members
ResoIued, That we the Democracy of the
Union, IN convention assembled, hereby declare
our affirmation of the resolutions unanimously
adopted, and declared as a platform of rrinci-

to all its citizens, at home or abroad, and
whether native or foreign born.
Resoleed, That one of the necessaries of the

the Pacific coast at the earliest practical ssl
Rod.
Resolced, That the Democratic party are in
favor of the acquisition of the Island of Cuba,
on such terms as shall be honorable to our
selves and Just to Spain.
Resolued, That the enactment of State Leg.
~islatures to defeat the faithful execution of the
Fugitive Slave Law, are hostile in characrer,
subversive of the Constitution, and revolution
airy in their effect.
The following supplementary resolution was
adopted at Baltimore
ResoLued, That it is in accordance with the
true Interpretation of the Cincinnati platform
that during the existence of territorial govern.
ment. the measure of restriction, whatever il

ined by the Supreme Court of the the United
States, shall be respected by all good citizens
and enforced, with promptnss and fidelity, by
every branch of the Federal Government.

wagon towards Easton, when he was met by a
Clergyman, who was going to church, and took

"Och honey" said the Irishman, "and

a@ A new organization has just been
perfected at Fox Lake, by several of the best
business men and capitalists of the place, and
a partnership formed, under the name of the
American Leather Company The names OF
the gentlemen engaged in the enterprise are
John W. Davis, George jess, VIM. E. Smith,
Thomas G. Eggleston and c. L. Robinson. The
latter named gentleman claims to have discov-
cred new process of tanning by which leather
can be made softer, more pliable, more lmper-
vious to water, stronger and more durable than
leather tanned in any other way. He also
claims that all this can be done in from 20 to
80 days, according to the kind of leather to be
tanned
Ifwhat is claimed is true, g complete revolu-
ton in the tanning business will probably not
be long in taking place. The erection of the
tannery building has already been commenced
and the company expect to have it completed
and to be engaged in making leather about the
middle of September,

Violent Storm We hear that the rain
storm on Wednesday last, which was tolerably
severe here, was still more terrific a few miles
North of US in the town of Hustisford. The
wind blew fearful gale, and together with the
rain and hail which came down in torrents, did
considerable damage. Two barns belonging to
Richard German, were taken off their founda-
tions, completely. Another belonging to Frank
Rider was entirely demolished and two horses
which were in it at the time were killed.
Corn fields were literally devastated and stacks
of grain were leveled to the ground, in many
instances. We have not been able to gather
full particulars as to the extent of the damage,
but fear that it has been immense. The storm
undoubtedly extended over large section of
country.
