BOGUS LErTERs.-A correspondent of the Memphis
Appeal. writing from Weakley county, is throwing
sand in the eyes of that paper.
1t is not true that the Democracy of Henry, Weak
ley, Benton AID 0bion fOrDOuglas The writer of
that letter shows his ignorance of the position of the
Democracy in these counties, and either wfully or
gnorantly misrepresents these facts. The truth is.
Douglas has not a corporal's guard of followers in
either of the counties We have no Squatter Sover-
egn Democrats in this county; they stand where they
have always stood, in favor of equal rights in
the Territories and opposed to all such odious doc
trines.
We fatty contradict the statement contained in
that letter.
The Democracy stand by and sustain the decision
0: the Supreme Court the bred Scott case
and firmly repudiate the heresies of Douglas and
his followers The appeal need not look for aid and
comfort from the Democracy of this section.
There was a time when the Democracy regarded
the appeal sound to the core dealing heavy blows
on Douglas and Squatter Sovereignty. The Democ-
racy believed the appeal right then and respectfully
decline changing their coats just keep in the latest
fashion-PdriS Sentinel

! BoSTON, July >, 1860.
| DEAR SIR: Your letter Of the 10Th June addressed
to Mr.. Everett, has been, agreeably to the under
! standing in which he accepted the nomina ton
| placed in my hands to be answered No copy has
been received OF the resolutions TO which you refer
as having been laid down 4 Platform by the Con-
vention to the Union party which met at Selma on
! the 18th June.
! The National Union Convention at Baltimore
unanimously adopted amidst much enthusiasm and
applause, the following resolution, under the title of
" Platform: :"
" WHEREAS, experience has demonstrated that plat
forms adopted by the partZan conventions of the
country have had the effect TO misead and deceive
Ike people and at the time to widen the politi
cal divisions OF the country by the creation and en-
couragement OF geographical and sectional parties;
therefore,
Resolved Thatit is the part of both patrotism and
duty TO recognize no political principles other than
The Constitution of the Country
The Union of the States and the
Enforcement of the Laws
The wisdom of the National Union Convention in
adopting this resolution is confirmed bv what has
since happened in the Democratic party which
after holding four conventions and undergoing two
secessOns has gene pieces in the vain attempt IN
construct platform.
a We do not suppose that the National Union CoareEfion
intended 10 interfere tUih tie discretion of the local cone
tiOas of The States IN adopting Platforms lchiR their
o,on limits But as the National onion nominations
mere made at Baltimore and hare been accepted under
he Gboce cited preamble and resolution the candidates
are pyecded from endorsing any other PLATFORM hoto-
srer respectable tie source from lohch Il endndteS.
Not doubling that the members of the Selma Con-
yentious will on reflection, concur in these views,
remain, &c. LEVERETr SALTONsTAIlr

party for Massachusetts,.

Those circpmstances, those people, en-

Senator Jones' bill for new ditch law
win not meet fully the wants Of the peo-
pie. They want a law, simple, cheap,

From constitutional difficulties one OF
this character, I fear, cannot be had.
Mr.. Carlsle's House Bill, requiring
the owners Of land to keep FREQ from drif,
and distractions the channels Of unnavi-
gablestreama running through their prem
ises, viii probably pass the House in a
few days. This is an important measure.
/ A bin for the disposal Of all minor crimi-
nal ofenses by Justices is an important
measure, aud, II it becomes law, win
save large amount 10 the tax-pavers.-
An important bill has passed. allowing
persons who have formed opinions from
newspaper reports to serve as Jurors in
criminal cases, at the discretion Of tho
Courts. The present practice virtually
excludes every intelligent and well quail
flied Juror from serving in capital cases.
for the reason that such persons read the
papers and involuutarially form an opin-
ion, yet they are really as free from bias
as the Judges who participate in the trial
and far superior to the Jurors usually OBJ
tanned, who frequently falsely deny huv-
ing formed an opinion or who, from ig-
norance and stupidity, know nothing
OF the two latter classes our Juries in
capital cases are usually selected Tho
consequence is, that few convictions are
had and murderers 60 unpunished.

Of constitutional majority. There is
no getting rid of judicial leoches. The
bill for the sale of the public works,
fear, will not pass, much as it Is needed.
A combination Of interested parties will
oppose it. The bread and butter Of too
many hangers on dependupon the decision
of this question; but we do hope to ma

His home is in the forest dank,
On Natures boundess manor,
Where emigration vanward rank
Unfurls its gorgeous banner
Before him Natures Wild domain
In gloomy pride ls frowning;
Behind him 6elds Of golden grain,
The reapcrs toll are crowning.
Around bis cot, in Tot st glade.
The mighty oaks are crashing;
And rurnns streams, that danced IN shade
Are in the sunshine flashing.
Or mirrord in the MONDAY blaze,
CLEAN bright as FURNISHED metal;
And flowers, 70 shun the sums bright rays,
Fold mp each purple petal.
In forest slopes, where aeorns fell,
In smoky Indian Summer
And where remote in sylvan dell,
Was heard the wo ,dland drummer,
The Pioneers rude hut is seen,
His rustic home hereafter;
Aud, ringing uro the wildwood green,
Come burls Of childish laughter.
Such home Is TO his bosom dear;
SO quaint, 50 fresh and rural,
With all the woodland choir to cheer,
His heart with joyous carol,
A sterncr lot was HE, when wogcd,
Mid panic aud disorderg
A ruthless Indian warfare pged.
Along he bloody border.
Till crimson stains each threshhold bore,
Throughout our fair Ohio;
No'cr redder grew thy hearths with gore;
Obi lovely, hapless seio.
His bosom was his loved ones shield.
Against the vengeful arrow;
Gainst fear his manly heart was steeled,
His breast must know no sorrow.
Pcrchoee upon the very soil
Your plowshares now are turning.
He saw his home the red mans spoil,
And saw his cabin burning.
Or, when his day Of labor DER,
Home to his loved ones speeding;
He found upon his cabin floor.
His wife and children bleeding.

COLUMNS, Ohio, Mar. 9th 1860.
EDrToRs Tlrrm TRmuNE:-The Leg-
islature is now earnestly at work dispos-
ing Of the large amount Of business on
hand, as rapidly, perhaps, as a due con
sideration Of the various questions, and
the true Interests of the State viii per-
nit. Hasty legislation is very much like
other hasty work never well done. Ma
ny are of the opinion that sixty or seven
~ days, consumed in annual sessions, is
amply sufficient for all the varied inter
ests Of the great State of Ohio and that
all the legislation necessary, may be dis
posed Of in that length Of time. This is
very great mistake, and little expo
rience viii convince the most skeptical
Of the fallacy ofthat opinion. IT'S true,
a v asst amount of unnecessary work il
done-much time Is wnsted in qasy speoch-
es, dilatory motions, chickering's and par
ty strife, but who can devise possible
remedy for these admitted evils, these
irailties Of human nature, inseperably
connected with the proceedings Of all
dehberative bodies, whore freedom OF
thought and of speech ore tolerated. The
people are asking for legislation, their
petitions indicate their wants, and these
petitions have been pouring in every day
since the commencement Of the session.
And still they come; and say, let them
come form this way we ascertain the
wishes, the wants, and the needs OF the
people.
In regard to the early adjournment, the
prospect is exceedingly unfavorable.-
On Friday the Horse took from the Ia
Bile Senate Resolutions, relating to an
adjournment on the 18th inst, to reas-
semele on the let Monday Of Janeary
1861, but failed to concur by very d.
cide4 majority. The prospect now is that
the session will not close ill In April
-Four weeks Of hard labor win not
finish the work that should be DONE
Our Democratic friends, though they vot-
ed against che Standardization, say that
an adjourned session mus and win be
held.
