Serenade of the Persiau Lover.
BY ELIZA 1.03 AX.
The sighing winds go softly by,
The Pleiades winter up the sky—
Oh! Ziiiah, haste to me.
The cloudless moon her way ia wending,
The Ichneumon hn wail is sending
Over the silvered sea.
The Sepoy in his bark is sleeping,
Pale Europe's son his ward is keeping,
Hark! to his measured tread.
The wearied seed is in his stall,
Murmurs the distant waterfall,
Upas their poison shed.
The fire-flv flickers in the fen,
The sated Puma seeks his den,
’Uhe famined wolf his lair;
The Moslem vesper watch is set.
And hark! from Mosque or Minaret
Is peeled the hour of prayer.
TheGapoe from yon tree is screaming,
The Lamergcyer of blood is dreaming—
Hears’t thou the Jackall’s whine?
The iow breeze rises o’er the sand,
The whispering wavelets kiss the urand:
Starlikot ’—the voice is mine.
The hour invites to love—for thou,
Zillah. haetak’n a virgin vow
To follow only me.
My caftan thus aside I fling,
And to thy trellis’d bower 1 spring—
And I’li bear thee o’er the sea.
Now haste, in yon inlet my pinnace doth wait,
Impatient to bear off so glorious a freight;
Haste! Pcrii pause in their heavenward flight,
To bathe their toiled wings in the dews of the night;
But chid by a star-flash their course they pursue.
And leave this bright world—/© your lifer and you.
Philadelphia Mass Meeting of the Know Nothings.
Philadelphia, June 16—10 P. M.
The Know Nothing mass meeting, in Independence
Square, was very large and enthusiastic. Three stands
were erected, and the Mjuare was crowded with delegates,
bearing banners and transparencies. Jacob Broom pre
sided at the principal stand, and several gentlemen from
the West and South have spoken, and been received with
great enthusiasm.
It commenced raining about half-past’nine, but the rain
m. de no impres-ion upon the dense mass of people, in the
way of diminishing the numbers attending the meeting.
Ex Governor Brown, of Tenn., was-the first speaker.
He alluded to the platform, and denitd its being pro
slavery, merely saying that slavery should be governed by
the States where it exists.
Resolutions endorsing the platform were read by Col.
West, and p..ssod unanimously.
S. I. Mallory followed, and made a very earnest and
eloquent speech, which the audience, notwithstanding the
decending rain, stood patiently listening to.
Col. Bolling, of Virginia, was the next speaker, and oc
cupied flic attention of the m ‘ts in front of the principal
stand up to ten o’clock, until w hich hour delegations kept
pouring into the square, with music, and banners bearing
appropriate inscriptions.
Kenneth Rayner was loudly called for, but did not re
spond.
The rain is I'.iHing so heavily that it must soon disperse
the crowd. The meeting is generally conceded to be the
largest ever assembled in Independence square, and, under
v,\ sting circumstance#, proves that Sam is about aud no
mistake.
The Platfoini ol llie American Parly.
At a regular meeting of the National Council of the
American party, begun and held at Philadelphia on the 9ih
June, A. D. 1855, the following was adopted as
The Platform and Principles of the. Organization.
I.—The acknowledgement of that Almighty Being who
rules over the universe—who presides over the councils of
nations— who cinducts the affairs of men,and who, in ev
ery step by which we have advanced to the character ofan
independent nation, has distinguished us by some token of
providential agency.
Ji —The cultivation and developement of a sentiment of
profoundly intense American feeling; of passionate attach
ment to our covntry, its history and its institutions; of ad
miration for the purer days of our national existence; ol
veneration for the heiohm that precipitated our revolution;
and of emulation of the virtue, wisdom aid jatriotism that
framed our constitution, and first successfully applied its
provisions.
111. —'lhe maintenance of the union of these United
States as the paramount political good; or, to use the lang
uage of Washirifcton, “the primary object of patriotic de
siift.” And hence:
1. Opposition to all attempts to weaken or subvert it.
2. Uncompromising antagonism to every principle or
policy that endangers it.
3. The advocacy of an equitable adjustment of all
polit'eal differences which threaten its integrity or per
petuity.
4. The suppression of all tendencies to political divis
ion, founded on “geographical discriminations, or on the
belief that there is a real difference of interests aud views”
between the various sections of the Union.
5. The full recognition of the rights of the several
States, as expressed and reserved in the constitution: and a
careful avoidance, by the general government, of all inter
ference with their rights by legislative or executive action.
IV. Obedience to the Constitution of these United
Slates, as the supreme law of the land, sacredly obligato
ry upon all it? parts aud members; and steadfast resistance
to the spirit ot innovation upon its principles, however spe
cious the pretext-* Avowing that in all doubtful or disputed
points it. may only he legally ascertained and expounded by
the judicial power of the United States.
And, as corrollary to the above:
1 A habit of reverential obedience to the laws, wheth
er National, State or Municipal, until they are either re
pealed or declared unconstitutional by the proper authority.
*2. A lender and sacred regard for those acts ol states
manship which are tube contra-distinguished from acts of
ordinary legislation, by the fact of their being of the nature
of compacts and agreements; and so to be considered a
fixed and settled national policy.
V. —A radical revision and modification of the lawsreg
ulating immigration,and the settlement of immigrants.—
Offering to the honest immigrant who, from love of liberty
or hatred of oppression, seeks an asylum in the United
States, a friendly reception and protection; but unqual
ifiedly condemning the transmission to our shores ot felons
and paupers.
Vi.—The essential modification of the Naturalization
Laws.
The repeal by the Legislatures of the respective States
of all laws allowing foreigners not naturalized to vote.
The repeal, without retr -active operation, of all acts of
Congress making grants of land to unnaturalized foreign
er?. and allowing them to vote in the Territories.
VII —Hostility to the corrupt means by which the lead
era of party have hitherto forced upon us our rulera and
our political creeds.
Implacable enmity against the prevalent demoralizing
system of rewards lor political subserviency, and of pun
ishments for political independence.
Disgust for the wild hunt aftor office which characteriz
es the age.
These on the one hand. On the other:
Imitation of the practice ol the purer days of the Repub
lic, and admiration of the maxim that “office .-hould seek
the. man, and not man the office;” and of the rule, that the
just mode of afceriaining fitness for office is the capability,
ihe faithfulness, and the honesty of the incumbent or can
didate. ‘ ■
VIII —Resistanceto the aggressive policy and corrupt
tendencies of the Roman Catholic Church in our country
by the advancement to all political stations —executive, le
gislative, judicial or diplomatic—of those only who do
not hold civil allegiance, direct y or indirectly, to any for
eign power whether civil or ecclesiastical, and who are
Americans by birth, education arid traimug—thus fulfilling
the maxim,“Americans only shall rule America.”
The protection of all citizens in the legal and proper ex
ercise ot their civil and religious rights aud privileges; the
niaintainance of the right ol every man to the lull, unre
strained and peaceful enjoyment of his own religious opin
ions and worship ; and a jealous resistance of all attempts
by any sect, denomination or church to obtain an ascend
ency ov-r any other in the State, by means of any special
privileges or exemption, by any political combination of
it? members, or by a division ol their civil al.egiance with
any foreign power, potentate or ecclesiastic.
]X—The reformation of the character of our national
Legislature, by elevating to that dignified and responsible
position men of higher qualification?, purer morals, and
more unselfish patriotism.
X.—The restriction of executive patronage—espec ally
in the matter of appointments to office—so far as it may be
permitted by the constitution, and consistent with the pub
lic good.
XL—The education *f the youth of our country in
school? provided by the State, which schools shall be com
mon to all, w ithout distinction of creed or party, and free
from any influence of a denominational or partizan char-
inasmuch as Christianity, by the constitutions of
nearly all the States, by the decisions of the most eminent
judicial authorities, and by the consent of the people of
America, is considered an element of our political system;
and as the Holy Bible is at once the souree of Christianity
ami the depository and fountain of all civil and religious
freedom, we oppose every attempt to exclude it from the
schools thus established m the States.
XU—The American party having arisen upon ths ruins,
and in spite of the opposition, of the whig and democratic
parties, cannot be held in any manner responsible for the
obnoxious acts or violated pledges of either. And the sys
tematic agitation of the slavery question by those paitie9
having elevated sectional hostility into a positive element
of political power, and brought i ur institutions into peril, it
become the imperative duty of the American
party to interfere, for the. purpose of giving peace to the
county and pe: petuity to the Union. And as experience has
shown it impossible to reconcile opinions so extreme as
those which separate the disputants, and as there can be no
dishonor in sub uiiting to the law's, the National Coiicii has
deemed it the best guarantee of common justice and oi hi
lure peac to abide by and maintain the existing laws up
on the subject of slavery;as a final and conclusive settle
ment ot that subject in spirit and in substance.
And regarding it the h ghestdutv to avow their opinion?
upon a subject so important, in distinct and unequivocal
terms, it is hereby declared as the sense of this National
Council, that Congress possesses no power under the con
stitution, to legislate upon the subject ot slavery in the
States w here it does or may exist, or to exclude any State
from admission into the Union, because its constitution
does or does not recognize the institution of slavery as a
part of its social system: and expressly pretermitting any
expression ot opinion upon the pow er of Congress to estab
lish or prohibit slavery in any territory, it is the sense of the
National Council that Congress ought not to legi?late upon
ihe subject of slavery within the Territories of the United
States, and that any interference by Congress with slavery
us it exists in the District of Columbia, would be a viola
tion ot the spirit and intention ol the compact by which the
fcState of Maryland ceded the district to the United States,
and a breach of the national faith.
XIII:—The policy oi the government of the United
States, in its relations witMoreign governments, is to ex
act justice from tiro strongest, and-do justice to the weak
est; restraining,by all the power of the Government, ail
it? citizens from interference w ith the internal concerns oi
nations with whom we are .Uf.eace.
XlY\—This National Council declares that all theprin
ciplcs of the shall he henceforward everywhere op
enly avowed: and that each member shall be at lioerty to
make known the existence of the Order, and the fact that
he himselfis a member; and it recommends that there be
oc concealment of the place oi meeting of subordinate
Councils,

The Balt of the Abolition D3logato3—Separate Plat
form.
PuiLADELPi ia, June 14,1855.
There was a bolt this morning. The Northern delegates
to the Council met at 8 o’clock, at the Girard House, f r
ihe purpose of organizing a Northern Order. Hon. Henry
Wilson was called to the Chair, and 11. M*Allen, of Ohio,
was appointed Secretary.
Hon. J. W. Foster, of Mava.,'presented the following
platform, which, after having been read, was signed by the
ettizens of the several States, as below:
PLATFORM.
TO THE TEOTLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
The undersigned citizen? of ih/ various States assembled
at Philadel| hia on this 14th day of June, 1855, feel con
strained, under the existing Kate of affairs, to affirm the fol
lowing principles:
First—The unconditional restoration of that time honor
ed Compromise known as the Missouri Prohibition, w hu h
w'as destroyed in utter disregard of tho popular will—a i
wrong no lapse of time can palliate, aud no plea Gr it? con- i
tinuance can justify; and that we will use all constitutional j
means to maintain ihe positive guarantee ol its compact
until the object for which it was enacted has been eonstim- j
mated by the admission of Kansas and Nebraska as free
Stales.
Second—That the rights of settlers ’in Territories to the
free and undisturbed exercise of the elective franchise guar
anteed to them by the laws under which they are organiz
ed, should be promptly protected by the national executive
whenever violated or threatened, and that we cannot con
ecientiously act with those who will not aid us in the cor
rection ot these national wrong?, and will not even permit
their fair consideration and full discussion.
Third —We further declare our continued and unaltera
ble determination to use all honorable eHurts to secure such
a modification of the naturalization law?, aided by such el
evation ol public sentiment as shall preserve the true inter
ests of the nation, and shall guarantee these vital principles
of a republican government—spiritual freedom and Bible
schools—thereby promoting the great work of Amercaniz
ing America.
Fourth—That we invoke the arm of legislation to arrest j
that growing evil, the deportation by “foreign authorities i
ol paupers and convicts to our shores; and that, as our na- j
tional constitution requites the chief executive of our coun- j
try to be o! native birth, w f e deem it equally necessary and
important that our diplomatic representatives abroad should j
also po3sessno foreign prejudices to bias their judgment or
influence their official action.

Know Something National Convention—Gathering cf
Abolitionists at Cleveland—A New Political Party
in the Field, &c , Ac.
* Cleveland, 0., June 13—A. M.
The train j nnd boats witlmi the last 24 hours have
brought to this city a large body of nu n from all parts of
the North and West. They are quartered at he Augier
and Weddell hotels, and arc* evidently upon sue p- ht
icai business. They look like men of energy and ability,
and represent a 1 the old parties, and embrace some of
tie leading Know* Nothings in ihe free States. Several
slave States are represented—among them Virginia and
Kentucky. It is rumored ab ut town that a national
convention of Know Somethings is to he holdiu to-d:>v.
Half Past Four O'clock, P. M.
A national convention of Know Somethings, consist*
ing of delegates Horn all the Northern aud Western
States, is in session in this city.
lion. John VY. Stebbins, ot Rochester N. Y., is pres
ident.
The body inet at Sons of Temperance Hall, and, in
consequence of thedarge attendance of delegates, had to
adjourn to a more spacious place. Their deliberations irc
strictly private. It is rumortd that the body is already
quite powerful outside the tiave States, and has entitt
eontiol of the free States. Several slave States are r<}
resented. Freedom and Protestantism, without regard
tp party predilections, complexion, race or condition of J
life, is the gist of the platfoirn.
They are making the most out of the anticipated dis
solution of the Know Nothing Convention m Philadel
phia General Wilson and ex-Governor Boutwell, o!
Massachusetts, are expee ed here to*Jay. The best of
harmony prevails. JVlassaehhscNts is largely represented.
A pi it for in will be constructed for the Presidential cam
paign upon which it is believed the whole X rib and
West will rally.
The Convention has appointed three comm ttecs, each
consisting of one from each State represented —the first
to draft a platform of principles, the second a ritual, the
third a constitution.
The Committee on Platform have leen hard at work
all the afternoon, and may !>e able to report this evening.
There has been considerable discussion in the convent! n
relative to the question of temperance. Some desire to
make it a strong plank in the platform : but the general
feeling is that no specification on tlat point should b
made in the national platiorm, except that it be recom
mended as a virtue, and that it be left discretionary with
ihe several States to dispose of as they may deem expe
dient. The ritual will be brief, embracing but one de*
£ree, Tho body will organizer* a confederation of States
[TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE.
and it is suggested that it will bear the name of the ‘‘Re*
publican Party. *
The reports from the several States shqw that this new
org mization is progressing with rapid si rides, and already
has po-session of aliout five of the Northern, and two of
the Western States.
Eight O’clock, P. M.
The news of the ndoplion of the pro-slavery platform
by the Know Nothing Convention at Phiiadtlphia, was
! eceived in the Convention this afternoon with much joy ;
ir was considered the death knell of‘‘Sam” in the United
States, and the beginning of Jonathan’s triumph.
Among ihe leading spirits in the Convention* are IT.
Griswold,.Jobn Paul and J. C. Vaughn, of Oh’o; Wm.
S. Damreil, P. Emery Aldrich, G. B. W<ston, C. W.
Slack, E. F. Junks and William Stowe, of Massacbu*

Smith Hobart, A. M. Beaker and H..G. Bliss, of MicbK
gan ; 11. C. Johnson, and others, of Pennsylvania ; J.
M. Burgess, of Wisconsin, and others.
Nearly all the States represented have .a delegation
equal to the number to which they are severally entitled
in the lower hoa-.c cjf Congress. The demonstration is
large and enthusiastic, aud is loc-ktd upon as one that
will have a most important bearing upon tho ensuing
Presidential contest.

1. Where a deed to land refers to a plot of re survey
for the rr. >.s aud Ih>us ds but does not of itself, suflieien’y
identify the plot: Held that parol evidence maybe ad
mitted fotlint purpose.
2. Where a witness was originally the warantor cf li
tie to belli parties, and one of them, by operation of law
and without mala ftdes , releases him ujxin his warranty
—he thereby becomes interested to sustain the title of the
other warrantee, and cannot be called as a witness for
him.
3. Au nvtvanee of land in the adverse po3scsson of
a third person is absolutely void.
4. Where a guarantor conveys land to whit-h lie has
no title and subsequently he obtains title to the land, un*
der our registry laws—the title does not enure to ihe ben*
ttii of the first grantee as against a subsequent grantee
from the common grantor.

1. Tne offencef ‘Adulury’ and Fornication,under
cur code, is the illicit ink recurse of a married person nnd
a single poison ; and ly the very terms of the code, liny
may be severally indicted, and hence the indictment may
elntge either one with the offence of “Adultery and Fcr

2. A charge that tho .Jury should be satisfied of guilt
‘ to a reasonable certainty,” is sufficiently correct.
3. The rule as to reasonable doubts , is the same in
minor os in graver offences, aud should be given in charge
to ihe Jury when requested.

The True Obstacle to Southern Union.
It is well that this Philadelphia Convention has been
held. It ri always best to know ihe truth and to have to
look it full in the face. The South now sets plainly that
there is no national party save the National Democracy,.
Southern, Whigs, Southern men, Southern Patriots, now
see and rccogn ze this fact in the proceedings at Philadel
phia. Some honest men among us may refuse to believe
that the Democracy c *n ever rally again on their Bakimoro
plats. rm, [ u.d that remains to be demonstrated next year];
bat it i- clear tlnse persons cannot trust longer in the na
tioiiality o: any political organizition besides the National
Demo*, racy. We believe the Democracy will again vin
d cne their nationality. They will reject the councils of tho
Union newspaper urging to non-committalism on the
slavery question, and will rtassert their adhesion to tho
existing laws, their unalterable purpose to stand by tho
doctrine of Congressional bon intervention in the affairs oi
Slates organ z and and organizing, and to maintain actively
the rights of .-l ive States and slaveholders under thegu ir
ant< cs of the Constitution. The National Democracy will
do this, and then there is but one source from which de
feat can overtake ih .nt, after they have done it, and that
is in this Know Nothing Order.
At the Sr*uih. :lie* obstacle is this very Know Nothing
Order which is assailing the Democracy in every slave
State. There is no hope for the National Democi&cy in
the next Presidential contest unless they carry every
Southern Sta:c and two or three Northern Statu—such
ns Nr\v Hampshire, Illinois, and another of the North®
western States or two. What is striviug to prevent —what
can prevent the success of the Democracy in the whole
.**outh but til's know Nothing party ? And w hat, tin ro
for;*, must be* t!i sole eff et of the Know Nothing move
nt nt at the South but to prevent the only national party
now left in the Union, from preserving the control H the
government nnd of the dvsritties of the country ? This is
the position in which the Southern Know* Nothings find
themselves. They are striving to beat down the only na
tional party in the Uni- n, iu the very section of the con
federacy in which all depends upon its carrying every
Sate. *
At the North, also, it is this Know Nothing Order'that
Constitutes the oniy insuperable to prevent
the National Dem craey from carrying a number of States
sufficient, with the whole South, to secure the government
and save the Union. The National Democracy can beat
the Abt>liti nists at ihe North—as they have done over
. and oter again. Tin y can beat the Abolitionists and
t Whigs c in'ntud —as thty have done repeatedly. lhy
j can beat the Abolitionists, Whigs and the Fret soil Demo
crats, tl <nkod by the anti riiquoritcs and isinites, all—as
they have done often nnd signally. But there is a lost
feather that breaks the camel’s back. They cannot bent
.he allied army of Fofciouitts reinforeid by ihe Know Noth
ings, shouting, down with the Catholics, down with the
foreigners —Richmond Examiner.
Gone To Buy Iron.
Among the passengers by the steamship Alabami yes*
t rd.ty for New York, was Dr. James P. Screven. Presi
dent of the Savannah, Albany ami Gulf Rai'road. Hi*
mission is the purchase of iron h r the track of the road
from this city to the west bank of the Alatamaha. lie will
probably sail for LtverfM in the steamer which leaves
80-ton next Wednesday,
The rapidity with which the work on the road is pro*
greasing, makes it important that the least practical delay
hhall occur in the purchase of the rails and their delivery at
this port.— Jour. Cf Cour. % 14/A.
