[From th© Constitutionalist & Republic.] jt The Three Platforms Compared. ym Jlß’ Edit©r : Our Southern Know Nothing friends ‘Ware frying to make a groat deal of fuss nbout a certain Mplatbmi otl lho slavery question, which 1 heir own South’ );n Delegates, with the assistance of the Delegates from w ork, passed at tlieir late Convention at Philadel phia. Now, while this Know Nothing Platform is not rs ns tlw Georgia Platform, it is hardly as good, and uly no better, than the late National Whig and Na tonal Democratic Platforms. The Know Nothing recr Jutions ceriainly lack the boldness of expression of both the A Jiig nnd 1 Umocratie resolutions in relation to a sore sub ject to (he North, the Fugb've Sl.ave law 5 for while the toriner makes no allusion to the Fugitive Slave law, by iisuie, both of the latter expressly named * his law, so much bated by Northern fanati \ But let the several Platforms sperk tor themselves—here they are, viz: Know Nothing National Platform. XII. The American parly having arisen upon the ruins and in spite of the opposition of the Whig and Democrat ic pari Us, cannot be held iu any manner responsible fo.i ihe obnoxious acts or violated pledges of either. And the systematic agitation of the Slavery question by those parties having elevated sectional liostili.y into a positive dement of political power, and brought our institutions in to peril, it has theretofore become the imperative duty ot a fie American party to interpc.se, for the purpose of giving |) ace to the country and perpetuity lo the Union. And as experience h?s shown it impossible to reconcile opin ions so extreme as those which'separate the disputants, and as there can be no dishonor in submitting to the laws, the National Council has deemed it the best guarantee of common justice and future peace, to abide by and maintain the existing law’s upon the subject of Slavery, as a final and conclusive settlement of that subject in spirit and in substance. _ . #. And regarding t he highest duty to avow’ their opinions apon a subject so important, in and stinet and unequivocal terms, it is hereby declared, as the sense of this National Council, that Congress possesses no power, under the Constitution, to legislate upon the subject of slavery in the States where it does or fnay exist, or to exclude any State from admission into the Union because its Constitution docs or does not recognise the institution of slavery’ as a part of its social system; and especially pretermiting any •expression of opinion upon the power ol Congress to es tablish or prohibit slavery in any Territory, it is the sense 0/ the National Council that Congress ought not lo legis late upon the subject of slavery within the Territory of the United States, and that any interference by Congress with slavery, as it exists in the District of Columbia, would be a vio tion of the spirit and intention of the compact by which the State of Maryland ceded the District to the United States, and a breach ol the National faith. Democratic National Platform, 9. That Congress has no power under the Constitution to interlere with or control ihe domestic institutions the several States, and that such States are the sole and pro* per 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 re lation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences; and that all such efforts have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people, and endanger the stability and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any iriend of our political ins'Mulions. Resolved, That the foregoing proposition covers, and was intended to embrace the whole subject of slavery agi tated in Congress, and therefore the Democraitc party of the Union, standing upon this national platform, will abide by and adhere to the faithful execution of the acts known tis the compromise measures, settled by the lost Congress —the act lor the reclaiming of fu£ itives from service or lobor included, which act, being designed to carry out as express provision of the Constitution, cannot, with fidelity thereto, be repealed or so changed as to destroy or impair its efficiency. Resolved , That the Democratic party will resist all at tempts at renewing in Congress or out of it, the agitation of the Slavery question, under whatever shape or color the attempt may be made. Whig National Platform. 8. The series of acts of the 31st Congress, commonly known as the compromise or adjustment, (the act for the recovery of fugitives from labor included,) are received and acquiesced in by the Wiiigs of the United States as a final settlement, in principle and substance, of the subjects to which they relate, and so far rs these acts are concern ed, we will mainyiin them, and insist on their strict en forcement, until time and experience shall demonstrate the necessity o! further legislation to guard against the evasion of the laws on the one hand, and the abuse of their powers on the other—not impairing their present efficiency to cariy out the requirements of the Constitution—and we deprecate all further agitation of the questions thus settled, as dangerous to our peace, and will discountenance all es ’ forts to continue or renew such agitation, whenever wherever, or however made—and we will maintain this settlement as essential to the nationality ol the Wing par ty, and the integrity of the Union. “ 1 Here are three Plat-rms—the first adopted by the Southern l)e -‘gates, with the assistance of New York, at the late Know Nothing National Convention at PhiladeL P . t' lo sec °nd adopted unanimously at the last D-mio crane iV.t'ona l Convention • and the third adopted bv the last Tsatonal Whig Convention, (3G Delegates voting against it. And l would rsk the unprejudiced reader if m U x? nS aVe aQy bfetler than those of till ei ot he old parties ? Nay more, are they even as bold and emphatic as tile other two, even though but one North ern btate m c nnrnittee, voted for them at the late Know Nothing National Convention. ? But our Southern Know Nothing friends sav • “Oh A? uy 1 ‘n’T n WaS , S ° “ ood for ,he South, ’ that the Abolition Delegates from the 12 Northern and Western States seceded from us, alter we passed them !” They did di<! they ?—then so much the worse for your asso cu non with them. For if their withdrawing from your Convention proves anything, (even without any other evidence) it proves conclusively what we anti-Know Nothings have all along said about your Northern Know Nothing brethren, viz : that they are worse AbolifE* ** ts f h %' e e . l er i he f° rc had position, or Poicer in unyof the Aorthern and Western State* And L does ,t prove it ?

And this is indeed a pretty National Organization for the South to look to for justice, or a protection of its rights 1 For my own part, I pray that the South may ever be deliver ed from any such a “National Ornanization,” be it called ultra DemocraPc. \\ big, Know Nothing, or any other nafiK. Then what is the use of Southern men keeping up t ueh an organization any longer ? Have they got noth ing better to do than be trying to run down and perse cute a few foiegners and Ca'tholics in the Southern States? There are but 5 or 6,000 of Catlo’ies and foreigners in Georgia, with a population of about 1,000,000 —and there are but about 300,000 foreigners and Catholics together in the whole South, with a population of 8,000,000 or 9,000,000. They are all true and loyal to the South and her institutions. Then why make war upon them ? Is it because they are few and harmless ? If so, this perse cution of this w’eak class among us, is surely not magnan imous, nor characteristic of Sort ern ehciaoter.Aud it has now been proven in the late Philadelphia Conven- tion, that the Native American or Know Nothing party in at least twelve of the Northern and Western States is now composed of, and controlled by the most violent Ab olitionists and Freesoilers, so far from we of the South joining them in their cruside rgai s: the Catholics and foreigners there, sound policy would seein to dictate that we of the South should extend our sympathy, and “aid and comfort” in the highrsl degree to the Cathoii. sand foreigners at the North who are against them ; and we should use them, if we can, to pat down those native born traitors at the North, who are now plotting day and night to destroy the Constitution and the Union, and who are now plotting day and night against our property and our lives. * J Don t \ou think l am right, Air.

Worms!—A great many learned treatises have beeu written, explaining the origin of, and c’aesiljing the worms generated in the human system. Scarcely any topic ot medical science has elicited more acute observation and profound research; and yetpbysicians are very much divi ded in opinion 011 the subject, it must be admitted, however, that,alter all, a inode ot expelling these worms, and purifying \} e b( ! d / from their presence, is of moe value than the w isest disquitions as to the origin. The expelling agent has at length been iouiul l)r. M’Dane’s Vermiluge is the much sought at ter specific, and has already superceded ail other worm med icim s, its efficacy being universally acknowledged by medical practilioneis. - Purchasers will please be careful to ask for DR.

The best evidence that, can be adduced in favor of the efficaciousness of Hoofland’s German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, is the uuprecedent demand for them from all parts of the Union; and although there may be many com pounds prepared and represented as being worthy of a liberal patronage,yet we feel constrained to remark, that the vast num ber of testimonials with which the worthy doctor has been honoied, by persons of the highest character and respectabil ity, xvho found it necssary toFave recourse to his preparation, is testimony sufficiently conclusive, that a more effectual rem edy tor the almost imm: diaie relief of those afflicted with that direful malady, dyspepsia, has never been discovered. This invaluable medicine mav be puichased ofallthe Drug gists in Columbus and of Dealers generally throughout the United States. june2B—wtw2w For Bronchitis, Throat Diseases, Hacking Cough and the effects ol’ imprudent use of Mercury, no medicine has ever been discovered which has effected such cures as Carter’s Spanish Mixture. * Throat Diseases produced by salivation.

Three Boxes are sure to cleanse the system from Boils; often less than one does it. Two Boxes have completely cured the worst of ulcers on the legs. Small doses seldom fail to cure the Piles. One dose cures the headache arising lrom a foul stomach. Strong doses often repeated expel every worm from the body.

Dear Sir:—l send you this to certify to you that your Ex tract of Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla has performed one of the most wonderful cures on me that has ever been effected on m n. I have been afil'cted for forty yea’s with eruptions on my legs and feet; in 1848 they got so bad that 1 rad to go on crutches, and In 1849 Iliad one leg amputated above the knee. In about nine months after my other leg .broke out in large eatingand running sores from my knee to my foot, and dls- \ charged a great deal of offensive matter. My groin also broke out in large biles, A hich discharged much offensive matter,and at toe same time my left hand broke out in large running sores nearly to my eibow. The misery that I have suffered for the last, two years I can not describe to you. 1 was in such agony that 1 neverrested day or night. In October last my son brought me one of your bottle wrap- ; pers; I ref and it, and found record of some wonderful cures performed by your “Extract of Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla” 1 sent and got two bottles of it. and'commenced taking it. In two weeks, to my great astonishment, *n;y sorer, all became ea sy,and I could sleep ail night, a thing l had not done lor tw y _rs* When I bed taken six bottle?, my sores had nearly ai! healed. My sores got well as if by enchantment. I have now used in ail eisrht bottles of your “Extract of l r el!ow Dock and Sarsaparilla,” and now consider myself well. 1 entreat all of the afficited to try this medicine, for I believe it will cure any known disease in the world. Lay aside ail prejudice* and just try it, and proclaim fits great worth to suffering mankind aud entreat them to take it, for it will cure them. My case is well known in a large portion of South C arolina, Georgia and Alabama, and if any should doubt the above cure,l invite them to*call on me, aud I will show them the scars, f can be found in Tallapoosa County Alabama, one ; mile from Stoe’s Ferry.
