Know Nothing llepubliean editors can a hits lha,rdly find words of suffieient force in which to denounce the Cincinnati De tuneratie Platform, characterizing it is "will and dan gerous," -"aggressive," "degrading," and- so On to end of the chapter; but they are very care ful not to inform their'readers of the ground actually taken in Hail Platform. They are exceedingly solicitous that the high national positions it fig4311111(04 be' kept_ out of public view, and expect to impose upon the credulous end ignorant by simply stigmatizing it as wrong in general and in detail.

Certainly not. It I simply allows citizens of Territories to choose their domestic institutions fur themselves, :as the — peopld of the "old this teen' Stabs" wore allowed to do. and not one iota more. This 18 . Democratic doctrine—and — anything who a does not square with it is not in accordance with the views of. the groat party in whose nt s . 1 s• ' . tinne, if the Union is to last, To .show that our party is no more pro slavery than it is anti-slavery; we might quote - the declarations of the best and wisest men of the nation, but eontent ourself now with giv ing a few extracts front extemporary journals of standing marespectabt ity, and which may be taken as worthy of all confidence,. The Philadelphia Argit.s. says: 441\7 ;1 44m i1 l Demouracy is not pro-slavery.— They slander us, who say MI. They (1010111 injustice to all our ideas, instincts and aspira tions. National Democraey, as the first and fundamental article of its faith, tru.s.t,vlhe peo ple. National Democracy remonibers that the people of New York, Vermont, and Peunsyl vania take good care of themselves. It stead fastly believes that the settlers in Kansas are about us wise, intelligent, and virtuous, as the settlers ir. New York ur Philadelphia, conse quently it is willing to trri,vl the Territorial settlers with the momentous issues of their own destiny. For true Denweracy does not lack faith in our Western borderers ' hut ad mires their enterprise, courage, and simple virtue:. "The question of the Presidential campaign is this : 'Shall the Territories ho regulated 1 a parcel of Congressmen and officials at Wash ington, or shall their destinies be committed to the hearts., heads, and arms of their own people.' A true Democrat cannot hesitate in his answer. A true Doinocrat cannot baulk a moment in adhering to the groat doctrine of popular sovereignty. Popular sovereignty is Liberty and Demoeney. No man - compre hends, or realizes, or feels in his soul the Democratic idea who fears or hesitates to trust thoyooplo- , - - -even the people of Kansas—with their own interests and destinies," Prom an article in the _Cha►:tbersburg Val ley Spirit en the subject we make the follow ing extracts: 'lt is a sanding charge against the Democ racy, that they are in favor of the Extension of Slavery. Opposition editors make this charge daily in heir papers.: opposrition Ora toff) shout it from, the hustings, and oppot tht ignoramuses htilieve it. Sensible-tuon of tell parties know it - to -- I,e - a falsehood, and sensilde and honest men everywhere admit its falsity. No man could assert a greater falsehood than to say that the Deana:racy of the Free States are iii favor of Slavery in any shape or form. It k true that they are op posed W interfering, with Slavery in the States tvhere it exists, because the fltmsfitsition per ' mits it where the people choose to establish it It is also true that they are willing to admit ve States into the Union, should such be formed, because they believe that they have no Constitutional power to prohibit the ad mission of any State which brings to the door of the Union a Republican form of gevern- Meint. BUt they are neither Slavery eaten sionists nor slavery men in any form. They do not desire, hut would r,pytose, the intro duction of Slavery into the Free States, nor do th e y desire its extension to the Territories. They- would .prefer to see Kansas and every other Territory finally admitted as a Free .State,. * * They would not undertake- to keep 'Slavery oat of the Territory by means of Sharp's Rifles, hut when the time came for adopting aConstitution and fixing permanent ly the; institutions of the State, they would vote, it of they t, This would do with the _sttltc t i of the organic net of the Territory— the Kaiiill4 Nebraska I;ol—which leaves the People, the source of Power in this country, "perfectly free," Its they ought to be every where, "to regulate their own domestic insti tutions," * Southerners themselves do not ask Northern men to endorse Slavery, • Theyonly ask them to let it almie, and this is what the Northern Democracy are iu favor of doing." ' Column upon column might be added, but there is no need for it, The position of the Democratic party is surely too well under sttiod by all intelligent and reasonable men to require another word. But we have a Counsel in behalf of this stand-point of our party, against whose :au thority in the premise 4 no one will dare to ut ter a syllable. HENRY CLAY, the 'great pacificator, held the same view until the day or-his death—and has left an enduring, record of his, attachment to the doctrine of "popular sovereignty," in his celebrated report intro ducing the Compromise bills of 1850. He said in that report: • "ft is high time that the wounds which it The Wilmot Proviso has inflicted should be healed up and closed, and that to avoid, in all future tirne, the agitations which must be moduced by the conflict of opinion on the slavery question—existing, as this institution - does, in sonic of the States, and prohibited. as it is, in others—the true principle which ought to regulate the action ofemigr6ss in ileming territorial governments for each newly aequired domain, is to refrain from all legi'slation on the subject in the ter ritory aciluiroll, so long as it retains the terri torial form of - government—leaving it to the people of Such Territory, when they have at tained to a condition which entitles them to admission as a State, to decide for them Selves the question of-the allowance or prohibition of domestic slavery."--(See Congrossioital (;lobs, May 10, ISSO, page 045.) Let it from this time forward be berne in mind, that they who assail- the position of the Democratic party on the question of slai.ery, in like manner assail one of the cherished principles of Ilbins CLAY.

The series of mass meetings now being held in di@erent sethn - is of the State, under the au spice's of the State Central' Conimittetl, give promise of the best - results, iu arousing the people to the importance of the great issues involved in the contest, turd exposing the trea sonable do4igns of the eppusition. ' These meetings have so jar heed attonded by im mense ula:sses of the Democratic citizens, anti town. in no former campaign has a greater degree of zeal been manifested among all classes. On Wednesday week, there was an immense mass meeting at Honesdale, at which address es were delivered b Ex-Governor Bigler, Sen ator Brodhead, Ellis 13. Schnabel, Esq., and - others. Throughout , the Western counties the greatest enthusiasm prevails, and in ma ny series of county meetings are being held, which are telling with force upon the Aboli tion hordes. The great Democratic Mass Meeting at the Tippecanoe Battle Ground, on the 3d inst., is said to have been the largest political gather ing ever convened in the United States. The estimates of numbers present vary from 40,000 to 100,000-persons t. Addresses were deliver ed by lion. John C. Breekitiridge, Oen. Cass, Judge Douglas, John Van Buren, Esq., and other distinguished statesmen and orators., The Democratic torch light procession in New York on Tuesday night was the greatest demonstration of the kind ever witnessed in that city. The procession was five miles long, and it is estimated that from 15,000 to 20,000 -were in the line. It tosok it one hour and for ty minutes to fiass a given point. There were fifty bands of music. The banners, devices, transparencies, inscriptions, mottoes, and cal- Veins were of every kind—patriotic, humor ous, proplietiegl, ridiculous, partizan, spiel,- did and grotesque. In the procession were five full- rigged ships, manner] by_ boys and men, rigged out in regular sailor's dress. The crew of one of the ships consisted of eighty men in the dress of the navy. The streets through which the procession passed was in a blaze of light fur tulles - eittent. Altogeth er it was a'inagniticent and imposing display. CHARGE IT UPON THEM, DEMOCRATS ! Do not let our adversaries drive us into a defensive attitude. We have THE RIGHT with us, and we have the memories of the fast to cheer us, and the Hopes of the Future to spur us on in the good work. We should at tack the enemy in his strongholds. We should track him to his midnight lair. We should strip the robe. of false purity from his recreant limbs. Charge upon them, Democrats, that they have started candidates for President and Vice President, who are to be elected, if at all, by a sectional vote, Charge upon them, that they violate duty and the solemn warning Df Washington, who; in his Farewell Address, admonished his countrymen to beware of sectiOn'al and geo graphical parties. Charge upon them, that the leaders of the Fremont party are hi nearly every instark - c the avowed advocates of a dissolution of the Amer ican Union, , - Charge Upon them, that they assail and tra duce our follow countrymen of the South more than they would assail and traduce the vilest despotism on the globe. Charge upon them, that they selected Fre mont as a candidate, first because he would prove to,be their passive in,trunient in the work of disunion, and next because he is sup posed to have grown enormously rich by his speculations, • Charge upon them, that the British pres's hails the - Fremont nomination and the agita tion that led to it, as certain steps to a disso lution of the Union, 'Charge upon thern,,that not satisfied with Clio overthroW of our civil rights and liberties, they 'have Trrepared mankind for that dread catastrophe by sowing the seeds of disco in in the Christian Church, Charge upon lent, a ey expec o carry this election with money: They nominated Fremont for his wealth. Seward says there is plenty of money to be had to ignore and violate the Constitution, in his speech at Al bany, on the 12th of October ; and Francis P. Blair says; the Missouri Coutpromise will be restored if Fremont, is elected, by buying up the Senators of the United States with the patronage of the General Giwerument. Charge upon them, that they have invoked force to their aidiu the-event of failing to elect Fremont hv a - sectional vote. See Well's. speech at the Black Republican Convention Giddings' threats in Congress ; * the infidel col- . tt nuts of the Hesston Liberator; and the s ermon of the Rev. Henry Wurd Beecher. ' Charge upon 'them, that their loVe for the. black is so intense, that while they would de , t , r tde and - disfranchise a white man because he was born, like Lafayette, in a foreign land, they would elevate Fred Douglas and his school to social and political equality with our follow-conntrvmen, because they are negroes. Charge upon them, that until they invoked the twin fiends ofKnow Nothingism and Aboli tionism, Christian Chureheswere peaceful and pious assemblages, but now too many - are torn with dissensions and presided over by pa priests. Charge upon them, that while blaming Mr. Brooks for his attack upon Sumner, they nev er blame Fremont for his attack upon Foote, in both cases the offence given having been during a debate in the Senate. Charge upon them, that while howling over the disturbances in Kansas, they never con demn the murders in our great cities, by Know Nothing rowdies, of inoffensive and de serving adopted citizens. Charge upon them, that they have reviled the Missouri Compromise for nearly forty years, and now demand that it shall be rester= ed after it has been repealed. Charge upon them, that they have selected a candidate for President who has neither the character, the capacity, the experience nor the integrity, to preside over the affairs-of the (iovernmont. Charge upon them, that in their *war upon the Southern States, they refuse to hesitate, because their schemes must end in a civil and servile war, and laugh at the certain catastro phe of three millions of suddenly liberated Sai• - eslieilig poured doWn - upon the North. Charge upon them, that they denounce and condemn the de2isions of the highest tribunal in the land, and openly traduce the venerable jurists who compose our United States Supreme Court.

After the reading of a letter from Col. Sotnutt W. BLAcx, of Pittsburg, to lion. Jon, B.

Campbell and McConaughy. It must have been rather `tough' for the more intelligent of that party present: to swallow half of what was said.— That assertion, made by the former, in ac counting for the enactment of the Army bill, that 'it was passed by a Democratic Congress,' in the face of the fact, as known to almost ev ery.school boy, that the *House of Represen tatives was decidedly Black Republican, took us 'right down !' We concurred in the remark made in our hearing, that that kind of talk would not kill the Democratic party just yet Such throwing of pebbles never brings down the soaring eagle. Mr. Pumroy, the Know Nothing candidate for Congress, was at the meeting, or within fv few steps of it, and although ayortion of the audience called for him, he didn't requital ! Whether he was afraid to avow his opinions, if he has any, or could not express them to the satisfaction of the managers, we cannot say. But the simple fact that ho did speak on the occasion means one or the other. lie is in the wrong boat. ANOTHER DEATH FROM - BURNING FLUID.--.-We are obliged to add another to the list of Painful and fatal accidents which have resulted from the incautious use of "cain phine" or fluid lamps. On -Friday evening last, about 7 o'clock, Eliza Catharine Jacobs, a young woman employed at King's United States Hotel, went up stairs with a- lighted fluid lamp and one not lighted in her, hands, with the intention of filling the latter. In doing so, it is supposed she carelessly placed the lighted lamp too close to the fluid she was pourin s 'g into the other, for the fluid ignited and set her clothes on' fire., In one instant she was all in a blaze, and. with shrieks of agony ran down . the staircase and out • upon the pavement. 'Here several persons tore the burning clothes from her, at the imminent peril-of-their-own-s.afetyJut-she-was-already so-badly burnt, that nothing could be done-to save here life, arid after lingering in great pain until Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, she died.
