Convention adopted a platform (rcpoitudj
by the minoiity of the Platform Commit
tee) which contain -d no piovi.-lon for 111"
jirit'ctlon of propity in t!i" 'jVi-ritmies, a

be parties ti a transaction which they
deeiiled so unju-l to th"ir constituents, and
so incon-i.-tent with the equal rights to
which they were ciitithrl in the common
domain. Tim seceding delegates proceed
ed to organize tlieinselvcs in a separate
Convention, and adopted the Platform jo-1
ported by the majority of tho Platform
Committee in the Convention proper.
Thus the two Conventions were at logger
heads ; and for a time there .-eeiii'd no
prosp-ct of a reunion. Put the "sober
's'coud thought" brought both parties to a
sense of the mUchivf which might res lit

United States have an equal right to set
tie with their property in tho Territories nl
the United State-, and that under the de
cisions of the supremo Court, which we
recogni.o as u correct exposition of the
Constitution, niither their rights of p.-rjon
or propei ty can bo destroyed or impaired
by Coiigre-sional or Territorial legisla
tion. 'Hiiofrtl, That two-thirds of all the
electoral votes of tho United States shall
be required for tho nominations."
These are what are called the Tennes
see rc-olutions. The bitter of the two was
adopted by the Convention proper, by
' handsome majority which fact gave much
satisfaction to the seceders, as it rendered
i upo'siblc the nomination of Dmglas for
the Presidency. Wc do not find, howev
er, that the Convention adopted the for
mer of these resolutions, neither did they
r-ej i t it. They probably do i,-ed time to
consider th" whole subject, and hoped that
th" seceders would profit by the sime in
dulgence. NVithi r Convention made any
nomiuitiou for the Pie idency, and so
there is re.i.vm to hope for a harmonious
result at the adjourned Conventional Hq.
limnre. Li the meantime, the -'Union"
puty mid the I'opublieulis will hold their
respective Conventions - the former at 15 il
timore on tho 'Jth in-t., and the bitter at
Chieigoun the ldth. When the l 'inn.
er.itic Convention reas-cmblus, therefore,
it will know who arc the nominees oftbe
o'ber to parties, and whether those par
ties, with professions ant.i"onistic.il to each
, other, are to co operate in the rapport of
one and the same candidal'.
On the whole, wo anticipate good rath

Tho Court opened nt 10 o'clock, tho
room being filled. iTho Court ordered tho
pri soncr to bo set nt tho bar. Ho enmo
in loaning on tho arm of tho Sheriff, pnlc
and haggard in nppoarancc. Upon call-
ing his name ho flood up without assist
ance to hear tho Fclilcnco of the Court,
which is as fo'lows :
Jacob S. llnrdcn, I am nbout to pro
eccd to tho dischargo of tho most solemn
duty which a mortal can bo called to per
form. This trial which for tho last two
weeks has been the object of so much in
terest, is rlo'cd. The humane maxim of
the law that you wcro to bo considered in
nocent until you were proven guilty no
longer applies to you. A jury of your
Courts, selected by yourself, ot unpreju
diced, intelligent," conscientious men, after
a full investigation of your case in all its
length and breadth, and after hearing nil
tho arguments of your counsel, pressed up
on them willi untiring energy, with an el
oquence rarely equalled, with a pathos
wliieh drew tears from the stoutest heart,
and with a force and power which could
not have failed to break the chain of the
evidence of your guilt, had it have been of
adinantino strength, have proved that (hero
was no doubt of your guilt, that the evi
dence, could not be true, and you bo guilt
less of the agony and blood of your wife,
that she was foully murdered by you in a
manner too horrible for conception.
With the verdict of that jury, it ii nl
mo't needless to say, this Court is entirely
satisfied. It could have been no other
without a disregard of the iluth-s which
they owe t ) the society of which they are
members, without di-rugardiiig their oaths.
If human te-timony can demonstrate llir
perpetuation of a murd -r, it has demon
strated thatyou are the perpetrator cf this.
Have you anything to say why . sentence of
death should not be pronounced against
you!! If you hac now is th" lime to (.ay
it.
The Court hire jiau-ed for an answer.
The prisoner deliberately raised bis hand
and said : ' I have nothing to say on that
siibj ct. I refer you to my eouiis;l." Mr,
Ship-nan anno in his place and said : "1
have nothing to sav, may it pleac otir
Honor,"
I The Judge r.'sutii'd: '-It rnnaiiis plor
mo to pronounce th - sentence of the Court,
which is hereby by tin1 Court consider-d
l.vid adjudged, tint you Jacob S. Hurd ui,

w heme you have b-en brought find there

noon and H o'clmk in the nfternoo-i, with
