DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PLATFORM.
Adopted at Chicago, August 80, 1864.

ResoIped Tha: in the future, as in the past, we
will a,lherc with answering fidelity to the Uni
on under the Constitution as the only solid ioun-
dation OF eur strength, security and happiness as
. people, and as framework OF Government
equally conducive to the welfare and prosperity
oi all the States, both Ncrthern and Southern
Reseloed. That this convention does explicitly
declare. as the sense Of the American people, that
after four years of failure to restore the Union
by the experiment Of war, duriug which, under
the pretense Of y military necessity or war
power higher than the Constitution, the Consti-
4uton itself it has been disregarded in every
part, and public liberty and private right trod-
den down aud the material property OF the
country essentially impaired justice. humanity,
liberty, and the public welfare demand that i'm
mediate efforts be made for cessation OF hostii-
. tiles with q view to an ultimate convention OF
the States, or other peaceahle means, to the emu
that at the earliest practicable moment peace
may be restored on the basis OF the Federal Union
OF the States.
Reso1ued. That the direct interference Of the
military authorities of the United States in the re-
cent elect ons held in Kentucky. Maryland, Mis-
souri, and Delaware was shameful Fioia'ioh OF
the constitution. and repetition OF such acts IN
the approaching election will be held as revou
tiOnary and resisted WIN all the Weahe auo Po"c'
under our control.
Reso/ued That the aim and object OF the dem
ocratc party is to preserve the Federal Union
and the rights of the States unimpared; ana they
hereby declare that they consider mai the 'd
uninstrative usurpatioa OF extraordinary ana
dangerous powers not granted by the constitu
tion. the subvcrsion OF the civil ly military law
in States not in insurrecton; the arbitrary mil
itary arrest imprisonment, trial and sentence OF
American citizens in States wherethe civil law
exists in full lorce the suppress ion OF the iree-
dom of speech and of the press. the denial OF the
right Of a. >ylum, the open and avowed disregard
of State rights, the employment of unusual test
oaths, and the interference with and denial OF the
RI pht of the people to hear arms in their defence
fs calculated to prevent a restoration OF the
Union aud the perpetuation of II Government
deriving it's just powers from the consent OF the
governed
Resoised, That the shameful disregard OF the
Administrator to it's duty, in respect to our fel-
Tow citizens who now are, and long have been
nrisoners Of ww in u suffering condition. deserves
she severest reprobation. on the score alike OF
cublic policy and common humanity.

been going on for sever d weeks {; we can lear

leads TO Improvement, We presume tlat ehe
quality as well AS quantity of the aIticls will be
superior to that made in former years
AS the quantity making is supposed to be
very large, the price should decline proper
tionately aud come within the reach OF every
chss. We have heard OF no sales il, this sec
ton. The Charlotte papers report that it is
selling IN that market n. Ave dollars per gal

The cultivation Of the cane has already been

TO become sul more valuable. There is no

Among the most interesting operations that
the surgery Of the present war has brought
into comparative no,oriety, is that known as
resection. 1t consists in opening limb by
dividing the flesh and muscles so a. to expose
the inclosed bone or joint. and allow its re-
movalr in cases of severe injury. The flesh is
then brought together, and the wound treated
in the usual method.
The Charlotte Times Bays: Large numbers
OF conralescent and furoughed soldiers al e re.

particularly the crowded state Of the cars yes
terdsy morning. The platforms and the space
between the seats were filed. As many as
