Or, at all events they have found it necessary formally to dopt in their late State Convention at Pittsburg, a ie50lution so framed as to enable them to blind fold and humbug the devotees of Democracy, who have taken a stand on the subject of Free toil. Democratic Platforms will after a while teas plenty as blackberries, forfct every Con- cnfln that is held, whether Stale or National, '.rpfind some new platlorm erected, each dif- frrinfi from that of the former.

Its letter and spirit tney wiji neither weaken nor destroy ; and tney re-de- (are that slavery is a domestic local institu tion of the South, subject :o State law alone, and with which the general government has nolhinf to do. Wherever the Stale law ex tends its jurisdiction, the local institution can continue to exist. Esteeming it a violation of iStiite rights to carry it beyond Slate limits, we deny the power of any citizen to extend than jrea of bondage beyond its present dominion trior ao wo tuiiaiuci ii d jjati ui uie uuinnrumne f the constitution, that slavery should forefer Havel wiin uic uuvanwuig uuiuuui ut uur lerniu i ..i. .1 i : i c , sal progress.

It turns out that these same " printed noti- fes" had been prepared in the Treasury De partment by Mr. Polk's Secretary, Mr. Wal ler, and were delivered there by his orders on lie G.h of February last.

For the benefit of our unmarried friends of both sexes, to whom a right understanding of ihe law may be important, we copy the follow ing from an opinion of Judge Black recently affirmed by the Supreme Court of Pennsylva nia, per Coulter, Justice, Dewey vs. McMillan. 8 Barr, 160 : If a man offers to marry a woman or prom ises to do it, he is not bound to comply with it, unless she agree to accept him. It takes two to make a marriage contract as well as any other bargain. Where a man has a .contract of marriage with a woman, and merely puis it off, and she becomes impatient, she cannot drag him into court and demand damages, un less she has formerly offered to perform the contraction her part, and he dishonestly refu ses and so puts an end 10 the contract, because perchance he would prefer the marriage to the suit, and he ought to have a chance to make & choice."
