That our readers may soc for them
selves, just how much and what is
said sbout treason in this noted Plat.
form, We give the following resolu-
sion:
Resolved. That the civil war By which
our county 10 at present distiactsd, is the
nstufal ohspIing Of misguided see,ionslism,
engendeIed by fansiicsi asitstors North as
we'll as South; and that the Democratic
party having equally opposed the eItremis,
OF both sections, aud having al all times
xealously contsnded foI the administration
Of the general government within its con-
stituiional limits, that party is m no way
responsible fer calamities that have resulted
from . departure from its doctrines, and q
disregard Of its warning and sdvice.
This resolution contains oil ,ha.
10 found in the Platform tina, can.
by any possibility bo construed into
censure Of the rebellion. And what
does it amount tol Why, . mere
balancing Of accounts between the
North and the South, both sec,iona
being treated % equally criminal
Pot observe the lowing resolutions:
That the corruption. eI,favasance, in.
competency and favoritism. shown in the
administration OF the War Departments OF
the state and federal governments, deserve
and receive our unqualified condemnation,
and ought TO be immediately corrected and
reformed.
That the privilege Of the writ Of haheas
corpus. Is one Of the great buiwsrks Of free.
dom. and that no citizen can legally be de.
pfved OF the benefit thereof except by Con.
gress' ana then only in the case OF rebellion
OF invasion, when the public safety may re.
quire IL; and that the late attempt Of the
President OF the United States to suspend
the privilege OF the same 10 unwaIranied By
tie federal Constitution.

The E'iitor OF the Courier, thinks
tho Platform quite . model, and
therefore commends it to the conf.
dence OF his political br-t -thren, in the
strongest terms. The County Con.
ven'ion. however, did not give Il any
"spscisI attention." IS requested by
