Our Platform and Principles We do declare to the people of these United States the objects for which we contend in po• litical action, are t Ist. That we demand and shall attempt to se• cure the repeal of all laws which allow the in• troduetion of Slavery into Territories once con• aecrated to freedom ; and will resist by every constitutional means the existence of glavery in any of the Territories of the United States. 2d. We will support by every lawful means our brethren in Karatts in their constitutional and manly resistance to the usurped authority of their lawless invaders, and will cive•the foil weight of our political power in favor of imme• diute admission of Kansas to the Union as a free, sovereign and independent State. 3d. Believing that the present National .1d• ministration has shown itself to ho weak and faithless, and that its continuance in power in identified with the progress of the slave power. to national supremacy, with the exclusion of freedom from its territories and with unceasing civil discord—it is a leading purpose of the “Journal" to oppose and overthrow it. TILE CONVENTION. The Convention of American Repdhli• cans on Saturday, elected 'Yin. E. Mc. Martrie and Wm. Brewster delegates to meet similar ones from Blair and Cambria Counties, to elect delegates to attend the Convention in Philadelphia on the 17th of the present month. To Dodge or not to Dodge. A. W. Benedict was elected a delegate to represent this county in the American State Council, which met at Ilarrisburg last month. When the resolutions of ex- Governor William F. Johnston were offe r ed, he had not the manhood to vote for or against them, but like the man who wish ed to be popular and carry water on both shoulders, he dodged the question. Such men are unfit to represent any organiza tion, any party, or any set of principles.— We hope the Americans of the county will reward him for his Yankee dodge, dodge, dodging. President Pierce, Vir "If Mere is to be armed residenee to the laws of the country, AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF THE fiuUTH, it might us well occur at this time, and in Kansas, as elsewhere." This is said to have been the exceeding. ly sagacious and kind-hearted remark of the President of the United states, upon the receipt of the recent startling intelli gence from Kansas. A dispassionate hear er w Juld have found it very difficult to discover any connection between the ob. serration and the events. What are the incidents reported I. A peaceable citizen (Gov. Robin• son) travelling through the State of the sour', is seized by an irresponsible mob, and detainud wi•hout warrant and against law. 11. An attempt is made to arrest a wit. nese, (Gov. Reeder) while he is in atten dance upon a commission of the !louse of Representstives, and thus to prevent him from giving his testimony before that com mission. HE. A witness who had given las tes- timony is shot, and left as °abolition bait for wolves." And the President of the United States, when he hears about these things, can only talk shout "the const,tutional rights of the South!" Truly we are a people nine times blest in our President—and nine hundred and ninety nine times blest in the prospect of getting rid of him. iperileveral communications are crow 4•4 out for want Of MOIL MUST TIIESE TIIINGS BE I Who after readingan account of the bru tal and cowardly attack of Brooks of S. Carolina, upon that noble statesman and pa triot Charles Sumner, but must blush for the honor of his country, and naturally enquire—must this be so? Must our leg islative hulls be disgraced by ruffian bullys from the kennels of blackgardotn ? No event within our recollection has created a feeling of mingled disgust and rage so intense, so like frenzy, as the assault upon the distinguished senator from Massachu setts by the mad Brooks of South Carolina. As remarks a cotemporary, the provoca tion was so slight—merely a few sharp, fair, polished orutoricul sentences. The scene of the assault so august. The cir cumstances so attrocious in every particu lar. Two men—nay two brutes, armed and prepared, upon one man, unarmed, unprepared and entangled. The character of the senator assailed—incomparably the finest orator alive, an honor to the country he serves, an ornutnent to the Age in which he lives. The insignificance of the vulgar hearted brutes who perpetrated the font deed. The magnihcent person thus violated. All these, and other considera tions, have combined to inflame the people of the Nord) in a degree unexampled, And yet the slave-democracy approves the conduct of these monsters. The De mocracy both North end South applaud the cowardly act. Oh ! Shame ! Shame ! Meat you, will you Northern Democrat. permit the prejudices of party to usurp the better feelings of the heart? Can you sanction the monstrous acts of your lead ers ? For, the leaders of your party in Congress, front doating old Nlr.Cass, down to the murderer Herbert, and the assassin Brooks, all, are prostituting your organize Lion. Butler, who is one of your lenders on the floor of the Senate Chamber, "ap proved of the conduct of Isis galbtht ne phew, and assumed upon himself all the responsibility." Toombs also remarked that the conduct of Mr. Brooks met his approval. But when will this end ? We answer in conclusion, not until the North shall have done away with dogs for Sena tors ; spaniels who lick the hands of their Southern masters, the more they are beat er,. We allude to such ns Douglass, CUSS, Toucey, and slavery propagandists gene, ally, who disgrace the North, dishonor the free soil of their nativity, and make us a reproach to the country. It cheers and warms our heart to mark the conduct of such men as Wade of Ohio, Wilson of Massachusetts, Hale of New Hampshire, and a few others, who dare speak their minds in the Senate of United States, regardless of the Southern nssas• sin's knife. We give the remarks of Mr. Wade. He said in reference to the inhu man attack on Mr. Sumner, after Butler and other Democratic leaders had signified their approval of the bloody act, it was impossible for him to sit still and hear such principles avowed as had been on this oc. casino. As to the facts in reference to the assault, he knew nothing about thorn and had nothing to say on that point. He was there in a pretty lean Minority, not 'sore than one•fifth of the Senate entertaining opinions similar to his; but when he heard it stated upon that floor that an assassin ' like, cowardly attack had been made upon a man unarmed and having no power to defend himself, and that ne had been strick en down and almost murdered, and then heard a Senator avow that he approved such conduct, it becomes a matter of some interest and some importance to rill the members of the body, and the minority es pecially. A brave tnan could not defend himself against such attacks as thin, he might be overpowered by numbers; but overpowered or not, live or die, (said he.) I will vindicate the rights of liberty f debate and the freedom of discussion, so long as I live. if the principle avowed here is to prevail, let us tome armed for the combat. Although you are four to one, I am here to meet you! A mart can die in no better cause than in vindicating the rights of de• bate upon this floor, If these princi, les are to be approved by the majority, and become a part and parcel of the law of Con• gress let it be understood."

ONLY A SERVANT, It must reiNice the heart of the sincere republican. the lover of justice, of equality in the eyes of the late, and of ocher bles• sings attendant upon a republic form of government, to know that the slayer of poor Kerrigan in Washington, will escape I all punishment. It must be particularly grateful to all well bred people, to know that the Dutch Ministor being u gentleman stands staunchly by his order, and refuses to testify, bo that the Honorable Mr. Her. bert cannot be degraded to a level with the ordinary and vulgar felon. Then with what a glow of holiest pride may not the entire people of the United States point to the Seventy• Eight Members of the House of Representatives, who promptly and dolly choked down all investigation into the affair when it was proposed. Glorious Seventy Eight! Guildsmen by birth and instinct every one without doubt—and all resolved to stool by their order. How the American exults when he reflects that there is now helping to make laws for him at Washington a man whose hands are yet dripping with the blood of a fellow crea ture; and whose practice is always to wear a pistol in order to be promptly able to puni3h a want of respect for his person with clesth. ......... But a Imirable as all this••-just source of pride as it is to the citizens of the coup• try, and peculiarly impAhsive as it must appear to foreigners, the Honorable Mr. (which answers risen abbreviation for slur. deter !) Herbert finds himself exposed to various annoyances, from .vhich a gentle man should be entirely free, particularly when they are encountered in maintaining the deference due to his order. These annoyances consist in arrests, temporary detEntions, examinations before coroners, and being held to bail. True, these are trifling affairs, and in Mr. Ilerberc's case they have amounted to nothing-.and the same will probably be the fact in other in • stances, But as we said before, no gentle man should be suhjected to them. What we have to propose to prevent them is some what as fellows : Let there be fixed in the City of Washington a scale of prices at which homicide of various degrees of guilt and regulated according, to the position of the party killed, roar be perpetrated. The time has been when the murder of a peas• ant c , st but asfew marks, and other men in proportion. Ah ! ! gentlemen have) list had their rights since that period. This plan being established it will be perceived that much benefit would result both to so ciety and to individuals. In the first place it would encourage murder. The present plan does this to a certain extent, but not so effectually. Secondly, it would relieve the community of considerable expense and even put money in the treasury, a fact by no means indifferent to the city of Wash ing,ton. Thirdly, it would promote the and comfort of that superior class of beings, ' , gentlemen by birth and instinct." When a gentleman felt unwell in the morning after a champagne supper on 'he evening previous; if his coffee were muddy or if his steak were overdone ; if the waiter looked as if he were not mindful of the fact that he was waiting upon a gentleman, the'. latter might quietly shoot or stab him, walk to the magistrate's office, pay his fine, and go hew again in pevce and comfort Ile might do the same under other circum• stances to mechanics and farmers. and in font to all people except those in his own rank. I'm• we have milk in America. It is only when one gentleman kills another that it is worth while ascertaining whether it be murder or nut ! JV:de—The common impression that the widows and orphans of those who are not gentlemen, suffer as acutely as the widows and orphans of those who are, is a mistake. Their sufferings in losing a father. hus• hand, or brother, are comparatively trifling! The murdered Kerrigan leaves a w;duw and two children—but what of that. lle was only a servant. The Times.

"The old man has lost tulle of his meanness, and the boy still loves his lying." That's Adin Benedict's christianity. In regard to the first, we deny seeking admission into the American Order.

Mr. Sumner has relapsed and is dangerous. ly ill, bruin fever having set in. Visitors. are denied admission to him. His physicianshave held a consultation. A rumor is telegraphed from Washington that Brooks, of South Carolina has challenged Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, and that the latter tins accepted the challenge. We have Inter intelligence from Suit Lake to the effect that the people of Utah had held a Convention, and a committee had reported a Constitution for the "State of Deseret." Indignation Meetings in regard to the out. rage in Washington, are being held all over Massachusetts. Men of all parties participate in them, 'and tho State seems to be thoroughly aroused.

The President will send n message to Congress on the subject. An anti-Fillmore Americas State Conven tion assembled in Albany, N. Y., on Thurs. day. The Convention that nominated Fill more and Do nelson was denounced as prostitu• ted to slavery. Strong anti-slavery resolations were adapted, and delegates elected to the Na. tional Convention to meet in New York on the 120 of June. A hailstorm of great severity visited Johns town, N.

Some of the hail. stones were like frozen balls of snow, while others were pieces of pure transparent ice as large as butternuts.. In the village about thir• ty thousand patios of glass were broken. Shin gles and bricks were blown off, and the trees were nearly stripped of their foliage. The execution of Peter Mattocks, convicted of the murder of Elizabeth Gilbert, took place within the walls of the county prison of Phila. delphin, on Friday morning last. The Daily Times publishes on extended account of the scene at the scaffold, from which we leant that he denied the commission of the crime to the last. From 1300 to 2000 persons were within the wall the time of the execution, and some 5000 on the outside anxiously expecting to be admitted. We have further news from Kansas.

In the U. S. Senate, yesterday, Mr. Pearce, Chairman of Committee appointed to laves• tigate the circumstances of the recent assault , upon Mr. Sumner, submitted n report to the effect that, although the assault was a viola• tion of the privileges of the Senate, that body had no jurisdiction in tho ease, and could do nothing more than make a complaint to the House. The resolution attached to the report, providing for submitting this formal complaint was adopted ; Mr. Toombs alone voting "no." 'the President's veto message in regard to the improvement of the mouth of the Mississippi river, was considered up to hour of the adjourn. meat. Some additional news from Kansas has been received by the way of St. Louis. It is stated that after the burning of the Herald of Free. dom office, at Lawrence, Sheriff Jones dismiss ed his posse, and the men immediately corn. mowed plundering the stores. All the houses of free State men were pillaged, and a large amount of property destroyed. Buford, String. fellow and Atchison were conspicuous on the occasion. Gov. Shannon has called upon the U.
