accepted, the following permanent officers were reported by the committee, and the report accepted and adopted : ' ,: President Hon. Henry S. Randall, of Cortland. Vice Presidents First District, Gustavus W. tiuiith

G. Bryan, of Genesee. The following is the Platform of principles reported to and adopted by the Convention. They contain the riiii; of the true metal : PLATFORM. 1, tooW, That the Old Line National Democracy of New York have no new allegiance to proclaim and no new doctrines to avow; that year after year, in unchanging language, we have reiterated our protest against the absorption of all other political issues in the3 agitation of the slavery question ; and we now,

in 18G0, in announcing our position and purpose, only repeat what has been said by us in resisting the Wilmot proviso in 1817, the Buffalo platform iu 1848, the anti-Fugitive Slave law mania in 1850, the anti-Nebraska excitement in 1854, and the anti-Lecompton movement in 1857 ; that throughout all its successive stages we recognize in the anti-Slavery agitation the simple issue whether this American Union is to be preserved for white men or destroyed on account of negroes, and that we will continue to labor, whether in the ascendant or in defeat, for the success of our principles in the spirit of men who deserve to triumph because they do not fear reverses. 2. Resolved, That we equally oppose and reprobate the plan of Abraham Lincoln for interfering with the rights of slaveholders in the Territories by act of Congress, and the plan of Stephen Arnold Douglas for interfering with them by unfriendly territorial legislation, and that our principles stand defined by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Dred Scott decision as the doctrine of the constitution, of the rights of citizens, of the equality of the States, and of obedience to and respect for the decisions of our highest judicial tribunal. 3. Resolved, That we endorse and ratify the platform adopted by the National Convention at the Maryland Institute, in the city of Baltimore, over which the Hon. Caleb Gushing presided, in June last, and accept it as the definition of our political faith. 4. Resolved, That we heartily endorse and approve of the administration of James Buchanan, President of the United States; that amid unprecedented embarrassments and the assault of factious and an unscrupulous opposition, its' foreign and domestic policy has been conducted with a quiet, firm, consistent dignity, calculated to advance the true interests of the country, and becoming this great popular and free government. . 5. Resolved, That we endorse and ratify the nomination of John C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, for President, and Joseph Lane, of Oregon, for Vice President of the United States, and that we will support and sustain them as the only regular and national candidates of the National Democracy. 6. Resolved, That we reprobate and condemn in unmeasured terms the conduct of the controlling majority of the New York delegation in the National Democratic Convention at Charleston and Baltimore; that we charge upon their factious conduct the disruption and division of the Democratic party and the embarrassments which now rest upon it, and we invoke all true Democrats, whatever their personal predilection for candidates, to join us in repudiating a faction, who, to subserve their schemes of mercenary ambition, have thus imperilled the success of the party, and betrayed the confidence of a generous and patriotic people. ' , ' 7. Resolved, That the pretended nominations of Stephen A. Douglas for President, and Herschel V. Johnson for Vice President, at Baltimore, have no semblance of regularity whatever, and are not binding upon the Democratic party that Mr. Johnson was not nominated by any convention or popular body, and he has not, therefore, been nominated that the nomination of Mr. Douglas was made by a faction of a broken-up Convention in violation of the. two-third rule which had been adopted for its government, and was in force, by a minority of States which are mostly hopelessly Republican, after the regular delegations from numerous Democratic States had been refused admission to their seats, and by a body which, at no time, could count a majority of its delegates in his favor when acting freely their sentiments. 8. Resolved, That it being reasonably apparent that the nominations of Breckinridge and Lane will receive from the Southern and Pacific States between 1 29 and 130 electoral votes and that the vote of the State of New York will secure their election, we earnestly invite and urge all Democrats who would desire with us the defeat of Lincoln and Hamlin to vote for John C. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane, and thus secure a Democratic administration and the supremacy of constitutional principles by the people. The following State ticket was nominated, and enthusiastically received: For Governor .Tames T. Brady, of New York. For Lieutenant Governor II. K. Viele, of Buffalo. For Canal Commissioner John M. Jaycox.

For State Prison Inspector Rout. W. Allex, of

Kings.

A list of electors and contingent electors were re

ported and adopted, and a State Central Committee

appointed, with powers to confer with any other com

mittee, with a view to consolidate the vote on one electoral ticket, in opposition to Black Republicanism. After the business of the Convention was over, Hon.

Daniel S. Dickinson being called for, responded at

length, of which the following is a condensed report: SPEECH OK MR. niCKIKSOK. Hon, Daniel S. Dickinson was received with loud applause, the Convention rising to their feet and giving him three tremendous cheers.

Mr. Dickinson said he was highly gratified to be invited to stand upon the platform of this Convention, and commune with its members. He congratulated

them on the happy termination of their labors. He had recently made a public speech, and would not de

tain them long. His own views were well understood, and they were doubtless shared by all here. He was glad to see the Convention come together so full and resectable. He congratulated them on nominating a ticket certain to receive (he nomination and com

mand the respect, not of the State alone, but the whole nation. He congratulated them on their platform, the ceneral principles of which were certain to stand

when all here had passed away. There was in the field their own encmv, the Republican partv, which

under any name had never succeeded, and never could succeed except through the divisions and errors

ot the democracy, jno one could tay that tor these divisions the National Deir.ocracy was responsible. The Republican party in Chicaso had been under the

necessity of throwing over their great leader to keep the ship from sinking; the Acteon was actually torn to pieces by his own deeds. In ancient time a man, who

was probably a Republican lor bo was cwtnea m

purple and line linen, and fared sumptuously every Hav findinir himself suffering for his sins, called on

Father Abraham to relieve him. So did the Republicans at Chicago; but they would not probably be saved

from torment bv hiin anv more than their illustrious

predecessor was. The Democratic party, he held, was not divided in principle. They hold to the equal rights of the States, and give equal privileges to all the possessions of the Union. No man is a Democrat who refuses this right to all. There is no half-way house between this principle and the reverse. He who is not in favor of the right, must belong properly to the wrong. There are not half-breeds between truth and error. He reviewed the progress of the Democratic party, and declared that there had always been around it men who desired to profit personally by its strength. The last and worst of Ca-sars had commanded that those who were offensive to him should bear upon their shoulders the carcass of the dead. There were those in the Democratic party who are now carrying on their shoulders a dead carcass. But the true Democracy of the State, the only Democracy in fact, had emancipated themselves, and cast off all dead weight There are- two -candidates for the Presidency in the field only two in fact Breckinridge and Lincoln. ' . . . 1 1 1 I

There were ottiors trying to get into uie new, sucu tm Douglas, and Bell, and Houston, but they could not be considered as candidates. They are running toaid ono or other of the other candidates. It was said that the National Democracy were bolters. They are in one sense, for they intend to bolt the doors of the Democracy against all hucksters, auctioneers and jobbers. Laughter and applause. He reviewed the action of the conventions at Charleston and Baltimore, arguing that the nomination of Douglas had nothing regular

about it except its impudence and presumption. A Voice. " Who nominated Johnfon?" Mr. Dickinson. He is not nominated at all. He proceeded to claim that Mr. Breckinridge was regularly nominated by the Convention, which convened under its chairman. He was nominated by the vote of seventeen States, and portions of other States, and would carry one hundred and twenty-seven votes in the South and Pacific States. The vote of the State of New York would therefore elect him. Applause. Douglas could not get an electoral vote in the South. He. would not fret a vote in the Eastern States.jin the

Western States, or in the Middle States. Breckjnridirc. therefore, comes near an election, while Doug

las 'does not start at all. To beat Lincoln, then, all

men should support Breckinridge, who starts with one hundred and twenty-seven electoral votes, and not a man who starts without knowing where he shall get a vote at all. He argued that Breckinridge was a Democrat who was not objectionable to any State in the Union, while Douglas was opposed to the bitter end by fifteen States in the Union. The Southern Stales would not vote for Douglas if Breckinridge was not running; but if Douglas should withdraw, Breckinridge's election would be certain. Every Democrat should insist, then, that Douglas shall be withdrawn. That would dispense with the necessity for negotiations and intrigues, to which he (Dickinson) was opposed in every mood and gender in every number and case. Applause. He called upon the Democracy to raise their banners boldly, and not to saj they are half right and half wrong, but declare themselves all right, to take no rotten timber in their building. Applause. Ho would dose as he commenced, by congratulating the Convention on their aetion, and though the people might scoff at the movement as a " cloud no bigger than a man's hand," it would grow in size, and send forth a deluge that should refresh and purify the arid soil of politics. Let them go into the field with Breckinridge and Lane, with Brady and Viele on their banner, and see whether the people would not flock to the standard. He was not afraid because a faction was in the field against them. Ho had lived down many a faction, and should live down this one, and see the triumph again of the true Democracy. He thanked the Convention for their attention, and referred them to his published speech for his sentiments on the issues of the campaign. Loud applause and cheers.

Mr, Yancey's Letter. Some of the papers, not content with falsifying the sentiments of Mr. Yancey's letter to Mr. Slaughter,

forge a new date for it, (1860 instead of 1858) to give

greater plausibility to their misrepresentations. Mr. Yancey, July 10, 18G0, says of this letter : " It was private not designed for publication, and therefore its expressions are loose, and not as well weighed as I would have desired. Still there is not an idea in it that I do not now entertain. But the letter does not urge disunion does not advocate disruption either of the Democracy or of the Union. Mr. Slaughter had written to me, urging me to abandon the Democracy, as the great obstacle to Southern union. I replied, refusing to go into his scheme. He called the Democratic party an Augean stable, and his scheme would clean it out. I denied that this scheme could succeed. He predicted good from its overthrow. The latter refuses assent to his prediction. To wean him from his chimerical and short-sighted policy, I suggested to him to aid in extending the league; not to destroy the party which in the same letter I had refused to give countenance to but to elevate and purify the true men of the country. And for what purpose ? The Douglas papers and orators, following the idea given by Mr. Douglas himself; answer and say that I proclaimed my purpose in that letter to be ' to precipitate the cotton States into a revolution.' I sav that this is a gross perversion of the letter and spirit of that document. The letter itself says that the purpose was ' a prompt resistance to the next aggression,' that 'at a proper moment' this resistance can be made. This, and this alone, is the offence in that letter. When it was written I had in my head no scheme ot disunion. I have bad none s;nt.eI have none now. Then, as now, I was for usin" all proper means for maintaining our rights within the Union then as now to elevate, purify,and bring the Democratic party up to a strict maintenance of the full measure of our constitutional right, and to ignore all further compromises. To this end have I honestly labored up to this hour. . The whole tone and tenor of that letter is to prepare for enforcing the platform of the Union State Convention of Georgia 'on the next aggression,' at 'a proper moment.' When that hour arrives, I shall be found prepared."

Breckinridge and Lane in Warrick County. The following notice of a pole raising in Warrick county, is copied from the Warrick County Democrat, a paper that ha3 the name of Douglas at its mast-head, but which evidently is at heart, in favor of the election and principles of Breckixkidge and Lane : " Aoreeablv to announcement previously given, some

two hundred Democrats favorable to the election of Breckinridge and Lane to the Presidency and VicePresidency, assembled at Lynnville last Saturday, and raised a hn kory pole 120 feet in height, from which a beautiful flag, forty feet in length, was immediately run up, and which floated majestically when we left the town. Most of the Democrats who assisted on the occasion, seemed to do so with a good will and with a determination to stand by Breckinridge and Lane, regardless of the consequences which might ensue thereafter; and they were, for the most part, such men as the Democracy of old Warrick have always been pi ond to regard as among the most reliable Democrats in the county. We have had no agency in placing the Democratic party of Indiana in the position it now occupies ; and we cannot but deeply regret the condition ot affairs at this time, as it is evident that unless a more conservative and compromising spirit prevails between this and November, Lincoln will be sure to receive the electoral vote of the State."

the Bible in Congress. A joint note was received some months since from the Chaplains of Congress, suggesting that the American Bible Society present a, copy of their pulpit Bible for use in public worship at the Capitol. ; The suggestion was cheerfully complied with, and the following response received, which is just published : ' Capitol, U.S., Washington, May 19, 1859. To the Board of Managers of the American Bible . Society : ' . - : Gentlemen: We have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of an imperial quarto Bible, for the use of Congress 'at the hands of your Secretary. In behalf of Congress we beg to tender you our' . grateful thanks for . this present, and . to express the hope that the great truths contained in that Sacred Record may be impressed upon all our minds and hearts. With sentiments of the highest respect and consideration, we have the honor to be your obedient servants, J. C. Breckinridge, Pres't Senate. Wm. Picnninoton, Speaker II. II. Our Union, The Paoli Eagle, an influential Democratic paper, published at Paoli, Orange county, Indiana, is in favor of one and a joint electoral ticket in this State. It says: ' : ' !.-.'-".:-: ' OUR COURSE. 1 We determined from the commencement of our difficulties, in the Democratic party, to try and bring about union in our ranks before we put up a Presidential Ticket. Without harmony and union we are defeated, and for ono, wc are not disposed to .help keen ud the division anions; us. A proposition is

made by one wing of the party to bring about a union

of action a proposition tnat wm secure tne vote oi Indiana to the Democracy. This proposition we regard as a fair and honorable one, and hope it will be accepted. If this is done, it will put an end to our difficulties', and all the democrats can go to work with an assurance that their labor will not be spent in vain. In the event that there is no compromise effected,

we shall then pursue that course, that in our judg

ment, will, in the end be of the most advantage m keeping the Democratic party together. The Union in Pennsylvania. Cresson, Pa., August 9, I860.

The Democratic Statu Committee met at 3 o'clock, President Welch in the chair, and II. D. Burnham,

Secretary.- Sixtv-mne members were present.

Mr. Welch opened with a speech, lie was in favor

of conciliation, and hoped Uie electoral tieKer. woum remain as it was.

Diflenbach, of Clinton, presented a resolution de

claring that it behooves all good Democrats to stand bv the decision of the Committee.

" Gen. Miller moved an amendment by calling a new

ennvention.

Isaac Leech moved to amend by substituting the

Rnnilinir resolution. Reiected 1 2 to 51.

Alexander Fulton, of Armstrong, moved the fol

lowing:

Resolved, That the action of the committee of

July the 2d be rescinded, and tiie loiiowing suosn-

tuted: Resolved, That the Democratic electoral ticket be

headed with the name ot Breckinridge or Douglas, and

the electors at large, and that in the event of the success of said ticket, if the greatest number of the votes shall have been cast for Douglas, then the vote of the

State shall be cast for Douo-las and Johnson ; but it tor

Breckinridge, then for Breckinridge and Lane; and

that the. Churman of the Committee be required to re

quire a pledge from the electors, and if any refuse.that

fus name be omitted. After a long debate, the first part of the proposition, about heading the electoral ticket, was agreed to, Aves 49. noes 22.

The second part, throwing the vote for the candi

date who has a chance ot election, was agreed to viva voce. ' ' f The resolution, as finally ; adopted, reads as follows : .- Resolved, That the Democratic electoral ticket be headed with the names of Douglas or Breckinridge, and in the event of the success of that ticket, if the greater number shall have been cast for Douglas, then the vote of the electoral college of the State shall be cast for Douglas and Johnson ; if for Breckinridge, then for Breckinridge and Lane. If the vote of Pennsylvania cannot elect the candidate for whom the majority of the votes are cast, and can elect any other man running for President, and claiming to be a Democrat, then the vote of the electoral college shall be

castfor that candidate. If it will not elect either of

the candidates for whom it is cast, nor any of the Democrats who are voted for in the State, then the vote shall be east for the candidate who has a majority of the votes of the State ; and the Chairman of the Committee is required to obtain their several and distinct pledges of acquiescence in the foregoing resolution, and report the result of his action at a future meeting of the Committee. The Committee then adjourned sine die, with cheers.

ELf Brother Henry Ward Beecher, who, according lo one of his sentimental female admirers, has " the profile of a sheep with the full face of a lion," is much glorified by the English papers. The Loudon Press seems to consider him a second Paul, and quotes some of his remarks on slavery as " household words." The editor, however, has evidently overlooked one or two of the " great American Beecher's" grandest hits, and especially his offer to head a subscription for the promotion of civil war in Kansas, and his proposition to arm Americans with Sharpe's rifles for the purpose of shooting down Americans. If it is proper to " give the devil his due," it is certainly duty to give " a worthy ambassador of the Prince of Peace " all the credit he deserves as an advocate of fratricide.

The Kentucky Election, The Louisville Democrat, a wild Douglas paper used every effort to defeat the Democratic nominee, in that State, for Clerk of the Court of Appeals. The editor urged his Douglas friends throughout the State to cast their votes for the Bell candidate. So far as the returns have come in his advice has been acted upon, and the indications are that the Bell candidate is elected by a large majority. The Democrat crows as follows over the result: "Although we can't claim a Democratic victory, Democrats can claim the credit of defeating McClarty. Let them set down as much of it to our credit as we deserve. We esteem it the best service we can render the party or the country, and we congratulate all who gave their aid in the cause."

Glory Enough in One Day. We can't boast of

a Democratic victory; but our worst opponent is defeated, and we trust ail will heartily rejoice. We have cleared the road to victory in November. According to the Democrat, it is "glory enough in one day" to the Douglas men of Kentucky to know that the Bell party have triumphed over them in the election. This is about the kind of Democracy old Harney has been teaching for the last four years every year ho gets bolder and bolder, and we should not be surprised to see him before another passes, in the Black Republican camp. His course is tending strongly to that point Paoli Eagle. Candidates for the Charleston Nomination. There were nine centlemen before the National

The Policy of the Douglas Party. No mm can doubt the determination of the adhe

rents of Judge Douglas at a future time to fuse with the Southern Americans, and to build up a party in opposition to the National Deniocracy. Such was indirectly declared to be its purpose in Washington City by one of the members of the Douglas Resident Committee. Its conduct of the canvass so far, and its insidious mode of warfare, betrays the theory ot its movements as porfectly as if it had al

ready completed the transter ot its torces to ieu ami Everett. .. : . - .'..- 1 ' In Georiria. the Rome Courier, a Bell paper, ex

poses the fact that a proposition to coalesce was made to the American party by the Douglas faction. And, though that paper denounced it as a 'shameless, unparaFleled and insulting proposition,' and such 'as was never before made to honest men.' the fusion there is fast becoming perfect, and the Douglasites will conspire with those who thus denounce them to defeat the

for Clerk of the Court of Appeals, a man who has illustrated a long life by a vindictive and nnrelenting hostility to the Demoaratie party, and by a rapidity to connect himself with each new organization that has arisen, promising the most to be its formidable enemy.

lie was identified with tne party wmeii causeu uie streets of Louisville to run with the blood of Catholic and adopted citizens, peacefully endeavoring to exercise the right of suffrage given them by the Constitution of Kentucky. And yet these classes of citizens are worked upon by the adherents of Judge Douglas, to swell their meagre voting capital, that they may make a larger transfer than they now can do, when the hour to complete the partnership arrives.- - Is it possible that they will thus permit themselves to be shifted into a political association with those who are their uncompromising enemies, and make their votes a part of the consideration that is to effect the fusion ?

The whole course of the Douglas party is a proof

of its entire sympathy with the ancient toes ot tne Democracy. Like all other factions, who, to resent some fancied wrong to a favorite chieftain, split from their party, they know no restraint upon the malignity with which they seek their resentment. The history of the Democratic party affords memorable examples, warning them of the penalty of their insubordination. Its highways to power are strewn with the blenched bone.-Tof as good men as the Douglasites sacrificed to maintain the integrity of its principles and organization. Let the temporary apostacy of Martin Van Buren, which caused him to be followed by that uncompromising justice which our party visits upon its recusants warn them to pause before they go too far. They know they have not the remotest prospect of success in the, South. Knowing this, they cannot con

ceal from tin- Democratic masses what will stick out i

beneath their plausible disguises, that their affected i

belief in Douglas' success is but a means oi accomplishing an Opposition victory, as was the candidacy of Boiling, iu Kentucky, intended to promote the election of Combs. Memphis Avalanche.

Bell and Everett Meeting. . The friends of Bell and Everett held a meeting at the Court House on i Saturday night, which was attended by some sixty or seventy enthusiastic Bellringers. The meeting organized by calling Mahlon Seybald to the chair, and making James G. Bryant Secretary. ' The address of the National Committee was read by J. M. Bramwell. The following gentlemen were appointed delegates to the State Convention : Z. Tousey, Benj. Stout, J. G. Bryant, John N. Clark, J. M. Bramwell, George Norwood, A. II.

Seybald, Charles Purcell, S, E. Frazee and J, B. Sullivan. :: A committee of three was also appointed to procure a hall for the meeting of the State Convention on the 15th inst. ' It was also resolved to form a Bell and Everett Club, and the meeting adjourned until next Satday night, to meet at the Court House for that 'purpose. 'V . ' v, " SHOW YOUR FAITH BY WORKS. A deputy State official has offered to wager $500, with a gentleman of this city, that the Ticket of Breckinuuwe and Lane will not get 10,000 votes in the State of Indiana. As the gentlenia to whom this wager was offered is not a betting man, he declined it; but he has a friend in the city who has deposited the above sum with the publishers of this paper, and if this 4fputy State official will call, his money will be covered on the spot. And as an inducement to the deputy State official, or any others that desire it, to take early action in this matter, we will add the offer of $500 more that Breckinridge and Lane will get 20,000 votes in Indiana. - If this shall be taken, we are authorized to make further offers, on a still higher figure. tn3

The Douglas Men Giving it Up. The Douglas men are giving up the battle all over the North. In this city they started a daily paper, which ran a few days and collapsed, and now the Chicago Times, Mr. Douglas' home organ, has been sold out to the proprietors of the. Chicago Herald. The Chicago Journal, in commenting upon this significant change, very justly observes: " This has a bad look, especially at this particular time, when Douglas is before the people as a candidate for President. The Times has not only been his home organ, but has been recognized all over the country as the leading exponent of Douglas Democracy iii the Northwest. If its editors or publishers had the least confidence or hope that he could be elected, they could not have been induced to sell out at any price ; but having now sold out, and that, too, to a man who is by no means a zealous friend of Douglas, and for a moderate amount, the event may be considered as a concession on their part of the utter hopelessness of the cause of Douglasism ; and it will be so regarded by everybody." No more proof is needed that the Douglas men have given up the battle, and now only hope to be strong enough to defeat Breckinridge, by electing Lincoln. A. Y.

The advices j from Europe represent breadstuff's advancing, and the , crops there as anything but promising; the probabiljty is that there will be an average yield of grain this : season. Should present predictions be verified in this respect, and should the fields of this country redeem j the golden promises they now hold out, the demand j for American breadstuff's will be immense. At no; former period did the harvest all over the country j look so splendid and abundant as now. The wheat , and corn country of the West, and of New York and . Pennsylvania, presents a gladdening spectacle to the j eyes of the farmers. The South has already filled j her gamers to overflowing, the present drought in, that region having set in too late to damage the grain , crop. The shipments to Europe are already large j and vessels are pretty scarce. In the event of a fall-' ing off in the European harvests, the trade in bread-j stuffs, the shipping business and commerce generally, j must experience an extraordinary activity: and per-1

haps the best thing the Great Eastern could do, as she cannot get a cargo of cotton, would be to return home full of flour and grain.. 0Mr. Secretary Cobb was a Unionist in 1850. He stood with Clay and Cass, and their associates, an advocate of the Compromise of that year. And Mr. Forsvth, the Douglas leader in Alabama, who was at the time in question a rabid secessionist, declares that he (Cobb) was a 'traitor to the Democracy of Georgia and the South in 1850 A traitor in the estimation of a Douglas leader because he stood side by side with the friends of a Compromise supported by Mr. Douglas himself!
