The Democratic Platform .

Stripped Of the yerblage and vagueness
which have no other effect but to conceal
their real purport from minds not used to
discrimination, the import Of the resolutions
is as follows As not a hint is given that
there has been any wrong whatever IN prIn-
ciple OF practice on the part Of those who
began and have carried on the rebellion,
while the Government of the country Is
charged in the brOadest terms to have violated
the Constitution in every particular. and TO
have committed only outrage on public hber-
tv and private rights in all its efforts to quel.
tie rebcllion-the implication Is undeniable
that the convention and its adhe-ents con-
slider the re5el cause the Just one. and that
the rebel leaders have done only their duty
in al their acts Of treachery, and public and
private robbery and bloodshed-that the
Government had no right to interfere with
the secession Of the rebel States, or to resist
by force those engaged in breaking up the
national unity and, in short, that the Gov
ernment cause is an unjust one-that those
who have marched and fought and bled and
died in that cause have been fighting on
the wrong side from beginning to end.
The government having heen all in the
,rrong and the rebels in the righf, the con-
ventIon say the war on the part OF the Gov
ernment must stop at Ohoe-and convention
he held. Of which the rebel leaders are to
constitute part, to agree with them on
what terms they will abandon their sworn
| intention to torn separate government
/ Moreover. as all the so-called interference of
the military with elections, which the con-
vcntion denounces. has been 10 require
in places where rebels were active
those who would vote to take the
oath of allegiance, the inference is plain
that the Convention and Its adher'
ents hold that rebels against the lawful gov
ernment have as good right to vote as loya
men.
To sum the whole up, the resolutions, not.
withstandlng the few soft hypocritical anC
meaningless expressions of coincidence will
the suffering soldiers, ,re expressive Of I
hearty sympathy with the rebellion, and I
deadly hostility to all who have been, wh'
are, and who intend to be, opposed to i
root and branch.
JEFF. Davis himself could ask no terms
which a National Convention composed o
such men az those who adopted these resolu
tiops would not cheerfullv grant.

Who refused offers of Compromise !

Among the false statements Of the copper
head press, and one reiterated by the Presi-
dent Of the Chicago Convention in his open
Ing speech, Is the assertion that the Repub-
licans Of l5G0 spurned all measures of Com
promise which would have avertcd he war.
This is proved false by the records Of the
session Of Congress and Of the " Peace Con-
ference" during the winter Of lS60-1,
wherein no less than five distinct propositions
of compromise were made by tie Republicans
and spurned by the rebels. We reprint from
the y. Y Tribune, a succinct summary Of
these offers, which it is well to recall in times
like these
Il. Mr.. An on, o Rhode Island. (Repub-
lican) proposed in the Senate, (January l6,
1861 that New Mexico, including Arizona,
and thus covering all the territory then real

pie should zee fit to frame, although Slavery
was recognized and protected therein by ex-
isting territorial law. lie intimated that he
was authorized by other republican Senator'S
to make this offer as a compromise, TO Re

the other side. No Democrat accepted it
so it fell to the ground.

proper to apologize for such corruption, but he
