principles; but nowhere in that platform is there any pledge, expressed or implied, that the rad- i icaljjarty will be boand by the constitu. tion of the United States in the government of the nation. The declaration of independence, neter judicially construed, and capable of any interpretation in many particulars which cunning and designing politicians may see fit to place upon was made the subject of a special resolution of great length and but the constitution of the coijntry, which if the definite embodiment of every doe- trine of nations! liberty in the form of law, contemptuously ignored. Not so with the New York convention, On the contrary, the very first paragraph of the New York platform Is a solemn dec- laration, that the democratic party of the United States "STANDS troy Tire coxm- TUTIOJf AS THE FOVXDATIOX AND LIMITA- TIOX OF THI POWERS OF THE GOVERN- MEXT."

He had before threatened her with violence, on account of the jealous feelings he "had entertained, and about 4 o'clock the next morning, he carried into execution his bloodv purpose in the most devilish manner. He got up, took from his pocket an ordinary jacK- knife, rushed upon his wife, who was laying in bed, and plunged the Made into her throat, just under the chin, severed the juglar artery, drew rt across her breast, leaving a deep gash.
