Tuesday Morning* Juno 6, 1800.
Fence Jumpers.
The gymnastic feats performed by
some politicians and editors since the
adjournment of the Charleston Conven
tion are truly wonderful as well as ex
ceedingly amusing.
We were surprised to see that Ex.
Gov. John A. Winston, of Ala., was on
the very opposite aide of the fence from
that on which he stood while in Charles
ton* and be seems to have vaulted
clear over without even touching. He
now denounces the seceders, and goes
in heart and soul, hand in hand, with
Mr. Forsyth for non-intervention and
Squatter Sovereignty. When the ma
jority report was adopted by the sece-
der’s Convention in Charleston, he bolted
because the resolutions did not go far
enough. He insisted that they should
demand protection now, for there was a
necessity for it, and he cited the aboli
tion laws passed by the Kansas Legisla
ture as an instance.
The political world is stage up
on which nothing but farces are act
ed.
Senator Iverson and the Baltimore
Platform.
Mr. Iverson in n recent letter to the
Columbus Times, alluding to re-openir
the question of platform at Baltimore
saysIt is objected by some to the
reassembling of our delegates at Balti
more, that as a platform was adopted
by the Convention at Charleston, that
question is settled, and that it cannot
be opened at Baltimore, or the plat
form altered or amended. This is
great mistake. The official proceedings
of the Convention show that the plat
form was adopted, but the further con
sideration of the subject was not closed.
To have done so, under the rule of the
House of Representatives, under which
it acted a motion to reconsider should
have been made and that motion laid on
the table by a vote of the Convention.
Ho such proceedings took place, and the
whole subject is yet open for considera
tion and final decision. The platform
itself may be considered by a majority
vote."
Unless we are greatly mistaken, the
proceedings as published are at fault, or
Mr. Iverson has fallen into an error
concerning them. Our recollection is
very distinct, that Mr. Stuart of Michi
gan did move to reconsider, and moved
to lay that motion on the table, which
was carried. This question then cannot
be again opened at Baltimore without
unanimous consent, whlbh will never be
given. How it is expected to alter or
amend the platform we cannot con
ceive.
Mr. Calhoun on Squatter Sovereignty.
“Its (the general government’s)
power and authority, having for its ob-
cct the more perfect protection and
promotion of the safety and rights of
each and all, it is bound to protect, by its
united power, the safety, the rights, the prop
erty, and the interests of the citizens of all,
wherever its authority extended. That was
the object for conferring whatever au
thority it has, and if it fails to fulfil
that, it fails to perform the duty for
which it was created. It is enough for
it to know, that it is the right properly
of a citizen of one of these States, to
make it its duty to protect it wherever
it comes within the sphere of its
authority, whether in the Territories, or on
the high seas, or anywhere else. Its power
and authority were conferred on it not
to establish or abolish property, or
rights of any description, but to protect
them. To establish or abolish belong
ing to the States, in their separate sov
ereign capacity—the capacity in which
they created both the general and their
separate State governments. It would
be then a total and gross pervers’on of
its powers and authority to use them to
establish or abolish slavery, or any
other property of the citizens of 'the
United States, in the Territories.^ All
the power it has, in that respect, is to
recognize as property there whatever is recog
nized as such by the authority of any of the
States, its own being but the united au
thority of each and all of the States,
and to adopt such laws for its regulation
and protection as the state of the case
may require."
Could there be a more explicit,
pointed or clearer expression of oppo
sition to Territorial sovereignty than
this? And yet. says the N. Y. Day
Book, Mr. Stephens uses Mr. Calhoun’s
great name in such a way as to lead
people to believe that he endorsed Mr.
Douglas’ inconsistent and untenable
hobby.—Savannah News.
The Mancfatuiu.no of Mosaics.—A
letter from Rome, in the Rochester
Democrat, gives the following account
of the manufacture of mosaics at the
Vatican faccory. “The mosaics copies
of celebrated pictures, which are now
almost the only ones which adorn the
interior of St. Peter’s, are the produce
of this manufactory, and are far superi
or to the ancient mosaics. The ancients,
besider their inferiority in painting,
show no delicacy of shading, or such
variety of coloring ns has been obtain
ed in modern times. The material used
for these mosaics is artificial stone, of
which 20,0U0 different shades are used
No one but a real artist, however one
might at first imagine, can excel in such
work. It was interesting enough to see
a workman with a picture of enormous
size before him, working for hours in
the selection and fitting of one little
piece of stone into the mosaic which is
to be its copy. The large mosaics, ei, ‘
teen feet in height, which adorn St.
ter’s, have some of them twenty-five
years of the labor of several artists. It
seems to me that, rather than under
take so endless and unproductive a task
I would be the slave of a silver mine—
and yet the perfection of the work is
wonderful. At a little distance it is
impossible to tell it from an oil paint
ing, and it is next to indestructible.
Tlie-mosaics of the Roman churches
still last, while the churches themselves
have been changed in almost everything
else except the solid walls.”
Senator Pugh on the Seccdcrs and Mr.l
Donglns. I
Mr. Pugh continued to controvert the
arguments of Mr. Benjamin on this
joint. He said that the rupture at Char-
cston grew out of the fact that J udge |
Douglas, having incautiously said he
would not allow his name to be used in
case a certain platform was adopted, the
the friends of all other candidates uni
ted to construct a platform on which
he could not stand. That was the ad
ministration game, and the South was
gotten up proposely to accomplish this
end. Mr. Pugh then assailed the re
liability of Louisana, Texas, Oregon and
other States claimed ns Democratic,
which called up the Senators from those
States, who severally made explanations.
He wanted the Richmond Convention
to nominate their candidates. They had
no business to come to Baltimore, and if they
came, he would sit and vote till the 4th tif
March to keep them out. Men who voted
for Stephen A. Douglas fifty-seven times,
would not get tired of continuing to do
so. The gentlemen of the South had
made the issue. The had made it a
question of personal honor, and so it
would stand. The North would not
submit to dictation from the South, os
to their principles and selection of can
didates. They would not level them
selves in the dust at the bidding of anyj
set of men. Mr. Dougtas was now the
impersonation of Northern honor. His
enemies had made him greater than hisj
friends ever could ; they might kill him at
Baltimore if they chose, but his friends ivouh
carry his bleeding carcass to the Northeast,
and show him to the young men coming to cast
their votes, and tell them this is the author of
the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and this is South
ern gratitude.
The Houston Movement.—Another
Richmond in the field. The friends of
Sam Houston, in New York, are deter
mined to run him in spite of conven
tions and newspapers. A Houston mass
meeting is called to take place “i round
the statue of Washington,” in Union
Square, on Friday evening next. Among
the speakers announced is the Hon. A.
J. Hamilton of Texas, who was an
nounced by the Douglas men for their
meeting last week. Which way, Mr.
Hamilton, Houston or Douglas ?' The
San Jacinto movement” appears to
throw Bell and Everett in the shade in
the South West. Several of our Texas
exchanges notice muss meetings in dif
ferent parts of the State, nominating
Houston.. There is a prospect that the
Opposition voto will be handsomely
divided in the Soutii, which is so much
the better for the Richmond nominee.

Kansas Bill.—The bill for the admis
ion of Kansas is likely to be defeated,
’'ho Senate Committee on Territories
,re amending the House Bill by an atte
ntion of boundaries, which will never
the House. Even if it could, it
would require such action by the people
of Kansas as would preclude her admis
sion before the Presidential election.
jgy-The Boston Courier says of the
Republican nominee for Vice-Presi
dent !
“He never had an original idea, and,
for his purposes, did not need any. He
is not competent to write good English,
ns his Message, when he was Governor
shows. As a stump-speaker, when he
wus an ultra Democrut, he was notori
ous for indulging in a low, blackguar
ding style. Everybody in Maine knows
that. Hi

Failure of a Requisition—Tiie Gov
ernor of Ohio on Slave Property.—
The Memphis Argus says:
“A few days ago we briefly mentioned
the arrest in Cleveland, Ohio, of Kenne
dy, who eloped from this vicinity some
time since with a young unmarried la
dy, having also in charge six or seven
valuable slaves, the property of his wife.
Shortly after the arrest Gov. Harris is
sued a requisition on Gov. Dennison, of
Ohio, for Kennedy, who was to be
brought back here to answer the charge
of ’ negro stealing. Deputy Sheriff
Swan, of this city, was dispatched for
Kennedy, but Gov. Dennison refused to
obey the requision-, not recognizing slaves
as property, and the officer returned yes
terday without his prisoner.
BgyThe New Orleans Delta says:—
“l'o understand Douglas’ weakness in
his own State, it must bo remembered
t'latin his late contest with Lincoln,
though he succeeded, by stumping eve
ry portion of the State, in carrying fl
majority of the Legislature he was in a
minority of five thousand on the popu-
1 ,r vote. As the President is elected by
a popular and not a Legislative vote, it
is plain that unless some very remarkar
bleand inexplicable change should take
place Douglas could never carry Illinois
against the Republicans.”
Judge Marvin vs. Judge McGrath—
The crew of the bark Wildfire were
brought beforo Judge Marvin, at Key
West, on the 18th instant, under a writ
of habeas corpus. A motion to discharge
was refused, but all were admitted to
to bnil. The Key of the Gulf, adds i
‘The Judge declined construing the
law of 1820, making the slave trade
piracy, but intimated that lie should
dissent from the recent opinion of
Judge McGrath, of South Carolina, and
that he was now of the opinion that,
when the negroes came on board of an
American vessel on the coast of Africa
they were free, though they were slaves
in Africa, which is in accordance with
the opinion of Judge Story in tho case
of U. S. vs, Battish, 2 Sumner Rep."
JS£g"Tho Kinebroker says, that a few
duys prior to the decease of Washington
Irving, he received a letter from Pauld
ing, who, speaking ot their declining
years, remarked ,- “Irving, we are run
ning a race, and it remains to bo teen
which of us shall win the prize.”
figyAt a meeting of the Democrats
of 11th Congressional district of Massa
chusetts on Tuesday last, resolutions fa
vorable to Douglas were unanimously
passed. Both delegates will now vote
for him, which will be a gain of one
vote.

The Extremes.—Tho fire-eatin
nals of tho South declare John Bell to
be an abolitionist, and tho Republican
journals say he is as pro-slavery as Yan
cey. Even tho St. Louis “Democrat,”
with the Lincoln flag up, makes the
above record, and says:
“On this issue of slavery he has a re
cord which must be much more accep
table to tho pro-slavery party than the
platform adopted at Charleston ; and
m tho event of Douglas’ nomination,
ortho nomination by the next Baltimore
Convention of any Northern man we
see nothing to prevent the Tennessee
statesman from receiving the undivided
support of that party."
Love in Humble Life.—In East Bos
ton recently, was borne to the grave.—
The husband and lover was a young
mechanic of twonty-three. They have
loved euch other from childhood, and
were to have been married some six
month ago, when she was prostrated by
consumption. About.a fortnight beforo
hor death, she had only one earthly,
our- w j s jj un g ra tified ; she desired to bo unit
ed to him who had loved her so long
and so truly, in the hope of being liis
in heaven! He could deny her noth
ing—he married death! Bolstered up
by pillows, and supported in the em
brace of her mother, she was united- to
her lover. Her feeble voice was hardly
audible, in responding to tho questions
of tho marriage ceremony. She was his,
and said she could die without regret.
From t'.iem until she passed away was
unable to speak above a whisper, but
she appeared happy, and thougn wasted
to skin and bone, a pleasant smile left
its impression on her face, as her soul
roturned to God.
