The Union md the Democratic Plat
forms COutrasted.

|. The Union Platform atirms the duty of
maintaining the integrity Of the Union and
the paramount authority Of its Constitution
and laws. The Democratic pledges "un-
swerring fidelity" to the Union, but is silent
as to the duty aforesaid.
= II. The Union Platform treats the rebel
lion as tcronq-as wicked and unjustitiable-
and demands its complete suppression. 1t
does not propose to buy Peace, but make
one, by constraining the rebels to submit to
lawful authority, and deport themselves here
after like law abiding citizens. The Demo-
cratic Platform nowhere condemns the rebel
lion, even BY implication, but rather con-
dems those who have striven to subdue 1t.
III. The Union Platform eXhortS the Gov
eminent to prosecute the war vigorously till
the rebellion shall be suppreSsed-no further.
The Democratic Platform points significantly
to the fact that the rebellion has not yet been
suppressed, deducing therefrom the conclu-
sion that il was mistake to attempt resist
ing rebel force BY force.
". The Union Platform athrms that as
Slavery was the cause and now constitutes
The strength of the rebellion, it ought, in the
interest OF public tranquility and safety, to
be abolished and prohibited. The Democrat
ic platform SAYS nothing Of the sort, but
plainly implies and intends that slavery shall
be preserved and perpetuated.
Y. The Union Platform holds It right that
black as well as white men should tight for
the preservation Of the Union, and be pro-
tected bv the Government in so doing. The
Democratic is silent on this point; but, since
it wishes the war stopped anyhow, it of course
doesn't want "niggers" 10 fight in it.
VI. The Union Platform returns the thanks
OF the American people to the soldiers and
sailors who have fought for their country,
and promises ample provision for those who
have been, or may be disabled in her service.
The Democratic Platform proffers them SYM
pathy and protection, but never intimates
that they have been and are fighting IN
righteous and holy cause.
VII. The Democratic Platform blames
President Lincoln and his Cabinet for almost
everything they have done in resistance TO
the rebellion, but blames the rebels for moth
ing. Even the crueltics of the rebel authori-
ties, in causing our captured brethren to be
exposed, for weary months to the burning
suns and drenching storms Of Georgia, feed.
ing them on twelve ounces Of com meal and
two of putrid pork per day, is charged against
our own Government, without hint that the
rebels have done anything wrong in the
premises.
In short, if Mr.. JEFF Davis had been plat
form-maker for the Chicago Convention, he
could not have treated himself more tenderly,
nor his enterprise more giIgerly, than they
have been in the actual Platform.-N. Y.
Tribune.
