the result of fraud and treachery. Now
for one we are led to believe there was
neither the one or the other brought to bear in the matter. But these grumblings of Bro. Soule are the natural effects of the defeat of a cherished idea. The fact is that a majority, to say the least—of the members of Terre Haute lodge infinitely prefer the Philadelphia platform—which is National, to the Indianapolis platform—which is sectional. And tho' not perfect in every particular they are willing to support the former, as emenating from the head of the order.
At a former meeting it was agreed to exclude the whole subject of slavery, and the delegate to the State Council— from Vigo County Council, was so instructed. The State Council met and seceded from the National Council—

ed and it is needless to pretend for a moment, that some action on the subject was not expected. Moreover the most
prominentof those favoring the Indiana platform were there, with the exception of Bro. Soule and perhaps one or two others. These resolutions were introduced, and discussed, and the opposition must have seen that a vote would be taken on their adoption. Why did they not apprize their friends of the fact and rally their forces, or why did they not ask a postponement of the matter until their friends could bo brought in.

MOMDAY, JULY 23, 1855.
The Terre-Haute Platform and the Express. In the Express of Saturday, ro. Soule gets off a half column article on the subject of the Platform adopted, last Thursday night, by the American lodge in this city—and more than hints that it was
at Indianapolis had been form

Indiana platform? The bare idea of such a
the
thing is preposterous. There
were and are objections to the National platform, and the majority was willing to compromise the matter for the sake of the minority. But when the State Council attempts to impose upon us a platform far more odious we can not hesitate a
moment in chosing between
two. It was to be expected that Bro. Soule would feel somewht sore at this decision, which he fully manifests, by so charitably
styleing the majority
"the slave party'*
and
such
"enemies of freedom"
like epithets. If Mr. Soule
means by ^enemies of freedom—those who prefer the Union
of these States,
the perpetuation of our glorious institutions of republicanism, and the happiness aad prosperity of our 20,000,000 of white populations, to an unattainable and doubtful advantage to our 3,000,000 of Africans, then we would glory in the name of enemies of freedom.
It is time the nation was waking up, to look this thing fairly in the face, we have been driven to the verge of desolution and ruin'once and again by this slavery agitation. Even the

may be, and probably is a misrepresen tation, but that a respectable majority, embracing many of the most talented and patriotic citizens, are in favor of it, is no misrepresentation.
AM/I
Senator Sumner and Eobert J.
Breckenridge.
Sometime since, the illustrious Senator who fills the place of Webster and Everett, in the Senate of the United States, made a strong Abolition Disunion speech, at Niblo's Theatre, New York, in which he used strong menaces of the sword and faggot towards tke South. The Cincinnati Columbian, of Saturday, contains a reply to him from Hon. R. J. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, in which the latter boldly says that the first appearance of such
Pn effort on the part of the North win

100,000 brave men in the South,
who will give the Hon. Senator a warm reception, and, moreover, gives him to understand that if any movements of the kind are perceived, on the part of the North, the South will not wait for an invasion. Mr. B. talks very dispassionately, yet very plainly on the subject, and says he abhors the institution of Slavery and has done more to ameliorate the condition of the African race than they both have done for the benefit of the Anglo-American race. This will be the final issue of the slave question, unless some providential interposition occurs. We are no alarmists— but for twelve years our National Congress has legislated almost exclusively for the benefitof the 3,000,000 of slaves in our country to the neglect of her

been left unredressed and even in this state of things if we ask for a cessation of agitation, we are met with the cry of "Dough-Face"—"Slave Party"— "Nigger-Stealer." We would rather bear these epithets, now, than to meet the execrations and curses of a ruined and subverted nation, whose downfall had been brought about by our encroachment upon the rights of others.
Kansas Legislature.
We learn by our exchanges that immediately after the meeting of the Legislature of Kansas, a bill was introduced to adjourn from Pawnee to meet at the "Shawnee Manual Labor School" on the borders of Missouri. Governor Reeder vetoed the bill, but it was immediately passed over his veto. The object of this movement is clearly apparent—to be in reach of those scoundrels from Missouri, who may thus be able to influence the action of the Legislature. President Pierce has rendered himself loathsome to all rightthinking men by his apathy to the repeated outrages committed by Atchison and others, and, now, will seal his infamy, no doubt, by suffering the citizens of Missouri to influence the Legislature of Kansas.

The wound thus received

The Indiana Journal endeavors to saddle upon the American Party, in the coming contest, the Prohibitory Law, and all the heart-aching desires of the most ultra Anti-Slavery men of Indiana, and, in doing this, forgets the original design of the American Party. We feel free to say that, this order was never gotten up with the view to make its members mere tools in the hands of party cliques, or party demagogues. The original design of the order (if we understand it properly) was to ignore all political subjects. This is evident from the fact that Whigs and Democrats unite in the glorious reformation—a reformation which will exterminate all political demagogues, and all wholesale politicians who deal in foreign influence to accomplish their mean and dastardly selfish purposes. In this we unite heart and hand in this channel we will continue, step by step, until the object is accomplished—selecting our candidates from the best of material, leaving it with them to choose issues with their opponents.
This attempt to make the American Party carry the agitation of Slavery, and hitching on the Temperance Law, and other issues, has already made a gap in the order, and if forced to the ballot-box, you will not see many gaps after the result is known—but you will find the fence down, all around the supposed impenetrable fort. The original American Party—not the one that met at Indianapolis on the 13th—have no inclination to sacrifice their purpose for the mere gratification of the hardheaded fanatics of the North this will never be done, and they need not ex
