OUR PLATFORM.
Believing that modern Locofocoism and
its inseparable ally, political Romanism,
are inimical to the good morals of our peo
ple, and the safety of our institutions, we
declare inveterate and uncompromising ho
stility to both; and we support our declar
ation by maintaipng the following princi
ples :
Ist. 'We will at all times oppose any u
nion or coalition with the Loco Romish par
ty, and every other faction or party, which
advocates ns it does, the spread of human
bondage, over territory now free ; the per.
petuation of the British Twill .of 1846 t
the extention of our national domain by
foreign conquettt ; the free importation of
the effete population of Europe, or the re
vival of the liquor traffic, in our already
rum-cursed Commonwealth.
2d. We demand the restoration of the
MISSOURI COMPROMISE, and the adoption
of a TARIFF to protect American labor and
devclopo American resources ; we contend
for such modification of the naturalization
laws as will keep foreign paupers and
criminals from oar shores, and such am
endments of the federal constitution as will
secure the rule of America to known and
tried citizens of She Republic ; . and we
will, with all the energy we possess, war
against the spirit of conquest, rapine and
plunder commenced under the administra
tion of James K. Polk, and winked at, if
not festered and encouraged by our present
rulers.
Finally. To insure success is the signal
and final overth row of Locofoecism and its
Roman ally, we will advocate the union of
alt their honest enemies—W higs, Ameri
cans, Freesoilers and Republicans, and an
open organization again.t the common en
emy.
The War in the Crimea.
The latest intelligence from Europe is
that anxiety was felt in London and Paris
at tho last dates, in relation to the actual
position of the Russians under Prince
Gortschakoff, and the course that would
be pursued by the Allies. One report
mentions that Gen. Pelisier had refused
an armistice to Prince Gortschakoll; who
asked for one, in order that he might bury
his dead. The French General said that
he would bury the Russian dead himself
and take the same care of the wounded
that he did of his •own. He had also tel
egraphed for instructions, should the Rus
sian's commander offer to capitulate, inas
much as the Russians had provisions for
only fifteen days, and were short amuni
than. The reply was, that ' , the Russians
must surrender at discretion, lay down
their arms, and give up the Allies, all the
fortified places in the Crimea, including
Odessea, with all the munitions of war
contained in them, and without any dam
age being previously done to the towns
and fortifications." But these, it should
be remembered, are only rumors. They
nevertheless foreshadow the disposition of
the s Allies, should they be enabled te ex
act terms.
The number of British officers killed in
the attack upon Sevastopol was 20, wound
ed 114, missing 1. Total 1-11. The
number of men killed was 221 wounded
1599. Total 1817. According to this
calculation the total of men and officers
killed and wounded would be 1958.
The I'arie Moniteur announces that the
trench had about 4500 wounded, of
which number 240 were officers; it was
estimated at about one-third of the wound
ed. The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times says that five generals were
killed, besides ten superior officers.
The Journal.
Now since the election is over, we shall
be able to pay greater attention to the pa.
per than heretofore. it is our intention
by using our every energy, to 'mike the
Journal second to no country paper in the
State. We have more reading matter at
present than any of our cotemporaries in
either this or Blair county. We hope our
friends throughout the county will exercise
themselves a little in increasing the alma
fly wide circulation of the Journal.
The New Liquor Law.
The Liquor Law which was adopted by
the Legislature, last winter, and which
went into operation on the Ist inst., is ve•
ry generally observed. The Act hats been
strictly observed in this borough, and the
sale of Intoxicating spirits ended. We re
joice with a cotemporary, that the law, if
right or wrong, expedient or inexpedient,
be fully carried out; because, like the fu•
gitive slave law in the free States, and the
one dollar law in this State, the non.obser
vane,: of the law would only have still fur
ther added to that contempt for obnoxious
enactments, so dangerous to the maintain
ance of those statuary provisions which
are truly wholesome amt . salutary.
Many people are of the opinion that the
restraining Act will be repealed by the in
coming Legislature. If this be trite or
faire, we are not able to answer ; but we
are perfectly assured that the repeal of the
law was made the question in many coun
ties—Berks for instance—and how far the
scheme has been carried out, and how far
the newly.elected.Legislature has obligat
ed itself to the designs of the Liquor
League, can only be solved by its next sit.
flog. If the law is repealed, we think it
would be a very unwise movement, but
not so bad as the direct disrespect shown
to the will of the majority, by its duct
ment by the Legislature, last winter.
We are not opposed to the law, on the
contrary, we have ever advocated the pas
sage of an act for restraining or abolishing
altogether, the use of intoxicating spirits
as a beverage. We advocated the law,
and urged its adoption, ON CONDITION that
the majority of the people of the Com
monwealth should decide for its enactment
at the ballot-box. The result was not as
we anticipated, for the people rejected a
prohibitory law. This being the case, we
believe the law should not have beets en
acted by the Legislature, in the first place,
as it evinced ou its part a total disregardof
the opinions and desires of the majortty's .
will. But, since it has been adopted, we
deem it but the simple duty of every citi
zen of this Commonwealth, to use his in
fluence for the enforcement of the Act.
Should the next Legislature 'decide on
the repeal, we shall of course have noth
ing more to say.
If in the estimation of n majority of the
people, the present law is productive of
more good than evil, it ought to be sustain- ; , i.nw island has been filiireevered in

In regard to the letters we received from
Petersburg, being forgeries, we pronounce
untrue. We have the letters in our pos.

the principal signer to the Glo letter.
That we permit any one to write for our
paper in an editorial capacity, except our
selves, is certainly incorrect.

That's the Way.
An old lady subscriber in the upper end
of the county, writes us that there is a de
ficiency in the columns of the Journal, be
ing the only obstacle to its attaining a hun
dred thousand circulation. This she says
consists in the scarcity of murders, and
the entire absence of elopements and sed
uction cases. We shall take our corres
pondent's communication into considera
tion, for if a well-digested murder, a ras
cally elopement, or a barbarity of any kind
will have n tendency to rarify the moral at
mosphere or her neighborhood, it would
be highly ceusu rabic in us to withhold it.
The other day a lady took us to task for
our remissness in not supplying recipes for
succotash and fricassed cucumbers, while
in the same mail WO got a letter wanting to
know if we were a "no nothin' " and 'if
we would vote for the fusion,' Mrs. S—,
of • B—, supposing us to be omniscient,
writes us for the best method of cooking a
yeller rabbit which her William Henry had
jus. shot. The letter bears a postscript, like
every other woman's letter, which reads :
"Write quick, or the.critter'll spilo.''
Another correspondent thinks we should
devote a regular column to teaching polite
deportment, as his Welheltnina, the young
lady ho sets up with, is a subscriber, and
she recently told him he was “it hlnmed
fool." The young gentleman looks to us
for a rebuke to his flame." An individu
al who' was taken in by five silk flounces
and pearl colored gaiters, and was done out
of a doubloon, whe'n attending the State
Fair at Ilarrisburg, writes to request us to
advocate the propriety of putting all showy
looking passengers in a baggage train !

DEATit OF A Misna.—The Chicago Press
mentions that a few days ago, a miser named
Andrew Grunderson died in that city from the

should bo called upon to pay the expense. Since
.his death it boo been ascertained that ho had

in the western division of the city. He left no

he was ill, flocked to his bedside and relieved
his sufferings, all they could.

Qt rne editor of the Lancaster Daily says
that the State Pair at Harrisburg is a failure ;
that its friends so consider it; that the grounds
were laid out on a most extensive scale, but
ihat not one third of the stalls had anything in
them ; and that the exhibition of many articles
ofprocluct and manufacture, usually exhibited,
was meagre. It adds :
In tome articles, however, the exhibition was
quite creditible and abundant. In poultry it
has hardly been surpassed, and in rich quilts
and needle•work, it would vie with any before
is. In Agricultural machinery and implements
the exhibition was most gratifying. And in
some of the fruits, pickles, preserves, flowers,
&c., it was ample, creditable and gratifying : —
But as a whple, it was a sad and discouraging
failure, and lutist be so considered by all who
attended it. '

Devon l.ow is f'ITTSBURG.--The Pittsburg ,
Dispatch of T nnsday says: "The Grogshops,
with sumo few exceptions, were closed on Mon

der unexpired 'beer licenses," granted before
the passage of the present law, and three or
four sold brandy and whiskey openly. The di
rectors of the Temperance League haveinstrue
ted their agent to report all breaches of the
law, with the .111,1 of witnesses, to the consta

to return the cases to the court. The• agent
was in possession of evidence sufficient to cop

stun some doubt os to whether the words of the
law "From and atter October lot," would in
elude that day, no prosecutions."
At the spotting of the Court of Quarter Set
sim,s of Allegheny County on Monday Judge
McClure charged the grand jury at length in
the sobeet of this law, in the course of which
Ile said - ,
However much honest men may differ as to
the expediency of a law before it is passed, no
man east refuse to yield obedience when it be-•
comes a law of the land.
There is an immense difference between the
duties of the chi,en and the Court which all
men should hear in mind.
It in the easy and passive duty of the citizen,
and the easy,uutl passive duty of each member
of the Court to obey the law.
Hut the• Court, as a Court, and the men com
prising it, tine bound under the tremendous
sanction of a solemn oath, to administer the
laws of the land, and this is ono of them.
This oath is recorded in the Recorder's office
and no hoaest or fearless magistrate can for
ono moment Comm to remember that it is also
recorded eliewhere in characters• that will en
dure forever.
Thia law shall be administered a ithont fear.
,vithout favor. and without affection.
Mexican Items,
Decidedly the most menacing condition in
the affairs of Mexico, according to the accounts
brought by the Orliaba, on her late trip, is that
to which Harory Tamarix is so prominent a
party Zuarua, on behalf of Vidarri, having re
quired
him to surrender the place, he replied
that he she'd defend it to the furthest extremi
ty. Some doubt was experienced whether Gar
zit had not actually joined him, and the roper
ted convention foreZnaraa found himself nna
able with the troops under hint to force Hero
to stirrender,aed had therefore sent for rein
brcements, which he expected to arrive very
protnptly. in the meantime, the brigade under
Marquez. 2500 strung, is reported to have left
Salamanca for San Lords to join Hero. The
troops in San Louis, however, were reported to
be discontented and deserting ; while new reg•
Mations had been adopted for the exercise of
the powers of the now Council, and 'Tlaxcala
Monticello, San Juan du Guadalupe, in Seled
ad, el Cerro de San Pedro, Rrio Verde,
San
Francisco de los Adatties, of the capitol, and
the brigade of Zuarita had arrived at the Villa
de la Soledud, which, is only a league from it.
The Bolelin Official of San Louis, declared
that Gen. Comon tort had proposed a conference
with Haro. Gen Carrera haring appointed
Sonor Traconis, who had been exiled by Santa
Anne, to supplant Vassmioras as Governor of
Tsinaulippas, the latter refused to make way
for him, and addressed a remonstrance to Gen.
Carrera; but it seas believed that he would go
further and join Hero.
The action of the garrison at Mexico, how
ever, in declaring in favor of the plan of Aynt
la,mits considered a terrible blow fur Hero. I
'The report with respect to a convention be.
twern Hero and Germ is curiously involved.—
It is stated that in the first place Garza obtain
ed Viditurri's consent to it, but that the latter
afterwinds sought to impose inadmissible con.
(Edens in granting it that on being refused, the
outputs of San Luis wore attacked; on which
Haro calling together the Council of State,
obtaining their consent, sent out a force of 1,-
000 men with six field pieces under Gen. Pat ,
rodi. The result is variously stated to have
been the defeat of the attaching forces, their
going over to the San Louis plan, and fecting
of au arrangement.between flare and Conlon.
fort.
During the occurrence of these events, great
rears were expressed for the course affairs were
likely to take. The provisional government
of Carrera was said to lack energy and iniative
power; the liberal party was said to be doplm

got sick. In this di'mnton he was forced to
sell the horse and wagon, which the Judge had
only lent him, in order to raiso means to take
his wife home to Pittsburg. Not long, after
this he obtained a situation in ono of the thea.

saw and recognized him, and in the morning
called at WS lodgings. Don was still Fens
