A HOLMES, ROBERT II TATE. We are obliged to omit soveral articles to make room for the third day's paoccedlngs of the Cincinnati Convention. This, added to the sick ness of our Foreman and the necessary absence of another of our workmen, makes to-day's paper more- incomplete than we desired. : " THE CINCINNATI PLATFORM. ' We invite attention to the Platform, in another pari of this paper. It is all a Southern rights "ruanfan asserter of the principles of the Consti tution, can desire."

There arc so many exciting and contradictory rumors from Kansas, ttiat wo defer their publica tion till we can come at something' that' has more the semblance of truth than anything whioh ap pears at present. THE CLERGY AGAIN! ' A meeting of the clergy of all denominations, says the Boston Herald, was held at Boston on the 20th. It was largely attended and unanimous. 5he meeting was called to order by the Rev. Jas. Worcester, and Prof. Stowe of Andover was elect ed President, and the Rev. Mr. Dexter pf this city .treasurer. j&emarKS 01 a strong ann-siavery ciih racter were made by the President, the Reverend Messrs. Copp of Chelsea, Trask of Fitchburg, Dexter of Boston, Sessions of Melrose, Wolcott of Providence, Cleaveland of Lowell, Gardner Dean of Newersey, Stephen Thurston of Prospect, Me. Angier of Hopkinton, N. II. Ballou of Medford, Whitcome formerly of Stoneham, James Worces ter, Angier of Concord, Rev. Dr. Worcester of Sa lem, and Mr. Branson, an agent of the Emigrant Aid Society, and recently from "Kansas. The fol lowing preamble and resolutions, were introduced: Whereas, In view of the ceaseless aggression of the slave power in our land, and especially in vie w of the receut brutal attempts to ext'nguish free speech hi the Congress of the United States and take the lives of freemen in Kansas. We, Miniss ters of the Gospel, to the end that wo may bear our united and efficient testimony, before all men, do hereby calmTy, prayerfully, and as in the sight, of God, embody our deep religious convictions and our unalterable purposes, in the following resolu tions : Resolved, That the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is the onlo antidote for sin, and the only Secure basis either of personal character or polit ical institutions adapted alike to the family, the Church and the State, and precisely fitted to work out in them all the highest and noblest ends. Resolved, That we can entertain no hope that American Slavery will be done away, or its count less usurpations peacefully cease, except as the result of a widely increased conviction of its hate fulness in the sight of God, attd its inherent and inevitable antagonism to the very spirit of Christ. And we do therefore pledge to each other our mutual cooperation, sympathy and aid in the work of developing through the pulpitr, the church and the press, an enlightened public sentiment on this whole subject. . - . Resolved, That the murderous assault upon our houorable Senator, Charles Sumner, is not only a dastardly assault upon his person, and through him upon the .right of free speech, but also a wound which we individually feel and by which our very hearts bleed ; and whether he shall re cover, or sink into a martyr's grave "-which may God avert we will address ourselves unto prayer and effort that this sorrowful event may become the glorious resurrection of national virtue, and the triumph of freedom. Resolved, In view of the present crisis in our national atiairs, and especially - the awful perils that impend over Kansas and the land, we see a new exhibition of the essentially corrupt and cor rupting spirit of Slavery, and a new necessity that we, as ministers of the Gospel and lovers of liberty, should gird ourselves afresh to oppose its aggressions and secure the final triumph of free-dim. The above were adopted, and a copy ordered to Re sent to Congress. Said we not well on Thurs day,' when we declared that the Clergy of the Free States were doing more to dissolve the Un ion Jhan all other influences combined. Let the South remember that these clergymen are the " bead and front" of the Black Republican party ; that they are opposed to the present administra tion, and will be to the persons nominated at the Cincinnati Convention, and that now the array is drawn up In distinct lines, the Constitution and the South on one side and Abolition and the North on the other. The reader cannot fail to notice the rank hy pocricy of these political parsons, in the exprcs sions ia- relation to Scmxer " and whether he shall recover, cr sink Into a martys grave, which may God avert." They utter this vile sentence, when they know that Slm.ner is in no danger ; and would thus give their " religious convic tions," to. the aid of political trickery. We hope every southern man will view this surject calmly and without party bias. For our own part, we conscientiously believe that the salvation of the Union depends upon the success f tho National Democracy, and so believing we will not be moved or alarmed at any demonstra tions around us, during the Presidential canvass. We will do our duty, without in the least doubt. ing but what those who are now bitterly inimi cal to us (politically, at least) will say at last : "The Commercial was right after all." SITUATION OF SUMNER HUMBUG. It appears that we were correct in supposing that the reports about Summer's " critical" situa tion, were all, intended for political effect; to get up an-excitement for the Black Republican Par ty. The Washington Star of Monday evening last says : " We arc satisfied that the friends of Mr'.-Sttmner, whether intentionally or not, we will not pause to say, are circulating over the country statements in relation to his condition since the chastisement inflicted on him which are not war ranted by facts. It is understood that the physi cian first called in to dress his wounds has said that Mr. Sumner could have gone out of his room -the next day if he had chosen. The newspapers since then, in various distant cities in the North, have contained daily bulletins from Washington, drawn up .so as to create the false belief that he was in a critical state by reason of his wounds and bruises. The following, telegraphed to the New York papers of Saturday, is part of the 'same systematic effort: " A consultation of physicians was held at 10 o'clock this morning, in regard to the stale of Mr. Sumner's health." No person whatever is yet ad mitted to see him. He was rather more comfor table last night." We have informed ourselves concerning this rumored " consultation of physicians," and hap pen to know that it is, and was, all " bosh." After Sumner had made a very clear and plain statement of the transaction between himself and Mr. Brooks, he very suddenly got into a " criti cal" condition, and his physicians would not al low any one to see him. He talked pretty smart ly at the outset, but " humbug" demanded si lence, and it was obeyed. We wonder how long the farce is to be continued, now that the impos ture has become known to the whole country 1 We suppose till tho " indignation" meetings throughout the free States are mostly well got through with. SLAVEHOLDERS. From the outcry against slaveholder by the Wack republicans and their abolition allies, it is. attempted to make it appear that a slaveholder is worthless, wicked and vile. Ilow'many such have been elected President by the sovereign people of the United States T Let us see : Washington, Jef- flrson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Harrison, Polk and Taylor eight very respectable names, if we may be permitted to say so. Those elected by the same voice were John Adams, John Q. Adams, & Franklin Pierca. very respectable names also, but not slave holders. Tyler, who came in by the death of Harrison, was a slave holde ; Fillmore, who came in by the death of Taylor, was not. We believe we are correct in the above state ment; if not, we will thank any one to correct. Now if slavery be such an accursed thing as the northern priesthood and their treasonable aiders and abettors avow how is it that this country, having slave holders mostly for its chief Executive Officers, boa been blessed of Providence above all the nations of the earth, ever heard or read ofl Does this significant fact teach nothing 1 And now tha peril to oar institutions, and the danger of the absolute rain and desolation of this last refuge e? freedom for mankind, arise solely from those tho make var upon tie Slaveholders. SEND THEM ALONG. The Special Washington Correspondent of the New York Tribune, who is said to be Greely him self, be being at the last accounts, in that city, recommends very valiant measures. He says: If the Union is to continue, the Northern men are a beaten people sooner or later, unless they meet the force by which Slavery maintains itself, by force in a word, unless they become a fight ing people on the national are Da. The South al ready recogniws thin fact, but the" North does not. It must do it, it should do il at once. Eve ry day's failure to do it is a day lost, and postpo nes the necessary consummation, or swells the fi nal volume of disaster. In this view, the first re quisite of every Northern Representative is fight ing qualities. And no man who is not a profound disuoionist should peimit himself to run for Con gress in the Free States, unless he feels willing and competent to disci. a-ge the brutal duties that now attach, and fairly and properly attach, to the station. This is right. Stud them along. If this be not the veritable Greelt it is theGBEELY doctrine. So Send them along.

The inhabitants of our town were aroused from their quiet slumbers at the hour of 2, o'clock, A. M., on Saturday morning last by the dismal tolls of the fire bell. It was sooa dlscoveaed that tho steam mill owned fy Messrs. Cobb, Hilton & Becton, was on fire- Having had tfb rain for some weeks, every thing was so dry, that the flames extended so rapidly as to render it utterly impossible to impede their progress. Three other houses on the premises, a blacksmith shop, stables and wagon house, were all consumed. The total less has been" varionsly estimated at from 9 to $12,000. No insnrauce. Advocate. Correspondence of the Commercial. New Yobx, Jnne 3, 185G. The "Mnsio of the Union " ia sadly discordant at present. Our citizens find it a difficult task to keep time to the old quicksteps of their fathers, marred as they have been by foreign interpola tions and the discords introduced by demagogues That accommodating class, tho professional poli ticians are in an especial quandary, like a regi ment with bands in front and rear, each playing in different tune. - Willing souls, they' would glad ly keep step with all, but cannot tell which to choose. Sumaer and Kansas, the South, the North, and the sweets of Government patronage all bewilder them, and for a month, until the dust of the Presidential contest has cleared away, they must wait without laboring. The honest patriotism of the country is equal ly confused by the clamor and discord of the va rious factions. After calm and clear survey of the whole field, we may hope that the quiet con servatives of all sections will speak, and that their voice of reason will be heard by the coun try. That the integrity of the republic is endan gered is evident, and, as in all quarrels, that neitheir side is wholly right, is equally clear. Our people have become too fond of the habit of political racing, and, in their excitement, of try ing how far they can force their boilers without bursting. . The extra pressure put on, just now, by all parties, for the sake of political effect, is dangerou?. The South is in a "peculiarly per plexing predicament," in view of our delicate re lations with Great Britain. The British Lion may take it into his head to use the advantage of our internal dissensions, and spring upon ns in all his wrath. Tho large manufactories of Sro arms, In this city and other portions of the country, aro over whelmed with the demand for rifles and revolvers. Is this a consequence of the pugnacious disposi tion so remarkably prevalent in all quarters 1 The statistics of gutta percha cane sales will dou bt less be equally interesting. Our opera lovers and artists are in despair.

It was tho first building dedicated to Presbyterian wor ship in this city. During the occupation of New York by the British, it was used as a military hospital. The krg"o subterranean vaults Lave been opened, and the rcmaias of the dead are be ing removed to the rural cemeteries, where Mam mon will, possibly, not violate again the seal of the tomb. We observed a skull thrown np by the workmen, with the leaden bait which had been the messenger of death, found rattling within it. A startling lesson upon the vani'y of earthly things is taught in the fact, that many of the lov ed and cherished, who were here buried but thir ty years since, cannot now be found, so ruthless ly have death and titne done their work of obliv ion. And of those, whom decay has partially spared, there are but few with a friend to follow them to their second burial. remembering DEMOCItATIC. NATIONAL. CONVENTION. THIRD DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

RELIGIOU3 TESTS fcc, DEXOCXCED Cincinnati, June 4. The Convention met at 10 o'clock. - Mr. Stuart, of Maryland, asked that the special order of tho day bo immediately tak en up. Mr. Hallett, of Massachusetts, from the com- mitteo on resolutions said he was ready to pre sent the resolutions when will the committee receive theml f.Many voices "now, now."l Mr, Hallet then proceeded to read the resolu tions, prefacing that the Kansas and Nebraska platform bad been adopted with perfect unanimi ty. The committee did not have perfect nnani ty, however, upon the foreign policy suggested, bat recommend it heartily. Tho first part of the report embraces the gene ral principles of the last Convention, and theu proceeds as follows : Denouncing religious intolerance and proscrip tion on account of birth ; affiining the principles of the Kansas and Nebraska act as embodying tho only solution of the slavery question consis tent with tho non-interference of Congress with slavery in the States and territories. second disfatch Cincinnati, June 4-Noon. The committeee on reselutions reiterated and affirmed the Balti more Platform of 1852, together with tho follow ing resolutions: And Whereas.. Since the foreso'.nff declaration was nniforuily adopted by our predecessors in Na tional Convention and ad verso political and reli gious test has been secretly organized bv a nartv claiming to be exclusively Americans, and it is proper tbat the American Democracy should clearly define i'.a relations thereto; therefore. Resolved. Tbat the foundation of this union of State having been laid in its prosperity, ex pansion and pre-eminent example in free govern ment, bunt upon entire freedom in matters of re ligious concern, and no respect of persons in re gard to rank or place of birth, no party can just ly he ttcemed national, constitutional or in accor dance with American principles wbichbases its exclusive organization upon religions opinions and accidental birth place. That we reiterate with renewed energy of pur pose the well considered declarations of former conventions upon the sectional issne of domestic slavery and concerning the reserved rights of the States ; and that we may more distinctly meet the issue on which a sectional party, subsisting exclusively on slavery agitation, now relies to test the fidelity of the people. North and South, to the Constitution and the Union Resolved, That claiming fellowship with and de siri lg-the co-operation of all wrfo regard the pre servation of the Union nndcr the constitution as ftl.e paramount issue, and repudiating all section al parties and platforms concerning domestic sla very, which peek to embroil the States and incite to treason and armed resistance to law in the Territories, aud whose avowed purposes, jf con summated, must end in civil war and disunion. the American democracy recognise and adopt the principles contained in the organic la ws establish ing t be Territories- of Kansas and Nebraska, as embodying the only sound and safe solution of toe slavery onestion m on whMjn the create na tional idea of the people of this whole country can repose m its dcterminea conservatism ot tne Union : non-interference by Congress with slave ry in States and Territories ; that this was the basis of the compromises' of 1850, confirmed by both the democratic and whig parties in nation al conventions, ratified by the people in tne elee tion of 1852, and rishtlv applied to the organ iza tion of territories in 1854 ; that by the uniform application of this democratic principle to the organization f territories and the admission of new Slates, with or witbnnt domestic slavery, as tbey may elect, the canal rirhta of all the States will be preserved intact, the original compacts of the constitutions maintained inviolate, and the perpetuation and expansion of this Union, ensur ed to its utmost capacity of embracing, in peace and harmony, every future American Statu tbat may be constituted or annexed with a republican form of government. Resolved, That, we recognize the right of the people of all the Territories, includiug Kansas and Nebraska, acting through the fairly express ed will of the majority of actual residents ; and whenever the "number of their inhabitants justi fies it, to form a constitution, with or without do mestic slavery, and be admitted into the Union upon terms of perfect equality with the other States. Col. Inge, ofCal., introduced the following, which was adopted in committee after considera ble debate: Resolved, That the democratic party recognizes the great importance, in a political and commer cial point of view, of a safe and speedy communi cation within onr own territory between the At lantic and Pacific coasts of this Union ; and it is the duty of the federal. government to exercise promptly all its constitutional powers for the at tainment of that object. The committee also reported the following ad ditional resolution on. THg FOREIGN POLICY Of TflE GOVERNMENT. Resolved finally, That by the condition of the popular institutions of tho old world, and the darigerous tendency of sectional agitation, com bined with the attempt to enforce civil and relU gioua disabilities against the right of acquiring citiaenseip ia our own land, the high and sacred duty U devolved with increased responsibility upon the Democratic party of this country, as the party of the Union, to uphold and maintain the rinht of every State; and thereby the union of the States; and sustain and advance among us constitutional liberty by continuing to resist all monopolies and exclusive legislation for the bene fit of the few, at the expense of the many. And, by tber vigilant adherance to these principles and the compromises of the constitution, which are broad and strong enough to embraco and uphold the Union as it was, and the Union as it is the Union as it shall be in the full expansion of the energies and capacities of this great progressive people. First Resolved, That tie questions connected with the foreign policy of the country is Inferior to no domestic question whatever. TIkj time has come for the people of the United States to de clare themselves in favor of free seas and progres sive free trade throughout the world. And, by solemn manifestations to place their moral influ ence by the side of their successful example. Second Resolved, That Dur geographical and political position with reference to the other States of this Continent, no less thin the interests of out commerce and the developncnt of our growing power, requires that we hot the sacred princi ple involved iu the MoiToe doctrine. Their bearing and import admit of no misconstruction, and should be applied with unbending rjgidi- ty. Thirdly Resolved, That the great highway which nature as well as tint assent of the States most immediately interested in its maintenance has marked ont for the free communication be tween the Atlantic aud the Pacific Oceans consit tutes one pf the most important achievements to be realized by the spirit of moderation, in the un conquerable energy of our people, and that result should be secured by a timely and efficient exer tion of thO control which we have a right to claim oyer it. And no power on earth should be suffer ed to impede or clog its progress by and interfer ence, with relations that it may suit our policy to establish with the government of the States with in whose dominion it lies; and we can, nnder no circumstances, surrender our preponderance in th' adjustment of all tiuestions arising out of it. Fourthly Resolved, That in view of so com manding an interest the people of the United States cannot but sympathise with the efforts which are being made by the people of Central America to regenerate that portion of the Conti nent which covers the passage across the oceanic Isthmus. Fifthly Resolved, That tho Democratic party will expect from the next Administration every proper effort to be made to insure onr ascendancy in the Gulf of Mexico and maintain, a permanent protection of tho great oatlets through whicn are emptied into its waters the products raised on the soil, and the commodities created by the industry of the people of onr Western valleys and the U- nion at larger Mr. Macklin, ol Pennsylvania, moved the adop tion of the platform and resolutions without the dotting of an i or tht crossing of a t.

Mr. Phelps, of Miisouri The case of the New York delegates has not been settled, and I am opposed to considering the matter further until it is. i The N. Carolina delegation enquired whether tho committee meant to incorporate the post road resolution as a part of the platform. l"N6, no," from every part of the house. The previous question was sustained. Mr. Brcckenridge called for a vote by States, which was agreed to, and the vote was taken on the report of the committee on resolutions as sub mitted, except the last fivo resolutions. The vote by States was unanimous in favor, (New York not taken,) ayes 261 nays none. On the five remaining resolutions Mr. Ingcrsoll, of Connecticut, demanded that they be taken up separately.

The gentleman from Kentucky is out of order. Mr. Phelps moved an adjourmcnt to 3 o'clock this afternoon. The Chair decided that such a motion could not be received while the vote was pending. Mr. Thelps appealed from the decision of the chair. Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, stated that a mo tion to adjourn was in order when a vote was not actually being taken. The chair reversed his decision, and a motion to adjourn to four was made and negatived. The decision that it was m-gatived being doubt ed, a vote by States was called and the conven tion refused to adjourn nays 183, ayes 78.

Tlie.se aro 1. THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF A FEELING OF SELP DEPENDENCE, and the enlistment of popular sentiment in behalf of Uje State, and its in.stitulionH. It was not though important how ever, to have more than one number of the Rea ders of merelv local interest. a. TO KE.MEDY THE EVIL EVERYWHERE COMPLAINED OF IN COMMON SCHOOLS, OF A PERPETUAL CHANGE IN TEXT BOOKS ; an expensive habit, and one which Injures the Schools by preventing the children from being classified.

Mr. Jones served bis lima as an apprentice with the present Editor of Tk Commercial, part of the time in tha office of Tke Peoples Press and Wilmington Advertiser, and the rest of it in the Standard Office at Raleigh. While in the Editor' family be was much esteem ed and beloved and was a faithful, industrious and honest boy. Tbat be sustained this character as a man, is well known in thia community, where his death is very roach regretted. We sympa thise with the bereaved wife and four children, in their deep affliction. COMMUNICATED. The simple announcement made last week, that Caroline G., daughter of George R, snd Sarsh C. French, departed this life on the 25th of May, filled many a heart with sadness, and caused many a tear unbidden to fall. And now we bnt yield to the wishes of ninny dear friends, as well as to the promptings of our own heart, ia saying something more expressive of our high appreciation of ber worth. Caroline had attained to the age of sixteen years, eight months and tweoty-ono days. Her sickoeM was of short duration, but was ve ry severe : she bore it all with great fortitude and resignation, feeling, as was afterwards teamed, that she should uot recover. And now that the loved one is gone it is mournful pleasure to speak of what she was, and of what, by the grace of God, she was enabled to accomplish iu so snort a time as that which was nl lotted to her. Few, if any of her age, had made greater pro erei in all tbat relates to tho solid and ornamen tal branches of education. Such was her profici ency and ruch ber promise for the future, as to make ber an ornament to any family. We have seldom heard a sweeter voice j and much and long will it be mi Med lo our church music aod in the family, and especially at the hour of household worship. To her tbat was a sweet hour; and ber beart and voice were always ready to join in fam ily prayer and praise. All who knew her loved her bnt those who knew her best, loved her most. It was as a daughter, a titer that she was roost lovely. " Lina " was almosl the idol of the family. Tbe fondest aifet'tions of their hearts bad centered npon and entwined arouud ber, and she and they seemed alike unconscious of this until sickness and death like the storm, severed their tenoer, nut growing anections. She was a punctual and loved Sunday School teacher, and most deeply do we feel, aud most sincerely do we lament her loss. By nature she was amiable but grace raa'le her lovely, At, an early age she gave her heart to the Savior, and though she never made a public profession of re ligion, yet uurirg ber lite she gavs many proof of piety. And though "the Son of man came at an hour when she was not exnec.ing him." she was ready. It was tbe privilege of her father. ber pastor and her beloved teacher to converse and pray with her only a few hours before she died. And we have seldom reen ono fully con scious of speedy dissolution more calm or more willing to die. bhe contemplated death an I spoke of it without fear, bhe desired her brother and sisters to prepare to meet her in Heaven. And when aked what messxge the bad for ber sis ter, in Boston, she replied: "Tell Maggie, to seek the Savior." And thus she fell asleep iu Jesus. " Asleep in Jesus ! O, how sweet To- be ror such a slumber meet, With holy confidence to sing, That death Las lost his venoaed sting I" J. L. P. From the Pall River Moniior, May 0th, MEMENTO MORI. The Monitor of last week contained tbe simple record of the death of Mrs. Eliza A. Llndsey, w ife of William Lindsey, Esq. of this city. Influenced by a sense of jnsticu as well as of duty, we now proceed to pay a passing tribute to the memory of her "Who lived, was loved, is dead," and who was endeared to earth by tbe strongest and tenderest ties of friendship and affection. Tbe deceased was the only daughter of the late Deacon Enoch French, and as such was beloved by a circle of brothers, as alone an only sister cab be. In ail the relations of life, as wile, mother, sister, Christian, she was kind generous, exempla ry, and was warmly attached to the circle ot tela I Lous aud friends in which she moved in the ordi nary intercourse of life. She was a beloved mem ber ofthe First Baptist Church, and was baptised by Rev. Aca Branson, as we find on looking over the Church Record, March 20ih, 18.JG. Sha bad much to lire tor, husband, childreu, friends, be- Mile, lieine snrrounded by all the comforts ,of life, end though of frail health, her departure to the spirit land-was not anticipated until a short time before sin panned away. In vain was the physician i skill. Death hail marked her for hi own. and naught could stay bis hand. Thus in tho sweet, though pUintuc btraiu of one of earth s gentlest spirits i- riena aner iriena ocpsris; - Who hath not lost a friend 1 TIhtb is no union here of hearts That Qnds not here an end ; Were -this frail woild our final rest, Living or dying, none were blest. There is a world above. Where parting is unknown; A long, eternity of love, Formed for the good alone ; And faith beholds tbe dying h'-re Transplanted to that glorious sphere, Thns star by star declines, Till all aro passed away ; As morning high and higher shines To pure and perfect day j Nor sink those stars in empty night, But hide themselves in heaven' own light." For the bereaved, whilo sympathizing with them in their sorrow and desolateness, we invoke the consolotions of Heaven. In their affliction, bow ,cSwcet is tbe thought, the promise sweet That friends, long severed friends, shall meet That kindred souls, on earth disjoined, Shall meet, from earthly dross refined, Their mortal cares and sorrows o'er, And mingle hearts to part no more."
