What's the Matter3

The last Legislature passed an act that all
laws taking effect from the date of their
passage should be published in two papers
in each county,-where there are two. Why
has this not been done' Are the officers
whose business it is to attend to this matter
waiting for the publishers to apply for copies
Of such acts as are to be published that they
may have an opportunity to levy little
blackmail? We shall see.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

Resolved. That in the future, as in the past we
will adhere with unsweTying hdelityto the Union,
under the Constitution, as the only solid founda-
ton of our strength, security and happiness as
people. and ae the frame work Of government
equally conducive to the welfare and prosperity OF
all the States, both Northern and Southern.
Resolved, That this Convention does explc
lily declare, as the sense of the American people,
that after four years Of failure to restore the
Union by the experiment of war, during which,
under the pretense Of the military necessity OF
war power, higher than the Constitution itself
that instrument has been disregarded in every
part. and public liberty and private rights trodden
down, and the material prosperity Of the country
essentially impaired, justice, humanity, and llber
ty, and the public welfare demand that inmed late
efforts be made to bring about a cessation of hos
Utilities, with a view Of an ultimate Convention OF
the States, or other peaceahle means TO end 1t,
that at the earliest practicable moment peace may
be restored on the basis Of the Federal Union Of
the States.
3. Resolved, The direct interference of the
military authorities of the United States in the
recent 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 to be reVolu-
tiouaTy, and resisted with all the means and pow
| er under our control.
| 1. Resolved, That the aim and object of the
Democratic party is to preserve the Federal Mon
and the rights Of the States unmpaired, and they
hereby declare that they consider the Administra-
tiOn's usurDatiOn Of extraordinary and dangerous
powers, not granted by the Constitution the iub
version of the civil by military laws in States not
in instruction; the arbitrary military arrest,
| i'm pri sonment. trial and sentence of American
citizens in States where civil law exists in full
ferce ; the suppression of freedom of speech and
Of the press; the denial Of the right Of asylum
the avOwed disregard of State rights the employ
ment of unusual test oaths. and interference with
and denial Of the right Of the people to bear arms,
| as calculated to prevent the restoration of the
Union, and the perpetuation OF Government de-
irving its just powers from the consent of the
| governed.
| 5. Resolved, That the shameful disregard by
! the Admin stration Of its duty in respect to our
fellow citizens who are and long have been
! prisoners Of war, and in suffering condition,
| deserves the severest rcprobation, on the score
alike of public and common humanity.
! 6. Resolved, That the sympathy of the Demo
cratic party is heartily and earnestly extended to
the soldiers of our army, who now are an have
been in the field, under the flag of their country,
and in the event Of our attaining power, they VIII
receive all the care, protection and regard that
as brave soldiers of the Republic, they have so no.
| bly, earned.

AN AcrIoN OF TIE BEAUTIFUL. Il have
said good deal about prospect and land
scape !; will mention an action or two,
which appears to me to convey as distinct
feeling of the beautiful as any landscape
whatever. A London merchant, while he
was staying in the country with friend,
happenk9 20 mention that he intended the
next year to buy ticket in the lottery,
and his friend asked him to buy one for
him ct the same tine, which Of course
was very willingly agreed to. The con.
vsrsation dropped, the ticket never ar
rived, but in course Of time the country
gentleman received information that the
ticket purchased for him by his friend had
come up a prize of 100000. Upon his
arrival in London, be inquired of his
friend where he had put the ticket, and
why he had not informed him that il had
been purchased.
"I'bought them both the same day,
and flung them into drawer in my bu-
reau, and never thought of them after
wards"
But how do you distinguish one tick.
ct from another? and why am the hold.
or Of the fortunate ticket more than you?"
"Why, at the time put them into the
drawer, | put little mark on the ticket
that resolved should be yours; and upon
re'cpeniug the drawer, found that the
one so marked was the fortunate ticket"
Now, the action appears to have been
beautiful; it is lie beau ideal in morals,
and gives that calm. yet deep emotion Of
pleasure which one so easily receives
from the beauty of the exterior world
