs
went into the Senste, where he remained, ta-
king conspicuous part 10 its deliberations un-
til he resigned in 1913, after receiving the
Democratic nomination for the Presidency.
Mr. Van Buren DOW repaid the debt of ls4t
with terrible Understanding as IA separate
candidate, and giving the electoral vote Of
New York to Taylor. Gen. Cass returned TO
the Senate and served another term. After
Mr.. BuehanaG's nomination, he was rendered
the pos' of Premier, accepted l., and has serv-
ed out nearly the term of his appointment
Nothing bat some overpowering necessity or
strong sense of self-respect, could have indu~
ced him with SO short period to run, to re-
sign his place.
His present action, and the motive impelliBg
it, deserve TIE warmest commentator - Daily

acfly coiDcidental with the number Of place.
bolders. We cannot expect that any argu-
ment will reconcile these martyrs TO their
doom. Then there are the slave owners them
selves whose acute sensibilities on the subject
Of their peculiar domestic institution whose
hatred of the North, and whose fears of the
masses Of barbarism by which they have sur
rounded themselves, have led them very much
to over estimate the real Importance of the
change. There eau be no slave so stupid and
ignorant as not to know that the blow which
bis master has been talking of and fearing so
long has fallen al last aud who will not derive
from II a far greater degree of confidence than
it ought really 10 inspire. The reign of terror
DOW prevailing 10 Texas is sufficient proof Of
the existence Of this spirit of exsggeration,
and il may, perhaps, operate to call forth from
the slaves some Manifestation of feeling, which
can have no other result than to riget fettefs
already too severe.
We may surmise that the disgraceful traffic
10 slaves, sure, sooner or later, to follow the
institution of slavery ITSELF will be kept u0der
with vigorous hand. We may expect to find
the Supreme Court of the United States re-
stored, if not to impartiality, to something
alOre like balance of opinion by the appoint
lneGt of eminent Republican lawyers, and we
may expect to find in the administration of
the Territories spirit which will render the

We have no fear. OF course, it viii take some

to consider how imaginary is the injury which
| they have sustained, how vast are the interests
involved, bow heavy would be the cost, how
considerable the danger of disunioD, aud how
impossible it would be for the Southern States
to maintain 10 the face OF the world the strong
position they now bold as members of great
American Confederacy We suspect that the
South will think better of il, aud turn its ac-
tiVity into the more practical channel of pro-

From the London Saturday ReUassO.
A SLAFEHOLDING REPUBLIC.

Nothing can be more rational than the skep-
ticism which leads men of experience to doubt
shs occurrence of any very great event which
is very confidently predicted aud, if the event
be an American event, incredulity is increased
by the knowledge that the American people
have principles of barking which are entirely
distinct from their principles OF biting. Still
there are some Symphonic which make it worth
while to attend to the contingency of separs-
tim between the Northern aud Southern States
of the Union. If there is one sign which
clearly shows that an American is genuinely
uneasy, il is the abatement OF his commercial
confidence, and we new learn that as soon as
it became more than probable that Mr.. Lincoln
would be elected to the Presidency, American
securities declined seriously 10 all parts of the
United States IL does not seem to be thought
for one moment that auy act of armed rebel
lien is meditated BY the Shareholders, and they
appear to be too divided in opinion for there to
be much chance of their concerning a plan of
simultaneous resistance. Bot one or two
Southern States, peopled by bigots OF more
than ordinarily furious temper, have announced
that they mean to take course which is GER
tainly alarming. They propose TO instruct the
Senators who represent them 10 the Upper
House Of Congress to resign their seats, aud
then they intend to abstain from filing the va
caneies. The Senate, 10 which all States are
equally represented, is the kuot of the Feder-
al Union but there do not seem to be any
weaus of compelling an unwilling State to
contribute delegates to it, nor is there any
known Constitutional fiction by which the empty
places can be taken to be filed. The with
dRawal of part Of the Senators would amount
to de tacto separation much more difficult to
deal with, and perhaps more dangerous, than
overt treason against the commonwealth.
AS soon as 1t becomes worth while to discuss
the establishment of seperate federation of
the SIavsowning States, the considerations
which suggest themselves are such as to make
as wonder at the folly Of the undertaking.
The least drawback on il is rs expenslveness.
At present, the cost of the General Govern
meat is most unequally distributed between
the North and South and, though in the
Southern section these expenses are much larger
than in the Northern, from the greater inac-
cessibility Of the country, the amount contri.
bnted by the Slave States TO the revenue which
pays them is out of all proportion smaller than
the amount raised from the States of Free
Soil. This. however, is a trifing reason for
valuing the Union, compared with others. Is
it possible tnat the planters do not perceive
that their connection with the Northern States
has the effect, as it we're, Of insuring their Pc
