Tammany Platform.

The following platform of principles has
been prepared by committee of Tammany
Hall Democrats and will be submitted to
the ratification of the party on next Thurs
day. 1t will be remembered that the Tam

Convention in Albany few weeks ego be
cause the MOZART and McKEoN factions
we're admitted to an equal representation
with Tammany on the floor of the Con-
vention. Their action cannot divide the
strength of the party as it must be evident
from their platform, that they will cheer
fully sustain in the presidential contest tho
regular nominee of the Chicago Conyen-
ton.
PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES:
/. We believe that the war to preserve
the Union and enforce the authority of the
federal government ought to be vigorously
prosecuted until these objects are accom-
plished.
AZ. We believed that the Constitution has
survived the rebellion, and that, although
traitors have forfeited their lives to the
government, the states live with all their
ghts ummpsired.
3. We believe that the only way to OBJ
tain an honorable peace is to put down
the rebellion and that peace should be
thus secured at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
4. We believe that slavery, as a subject
Of political agitation, has passed from the
politics of this country, and that there
should be but one party of the patriotic
mon Of the land, devoted wholly to the re-
storation of the Union and the supremacy
Of the Constitution, surrendering all sub.
ordinate issues. If the Union is saved ev
cry wrong can be righted if the Union is
lost, all is lost
5. We believe that the want of states
manship, the military Encouragement, the
idle and unconstitutional proclamations, the
arbitrary, despotic, and unnecessary arrests
and the gross and unprecede uted corrup-
tons Of the present administr alton, have
unressorably prolonged the war; caused
military failures whore success would have
otherwise been certain; exasperated the re
bellion; weakened the power Of the govern.
dent; overwhelmed our people with taxa
ton, and brought the nation to the verge
Of finacial ruin.
6. We believe therefore, that the admin
istration of Abraham Lincoln has proved
incompetent and unequal to restoring the
Union, and cannot honorably end the war
and secure alpermaDent peace.

IT is understood that Gov. Bramlette has
addressed an earnest remonstrance to the
President, respecting the enrolment and
enlistment of slaves in Kentucky, and has
notified the President that he will executf
the laws Of Kentucky against all who at
tempt to take slaves from their own
ers without their consent. He claims that
Kentucky has furnished more than hfty
thousand of her sons to defend the Govern
ment, and is willing to furnish still more
all that is allotted to her; that she has
proven her loyalty, and must be treated a
such, and her laws, constitutionally enact
ed, must be respected.

The bare announcement Of this sad

tender remembrance and the unavaiing
regret.
Mrs. c. was a gifted, generous and
lovely woman. All who knew her became
her friends, and her intimate acquaintaa'

close to see the loving hand of a heavenly
Father in what had been sent upon her
The scenes Of the last few hours Of her
life were deeply affecting. The self dis,
trust aud shrinking which at first would
occasionally intrude upon the calmness Of
her con6dng hope in the Lord gradually
gave way to serene firm, and finally
joyful assurance that her redemption was
at hand. The many artIess expressions
OF love and trust and Of tender interest in
her femily, the sweetness Of her look and
the dying smile of peace and triumph will
be cherished among the sacred memories
of her bedside friends.
The grief: husband and the sister
who has been spending the last few months
very pleasantly with her, have our heart.

give abiding comfort be near to sustain

Single dash of half mile. Time, four

score-winning the race by about five
lengths. Some considerable money chang
ed hands among the outsiders and one or
two soft young men more familiar with the
Indian race than with horse races were
badly taken in and done for. We would
advise these gentlemen, when they visit
the haunts of the white man, to confine
their betting to some sport with which the =
have a better acquaintance. .,.
The presence Of many ladies and much
military added greatly to the holiday ap.
Aarance Of the course, and called strong.
ly to mind the description we had seen of
an English Derby.
Horse'racing is pleasant amusement,
and one that we hope will be encouraged
in this locality. It is 10 be sure open 10
the objection of being the provocation to
gambling, but the same objection is Incl
dent to almost any species Of amusements.
The people are prone to bet as the sparks
to fly upwards. They do it a. religious and
sanitary fairs, and nothing is thought of
it. They did j. even, away dawn in m ral
Boston, on the occasion Of the recen. crea,
festival for the aid of soldiers, and the
whole religious press applauded. Blu. if
there are objections to this character of
pastime, 30 also is there much in it to re.
commend it to the favorable notice of a
community such as ours, where SO little
attention is paid to the character and
breed Of horses we raise. Nothing will
so readily incite the raising Of tho best
stock OF horses as the desire to have a
fast one where there is an opportunity to
race them.

~" AkOrHCk INDIAN @MAoSACREI1-
On Saturday evening last our citizens
were again startled by the arrival of Judge
FRAME of Sioux county, with the in.eli-
gence Of the murder by Indiaps Of two
trappers on the Big Sioux river, about As
miles from this place.
The circumstances of this sad affair as
given to us by Judge F., are as follows
The night before. three trappers had stop,
ped at his house, and in the morning start.
ed for Sioux City with quite and amount
Of furs. One, by the name of WHITMAN,
going by land, while the other two, FRED.
PArrEE-a brother Of Lieut. Colonel Jso.
PArTEE, Of the 9TH Iowa Cava!ry-and p.
TESSEs with their furs, set out in small!
boat. Soon after the three had separated
the one on shore was startled by the report
Of four guns and q simultaneous shrek
from the supposed direction of the boat
He proceeded Immediately in that direc.
ton, and when he arrived at the river dis
covered the boat floating in an eddy, under
the opposite shore. The furs were thrown
on the bank, but nothing was seen OF bis
companions. He returned Immediately
to the bouse Of Mr.. /. and with hin, and
several others, went back to learn if pos
sib'e the fate Of the two who had started
in the boat. Nothing new however was
discovered, but everything indicated so
strongly the presence of Indians that the
Judge regarded it advisable to procure
military assistance and for that purpose
cnno to Ills city.
AS seen as lie had made known lis bu-
s;ncss to Col. WlLs0N-the comuaudant
of.tAis post, that officer with an alaetity and
dispatch high y commeudable, Immediately
dispatched e detachment Of twenty men
unlcr Lieut.. RIcKEL Of Co. c., to the
scene Of the massacre The party trav-
elei all night and arrived on the ground
at daylight The next morning. Measures
w2"c Immediately taken to discover the
tail OF tae indians, but not until near
evening was this done. That night it
ra'n9d, and the next morulng the discov.
cred trail was entirely otliteraiea. thus
prccluai1s the possibility of successful
pursuit. The Lieutenant remained on the
ground until Tuesday morning. and before
leaving sent detachment of bis command
up the Sioux to notify other trappers Of
wha, had taken place.
Everything in the ne;gAborhood Of the
boat indicated the recent presence Of In.
dians. Most Of the furs had been stolen,
and in the river a broken gun which had
belonged to one Of the murdered men was
found. Lieut.. RscKEL is entitled to great
praise for the perseverance and energy
which he displayed in the conduct IF his
mission. That he done all that could be
done under the crcums tauees, there is no
doubt, and that he would have done more
if practicable, is certain.
This alt,ir has aroused an unpleasant.
feeling OF want Of security which the
immediate presence Of SO strong a militia
ry force had in a great measure alaye1 in
this community, and satisfied the people
that nothing short of the most complete
sui CATION of these savages will ensure to
the white settlers permanent safety.

organized band to defrHud soldier of any
one Of his rights. Has not military court
the right to try those who swindle a sol
dier of mis- bounty, or who deprives him Of
any Of his rights2 It is always crime to
defrsud soldier, and the Government must
take the soldier interest in hand
The Judge Advocate denied that the
charge was against the Statute of New
York. The Statute does not provide for
the adjudication for any one who committed
the crime outside of the state and for
which no Indictment could be obtained,
and consequently a Military court is the
proper one to take cognizsnce of the case,
for the crime charged was one against the
soldier in the field, and consequently
was under the direct charge Of the Milits-
~ authorities. The court was here Gear
ed, and the Commission overuled the plea
to the jurisdiction, and also decided that
they had jurisdiction.
Colonel Foster asked the Court torender
q judgement of guilty. The defendants
could have put in any plea they pleased
they had chosen TO plea to the Jurisdiction
and must abide the consequence.
Mr.. Gillstt considered the demand of the
AuNOLhLG AL CAkI Oubs ne
argued that plea 70 the jurisdiction was
not an unusual thing. If the the defence
had demurred, then the Court could de-
eide that a plea should be entered; nor
will a military court decide that, because a
plea to jurisdiction has not been sustained;
that the accused cannot be confronted with
the witness, but that he shall be condemn
ed without q trial, the Court has simply
decided that the argument against the
jurisdiction was not good. IF the case
were disposed of without hearing would |
it have the effect of pulling down the
crime2
Colonel Foster in reply, said tho point |
in this case is, when a person pleads to the |
Jurisdiction pro taato, he acknowledges the |
facts charged, and it is more matter OF |
favor 10 allow the defence than to plead to /
he merits Of the case. The court denied 1
he motion of Colonel Foster, and the pris.
)ners in turn entered the plea of not guilty. |
Mr.. Mcpherson moved hat the accused |
1e granted separate trials This motion
vas denied. Mr.. Mcpherson then moved
hat the Judge Advocate elect whether he

omphces, as they could not be both
Colonel Foster SAID ne would not amend

be parties as principals or accessories, but
7ould try them on the charges as set forth
q the specification. The charges were

non law, but as such papers are usually
rawn up. -rr
In the proceedings before the Military
IoIrt, Mr.. Gillett argued that it was the
uty of the Court to compel the Judge
