Copperhead Peace Platform.
Adopted at Chicago, August sOth, 1854.

That in the future, as in the past, we
will adhere with answering fidelity to the Union
under the Constitution, as the only solid founda-
tion of our strength, security and happiness
people, and as n framework Of government equal
ly conducive 10 the welfare and prosperity OF all
the 81 ates, boil Northern and Southern.
2. That this Contention does explicitly de-
clare, as he sense of the American people, that

the experiment of war, during which, under the
preteuee of military necessity, a war power
higher than the Constitution, the Constitution it.
self has been disregarded in every part and public
liberty and private right alike trodden down, and
the material prosperity of the country essentially
impaired, justice, humanity, liberty and the
public welfare demand that immediate efforts
be made for a cessation Of hostilitjes, with a view
to an ultimate convention Of the States OF other
peaceable means, to the end that at the earliest
practicable moment, peace may be restored on the
basis of the Federal Union OF States.
3. That the direct interference of the mil
itary authorities of the United States in the re-
cent elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Mis-
souri, and Delaware was shameful violation of the
Constitution, and repetition of such acts in
the approaching election will be held revolution
airy and resisted with all the means and power un-
der our control.
A. That the aim and object Of the Demo-
cratic party Is to preserve the Federal Union and
the rights the States paired and they here
by declare that they consider the Administrative
usurpation of extr sordinary and dangerous powers
not granted by the Constitutions; the subvers;on
of the civil by military law in States not in inst
rection; the arbitrary military arrest, imprson-
ment, trial and sentence of American citizens in
States where civil aw exists in full force; the sup
preston of the freedom Of speech and of the press
the denial of the right OF asylum; the open and
syOwed disregard of state rights; the employment
of unusual oaths and he interference with and
denial of the right of the people TO bear arms in
their defence, calculated to prevent a restOra-
ton Of the Union and the perpetuation OF govern
meut deriving its just powers from the consent of
the governed. - as1.st of
5. That the shameful disregard of the Ad-
ministration to its duty in respect to our fellow
citizens, who now and long have been prisoners of
IN suffering condition, deserves the severest
rsprobation, on the score alike of public policy and
common humanity. 80 $. ID
s. That the sympathy Of the Democratic par
ty is heartily and earnestly extended to the SOL
diery of our army, who now are and have been in
the field under the flag Of their country, and in the
event Of its attaining they will receive all the
care, protection and regard that the brave soldiers
of the Republic have so nobly earned.

GATHERING AND KEEPN FRUIT.-It is be-
coming a well understood principle that pears
are improved by being gathered before fully
ripe. Some should approach nearer maturity
than others. But early apples should be full
ly ripe as general rule, before gathering
Late fall and winter apples should not be
eatable when picked, and all the late winter
varieties should be gathered when too hard
to yield to the pressure of the thumb. and al
ways before heavy fall frosts. A dry time
should be selected, if possible. There will
be few specimens not yet mature, but you
can afford to throw them OF to save the best
and the main crop. When good keeping
variety begins to drop freely from the tree,
as is sometimes the case, secure the balance
of the crop that remains ON the tree as soon
as possible but they should not be mixed
with those on tbs ground--not one should be
saved with those picked. Windfalls will not
keep, for in addition to the injury sustained
by the fall, they become heated BY lying upon
the ground, exposed to the sun and hot air.

rn,ouism IN Tennessee.

The Union men of Tennessee met at Nash

month, and the Nashville papers contained
very interesting accounts of the proceedings
1t was large and important gathering, tho
the WaEELER raid interfered considerably
with the attendance preventing delegates
from East Tennessee from coming. 1t was
enthusiastic and radical in spirit.
The platform adopted favored:
THE calling of convention to amend
the State Constitution.
2--Beeommended the utter, immediate and
unconditional abolition of slavery.
s3-Prescribes the qualifications for electors
for members of the constitutional convention,
all of whom are to subscribe to an oath OF

so stringent that no rebel sympathizer can
take it without perjuring himself.

SCARCITY AT RIcHMoND.-While the Rich
mond papers are pretending that there is an
ample supply of food for the Southern ar
mics, meeting was held at Sumter, South
Carolina, on the 22d ult., at which a military
officer from LEES army stated that the army
must be supplied with corn from South Caro-
lima. A committee of forty-two was appoint
ed to raise supplies, and the following reso-
luton was adopted:
That we have heard with the deepest in
terest and anxiety the appeal of the Secre-
tary of War, Quartermaster-Generala and Ma
jor Darlington, the authorized agent of the
Government, in relation to the want of corn
in the Army of Virginia-a want which must
be supplied by South Carolina alone, the
other States of the Confederacy all having
been drained of supplies.

A SINGULAR CoNTEsT.--Advices from New
Orleans give accounts of free fight which
lately took place on the Rio Grande, in which
the French, the Mexicans, the Texas rebels,
and some of our Union forces were partici-
pants. CoRTINAs, at the head of an army of
Mexican national troops, first encountered,
whipped, and put to flight an army of the
French, who were coming up the river to
capture Matamoras, and then paid his re-
spects to rebel force that had assisted the
French, and whipped them also. The rebels
were subsequently again attacked and routed
by the 9lst Illinois regiment, who had come
up from Brazos TO see what was the matter.
CoRTINAs, after putting to fight both the
French and the rebels, entered Browns
vile, on this side of the river, and took pos
session of it in the name of the United
States. CoRTINAs is said to be still at Fort
Brown, with nineteen guns bearing on Mata-
moras Colonel FoRD's rebel cavalry is en-
camped teu miles up the Rio Grande. The
French had moved out ten miles from Bagdad.
What will grow out of the affair remains to
be seen.
