The Concord (New Hampshre) Democratic Standard
publishes the majority platform rejected by the Charles
ton Convention, and remarks


The first and second propositions embrace the mate
rial matters which produced the disruption Of the Con
vention. We desire readers to note particularly
their language, and then to ask themselves they are
not just? Can any honest man among them put his
hand upon his heart and say that the Territorial govern
ments should not be prohibited from destroying the rights
of property of whatever kind they may be, within the
limits and that if they should attempt it the Govern
ment of United States should not prevent and restrain
them? We cannot see how he can do it.


No. there could not be more manifest justice and rea
son in the provisions OF the two first propositions of h
Majority Platform Yet our poor delegates apprehend
ing ngger in the fence, voted against that Platform
and have thus contributed their small mites to the dis
rupton of the Convention and, fear, defeat of the
great Democratic Party of the Union.


We call again upon our readers to note the first two
clauses OF the Platform and what papaby just pro
visions and principles were here repudated by the Doug
las faction, including her delegates Is it not tim
for the Democracy of the State to repudiate such
now-minded and mischievous leaders?

The STEAM SHIP IsABEL.-We learn by q telegraph
c dispatch from Charleston that the steamship Isabel
running between that port and Havana has broken her
shaft and will go to New York for repairs. There will
be intermisson in the service however as the fine
steamship Catawba is prepared to take her place. and
will leave Charleston for Havana on the 9th instant
the regular day of sailing


There is one thing to be commended in this service
and that is the punctuaty with which is performed If
an accident happens to steamer another is always
ready to take its place.


By the way, we understand that tie Postofice Bill
restoring the inland service, will probably come up in
the House on Tuesday. The proposition which was
adopted unanimously by the Committee restoring the
service of the steamer Isabel plying between Charles
via Savannah to Key West, is commended on all sides.
The Senate Committee have adopted it, and the service
will shortly be resumed to the great satisfaction ef not
only the South but nearly the entire North.

We present the following reasons why
BREcKINRIDdE should be. supported for
the Presidency in preference to any other
candidate. We defy malice itself to gain
say single one of them-they are true in
every particular and cannot be doubted or
disputed. The Democracy all over the
country are becoming more and more con-
vinced, every day, that BRECKENRIDGE
is the only candidate in the field worthy
the confidence and support of the party,
and the only one that can save the party
from destruction. All who desire to re-
main Democrats, and all Democrats who
desire to perpetuate the glorious princi-
pies for which they have have so long bat
tied, should earnestly consider the reasons
here presented and no longer hesitate to
join in support of the only reliable Demo-
cratic candidate. The reasons why he
should be supported in preference to any
other candidate are :


Because he is an able statesman, of
sound practical views, and is honest and
faithful to the Constitution, and will con-
form to its letter and spirit in the dis
charge of his duties.


Because, he is not an Offices seeker, and
has not involved himself in the entangle-
ments consequent upon ten years chase
for the Presidency,


Because he is one of those generous
hearted and patriotic Kentukians who vol
unteered at the call of his country, to haz
ard his life in defence Of her right and
honor.


Because in ever position to which he has
been assigned by his country, he has full
filled every duty devolved upon him with
an ability and fidelity unexcelled by any
ef his predecessors.


Because, in his personal intercourse he
deports himself with adignity and grace
BETTING his position, but with mild gen
tleness, indicating benevolence of disposi
tion and and the characteristics of the tru'
gentleman.


Because, the record of his past life il

forget I, too, had to run off some dis
tance to escape the great heat. The whole
/ surface Of the lake was in state of tho
widest commotion. Wave clashed on
wave, and all was confusion. Trcmend-
GUS billows Of fire rolled from every side
of the lake into the centre, and meeting in
feroo conflict around the island in the
centre, broke with fury over its black sides.
Then, after receding again, they rushed to
the onset once more, with increased force,
and meeting together, shot up into the air
perhaps one hundred feet-one vast spiral
body of red liquid lava, which finally
combed over and then fell in graceful spray
back into the lake again.

A correspondent of the Alta Calgforaian
gives the following incidents of a visit to
the volcano, Kilauea, in the Sandwich
Islands, thirty-si1 miles from Hilo. At
ter saying that the crater Of this volcano
is in vast pit in the midst of an immense
plain, having only gradual irse up to the
centre-and that within near quarter ef a
mile is the entrance to great cave, which
he and his guides explored-he says:


Suddenly we came to o high bank, and
looking down we beheld the lake of FIRE
beneath US about seventy-fve feet. This
lake is something more than mile in
circumference. in full view, were
real or liquid FIRE, of a bright red color,
spluttering and splashing like ocean waves |!
A little Island of bard lava stands in tho
middle of the lake, against the black sides
of which the waves of frs dashed with
tremendous fury, and breaking on the
jagged cliffs, they would cast their red
spray high in the air. The sides Of this
lake are solid walls Of FIRE, glowing with
fearful intensity. We were standing on
the windward bank, with strong cold
wind blowing down, yet the heat was SO
intense we coold only look minute at
time, and then turn away to catch the re-
frsshing influence Of the cool breeze. In
addition to the hideous roaring and his
sing Of the lake, was heard, al short in-
tervals, sounds much resembling that Of a
steamer blowing off steam only infinitely
louder, and ominous growing of pent up
forces struggling in subterranean caverns'
at which the very earth seemed to tremble
Occasionally, large masses Of the cooled
lava on the edge Of the lake became de-
tached, and falling into tho boiling caul-
dron, are instantly reduced TO liquid
state.


After a few minutes silence, disturbed
only by IN occasional kissing and muir
muring, was startled by that awe inspir-
ing sound of escaping steam. In an instant
faint glimmering ofred, like sheet OF
lightning, shot out from under the over
hanging brink, where l was standing, and
ran across the lake. This was signal
for change in the whole programme In
mediately the whole lake became OF
bright red color, and four fountains burs


up in different parts of the lake.

The settlers of Maine found, beside its
redfaced owners, other and abundant sour
ces of annoyance and danger. The ma
jestic forests, which then waved where now
is heard the hum of business, and where
now thousand villages stand, were the
homes of inumerable wild and savage ami
mails. Often at night was the farmer
aroused from sleep by the noise without,
which told that bruin was storming the
sheeppen or pig-sty, or was laying violent
paws upon some unlucky calf-and often,
on cold winter evening did they roll q
large log against the door, add with beat.
ing hearts draw closer around the fer, as
the dismal howl of the wolf echoed through
the woods. The wolf was the most feroci-
Gus, blood thirsty but cowardly of all ami
mails, rarely attacking man, unless driven
by severe hunger, and seeking his victim
with the utmost pertinacity. The incident
here related occurred in the early history
of Biddeford.


A resident Of that place, Mr.. II,
was one autumn engaged in telling trees
some distance from the house. His little
son, eight years old; was in the habit,
while his mother was busy with household
cares, of running out into the field and
woods around the house, and often going
where his father was at work. One day
after the frost had robbed the trees of their
foliage, the father left his work sooner than
usual and started home. Just on the edge
of the forest he saw pile of leaves-with-
out stopping to think What had made it, he
cautiously removed the leaves, when what
was his astonishment, to find his own dar-
ling boy lying there sound asleep. Twas
but the work of q moment to take up the
little sleeper, put in his place a small log,
carefully replace the leaves, and conceal
himself among the bushes to watch the re-
suit. After waiting there short time, he
heard VOLTS distant howl quickly follow
ed by another, till the woods seemed alive
with the fearful sounds. The howls came
nearer and in few minutes a large gaunt,
savage looking wolf, leaped into the OPEN
ing, closely followed BY the whole pack.


The leader sprang directly on the pile
ofleaves, and in an instant scatterred them
in every direction. Soon as he saw the
deception, his look of ferceness and conf
dence changed to that of most abject fear.
He shrank back cowed to the ground, and
passively awaited his fate; for the rest,
enraged by the supposed cheat, fell upon
him, tore him to pieces, and devOured him
on the spot. And when they had fin


ished their comrade, they wheeled around


plunged into, the forest, and disappeared, /,
within five minutes of their first appearance


not wolf was to be seen. The excited
father pressed the child to his bosom, and
thanked the kind Providence which led
him there to save his dear boy. The boy
after playing till he was weary, had laid
0 down and fallen asleep, and in that situa
= ton the wolf had found him and covered
| him with leaves, until he could bring hi
b comrades to the feast; but himself hst

/ Numerous appeals have been made 10 me by
pious and patriotic associations and citizens in
view of the present distracted and dangerous con-
dition of our country, 10 recommend that day be
set apart for Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer
throughout the Union.


In compliance with their request and my own
sense of duty, designate Friday, the 4th day of
January 1861, for this purpose, and recommend
THAT tire People assemble an that day aecording to
their several forms of worship, to keep it as a
solemn Fast.


The Union of the States is at the present mo-
ment threatened with alarming and immediate
danger; panic and distress of fearful character
prevail throughout the land our laboring popula-
tion without employment, and consequently
deprived of the means of earning their bread. In
deed, hope seems to have deserted the minds Of
men. All classes are in state of confusion and
dsmay, and the wisest counsels of our best and
purest men are wholly disregarded.


In this the hour of our calamity and peril, to
whom shall we resort for relief but to the God of
our fathers? His omnpotent arm only can save us
from the awful effects of our own crimes and foles
our own ingratitude and guilt towards our Hea-
venly Father.


Let us, then, with deep contrition and peniteut
sorrow, unite in humblng ourselves before the
Most High, in confessing our individual and ma
tonal SINS and in acknowledging the justice of our
punishment. Let US implore Hin to remove from
our hearts that false pride of opinion which would
impel US to persevere in wrong for thesake of con-
sstency, rather than yield a just submission to
the unforeseen exigencies by which We are now
surrounded. Let US with deep reverence beseech
him to restore the friendship and goodwill which
prevailed in former days among the people of the
several States; and, above ALL to us from the
horrors of civil war and "blood- outlines" Let
our fervent PRAYERS ascend to His Throne that he
would not desert in this hour of extreme peril,
but remember as be did our our fathers in the
darkest days of the Revolution, and preserve our
Union, the work of their hands, for ages yet to
come.


An Omnipotent Providence may overrue exist
ing evils for permanent good. He can make the
wrath of man to praise Him, and the remainder of
wrath he can restrain. Let me invoke every in
dividual, in whatever sphere of life he may be
placed to feel personal responsibility to God and
his country for keeping this day holy, and for
trbuting all in his power to remove our actual and
impending calamites.
