“ Vdmlsslon of (tie Softs.” 1 lie following, Irom the Savannah News tin Independent Democratic paper, is worthy! of a Vending by ail true Southern men. It is I truth titly spoken, and shows the source of much of the boasted soundness of Northern' Democracy : “ * l |u telegraph has brought us a synoposis of tlie platform laid down by the National! Democratic Convention, yet, as these reports are imperfect, we shall abstain from comment uutd they shall have appeared in a full and au thentic lorm. There is one point, however, that IS complete in itself, and to this we beg leave to call the attention of Southern men.— We allude to the admis ion of one half of the Soil Shell, or Irecsoil delegation front New l ork. to seats, and an equality of rights in the Convention. I iiesc men, for the greater part "t the last eight years have had no connection j with the National Democratic party, but have been engaged in a wild chase after abolition philanthropy. They abandoned Cass, the Dem ocratic nominee in 18-18, and went off under the leadership of Ma tin Van Huron, and from that day to this have been engaged in a con stant and bitter wivfare against the South and her institutions and n tierce opposition to ev ery northern mail who was di-posed to regard the constitution and uphold the Union. They have more recently shown their hostility to conservative principles by denouncing the Kan sas-Ncbraska hill, a measure which, from the r beginning, has received their uncompromising detestation and contempt. During all this period these Softs, or Van Duron Harnburrtcrs as they have been termed, have held no regular connection with the Dem ocratic party proper, but have only tempora rily allied themselves with its fortunes when a profitable bargain was offered as the induce ment. The last few months have witnessed an instance of this-base surrender of their cherish ed principles in order to conic in for a distrib utive share of the spoils. Their burners have been bung out for the last twelve months with “ Down with the Nebraska bilk” and " No more extension of Slavery ” inscribed upon them, and yet at the approach of a Presidential nominating convention, tiiey met at Syracuse, and to meet the emergencies of the occasion, hypocritically pretend to repudiate all they had said and doiic on the question of slavery. These are the men—these latter-day Democrats, whom hunger and thirst have driven to the acknowl edgement, of the truth and the adoption of cor rect principles—that have been admitted into full fellowship and as equals with true and law abiding men, in the great national council of the Democratic party. Does it; not look as though they had determined to carry the elec tion, without regard to the agencies by which it is to be accomplished ?” The Amrriran Platform—-The Compromise Os 1850—The Kansas-Ycbraska Art. The American Platform adopted by the Na tional Convention last February, in its 7th section, pledges the American Party to the support and maintenance of the doctrine ot nun inter . '-tit ion on the subject of slaveey by recognizing “the right of the-native born and itaturaliz.-d citizens of the United States, per manently residing in any territory thereof, to frame the , co .stitution and laws, and to regu late their domestic and social affairs in their own mod:.-,” with •■the privilege of admission info tie- Union whenever they have the requi site population lor one Representative in Con gress.'' Should the American Party have a majority in Congress, and Kansas ask for ad mission into the Union with a Constitution recognizing and permitting si a eery as a domes tir instdul.on in the new State, she would he prminify admitted—no question would be made by the American members as to the pro priety of admitting her as a slave State, be- X. urn ■ they would represent a party which ac knowledges the Tight of the people of u territo ry, in forming u Slate government, to determine tor themselves, without interference from oth ers. the character of their domestic institutions. This principle is derived by tne American Par ty from the Compromise Measures of 1850, approved ami made eflectivo by Mr. Kid more. Ji is to be found in flic Nmv Mexico and Utah territorial nets. The XTimers and Secession- j ists of the South and the Aboikioiiists of the North opposed aur. denounced it at the time. I and the excitement they got up is too recent to ! lie forgotten by the patriotic Union men who sustained it, mid uph-id Mr. Fillmore, and the members el Congress who accepted it as an Olive ‘r. ; uof prune. Hut at a later day tins prlii-J, which had quieted agitation and come to bo regarded, in the language of Mr. Fill in ire as a "limil sei tlcineiit" of the sectional is- sues between the North and the South, was en grafted upon the Kansas. Nebraska Act, but in cnnwction with the repeal of the Missouri restriction which bad been regarded as a sol emn compact and covenant between the slave holding States, by the leading minds of the country, and by the patriotic, honorable mass es almost unanimously. The criminal connec tion of a good principle with an act deemed by ouc section of the Union a flagrant breach of good faith, caused the former, to a great extent, to be lost sight of altogether. There has, h iwever been time for reflection, and dis crimination is doing it3 work, slowly indeed, but surely Numbers who coincided with us in our disapproval of the policy of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, although they se in the uitn ilurnl f uls which are disgracing Kansas, and bringing reproach upon our rc publican institutions, the inevitable consequen ces of that mo-.t useless and unfortunate piece of legislation, are willing to acquiesce in it.— There can be no restoration of the Missouri restri tion 'Hie deed ha?ing been cmg immut •(*, It must stand, like the skull of the pirate ele vated at the fork of the roads, a warning to all future evil doers. It is the bar sinister on the shield of American Statesmanship—there it must remain till future good deeds obliterate the memory of its ingloriousness. Aequisccd in, discriminating judgement is leading the pat riotie to contemplate and recognize the goood, principle with which it was associated— tie principle of non-intervention. Although this principle, as enunciated in the American plat form, is identical with that in the Kansas act, and declared in almost the same language, as an opponent of the repeal of the Missouri res triction, we shall support it. We shall do so because it is the principle of the compromise of 1850,and because it is the true policy ol our government—the only peaceable solution of the controversies between the North and South on the question ofslavery. It is the pol icy which the Whig party in the South when Andrew Ewing, in 1850. declared tin y were .•sounder on the question of the Union of the States than the Democratic parti/, supported with zeal and alacrity, in company with Maj. Donelson, our candidate for Vice Presidency, and thous ands of other loyal union democrats. It is the policy against which the Nashville Dis union Convention thundered its anathemas, which drew from Oheve.s thetreasonoblespeech Wherein he denounced the constitution of the United States as a ‘-foetid mass of corruption,” in the adoption of which Aaron V. Arown de clared his • heart would break sooner than re joice,” and in which the senoir Editor of the Union If American swore he would "never ac quiesce.” It is tiie policy which saved the Union once, and is destined we b lieve to save it again, if any thing can save it from the dan gers which arc in prospect. What though the political mountebanks, the office hucksters, and the plotters of dis-union in the Democratic I ranks, have seized upon it and, for the nonce.! are endeavoring to use it to save their party ! from utter annihilation /—Let them support it if they choose, but let not the Union men of I 1850. the true const rvativos, the best reliance of the country, be thereby driven from their old position. It is riot the part of wisdom to! cast aside that which tS good because evil men embrace it. A true Christian loves his Bible | all the better if, others, who have once denied iis precepts, accept It as 6f divine origin, al though he may corideffiii the motive, if irnprop ; or, that prompts them.— Shelbyville Exporter.' 4 The Hero ol lVicaragna. The gwltarit deeds performed by General j Walker in Nicaragua, will compare favorably with the victories achieved by warriors in olden times. Since the hour when he landed with lilty-six followers his actions have been equally courageous in times of adversity. The dillicul ties that he has surmounted would have been fatal to one who did not happily combine with in him valor, faith, and a rare adaptability to circumstances. The Sonora expedition had gained for General Walker the name of tillibus ter , but since lie entered as a soldier of fortune into the service of the liberal party in Nicara gua, no action of his hears the slightest resem -1 blance to fillibusterism. As the couutrymen of his Scotish ancestors. Admirable Crichton among others, have always been ready to offer their swords where honor could be gained, so with him but he has kept within the letter of the law. and purged his name from the early stain of being connected with movements of an illegal nature. It was this fact that should alone have been sufficient to induce Mr. Fierce to recognize the Rivas-Walker government immediately after it was established. Thanks, however, to Walker’s self-reliance and indomitable energy, the clouds that hung over his future career have tieen dis persed. and he has succeeded not only in crea ting order out of disorder, bat iii subduuing a vain glorious and blood-thirsty invading army. The Costa Ricans have been severely chastised for their presumption and brutality, and have returned to their homes cowed and humiliated. The invaders of Nicaragua were guilty of acts of sevage cruelty ; death was declared to be the fate of all who came near their path, and from the atrocious slaughter of unarmed prisoners at Virgin Bay. it is evident that they would have fulfilled their threats, had tiiey pos sessed the power. No doubt, General Mora ’ will now abjectly sue for peace ; but bis past conductdotis not entitle him to receive mercy at the hands of victors. The glorious future that General Walker I has ensured to Central America Cannot be too j highly estimated. The American foot is now; | firmly planted on the soil, and the sloth and! j barbarism of ages must speedily disappear I at-: j fore the arts ofcivillizntioii. A country that! ! lias been degraded by the mean contests of suv-! ages, and its riches allowed to run to waste, will now become a source of wealth to people from every clime, ami a home to our people Central America is the high road to Mexico,] and we think there is nothing improbable in the supposition that, it may be the destiny of Gen. Walker to carry peace to that unhappy land. Asa son of the South, he will be at home in either country, and under his auspices the institutions of hit native State might flourish there.— Chron. fy Sen. Tilt?

Jeakiii* on the Presidency'* Mr. Editor. : Bein«r certain t hat even a mea gre report will be interesting, I will endeavor to present the main points ol a speech dclivt r ed at the Superior Court of Jefferson count}’, on Wednesday last, by the Hon. Charles J. Jenkins, at the request of the American par ty • The speaker said »’he old W hig party, with which many of those present and himself were formerly associated, had been disbanded. The; Deitincftiiic party —a great, and respectable or ganization—against which himself and his friends for a long while ardently (ought, were still in the field. Another organization had sprung up suddenly and with surprisingeUicien- ! ey, styled the ‘ Know Nothing” or American party. Tnere was also, another called •* Meek Republicans” about which he should have lit tle to say as it was generally condemed at tic j South. He belonged himself to no party. Now, the ques ion is frequently asked, where ' shall we go ? Shall we go into the democracy? j Me would not advise those of the American party, who were formerly democrats. He did not think they would feturn, because they had so recently left it. He would address himself to the Old Line Whigs. For himself, he could not go into the Democ racy. That party contended that it had not changed and he conceded the fact. And in as much as he had always fought against it, he could fiot now adopt it. Just here I scarcely thoilght the Speaker allowed sufficient weight to the new circufiistan ces about that party. As to the American party, he had not from the beninning liked its secrecy, its oaths and religions intolerance. ‘Twas a bad precedent. It was true, however, that the fir«t hail (he be lieved) been thrown aside and the last modified. It had adopted a platform on the slavery ques tion—knOtvn its the 3 2th section—satisfactory, as was also the Democratic platform on that subject. Afterwards that 12th section had been stricken out by a Geceral Council. Still all this rrtiglit go for nothing had they accom panied the nomination of Mr. Fillmore with a; suitable platform. This they did not do.— And in his opinion there was *no National American party upon which the South could re 'y’\ But yon wont goto the Democrats. What will you do? Vote flbt Ms. Fillmore? Mr. Fillmore, he s i id, he respected and highly ap preciated. Since his reirtement, however, nfew questions had arisen, upon which lie had not published bis views. He (lectures himself fa vorable to maintaining the present status of congressional legislation on Ibe subject of slave ry. He felt pledged to this course, by the ac tion of (I understood) the Convention at Md ledgeville, which appointed delegates to the Philadelphia. Convention of Council.* But, said he. if that should be done, there is still another and an almost insuperable ob jection to bis supporting Mr. Fillmore, and that was the nomination of Andrew Jackson Donelson for the Vice Presidency. Here the distinguished and able speaker ridiculed his qualifications for the office, and evidently dis relished the bitter taste of the Democratic pill. He seemed to forget that the Democratic Americans required such medicine, and wished to deprive them even of that, because ti hs.l not the taste of that same "old coon,” He made some excellent remarks upon the prudence of selecting a proper man ibr that office, in view of the death ot the president, and illustrated them by contrasting Mr. Tyler'S Ad msmstration and Mr. Fillmore's. He sugges ted that, should Mr. Fillmore declare pioper sentiments upon the slavery question, and an electoral ticket be gotten up in Georgia, some other man, than Donelson, ought to be run for the V ice Presidency. But what shall we do if Mr. Fillmore does not so dcclure himself? Stand still? It was not necessary, he said, for his person al comfort to belong to any party. He could wait. Is he was right in what he said, he could not go to the Democracy. Those who I thought him wrong why Jet them go. And if! right in wliathcsaid 03 to the American party, he could not support that. Yet those who) -thought differently might join it. By way ofwarmng, though notso in term?, he said, that many others perhaps, like himself, occasionally felt inclined to act with the Amer icans just to pitch into the D raocracy. But circumstances might urise which would cause them to regret such a step ; by uniting against the Democrats they might Itecome so entang led as to find it difficult to right themselves. I have not been able, perhaps, to follow the order of the speaker’s argument, and much less his language. His positions, I think, are fair ly stated. It was not a setspeeeh; but un ex pression of his views reluctantly to his old Iriends, at their request. His speech was a plain, earnest and honest expression of his senti ments ; and in that view must have excited the admiration of his audience. June 6.1856.

The disturbance in the Democratic Convent ; tion this morning was occasioned by the Ben ton Delegation from Missouri, which the Na tional Committee had refused to recognize.— They made an assault upon the door-keepers and rushed into the main passage of the Hall About the time that they got fairly into the Hall there was a vigorous display of pugilism, and several persons who opposed the Benton jt.es Were k,'lockeddown, but amid cries of shame, the bold band of Missourians marched down the ailse and his friends gist seats—shame, or-1 and r and other cries prevailed tor It few minutes, j and the Convention proceeded with its business, j A favorable opportunity occurring the leader of the Bentonites endeavored to address the chair, (us our reports shows.) wher the chair man rcl used to recognize Inin, and with his j friends he bowed to the decision of the Con-; vent ion and retired.

Com. Mr. Martj—Lord Clarendon—-Curious Disclo sure- In the foreign news by the steamer at Que bec, in reply to some interrogatories touching British interference in Central America, the Earl of Clarendon is reported to have said : “There lias been no disguise w hate ver w.tli the U. .States Government. The object of the British Government avowedly had been to pro tect British interests. On the nth of March , Mr. Marcy said he entirely disapproved of the existing state)f things in Nicaragua, and thought it hkely to oust a shadow upon the reputation of tlie United States. He observed that he knew no better ptarr of preceding than' for the United States and the British Government to combine for Che protection of the citizens ol the United Stales and the subjets of Great Britain. ’’ What Will intelligent American citizens, who feel any national pride, think of this disclosure. There can be no doubt, if Lord Clarendon speaks truly, that the Administration at Wash ington has been guilty, of an attempt to prac tice upon the American people the grossest dupiiciiy, and deception. The New York Ex press says: We have called this a curious disclosure, — and 1 so" in is. For. while the Washington Union, the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian, ad about all the other Administration organs in the country have been.exhausting the vocabulary for adjectives sufficiently strong to express their detestation of British aggression in Central America,—the leading members of the Cabinet are expressing a desire to go into a sort of part nership. (or "combination,”) against Walker, with that same Great Britain. The game, thus seems to have been.—to “shriek” out loud against "British intervention" at home,—while the key note over sea—in downing Street—was.;t —was.; I "on the contrary, quite the reverse.” I On the stb of March,—mark !—Mr. Marcy ' "entirely disapproved of the existing stute ofi things in Nicaragua.” On the sth of May,l or thereabouts the same Mr. Marcy experiences j , a change of mind, though the • existing state | jof tilings" in Nicaragua was pretty much the j j same as it was at the time he presented his "mu- '• tual protection” plan to her Majesty’s Secreta- j jry for Foreign Affairs. These sudden conver-; sioi.s are extraordinary, to say the least of them. \ and as the case standi' we do not see very well how Mr. Marcy’ in view of Lord Clarendon’s, declaration, can avoid un explanation. Again—on the sth of March, Mr. Marcy! “thought the state of things in Nicaragua was ■ likely to cast a shadow, upon the reputation of I the United States." Yet. something less than two months subsequently, we find Mr. Marcy) writing a very elaborate despatch to the Minis ter from Costa Rica, Mr. Molina, showing that the United States were not. and could not be held responsible for the-state of affa'rs in Nic aragua.” Now, will Mr. Marcy ho good enough to tell us—which are we to believe—> Marcy to Clarendon—or Murey to Molina? Lord Clarendon says there has been "no dis gnis ” with the United Stutes Government— We submit now, whether it is not incumbent upon Mr. Marcy to show that there has been no-disguise”—no double fn’cedness—no double dealing abroad—and at, home—on his part?
