WOMEN GoING TO BEp.-Some fine writer gives the following as the manner in which young lady goes to bed
 When bed time arrives she trips uT stairs with candle in her hand, and i she had pleasant company during the eve. ming, with some agreeable ideas in hel head. The candle on the toilet, and hel luxuriant hair is speedily emancipatet from the thraldom of combs and pins. | she usually wears !" water curls," or uses the " iron," her hair is brushed back from her forehead, and the whole completely secured if not, why then her lovely tresses are soon hid in innumerable bits of paper. This task accomplished, a nigh cap appears, edged, it may be, with plain muslin, or perhaps with heavy lace, whicf hides all save her own sweet countenance As soon as she ties the strings, she proba bly, takes a peep in the glass, and hal smiles and bushes at what she sees. The light is out--her fair, delicate form gently presses the couch, and like dear, inno. cent lovely creature as she is, falls gently to sleep, with smile on her still sweetel face. sd s6.s
 We don't approve of the description and feel safe in saying that the young lady at least takes off her shoes and stock ings, and becomes separated from her skeleton skirt, before her delicate form presses the couch. a3

Encourage familiarity with all that love to court them dumb animals love children and children love them. There is a language among them which the worlds language obliterates in the elders.

ALABAMA.

To the Hon. Caleb Cushing, President of th'
 Democratic Convention, now in session II
 the City of Charleston, s. C.: sa eaesq
 The undersigned delegates, represent ing the State of Alabama in this Conven ton, respectfully beg leave to submit tt your honorable body the following state ment of facts: ue h4l gR7 g
 On the 1lth day of January, 1860, the Democratic party of the State of Alabama met in Convention in the city of Mont. gomery, and adopted, with singular una nimity, series of resolutions herewith submitted, Under these resolutions the undersigned received their appointment and participated in the action of the Con. vention.
 By the resolution of instruction, the tenth in the series, we were directed to insist that the platform adopted by this Convention should embody, " in whole, 2 the propositions embraced in the preced- ing resolutions, prior to nominating can didates. Anxious, If possible, to continue our relations with this Convention, and thus maintain, if possible, the nationality of the democratic party, we agreed to ac- cept, as the substance of the Alabama platform. either of the two reports sub mitted to this Convention by the majority of the Committee on Resolutions--this majority representing not only a majority of the States in the Union, but also the only States at all likely to be carried by the democratic party in the Presidential election. We beg to make these reports a part of this communication.
 Ha This Convention has refused, by the platform adopted, to settle either of these propositions in favor of the South. We deny to the people of Territory any power to legislate against the institution of slavery, and we assert that 1t is the duty of the Federal Government, in all its departments, to protect the owner of slaves in the employment of his property in the Territories. These principles, as we state them, are embodied in the Ala bama platform. ssiiis. sd5 so
 Here, then, is plain, explicit and di- rect issue between this Convention and the constituency which we have the honor to represent in this body. ~ sal
 Instructed, as we are, not to waive this issue, the contingency, therefore, has arisen, when, in our opinion, 1t becomes our duty to withdraw from this Conven- tion We beg, sir, to communicate this fact through you, and to assure the Con venlion that we do so in no spirit of an ger, but undersa sense of imperative ob- liga.ion, properly appreciating its respon- abilities and cheerfully submitting to its consequences. s8 4tsss l..

XEAT AND EAST.

BY every steamer from Europe we baye renewed
intelligence of the murder Of Eastern Christians
by Mohsmmedans in syria, around the Lebanon,
in Bulgaria. at the foot of the Balkan in Bosnia,
and in Albania. Such are the fruits of the seed
thrown over European and Asiatic Turkey by the
treaty of Paris Year after year events justify the
fore bOdiDgs uttered at that tune by THE TRIBUNE
as to the ineffciency of the sO-caed Sultanic re-
foIms, and the utter iDpOssibllity of political
equality among Turks and Christians under the
same Government We foresaw the dangers
which must surround the Christians delivered over
to the mercy of Turkish offcials-dangers not to
be averted by the introduction of the ensanguned
crescent into the faDi, Of civilized nations, or by
consignng the Christians to the guardianship of
joint CT mmittee of European diplomats. We regret
that our fears are realized. But let the RESPONSE.
bility for this diplomatic crime-for the innocent
blood nov flowing 10 torrents in the east of Europe
eity, worth several hundreds of Millions by the
hards of frantic Mohammedans, be placed where
it belongs.
Fear alone will curb and repress the violence
and cruelty of savages. Such prominently are
the TurkomaIs in their relations with Christians.
The Western powers relieved the Turks from the
fear Of quick chasisement ut the hands of Russia,
and substituted for it European guardianship and
diplomacy. In the few years since the Crimean
war and the treaty Of Paris, more oppression, in
justice, and cruelty, have been visited upon the
Christian population Of Turkey than during the
twenty previous years of almost uudisputed Rus
sian Influence in Constantinople. England, France,
and Austria, insisted on preserving the Moslem
sway, and guaranteed the good behavior of the
Turks. Thus England, France, and Austria, have
devoted to destruction the Christians in European
and Asiatic Turkey. Almost everywhere, Turkish
soldiers, civil and military officials, Cadis and
Pashas, side with the murdersrs; and they delib-
erately throw the defenseless Christians on the
knives and yatagans Of the Infatuated Moslems.
England and France have recently sent deet
to the coasts of Syria to put stop to those revolt
ing massacIes. But as was necessarily the case
with so tardy an Intervention, the united fleets ar,
rived just in time to witness the lurid glare of
burning Villages and cities, and to bury the bodies
Of thousands Of massacred men, women, and chill.

STATE OF THE CANvA So.

Every few days We are asked if the Republicans
are not likely to lose the Presidential battle by
reason of their own apathy, resulting from over
weeniDg confidence and consequent lack of exer-
ton. And our uniform answer is that we see no.
thing hear of nothing, that impresses us with a
sense of signal danger in that respect.
Where il this deprecated apathy Is it manifest
in Vermont and Massachusetts,, wherein all the
factions opposed to the Republican party cannot,
whether separately combined, poll forty per cent
of the whole vote-csnnot, if they do their very ut
most, come within Twenty Thousand Votes of car
Tying the former n0rwithin Thirty Thousand Ofcar-
rying the latter WhstwOuld be the use of drum
ming up monster meetings and making vehement
canvass in these States Such course would put
their people to heavy expense in time and money,
and might add few thousands to their Lincoln
majorties; but they will be large enough any how,
and it does ct seem to us judiciOus to incur the
cost of swelling them so needlessly.
As to Maine, New. Hampshire, Rhode Island
Connecticut, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Iowa, all our information cOncurs in as
surfing us that all needed effort has been or will be
made, and that each Of these States is sure for
Lincoln by larger majority than it has ever yet
given The late Republican triumph in Milwau-
kee, one of the largest and by far the most Demo-
cratic of their cities, shows that the Republican
strength in the Northwest was never before so
great. We are quite aware that Mr.. Douglas is
personally strong in that quarter-that is, he has
large body of devoted personal adhereots' whom
he will magnetic with his own desperate courage
and activity; but each Of these States is imnova-
bly, Republican, and can only be made to see N
otherwise by the grossest and most gigantic frauds
These will be guarded against, and oil proper o.
forts made to bring out their full Republican vote
And that will in each State be enough.
As to Indiana and Illinois, they are now being
mognifcently fought, and those who talk dolefully
of apathy must surely have theireyes directed else
where than to them. Mr.. Douglas Is personally
strong in both States-his supporters have done,
