If "that "is to be the platform of tho old line doughfaces, at their next convention, let us hare itIt will require but A slight modification of their present platform -much less thai was nade' in the platfona of last year in constructing this, and it is in tbe same line of progression.--It only requires progressing a littie ? farthet the same way. Didn't Know it 7oald Hurt io." Once upon a time, about twenty jews ago, Dr. ITaymoalhad a "very bad spell" of. fever ff-We remember, as one of the incidents of that event, that ho had a very' sora .raouth, thro' tho kindcess of his attendins physician. ! This ha did not " rtlisk much, though he was assured it ' was all for his good that it was madö sore."'. One, who had formerly , been his 5 patient, called to sea the Doctor, and minister to his wants. " In answer to the inqui ry about his health the Doctor said: "I'm getting along pretty, well, bat 0 my mouth's so sore J ", . " Yoq'll know how to pity other folks hereafter, when you salivate them, was the cool re ply. 0,1 never made any body's mouth this sore'eaid the doctor, ''Yes you : have, and i sorer too" Insisted his friend. Well' said the Doctor, "I never knew it hurt this way, or I wouldn't have done it.' 'I'll never do it again, that's certain.' s, . 4. , Whether tha Doctor has been more careful since, or not, we cannot tell, but we are reminded of his "logic by the course of our friend and competitor Judge Johnston-, The Judge, has always been a strong advocate for rotation in office. -Ho was for 'ousting dr, John when he had hud the Clerk's ofSce only seven years, hut the people, having no constitutional prohibition, elected him sgaln, andhe served four teen years. ! To prevent the like again"; the Judge, four years ago, advocated A constitutional .restriction, of. eight years, and voted for it. Hut now when reminded of how be has fixed others, ho seems to say, "Their casa is not so bad as mine." Hut .being , reminded that the seven years or eight , years that ho has prescribed for others is shorter than the ELEVEN years he has enjoyed, he seems to say. "Well, I didn't know it would hurt so, 'or' I never would havo done it. I'll never doso'agaln." ' :.- ; -A . , Now, as the doctors tclr us, when they salivate us. It is tho best the can do better , do that than , violate the constitutional provisions of our naturo which' require no mailer what the doctotshave a Way of arguing'some folks into aliclief that 'it is best to be salivated occasion ally.) So the people, next week; will most" Jikely prescribe for the' JuJgo tho painful pills that hu has ao often prescribed foy others ,Wa again advise . the'. Judge to withdraw, and unite his friends on us, or Kelly will beat us both. ,.Wa will give him all the work, and half the profits. Tluit Is clover, is it not Judge? Vou must admit it is it is an offer no other competitor ever mado you., . JTiTMr. Kelley makes sorao strong points ia his circular,' ngainst Judge Johnston, but he don't hit u$. We never voted forthat' constitution, and never intend to, while it allows aliens to vote,; If wo had, we never would ask for tho ofCce 1 5 years , that we said other folks should have here after only eighl years. ' Wo'nro too generous for that. Now we -promue, il elected, only to hold the ofllco tight years. By the way, If tho Judge backs out and begs pardon, for being so inconsistent, when be sees what an ugly fix Mr. Kelly puts him in, Two will bo most sure to be elected' . Well, we will stick to our promise. Tho Judge hull havo half the profits of tho oflice, for attending to it, and that will afford him twice as much as ho tan make on his farm, or at tha bar; and as half a loaf is better than no brsad, wo suggo.t that the best thing tha Judge aud his friends can do, is to all unito on us, for thcro is very little probability that the people of the coun ty will elect him, afur saying ' almost untni.nouily, when they elected him before, that no man should hold the ofllco mora than eight years, and ho has already had it eleven y (art. .'At present, no one need apply to us for the deputyship, as that is promised to tho Judge in view of his probable disappointment, at our election. " 1 Thi Urr Court Hcs:. ; : The New Court House was . dedicated last Monday, John I). Höwland, Esq., who had boon, requested to address the cilisens on tho occasion, was absent, but his lack ' of tervlco was abundantly supplied by D. V. Jones, Esq! ; His speech was one of his hupptast efforts. ." Our space will not allow us to publish this week, even an abstract of it. ' , f . ' Judge Itold followed with a fsw happy remarks and invited those present to attend again In tho evening, and bring the ladies with them. . . Tha evening meeting was a pleas ant one.' Several' bruUant speeches were made; as might have ' been ' ex pected, ai tho litdiei were there. It Would ba - Invidious to , compare peoches that were all so good. '..'CtTTho Common.

Eebs:top!3 Taken. .: . The most Impcrtant nevrajof'the week is that from the ,eat of war.--The detuili, as telegraphed to' Cincinnati last Vriday, appear in this paper.

The information is so direct and so particular in its character, ' that, not withstanding before reported hoaxes, we entertain no doubt of its substantial correctness; " The sieohad bet n so long procrastinated, and the allies have been so unsuccessful in most of their undertakings, that not an incon siderable number . of people Jn this country and Europo believed the place would never be taken that it was ab solutely impregnable. to tho, efforts of the, allies. The. news, .therefore, of their success and of the .carrying the fortress by storm, under th circum stances, will create the most profound sensation. It is a terrible blow to the power of Russia in , all the aspects in which it can bo viewed. . That' nation has not received so great A check since Kapoleon destroyed one or the finat armies at tho battle of AusteriltZ, in 1805.,. Tha fortifications of the j place had costs tho ! Küsstaus; more than 20,000000 1 sterlinö:, and itwaa' Us great maratime depot in"' the Illack Sea, from which it menaced the Inde pendence , of Turkey. Along with the forts, the Russians loso their Illack Sea fleet, which included a large nuna ber'of ships of the lino and frigates. ' Its morl efTects, however, will be tha most ' disastrous to the cause, of Russia, and will' give tho allies a great predominance' in all the Cabinets of EuroDC. who will bo alarmed br their ' , . - power and success. ' It will prop up and. strengthen the throne of the French limperor, and givo him almost as complete an ascendency : Over the ralndl of the. people äs was enjoyed by his world-renowned uncln. , The fall of Sebaatopol avenges the retreat from Moscow,- a historical- rcnimuccnco which has long been treasured up in every Frenchman's heart, and rankled there. Austria now, anxious to join the stronger side,' will probably give in her adhesion' to the allies.; Still it is very; doubtful,' la our jndgcracnt, whether this . event1" docs not make peace further off than ever. - V v r The allies will be rendered arrogant and dictatorial hi' eucceVs while Russia will sullenly return into her inaccessible country . and from there bid defianco to her foes; who will hardly dare march an army into the heart of her vast plains. Although Sebastopol has fallen, its defence ,hal been most glorious and honorable to Russia. The cost'jn men and treasure to England and France N has been - Im mense. Wo doubt not that more than one hundred thousand Enlull and Trench nlOnc, luvt Iii wmniiivmeiil of the sie gi, will leave their, bones to bleach upon 'the Crimea. '",' ' Thu resources 'of both tho Western powers have beeujprodigiously strain ed in tho 'enterprise, Theplaco has co st them moat dearly. ' Their ruilita ry counsels have by no' means been characterized bv tho ,' display of -,. m , w great martial tact and genins.jllad the fortress bi-en assailed, and an attempt made to carry itby force last October, after the battjo of tlie Alma, it would, doubtless, have succeeded, and all tho terrible losf sinco been' prevented. The final assault,' in its ' carnage and severity, must have been dreadful, judging from the telegrnphic ascounts published in another, polumn. ..The slaughter Is equal to the bloodiest u buttles of tho great Napolean. ' " ' : ; The Grave Yard. .. " ' I We never go to , the gravo '.jar here, without feeling that humanity is outraged by the course pursued. 80 thickly is it populated, that frequently tho sexton has to iiintr ome one, or a part of some one to make room for the dead. This is tho more outrageous as the town never spent a cent toward tho puichaMj r . 'repair of the prcsvn yard. ; An effort has been ruado to purchase a nuw one, but two or three of our principle tax payers rtfuso to consent to the tux for that purpose Their pica is,' that there is; room enough yet in the old yard. 80 there is, if only souls wero buried, and oth er people had no larger souls than they have. It might last a century yet for such a purpose and yet , have room. Wo venture totay that A aim ilar di'graco does not attach to any other town in Christendom. We know of no place but Now Orleans where it is necessary to diinJer tho remains of tho dead to make room for others. Go to Ao Election. It will make no practical difference with the people of this county which of tha candidates for Clerk is elected. Either of them will inaka n good ofll cer, and far as that ofllco Is concern ed, every roan who has anything to do, might as well stay at home and let the idlers elect. .Four years hsnce, or 1 even yeart, tho business of tho county will be right, let either' of them ba Clerk, but there is a vast diftVcnce between the candidates for Commis sioner, and we are uro that every vo ter who has taxes to pay can afford to loso a day now for the ' saki of lct Ing thoright man to that oflice. ' Go to tho election.. , rx3r-,sUould either Mr. Kelly or our self bo elected Clerk next week, Judgq Johnston will retiro from offco, with compliments that few have ever enjoy ed. There Is a universal 'sentiment that ha has been A faithful officer, and ltd I luneTuceded unly became tho peopjo of ..thl county are opposed to vioUting tho jiirit of the ceiitilut!oo.

But nothing can be more improbable than any serious difficulty growing out of that slight affair, The London Times hints at tho possibility of such an event; but under the present circumstances ia which the Allies are placed, a war with this

country is not smong the possibilities of human recurrence. To thfs Country the' consequences of a war with hurope would not be permanentlydisasti aus, but quite the contrary.- The immediate ITvcta of A war would be the Joss of a. few hundreds of millions of private properly, and the addition of a few hundreds of millions to our national .debt. But, as an offset to these losses, we : would gain at once the whole of Canada, and the prizes which we should Uke would voty nearly balance the amouot of our private losses; and the increased value ofour real estate, trom the development of our internal, resources; the establishment of manufactories, and the creation of that spirit of nationality which we now feci the need of, would monthan" torn pens ata" for ail mey would cost us. . , iiut all speculations as to the con.sequences ot a war with Europe are idle and unprofitable; as we uo hot believe such an event to come within the lino ("possibilities. If there,' should be anv desire on the part of an v European l'owers to keck a cause of quarrel w'th the United States, we do not believc'lhat the people, of this country will show any anxiety to avoid it; and, if the King of Denmark 'wishes 'to enjoy the privilege of levying a tx upon American Commerce, he could 'not do a more unwisü thing than to accept any aid from the' Emperor "of the French to assist him in doing if A".

Tha psu rious Legislature of Kansas was repudiated and treated with ccr.t:;i, its infamous laws tramrled ur- andefied. Hare you seen the Llcctlca Law passed by that notable body ? If you have not, you should examine You will see that it is directly la tended to exclude Free-State men frora the polls," as well f.s generally tyrannical snd oppressive. Ia view of the illegality of the Legislature, the Con vention determined to disregard the day which it appointed for tb t!tfJ:a of Delegat to Congress, and it em. powered the Executive CoacHtce to , ssue a proclamation to the voters of the Territory to meet at their respeeive pucel of hoidini election on tta second Tuesday of-October, And vote for Dtlegate. to Congress. So far as . the circumstance will admit, this election w ill be held according to tho usual forms of law, and certified returns will be made. A memorial to Ccajress will be drawn up and siirncd by every voter, setting forth the nrcctsity of this unusual proceeding, . and ikea lurnished witk evidence that do other course was. left for us, and as we doubt not, with evidence that he ia tie choice of a large majority of the lejrta - voters or Kausas, onr .Leief'aie vjii apply for admission to the House of Representatives.' . , GovcrnorlReeder attended the Con vention, but took .no part in iu pro ccedings.,-, Without his solicitation, he was chosen aa candidate for Del-ate by acclamation. . He was then loud! called lor, ana came forward to address the Convention. . He was greeted with cheer alter cheer, that made the welkin ring. Living or dying, he threw himself heartily into the thickest of the- combat for a Free State. I.. speech was .received, with untveiaal demonstrations of delight, and but one opinion prevailed, and that was that . be was the roan for the hour. ' Governor Shannon, on bis arrival, made an address to - the people of Westport, - Mo.' In speaking of the Kansas Legislature, . while thus addressing Missourians. he at two . several times called it "your Legislature." He declared that its acts were valid, and that he had the will, and was clothed with the power 'to employ whatever force was necessary to carry' them into execution. ' And still addressing Missourians, he said:, "I call upon you to sustain ma ia tha discharge of this duty." ' Tha Legislature has closed its session by limitation.. It has taken all power out of the hands of the people. The members have distributed all cC,ces except those provided for by art of Congress among their relative tn friends, and when these failed, they appointed themselves. H cannot be that tha Pro-Slavery me 0f thi Territory will endure uc tyranny. Another fact wVcJi'ibsve on good, authority is that the "Hanging Law" in regard to offenses against slave property wa' not drawn up by aoy member 0'. the Legislature,, but was the.wor 0f Gen.
