The METHODIST PLATFoRM-The Meth.
odist State Convention of New York, in ses.
sion at Syracuse last week, took ground upon
the leading political and moral questions Of
the time, that if sustained by the affirmative
action of the denomination generally will
produce a profound impression upon politics.
The platform reported by DR.. Peck has all the
vigor and trenchant expression, the earnest
ness and fervor of the early Methodist re-
formers, and rings out declaration of war
against all forms of legal wrong political i'm
morality, sectarian propagandism by the State,
Sabbath dissertation, and the traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors. In regard to appropriations to
sectarian schools, and the maintenance of the
Bible in our public institutions of learning,
the platform is emphatic. 1t is declared to be
the duty OF American citizens to make the
moral element controlling in American poll
tics. In regard to the traffic in intoxicating
liquors, it recognizes the fact that public SEN
timen. is not yet prepared Tor prohibition, and
therefore proposes 10 educate it, and in the
meantime opposes the license system, prefer.
ring TO hold dealers liable for damages.

THE PORTLAND, SAco AND PORTSMOUTH
RAILROAD MATTER.-It will be remembe re d
that from June 1868 to June 1869, the Port.
land, Saco and Portsmouth Railroad Com.
pany received under protest from the East
ern and Bost,n and Maine Railroad compa-
MES, the payments for the lease of their road
In currency, claiming that by the terms OF the
lease the same was payable in coin. In the
latter part of 1869 the matter was mpro-
missed by the payment of $4,000 in full dis
charge of such claim. Application was made
by the Directors of the Portland, Saco and
Portsmouth railroad last summer to the Su.
preme Judicial Court of Maine for directions
as to which class of stockholders the $18O,0OO
paid by the Eastern, and Bost IN and Maiue
railroads belonged. This cours. became ne
cessary, because persons who were stock hold.
ers when the coin dividend became due, and
We're paid III currency, claimed that the mon
ey now accrued, by way of adjustment, was
but the balance of an unpaid dividend 9th
ers who had purchased their shares since the
whole or parts of the dividend were paid in
currency, claimed that the $50, 000 belonged
to the corporation, and was incident to the
shares, and of course belonged to the present
holders of the stock. Chief Justice Apple-
ton has just delivered tho opinion of the
Court, declaring
THAT the sum of $4,000, specified in the
bill, belongs to and is the property OF the Port
land, Saco and Portsmouth Railroad Com
pany, and that it is t. be divided among those

DICKINSON ASD THE PEOPLE.
How he Relieves Them
ONE OF HIS VOTES


The following from the Washington
Correspondent Of the Sandusky Rsg-
ister, shows how Ihueh Dickinson
thinks of the ''dear people, " about
whom his friends harp 50 much:
Your Congressional election Is draw
ing near, and while L conceive il to
be unnecessary to call your attention
20 any more of the very numerous
votes which your present representa-
tive, Mr.. +. +. Dickinson. has re-
corded against your interests and
against the best Interests Of the eOun-
tfy at large, during his term of office
in the EOrty-hrst Congress vet I
can not, rs a faithful correspondent of
a faithful and truthful journal, omit
calling your attention to the closing
scenes and final vote on the report Of
the Conference Committee on the
tax and tariff bill in the House on the
18th Of July last. / have already in
formed you that Mr.. Dickinson voted
against reduction of tariff on many
of the necessaries of life, and against
the free list. / now propose to quote
8 portion of Mr.. Sehenk's statement
in submitting this lastrepOTt, in oiller
TO prove to you that Mr.. Dickinson
we'll knew when he voted nay, that
he was voting to maintain tax bur
den OfS50, 600, 000 or more per annum
on tie peOple OF the United States, a
large portion of which would come
directly from the pockets of farmers,
mechanics and day labOrers. Mr.
Z Sehenck, in submitting the report,
said: 81 do not hesitate to say that
the reduction by this bill, compared
with the receipts Of last year, viii be
! to the peOpl0 OF this country an ale
/ Walton O-fthe burdens OftaXatiOn from
these two quarters, the internal taxes
and impOr; duties, OfOVer $50 O0O, 900. y
Mr.. Dickinson, and fOrty-siX other
4 Democrats, with two self-styled Re
publicaus, voting nay, did not prevent
the passing of the bill, and the con-
seqUent saving to our people of over
eighty millions of dollars, because
there were IA true friends Of the Gov
I ernment and the people amongst
whom were eight DemOerats) who vO-
ted for and passed the bill.
There are but two legitimate con-
clusiOns to be drawn from that trans
action. The first is, that Dickinson
does not desire to reduce the burdens
of the people; or, secondly, that,
knowing that the Republican party
would carry all these important and
necessary reforms into execution at
any rate, and that he, Dickinson,
would vote against them just because
they are Republican measures, so As
/ to keep up an appearance of OppOsi-
ton IL matters very little to which
cause you attribute his opposition to
this and the many other >salutary
measures which he opposed. Either
one makes it abundanuy apparent to
all classes that such a man is unfit to
represent an intelligent and an hon
esty constituency. But the many
wrong votes which ] have pointed
out from time to time, are but a small
portion of the vast number which he
cast daily on collateral and dside issues,
many of them unimpOrtant in and Of
themselves, but as a whole entering
largely into the duties and RESPONSE
bilitieS of a Congressman
