The Boston Journal gives the following
very good analysis of the above platform:
One Hedge-not TO secede themselves
being their resolution in favor of adhering to
the Union as heretofore.
Thirteen DenunciationS-all aimed at the
President of the United States (who still
lives.)
one Thredt-to take up arms against the
said President.
one Demand-for an immediate cessation
of hostilities.
One Promise-to give to the Union soldier
" care, protection, regard and kindness
which it is doubtful if they have to give
when they "attain 10 power" which it i.
quite certain will never be.
One Grand Nistake-the omission of all
reference to the rebellion, including the omis.
SIGN of the duty of clearing their skirts OF
sympathy with the same.

The Chicago Platform.

The following resolutions we're adopted
with but four dissenting voices:
Resolred, That in the future, as in the
past, we will adhere with answering fidelity
to the Union under the Constitution as the
only solid foundation Of our strength, securi-
ty and happiness as people, and as frame
work of government equally conducive to
the prosperity of all the States both Northern
and Southern.
Resolred, That this Convention does ex-
plicitly declare as the sense of the American
people, that after four years of failure to re-
store the Union by the experiment Of war,
during which, under pretence of military
necessity or war power higher than the Cons
titution, the Constitution has been disregar-
ded in every part, and public liberty and
private rights alike trodden down and the
material prosperity of the country essentially
impaired, justice, humanity, liberty and the
public welfare demand that immediate efforts
be made for cessation of hostilities with a
view to an ultimate Convention of all the
States, or other peaceable means, to the end
that at the earliest practical moment peace
may be restored on the basis of the Federal
union of the States.
Resolred, That the direct interference o.
the military authority of the United States il
the recent election held in Kentucky, Mary.
land, Missouri and Delaware was a shameful
violation of the Constitution, and the repeti
ton of such acts will be held as revolutionar,
and resisted with all the means and powe
under our control.
Resolved, That the aim and object of tn
democratic party is to preserve the Fedora
Union and the rights of the States unimpair
ed, and they hereby declare that they consid
er the Administrative usurpation of extra
ordinary and dangerous powers not granite
by the Constitution, the subversion of civ
and military law in States not in instruction
the arbitrary military arrest, Imprisonment
trial and sentence of American citizens i
> States where the civil law exists In full fore,
, the suppression Of the freedom of speech an
of the press, the denial of the right of asylu:

rights, the employment of unusual test oati
, and interference with and denial Of the rigl
OF the people to bear arms, as calculated
prevent the restoration of the Union and pc
petuation Of a government deriving its iu
power from the consent of the governed.
