" The Harmogiou Deumeraeyo Judging from the proceedings of.,te Cin cinnati ConVention, the so-called Dentocratie party is a remarkably hatltt!unioui party.,— Every thin ii seems to have been done unani mously. The Baltimore platform, ork,which Pierce was elected; and the new planks,corn tnitting the Part r still more strongle i to Slave ry:extension, were adopted unanimously.-- The - Candidates we're, nominated by a unani mews vote. Of course4nobody believes that, Of this whole party, extendinetbraugh thirty : . one States., With all their different local inter ests, the opinions of all the members are in such harmony as the 'proceedings atCincinna ti would seem to indicate.- •How, then, was this harmony of action 'and apparent harnio ny of Opiniott; brought about ? . It is evident that seine had to sacriace *their opinionsiror • the ~ h enefit of the party. By referenmto the new resolutions, it is 'easy to discover who made the, sac.riGee of principles. The plat form 'is the embodiment eißorder Ruffianism and Fillibuiterism. But the South had the making, of the platform, it-was nu more than fair that the North should have the ,selection of the Candidate. The northern wing of the party,,was willing, as- usual, tiFi sacrifice prin. ciple for the sake of office, and the South was perfectly willing . to accept theSacrifiels. The bargain was therefore soon Cmpleted. , ran soMething in this way : ' Says the North,.. , "Those violations uf all laws,humantaud di- vine, committed by . Mis:souriins in Kansas, *fit not tO ,be sanctioned—they , are really, very undeMocratic." - " But," responds the South, theyi are "absolutelynecessary for the ac.cornplishment of our detetlinination to plant Slavery in, that Territory,.and. therefore not the Missourilns but 'the Free State settlers must bi cotOemnej by thin Conventions"— " Very welt'," says the North, "only give us the offices, and we will condemn the . Free State men,7-- - --and so the platform," adopted lunanimously, contains . a 6tesolution accusing the'Free State settlers of" treason and armed 1 resistance td law." . • I Again, says the North,-" A very large 'pro. portion °tithe NOrthern Democracy have most emphatically condemned ,the Nebiaska bill, and repeatedly declared that they would. never consent to sanction that act." " That . 1 will never d 0,!.; says the Smith ; " the liNfbras. kalAll waSra great , triumph, a long step to ward the universal spread and nations lization of Siavery,land the North-tn4t submit to it, and it Musti be endorsed by thil , Canvention." And the ,North makes haste to reply, '° Orly give us of4e, and we will endorse the Ne braska bill.t' So it is unanimously resolyed that " the American Democracy ,recognize and adopt the principles contained in the or ' genic laws establishitg the Territories of Kan ;s and lsf i cbraska, :as enibodying the only ' und and safe solution of the Slavery ques. Lion." Again say s the NOttlt, " We haveeyielded eyerythhtgi with regahi to the spread ofSltte ry in the, Territuriin now in our Posseision, but the people of the North ; of all parties, are . 'opposed to the acqu'isition of Cuba, r or Cen tral America, or. more of '‘Mexicofor the forirtation of additional Slave States.r To this the South replies,-" liaye you furget \ the Ostend Conference ? //lave you forgot . what Walkeris doing in Central America ? The, object of these rngvements is to give us? more Slave states. We must have Cuba—we . must ve Ce n tra l : Atherica, and as 'unch •, more S Territory as we can get, before, ,foury ears again mil around. NV hitte‘er the people of the North may wish, the party must be committed in favor of the acquisition. of Cuba. and Central' America, and resolutions to that effect trust„be adopted by--tbis Con- • • •, i 44 - 'SI •• • 1.. l' vention.' , , .oh -- yes, says the No rt h , only give:u .. .offi,ce, and we will . go an for : , annexing_ Cuba with all her slaves; CentritrAtneriek and whatever else you like." ' And iso resOlu -4 tions are ' nanitnouily adopted which , though blindly ressed, evidently pledge - the par r ty to "secure " both.' Central America and Cuba.` . . Again says the North, " Franklin Pierce is very generally despised and repudiated even by a large majority of our own party at the NOrth, and we don't want' to endorse him." "We despise him as much as you can," says the South, '" but he has been , a faithful servant to us, and after 'having sacrificed eve ry thing for, us, we must not refine him ' the empty compliment ol an endors ement,, and besides by endorsing his cou rse' we pre-. 'pare the way for a similar career under, the next administby Convention." Again •n ; therefore he must be endorsed the 1410 North makes haste to yield., and a resolutiO is adopted endorsing - President Pierce. l i Thus thi platform, with, only iSoutheri] side, is completed, and .the North oily asks leave to furnish a doughfacs to stand upon '4. Pennsylvania presents Buchman. "h he sound on the gobse question 1" isk : the Kis bond. Border Bcffiaus. The answer is in the affmnatiVe.

Butler and Wilsoi. - Senator Butler, of South Carolina, closed, on the 12th inst., one of his characteristic, "dignified" speeches in the Senate. 'ln the course of his remarks he insinuated that Sumner was a coward, and said that perhaps it was fortunate that ho was not present when Sumner made hiaspeech. tone thing he had no doubt of, namely, that if he were a young 7 er man he would have left Sumner in a worse condition than he now is. In answering the white-haired ruffian, Sen ator Wilson spoke boldly and decidedly. He reiterated the charge against South Car olina of imbecility in the Revolution; he did he could pttore it-by the correspondence. of gentlemen of South Carolina, askin g ; that _ she might be relieved from bet potion of ii.e the burden of the war because it w news- . sary for men to stay at home to kee thane groes in order ; he characterized But.; r's as sertion that South Carolina poured oUt hogs heads of blood in the Revolution, .where Mas sachusetts only shed gallons, as loose, absurd and ridiculous, and a full justification of Mr. Sumner's assertion that he (Butler) was loose in his assertions; and liable to error; [ he said that. instead of Mr. Sumner's :being the aggressor, Butler was' himself the aggres sor; in shorty he said'eriough to entitle . him to a broken head, according to the min of those who justify Brooks' attack on Senator Sumner. - .I%.le;•Wilson closed by saying that the South did not hold over him the planta tion whip; that he should speak his senti ments freely, and more freely because his colleague had been stricken down for words spoken in debate, and because there are those who claim the right , to question Senators for words spoken in debate. Mr. Butler replied, and in romnienting- on the RevolutiOnary services of South Catalina, asked Mr. Wilson how Tany battles Massa chusetts had fopg bt in evolution. aevolution.. Mr. Wilson replied that they were but few, I::, i cause the enemy considered it Safer to go to South Carolina. MassachusettS had met them at COne‘:?rd, Lexington, Bunker Hill, and on the' eights of Dorchester,. and would have' met :them elsewhere, but - await. erny took good caret() keep out of the State. '''' Butler made no reply. .• , Or it is rumored that Col. Sumneris to be superseded in the command of the United States troops in Kansas, and General Harney is to be appointed-in his place. Gen. Harney is a'slaveholder, of woman-whipping notori ety, and is expected to prove himself more serviceable in expelling, the Free State Men from the Territory 'than • CoL Sumner, who, it is thought, would interfere . to protect them from the attacks of the brigands who have invaded their homes, did his orders permit. Harney hasproved himself inhUman and cruel in the Indian wars in which he has just been engaged, murdering women. and child ren in true barbarian style. Several hundred U. S. 'soldiers have been sent on to Kansas from the East, and-if they are all to be em ployed under the cruel Harnq to dragoon the Free State pc . °plc of Kansas into obedi ence to the Border Ruffian laws, then a ter rible tithe-4 drawing nigh, not only for that Territory but for the whole Union. .311 r. Crittenden has introduced into the U. S. Senate, a propoSitibn to send Gen. Scott to Ktu;Sas to take command of the forms there arsi\preserve peace.

"Listen to what even his political opponents say of him."
