The Democratic Platform.

We have heard a good deal about Democratic
Platforms, but the following from the Baton Rouge
.7duocate, caps the climax. There is no equivoca-
ton, nor transcendentalism, nor mum-ery in this
expose-.h! no!
"OUR PARrY.-Our party will have no tests,
| and they require no platforms. Every body
| knows what DEMOCRACY is, and what it means.
1t requires neither glossaries nor commentaries.
Our articles of faith are just what they have
ever been, and are we'll understood by all who
desire to understand them. Our principles
| REQUIRE no books to teach them--no resolutions
to define them; they stand fixed, immutable and
luminous as the stars of heaven, written on
every mans heart and imprinted on his me-
mory."
The New Orleans Bulletin, after giving it as the
ten line leader'' of the Advocate, says:
"Well, thus far the Democratic party have
followed out the dumb policy recommended.
All their meetings have been as silent IN regard
to principles as a Quaker congregation. What
about Free Banking? What about the Com
promise! Why do they not speak out! They
are pretty creatures, these dumb machines, for
the people to take on trust. Let the Wings
speak out, offer a manly contest, and win none
other than a TAR ana nOnOTaDle TRIUMPH. DeI-
ter defeat than dumb and cowardly deceit !
Free Banking, and the Compromise held intact
that is our banner"
The True Delta, a neutral, or Independent, like
wise thus sarcastically pitches into this iniortu-
nate ebuAition:
DISCRETION OF SnENcE.-Every one and his
wife have heard the trite old proverb, that a ST.
lent tongue maketh a wise head, and the truth
of the adage few, we dare say, will be disposed
to question. 1t is not, however, often that
| political parties have the wisdom to practice
"the silent system" the high credit of proclaim
ing which as a duty, we are not astonished to
find due 10 the democratic Advocate" of Ba-
ton Rouge, which thus eloquently i%nstructs its
political friends, and admonishes its foes on
the subject:
The extract is then given, and the editor con-
cludes:
"Mum's the wordw
All! smum's'' the word, sure, but we scarcely
think that mum will "carry them over the river"
