The Bnclmnau Platform. The Cincinnati Gazette, of the platform adopted by (he .Convention in that city, snvs : ■ ». •• That part of it which concedes away Northern rigli's and placed negro serfdom upon a par with God’s greatest boon to the human race, freedom, was received with shouts of applause. It is remarkable how popular human.bondage is with these profes-. sors of liberty—these self-constituted guardi ans of the Union, and of progressive Democ racy. According to the platform, the sole bond of Union, which we now possess, is in permitting without molestation, the extension of an institution which is at wnr with all that civilized and Christian men hold most dear— uomas libektv. Il was not until the resolutions which speak of our foreign policy were reached that the democracy began to divide, and division begon to show itself. In regard lo the na tionality of slavery extension, the democracy of South Carolina and Alabama and Massa chusetts and Ohio, are a unit “ like twin cherries on a stem.” Upon every question in which the North had an interest, the South, or a majority of them, voted nay ; and upon the great question of a road across our con tinent, to unite the Atlantic and Pacific Slates, the South gave a plumper against il, and the resolution was tabled, and lo the poor truckling North, after giving the South all, everything, indeed, that ildcmonded to make strong and permanent the bulwark of human servitude, was domed even’lhe poor boon of passing an abstract resolution in favor of a great national work—the completion of which is go essential to the well being and future prosperity of our international commerce and the real union of the confederacy. And ihen Pennsylvania, as expressed by her delegation, was so delighted with this platform, so curried away with the beauty of its proportions, its cornices ati(J frescoes, its entablatures and its balustrades, that it was wilhqg to take it “ without the dolling of an i, or the mossing of a t,” and when the vote was taken upon the adoption of the slavery extension part of it, which, by the way, in cluded a denunciation of Federalism, of which James Buchanan was, while Federal ism had a local habitation and a name, one of us most faithful representatives, the whole Pennsylvania delegation rose from their scats as if moved by some hidded spring, and gave the vole ave, wishing, doubtless, to show bow docile they were, and how willing (hoy were and their Presidential candidate, lo do the diriy work of their plantation masters. With all honor be it spoken, the Illinois delegation I fused lo do so vile an act. Wo would rather trust a bold mm, though wrong, than an ob sequious, cringing doughface, and thus Doug las and Buchanan appear in the Convention, judging of them by Ihe acts of their repre sentatives.' C O MM UNI CA TION. Strike (or Kansas. Mn. Editor : In a small neighborhood composed of hard working men, located about eight miles from your borough, a meeting was held on Friday Evening June 13, and the se rious aspect of affairs in Kansas was' talked over, and as the persons present were believ ers in the great maxims uttered by our Saviour, that “ men were known bv their fruits”, a resolution was immediately taken, and subscription paper drawn up and the per sons present —seven or eight—subscribed sixty-five dollars, to be placed at the discre tion of three persons, named in the subscip tion, to be used solely to aid persons in going to Kansas, and sustain therS when there, and n determination was expressed to raise enough in this community to send one person. If the people in the other parts of the county would do ns well in proportion to population funds enough to send one hundred men would lie raised in a week. This work can not be done by longwinded speeches,—but if a man really means to do something let him arm himself with the subscription paper, and when his speech is concluded present the paper, and if you patriots in Wellsboro, do not make vour great noise and speeches for huncomb, I pray you a meeting of your own citi zens at once, and show your hand. This county is very much in want of the strength that twenty of our intelligent and respectable young memdoing duty in Kansas, would add to the just cause in which we profess to be earnestly engaged. That town, village or neighborhood, which is so dead to all apprehension of peril to (he cause of freedom as not to speak through their purses, and satisfied with lip service, will never plant a brave settler in that terri tory which we are able to'make the Eden of America. 1 send form of our subscription, Earnestly yours, W, W.

We liko the ticket, thank the Convention for acting sensibly, and pledge Tioga as good for 1000 major ity Tor the ticket. Wo notice that Gov.

Johnston U politically dead and buried; and this silly attempt to resurrect him will only serve to con vince him that good men and true never fellowship with traitors. If iie has a particle of common sense left he will withdraw his name; but we sus pect that he is proud of his bad eminence. Lightning, —During the storm of lost Wednesday afternoon, the house of Mr. James Francis in Del mar, was struck by lightning and seriously damaged. The fluid came down the chimney, shivering the jambs to atoms and throwing them about the room. The ceiling was split in many places, the crockery was broken, two windows were entirely demolished and some 25 panes otherwise broken. Mrs. Fran cis with two little children were in the room where tins sudden wreck was made, and strange to say, escaped without other injury than a severe fright. It is with no common feelings of pride and grati fication that wc raise this week the names of Col. John C. Fremont and William L. Dayton, the Republican candidates for President and Vice Pres ident. The Convention which placed them before the people was eminently the People’s Convention, alive to the great importance of (he interests at slake, and which most be secured by triumph, or suffer defeat in November. It is for the people to decide whether the privileges attempted to bo se cared to posterity by the men of the Revolution shall be appreciated, preserved and enjoyed by this generation, or whether they, shall be wrested from us and trampled under the heel of the Black Power, This is the simple question as we understand it. It is not like the last tiyo Presidential straggles— a vulgar strife for the honors and emoluments of office, but a struggle for the mastery between Free dom and the rights of the many on the one band, and Slavery and the aggrandizement of the few, on the other. Such is the simple statement of the mo mentous question to bo decided at the ballot-box next November. The name of Jons C. Fremont is already a household word in almost every American home. A man of indomitable energy and & strength of purpose never yet subdued, he is the fit standard bearer of a parly which is destined to redeem the declining fortunes of this unhappy land. Young, vigorous, determined, brimming with noble impul ses and entertaining broad and comprehensive views of the destiny of the American people, be is ,lhe man for tho crisis. Mis' energy and sWenglli of purpose have been tried amid the dangerous defiles of the Rocky Mountains, orTtlie arid plains of Ihel Great American Desert and anild the snowy wastes of the Sierra Nevada/and lis patriotism and devo tion to the cause of Freedom was evinced in the ad mission of California into the Union with a free Constitution.

Hit, hostility, to the odious Fugitive Slave Daw cost him.bjs seat in the Senate, and whet better return can be made for that sacrifice than electing him to preside over that body 7 We believe the people will do this in Nov ember. , i, ' ■ While we believe thql David W idiot would have carried a larger vote in Pennsylvania than any oili er man, and believing that the place belonged to him by virtue of his long and unfaltering advocacy of Free Soil, Free Speech and Free Men, still, bis re. fusel to be considered a candidate in the Convention leaves no room for fault-finding. Acquiescence in (he choice of (he Convention is now a pleasant duly, because the claims of individuals sink into com. parative insignificance in view of the principle at stake. The Republican platform is a noble declara tion—a platform as fair, firm and broad as (hat up on which our fathers stood in ’76,deeply imbued with its spirit and its sublime truth. That platform asserts everything for Freedom. We challenge any so-called democrat to point to one plank not trnly democratic. The principles therein enunciated are the principles of Washington, Jefferson and every other patriot of (ho Revolution. Can any man say tho same of the Cincinnati platform, on Which Mr. Buchanan stands and asks for the votes of freemen ? “By Authority.”—No. 8. As, last week we placed the South upon tho wit ness stand to testify against herself, it may be deem ed a sectional proceeding, we will now cite IM Con tinental Congress, in which every colony was repre sented, and thus present notional evidence of the abhorrence in which the system was held in that early day. We quote from same work as in oar last. This Congress sat in Philadelphia, Oct. 30, 1774, and among other things declared, that— “We do, for ourselves and the inhabitants of the several colonies whom we represent, firmly, agree and associate under the sacred lies of Virtue, Honor and Love of our Country, as follows ; “That we will neither import nor purchase any •lave imported after the first day of December next; after which time we will wholly discontinue the slave trade, and will neither be concerned in it our selves, nor will we hire oar vessels, nor sell com modities or manufactures to those who are concern ed in it.—pp. 914.’ That ta tolerably strong language and not easily misunderstood. Here we find that nbn-intercourse, one of the unmistakable signs of National displeas ure, was called in to outlaw the infernal traffic. There was but one mind upon the matter in that Congress. This agreement Was subscribed to by (be entire delegation of osob colony. They farther agreed as follows: “And wo do further agree and resolve that we will have no trade, commerce, dealing*, or inter course whatsoever with any colony or province in North America which shall not accede to, or which shall hcrea .cr violate this Association, but will hold them as unworthy of Uie rights of freemen, and os inimical to the liberties of this country.” If the traffic ia men was deemed inimical tp the liberties of this country then, what must calm, con siderate men think of it now ? But the people of Georgia through the Darien Committee, January 13 1775, testified most decidedly against not only the trade, but against the holding oi slaves, to wit: “To show the world that we are not influenced by any contracted or interested motives, but a gen. eral philanthropy for all mankind, of whatever cli mate, language or complexion, we hereby declare our disapprobation end abhorrence of the unnatural practice of flaxen/ in America, (however the uncul tivated stale of our country, or other specious argu ments may plead for it,) a practice founded are- in justice and eruelty/and highly dangerous ta our lib erties, as well as lives, debasing part of our fellow creatures below brutes and corrupting the virtue and morals of the rest; and is laying the basis o( that wa contend for, and which we pray the Almighty to continne to the latest posterity, upon a very wrong foundation : we therefore resolve at all times to use our utmost endeavors for tho manumission of our slaves ia this colony, upon the most safe and equita ble footing for ihe masters themselves.”—pp 1)36. Owing to (he crowded slate of our columns wo defer further comment until next week. We publish in this number the two platforms— the Fremont and the Buohanan platforms, side by side. Having the greatest confidence in the intelli gence of the masses, we hold that it is only fair and honorable to exhibit the declarations of both candi dates, (for Ihe platforms are, respectively, the decla rations of the candidates,) and leave men the easy (ask of deciding which is for Freedom and which for Slavery. There are the platforms, and Buchan an says that'he “must square Ins Conduct according “lo the principles laid down in that platform.” Our readers are as good judges of principles as any body-full belter Judges than Mr. Buchanan and his lackeys. Thera are the platforms, friends, in publishing which we do what none of our banker contemporaries on 'Change have yet dared to da i.e, lo publish the Cincinnati platform—and every man can read and judge for himself. We commend them to all as the true exponents of the principles each candidate is pledged lo maintain. The consistency of the hunkers ia being, humor ously illustrated by certain politiclant4n-these days.' One declares that Buchanan is a National democrat and opposed to Free Soil; another delares lain to be a Free Soiler and opposed to Slavery extension. Now it would be exceedingly pleasant lo know how much common sense these political trimmers credit the people with possessing. Not enough to flatter the people much, we apprehend. Mr. Buchanan •ays of himself that the repeal of the Missouri re striction was a jnst measure. Free Sailers do not thibk so. Bat the hanker nothing Is to be advoca ted aa a free-soilcr in this region.
