nzTLi;tle did we expect, eighteen
months ago, that We should ever, either
as individuals o. as party, adopt any por
tion of that budget Of political heresies--
the Chicago Platlorm-but such is the
fact.
1t will be a duty incumbent upon the
Democratic party to adopt the following
sixth resolution found in that imstru-
mant, and when practically applied to the
present party in power, is as true as holy
writ:
.Sirth, That the people justly view with
alarm the reckless extravaganza which
pervades every department oftho Federal
Government: that q return to rigid econ
omy and accountability is indispensable
to arrest the systematic plumber Of the
public Treasury w favored partisans ;
while the recent startling Developments
Of frauds and corruptions at the Federal
metropolis show that an entire change of
Administration % imperatively demand
ed"
We hope that our Democratic State
Convention, which meet: on the 44h OF
July next will adop: this resolution, Ia
ken fresh from the Lincoln Laboratory,
and must therefore he good medicine for
Republicans. We hope they viii not dis
own their own hantling.

1t is true, Gov. Curtin appointed a COM

in furnishing clothing aud equipments to
the three months soldiers; but some
members Of the Senate and House term it
a whitewashing machine-impeaching cv.

very anxious to have sn investigation,
while others are bitterly opposed to it.

has turned its attention to boating stone

when they get all the Southern Harbors

they will use the same argument with the
