Influence of Females on Society.

From an accurate account OF the
condition of women in any country, it
would not be difficult to infer the whole
state of society. So great is the infu-
ence they exercise on the character Of
men, that the latter will be elevated or
degraded, according to the situation of
the weaker sex. When women are
slaves, as in Turkey, the men will be
the same; where they are treated as
moral beings,-where their minds are
cultivated, and they are considered
equals, state of society must be
high and the character of the men
energetic and noble. There is SO much
quickness of comprehension SO much
susceptibility of pure and generous
emotion, SO much ardor of affection i'll
women, that they constantly stimulate
men to exertion and have, at the same
time, a most powerful agency in sooth-
ing the angry feelings, and in mitigat-
ing the harsh and narrow propensities
which are generated in the strife Of
passions.
The advantages of giving superior
education to the women are not con-
fined to themselves, but have salutary
influence on our sex. The fear that
increased instruction will render them
incompetent or neglectful i'll domistic
life, is absurd in theory, and completely
destroyed by facts. Women, as well
as men, when once established i'll life,
know that there is an end OF trifiing
its solicitudes and duties multiply upon
them equally fast; the former are apt
to feel them much more keenly, and too
frequently abandon all previous ac-
quirements todevote themselves wholly
to these. But, if the one sex have cul-
tivated and refined minds, the other
must meet them from shame, if not
from sympathy. If a man finds that
his wife is not a mere nurse or house
keeper; that she can, when the occu-
pations of the day are over, enliven a
winters evening; that she can con-
verse on the usual topics of literature,
and enjoy the pleasure. of superior con-
versation, or the reading of a valuable
book, he must have prevented taste,
indeed, if it does not make home still
dearer and prevent him from resorting
to taverns for recreation. The benefits
to her children need not be NJ mentioned /;
instruction and cultivated taste in a
mother enhances their respect and af.
lection for her, and their love of home,
and throw a charm over the whole
scene of domestic life Wna. Tudor.

Below we present our readers with
a correct copy of the several Platforms
adopted by the various National Con-
ventions, and accepted by the several
candidates. They are worthy of close
attention and should be carefully pre-
served by every voter, for reference
The Democratic Platforms.
THE BRECKENRIDGE PLATFORM.
Resolced, That the platform adopted
by the Democratic party at Cincinnati
be affirmed, with the following explain
atory resolutions:
First-That the government of a
Territory organized by act of Congress
is provisional and temporary, and dur
ing its existence all citizens of the
United States have an equal right to
settle with their property in the Terri
tory, without their rights, either of
person or property, being DESTROYED or
injured by Congressional or Territorial
legislation.
Secoad-That it is the duty of the
Federal Government, in all its depart
ments, to protect the rights of persons
and property in the Territories, and
wherever else its constitutional author
ity extends.
Third-That when the settlers in a
Territory having an adequate popula-
ton to form State Constitution, the
right of sovereignty commences, and
being consummated by their admission
into the Union, they stand on an equal
ity with the people of other States, and
a State thus organized ought to be ad
mitted into the Federal Union, wheth-
er its constitution prohibits or organic
es the institution of slavery.
Resolced, That the democratic party
are in favor of the acquisition of Cuba,
on such terms as shall be honorable to
ourselves and just to Spain, at the ear
liest practical moment.
ResolUed, That the enactments of
the State Legislatures to defeat the
faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave
Law are hostile in character, subser-
sive of the constitution and revolution
airy in their effect.
Resolved, That the Democracy of
the United States recognize it as the
imperative duty of this government to
protect the naturalized citizen in all his
rights, whether at home or in foreign
lands, to the same extent as its native
born citizen.
Whereas, One of the greatest neces-
esties of the age, in political, COM
mercial, postal and military point OF
view, is speedy communication be-
tween the Pacific and Atlantic coasts
therefore be it
Resolced, That the National Demo
cratic party do hereby pledge them
selves to use every means in their pow
er to secure the passage of some bill
to the extent of their constitutional an
thority, by Congress, for the construc
ton of Pacific Railroad from the
Mississippi river to the Pacific ocean
at the earliest practical moment.

Difficult Question Answered.

An exchange asks if anybody can
tell why, when Eve was manufactured
from one of Adams ribs, hired girl
wasn't made at the same time to
wait on her?" The Life Illustrated
answers this question as follows:
We can, easy! Because Adam
never came whining to Eve with a rag
ged stocking to be darned, collar
string to be sewed on, or a glove to be
mended "right away, qui. k, now %
Because he never read the newspaper
until the sun got down behind the
palm trees, and then stretched himself
yawning out, "ain't supper most ready,
my dear?" Nothe. He made the fire
and hung over the. teakettle himself,
we'll venture, andpulled the radishes,
and peeled the bananas, and did every
thing else that he ought to !! He MIXED
the cows, and fedthe chickens, and
looked after the pigs himself. He
never brought home half dozen
friends 10 dinner when Eve hadn't any
fresh pomegrantes, and the mango sea-
son was over. He never stayed out
till ii o'clock, to a "-ward meeting,' y
hurrahing for the out and out candidate,
and then scolded because poor Eve
was sitting up and crying inside the
gates. To be sure he acted rather
cowardly about apple gathering slime,
but then that don't depreciate his gen
eral helpfnlness about the garden. He
never played billiards, nor drove fast
horses, nor choked Eve with cigar
smoke. He never loafed around corner
groceries while Eve was rocking little
Gains cradle at home. In short, he
did not think she was specially created
for the purpose of waiting on him
and wasn't under thesimpression thai
it disgraced man to tighten his wife's
cares little. That's the reason why
Eve did not need hired girl, and we
wish it was the reason that none of hel
fair descendants did

THE DOUGLAS PLATFORM.

Resolced, That we, the democracy
of the Union, in Convention assembled
hereby declare our affirmation of the
resolutions unanimously adopted and
declared as Platform of principles by
the Democratic Convention at Cincin-
natl in the year 1856, believing that
Democratic principles are unchangable
in their nature when applied to the
same subject matter, and we recon-
mend as our only further resolutions the

ion exists in the democratic party as to
the nature and extent of the powers of

over the institution of Slavery within
the Territories.
ResolUed, That the democratic party
will abide by the decision of the Su,
preme Court over the institution of

ResolUed, That it is the duty of the

plete protection to all its citizens, al
home or abroad, and whether native OF
foreign born.
Resoloed, That one of the necessities
of the age, in a military, commercial
and postal point of view, is speedy

railroad to the Pacific coast at the
earliest practical period.
Resolved. That the democratic party
are in favor of the acquisition of the

Spain.
ResolCed, That the enactment o.

Law are hostile in character, subsersive
to the constitution and revolutionary

HARD BUTTER WITHOUT IcE.-To
have delightfully."- hard butter in summer
without ice, the plan recommended by
that excellent and useful publication,

is good one. Put n trivet or any
open fiat thing with legs, in q saucer !;
put on this trivet the plate of butter,
and fill the saucer with water; turn a
common flower-pot upside down over
the butter, so that its edge shall be
within the saucer and under the water.
Plug the hole of the flower-pot with a
cork, then drench the fower-pot with
water, set in cool place until MORN
ing, or if done at breakfast, the butter
will be very hard by supper time.

BY THE AUTHOR OF ''ovER THE RIVER"

BY THE AUTHOR OF "OvER THE RIVER"
Beyond these chilling winds and gloomy skies,
Beyond deaths gloomy portal,
There is a land where beauty never dies,
And love becomes immortal
A land whose light is never dmmed by shade,
Whose fields are ever vernal
Where nothing beautiful can ever fade,
But bloom for aye, eternal.
We may not know how sweet its balmy air,
How bright and fair its flowers;
We may not hear the songs that echo there,
Through those enchanted bowers.
The city's shining towers we may not see,
With our dim, earthly vision,
For Death, the silent warder, keeps the key,
That ope's these gates elysian.
But sometimes, when adown the western sky
The fiery sunset fingers,
Its golden gates swing inward noselessly,
Unlocked by unseen fingers.
And while they stand moment half ajar,
Cleans from the inner glory
Stream brightly through the azure vault afar,
And half reveal the story.
Oh, land unknownl Oh, land of love divinel
Father, all wise, eternal, 1mint
Guide, guide these wandering. way-worn feet o
Into those pastures vernal.
