Archbishop Hughes on the Kitchen.

Archbishop Hughes, attending recently thu
exhibition of the St. Vincent Academy of Youne
Ladies, made them an address, in the course
of which he is reported to have said
Although it is of the utmost Importance
young ladies, that you should have a good etlu.
cation, should be accomplished, cultivated
graceful and refined, yet there are other thing:
that cannot be lost sight of. Before another
year rolls around propose to arrange with the
Sisters for new branch of study in the Acad-
emy. That branch of study is what the French
call the science of cutStne. 1t is the science oil
keeping house, and that we all know commences
with the kitchen. Every young lady, don't
care if she be queens daughter, ought to un-
derstand that department of life Even though
she may not have to practice it, though she may
be able to hire her cook, yet she should under
stand it herself, for it may happen some day that
the cook will dismiss her. TGreat laughter L
Well, predicament she would be in then Well
what | was going to say was, that the Sisters
should arrange it so that all the girls over l3
years of age should be enabled to spend por-
tion Of the time in the kitchen, and become ac-
quahted with cooking and housekeeping Here
will be new bureau of education. Laughter I
We shall then have the theory and some prac-
tice too.
"Another point and l will close. At the end
of another year. if living, and my purse is long
enough, am going to give gold medal of not
less than $50 in value, to the young lady who
will write the best essay, not exceeding FIVE
pages in length, upon this great new science |

He Asks and Answers.

In his White House stump speech Mr.. Buch-
anan asks:
"Shall we divide the democratic party,
North and South? That is the question-noth-
ing more-nothing less"
And then replies in the negative thus:
"It will exist, it must exist as long as the
Constitution and the Union endure. 1t has
grown up in the name of the Constitution and
the Union, and like one of the tall cedars of
Lebanon, it will endure, it will extend its
branches; it will protect that sacred instrument
from foreign foes and international traitors
And thus answering, he straightway goes to
work and endeavors to do the very thing which
he apparently deprecates-he straightway says
to his hundred thousand ofice-holders, "De-
feat Douglas-go work with all your might-bolt
the regular nominations-divide the party in
every State-weaken it in every way-burst it
up, if it be necessary-defeat Douglas at all haz-
ards. 1t would not do for me, in my position,
to make political speeches throughout this can
vass, though my heart is in it, But you must do
it, or no longer enjoy the patronage of my ad-
ministratonl"

1YcoRRECT.-The report which has been sc
widely disseminated that Senator Douglas stated
to Senator Latham, that, in the event of Brod-
erick surviving and returning to Washington
he Senator Douglas) would not have shaken
hands with him, is entirely incorrect We have
it from the highest authority that Senator
Douglas never said anything of the kind, and
neither did Senator Latham ever say that he did
What Mr. Douglas did say is this, that when
Mr.. Broderick and himself parted, they were mol
as friendly as before, for the reason that Sena-
tor Broderick and John W. Forney desired Mr.
Douglas to run as candidate for the Presiden-
cy under any circumstances, which Mr.. Douglas
refused. As to there being any deep seated
feeling on the part of Mr.. Douglas against Sen
ator Broderick, is all fudge.-S. f. Spirit Of tn.

Regular Democratic Platform.

The following is the Platform adopted by the
National Democratic Convention at Charleston
Rssolued, That we, the Democracy of the
Union in Convention assembled, hereby declare
our affirmation of the resolutions unanimously
adopted and declared as platform of princ-
Piles by the Democratic Convention at Cincin-
natl in the year 1856, believing that Democratic
principles unchangeable in their nature
when applied to the same sui ject matter, and
we recommend as our only further resolutions
the following
That nasmuch as differences of opinion exist
in the Democratic party to the nature and
extent of the powers of Territorial Legislature,
| and as to the powers and duties of Congress,
under the Constitution of the United States,
over the Institution of slavery within the Terri
tories:
Resolred, That the Democratic party will
abide by the decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States over the institution of slavery
within the Territories.
Resotred, That it is the duty of the United
States to afford ample and complete protection
to all its citizens, at home or abroad and wheth-
er native or foreign born
ResolUed, That one of the necessities of the
age, in a military, commercial and postal point
of view, is speedy communication between the
Atlantic and Pacific States, and the Democratic
party pledge Such constitutional enactment as
will insure the construction of railroad to the
Pacific coast at the earliest practicable period.
| Resolred, That the Democratic party are in
| favor of the acquisition of the Island of Cuba,
on such terms as shall be honorable to ourselves
and just to Spain.
Resolved, That the enactments of State Legs-
| latures to defeat the faithful execution of the
| Fugitive Slave Law are hostile in character
subversive of the constitution and revolutionary
in their effect.
At Baltimore the Convention adopted thi:
additional resolution, making it also part o
the regular Platform:
Resolued, That it is in accordance with tn.
Cincinnati platform, that during the existence
of Territorial Governments, the measures of re
striction, whatever the may be, imposed by tn
Federal Constitution on the power of the Terri
torial Legislature, over the subject of the do
mestic relations, as the same has been, or shal
hereafter be, finally determined by the Supre,1
Court of the United States, should be respecte
by all good citizens, and enforced with prompt
ness and fidelity by every branch of the Gen
eral Government.

The Fond Embrace.

VIM. Il. Weeks of Sacramento, made speech
before the Republican Central Club of San

Broderick and Mr. Douglas in opposition the

A Wintry Jeu D'Esprit.

The following "pungent and spicy reminls-
,ence of December" Holmes, of the Mari
,osa Gazettc calls it, will be found particularly
in these sweltering days when the
is boiling in all the thermometers 1t
was written long ago, and is entitled,
DECEMBER, &C. ETC.
Sweet Susie Brown, my pretty one,
I'm sure you must remember
If not for love, at least for fun
The sleigh ride in December;
When all the bellies and all the beaux,
In spite of frost would go forth,
And squeeze beneath the buffaloes,
Each others hands, &c.
How brightly streamed the northern lights
Above the snowy ridges
How pleasant were the wintry nights
Observed from country bridges
Where " toll" is sought with such address,
Mid laughter, fun and hattery,
And lovers feel amid the press,
Each others hearts, etc.
'Tis very singular and queer,
0fall the mad devices,
Loves fame should burn so bright and clear
Of fuel formed of ices;
And yet we know its flame, indeed,
Most brilliantly will glow FORTH
When famed behind flying steed,
Mid under furs, sc.
I'm sure You mind the village inn,
The supper and the reyel,
How, in the general dire and din,
Love shot his arrows level
And don't forget how Henry Kid
Embraced you in the buttery;
You kissed his lips-you know you did
And he kissed yours, etc.
And when the forfeits all were paid,
How one old maid resisted,
Until the younger ladies said,
A prude they all detested.
s'Desistl !" she cried-the ancient Ann
Her modesty to show forth,
"Tll never yield to any man
My virgin lips, &C.
The wintry winds, the homeward way,
Blew chilly in our faces,
But underneath our furs we lay
All snugly in our places
One girl upon the forward seat
The pretty Nellie Saterlee-
Declared Jack Frost had pinched her cheek
And Billy Frost, etc.
Another, underneath her robe,
(The buffaloes, not her dresses,)
Fair Patience, with attendant Job
Detected in caresses-
Sprang up with angry, blushing face,
Her innocence to show forth,
But showed her curls were out of place,
Her collar gone, &c.
And then the parting at the door,
Its tender, mutual blissesi
Sweet lips, from their abundant store,
Gave to the poor in kisses
The parting word-the long embrace
Cupid's most dangerous witchery,
Brought fire to many boyish face,
And raised sweet hopes. etc.
Dear Susie Brown, save you and I,
Of all that load of merrment,
No other pair are left to try
Loves latest, best experiment;
And when the coming SHOWS shall spread,
Our mutual hopes shall glow forth,
May hymen bless our nuptial bed,
Increase our joys, &c.

OPPOSITION TO HooPs.--A new invention call
ed the :" Shirt Bosom Expander," is recommend
ed for general adoption, not only a matter O
fashion, but one of necessity. The article i:
manufactured of nicely covered watch spring
steel, and is intended to keep the shirt in an
expanded position, thereby securing neatness,
as the front does not touch the body or become
saturated with perspiration. To afford au easy
and graceful support to the chest, dispensing
with wadding, and effects thorough crcula-

the vote of MIR. Lincoln for the resolutions of

that Old Abe coted against a bill granting one
hundred and st1ty acres Of land to each Of the vol-

it his wrath upon the patriotic men, young and
old, who at the call of their country marched to
