NEnssnchuscits Radical Platform.
The following is synopsis of the reso

lutions adopted by The recent Republ
can State Convention III Massachusetts
The first recognizes the Divine hand il
leading our armies t0 victory.
The second cOngratulates ana thanks
our brave soldiers and seamen.'
The third extends cordial welcome
and confidence to President Johnson
plcdging him unanimous goodwill aud
support in his efforts to establish gov
crnment in the South on the basis of eX
act justice to all.
The fourth rcafirms the platform oi
the last National Convention on the sub
iect of slavery, and asks that there be nc
relaxation, 10y Congress nr the Admins
tratiOn. of the vigGt or vigilance IN the
government of the rcvoted States, which
would put at hazard the rights 0f the
people to whom the national faith is
pledged, or which would leave in South
ern society the seeds ui the uatioual
crime-slavery.
The fifth agrees with the Republicans
of Pennsylvania that the people lately
in rebellion can not be safely intrnsted
with the political rights they forfeited
until they secure to all men within theiI
borders rhe iLalienable right to liberty
aud the pursuit of happiness; and calls
upon Congress to see that the loyal peo
pie, white and black, shall have the most
perfect guarantees for their safety before
any final steps be taken toward restoring
the revoted people of the south to then
forfeited rights
The sixth declare, that no part ot the
powers Of the Government can be safely
committed to the Southern men lately
in rebellion and arms, OF 10 the Northern
men who, at Chicago, declared the cX-
pertinent of war to restore the Union a
failure, &c.
The seventh says that no confidence
ought to be placed in professions of or.
carnations that declared the necessary
protection Of the polls from the assault
of ruffians and traitors, to be shameful
violation of the Constitution. which
ought to be resisted, and that now seeks
to reinstate itself in power by the
nomination of soldiers, and passing reso-
lutions of confidence in a Republican
Administration
The eighth says We have 40 new theo-
ries in relation to negro suffrage, but op-
poses allowing the elective franchise to
rebels and traitorous politicians, while
loyal men who have borne arms and shed
their blood in our nations defense are eX-
cluded, and Congress should maintain
the public faith toward the freedmen
while it provides for the peace, sOlvency
and security of the country
After addresses from General Butler
and others the Convention adjourned.

The Position OF Mississippi.

The New Orleans PicdyaRe rebnts the
oft repeated assertion that there exists
on the part of Southern men secret
purpose to restore slavery, aud refers to
| the recent action of the Mississippi
convention as conclusive evidence to the
contrary, as follows:
Mississippi was the leading, the lar
gest slaveholding State in the Union
The number of her slaves at the begin
ming of the late war reached half mil
lion; their money value was two hundred
and fifty millions of dollars, on the gold
standard BY vote of 81 to ii the
convention representing the sovereignty
of the State has determined that slavery
no longer exists in Mississippi. That
convention is no bogus body, elected by
fraud and military interference, as were
the conventions in this and other States
during the war. Nor was it composed
of so-called Union men, or of Ofadyenturers,
who had no interests in slave property,
who could. without sacrifice destroy an
institution in which those who were ex-
cluded from any participation in the ac-
ton of the body were alone Interested
1t was Il cheap sacrifice for such bodies to
vote away other peoples property. But
when it comes before body like the con-
vention in Mississippi, nearly every men,
Der of which had the bulk of his proper
ty in slaves, the great majority of whom
were engaged in the late war, in resist.
ance to the efforts of the Federal Gov.
crnmcnt to overthrow the system, this
vote is significant and conclusive. II is
the voice of the real people of Mississippi.
1t is the enormous sacrifice thev make to
resume their place in the old Union. 1t
is the cost of their failure i'll the war just
determined against them Unlike the
proclamatiOns of the President and OF
military commanders, and of the acts OF
Congress, it is an act of no doubtful or
questionable legality Under the old
laws and judicial decisions of Mississippi
and of the Southern States, the princi.
pie :" that once free always free" was nj.
ways recognized The half a million of
colorrd people of theS have acquired
an indcfeasible title to their freedom,
which can never be questioned in any
court in Christendom."

Governor Brownlow, 0f tennessee,
in an editorial in his Wing, Of Aug. 3Oth,
says:
CoLoRED MEN SHOOTING WHITE MEN.
On Sunday n colored soldier shot a
white man in the leg. The following
Friday several colored soldiers fred,
without effect, on white man at the
depot. The next Sunday cOlored sol.
der shot and killed o white soldier OF
the 9Th Tennessee Cavalry, on his way
to be mustered out. The circumstances
are not known, and both parties in such
case are held to blame. On the same
Sunday. on Gay street, III Knoxville, Al
len Hendricks, of Company A, 9th Ten
nessee Cavalry, was run through the
chest by colored soldier, and died in
stantly. A soldier of the 9th was drunk,
and in a difficulty with the colored SOL
dier. when Hendricks went forward to
take his comrade to his regiment, but
the colored soldier in most unwarrant-
able manner drove his bayonet through
him. He leaves wife and children -
This murder has produced intense feel
ing among the Tennessee troops, and it
will require irmness and skill on the
part of the officers commanding both
parties, to prevent serious trouble. We
oppose any war on colored troops; the
government put them into the service
and they are entitled to fair showing.
But we are opposed to the freedom with
which they use their bayonets and level
their muskets at white men. Loyal
men don't propose TO be shot down like
dops by mem Of any color, or to be run
through with bayonets at every corner.
The truth is that no troops are needed
in East Tennessee. Each Sheriff is au-
thorized to keep force adequate to the
order and quiet demanded, at the ex-
pense of the county.

A NEW CABIE.-The latest news fro

A NEW CABLE.-The latest news from
Europe contains report that the Allan
tic Telegraph Company have formally
resolved upon manufacturing new ca
ble-by which it is probably meant to
begin their enterprise again, instead of
attempting to mend the broken line
They have doubtless learned, from the
experiment made, that their wire and
itscoating were less perfect than they had
been led to suppose, But for the flaws
in the lost cable, no hauling ia would
have been necessary and ten to one there
would have been no break. 1t seems to
be wise to begin the work again from
the beginning.
