On Thursday night last, between one and two o'clock, the residence of Mr. Matthew Humphreys at Knox, was discovered to be on fire, and before water and sufficient assistance could be procured the entire building and most of its contents were consumed the family barely escaping with their lives. inJ a ftw clothes which they gathered as they made their escape. Mr. H's. pocket book, containing notes and accounts, and some forty dollars in money, were also consumed. It is supposed the fire was communicated from an ash pan in the rear part of the buildings. r - -a- 1 Democratic National Convention . Mr. Hallt It of Massachusetts reported ' the following PLATFORM. The Committee on Resolutions, by their ' Chairman, Mr. Harlett. of Massachu- . sella, submit the following Report: Resolved, That tho American Democracy place their trust in the intelligence, the patriotism, and the discriminating justice of the American people Resolved, That we regard this as a dis tinctive feature of our political creed, which we are proud to maintain before the world, as the great moral element in a, form of government springing from and upheld by tho popular will; a&d we contrast it with the creed and practice of Federalism, under whatever name or form, which seeks to patty the will of the constituent, and which conceives no imposture too monstrous for the popular credulity. Revolted, therefore. That, entertaining these views, the Democratic party of this Union, through the delegates assembled in a general Convention, coming together in ft spirit of concord, of devotion to the doctrines and faith of a free representative government, and appealing to their fellow-citizens for the rectitude of their intentions, renew and reassert before the American people, the declaration of principles avowed by them when, on former occasions, in general Convention, they hare presented their candidates for the pupular suffrages, 1. That the Federal Government is one of limited power, derived 6olely from the Constitution; and the grants of poner made therein ought to be strictly construed by all the departments and agents of the government; and that it is inexpedient and-dangerous to exercise doubtful constitutional powers. 2. That the Constitution does riot confer upon the General Government the power to commence and carry on a gene ral system of internal improvements. 3. That the Constitution does not confar authority upon tho Federal Government, directly or indirectly, to assume the debts of the several State.3, contracted for local and internal improvements, or other State purposes; nor would such assumption be just or expedient. 4. That justice and sound policy forbid the Federal Government to foster one .branch of industry to tha detriment of any other, or to cherish the interests of one portion to the injury of another portion of our common country; that every citizen and. every section of the country has a right to demand and insist upon an equality of rights and privileges, and to complete an ample protection of persons and property from domestic violence or foreign aggression. - f 5, That it is the duty of every branch of the Government to enforce and prac tica the most rigid economy in conducting our public affairs, and that no more rev enue ought to be raised than is required to defray the necessary expenses of the Government, and for the gradual, but cer tain extinction of the public debt. m . 6. That the proceeds of the lands ought to be sacredly applied to the national ob. jects opposed to any law for the distribu tion of such proceeds among the States as alike inexpedient in policy and repag nant to the Constitution 7. That Congress has bo power to char "tar a national bank; that we believe such an Institution one of deadly hostility to the best interests of the country, danger

ous to our republican institutions and the v

liberties of the people, and calculated to place the business of the country within the control of a concentrated money power, aud above the laws and the will of the people; and that the results of Democratic legislation in this and all other financial measures, upon which issues have been made between the two political parties of the coon try, have demonstrated to candid and practiced men of all parties their soundness, safety, and utility, in all business pursuit. 8. That the separation of the moneys of tho Government from banking institutions is indispensable to the safety of the funds of the Government, and the rights of the people. 9. That we are decidedly opposed to taking from the President tho qualified veto power by which he is enabled, under restrictions and responsibilities amply sufficient to guard the public interests, to suspend the passage of a bill whose merits cannot secure the approval of twothirds of the senate and House of Representatives, until the judgment of the people can be obtained .thereon, and which has saved the American people, from the corrupt and tyranical domination of the Bank of the United Slates, and from a corrupting system of general internal improvements. 10. That the liberal principles embod.ied by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, and sanctioned in the Constitution, which makes ours the land of liberty, and the asylum of the oppressed of every nation, have ever been cardinal principles in the Democratic faith, and every attempt to abridge the privilege of becoming citizens and the owners of soil among us, ought to be resisted with the

same spirit which swept the alien and se dition laws from our statute books. And Whereas, Since the foregoing declaration was uniformly edopted by our predecessors in National Convention, on adverse political and religious test has been secretly organized by a party claiming to be exclusively American, it is proper that the American Democracy should clearly define its relations thereto, and declare its determined opposition to all secret political socities, by whatever name they miy be called. Resolved. That the foundation of this union of States having been laid in, and its prosperity, and pre eminent example in free government built upon entire freedom in matters of religious concernment, and no respect of person in regard to rank or place of birth, no party can justly be deemed national, constitutional, or in accordance with American principles, which bases its exclusive organization upon religious and accidental pirlh-place. And hence a political crusade in the nineteenth century, and in the United States of America, against Catholics and foreign born is neither justified by the great history of the future prospects of the country, nor in unison with the spirit of toleration and enlarged freedom which peculiarly distinguishes the Anerican system of popular government. Resolved, That we reiterate, with renewed energy of purpose, the well-con sidered declarations of former Conventions upon the sectional issue of Domestic Slavery, and concerning tbe reserved rights of the States, - 1. That Congress bos no power, under the Constitution, to interfere with or control the domestic institutions of the several States, and that such States are the sole and proper judges of everything appertaining - to their own affairs, not prohibited by the Constitution; that all efforts of the Abolitionists or others, made to induce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery, or to take incipient steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous con sequences; and that all such efforts have an inevitable tendency to demonish the happiness of the people, and endanger the stability and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any friend of our.political institutions. 2. That the foregoing proposition cov ers, and was intended to embrace, the whole subject of slavery agitation in Con gress; and therefore, the Democratic par ty of the Union, standing on this nation al platform, will abide by and adhere to a faithful execution of the acts known as the Compromise measures, settled by the Congress of 1850, "the act for reclaiming fugitives from service or labor' included; which' act being designed to carry out an express' provision of the Constitution, canno.t, with fidelity thereto, be repealed, or so changed as to destroy or impair its efficiency. -3. That the Democratic party will re sist all attempts at renewing, in Congress or out of it, the agitation of the slavery question under whatever shape or color tha attempt may be made. 4. That the Democratic party will faithfully abide by and uphold, the principles laid down in the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of 1799. and in the report of Mr. Madison to the Virginia Leg islature, in 1799; that it adopts those principles as constituting one of the main foundations of its political creed, and is resolved to carry them out in their obvious meaning and import. And that we may more distinctly meet the issue on which a sectional party, sub sisting exclusively on slavery agitation

now relies to test the fidelity of the people, north and south, to the Constitution aud the Union 1. Resolved. That claiming fellowship with, and desiring the co-operation of all who regard the preservation of the Union under the Constitution as the paramount issue and repudiating all sectioual parties and platforms concerning domestic slavery, which seek to embroil the States and incile'to treason and armed resistanco to law in tho Territories; and whose avowed purposes, if consummated, must end in civil war and disunion tbe American Democracy recognize and adopt the principles contained in the organic laws establishing the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska as embodying tho only sousd and safe solution of thb slavery question" upon which the great national idea of the people of this whole country can repose in its determined conservatism of the Union Nojt interference by Congress with Slavery in -the Territories ob in the District of Columbia. 2. That this was the basis of the Compromises of 1S50 confirmed by both tho Democratic and Whig parties in national Conventions ratified by tbe people in the election of 1852 and tightly applied to the organization of Territories in 1854. 3. That by the uniform application of this Democratic principle to the organization of territoiies, and to the admission of new States, with or without domestic slavery, as they may elect the equal rights of all the States will be prpserved intact the original compacts of the Constitution maintained inviolate and the perpetuity and expansion of this Union insured to its utmost capacity of embracing," in peace and harmony, every future American State that may be constituted or anexed, with a Republican form of gov-

Resolved. That we recognize tho right of the people of all the territories, inclu ding Kansas and Nebraska, acting through the legally and fairly expressed will of a majority of actual residents, and whenever the number of their inhabitants justifies it, to form a Constitution, with or without domestic slavery, and be admitted into the Union upon terms of perfect equality with the other Slates. Resolved, finally. That in view cf the condition of popular institutions in the Old Worljl (aud the dangerous tendencies of sectional agitation combined with the attempt to enforce civil and religious dis abilities against the rights of acquiring and enjoying citizenship, in our own land) a high and sacred duty as developed with increased responsibility upon the Democratic pnrty of this country, as the party of tho Union, to uphold and maintain the rights of every State, and thereby the Union of the States; and to sustain and advance among us constitutional liberty, by continuing to resist all monopolies & exclusive legislation for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many, and by a vigilant and constant adherance to those principles and compromises of the Constitution, which are broad enough and strong enough to embrace and uphold the Union as it was, tbe Union as it is, and the Union as it shall be, in the full expansion of the energies and capacity of this great and progressive people. 1. Resolved, That there are questions connected with the foreign policy of this country, which are inferior to no domestic question whatever. The time has come for the people of the United Slates to decla re themselves in favor of free seas and progressive free trade throughout the world, and, by solemn manifestation, to place theirmoral influence at the side of their successful example. 2. Resolved, That our geographical and political positian with reference to the other States of this continent, no less than the interest of our commerce and the de velopment of oar growing power, rtquires tha t we should hold as sacred the principles involved in the Monroe Doctrine; their bearing and import admit of no misconstruction; they should be applied with unbending rigidity. 3. Resolved, That the great highway which nature, as well as assent of the Slates most immediately interested in its maintenance, has marked out for a free communication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, constitutes one of the most important achievements realized by the spirit of modern times and the unconquerable energy of our people. ! That result should be secured by a timely and efficient exertion of the control which we have the right to claim over it, and no power on earth should be suffered to impede or clog its progress by auy interference with the relations it may suit our policy to establish between our government and the government of the State within whose-dominions it lies. We can, under no circumstance, surrender our preponderance in the adjustment of all questions arising out of it. 4. Resolved, That in View of so commanding an interest, the people of the United States cannot but sympathise with the efforts which are being made by the people of Central America to regenerate that portion of the continent which covers the passage across the Inter oceanic Isthmus. 5. Resolved, That the Democratic party will expect of tbe next Administration that every proper effort be made to insure our ascendency in the Gulf of Mexico, and to obtain a permanent protection to

F. HALLETT, Chairman. James Buchanan. Never was there a nomination made by the Democratic parly that was so entirely in accordance with the public sentimentthe feelincs and wishes of the r w ! people as that of James Buchanan, for I President of the United States. He is j the man that had been " selected by the j people on their farms, in their woikshops. i in the hamlets, villages and cities, spon taneously, without prompting or suggestions from politicians, and the wisdom of the Cincinnati Convention in carrying out the public wish on this point, will be attested by his selection to the post for which he is a candidate, by an over whelming majority. Our standard bearer in the Presidential contest is no new man, nor is ho unknown to fame. For forty years he has been in public life, and identified with the history of tha country as one of its first statesmen and truest patriots. He has received nearly every mak of confidence and esteem from the people it was in their power to bestow, and has been called, by different administrations to assume high trusts at home and abroad As a member of his own State Legislature, Representative and Senator in Congress, Minister to foreign Courts, and Secretary of State of the United States, he has manifested a possession of those high qualities which are requisite to en able and failhful discharge, of the duties devolving upon the President of this great and prosperous Republic. He is the favorite son of the Kej6tonc S:ate, a Stnto that h.is always been Democratic to the core, and has attested its patriotism by voting for Washington, Jefferson, Madison Monroe, and Jackson, to fill the s.nne office which is now tendered to her own distingui&hed statesmen. That he will be elected, there can hardly be a doubt, and as an augery of success, it may be mentioned that he was never beaten for auy office from his first entrance upon political lifo. Mr. Buchanan, of all others, is best fitted for President of the United States at this epoch in our history. There is a crisis impending, and i: requires peculiar qualifications to conduct and manage a flairs until it shall have passed. What man more suitable than Janus Bu chanan, a statesman of the school of Madison. Monroe. Adam3, Jackson, Clay,, Webster, and the other distinguished statesmen of the day?

The Marshal was in tbe act of arresting some men who attacked the party under Capt. Tate. The Free soilers had consideribly increased in numbers, ond yesterday were destroying houses and driving men, women and children from their inhabitations near Bull Creek. A company of one hundred and forty, under Captain Reed, had left Santa Fe in pursuit of tbe marauders. A report said that Franklin was not taken, th JUgh attacked by a party of Free soldiers. Captain Pate and company bad been liberated by Colonel Sumner, wbo arrived at Black Jack Point in time to prevent a conflict between those holding Pate and a party under Reed.

In fouf successive contentions from 1841 to 1S0G, he received tne unanimous vote of the representatives of this Statr. In the Baltimore Convention of 1852. Virginia clung to him for thirty-four billots; nor did she deceit him unlit his owu Slate despaired of his nomination. With chivalric constancy of devotion, the Democracy of Virgitita again rall;ed to the support of their favorite Salesman in the Convention of 1856; and this time they adhered to his fortunes, until hewas declared the candidate of the party. Such an attestation of conti tence from the Domocracy of Virginia vindicates the political character of James Buchanan from tho captious criticism of personal prejudice. It is idle to pretend to dibtrust the soundness uf a Statesman, in whom the Democracy of Virginia recognize a worthy representative of their scrupulous fidelity to principle. . . Gratified, at last in their long cherished aspirations, and summoned to the support of their chosen candidate, the Democracy of Virginia will respond- to the nomination of James Buchanan with an enthusiasm which will secure a majority never given to any other nominee of the party.

Several speeches were made and near the conclusion of an .address Mr. Buell happened along accompanied by friends. He was invited to address the crowd and complied. During his speech he commented upon Know-Nptbingism, and was frequently interrupted. Some person from Ohio propounded several interogatories to the speaker, which he answered pleasantly and cheerfully, until he was grossly insulted by the interrogator calling him damn liar and a son ot a b h.
