The platform just adopted at Phila-
delPhia is one that the Southern people

,ttequite likely that the party there ral-

elections. We deny, however, that 1t
Is IN any Just sense a 7adtio9tdL platform,
and we cannot see that any regard has
been paid in its construction to the con-
Ytcdons and sensibilitieS OF the South
eFn people. Unfortunately we did not
send the right Kind Of delegates to ne
CoICe1ltiOtl, and those that we did send
appearto have 1legLected their business.
The, whole subject has been treated ex-
ciustYely from q Northern Standpoint,

The Richmond Enquirer, avowediy
speaking for the people of the South,
spurns the platform with especial en-
phasis, It says: s54w
~ Our people cqNsiot honestly subscribe
to all Of the doctrines and the afiirma-
tions OF these papers, for it is notorious
we do not concur in them. And We
Bhopld abandon every ground ON which
depends our seH-respect and our -,justi-
