PIArroRx RESOLUTION.

Mr.. Payne, of Ohio. Ii is generally I'M.
derstood that the platform was adopted at
Charleston. | understand distinguished
member from Louisiana (Mr. Wickliffe1 de-
aires TO present n resolution relating TO the
platform, and hope he will be allowed to
do 90.
Gov. Wicklife, of Louisiana. In behalf
OF the Committee on Resolutions, beg leave
TO present tho following. The adoption of
1t will give to Stephen Al. Douglas forty
thousand votes in two of the Southern. States
pf this Union.
Resolved. That it is in accordance with
the Interpretation of the Cincinnati platform,
that during the existence Of the Territorial
governments the measure Of restriction,
whatever it may be, imposed by the Federal
Constitution on the power oftbe Territorial
Legislature over the subject Of the domestic
relations, as the same has been or shall here
after be finally determined by the Supreme
Court of the United States, should be re.
spected by all good citizens, and enforced
with promptness and fidelity BY every branch
OF the General Governments.
The resolution was received with loud ex-
pressions OF appreciation.
MIR. Payne. Mr.. President, undertake
to say that no fair minded man, North or
South, can fnd fault with one word Of that
resolution. lSeveral voices--ssNot word -
Now. with the permission of the Chair, will
road il again in the hearing of this part Of
the house.
The gentleman read the resolution from
his seat, and moved the previous question.
The previous question was then seconded,
and the convention ordered that it be now
taken.
The resolution was adopted with one or
two Dissenting voices.
Mir. Price, Of Louisiana, moved 60 recon
slider the vote on its adoption, and to Law
that motion on the table, which was agreed
to.
Why is that resolution thought to be
worth forty thousand votes to the Douglas
that Senator Benjamin demonstrated in bis
speech that the Supreme Court had decided
uuequivocaily in favor Of the right Of slave
holders to hold their slaves in the Terrific
ries in spite Of Congress or the Territorial
Legislature.
And that resolution does in fact surrender
the whole ground, for il there be any doubt
of what has been decided by the Supreme
Court in the bred Scott case, there cannos
be the slightest doubt as to what will be de-
cided by that Court, for majority of The
Judges are from the South, and partake in
its utmost intensity Of the fanatcism which
now prevails 10 that section in favor of slave
~ extension and slavery perpetuation.
That resolution shows clearly that the
Bobtails only differ from the Stnmptails in
their mode of extending slavery and protect.

The wretched abortion called a Douglas

hostility Of few disappointed politicians

contest. We look for its speedy dissolution
and evaporation.
The other party, composed OF well-meaa-

the futility Of it's movement, and, without
any great sacrifice, settle down into the sun.

The Position OF Forncy,s Press.

The Position OF Forncy's Press.
Forpey's Press is for Douglas and John
son. But it is 90 bitter against the Bucha n
antics and Shareholders who train in the
Breckenridge and Lane ranks, that Is will
keep up and stimulate most bitter and de-
structive war between the two wings OF the
Democracy in Pennsylvania. And in the
meantime it will have not word to say
against Lincoln, and we may therefore count
that the Press is doing the most effsctual SER
vice possible in behalf Of our ticket.
Here is the conclusion at which Forney
arrives:
While, however, we shall support the
election OF Stephen A. Douglas, The Press
will in no respect be party newspaper. 1t
can scarcely 20 further in vindicating him
than IL has already gone, and while follow
ing the path it has marked out will not hest.
tate to do lussice TO other candidates and to
other parties by abstaining from all imputa-
tions upon their integrity. and by reiterating
none of the silly scandals and calumnies of
their adversaries. To this remark we must
make one exception: The press is the nncom-
promising foe of the Disunion- Secession
Administration party; the foe of It's candi-
dates, its leaders, it's organs, and its apollo
gists, North or South.

WHO'S CRUSHED OuT Nova few years
ago Douglas stood in the United States SEN
ate, backed by united Democratic Senate,
and proclaimed, with mien and voice Of in
sulting triumph, "we'll subdue the Republi-
cams, and crush out the spirit OF disafeotion
in Kansas" But, soon after, Douglas was
compelled to lower bic tone, in order to save
his place in the United States Senate, and
now the South has crushed him.

Down beside the misty mountain,
Near the flowing Susqnehanna,
Like a merry, laughing fountain.
Lived the happy Mariana
Like the summer sky above her,
And the blooming scenes around her,
None beheld her but to love her,
Home was not Sweet Home" without her
With her dulcet song and laughter
And her bright eyes round me glancing,
Life forgot the great Hereafter,
In the present so enhancing.
Summer morn and Summer even,
On the stream or broad savanna,
Ny whole ideal Of heaven
Was the smile Of Mariana.
But that smile forever-ever
Sleeps among life 5 buried treasures,
With the flowers we used to gather,
And the song of merry measures.
Still, betincs ! hear the fountain,
IN my dreams Of Susquehanna-
See the grave yard by the mountain
But no more my Mariana.

Coon UNION SENTIMENTS General Houston,
in his late inaugural message to the Texas Lcgs-
lature, expressed the following sentiments
In concluding this inaugural, am rrcsistibly
led to the ref ctlons which hope will be heard
with no disadvantage to any OF my audience
When Texas unit d her destiny with that Of the
Government Of the United States she took upon
herself duties and responsibilities for the faithful
performance OF which we are pledged State.
She enters not into the North, nor into the South,
bat into the Union. Her connection was not
sectional, bnt national and however distinct or
diversified her interests may be as compared with
those of other States, she relics upon the same
Constitution they to secure her in the enjoy
ment Of her right. Making that Constitution
the guiding star OF our career as a State, let our
rivalry approximate more closely to it than any
of our sister States. Itincucatts failhfuness to
the Cnon-lct us be faithful to it, Let us in
our relationships with the General Government
and with the States Of the COnicdcracy allow
none to excel US in our desire to promote peace
and harmony, When our rights are aggressed
upon, let us be behind none in repcling the at.
tack but let us be careful to distinguish be-
tween the acts OF individuals and those of peo-
ple-bctween the wild rawlings Of fanatics and
that public sentiment which truly represents the
masses OF State. 1t is in the diversity OF opin-
ion that Democracy may rest securely.
Inc ilBht 10 thlnk adversely to us Is guaran-
tee of American republGanism, and though this
privilege may often be carried to extremes and
to our deirlment, yet the very safety Of our in
stlutlons depends upon our maintaining it as II
republican principle. When thought becomes
treason, the traitor is as much the en0my Of one
section AS the other. It's overt acts we must re-
pei. lis expression by those inimcal to our
institutions, where they do not exist, need affect
us nothing The alarm at their cndeavors is
needless, and but strengthens them. The eternal
din which has been echoed TO their song of hos
tlllly to the South is music to their ears. Their
aim Is to array scctionasm upon their side, and
thus promote strife and confusion. We should
meet their clamor with the contempt Of IA people
who fear no invasion Of their rights, and instead
OF lcedlnB tue flame Of dscord which Il few in
both sections have kindlcd, lend our cndcavors
towards quenching it altogether. How happy
would have been the result if the attention OF
statesmen, North and South, had been az much
directed toward promoting harmony between
The States, ard ccmcnting those ratcrnal bonds
which can alone hold us together as people, AS
toward promoting the strife OF sections, and the
anlagonizms which fast dividing us. Half
The care half the thought, which has been spent
IN The endearor to meet scctiOnalism by section
alism, bitterness by bitterness, and abolitonSm
by dIsunion, would have made this people to day
happy, united and hopeful nation.

INTERESTING TO LAnlES.-lIusbands have al
ways exactcd the inquisitivc and indclicare priv
ilegc OF opening and suspioonsly perusng letters
directed 10 their wives. We have long hoped to
know that some one in authority, some Judge or
postmaster largely imbued with a truly noble
appreciation OF the rights Of women, would de
eide that husband cannot, in the light of en-
ghtenment, vindicate his desire to insist upon
knowing who his wife is writing to, who is wri-
ting to his WIFE what is written to his wife and
what his wife writes. Our expectation is realized
brilliantly realized. The glorious duty was
allotted TO Holt, Postmaster General of the Uni
ted States Of America. Holt is greater than a
major gencral--ho is gentleman, and. on the
female side, related to all the live beauty of the
nation This good and lovable man says that If
wife does not wish her husband to take her let
tcrs out of the post Office, it will be abhorrcnt 10
law and insulting TO the christian civilization of
the age, for the husband to demand the delivery
to him of such letters. Writing wives, let joy
sparkle in your eyes, clap your innocent hands
and scream" Glory TO Holt in the highest ~
