sFIFTY-SlX VERSUS SIXTY.
The "Dufch Plank" VS.. The American
Platform.

Below We present brace of planks from
Opposition platforms. The first Que is made
OF regular native-grown American pine. The
other is OF wood imported from, Europe, veneer
ed with good coating of Black Republican
mahogany, and Inserted IN the Chicago plat
torn under the pressure of foreign influence.
The first was the main stay of the platform on
which Miilafd Fillmore stood 10 1856 the
boast and the PRIDE of the Fillmore men oi
Bedford county The other, as will be seen, Is
the exact reverse the first 1t is the very
plank disdained, despised and spat. upon by the
American party. II is what that party con-
sidered the very poison, the very deadliest
curse Of our political system. 1t is what the
Democracy were charged with upholdng by
The very men who adopt it. 1t is what formed
the subject OF the bltterest and vlest denuncia-
tions OF the Opposition but short time ago.
1t is. in short, the ssDntch Plank" of the ChIca-
go Platform, on which Abraham Lincoln stands,
asking for the support of the men who have
taken an oath that the doctrine contained in
that plank is wrong. How dare the men who
decla:ed 10 1885 and 1856, that the Know
Nothing oath was binding and irrevocable,
attempt to ask the people to support Lincoln
en- this platform! How dare they attempt to
barter away the honor Of their converts, and
10 induce them to commit what they them
selves avowed was perjury Of the basest sort I?
Let them remember that Ananias and Sapphira
were struck dead for lying, and that the thun-
derbolts of justice still descend from an angry
Heaven.

Pdraolng oit OF testimony said to have hssn
gwen before theSCoyode Committee by Corns-
nus W endrli as tend'ng to prove Corruption ur.
on ar. Foster, the Democratic candidate g.
governor. II Is said that among the en,r;a,
OF Mr.. Tendell's hank book tor 1853 cb.,.1
was discovered OF $3.50 to "Foster OF Perpsni
vans" and that when Mr.. Wendell was a..
cd, he admitted that he knpw no other Fos,s-
than the Democratic candidate for Govarro,
THIS is the slender basis upon which the cbar,.
OF corruption is founded. Il can be readily a..
swered.- AZ
In the FIRST place, the entry of such iten, q,
VIZ. WendelPs book is no evidence that Mr.
Foster ever received the money. Mr. WendeII
has made so many wild and inconsistent stat.-
ments, that thus equivocal testimony should b.
accepted with great caution.
ln the second place, admitting that Mr.. Po..
ter received the money, there is no evidence ~
show that il was applied 10 corrupt usps. The
sterling character OF the man and the snalInoe.
OF the sum, are primn facie evidence that n was
not. The idea that Mr.. Foster intended 70 cor
rupt the voters of his district and procure his
election 10 Congress with $3.50 is simply shsu,d
Ii the money was placed in his hands il was On
Piled TO the ordinary and legitimate expenses
OF the campaign.-We have no doubt that NJ,
Covode spent double this sum out of bis own
purse, which is great deal longer than Genpr-
al Fosters in order TO secure his election "a
Congress in 1853, ant has disbursed for poIni-
cal purposes, much more than $c50-receiged
from others. The character of General Foster
as an honest man, challenges the scrutiny of
bis enemies, and may at any time be placed in
favorable comparison with that OF John Co.
vode or Andrew G. Curtin.
Ii General Fosters enemies Intent 10 attack
his character they must furnish other evidence
than that derived from nsinuatlons and interep-
ces.--PatTiot q Union.

This paper, which yaunts itself very
much upon being the {" only Republican
paper in the Pocket" published very i'll
natnred article on the 14th, making some
snarling observations upon our article of the
10th, headed Presidential Calculations"
The Gazette denies that the Chicago Con-
vention is an q Opposition y Convention, and
! asserts that it is a Republican Convention.
We have read the Call for that Convention,
80 have our readers; we understand plain
English as we'll as the Gdzete writer-and
we repeat emphatically that the Call for a
Convention is not upon Republicans exclu-
| sively. If it is to be a Republican Conven-
tion exclusively, why then the Call was a
deliberate fraud upon the Conservative OPP
position, and the men who issued it are
guilty of as great a crime as obtaining goods
under false pretences. But no such author
ity as the Gazette writer can induce US to
think that the gentlemen who issued the Call
are guilty of such rascality. No; they are
high-minded gentlemen, and would scorn
to act the hypocrite. The narrow minded
bgotry of the gazette has placed false con-
struction upon the language.
The Gazette expresses the opinion that
6 the Republicans can elect their candidate
and throw Indiana to the Democracy. =
That may be the height of the Gazetfe's
political wisdom. Judging from the DRIFT
Of its article, probably it is. We are sure,
however, that any chairman of township
executive committee who would talk that
way, would be removed from his position in
double quick time.
The Gdzetfe admits that discreetness, or
conservatism is well enough in State af-
fairs, but when Conservative men counsel
moderation in a National contest, "lheir aG-
dacity rises to the height Of fuIl-hedgcd and
arrogant impudence.' Not to notice any fur
ther this reurehensible tone toward men
who are every way as honest, sincere, and
patriotic as this Pharis;tical writer, we sim
ply remark, that if moderation lie desirable
and proper in State contest, it is incalcu-
lably more so in National point of view.

ANOTHER WEALTHY PLANTER.-A short
time ago, says the New Orleans Delta, we
remarked upon the large purchases of sugar
estates, amounting to nearly two millions of
dollars, made by our fellow citizen, Nr.
Burnside, and paid for out of the profits of Il
mercantile career in this city of twenty
three years. An even more successful in
stance of the rapid accumulations- of well
directed enterprise, is embodied i'll the item
published in the Delta, a few days ago, of
the sale Of the magnificent cotton estate of
D. D. Withers, Esq.
This property, lying on the Mississippi riv-
er, in Adams county, Mississippi, with the
improvements and 515 slaves, was sold to j.
X. Elgee, Esq, for the handsome sum of one
million Twelve hundred dollars. These gem
tlemen are both residents of New Orleans,
both the architects Of their own fortunes,
and both gentlemen of rare intelligence and
energy. Mr.. Withers is quite young man
not yet forty-and has accumulated this
large property by judicious enterprise and
sagacity. in the period of twelve or fifteen
years.
