want of ual Physical exercise alone can insure physical health A precious to mind cannot tabernacle in a healthy body who would take the last cent of of an bread These however must be as the a kind of moral monstrosity every phase of lis produce must be therefore rather to the depravity of the heart than to the halcyon farmer life The man who will be a the plow it is frightful to plate what he been

platform on the Slavery question differs a hairs the creed which no later than ten years ago great parties avowed is simply with Slavery in the Stales tension of Slavery into territory now free That's the whole of the ter compressed into the smallest possible space And that the Re- publicans will maintain and defend that platform in power or out of power the experience of the last three years in Congress in the local in Republican tions speaking authoritatively for the party is as strong a guaranty as can be given What Wore do our old Whig friends Their papers tell us that a union of op- position forces is a thing most to be desired hat the government at Washington may be taken out of the hands of the plunderers by whom it has been seized but that concessions of extreme positions on the part of the Republicans have been demanded and expected as an indispensable prerequisite Will some of these gentlemen at the North who profess to stand by the political maxims of Henry Clay lake up the Philadelphia Platform of or the Bloomington Platform of the same year and tell us the work of expunging shall begin Shall we be asked to strike out all sentences in reprobation of the repeal of the Missouri Com- promise authorship of which was Mr Clay's proudest Shall ive be told that nothing should bs said of the usurpation in Kansas that Mr Clay would have branded as statement of the Bi-
