OUR PLATFORM.
This paper has at all times been conser
vative in its principles, deliberate in its
conclusions, and cautious in its estimates
of public opinion. It bas been from the
beginning an advocate of the interests of
the industrial classes of citizens, and a
steady defender of free labor. In days
that are past, when the "Journal" was con
dueled by one of its ablest and most patri
otic Editors, it was a Whig, Anti-Slavery
publioition, as open in its opposition to the
domination of the slave power, as any of
the Whig papers of Pennsylvania. After
the enactment of the Acts of Congress of
1850, generally kno vn as the "Coinpro•
mise acts," the Journal hoping that those
acts, unjust and unfair as they were to the
people of the free States, would be the ter
mination of the demands of the slave-hol•
dors, and that no further claims would be
made by them upon the people of the free
states, and being desirous at all times to
preserve the peace and harmony of the
people of all the states. the Journal with
drew from the contest concerning slavery,
and for sonic years past has remained neu
tral upon the subject, although it has con
tinually been the bone of contention be
tween the North and the South. We had
hoped that moderation and justice would at
length prevail in the Counoils of our sou
thern brethren, and that there would at
some time be an end to their extravagant
and monstrous demands upon the people
of the free States. The success of one of
the unjust demands of the slave power,
seems only to sharpen its appetite and pro.
yoke its thirst for the achievement of oth
ers, each one being more enormous than
that which preceded it. The destruction
of the Missouri Compromise, founded and
established by Henry Clay, and other
slave-holders in Congress, in 1820, as they
alledged, for the purpose of defending the
free states and territories against the ad
vance of slavery north of 36° 30' of north
latitude, and which was offered as a pledge
and consideration, for the admission of Mis
souri into the Union as a slave state, has
proven that the slave power is bound by no
obligation, and feels no restraint of honor,
if honor bears against the ascendency of
the dominion of slavery. The attempts of
the slave-holders, (backed, upheld and sup
ported by President Pierce and his col
leagues) to force slavery into Kanzas, and
establish it there, in contempt of the Mis
• semi Compromise, which expressly guar
ded this Territory against the encroach
ments and pollutions of slavery, is the first
part of the dishonest destruction of the
'issouri Compromise.
This violation of a national compact, has
already produced lawless and tyranical in
vasion of the Territory of Kanzas ; the
enactment of bloody and attrocious edicts
in the name of Laws, by tho invaders; and
to these pretended Laws, President Pierce
requires the citizens of Kanzas to yield o
bedience under pain of military execution
by the soldiers of the United States Army.
Already have numerous murders been per-
petrated by the invaders upon peaceable
citizens of Kanzas, and no attempt has
been made by the President to bring the
murderers to justice. In view of the pre
lent condition of things, the Whig organi
sation laving ceased in the country, the
"Journal" this week resumes its colors,
The times are perilous. The election

who will strive to restrain slavery within
its present limits south of 30° 30' of north
latitude ; and leave the country north of

free laborers. We intend not to meddle
with slavery within its present limits, but

We much regret to perceive, that one of
the papers of this County, which had hith

The Senate of Pennsylvania has passed bills
creating five new banks, with an aggregate
capital of $1,000,000. It is supposed that the
House will reject them.
Within a few days land warrants have advan

acres, at $1 16 to $1 17.
The Republican State Convention of Rhode
Island has nominated the same State ticket as

The Hampshire Gazette says, that on Sun
day morning the wife of Rev. C. N. Seymour
-of Whately, Mass., gave birth to a son and
daughter, and that a few hours thereafter the
Reverend gentleman edified his congregation
by preaching from the text—suffer little chil,

The General Assembly of Rhode Island ad_
journed last Saturday. Among the bills pass.

The Baltimore Conference of the M. E.
Church is now in session at Baltimore. Among
the things proposed is to raise money in aid of
Methodism in Ireland, the Division of the

will have 26,494 Members, and the latter
32,648.
The mail by the steamship Northern Light
contains full particulars of the Earthquake at
San Francisco, California, and the ninth more
disastrous one of Jeddo, together with impor

The free State legislature of Kansas organi
zed at Topeka on the 4th instant. Governor
Itobison ad tises, in his message, that no resis
tance be made to the alleged intended arrest,
by the Federal authorities, of members of the
Legislature and State officers for treason, un
til no hope be left but in revolution. The Leg
i stature adjourned to Lawrence, where it was
is session on Saturday lust. Governor Shan
on had gone thither to ascertain the condition
of things. Violence was apprehended.
Full returns of the election in New Hamp
shire have not been received, and there can as
yet be no certainty as to the result. Returns
from 186 towns give Wells, Democrat, 28,560;
Metcalf, American, 29 ; 341, Goodwin Whig,
and other scattering votes, 2,293. There are
about forty small towns yet to hear from, which
gave Baker Democrat, 3,142; Metcalf, Ameri
can, 2,660, and 701 scattering votes last year,
The House thus far stands 119 Democrats to
142 opposition members. The towns to be
heard from are estimated to give 30 Democrats
and 22 opposition members. -
John C. Fremont is talked of as the Repub
lican candidate for the Presidency. He is a na
tive of South Carolina, a resident and million
aire of California, a son-in-law of Col. Benton,
and probably the richest man in the world. But
he cannot be made available to the Republicans
and will refuse a nomination by a party for
which he can have no sympathy. His father-in
law would probably accept the nomination if
offered, but he is quite too old. We believe
be is 78 years of age.
By the arrival of the steamship Arabia at
Halifax, we have one week's later intelligence
from Europe. She bring no tiding of the Pa
cific. Fragments of a wrecked steamer are re
ported to have been found in lat. 40 deg. 36
min., long. 49 40 min., but iptelligent persons
at Liverpool thought this could have been the
Pacific. The Peace Congress had held three
sessions in Paris, but the proceedings are not
suffered to transpire, and all sorts of rumors
are prevalent in regard to the prospect of peace
An armistice to the end of March had been an
nounced to the armies in the Crimea. Bread.

The House of Delegates of Virginia last
week having declared, in a preamble, that the
Fugitive Slave Law is a nullity in the Northern
States, an a fair deduction from the assumed
case, they also declare that it is the duty of the
Federal Goverment to make full compensation
to the owner for the loss resulting from the es
cape of slaves into free territory.
The Morning Advertisgr and the Herald, of
London, still use strong language with refer
enee to the United States. They speak of the
preparations of transports for the conveyance
of the troops, not intended for the Crimea, of
block-ships on the West India station, and of
heavily-armed frigates ordered to that station ;
of the fallacy of the Monroe doctrine, which
they declare to be edoffed at in Europe ; and of
our disorganized fleet and undisciplined ar
mies. The Herald recommends firmness on
the part of the British Government, •hick, it
allege., would cause "the loud speaking of the
American Congress" to "subsitio to an humbler
strain."
A frightful steamboat disaster occurred on
the Delaware on Saturday evening. The steam
ferry boat New Jersey, Captain Corson, had
left Walnut street wharf to make her regular
trip to Camden, with about one hundred per.
eons aboard, when she took fire from the en
gine room, and a terrible scene of death and
ruin followed. The boat was burned to the
water's edge. About forty persons are known
to have been saved. Four bodies have been
found, and the names of twentyeight persons
are mentioned as miming, and are thought to
have been either burnt or drowned. This ca
lamity has caused an intense excitement in
this community. The Coroner is investigating
the disaster.
The editor of the Jersey City Telegraph
speaks of having conversed with an engineer,
who went on board the Pacific two or three
days before she left Liverpool on her last trip,
with the intention of taking passage in her,
on examining the machinery, and seeing the
engineer try it, was satisfied that something
was wrong, that he determined not to risk his
life on board the vessel, and came home in the
next Cunard Steamer. He says that it appear
ed to him as though a full head of steam would
have torn the ship to pieces.
It is well known that the Locofoco Adminis
trations always ask for a large appropriation
of money just prior to the Presidential election.
President Pierce has lately solicited three mil

in carrying the next election is not beyond be.

Duffle, recently appointed U. S. Marshal for

sons and papers to investigate all complaints '
against the action of the Naval Board.' The
subject was debated briefly. The three million
appropriation bill was then discussed.
In the House, the Kansas election was do.
hated. Mr. Dunn proposed a resolution, which
was ruled out of order, to send a commission
of three persons to Kansas to investigate into
the condition of affairs in that territory. 20,000
copies of the majority and minority report from
the Committee on the Kansas election case,
were ordered to be printed. Mr. Dunn intro•
duced a hill to enable the States of Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, to

Mr. Crampton has not yet notified the De
partment of State of his answer to Lord Clar.
endou's demand for explanations of Mr. Mar
cy's last letter, though it is understood that lie
has prepared that answer by his sympathising
friends. Mr. Dallas will probably be furnished
with a copy of this along with Lord Clarendon's
reply to Mr. Marcy ; and until it is received or
its import has been communicated to our Min
ister, opinions as to the result must be merely
speculative.
The result of the New Hampshire election
has chilled the political atmosphere in Court
circles very sensibly. The southern breezes
in that direction are now leas balmy than they
were before.
It is announced in diplomatic quarter that
England intends to demand reclamation from
General Walker's new government for injuries
sustained by British subjects in Nicaragua,
under his military rule. Their claim may
rides a nice question ou our side, should it be
resisted.
WASUINGTON, March 14,1866,
