The Central Press (Republican paper,) thus speaks of Judge Graham : . Court this Week. —Court is in session this Week, his honor, Judge Graham, of Carlisle, S residing. Judge Graham is' a man of deni ed ability, and admirably fitted ,to fill the position ho occupies. His dignified appear ance, and clear decisions apd charges are the subjects of favorable comment on all hands. The Court is wholly employed in disposing of; cases ih which Judge Linn was employed be fore his elevation to the bench. Congress.— s©n Monday lost Mr. Montgo mery of Pennsylvania, presented a'resolution for the final adjournment of Cbngress on the "18th. of. June, which was adopted—yeas 120, nays 55. . : ' , Gen, Cameron. —The friends of this gentle man; must have been sorely disappointed, at Chicago. Even the Pennsylvania Delegates deceived him, d portion of them voting against him from the firsthand it is now a well as certained fact that nearly all of them were se cretly opposing him, and all left him after the first ballot 1 lie has been sold in the house of his pretended friends. The Pennsylvanians, i aftor.betraying Cameron, voted as a uunit for Lincoln, and thus assisted do nominate the I most objectionable man before the Convention. Cameron might, possibly, have carried Penn sylvania, but Lincoln —the man who has open ly advocated negro equality with White men I ■ —will not even make a show in the Old Key stone. Theßepublicans rejected Seward, the founder of their party, and the greatest states man in it, because of his,extreme notions on the subject; of slavery, and they then turned in and nominated a man who has expressed himself in much stronger and more objection able language than over Seward did. Oh, I for the consistency of our opponents 1 KEEP IT. BEFORE THE PEOPLE, that Hamlin, the nominee of the Republicans for Vice President, is, and always has been, an open and decided free-trade man! The Re publicans of Pennsylvania profess great friend ship and *eal for a protective tariff, but they always support free-traders for office. Thus, they nominated “free-trade Wilmoi” for Gov- I ernor in 1858, and now they nominate Ham lin, another free-trader, for Vico President. What miserable hypocrisy. Lot the people of the Old Keystone, who are honestly in favor I of a protective tariff,’ think of these facts, and then,net. Postmaster of New York.' —The President fms appointed John A. Dix Postmaster of New York, in place of Mr. Fowler, and the nomi nation was immediately confirmed by the Se nate without-thq usual preliminary reference. Mr. Dix is a brother of Mies Dix, the celebra ted philanthropist, and is one of the ablest and purest nien of Now York, lie represen ted that State in the United States Senate,. where he, occupied a high and prominent po-, sit ion, and is deservedly respected ftr his abil ity and honored for his integrity. There is no: danger of a defalcation occurring under his ad ministration of the New York Post office. A PmyiNQ Jury —It is stated of the jury wtuch recently brought in a verdict of guilty against Harden, the Jersey parson, for pois omng Ins wife, that after they had gone into their room ft constable was sent for a Bible a. chapter was then read by the foreman—then all kneeled down in prayer. It was then agreed that each one should hand in his verdict, which was done, and the verdict was unani mous as to the guilt of the prisoner. Each one,rose in Iris place and gave his reasons on which ho founded his opinions of the prison er’s guilt.. Then, the jury closed with reading a chapter and prayer. Herr’s Hotel, at Harrisburg, has chang ed hands. Mrs. Ilorr, who lias conducted the house since her husband’s death, retires, and is succeeded by ,Mr. BrenfOrd,’ of, Somerset Bounty, 1 A number of the Southern Senators and Members of Congress have published on Ad dress, inviting tho Seoodcrs from the (Charles ton Convention to attend the Baltimore Con l vcntioil Wo know not what tho Seocdors may do in tho matter, hut wo think it quite probable they will not, as they certainly should not, ask to resume their scats in the National Com vention.. They loft tho Convention voluntari ly—of their own free will and accord—and if they arc tho men wo suppose them to be, they will not return to the Convention, to claim tho seats they so willingly resigned. If the Sou thern people are true to themselves, they will ■ appoint now Delegates tq take the places of those who left tho Convention. The Address of tho Southern Members of Congress advises tho Secodors to return to tho Convention, but intimates to them that they can become disor ganizdrs again and secodo-a second time, if their demands are not acceded to 1. Is not this beautiful advice for Democratic Members of Congress to give to tho refractory Sooeders ? If tOTKi Delegates take them seats in the Bal timore Convention, aS advised to do by tho Ad dress of tho Southern Members of Congress, it Will be with the understanding that they will secede again if they are not .gratified in all their whims! A.Way With tba men who will dare thus to instil t a Convention. What right, WO repeat, have these Seceders to ask to re sume the scats they voluntarily left ? They have, no right. Other men, Who have the wel fare of the country at heart, and who regard disunionists ns traitors, should take the places of those who left tho Convention, And no man is a fit Delegate who will not pledge him-1 self to abide tho decision of tho majority.- We do hope that wise counsels may provail at Baltimore—that moderation and concession may be thp governing motives of all. But; if the disunionists of the South ere determined, by their course, to assist tho disunionists of the North to elect Lincoln to the Presidency, so be it—certainly the North ean bear the in fliction if the South can. Wo hope our Sou thern brethren, therefore, will pause and re flect before they commit the fatal error that will involve them in ruin. They have more at stake than the North, and they, of all others, should favor moderation rather than rebellion. Wo feel convinced that nine-tenths of tho peo ple, of tho South are sincere lovers of their country, who deprecate disunion, and who de sire the success of the Democratic party. Lot them—the sensible conservative men—speak out, and demand to bo represented in thoßal i tirdoro Convention by those who feel an inte -1 rest in the welfare of our common country. 14.

The Poor Know-Nothings. —A Shallow Trick.— The Philadelphia '-Daily News— the Know-Nothing organ—in publishing the milk and-water Platform of the Chicago Conven tion, opiits the fourteenth resolution 1 This is the resolution that knocks Know-Nothingism into a cocked hat. It opposes any change in the naturalization laws, or any State legisla tion imparing the rights of immigrants from foreign lands, and favors full and equal pro tection to the rights of native and naturalized citizens, at homo and abroad. The News is not smart if it expects to deceive the Ame ricans" ih this way. They will soon.discov er, notwithstanding the attempt of their, cor rupt organ to deceive them, that they have boon repudiated, condemned and, sold out to the Black Republicans. The Philadelphia Inquirer, another “ American’’ paper, is nipro honest, arid publishes the Republican Platform in full, and in doing so takes occasion to de nounce this anti-Know-Nothing resolution “ as a fatal blow aimed against the American cle ment of the People’s party in the two States (Pennsylvania and Now Jersey) where the contest mustbo decided,” and winds up by sa}-- ing that “ the moderate portion of the Repub lican party has boon driven to the wall by the fanatics.” - Poor ‘‘Sam!’’ Sambo has triumphed at last, has captured his rival, and condemned him to death. Wo predicted this result; years ago; hut our amiable neighbor of the Ameri can would not believe us, and, with more zeal than prudence,.continued, until lately, to wage war against all those who dared to say that foreigners should have their just rights respec ted. A final farewell to Know-Nothingism the meanest party that ever existed in this or any other country, the Thugs of Franco not excepted, Pcqniescat in pace ! Snubbed.— During the sittings of the late Republican Convention at Chicago, the noto-, rious Dave Wiuiot, of this State, made quite a. lengthy speech, in opposition to the right, of the few Southern Delegates to vote in the | Convention. This created quite a stir among the self-constituted Delegates from Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, &c. Mr. Paeuer, of Ma ryland, replied to “free-trade Dave,” and snubbed the “ People’s Party” of Pennsylva nia, by accusing its members of cowardice in not announcing themselves Eopublicans.- Ile said: J lie ha(\, dared more and risked more than the gentleman from Pennsylvania had ever •■ asked or dared.. He had avowed himself a ■ Republican, while thq People’s party of Penn sylvania wore still afraid to declare themselves thorough Republicans. .[lmmense applause 1 Ho had been jerred by a mob in Baltimore, and on his return homo had boon burnt in ef figy, and hung by the neck by a mob led on by . federal office holders. Ho claimed that if the party hoped to succeed they must organize throughout the Union. He repelled the ac- I cusation that Maryland was the tool of any J Northern State. They wore unpurohosed and unpurehasablo, and they told Pennsylvania to put that in its pipe and smoko it. [immense cheers.] He cared not if Maryland was turn -Icd out of this Convention. [Cries of “ no.” “ no,” “it never shall bo.”j They would still go homo and run an electoral ticket. [Cheers,] Ho felt, from the applause sp kindly bestowed, that he had not appealed in vain to tho fair and honorable sentiments of the people." Wilmot was completely silenced, and'tho Southern Delegates wore allowcd to v voto. In Favor of Union —An old couple, each exceeding sixty years, were married in Trip ton, Indiana, the other day, in a grocery store, by the minister who kept the store, the divine being dressed in his shirt sleeves, just ns ho had come out of a mackeral barrel, ond the lovely bride wore a checked sun-bonnet, a clay pipe emerging from her ruby lips; had on a once colored, but now colorless, calico dress, minus the hoops, gaily bespangled with soot and grease, gray yarn stockings and cowhide brogans, besmeared with Iloosior blacking. J AN ADDRESS TO THE SECEDERS, LINCOLN AND HAMLIN. Abraham Lincoln of Illinois, has received the nomination of the Black Republican Chi cago Convention for President, and Hort. Han nibal Hamlin, of Maine, was nominated for Vico President. Mr. Lincoln belongs to the- extreme school of Republican politicians.' Wo arc not aware that he has ever filled any public position out side of his State. Ho owes his reputation en tirely to the spirited contest he made against Mr. Douglas in 1858, when ns candidates for tho United States Senate they canvassed the State of Illinois together, and lost tho battle. Ho is one of those rough, unpolished western men of naturally vigorous mind, but without tho slightest knowledge of practical states manship. Tho Convention could not have se lected a more radical Republican or a more un safe man. It was a singular freak of the Convention after discarding Seward for his “ irrepressible conflict” ultraisms to select Lincoln. It was jumping out of tho frying pan directly into the fire. While Mr. Lincoln has not tho abil ity, the experience, or tho prestige of Seward, his speeches contain anti-slavery sentiments more radical, because expressed in loss guar ded language. Ilis friends claim for him the honor of originating tho irrepressible conflict .doctrine. During his canvass in Illinois,;ho declared that " this Government cannot perma nently endure half slave and halffree" —a sen timent calculated to alarm every lover of the Union, who hopes to see the compact between Free and Slave States formed by tho Constitu tion maintained inviolate—and an exact coun terpart of the objectionable dogma of Mr. Sew ard, that an irrepressible conflict exists be tween tho Free and Slave States. The nomination of Lincoln plants tho Re publican party distinctly upon the Irrepressi ble Conflict Platform, and will tend to unite all conservatives against him. .. ifhb Platform adopted by the Convention is admitted at Chi cago to be a mass of unmeaning nonsense, which will derive its real interpretation from the character of the nominee. Lincoln, it seems, is that interpretation—and his “views are ns extreme and ultra as any Sowardite dr Abolitioni&t can desire. ■ . Sovereign States Hissed, When the list of States represented at Charleston was concluded, the absent States' were called; and Alabama, Mississippi and , South Carolina wore received wiiJi Jtisses by the assembled multitude. This contemptuous . expression was perfectly in character with the . spirit controlling: the Republican party, and , illustrates the deep sectional hatred animating , its members. They have so long been accus tomed to rail at Southern men that the least allusion to Southern States stirs up the most violent passions that find relief in expressions of disgust and contempt. The very names of f Southern States—sovereign members of this Confederacy—have become nauseating to the sectional Republicans. This spirit would blot them out from the map of the, country, and jdeiiyltihem the rights to which they are enti ti tied'under the common Constitution. Sec tional animosity is one of tho inevitable and natural fruits of a parly holding doctrines in- 1 unreal to ono-lmlf tho States of the Union doctrines which can never become national, and if persisted in,' must intensify sec-] tional feeling, and widen the broach between different portions of tho Union. Men who cannot tolerate the mention of, the names of Southern States would not hesitate to deprive them of their privileges. • A Jojible op Inconsistencies. —The Head ing Oaze/fe, in speaking of the Chicago Plat form, says it was reported by Judge Jessup of Pennsylvania, chairman of the committee, and is considered, by all men of sense an odd jumble of 'inconsistencies, and a blundering effort at reconciling conflicting opinions and interests. After the usual denunciation of the Democratic party, the''rcsolutious proceed to deal in broad generalities that may be-con- strued any way to suit the prejudices of ..the reader. The eighth resolution makes the broad assertion “that our Republican fathers abolished slavery in all our national territo ry,” which is false in fact, and contrary to history. It then declares that it is. the duty of Congress to legislate for the prohibition of slavery in tho Territories, while at the same time it denies tho authority of Congress or of a Territorial Legislature to give legal exis tence to slavery anywhere. The Tariff Reso lution is so thoroughly non-committal and meaningless, that we copy it entire: Twelfth. —That while providing revenue for the support of tho General Government, by duties upon imposts, a sound policy requires such an adjustment of those imposts as to en courage tho developomont of the industrial in terests of tho wholo country, and wo recom mend that policy of national exchange whicli secures to thif working men liberal wages, to agriculture remunerating prices, to mechanics and manufacturers an adequate reward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to‘the nation commercial prosperity and indepen dence, , 1 It will be’ seen that the word “protection” is not once used. The resolution is but an enlargement of the clause of the Constitution giving Congress power “to , provide for the general welfare,” and tho ouband-out free trader may subscribe to it without yielding an inch, for at commits him to no protective policy whatever. This resolution is not at all satis factory to tho Pennsylvanians. Tho Chicago correspondent of Forney’s Press says of them, that, “having expected a cordial endorsement of their high tariff principles, they are disap pointed and indignant at tho vague and cold endorsement they have received.” Alleged Frauds on tub Government. The Now'York Commercial says; “Yesterday Marshal Kynders, in company with his Depu ties, O’Keofo and Calligan, paid a visit to Wall street, for the purpose of arresting a brace of operators who are charged with forg ing claims on the Pension Office, with the in tent to defraud the Government of the United States. The parties implicated in this for [ gory are Solden Brainhard, a broker in Wall street, and Joseph C. Lawrence, an Attorney at Law and a Notary Public. It is supposed that their united operations in the way of forged Land Warrants for soldiers’ and sail ors’ bounty and pension claims, will reach the amount ofgoOO,ooo. Mr. Commissioner Betts ordered them to bo hold to bail in §5OOO each, i!Sr The Clothing Emporium of Granville Stokes, in Philadelphia, is one of the most extensive in that city. We invito attention to his advertisement in another column. I SEWARD'S FRIENDS INDIGNANT. Auburn is the homo of Governor Seward, whore bo was sojourning when tbo nows of bis defeat arrived. A despatch from that ci ty states that "ho boro his defeat with great equanimity, but his friends are indignant an(T outraged.” It further states that the Chicago Convention have “ nominated a man without principles, and adopted a platform without any meaning.”. Tima Low Weed Disgusted. —Mr. Weed, the fearless and indomitable editor of theyli laji;/ Evening Journal, Mr. Seward’s oldest and truest friend, is greatly disgusted at the 'overthrow of his favorite, and threatens to bolt. *■' ' Wade’s Friends Bitter Against Lincoln. —A letter from Chicago, to Forney’s Press, dated May 19, says: “ Wade’s friends are particularly bitter, de claring that had it not been for Chase’s oppo sition, the Ohio delegation would have been a unit fojf Wade, from the start, thus insuring his nomination, ns the general opposition to Seward would,, have rallied to a candidate unanimously'presented by the great strong hold. of Ropdiuioahism in the Northwest much more quickly and with much niorcenthusiasm than they agreed to support a man presented by a State which has only eleven votes in the Electoral College, not one of which was over cast for a .Whig or Republican nominee for President. There is no doubt that the Ohio delegation would gladly have united on Wade —for he had strong and devoted advocates and supporters in almost all of the other delega tions—had it hot been for the opposition of Gov. ..Chase and his friends,, which was the uiore objectionable, inasmuch as it was pure ly selfish,.-Chasg washing to, be a candidate himself in IBfi’iVnnd fearful that Wade’s nom ination at this’\time would destroy his hopes.” Ingratitude or tub Pennsylvania Dele gates.—The same correspondent, writing from Chicago, reveals a secret in regard to the means used by the .Black Republicans of Philadel phia at the late spring election. It says: 1 “It was generally admitted that had Penn ! sylvahia come out hero with a candidate, and steadfastly adhered to him, the nomination yvjpuld have been yielded to her, hut her dele gation was so divided, and there were so ma ny conflicting, interests in it, that it exerted very little influence. There was only one bond of union between the Cameron men, the Curtin men, and the straight-out Anjoribhns, comprising in part the People’s party, and largely represented here in the Young Men’s People’s Party Club of Philadelphia, and that was opposition to ’Seward. The friends of the latter are particularly indignant at this, and charge that it iscold'ingratitudo in return for the material aid furnished by Mr. Seward’s representative man, Thurlow Weed, who, they say, sent Col. M’Cluro, the chairman of the Republican State Central Committee of Penn sylvania,. §5OO, to aid. in carrying the late spring election in Philadelphia. Besides, Pennsylvania might have had the Yico Pres idency, for there wjs a general disposition on the part of the CouvoritiOn.to place John Hick man in nomination- for that office, but when I his name was proposed in a meeting of the delegation, the Cameron men cried “no," “no,” and went for Governor Reeder, to show the' Convention that Hickman was not their choice.” Opposition" to Hamlin on" Account onus Pbee-Trade Record. —The same correspond- i onl thus speaks of Hamlin, tho Black Jtopub-1 iican nominee for Vico President: “His feared that Hamlin’s anti-tariff free trade record, may injure the ticket in Penn sylvania; arid some of the anti-Seward men openly and indignantly declare that tho New xofk delegationjmpsentod him fori this pur pose- Obtain 'sT* that the Pennsylvanians hero are not as'&wlh ' gratified with the plat form as they would have Boon had a decided tariff plank Boon put in it. Mr. Albright, of Pennsylvania, presented to.the Committee on Platform the resolution on the . tariff adopted by tho People’s party of Pennsylvania in their hist State Convention, and askfd.thora to in corporate it in the platform; But this they re fused, preferring a less explicit and less in telligible declaration of principles on this sub ject. What “ tho policy of national exchan ges” clause of the resolution, as adopted, means no one knows. Gov. Reeder says that hois utterly unable to understand it, and that when tho platforni was first road in Conven tion, ho would have asked the chairman of tho committee to explain it, but there was so much noise {pd confusion in the hall that ho could not have mode himself hoard, and there fore allowed it to pass,” The Know-Nothings Whine and Threat en*—The Daily Acres, tho organ of the Know- Nothings of Philadelphia, in speaking of tho Chicago platform, jays: , „ “ , has ’ hoimer, in it what is called a Dutch plank, ’ winch, wo are told, was dic tated.by an assemblage of outsiders, who al so met m jhe city of Chicago. This we es teem to bo simply an insult to tho American element, which constitutes so powerful a por tion of the People’s party in Pennsylvania, and as such wo not only eschew it, but de nounce it ns a proposition unfit to bo put forth’ by .any body of mon professing to act in oppo sition to the Loco Poco party. Tho day has "°t. come when Americans will give up their Shiboloth, and although it may bo es teemed as expedient and prudent to postpone a discussion of these distinctive views, until the groat “black or white»"ehall no determined and disposed of in someway— tho gentlemen who voted in this plank, as well as the crowd which dictated it, may rest assured that tho paramount doctrines of Ame ricanism must and shall be.respected.”. “Marked Dissatisfaction;” —The same paper, in referring .to the Republican nomi- 1 i neos, uses this language: ' , * s d^guiso the fact, however, is not only very great disappoint ment in regard to the candidates presented, but marked dissatisfaction: . x The Japanese Eiibassv.— I The presents brought by the Japanese: Embassy, for the President of the Puitod States were opened on Friday, in Washington, for inspection, and then transferred to the naval commission to bo delivered privately to tho President in the name of his Imperial Majesty, tho Tycoon. ' The articles are of the most magnificent de scription; saddles richly embroidered and bossed with gold and silver; silk bed curtains and bod screens, similar to those used onlybv tho Princes of Japan, and ingeniously elabo rated; two swords, such as are worn by tho Princes of Japan, superior to any ever manu factured either in this country or Franco - pa porhanglng, ornamented with gold; lacquered case, including writing cases, and a lot of valuable miscellaneous articles, all of them exhibiting the most refined taste and advanc ed artistic skill, and superior to any which have boon brought to this country from Asia.

An t°Mn™ S r * ‘ inks t '- mt thn Japanese know a preparing to mtroduco it generally Platform of the Republican Party. The following is tho Platform adopted by tbo Chicago Convention. Tho latter portion of tho second resolution vraa not reported by the committee, but was proposed ns an amend ment by Mr. Qiddings, for tho purpose of covering,the doctrine of negro suffrage. It was first rejected upoh his motion, but was afterwards incorporated into tho Platform upon tho motion of Gen. IV. Curtis, the well known Abolition lecturer. Tho attention of tho .Americans is particularly directed to the fourteenth resolution: Resolved. That we, tho delegated ropreson-.i tatives of tho Republican-Electors of the Uni ted States, in. Convention assembled, in the discharge of tho duty wo owo to our constitu ents and our country, unite in tho following declarations: . First: That tho history if the nation dur ing tho last four years has fully established the propriety and necessity of the organiza tion and perpetuation of the Republican par ty, and that tho causes which called it into existence are permanent in their nature, and now more than ever before demand its peace ful and constitutional triumph. Second; That .the maintenance of tho man ciples promulgated in tho Declaration of Inde pendence, and embodied in tho Federal Con stitution, is essential to tho preservation of our republican institutions, and that the Fed eral Constitution,.tho rights of the States, and tho Union of the States, must and shall bo preserved. That wo solemnly ro-assert the self-evident truths, that all men are endowed by the Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are those of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness ; that governments are instituted among men to secure tho enjoyment of these rights. Third; That to tbo Union of tho States this notion owes its unprecedented increase in po pulation ; its surprising development of mate rial resources; its rapid augmentation, of wealth; its happiness at home and its honor abroad; and we hold in abhorrence all schemes for disunion, come from whatever source they may; and wo congratulate tho country that no Republican, member of Congress has uttered or countenanced a threat of disunion, so often made by members of Congress without rebuke and with applause from their political associates; and wo denounce those throats of disunion, in case of a popular overr throw of their 'ascendency, as 'denying tho vi tal principlos.of a free Government, and as an avowal of contemplated which it is the imperative duty of an indignant people strongly to rebuke and forevemsilonco. 1 Fourth; . That the maintenance inviolate of tho fights of the States, and especially the right of oach-Stato to order and control its own domestic institution's according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balanoc of power on.which.the perfection and endurance, of our political faith depends, and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of any State or Territory, no matter, un der what pretext, as among thegravest, of crimes. Fifth: That-the present Democratic Ad-: ministration .has far exceeded'orir worst ap prehensions in its measureless, subserviency' to the exactions of a sectional interest, ns is especially evident in its. desperate exertions to force tho infamous Lccomptoil Constitution upon the protesting people of Kansas—in I construing tho personal relation between mas-j for and servant to involve an unqualified pro-./ porty in persons—in its-attempted enforce ment everywhere, on land and sea, through tho intervention of. Congress and the Federal Courts, of the extreme pretensions of a purely local interest, and in its general and.uii.vary- ; irig abuse of, tho power intrusted to it by a confiding people.. ■ i Sixth: That tjie people, justly view with alarm the rocklcstrfcxtTavaganco which per vades every department'pf the Federal Gov ernment ; that a return to rigid economy and | accountability is ■ indispensable to arrest the system of plunder of the,public treasury by fayorod partisans; while the recent startling developments of fraud and corruption at the Federal metropolis, show that an entire change of administration is imperatively demanded. Seventh; That the new dogma that the Con stitution of its own force carries Slavery into any or all the Territories of the United States, is_a dangerous political heresy,.at variance with the explicit provisions of that instrument itself, with contemporaneous exposition, and with legislative and judicial precedent, is re volutionary in its tendency and subversive of the peace and harmony of the country. . Eighth; That the normal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of Freedom; that as our republican fathers, when they had abolished Slavery in all our national territory, ordained that no person shall bo de prived of life, liberty,, or property, without duo process of law, it becomes our duty, by legislation, whenever such legislation is ne cessary to maintain this provision of the Con stitution against all attempt to violate it; and we deny the authority of Congress,* of a Ter ritorial Legislature, or of any individuals, to give legal .existence to Slavery in any Terri tory of tho United. States. . Ninth: That wo brand tho recent ro-opon ing of the African slave-trade, under cover of our national flag, aided by perversions of ju dicial power, as a crime against humanity, a burning shame to .our country and ago, and wo call upon Congress to take prompt and efficient measures tor the total and final sup pression of that execrable traffic. Tenth; That in tho recent vetoes by their Federal Governors of the acts of the Legisla tures of Kansas and Nebraska, prohibiting Slavery m tjioso lerritorios, wo find a practi cal illustration of tho boasted Democratic principle of non-intervention and Popular So vereignty, embodied in tho Kansas and No braska bill, and a denunciation of the docop tion and fraud involved therein. 1 Eleventh: That Kansas should of right bo immediately admitted as a Slate under the Constitution recently formed and adopted by' her people, and accepted by tho House of Re presentatives. -fudflh •' Tliat while providing revenue for Jho support of the General Government by du t.es upon nnposts, sound policy requires such an adjustment of those imposts ns to oncou rago the development of theindustrial inter ests of the whole dbuntry, amK;e commend that policy of national exchanges Vhioh se cures to the working men liberal wage's to and mnn r ? r ° ,mmeratin g P™e 9 , tOmeoT.anios H?nL lv-| f f . tUrora , a " a, ‘ ec l uato reward for thoir skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation, commoreml prosperity and indepond- Thirteenth ; _ That wo protest against nnv sale or alienation to others of the public lands Congress of tho completo and satisfactory the House “ r 0 Which has ftlread .>’ P«» 4, Fourteenth: That tho National.llopublicah party is opposed to any change in our Natu of g a i| fa , and effio;ont protection to tho rights for iCtnd I ar|^ P 1' Or,S b >’ Gou S 1 protoSfaw SSiM th f Government to Sixteenth; That „ P l , n o l l | ,ort^ of lts Oitmons.

THE JAPANESE EMBASSY. RECEPTION J)lf THE PRESIDENT, Washington, May 17. . The Japanese Embassy, properly attended by their otliccrs and the Naval Commission, loft Willard’s Hotel about half-past 11 o’clock this morning, on their way to the President’s House. They rode in open carriages, with a force of twenty-five armed policemen in front, and the same number in the rear, while the marines and ordnance men marched on each side of the vehicles, to the music of the Marino Band. . . . , The Chief Prince was arrayed m a rich brocade purple silk sack, with ample over hanging sleeves, and flowing trowsers of the same color. The other two dignitaries wore iu green, of ti’similar texture and fashion. They wore caps like inverted ladies’cabas, fastened on the crown of the head by strings passing under the chin. carried pikes, halberds, and emblems of their rank. The inferior oflieers wore small bats witii a round band and triangular crowns. The prominent points along the route were occupied by anxious spectators, the streets were crowded with the multitudes following to the President’s House. Meanwhile, in the East Room, there had assembled a brilliant company, among whom were the New York Municipal Committee, who came hither to in vito the Japanese to visit that city. Contrary to the programme and expecta tion, there was a “largo attendance of ladies, accompanied by members of Congress and others holding prominent public positions. The Navy officers formed in a lino in the East Room ; prominent among them was Cap tain Tattnall. The Army officers formed ano ther lino; Lieutenant-General Scott was 'prominent, together with his Staff. Between these linos there was an open space about, twenty-five foot wide, which-was to bo the scene of the grand presentation, and the interest .was intense, and the usual stir characterized the preliminary proceedings. The folding doors wore opened at noon, when the President of the United States en tered, accompanied by his cabinet officers, and they took a position oil the.cast Und facing the west. .. i ■ Secretary Cass retired to the ante-room, and returned with the Japanese Commissioners and their attendants, who made several pro found bows as they approached the President .and his Cabinet; . . „ Then one of the Japanese opened a series of paper boxes, one within another, and produc ed several letters which were handed to Vthc President, avid by him to Mr. Cass.

Dupont was prominent in this part of the ceremony. The Cabinet officers were presented in the following order; Messrs. Cobb, Floyd, Touooy Ihompson Holt, and Black, and their rela tive official positions were briefly explained. The Platform as amended.—After tlio Platform of the Chicago Convention had been reported, it was adopted with two amendments. One was the addition of the preamble to the Booln ration of Independence to the second re solution. The other was the striking out of the word “ National” from the fourteenth re solution. In this resolution, the term “ Na tiandl Ilbpublican Party” was used. The proceedings inform us that “Judge Jessup moved to strike out the word ‘National,’ as that was not the name by which the party was properly known.” The motion was car nod, so that the Convention has publicly ac knowledged that the Republican party is what Democrats have always said it was—a section a party, not national, but thoroughly section al in. its composition and aims."
