WINFIELD SCOTT,
Of New Jersey.’

WILLIAM A. GRAHAM,
Of North Carolina.
The Two PlatfoI'm's, No. 4.
The third article of the Loco Foco platform
is as follows: '
“The Constitution does not confer nutlioitity
upon the federal overnment, directly or indi-
rectly. to assumethe debts oftlie several states
contracted for local and internal improvements
or other State purposes; nor would such as-
sumption be safe or expedient.”
To this doctrine every \Vhig would sub-
scribe, and it has ever been it prominent poi'-
tion of Whig construction of the Constitution.
both in word and deed. But how is it with
ilie sham “Democrncy" of modern times .7
Why. at this very moment, a billis before Con-
gress. for assuming $5.000.000 of the slate debt
of Texas. — This bill is supported by the whole
Locofoco stifengfli, in the National Legislature,
and will be passed by Locofoco ' votes. How
idle for a party. thus by its acts giving the lie
to its words, to talk of trusting in the " intelli-
gence of the American people I”
The fourth "Deiiioci'iitiE" resolution is an
attack upon American Industry, and we shall
consider that: subject in another article. The
fifili, sixth, seventh and eighth heads of the
same platform are composed of it tnass of
clnplrap about economy, Banks, and the dec-
laration of Independence, and were only intro-
duced into “the crecrl," as a bait to catch gad-
geons. To insult: the common sense of the
nation, in this year of our Lord 1852, with
such utterly inane verbosity, would be beyond
the reach of any thing except Loco Foco im-
pudonce.
“'6 come now to those portions of the two
platforms which refer to the Fugitive slave bill
both parties are agreed in the the sentiment.
that Congress has no power to 'intet'meddle
with the slave holding institutions oftlie Soutli,
but with regard to the fugitive not, there is a
wide and radical diffcience. Locofocoism ex-
alts tliat, _ not into a part of the Constitutzion.
The Bill shall never be altered or repealed,
never, never, such is the sentiment of the Deni-
ocratic creed. \Ve deny, we repudiate, we
spit upon. we utterly loiitlie and abiior siicli
doctrine; we believe slavery to be it wrong
and it social evil; we believe that in God’s good
pi'ov.itlence, it will some day be removed front
the land, and when that day shall arrive, we
believe that this country will be fair happier
and more prosperous. than at any earlier period
of her liistogy. Believing this how can we ac-
ceed to the liorrible doctrine that this array
of fines, and penalties and imprisonmeuts, of
chains and guards, and rendition to slavery is
to beforcrer kept up in free Anierica? We
do not. we will not. even though the bands of
partyibo burst asunder.
But we are of opiuioii that tho Wliig resulti-
tious embrace the true sentiiiieiit which ought
to itnimate the breast of every citizen. \Ve
“receive and acquiesce" in that Law. we will
see that it is fiiitliftilly enforced, “until time
and c.i:pci'-iencc shall rlenionslrafc the necessity
offu'rfhcrlegi°.slafion." The words in Italics
are quoted from the Whig Baltiinni-e Resolu-
tions, and. to us. they indicate the true ground
on which the party stands. \Ve ciiniiot. we
never have. and we never will assent. to a doc-
trine which implies flint this glorious land is to
be forever darkened with human bondage.-—
\Ve are no faiintics. ‘We have read, and read
with indignation, the ebiillitinns of professed
"Free Soilcrs," but real disuniouists, and we
place the men or women either who write, and
print, and publish such tretisounble trash, in
the same rank with the disunionists of South
Carolina and Mississippi, and we nltviiys foiiiitl
flint the niit.uriil propensity. of either of those
factions is to Loco Focoism. Let it N0l'll)°l'I]
State become largely infected with what are
called “free soil sentiments,” and it immedi-
ately tnkes its place in the Locpfiico ranks ;
let it Southern State be overrun with “Stiite’s
riglits” men, “Secessioiiists," Disunionists, and
its vote ts sure for any Locofoco c.'indidtite.—-
The W'liig party adopts no such extreme
ground. It will see that existing laws are
maintained and enforced, but will keep earnest
wittcli for the coming of the period. when every
earthly evil shall be so for mitigated as the
laws of Divine Providence will permit. The
\Vliig party will not consent to declare slave-
ry it perpetuity; we will do no wrong against
the rights Ofilllfl South, we will not int.orfere
with their institutions, but, at the same time
we will not be told by any party North or
Soutli that we must cease to hope and to pray
for the final and utter extinction ofsla very eve-
rywliere. and for the speedy coming of that
time when the gorgeous banner of our country
——east, west, north, soutli—sliall wave only
"O’ei' the land of the free.”

Conversions to Locofocoism.
Certain N. Y. papers are indulging themselves
in clironicliug the names of iipostates from the
Whig ranks, and among the rest of the perverts
reference has been made to Messrs. Hnrral <5;
Calhoun, of Brirlgeport, in this county. It
would lirirdly do for the advocates of Locofoco-
ism to talk of this matter in these it-.gions——foi'
a more mean, contemptiblc, selfish, utterly sor-
vile apostacy than that of the two persons above
named, we have never known. Harral 6:. Cal-
lioun are inanufucturoi's; their products are got

being fearful of losing it portion of their custom.
though already rich. they abandoned the ‘Whig
party because it would not follow the example
or the “ Dernocriicy,” in abusing itself to the
dust before the feet of Disunionists. So pet'-
fectly is this understood that Messrs. H. 65 C.
might at once place on their shop the placard,
“ Saddles and Principles to be.sold liere, cheap
for cash." lfDenioci'ats do not desire to make
their pnrty nu stench in the nostrils of the land,
they will do well to say no more about such
converts.
We notice, by the. way. that little Billy
W right of New J ersey. a sort of pill‘,lll6l', we
understaiid, of Hiirrnl 65 Calhoun, has gone over
witli them. \Ve are thankful for that, though
the news is almost t.oo good to be true. lfsucli
language could be properly used with regard to
it very small pebble. we should say that Billy
has been a mill-stone around the neck of the
\Vl1ig party quite long enough.
“ Our Harbor.”
Ourjuvenile friend on tlieleft thinks that our
remarlts regarding Hon. 0. S. Seymotir and
the “ Democriitic” doctrine of River and Hat'-
bor improvements were entirely “ uncalled for,"
and enquires whether we arlhere to the Wliig
principle that such iniprovements ought always
to be national in their character. “'8 reply
empliiiticiilly, we (lo, mid we insist that the im-
provement of the navigation of the M ississippi.
the Missouri, the Ohio, and also of Norwalk
and Bridgeport .lli'tl'l)0l‘S are national in their
character. This is the precise point. of differ-
ence between the Locofoco and Wliig parties
upon this subject; we claim that such improve-
ments are national, that commerce etiters our
ports, not from this State alone. but that from
Maine to Georgia the various products of dif-
ferent States are brotiglit liitlier. Nay more
than that, we know that to our port are brouglit
rlircclly the pine of North Carolina. the cool of
Pennsylvaiiia, the merclinntlize of New York,
the lumber of Maine, and the gypsum of Nova
Scotiii ; how dare any one say then that the
impi'ove.ment of this liiirbor is not it m1.ti'on.al
object. ? Yet: the Deinocrnt declares that it is
not, and admits that no appropriation for such
it purpose can be hoped for from the lncofocos.

E?‘ \Ve saw the above in the Demor-.rat of
last week, and having c. friend who sometimes
attends “ the club," we resolved to learn what
was done at flint mysterious assembly. The
following is his account of the affair:
“ I arrived at Stevens’ about 8 o’clock, but
found no one else there. In about lin.l_f no limit‘
the editor of the Democrat entered. Then
came in it wortliy gentleman of Dutch descent
who lives on East. Avenue. accompanied by the
“ Rooster.” This seemed to be the extent of
the club. The editor was called upon to make
known the “2'n,LporIan.t in/‘or-nafI'.on" spoken of
in the notice, when he pulled it number of the
Democrat: from his pocket, and commenced
reading aloud his leading article. Long before
he got tlirough, both his auditors were asleep.
Towards the end, however, there was some
slander upon Gen. Scott. at which his lieiirers
wiiked tip. He then inforuied them that if was
it part ofthe established system of " llieparty/"

He said he expected every moment it youth
who was to vote for the first time in November.
He had hardly finished when a stout. intelli-
gent-looking young man came in. and looking
around. wanted to know what -was going on, as
he had been asked to come up tliore. ‘* Oh!’-’
said our neiglibor, with it great deal of suavity,
" we thought you might like to join the Pierce
and King club. Capital chance for it young
man.”
“ Not l)y.tl thundering sight!” said the young
man. “I o for Scott and Graham, thick and
thin ; fl-iey’ll be elected too, and liere’s ii small
pile to bet on it. if you like ;" and lie drew out
it well-filled pocket-"book. at sight of which
“ the club" adjourned in dismay."

g-?‘ii=i‘r‘.' Qt-ville Hatch, of Franklin, in
this State, says the Hartford Courant,'. has‘
become insane, be having devoted consider?
able attention to the subject of spirit rap-
pings.- Mr. Hatch left home on Saturday
last, andhis friends fear that he will coin-
init suicide, as he, previous to his departure,
represented that he had received a message
from the spirit of a man who had commit-
ted suicide, urging him to leave the world.
Mr. Hatch is a farmer, and has been,instru-
. mental in introducing many important ini-
provements ~' in pgriculturc into the town
where he resides. He was also an officer of
the New-England Poultry Association, and
at the last exhibition_._in. Boston, his collec-
tion of fowls was very large. and valuable.
The number of those made insane by the
spiritual phenomenon is increasing every
day, and in view of this fact it becomes those
who investigate the cause of the manifesta-
tions, to be guided by the lawsof reason and
nature. S

Steamboat Collision on.Lakc Erie.
Great Loss or Life!
.Eitiir, Friday, Aug. 20, '52_—1O A. M.
_‘ The steam'er.‘Atlantic‘ _came in collision
with the..propellor Ogdensburgli, at two
o’clock this morning, and suck in about half
an hour.
A dense fog prevailed at the time of the
collision.
‘ The steamer Clayton has gone to the
wreck. All the passenger saved by the O5-
densburg had nothing _ on but their night
clothes. _ ‘ V
The loss of life from the ‘Atlantic is esti -
mated at two hundred and fifty persons-—
while about a like number were taken on
board the propeller, which was leaking bad-
ly. but they succeeded in reaching this port
with her.
The emigrants, who could not understand
a word spoken to them, by their cries and
terror added to the horror of the scene.
The cabin passengers, and all who could
be made to understand, were exhorted by
the Captain and oflicers to remain calm, and
provide themselves with chairs, settees, beds,
&c.. all of which were patent life-prescrvers
and would buoy them up in the water.-
Nunibers, however, unlieeding, and not un-
derstanding the advicc given them, rushed
overboard to certain death.
At about 212 o'clock, amid the wild
sbrieks of the passengers, the steamer settled
and sunk.
* The propeller had kept in ilie wake of
the Atlantic, and those on board her did all
in their power to preserve the lives of the
hundreds of human beings who were now
seen struggling in the water.
The fog was a sad hindrance to their ef-
forts, butsome ‘.250 were rescued from the
Lake and taken by the propeller to Eric. A
large number left at once on the Sultana
for Cleveland; others came down in the
cars this morning.
From the best information we can gain,
we are led to believe that some 300 lives are
lost. How many precisely, it is impossible
at present to say, but it is thought the loss of
life has been principally confined to the poor
emigrants, who, although life was of con rse
as precious to them as to the, wealthiest of
our citizens, will not leave so many amongst
us to lament their untimely deaths.
The emigrants were Norwegians, who
came through by Lake Ontario steamers
from Quebec, and about 75 or 80 of them
were left oti the dock, the agent refusing to
suffer them to go on board. They now
mourn the loss of their friends. There is
reason to hope many may yet be saved on
life preservers, with which the boat was well
furnished.
The passengers were all in bed, and the
first mate was on duty.
immediately after the collision, which was
very severe, the utmost confusion prevailed
among the stcerage and deck passengers. a
very large portion of w liom were Norwegian
emigrants, and several, it is thought, in the
terror and darkness that prevailed, jumped
overboard at once.
The steamer kept on her course, the offi-
cers hoping to be able to reach port, although
the boat was leaking badly. The water,
howevler, gained rapidly on them, despite the
efforls ofthe crew, and by the time they had
proceeded apout two miles from the spot
where the collision took place, it was found
that the vessel was rapidly sinking—thc. fires
in the engine room being extinguished bp
the water. A scene of terrible confusion
lollovi ed.

Wards, owners nfthe Caspian, lately lost at
Cleveland. She was valued at $80,000, and
was not insured.
