The yindicator and the Platforms.


The Tindicator of last week charges the
Pioneer with publishing the Republican
Platform "with the most important sec
tions so garbled and distorted as to change
the true meaning of the genuine Black
Republican doctrine This is sheer
falsehood. The Platform, as it stands in
our columns, Is correct. and just as itwas1
adopted at Philadelphia, In setting it
up an omission Of two or three words by
q mistake Of the composition, occurred in
the second resolution, which was prompt
ly corrected as soon as discovered. As
to car '.interpolating the word territories
it is maliciously false. Any man with
three grains of common sense can see
that the Territories were alluded to in
the resolution in question, even had the
word been omitted, which it is not. The
Republican doctrine is, that slavery IS le
gally established in the States where it
exists, and that the Constitution gives
Congress no power to interfere with it
there. Holding this doctrine, is anybody
fool enough to suppose that the Rtpubli-
cans, in national convention assembled,
to make platform, would deliberately re-
pudiate this doctrine and assert differ
ent one ? The word territories, we re-
peat, is found in the second resolution of
the National Republican Platform
The Tindicotor man himself garbles and
distorts that resolution when he quotes it
leaving out that word and we hurl back
the charge of "fraud" in his teeth
That he was so unfortunate as to ethold
of a misprinted copy, is no fault of ours.
We have kept the Platform, as it seas
adopted, before him for weeks. Why
don't he publish it, as we do all of his
party's platform except the distractions,
and let his readers judge ofits merits ?
I The Vindicator at length publishes the
Pierce endorsing resolution. We take to
ourselves the credit Of bringing that out.
We smoked him out He never would
have given it of his own free will md ac-
cord-not he. But he discovers that we
have omitted a part of that resolution,
over which he cackles like barnyard
pullet over her maiden egg-sploit. The
fact is, our neighbor ought to thank us
for this accidental omission, for the fewer
great deeds that are claimed for Pierce,
the fewer the lies told. Benton called
his administration miserable abortion,
and as the Vindictor man appears to value
Benton's opinion of Buchanan, why don't
he give his opinion Of Pierce ?
. We have supplied the omission in the
Pierce resolution, and stand ready to
print any more fine things the Cincinnati
Convention may have said of him, in its
Platform, if our neighbor can point them
out. So studiously have the Buchanan
press concealed this Pierce plank in their
platform (many Of them denying that it
was there at all, } that there was some
difficulty in laying hands on it at all, and
we were compelled to take it as we found

Prospects in New York.

The Evening Post gives an estimate Of
the vote of New York by counties, re-
sulting as follows:
For Fremont, 2179OO
Fillmore, 1876, 800
Buchanan, 40 300
Without a coalition between the Buch-
aneers and Fillmore men, Fremont will
carry the State beyond doubt. Should
fusion be attempted, the entire foreign,
and very heavy reinforcement Of the
native vote would march over to the Ere
mont camp en- naasse. The fact is, FIRE.

The Washington correspondent cf the N.

proofs that Mr.. Film more, the X. N. and
anti Catholic candidate, is really, by re-

it is said will be made out in proof of this
allegation:

been dispatched to procure the withdraw

Mr.. Dnnelson const nts, the agreement
is complete so far as the principals of the
contract can complete it.
Vast must be the terror of the Shamo-
cratic leaders when they will consent to
such compromise, with those whom
they have so frequently denounced, with
the bitterest revilings and curses. But
they care nothing for principles. They
change them as often, and with as much
facility, as Chameleon does its colors.

man cattle, there will be disavowal Of
party ties; grand rebellion against party
dictation, which must result in victory to

shout for Free Kansas, Free Territory,
and Fremont for President. The free
men of the Hoosier State, / am reliably

mortal Spartan, Leoni las, united to man
to resist, by their votes on the 18th Of
October, the aggressive power of the Cal
houn Slave Democracy to subdue the
freemen of this Union by forcing slavery
into Kansas. The blood of Indiana's S
best citizens has been cruelty shed whilst
peaceably securing for themselves home
in that Territory, which was held sacred
for freedom by solemn compact, and rev.
cred for thirty four years, even by the
patent Democracy. Set down Indiana
for 10, 900 majority, and mark my word
for that prediction. The victory of Nor
