This report is Said to be anything but correct. The speeches of lar.icour have been so chang ed and improved in style and sentiment, by his friends, that they cannot bo re ebgaised by those who heard them de nvered, or read them.in print iminctii *tidy afterwards.

Tho Chi: sago oorrespondcut of Forney's Press says of them, that "having expected a cordial endorsement of their high tariff principles, they are dioappointod and indignant at the vague and cold en dorsement they have received." Wir-Tho Gazette says the Democrats afoot much "disgust" with the nomi station of Lincoln. This is a mistake— the "disgtist" is.all on the part of Se ;ward men. They went home from Chicago, by hundreds, "disgusted," mad, and grieved I Ono of them re marked to ns that "old Abe" might be good at splitting "rails," but if ho split all the railings of the friends of Seward before the 4th of March next, ho would have his hands full. And we guess he was right, says an exchange. Nicking in the Traces.—The Cincin nati Commercial (Rep.) is in ill-humor at tbo Chicago nominations, and pro nounces Lincoln " a comparatively ob scure man on the Western prairies," and laments that expediency, with a prospect of success, should have prevail ed over man worship, with a certainty of defeat. 111W•The editor of the Lancaster Er aminer, who was an ardent Cameron man, professes to be jubilant at tho nomination of Ana Lrscowi, but adv isgs lois Republican frionds not to bet on iiVa eiiictioi/ Sensible advice, that.

Our Republican friends--the rank And Slc, we mean—liaro been sorely puzzled to find out v•ho.this main LIN CJLN is, their leaders have nominated for President. For the benefit of all sue h, we quote the foltowing extract from a speech of Senator Duuouts, t‘ lien the two were canvassing Illinois fur the Senatorship two years ago. It is about the best exhibit of the man and his antecedents we have Como across. Mr. Douglas ',laid : " in the remarks which I have made upon this platform, and the position of Mr. Lincoln upon it, I mean nosh ing personal, disrespectful or unkind to that gentleman. 1 have known him for nearly twenty-five years. We had many pants of sympathy when I first got time:tinted with him.

LLaughter.] Ho was more successful 111 his occupation than I. and hence became more fortunate in this world's goods. Mr. Lincoln is ono of those peculiar ruen that hati perform ed with admirable skill in every occu kuttion that he ever attempted. I made as good d school teacher as I could, and when a cabinet maker I made . the best bedsteads and tables, bat my old boss said I succeeded better in bureaus and secretaries than in anything else.— [Laughter.] But I believe that Mr. Lincoln was more successful in his business than I, for his business soon carried him direct ly into the Legislature. There I met him in a little time, and I had a sympa thy with him because of the up bill 'struggle wo had in life. [Cheers and laughter.] lie was then as good at telling an anecdote as now. Ho could beat any of the boys at wrest lingrcould out run them at a foot race, beat them pitching quoits and tossing a copper, and could win more liquor than all the bs put together, [laughter and cheers;and the dignity and impartiality with which ho presid ed at a - horse-race or at a fight were the praise of everybody that was present and participated. [Renewed laughter.] Hence, I had sympathy for him, be cause he was struggling with misfor• tune find so was I. Mr. Lincoln served with me, or I with him, in tho Legisla ture of 1836, when we parted. lle sub sided or submerged for some years, and I lost sight of him. In 1846, when Wilmot raised the Wilmot proviso tor nado, Mr. Lincoln again turned up as a member of Congress from the Sanga mon District. I, beingilin the Senate of the United States, was called to wel come him, then without friend and companion. He then distinguished him self by his opposition to the Mexican war, taking the side of the common enemy, in time of war, against his own courary. [Cheers and groans.] When he returned home from that Congress, ho found that the indignation of the people followed him everywhere, until he . again retired to private life, and was submerged until he was forgotten again by his friends. lie came up again in 1854, in time to make the Abolition Black Republican platform, in company Fith Lovejoy, Giddings, Chase and red. Douglass, for the Republican party to stead upon. Trumbull, too, was one of our cotemporaries." Hon. fli.diard Caul The Washingtoricorrespondent of the. Journal of Commerce, alluding to the an noyance which the friends of Mr. Se ward feel, and the inclination they ex press at the treatment which their ablest man received in the Chicago wig wam, says : " Mr. Seward w ill not, of course, en dorse the treachery of his party, by contributing to its success. Net:cher money nor enthusiasm will bo brought out, in aid of Mr. Lincoln, by Mr. Se ward's friends. 'Had Mr. Seward been nominated the hills of New York would have clapped their hands, and though the contest would have been such as to convulse the State, yet the Seward party would have bad the heart, and courage, and means to mebt . "The Democratic commentary on the nomination of Mr. Lincoln, is, that it takes the North West and gives np New York. All that is necessary for the Democracy to do, at the adjourned National Convention at Baltimore, is to nominate a man for the Piesidency who will be sere of the 127 electoral votes of Democratic States, and b. morally certain, also, of New York. " Probably Pennsylvania can be won also. But the contest must, be for Now York. It would not be diffieul tto frame a nomination for the purpose, and which would secure this end." There is no doubt that New York will bo the battle field in the coming contest, and the Democracy of the Em pire State are prepared fur the fight.-- Give them a man on whom they can rally, whose name will inspireconfi dence, and whose insignificance is not his strength, and they will make an onslaught on the enemy that will ren der victory morally certain. New York is a conservative State, and has a greater stake than any other in the character of the General Government. She e ill not give her sanction to the election of a man whose administration must, at the best, be a dangerous ex peziment. Her commerce and trade are too valuable to be risked upon the election of a sectional President. The Democracy have it iu their power to obtain a most signal victory. They cannot be beaten by Abe Lincoln— strong as he is in the North West.— they may beat thoulsolves.—Erie Ob- SeTIX.T. *Ern ott.

Giddings com mended the nomination of Lincoln on the spot whore it was made. Even Mr. Seward, in the n.itlst of his disappoint ment, writes that he finds in the resolu tions of the Convention a platform as satisfactory as if it had been framed with his own hands. _To show that those men have good ground for confiding in Lincoln's ortho dox Abolitionism we copy below a com prehensive resolution adopted at, the first. Republican State Convention over hold in the State of Illinois. That body convened at Springfield on the sth of October, 1854. It was culled for the especial purpose of organizing a new party and repudiating a e il former attach ments. The Com mittee on Resolutions, appointed by the Convention, was corn posod of Abrahamlineoln, J. F. Farns worth and Ichabod Cadding. The res olutions reported by the committee worn unanimously adopted by the Con vention, and among them was the fol lowing, which wo ask conservative mon of all parties to read and carefully di gest : Resolved, That the times imperative ly 'demand the re-organisation of par ties, and repudiating all previous party attachments, names and predilections, wo unite oursolveejogether in defecse of the liberty and constitution of the country, and will hereafter co-operate as the Republican party, pledged to the accomplish►nont of the followirg pur poses : To bring the administration of government back to the control of first Principles; to restore Nebraska and Kansas to the position of free ter ritories; that as the constitution of the United States vests in the States, and cot in Congress, the power to legislate for the extradition of fugitives from la bor, TO REPEAL AND ENTIRELY A BROGAT E Ttlf: FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW; to restrict slavery to those States in which its exists; TO pitoniniT THE ADMISSION Oh' ANY MORE SLAVE STATES INTO THE UNION ; to abolish slavery in the District of Colum tda ; to exclude slavery from all the terri tories orer tchieh the general government has' exclusive jurisdiction; and to arrest the acquirement of any more territories un less the practice of slarery therein forever shall hare been prohibited. Frightened at a Name. Tho Ilarrizburg Patriot and Union lollys that at their ratification meeting, on Friday night, the Republicans of that place carried a banner on which the names of Lincoln and Hamlin were displayed as the " People's nominees." Tho name of Republican was carefully avoided. Why aro the Opposition ashamed of their true name? Was not the Convention at Chicago a Re publican Convention, and was not Lin coln nominated as the Republican candi date ? his impossible for the Republi cans of Harrisburg ko deny this—and yet they dodge behind an alias—a worn out political deception. Tho same di lora= annoys the Opposition of Phila. delphia,but t hey tutieadopted a differefit mode of extrication. Their ratification meeting was first called in the name of the "People's Party," but, the absurdity of this struck them, eo the next day the call appeared in the North American fur a meeting to ratify the nominations of the "National Convention at Chicago." This was hardly mending.the matter, since Judge Jessup induced the Conven tion to strike the word National out of their appellation as a pplpablo misno mer. Tho absurdity of calling the party anything else but Republican is so palpable, that, in the attempt to avoid it, many ludicrous blunders must, no oesaarily wear. Why not show a lit tle honest courage at once by manfully taking the name of' Republican ? The . President of the Chicago Coma- tion. Mr. George Ashman was . eloquent at Chicago upon the subject of official morality. He animadverted, in un measured terms of reproachful severity, upon the impurities of the Administra tion. If over there was a living exemp lification of the Devil quoting Seriptitro, it was in the instance of Mr. George Ashmun, in the painted sepulchre— yclept the Wigwam—at Chicago. A ootemporary, commenting on his speech, asks : And who is this bold accuser? It is the same George Ashman, who, if we mistake not, testified, sonic two years ago, before a Congressional Investigat ing Committee, that ho had received a little lobby fee of four thousand dollars for his 'free wool' lobby services in be half of the tariff bill of 1057. $4,000 to Nshmun, $5,000 to Weed, and an appli cation from the Choavalier Webb for a furnished house in Washington, to be well stocked with provisions and li quors, by Lawrence, Stone b. Co., in consideration of what Wobb might do as a free wool lobby man, were all parts of the same job. And yet this incor ruptible Ashman, of this precious lobby gang, is the man who publicly denounces tho corruptions of Hr. Buchanan's Ad ministration!" bar II on.

The Democratic Platform. _/ We clip from the Louisville Courier the following very clear and satisfac tory explanation of the quite of the question in relation to a platform, the rogular Clorlevon Convention, at the time of its adjournment to Balti more. It is from the Pen of Bobcrt McKee, li-q , one or the accomplished editors of that paper, and who was ono of the secretaries of the Convention : The exact condition in which the Platform was left by the Charleston Convention seems to he in doubt. An Indiana exchange, perhaps unintention ally, says the majority' report of the Committee on Resolutions was adopted, and the Southern delegates withdrew because the minority report presented by the members of the committee from the slaveholding States, was rejected. And the Lexington Statesman ' a hose editor is usually so well informed, g ives the minority report, including the se cond resolution and the preamble there to, as having been adopted by the Con vention. Three reports were made. That of the majority of the committee, through Mr. Avery, of N. C., their Chairman, affirmed the Cincinnati platform, assail ed the doctrine of protection of slave pcoperty in tho Territories, defined the rights of a Territory in regard to ad mission into the Union and its status when admitted, and contained resolu tions in favor of the acquisition of Cu ba, of the faithful execution of the fugi tive slave law, of protecting naturalized citizens, whether at home or abroad, and of such aid as can bo constitution ally given to the Pacific railroad. Tho minority report,prosented by Mr. Sam uels, of lowa, endorsing-the Cincinnati platform, and taking the same position on other subjects, instead of the resola tions reported by the majority, on the subject of slavery in the Territories, contained the following preamble and rosol ution : That inasmuch as differences of opin ion exist in the Democratic party as to the Hahne and extent of the powers of a Territorial Legislature, and its to thu powers and duties of Congress under the Constitution of the uffiLed States, over the institution of slavery within rho Territories, I:48okt (1, That the Democratic party will abide by the decisions of thu Su preme Court of the United States over the institution of slavery within the Territort`A. , Still another report—the Cincinnati platform "pure and simple"—was made by Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts. The last was presented as a substitute for the minority report, and, as such, was rejected by the Convention, whose vot ing against it thus indicated that they preferred the report for which it was proposed to stAtitituto. Then Qin goes- Lion being on the adoption of the mi nority report as a substitute ter that presented by Mr. Avery, the resolution and preamble above quoted were struck out by a decided vote, being a Douglas defeat. The balance of Samuels' reso lutions were adopted; and thus a direct vote upon the majority report was pre vented ; and the platform, its it now stands, containing nothing positively objectionable, altogether ignores the great questions which now agitate the country. The just (errands of the Southern delegates for\ a recognition of their rights in the Territories, and of the duty of the Federal Government in relation thereto, not having been com plied w ith, a portion of them withdrew from the Convention, and the balance retired for consultation. Thu result of this consultation was that the "Tennes see resolutions," which have heretofore appeared in our columns, with one ex planatory of the two-third rule, were offered by Mr. Howard, of Tennessee, as the "ultimatum" or Kentucky, Ten nessee, and Virginia. The explanatory• resolution was adopted.. The other, in regard to the platform, lid over one day, under the rules. It was not acted upon before the adjournment, and will, unquestionably, be called up at, Balti more, and it, is to be hoped, passed.— The platform, conscquebtly, is not yet perfected. As far as it goes, nothing erroneous or objectiuvable is in it. Thu Tennessee resolution, when udded, wall satisfy the people of the slaveliolding States, and guarantee jugitice to all. The Slavery Territorial . laae4tion. The great •and prolonged debate in the U. S. Senate upon the caucus reso lutions reported by Mr. Davis, of Mis sissippi, was brought to a close by that body on Friday week, when they were finally adopted by votes generally of nearly two to ono, and in the instance of the moat pointed of the whole series —the fifth resolution—there wore but two votes recorded in the negative out of the whole body of Senators. Thus we now have an authoritative semi-offi cial exposition of the Anctrines of the Democratic party on the subject of con gressional and territorial power over the subject of slavery. The resole tiona were adopted seriatim, by the votes sub joined, as follows : 1. _Resolved, That in tho adoption of the Federal Constitution, the States adopting the same acted severally us free and independent sovereignties, delegating a portion of their powers to bo exorcised by the federal government for the increased security of each against dangers, doniestte as well as foreign; and that any interineddling by any ono or more States, or by a combi nation of their citizens, with tho domes tic institutions of the others, on any pretext whatever, political, moral or religious,with a view to their disturbance or subversion,, is in violation of the constitution, insulting to the States so interfered with, endangers their domes tic peace and trunquility--ohjects for which the constitution was formed— and by nocesaary consequence tends to weaken and destroy the Union itself. Vote—yen 36, nays 19--Messrs. Crittenden, or Kentucky, and Kennedy, of Maryland, voting with tho majority, as well as Pearce, of Maryland, and Pugh, or Ohio, (the latter a Douglas Democrat,) also Clingtuan, of North Carolina. 2. Resolved, That negro slavery, as it exists in fifteen States of this Union, composes an important portion of their domestic institutions, inherited from their ancestors, and existing at the adoption of the Constitution, by which it is recognized us constituting an ini pOrtiotelutornt in theapportionment of powers among tho States; and that no change of opinion or feeling on the part of the nou-slovebolding States of the Union, in plation of this institution, can justify them, nr their citizen-, in open or covert attacks thereon,-svith view to its overthrow; and that al; such attacks are in manifest violation of the mutual and solemn pledge to pro- tect and defend each other, given by , the States restwet,vely on entei P 1 1, , ,. into' the censtoutional compact which for med the Union, and aro a manifest breach of faith, and a violation of the most solemn oblifations. Vote—yeas 3b, nays 20—the only' change being the addition of Mr. Trum bull, of Illinois, in the negative. 3. Resolved, That the Union of these States rests on the equality of rights and privileges among its members; and that it is especially the duty of tho Sen ate, which represents the States in their sovereign capacity, to resist all attempts to discriminate either in relation to persons or property in the Territories, which are the common possessions of the United States, so as to give advan tages to the citizens of one State which are not equally assured to those of every other State. Vote—Yeas 36. nays 18—the nega tive being reduced by the absence of the votes of Messrs. Grimes and King. 4. Re.colred, That neither Congress •nor t Werritcrial Legislature, whether by direct legislation or legislation of an indirect and unfriendly character, pos sess power to annul or impair the con stitutional rights of any citizen of the United States to take his shave proper ty into the common Territories, and there hold' and enjoy the same while the territorial condition remains. Vote-35 yeas, 21 nays—the affirma tive Wink reduced one in number by Mr. Pugh giving his vote in the neg:►- tive. 5. Resoived, Ttot if experience should at any time prove`that the judicial and executive authority do not possess means to insure adequate protection to constitutional rights in a Territory; and if tho territorial government should fail or refuse to provide the necessary remedies for that purpose, it will bo the duty at Congress to supply such deaci ency. Mr. Clingman - moved to attend the resolution by adding the following : Prucided, That it is not hereby inten ded to assert at this time that is the duty of Congress to provide a system of laws for the maintenance ufslavery." This, as well np ono or two other amendments, were rejected—but ano ther by Mr. Toombs, to add at the end the words " within the limits of its con stitutional power," was adopted. This fifth resolution as amended was then adopted—yeas 35, nays 2. -The sixth and seventh resolutions were also agreed to, as fOIIOWS : 6. Resolved, That the inhal,itants ofa Tet•ritory of the United States, when they rightfully form a constitution to be militated as a State into the Unian, may then, for the first time, him the people of a State when forming a new constitution, decide for thumselves whe ther slavery, as a domestic institution, shall bo maintained or prohibited with- in their jurisdiction ; and " they shall be received into the Union with or without slavery, as their constitution may prescribe at the time of their ad mission." 7, Rooked, That the provision - of the constitution tho rendition of fugi tives from service or labor, " without the adoption of which did Union could not have been formed," and that the laws of 1793 and 1830, which were enac ted, to secure its execution, and the main features of which being bimilar, bear the impress of nearly seventy years of sanction by the highest judicial authority, should be honestly and faith fully observed and marntaintd by ell w h o en j o y the benefits of our compact of Union ; and that all acts of individu als or of State Legislatures to defeat the purpose or nulity the requirements of that provision, and the laws made in pursuance efit, are i/DSllle in charac ter, subversive of the constitution and revolutionary in theireffect. /lON MI NEW ToSt WI ILL The Consequences of the Defeat of Se. ward alsChicagu ,• There is no disguising the fact that everywhere through° it the Isiorth the Republicans are filled with deep disap pointment at the action of the Chi Ago Convention in rejecting William Se ward, an able statesman—the man who created, and built up the Republieun party. Nowhere is this disappointment, more keenly felt than in the State of NeW York, where a visible gloom hnngo over the whole rank and tile of the !-- publican host, whatever some intertest ed leaders may say to the contrary.— As for Mr. Seward himself, there is every reason to believe that he will re tire from public affairs, utterly disgust ed with at. ungratetul party ; who ow not how to appreciate his merita or its own situation. Had he i/COll defeated by the Democracy, that would be nutle ing, But to be so wounded in the house of his friends is political death. Thur low Weed will probably sell out the I.l7e:zing Journal and retreat into private lift; and many of Sea atsfs personal andQnflueritial friends will mien Lain a sullen reserve and keep aloof from the party, while the general effect upon it will be that the Democrats who joined at the time of FrCILIOIiCei contest will withdraw and return to the Democra cy ; so that in a short time there will be nothing left of the great Republican organization but the old Abolition rump. lireeley and Blair intrigued against Seward, because they could nut bend him to their selfish views. They suc ceeded in overthrowing him; but with him they have overthrown the party, whose head and front he was. The Republican managers, envious of his superiority, and unable to control have of as a sacrifiee ; but they have lost everything and gain e d nothing by the course they have pursu ed. Tnoy have lost les ability, buttes ', manship, and successful prestige iu the Empire State, and lost that euthusiaare which the name of the prophet of the higher law would be sure to inspire among his followers, while they will f a il t o eneciliate the coasorvuusm of the Middle States—the ostensible oh ' ject for which tbey throw him over board. The nbseerity of Lincoln has been calculated upon as an el ement of suecess ; but it is known that ho pro ; ceded Sward in the annoeucemerit of the "irrepressible conflict," and his lan ' geege was even more violent than that I or the 4ocsiroster manifesto.

WAYNESBORO' RAZ,,LROAD.—The Record says that "the prospects for securing the road are more flattering uow than they were two mouths ago." • Ber-t. exchange asks, " are we going to have a Fourth of July?" We hare not the slightest hesitation in answering that we think it will be "around" in due season. In accordance with general sentiment, the unsightly old Market House was, several years ago, removed by order of the Town Council from the Public Diamond. The appearance of the Square was thus much improved. The lo cation of the Court House was also changed, few, if any, of the citizens, desiring it to con tinue in the old place. The Diamond was also Adamixed and the side-willks handsomely paved at a heavy expense, that it might be beautified to a still greater extent. But all this seems to have been done to little purpose —at least so far as care of the Diamond is to'bo expected at the hands of the authorities. In stead of endeavoring to protect It as an orna. meat to the town, they seem to have left it to take care of itself. As a tax-payer, I appeal to them to see to it that no hurt is done to the lip- PearanCe of our beautiful Square, A Crrisaa. niirJudg% Daniel, of the U. B.

A person In Cincinnati, it is is said, has paid $2O fei• a pair! The farmer who owns the fence from which they aro taken makes an excellent thing of it, which is all right. Lot the farce go on ! Let a committee of Black Repub publicans be appointed to ransack Mr. Lincoln's lumber rooms for his old clothes and boots, and then let these precious articles be carefully lakl in a pile and made the shrine of Black Re publicanism. The' devotees of that party would consider it P privilege, no doubt, to kiss Mr. Lincoln's too, mat only a less honor to handle his old boots.

In his reply to the committee, which officially announ ced to him his nomination, ho remark ed that lie wished the nomination "could have fallen upon some ono of the far morn eminent and experienced statesmen whose distinguishet names were before the Convention." Tho friends of Seward, Bates, M'Lean, and others, will tundoubtedly sympathizo with "the most available" in his wish. it Mr. Johns, a delegate at large at the Chicago Convention from lowa, walked 150 miles to roach a railroad, that ho might bo prosoLt at the Coa vent ion.—Erehange. This reminds us of a remark we heard a Seward man make on his return from the Chicago "slaughter-house." Ho said they had nominated "old Abe Lin coin" because, in company with a man named Hanks, ho had once split 3,000 rails in a year—that, he supposed the Convention would have nominated Hanks for the Vice Presidency, if ha . had not unfortunetely.died before rail splitting became a qualification for the 'Presidency—and, ho had no doubt, four years hence, the rotrty would drag out, poor old John Johns, who walked. ono hundred and fifty miles bare foot to attend the Convention, 'and nomi nate "him fur the same high of If splitting 3,000 rails twenty years ago entitles a man to a Presidential nomi nation in 1860, over the head of the first statesman of the age, then walk ing 150 miles bare foot to a Republican Convention ought to be good grounds for a nomination in 1864.

Ho was captured by a band of Canianches *bile. on his way to Califor nia in 1847, thirteen years ago, and has just escaped from them, There were but three of the party captured alive, George Richardson of Schuylkill, and Peter Demy of Dauphin county, Pa., both of whom were afterwards burnt at the stake for attempting to escape from the sava g es. After becoming no quainted with Cho language and habits of the Indians, ho was made a medicine man, and in that capacity did a great ! deal of good among them, preaching to i them, and has succeeded in converting oyor two hundred to the Christian re ligion.

Two Thousand Bushels of Trout at One liauL—The fisheries on the Eas tern Shore of Virginia have been 're markably successful this season, such quantities having been taken that it has been found impossible to preserve them; the consequence is that large quantities have been carted up on the adjacent farms as manure. At ono haul last; week two thousand bushels of trout were pulled up. The seine stopped in six foot water, and it hi. ng impossible to land such an immense quantity, the seine had to be opened that a portion arght escape.
