THE CHICAGO PLATFORM
AND HIS EXEMPLIFICATION.
Facts worth Rememberins.

resolutions composing the platform OF the
Republican party, as adopted at the Chicago
Convention in 1860:

TI0NS AT THE FEDERAL. METROPO-
LIS SHOW THAT AN ENTIRE
CHANGE OF ADMINISTRATION Is
IMPERATIVELY DEMANDED.
The above text is very pointed and speci.
fic, but probably the best commentary we
can offer upon it, is the following taken from
q recent speech Of Mr. Dawes, Republican
member Of Congress from the State Of Mas
sachusetts: N
The gentlemen must remember that in
the first year Of The Republican administration,
which came into power upon professions OF
RETRENCHMENT snd REFooM, there is INDU-
BITABLE EVIDENCE abroad in the land that

n Mf. Richardson's Speech,

We publish, this week, speech,
which We hope none of our readers
will fail to peruse carefully. Mr..
Richardson was the most intimate POI
litical friend of the late lamented
Stephen A. Douglas.
The argument of Mr.. Richardson
shows conclusively that the Republican
majority in the present Congress have
devoted nearly the whole time of that
body to the niger business-to the
exclusion of business Of vital impor-
tance to the country and the people.
The speech consists mainly of state
ment Of facts that cannot be, and will
not be, controverted. Again we say,
read the speech, and you will get a
pretty good idea of what Congress has
been doing, and is doing, for the ne

ARRIVAL of ihe Perstn.

New YORK, June 5.--The Persia arrived
this morning. .
The European political news is unimpor.
tant.
The anxiety for American intelligence is
daily increased.
In the House Of Commons, Mildmay ask.
ed what steps the Government intended to
take in the case of the Bermuda, seized by
a Federal ship of war on her passage from
one British colory to another.
Layard said the Government had received
information Of the seizure. and the case had
been referred to the law officers OF the crown
whose opinion was awaited.
The Times says the details of the capture
of New Orleans place the surrender in q
more creditable light for its defenders sur
render after such contest as took place
being divested oi any Ieproach. 1t says
stubborn and protracted resistance is yet
threatened by the South, but the progress oil
the North, though somewhat slow, has been
hitherto sure, and il place after place be q.
rest will be hardly worth defending.
The Paris Constitutional argues that the
North, in advancing deep into the South, will
yet meet unsurmountable objects; that the
end is further off than ever; and that those
who urge the North to establish its sway or
sanguinary ruins and devastation, are moi
aware OF the sad future they would prepare
for the emancipation Of four million negroes
apd slavery for six million whites.
Arguments relative to the restitution o.
the ship Emily st. Pierre, were advanced
pro and con in the Liverpool journals.
The Globe says England has washed hei
hands of the Mexican business, retaining
only that hold OF Vera Cruz customs, asser-
ted to compel the discharge OF debts to En-.
glish subjects.
Lord Paget said the admiralty settled
with Capt. Coles relative to his cupola inven.
tions. It's reported he gets 5000 pounds
down and 100 during fourteen years.
The Common Council of London unani.

D@~ At the present time there are
hundreds of good Union men in this
county, who are for the Union as it
was and the Constitution as it is, who
have heretofore voted against the DEM
ocratic party, and who are heartily
sick of the Abelitionism of the Repub-
lican leaders, who will vote the Dem
ocratic Union Ticket at the approach>
ing election for Members of Congress.
Let all such men attend the township
meetings. They intend to vote at the
election for conservative Union men
and it is right they shold have voice
in making nominations.
The approaching election will be a
contest between conservatism and
Abolitionism, and all men, without re-
gard to former, political associations,
who are opposed to the heresies of the
majority in Congress and in our State
Legislature will stand shoulder to
shoulder and battle for the Constitu-
ton and the Union.

Congressional Proceedings --- Is
she Party i'm Power 20 be Trust
seds e4ss ae
I'VE direct particular attention to the
Congressional proceedings published
nfthis paper, and especially to last Fri-
days proceedings. These proceedings
will show the people that the
Government is not, in the hands of
it's friends. The President has already
appointed three or four military Cow
ernors, with the prospect of appointing
several more. These Governors, as a
gcheralthing, we believe have endea-
vored to sustain the Constitution and
the laws of the country. This was
not pleasing to the eyes of the aboli-
ton republicans. Hence we see their
leader, Charles Sumner, get up in his
place in the Senate, and offer resolu>
tion, that the Office of military Gov
ernor is contrary to the Constitution
and laws, destructive Of the civil au-.
thofity, and contrary to the spirit Of.
our Institutions. The President Of
the United States takes an oath to
support THE Constitution and laws, and
weshave q Senator Of his own party
Offering . resolution, which says in
language not to be misunderstood, that
the Pfesident, By appointing Military
Governors, has done an unconstitu-
tional act. If Mr.. Summers resolu-
tion IS correct, is IL not time that Mr..
Lincoln should be hurled from power?
If it is notlcorrect, is it not time that
Charles Sumner should be elected
from bis seat for accusing the Presii-
dent Of violating his oath? These are
curious times, and It behooyes the peo-
pie to on the alert and endeayor to
preserve their liberties.
