Thc new De1nocratIc PLATFORM.

Since the late war, the Democratic party of the
United States has been ut a loss to unite on
a political platform, which would prove accept
able to all Democrats in all parts of the country.
As a body they have, therefore, to some extent,
become demoralized, though IN several States the
party has remained SO united as to be able to
elect its State officers, and control official patron
age. The Democrats in Massachusetts have
selected as their candidate for Governor, JoHN
QUINCY ADAMS, grandson of the late ex-President
of the same name, who has written a letter,
which promises TO give the Democrats the nucleus
for q new platform. He advises them to accept
the situation of the Southern States as fully re-
stored to the Union, and the enfranchisement of
the negroes as a settled question, no longer to
be discussed. In accordance with his views, the
Democratic Convention of that State has issued
resolutions,
1.-Acquicscing in the condition of the States of
the South, and the Acknowledgement of the negro /;
2.-Denouncing all prohibitory liquor laws ;
and
3.-Advocating the annexation Of Cuba and
Canada.
From this it may be inferred that the annexa-
ton project is to become a plank in the platform
of the party throughout the Union. 1t indicates
simply that this is likely to become a popular
idea with the masses, and if SO both parties will
fall in with it, and adopt it. The freedom with
which the annexation of Canada and Cuba is dis
cussed in England, France, and Canada, shows
how public opinion is changing on questions
which a few years since would not have been
tolerated. La France of Paris says:
" However painful it may be for Spain to accept the sug-
gested solution of the Cuban difficulty, there Is no other plan
possible. 1t is the only way for Spain to save some fragments
of the wreck. The value and duration Of Cuban independence
under the protection Of America is an other question The de-
sire to absorb, which characterizes the Americans, qualities
them very badly to perform the part of a platonic protectorate.
Ii is very probable that behind a compromise they are trying
to bring out a second edition of the history of Texas"
The London Post, in an editorial says:
We entertain a shrewd suspicion that the best thing that
Spain can do is to close with America in respect TO Cuba. She
gains nothing by Cuba in her present state, but loses a sum she
cannot afford. She will not be strong enough to stamp out the
insurrection, but is obliged by a false sentiment of honor to
continue the attempt, which is costly and unavailing. Not
withstanding the denial of the rumored negotiations, we should
not be surprised to hear that the purchase of Cuba has been eff
fected."

A Brief Reply to n Long E2di-
tOrial.

The manager of the Gazette entertains the
2224 readers of that paper, [see report of the
Committee on Printing to the Legislature of
1866, with two columns of senseless twaddle in
reply to our commercial comments of last week.
The style and language too conspicuously point
to the source the article emanated from, and will
satisfy every reader that private and pecuniary
interests controlled the pen which wrote it.
Ii is quite unnecessary for us to reply at any
great length to the two columns aforesaid. We
are perfectly content to wait until our estimates
are verified or disproved by the actual figures,
which time will record. If we have over
estimated the yield of our plantations, we know
one thing that the best judges will have erred
with us.
Regarding our remarks about the cane borer,
we had the facts from persons who were shown
and who saw the borers ON both the estates re-
ierred to; but We must decline to compromise
our friends, by the publication of names, who
might thereby become the object of petty perse-
cution on the part of their superiors. We will
state, however, that, as regards the Waihee
Plantation, parties were prepared to bid and
would have bid, as high as one hundred thousand
dollars for the same, had it not been for the exis-
tence there of these borers. If they have since
been eradicated, none will be more pleased to re-
cord the fact than we.
As regards other portions of the article, we
have no disposition to handy words with the
writer, nor to have the last word to say on the
Our object is solely to utter the truth,
and to promote the interests of the public, as
against those of individuals, who seek to make
the official press a medium for the aggrandize-
mcnt of themselves and their friends at the ex-
pense Of others.

judicial PROGRESS.

The Hazlin Us. Mcdonald case still drags It's
slow length along. Should the Hon. Associate
Justice who has this matter in hand, through
unforeseen circumstances, attain to a lengthy adj
ministration of the duties of his Office, he will
look back to this his maiden experience I'm Ad-
miralty cases, not, we fear. with entire s~atisfac-
ton.
We gave last week the motion OF Stanley
Proctor for respondent, that the writ of attach
mentor rather the so-called - c0piaS 0d Safis-
tacieadrnn by which Mcdonald, respondent,
was remanded to prison, be rescinded, and SAID
respondent set at liberty. We also gave the
eight grounds upon which the motion was made.
On Thursday, the ODD, Associate Justice
Widemann having returned. duly refreshed and
invigorated, from his excursion over the Fan,
the motion as above was heard, and ably argued
by Mr.. Stanley on the eight points mentioned The
plea may be summed up as follows: That the
monition was not according to decree of Court,
the decree of Court being that respondent pay
{. within four days." and the monition being fur
ther qualified by the words inserted, q including
this day. thereby shortening the time to one
day less than the time ordered by decree OF
Court. That the writ arresting the person was
issued one day too soon, it not yet appearing
that respondent was unable to pay within the
specified time. That no writ a~rresting the per-
son could be issued, it being a civil case, till
there had been contempt of decree of Court.
That Admiralty Courts in all cases followed the
local laws and precedents, and that in this King
dom there was no imprisonment for debt.
w. G. Jones, Proctor for libellant, set forth in
reply: that the objections were merely technical;
that four days, strictly reckoning from hour to
hour. had elapsed that respondent had not even
yet paid that in fact no monition was necessary
and that the Courts in Admiralty must have
means to enforce their authority. Full reference
was made to Abbott's Admiralty Reports.
The Court overruled the motion, the prisoner
thereby remaining in confinement.
Whatever may be the absolute justice of the
grounds taken and DEGREES given, it is evident
that the proper forms have not been observed.
1t would seem as if even a youthful judge should
know whether the decree for damages should in
clude the continuance under arrest of the person,
or not also whether the words IS including this
day =" should be inserted-or interlined ?-after
g four days" or not, either in decree or mont
ton. Some people think our remarks on late
Judicial Irregularities unnecessary and severe.
We reply that as good manners are the safe
guards of society, SO are certain legal usages the
safeguards of justice, and for this reason most
carefully to be observed and guarded.
