THE RASKIN PLATFORM.

The Haskin platform In Sex York is first
rate as a surprise. Like 'Blondtn's rope
ACROSS the Niagara chasm, 1t creates start
ling sensation, tue wonder being thst anybody
can stand on IL. It is mol identified with any
policy the Democratic party ever advocated,
either before or after the WAT. 1t does not
oppose arbitrary arrests, the suspension of
the Aabtas eo,7uz, military tribunals, aboli-
tionism, the National banking system, nor any
other Of the policies OF the Republican
party. II endorses President Johnson's
plan of reconstruction, bnt that is
endorsing q carte blanche for his plan
Of reconstruction like Lincoln's pIan
of subduine the rebellion, Is whatever he
finds It necessary to make it. The policies
which to-day are tried, tomorrow may be
discarded, and those which are discarded to-
day may be tried tomorrow. The Haskm
platform swaps democracy If there is
any such thing, for whatever Andrew John
SON may choose to give them.
snch platfoEm as this, with Republican
Generals md tree-so1lers for candidates, who
derived al their reputation either from fight
tng in wnr which the Democratic party op-
posed, or from an anti-slavery agitation
which they have emphatically condemned, is
not calculated to call out very full Demo
cratic vote, and II the Republicans do hal1
their duty, the State IS sure for the
Union party. Already Democratic
Convention, composed of delegates from
tlirty-dsr Assembly Districts, has met Mt
Cooper Institute and repudiated the 1'latfof1n.
There will probably be no organized split
ticket in the field, hut rery many Democrats
will vote only for the Democrats On The tick
et, and very many more will not vote at oil.

AT an impromptu gathering OF the
people at Washington City, after the
evacuation Of Richmond, President
Andrew Johnson, being called upon,
addressed the people ir substance as
follows:
He said, at the breaking out OF
the rebellion he was the only South
ern Senator that dissented from the
views of the sccessionists that he
thoroughly examined the subject, and
formed in his mind deliberate ,jung-
ment a. to the policy which should
be adopted by the Government in
dealing with the traitors. He pro
tessed TO be a humane man, and was
decidedly inclined to leni ncy in his
dealings with the rebels. This was
his policy four years ago; it WAS the
same to-day. But he must explain
what he INFANT by leniency. He be-
lieved that hanging was too light q
punishment. for the leading traitors,
but his Kindness of heart forbid his
advocacy of any other more harsh.
! HI said that the leaders,-those who
incited aud kept up the rebellion,-
should and must be Aumg-Aumg as
| high a. HaInan. The wealthy trai-
tors at home,-those who had en-
couraged but not participated in the
war,-should at least be stripped of
their ilI-gotten wealth. This should
be distributed among the poor, hon
est, hard working loyal men of the
country. Treason should be de-
stroyed, root and branch; and the
way TO DO this was to deprive the
leading traitors. whether in civil,
military, or private life, of all power
TO do mischief hereafter, In word,
he would hang every leader, whether
in civil or military life, ard strip OF
their iII-gotten wealth those in private
station.
