THK I.AMT FI.ATFORrl.The Kri'iw-N'othing party, which arose go

mysteriously and absurdly about the time of tie

passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, has ever

since been exercised and torn by v irioug internalconflicts, and still remains in a state of violentfermentation. Of course, the principal CaVOMof difficulty ig the Slavery question. This is.the chief source of all their woe*. Last Spriii_they held a National Convention, and took a po¬sition on the side of the Slavery cxtensionists.It is fotnid in the famous Twelfth Section oftheir plattbrrn, and is as follows:"The Annricau party, haviujr risen upon the ruins

aud in guts ui ti t >pposit ion of the Whig and Demo¬cratic parties, cannot be held in any manner responsi¬ble for the obnoxious nets or violated pkdgei of either.And the syrlematic agitation of tb»1 Slavery ijiti-stionby thore parties having elcvatedseetiona! hostility i'itoa jw sitive element of political power, and brought ottrinst tu' into peril, it has therefore become the im¬perative duty of the Ann rieun party to t ut ci! e re, fogthe junjKme of giving peace to the ' ottntrv and perpe¬tuity to the I'moii. And as experience hat shown Minipoi-riblo to reconcile opinions so extreme aa thosewhich separate the disputants, and as there can lie nodishonor m submitting to the laws, the National Coun¬cil has deemed it the Vx-st guaranty of coin .ion justiceand of future peaci to abide by and maintain theexi-tii.g laws upon the subject of Slavery, as a finaland onclnsive srttieuitfM of tliat H bjgjct, m spirit undin substance..'And leglllieM it the highest duty to avow th lif

opinions upon n Mihiect >o mipoitant, in di-tinct andnnniuiviK.il tcrmi, it ia hereby il« l»i>-«l, as the sense

.I tins National Council, that Congress m.ss* no

power, nude: the Constitution, to legislate upon thesubject of Shivery in the State- wlur- it dues or may« xi.-t, or to oxelude unv Mate from admission into theFliiell bei ause its ('ulistittllioll does or deVi not reoog-tn/i the in.-tittitiou of Slitvcry aa a part of itssmiasi ff etil and expnsely pivtcriniltiug any expression ofopinion upon i!,«. power of CcgtDMI to establish Of

This was entirely disU-teful to a large body ol

the Northern numbers who opposed it and re¬

volted against it. On Thursday sight the ad-vanced k-uurd of a new National Convention com¬

pleted a stormy session of several days, duringwhich they threw overboard the Twelfth Sectionand adopted tLe following articles of faith instead.To agree ujKUi these two sections, w hieb alone iuthe uew platform refer to Slavery aud the Terri¬tories, will probably be the chief object of themain Convention which yesterday opened itsrnuml BI at Philadelphia. Indeed, the coutc.-ton tins very point ii developed in the opening pro¬ceedings, which are reported iu another column.

"7. The recognition of the right of the native-boraand naturalized citizens of the United State*, perma¬nently re-iding in any Territory thereof, to frame theirconstitution and laws, and to regulate their dornest:.'and social affair* in their own mode, subject only totbe provisions of the Federal Constitution, with theprivilege of aomi-riiMi into the Fniou whenever theynave {ad rojuisite population for one representativein Congies*. IYovncI alwavs. that none but thosewho are citizens of the Fnited Stetes, i'.uder the Con-rditutioti and laws thereof, and what have u §m4 resi¬dence in any such Territory, ou^ht to participate inthe fun; a: n of the Constitution, or in tbe enactmentof iawg for said Territory or State."" 19. Opjioeit ion to tbe r<i-kl»-ss and unwise polity ol"

the present Administration in the general maua^em ntSfsaV national affairs, and more especially as shown inremoving 'Americans' (bt design.irie« and conserva¬tive* in principle) from office, and placing fo-eignei-*aud u!tra:-ts tit ir plai1«.«, [as shown in a truckliugsi:l>MM\ittiey to the stronger, and .nan insol ut andtvwardly bravado towaid the weaker power«; aashown in teopening sectional agitation by the repealof the Missouri Cc»mpromise; aa >hown in trranting tounnatural:/ed foreigners the right to suffrage in Kau-sas ai d Nebraska. as shown in its vacdatln.- rou>eor tbe Kan«as and Nebraska question: a« shown ;ntbe cot nipt ion* which pervade some of the Hepart-mcnts of the Government. a« -l.own iu disgracingmeritorious naval oftieers. through prejudice or caprice;and a- shown in the blundering tuismttnageuient of ourtorcign relatioiiA"

It will be seen that the^ae declarations indorsethe Nebraska bill, and agree to admit Kansaswith or w ithout Slavery. They are phrased In the.ortest terms possible, but whoever reads themcarefully will see that they fully adopt even thingobjectionable in the Kansas-Nebraska bill, andcondemn the only feature of that measure w hichfavored Freedom.namely, the right of the freeemigrant to have a voice against Slavery in theTerritories. Such is tk« new Natioiial Know-Nothing platform.

I* there any need to go further in the w ay of ex¬

posing the position of the Know-Noih ug party ou

the Slave ry question ' We have W n a great adomade over the Twelfth Section at Philadelphia, andbeheld it indignantly repudiated. y( t only to be foblowtd by the above subatitTite. What choice iithere between the Twelfth Section and the newcreed ! Does not everybodv see, wki w isle* to see,that the one portion is essentially as Pro-Slaveryas the other, and that the Know Nothings are actingdirectl) in the interest of the Slave-traders ? Whatodd* does it make that they do not say so in no manyworda T By the necessity of the case they mustbe for or against the spread of ßkuorv, for ^4 M

th- question of tbe time. It ii practical, vital,

argent. Every mxa in tbe Executive or L»gi*la-tire, and we mar »dd. the Judicii! I» ptrt-irent of the General Government, i« culled uponto hate, and it may be N expreas and art

upon, an opin;on touching tbe extension of Slavery.Indeed every public man mint, at one time or

another, be forced to say whether he does or doescot favor it. and whether he will or will n»t ao act

a* to widen the exiating boundaries of ti.ti fellcirse. No party therefore can avoid committingit"< If upon the question. A* thin/s now stand, andas they axe low tending, the whole country is opento Slavery. Not only our uncultivated domain,but Ikfl soil of every Sta.e, according to the chieflaw officer of tbe Administration, and the leadingNorth« rn jurists acting under it* inspiration, isM tothe polluted tread of the slave trader withbis chined gangs of human victims at his h*el*.Wl migLt well »top here to ask Why does ;. 4North present an uahroken front. & ilngle voice ofref-istance to ruch a state of things I At 1-v -t

every man and rrery party must have an

opinion and a course of aetion upon it. Thereis no alternative. It is resistance or ac¬

quiescence. And the party or the man whodoes not oppose it, is distinctly on tba sideot 81avery aud distinctly against F..dun. Sla¬very is in poareaaiOB of the contested Bold, To do

nothing is to leave it there. Acquieao-nco is alltint Slavery need*, and all that its advocate-de-inofN«rtbein men. If the Know-\orhlag party,therefore, is not willing to take a position of active

hostility against the extension of Slavery, it be¬comes ¦ power in aid of the Southern privilegedclaiM a bulwark of their s> stem. In that case itbecomes all that thealareholder* can ask; it is thedeadliest foe of Freedom, for its acts of hos¬tility are covert atid insidious, and in the speciousguise of neutralitv.The supreme purpose of the leaders in the Know-

Nothing rauka is to destroy the cause of Freedomwithout seeming to do so. to bring their party to

support the extension of Slavery without allowingthe Northern masses t" become aware of it. Itis this duplicity alone wh'ch cause« them any ditfi-

culty in handling the great question. Mngthemselves not hoetib- to the spread of Slavery ,

they would avow it in terms and adhere to such a

policy if they did not fear that such a course woulddrive on many Anti-Slavery voters on whom theycount. There is a body of Anti-Slavery men

who have acted throughout with the Kuow-Nothings, nnd have aimed to carry the pirtyto the aide of Freedom. Their efforts wo havewatched always with interest, but never with

hope. These men have already been driven offfrom the main body, by the action of the NationalCouncil in June last, many of them not to return.This last attempt at Philadelphia is. we presume,tin- end of their endeavors to erect within f! a

Order a pn per platform for thi ins, lves and theirfriends in the North. The present effort proves as

bootless as all thathhvo preceded it, and thoy muatnow retire at once di ?comh ted and di-he.irt.ued at

th>- prospect of making the Know-N'o'hiiig fmxtj,even in the North. I party of Freedom. We pre-some the en nt body of ftoat DhOfl.we mean the

really earnest Anti-Slavery men.will now allythemselves with the only organization that affordsany hope agaiiif-t the spread of Slavery and the

pernicious legal dogmas touching it. which are

being fostered into life by the present itruggle.

Judge Capron has displayed a commendable en¬

ergy and decision in the proc'OOLtafl a^gaJnal tl.e

giunblers. He determined to fiui.-h up UsOil c:i>.-

as far as he was concerned before the term clos ed,and he did it. He had probably beard of the oldproverb."If \on want a thing done, do it your-" aelf; if you don't w ant it done, leave it to others. '

With a few such energetic Judges on the beneh.we should In ar no more about the difficulty or im¬

possibility of entoicing the laws. The very coun¬

sel of the g-imbiers, in upphiug for suspension ofjudgment, fully adiniited that inasmuch as publicsentiment demanded the execution of the lawagaiii-i gambling, and as the municipal, police andjtidicinl authorities were determined to enforce it,to attt mpt to resist ita execution would be idle andfooliak) and on that ground his clients had judgedit In st to cut the matter short and to reeoitiinen Ifr r mrehe< to mero\ lo abandoning the businessai.d pleading guilty. We should see the same thin,'done by the liquor seilen if equal detorminatin'iwere exhibited to enforce the law against liquorselling.The Grand Jury in their presentment at the close

of the Term, which we give in another column, are

evidently ofopinion that in tim< spast many criminalshave escaped forwent of due energy aud vigilanceon the part of the prosecution; ai.d they insiststring!} on that promptitude of ait.on of whichJudge Capron has j ot given an example.The statement of the Grand Jury rta to tl.e g--e.it

prevaleoctt of intemperate haliit- among 'bosecom-ti ii;<d to jail i'ii criminal charge* during the year,then- bom- be- n DO IcsM tkkm oJ.TlU intemperated ri l k e r* outOf96,964 persons committed, affordsa striking proof of t ue intimate connection that ex-

Washington, Friday, Feb. '2"3. 1-v,.Tie Supreme Court will adjourn on the 'i'»th

and reassemble on the 1st of April. About sev¬

enty causes w ere disposed of during the pNRRRtterm, and one hundred and twenty odd are remain¬ing on the di cket. The opinion in the MM in¬volving the Missouri Compromise will not he ren-

d< red till April. We have some reason to expecta more favorable judgment than was at first an¬

ticipated, the weight of authority being decidedlyfor the freedom of the colored plaintiff.

Intelligence was received by the Governmentthis morning containing assurances that the Hor¬de r Counties uf Missouri would acquiesce in theI r> -ent state of tilings in Kansas, and make no ag¬gressive ii'ivem. ut. The President instructedGi v. Shannon before leaving to visit these countiespens t.ally. and say if an invasion was a'tempt, d itwould he n sisted by all the power he could com-

tOt d; also to say to the people of Kansas that thesame authority would he exerted u" any iniurrectit nary demonstration occurred.

If the Topeka Convention arsemblea a civil pro¬cess will l e sued out against the Governor andother officer-, on the ground of the Territorial lawthat they are assuming functions to which theyhave not been legally elected or appointed. Thesame law prevails in most of the States. No mili¬tary force w ill he employed unless the civil proc -sa

is nsi-fed. Republican instruction! have beensent out by a *|>eeial messenger, who started ou

WedLesdny night, to member* of the Topeka Con-vention, devil ing them merely to organize and ad-jc urn, so as to be prepared for other movement*hereafter. With these precautions on both side*no collision is now apprehended.

Wamiisi.ton. Friday, Feb. 22, 1*06.No answer has been received by Government

eoneeri.iiig the request for the recall of Mr.< ran pti n. An interview has been held betweenLord t lanndon and Mr. Buchanan, hutthe BritishMinister indicated m> positive determination. Itis quite probable that Lord Clarendon assumedstrong ground, ai;d asserted strong opinions, -uchas the English Pre** mistakenly connected withthe Central American question. There is evident¬ly a disposition to risk consequences hy declining a

c< mpliance with the demand of the Administration.Put this or any such attempt will not avail. IfLord Clarendon should finally refute to accede,passant will most a.-.-uredly be gtrefl to Mr.Crampton. There is no other reeonr-e af*er whathas occurred. Still this step will not involve anyserious difficulty, though it may lead to a tempor¬ary suspension of diplomatic intercourse.Lord Clarendon sent Mr. Marey's di«pateh to

Mr. Cranipton, who had m-ver leeR it before, sndit reached here yesterday morning by specialmessenger in advance of the mail. The proba¬bility is that it may lead to further correspondence,and through it to an amicable adjustment, as thereis no ground for quarrel. It is now likely that thewhole correspe.ndet.ee on thissubject will be calledfor Rj tbe Senate at an early day and be immedi¬ately tent in. as there it no further cause for con¬

cealment. The country it entitled to know bothrides of the question, as the British view in LordClarendon's Sprech hat been freely circulated.
