the State Convention, and the second concoct-
cd ~ the convention itse]f-bnt when it csme
to tA lId platform as leid down By the new
Cen1rarCcmmittee at its late meeting called
to i'll the vacancy caused By the decllnation
Of Mr. Harris, OUT nejghbnr threw up his tail
pardon the fgure-and !" flew the track
The following is from yesterdays Plaiu
Dtuler:
PLATFORM NO. 8.
Platform No. /, made by three Breckinridee fnII
hlocds IN the absence of the balance of the twenty
three State Committee men, {for which abseuCe
they have fearful account to settle in the day Of
jndgne4D We pr romptly repudiatcd and still repu-
dfate. Platform No. 2, was better one but con-
ta1ned two planks to which we exc- pied, more
because they were nepportuEe than ftr iack Of
t1nth. We thought thu white feather stuck
out:
The candidates Oh this platform, or under it, arc
honorable aid true, au. Harrison Withdrew and
then came platform No. 3, which appeared ii. our
paper last night, aEd We emphaticaliy repudi.te,
tsnd every man on the ticket till he emphaticaliy
repndlatee it. II what is called the Peoples move
is at last shown to be in had faith aud tue genuine
WAT sustslnlng Democratic soldiery Is sud out'
or lgloIed I've will shoulder shot gun aud start
for the kanawba Our politics run tbat way His

FAY. 'cur political earI Is entombed in the Prd-
re state" So welcome arc the words Of wisdom
la
close this para agtaph:
Whoever is not prepared to sacrifice party Or
ealsizations ahd platforms on the altar OF Ills
country does not deserve The support aud couut.:-
nance OF honest people. Let him be marked as n o
true patriot who viii not abandon all such ISSUES
In times like these
This third platform is eureIg enough to
make the most 1neorrgihle Democrat excla;m
in the language Of the crushed Cain NV
punishment is greater than I can hear;n f,r IN
deed the resolution Of that committee fixes
TIE brand Cf 1rs2sCn upon the brow cf every
man who gives it his anctlon, or who acuuI.
eece6 in its uttG1a1ce.
The Coinmhus Fact Gays The meeting of the
Committee vas Elalnay composed Of WsFaa
GrjRwcld, the candidate fer Controller: and
tEat the notorious Vaiiandigham WIS the an :.
thor Of the resolution.
IN that resolution treason stands confessed.
when it declares that the suppression cf sheets
loaded down with attacks upon the war meas
uses OF the Federal Government, and bri1nfuI
Ct SYMPATHY with the rebels, is an abridge-
ment OF tie 1ibsrtyd ct the press, and Of free
speech. Tbs resolution is the boIdesa avowaI
Ct ecmplicity with rebellion, that vet has hid
Etts rance, aud no wonder the Plain Dealer de-
nouEces it, and declares that " we emphati-
ca!;y repudiate it and every man on The ticket,
till be empEatlcally repudiates it.''
Ihe plckets Of the Pain Dealer and of the
7eratd lave now met, crossed palms, and ia
Ken drink ont Of the same canteen: now
Ehen our ncjghDsr cheers the banner that
Shall be 1aised at Columbus On the 5:h proxi
1nc--as We believe it will-then the 1uafa bel
jigernnts will stand in friendly line, shoulder
t. shoulder, fghtiEg for one Coun' ~ aud one
tnicn, until this ceyilieh rebellion shall be
crushed.
