Iatjnal iuspujjlican.
ucan Jubilee at Sprinefleld Mr.
incoln's Polioy Foreshadowed.
n Tuesday ovoning, the 20th Inst., a Re
publican celebration u held nt Springfield,
Illinois, the home of Mr. Lincoln, pursuant to
previous arrangement. Tho meeting was
large and enthusiastic, and enlivened by a
Wido Awake procession, illuminations, and fire
works. Tho procession matched to the residonco of
Mr. Lincoln, and after repeated hearty cheers
for " Honest Old Abo," tho President elect
made his appearance, and spoke as follows i
FuiENDi and Fellow Citizkxsi Please ex
cuse me on this occasion from making a speech.
1 thank you for tho kindness atid compliment
of this call. 1 thank you, lu common with all
others, who have thought fit, by your votes, to
endorse the Republican cause. Applause.
1 rejoice with you in the. success which has
so far attended that causo. Applause. Yet,
in all our rejoicing, let u neither express
nor cherish any harsh feelings toWard any citi
zen who by his vote has differed with us.
Loud cheering. Let us at all times remem
ber that all American Citizens are brothers of
a common country, and should dwell together
in the bodds of fraternal feeling. Immense
applause. Let me again beg you, to accept
my thanks, and to excuse me from further
speaking at this time.
The procession then marched to the Wig
wam, 'where an Immense concourse of people
were addressed by Senator Trumbnll and sev
eral other gentlemen. As Senator Trumbull's
speech, under the circumstances, is very rea
sonably regarded as truly foreshadowing the
policy of Mr. Lincoln, we copy it In full from
a' telegraphic report in the Now York Tribune.
Fellow Citizens i It is nleet that Republi
cans should make merry and be glud, for the
spirit of liberty, wh.ch, with our rulers, was
dead, Is alive again, and the Constitution, or
dained to secure its blessings, which was lost
sight of, is found. In view of the recent politi
cal triumphs, Illinois Republicans have especial
reasons lor congratulation. In common with
their political brethren throughout the Union,
they rejoice in the general result, which se
cures to the country a Republican President,
who, we trust und believe, is to bring back the
Government to the policy of the lathers, and
thereby restore the fraternal feeling which ex
isted between the different sections of the coup
try in tho purer and better days of the Repub
lic. In addition, they have the satisfaction of
having secured a Republican Legislature, and
thereby a Republican United States Senator,
and the power to enact the necessary laws to
prevent illegal voting, and to give to every part
of the State7 according to the population, its
proportionate share in the legislation of the
State. And, more than this, we Illiuoisans
have especial reason to reioico in the fact that
', the standard-bearer in this great political con
M teat, who has led the Republican hosts to vie-
i Jj tory, is our own fellow citizen, the pure, incor
V ,J rUplible, patriotic, and talented Lincoln, than
nwhom the Constitution in all its parts has not
) ti'a more faithful supporter, nor the Union an
p abler defender. But, while we rejoice over a
f 'victory so complete, let it not be by way of tri
umph over political opponents, for we are all,
by whatever name called, brethren of a com
mon country, and interested alike in so guiding
the ship of State through the boisterous waves
. of these tempestuous times, as to bring it to a
a haven of peace and safety. Rather let us re
5 ioice over the success of the principles we ad
vocate, the maintenance of which we believe
essential to the preservation of our free institu-
uuua uuu iuo perpetuity ui uuuomuuuuai uu-
erty. Mr. Lincoln, although the candidate of
the Republican party, as Chief Magistrate, will ,
neither belong to that or any other party. When
lnni.nmlail ka will Yin ihn Treniflnnf nl fno
country and the whole country, and I doubt
not will be as ready to defend and protect the
ir- State in which ho has not received a solitary
vote against any encroachment upon its con
stitutional rights, as the one in which he has
received the largest majority; while they by
whose votes he has been designated as Chief
Magistrate of the Republic will expect him to
maintain and carry forward tho principles on
which he was elected, they know that in doing
so no encroachment will be made on the re
served rights of any of tho States. )
J. hey know that tho federal uovernment is
one of delegated powers ; that it can do noth
ing except the authority for thi act can be
found in tho instrument which created it, and
thai all powers not conferred are reserved to
the States, or the people of the States. Hence,
when their political opponents have charged
them with Abolitionism, or attributed to them
a desire to interfere with slavery in the States,
, or some fanatio has insisted they ought to do
so, the reply has invariably been, that the peo
ple who made the Federal Government did not
think proper to confer on it such authority, and ,1
u nas mereiore no more ngnt to meaaio with
j slavery in a State than it has to interfere with
serm-tn in wus.u. Mr ,ra the people of the'
non-slaveholding States in any wr responsible
for slavery in the States which tolerate it, be
cause, as to that question, (hey are as foreign
to each other as independent Governments. I
have labored in and for the Republican organi
zation with entire confidence that whenever it
should be in power, each and all of the States
would bo left in as complete control of their
own affairs, respectively, and at as perfect lib
erty to choose and employ their own means of
protecting property and preserving peace and
order within their respective limits, as they
have over been under any Administration.
Those who have voted for Mr. Lincoln have
expected and still expect this, and they would
not have voted for him had they expected other
wise. I regard it as extremely fortunate for
tho peaco of the whole country that this point,
upon whicb tho Republicans have been so long
and so persistently misrepresented, is now to
be brought to a practical test, and placed be-'
yond the possibility of doubt. It should be a
matter of rejoicing to all true Republicans, that
they will now have an opportunity of demon
strating to their political adversaries and to
the world, that they are not for interfering with
the domestic institutions of any of the States,
nor the advocates of negro equality or amalga
mation, with which political demagogues have
so often charged tbera. When this is shown,
a reaction will assuredly take place in favor of
Republicanism. The mind, even, will lie satis
fied ; the rights of Northern men will be re
spected ; and the fraternal feeling existing in
olden times, when men from all parts of the
country went forth together to battle for a
common cause against a common enemy, will
be restored.
Disunionists per se, of whom, unfortunately,
there have been a few in the country for some
yea.-e, unhiBtand this, and are now in hot haste
to gt out of the Union, precisely because they
Scrcttlve they caunot much longer maintain an
pnrehenslon among the Southern people that
their homes and firesides and lives are to bo
endangered by Ihe action of the Federal Gov
ernment. With such, "now or never" is the
maxim. Hence they seek to inflame tke public
mind by misrepresenting the objects and pur
poses of the Republican party, with the hope of
precipitating some of the Southern States into
a position from which they cannot, without dis
honor, afterward recede, well knowing if they
delay till after the new Administration is in
augurated and tested, it will furnish no cnuse for
their complaiuts. Secession is an impractica
bility, or, rather, an impossibility. The Con
stitution provides no way by which n State may
withdraw from tho Union no way for tho dis
solution of the Government it creates. The
General Government interferes but little with
the individual rights of the citizen, except for
firotxetion. It is chiefly felt in its benefits and
U blessings not in its exactions. If every
Federal ofiicer in South Carolina were to resign,
their offices remain vacant, and its Legislature
declaro the State out of the Union, it would all
amount to little, except to inconvenience the
citizens of that State, so long as the State did
not interfere with tho collection if the revenue
on tho seaboard. Tho people!, Other portions
of Die Union would not be in the least incom
moded. What is tho South Carolina army to
do when raised? Who is it to fight? Mani
festly, if it commences a war on the United
States officers engaged in collecting the reve
nue, it becomes the aggressor. This would bo
revolution, and making war without a cause, for
South Carolina makes no complaint against the
present revenue laws. Is she prepared for this
to, becomo the aggressor? The only use I can
see for her Minute Men is, that they will enable
the peoplo the more readily to suppress any up
rising in their midst, which their misrepresent
ations of purposes may have encouraged. She
complains that the fugitive elavo law is not ex
ecuted in some of the States. This, if true, the
wholo country knows to be a Bham. So far as
South Carolina is concerned, she is so situated
that no slave can escape from her limits into
free States, however much cause the border
slave Slates may have to complain of the escape
of their negroes into the free States. It is
clear South Carolina can have no such com
plaint. In her resolves she professes to be pre
paring to defend herself against encroachments
on her rights. Let her adhere to this policy,
noil not attempt to dictate to other States what
they shall do, and no collision will occur, for no
encroachment" will be made.
Tho disunion feeling in tho South is, doubt
less, greatly exaggerated. A sort of terrorism
seems to prevail in some places, which for the
time appears to bavo crushed out any manifest
ation ol Union sentiment Rut as the causes
for this excitement are all Imaginary, the elec
tion of a Republican P.esidcnt in tho consti
tutional mode certainly affording no excuse
for it, it is reasonable to suppose lhat a reac
tion will soon take place among the Southern
people thunselves, which will- overthrow the
disunionists at home. It is a great mistake to
class tho supporters of Mr. ttreckinridgo as
disunionists. Some few of them may be, bnt
Mr. Breckinridge himself, and his supporters,
as a class, are, I doubt not, as sincerely attach
ed to the Union as many of thoso who, for po
litical purposes, during the r.eceut excited con
test, sought to fasten on them the stigma of
disunion. Should tho conservative and Union
men in any particular locality be unable to
cope with their adversaries, and South Carolina,
or any other State, nndcr the lead of Nullificrs
and Disunionists, who have for years been
seeking a pretext for breaking up the Govern
ment, plunge into rebellion, and without cause
assail by forco of arms the constituted author
ities of the Uniou, thcro will be but one senti
ment among the great mass of the people of
all parties, and in all parts of the country: and
that will be, that " the Union it must and shall
be preserved," and woe to the traitors who are
marshalled against it. Should any Republican
inquire what has been gained by the triumph
of Republicanism, I answer, much. We have
fainea a decision of the people in favor of a
'acific Railroad a Homestead policy a ju
dicious Tariff the admission into the Union
of Kansas as a free State a reform in the
Financial department of the Government and,
more important than all, the Verdict of the
People the source of power, and from whose
decision there is no appeal that the Constitu
tion is not a slavery-extending instrument.
No more Dred Scott decisions will now be
made. Freemen, bothvjf tho North and of the
South, will hereafter be protected in all their
constitutional rights. The policy of the Gov
ernment, as of old, will now set in favor of
freedom, and not for the supremacy of sla
very, as has been the case for the last six years.
Freedom h' nceforth will be the law of the
Territories, because the people, In their majes
ty, have so ordered, and neither Courts nor
Congresses will bo able to thwart their will.
When full effect shall have been given to all
these great measures of the Republican party,
and the prejudices engendered against it in
the minds of. many, by the artful appeals of
demagogues, who have misrepresented its ob
jects, shall have been removed by actual knowl
edge of its acts, we may expect tho bitterness
of party spirit to subside, thn cry of disunion
to be hushed, and tho principles of Republi
canism to become the permanent policy of the
Government, under which it will flourish and
prosper, as I trust, forever.
For the National Republican.
AIR.
The atmosphere is a thin, transparent fluid,
which surrounds the earth's surface, and which,
in virtue of its constituent elements, supports
animal life by respiration 1 it is also necessary
to tho duo exercise of the vegetable functions;
it is generally, but erroneously, regarded as in
visible ; in volume 1 of Or. Lardner's Lectures
on Scieuce and Art, that gentleman mechan
ically demonstrates that air may bo seen and
fell, and he does not hesitate to admit that it
has qualities which entitle it to be classed
among material substances. The published ex
perience from philosophic, mathematical, and
mechanical sources enables us to determine its
properties and qualities. It consists of nitrogen
eighty hundredths, oxygen twenty hundredths,
in which is blended a small proportion of car
bonic acid gai. It requires a cube of thirteen and
a quarter teet of air to weigh one pound avoir
dupois. The atmosphere extends bat fifty miles
from the earth's surface ; consequently, the
mean weight of a column of air one foot square,
and of an altitude equal to the height of the
atmosphere, is equal to two thousand two hun
dred und thirteen pounds.
A cubic foot of water weighs sixty two and a
half pounds, (or more than eight hundred times
the amount ot air.) Condense tho earth's atmos
pheric air to the specific gravity of water, and
the volume of water thereby obtained would
cover the wholo earth's surface to tbo depth of
thirty-five feet.
A cubic foot of common soil weighs one hun
dred and twenty five pounds, (or twice tho
amount of water.) Condense tho earth's atraos
pherio air to the specifio gravity of common
soil, aud it would give an addition of seventeen
and a half feet to the whole earth's surface. In
this statement, no addition is made for the dif
ference of radius, in which the outer radius of
the air exceeds that of the earth by fifty miles,
nor is a reduction made for tho rarcfication of
the outer limits of the air, which is seldom suf
ficiently dense at tho height of two miles to
bear up the clouds. Hence those calculations
are not strictly philosophically or mathemat
ically correct, but are Intended to be sufficiently
plain and comprehensive to convoy to the gen
eral reader an idea of a substance which lias
been proverbially compared to a trifle.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Hctohtd, Th&t we, the delegated repreenta
tlves of the Republican Electors of the United
States, In Convention assembled, in discharge
of the duty we owe to our constituents and onr
country, unite la the following declarations :
First. That the history of the nation during
the last fonr years has fully established the pro
priety and necessity of the organization and per
petuation of the Republican party, and that the
causes which called It Into existence are perma
nent in their nature, and now, more than ever
before, demand Its peaceful and constitutional
triumph.
Second. That the maintenance of the prlnclnles
promulgated In the Declaration of Independence,
and embodied in the Federal Constitution, "that
all men are created equal ; that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain unalienable rights;
that among these are life, liberty, and the pur
suit of happiness that to secure these rights,
Governments are Instituted among men, deriving
their just powers from the consentofthegorerned,"
is essential to the preservation of our republican'
institutions; and that the Federal Constitution,
the rights of the States, and the Union of the
Slates, must and shall be preserved.
Third. That to the Union of the States this
nation owes Its unprecedented increase in popu
lation ; Its surprising development of material
resources; its rapid augmentation of wealth;
Its happiness at home and Its honor abroad; and
we hold In abhorrence all schemes for disunion,
come from whatever source they may ; and we
congratulate the country that no Republican
member of Congress has uttered or countenanced
a threat of disunion, so often made by Demo
cratic members without rebuke an- with ap
plause from their political associates ; and we
denounce those threats of disunion, In case of
a popular overthrow of their ascendency, as de
nying the vital principles of a free Government,
and as an avowal of contemplated treason, which
It is the imperative duty of an Indignant people
sternly to rebuke and forever silence.
Fourth. That the maintenance inviolate of
the rights of the States, and especially the right
of each State to order and control its own do
mestic Institutions, according to Its own judg
ment exclusively, Is essential to that balance of
power on which the perfection and endurance of
our political fabrle depends; and we denounce
the lawless Invasion by armed force of the soil
of any State or Territory, no matter under what
pretext, as among the gravest of crimes.
Fifth. That the present Democratic Adminis
tration has far exceeded our worst apprehensions
in its measureless subserviency to the exactions
of a sectional Interest, as especially evidenced
In Its desperate exertions to force the infamous
Lecompton Constitution upon the protesting peo
ple of Kansas In construing the personal rela
tion between master and servant to Involve an
unqualified property in persons in Its attempted
enlorcement everywhere, on land and sea, through
the intervention of Congress and of the Federal
courts, of the extreme pretensions of a purely lo
cal interest, and in its general and unvarying abuse
of the power Intrusted to It by a confiding people.
Sixth. That the people justly view with alarm
the reckless extravagance which pervades every
department of the Federal Government; that a
return to rigid economy and accountability is in
dispensable to arrest the systematic plunder of the
public Treasury by favored partisans ; while the
recent startling developments of frauds and cor
ruptions at the Federal metropolis show that an
entire change of Administration Is imperatively
demanded.
Seventh. That the new dogma that the Consti
tution of Its own force carries slavery into any
or all of the Territories of the United States, is a
dangerous political heresy, at variance with the
explicit provisions of that instrument Itself, with
cotemporaneous exposition, and with legislative
and judicial precedent; is revolutionary In Its
tendency, and subversive of the peace and har
mony of the country.
Eighth. That the normal condition of all the
territory of the United States Is that of Freedom;
that as onr republican fathers, when they bad
abolished slavery in all our national territory,
ordained that "no person should be deprived of
hfe, liberty, or property, without due process of
law," It becomes our duty, by legislation, when
ever such legislation Is necessary, to maintain
this provision of the Constitution against all at
tempts to violate it; and we deny the authority
of Congress, of a Territorial Legislature, or of
any individuals, to give legal existence to sla
very in any Territory of the United States.
Ninth. That we brand the recent reopening of
the African slave trade, under the cover of our
national flag, aided by perversions of judicial
power, as a crime against humanity, and a burning
shame to our country and age ; and we call upon
Congress to take prompt and efficient measures
for the total and final suppression of that exe
crable traffic.
Tenth. That in the recent vetoes by their Fed
eral Governors of the acts of the Legislatures
of Kansas and Nebraska, prohibiting slavery In
those Territories, we find a practical illustration
of the boasted Democratic principle of non-intervention
and popular sovereignty embodied In
the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and a demonstration
of tho deception and fraud Involved therein.
Eleventh. That Kansas should of right be Im
mediately admitted as a State under the Consti
tution recently formed and adopted by her people,
and accepted by the House of Representatives.
Twelfth. That while providing revenue for the
support of the General Government by duties
upon Imports, sound policy requires such an ad
justment of these Imposts as to encourage the de
velopment of the Industrial Interests of Ibe whole
country ; and we commend that policy of nation
al exchanges, whicb secures to the working men
liberal wages, to agriculture remunerating prices,
to mechanics and manufacturers an adequate
reward for their skill, labor, and enterprise, and
to the nation commercial prosperity and Inde
pendence. Thirteenth. That we protest against any sale
or alienation to others of the publio lands held
by actual settlers, and against any view of the
free homestead policy which regards the settlers
as paupers or supplicants for public bounty; and
we demand the passage by Congress of the com
plete and satisfactory homestead measure which
has already passed the HouBe.
Fourteenth. That the Republican party Is op
posed to any change in our naturalization laws,
or any State legislation by which the rights of
citizenship hitherto accorded to immigrants from
foreign lands shall be abridged or Impaired ; and
In favor of giving a full and efficient protection
to the rights of all classes of citizens, whether
native or naturalized, both at home and abroad.
Fifteenth. That appropriations by Congress
for river and harbor improvements of a nation
al character, required for the accommodation
and security of an existing commerce, are author
ized by the Constitution and justified by an ob
ligation of the Government to protect tho lives
and property of Its citizens.
Sixteenth. That a railroad to the Pacific Ocean
Is imperatively demanded by the interests of the
whole country; that the Federal Government
ought to render Immediate and efficient aid In
Its construction ; and that, as preliminary thereto,
a daily overland mail should be promptly es
tablished. Seventeenth. Finally, having thus set forth our
distinctive principles and views, we Invite the
co-operatlon of all citizens, however differing on
other questions, who substantially agree with mi,
In their affirmance and support,'
BELL AND EVERETT PLATFORM. ,

platforms adopted by the partisan Conventions
of the country have had the effect to mislead I

DOUGLAS AND JOHNSON PLATFORM.
Resulted, That we, the Democracy of the
Union, in Convention assembled, hereby do
clare our affirmance of the resolutions unani
mously adopted and declared as a platform of
principles by the Democratio Convention at
Cincinnati, in tbo year 1856, believing that
Democratio principles aro unchangeable in
their nature, when applied to the same subject
matter; ana we recommend as the only further
resolutions the following :
llcsolted. That it is the duty of the United
States to afford ample and complete protection
to all its citizens, whether at home or abroad,
and whether native or foreign.
Resolved, That one of the necessities of the
age, in a military, commercial, and postal
point of view, is speedy communication .be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific States; and
tho Democratic party pledge such constitution
al government aid as will insure the construc
tion of a railroad to the Pacific coast at the
earliest practicable period.
Resolved, That the Democratic party are in
favor of tho acquisition of tho island of Cuba,
on such terms as shall be honorable to our
selves nnd just to Spain.
Resolved, That the enactment of State Leg
islatures to defeat the faithful execution of the
fugitive clave law are hostile in character, sub
versive of tho Constitution, and revolutionary
in their effect.
Resolved, That in accordance with the in
terpretation of the Cincinnati platform, that,
during the existence of the Territorial Govern
ments, the measure of restriction, whatever it
may be, imposed by the Federal Constitution
on tho power of the Territorial Legislature
over the subject of the domestic relations, as
the same has been, or shall hereafter be. finally
determined by the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, should be respected by all good
citizens, and enforced with promptness and
fidelity by every branch of the General Gov
ernment. BRECKINRIDGE AND LANE PLATFORM.
Resolved, That the platform adopted by the
Democratic party at Cincinnati be affirmed,
with the following explanatory resolutions!
First. That tho Government of a Territory
organized by an act of Congress is provisional
and temporary, and during its existence all cit
izens of the United States have an equal right
to settle with their property in the Territories,
without their rights, either of person or prop
erty, being destroyed or impaired by Congres
sional or Territorial legislation.
Second. That it is the duty of the Federal
Government, in all its departments, to protect,
when necessary, the rights of persons and prop
erty in tho Territories, and wherever else its
constitutional authority extends.
Third. That when the settlers of a Territory,
having an adequate population, form a State
Constitution, tho right of sovereignty com
mences, and, being consummated by admission
into the Union, they stand on an equal footing
with the people of other States; nnd the State
thus organized ought to be admitted into the
Federal Union, whether its Constitution pro
hibits or recognises the institution of slavery.
Resolved, That tho Democratic party are in
favor of the acquisition of the island of Cuba
on such terms as will be honorable to ourselves
and just to 'Spain, at the earliest practicable
moment.
Resolved, That tho enactment of Stato Legis
latures to defeat tho faithful execution of the
fugitive slave law are hostile in character, sub
versive of the Constitution, and revolutionary
in their effect.
Resolved, That tho Democracy of tho United
States recognise it as the imperative duty of this
Government to protect the naturalized citizen
in all his rights, whether at home or in foreign
lands, to the same extent as its native-born cit
izens. Whereas one of the greatest necessities of
the age, In a political, commercial, postal, ana
military point of view, is a speedy communica
tion between tho Paciiic and Atlantic coasts ;
therefore bo it
Resolved, That the National Democratio party
do hereby pledge themselves to use every means
in their power to secure the passage of some
bill, to the extent of the constitutional author
ity of Congress, for tho construction of a Pa
cific railroad from the Mississippi river to the
Pacific ocean, at the earliest practicable mo
