IL The Cincinnati Gazette, in speaking
Of the platform recently adopted by the
Democracy at Indianapolis, pays it the
following meritorious compliment
We have seen that the Administration
men have damaged the Delegation to
Charleston, and carried off the State ticket
Ifhuman endurance could wade through
the long, shallow, muddy flat which the
Convention left as it subsidized, called the
"Platform," ;" it would be found that the Ad-
ministration men got fair share of that.
But as no living being will eyer read it
for if any living being tries it he won't be
living when he gets done-it is probably
useless to inquire who put the most mud
into the splashy mass. That platform is
a marvel Of absurdity. We might almost
pronounce il fit to worship. There is no.
Thing like it in Heaven, of course, nor in
the earth, nor in the waters upon the earth,
ut least since water and dry land were
separated. Since the Almighty gifted
man with the capacity to make fool oil
himself, the gift has never been SO fully
fearfully, and wonderfully exercised.

Of the fifteen free States. In other words,
