The Issues.
THE PLATFORM OF THE RADICALS.

THE PLATFORM OF THE RADICALS.
/. Negro suffrage is the price we
ask for union of the States.
2. The Freedmen's Bureau to be
kept in operation until the people of
the South are worn out.
3. Military commissions and con-
gressional committees to supercede
civil courts in the South.
4. Eternal hatred toward the South
and new venom to be added daily to
the destructive poisons Of sectional
hate.
5. The firm establishment Of sec
tional war power, despotic in its ma
ture, to override the Constitution,
and the grand principle that just Go
vernments derive their power from
the consent of the governed
6. The establishment of uespotism
upon the grave of a national majority
and the full subjugation of the people
Of the South, in accordance with the
principles herein set forth.
THE NATIONAL UNION PLATFORM.

of that fraternal spirit and affection
which animated our fathers, and
which is the only true guarantee of
union and peace.
4. An immediate restoration of the
Union as Il Government. based upon
the consent of the governed.
5. The supremacy of the ballot-box
the burial of sectional hatred
equal laws, which can be attained in
no other way than by equal repre-
sentation.

ism, and the perpetuity of the prin-
ciples of sclf-government by II peo-
pie.

Te1egraph.
From WILMINGTON.

WASHINGTON, July Mr. Harlan, this
afternoon, sent brief but courteous note
to tho President, resigning the efiee Of
Secretary Of the Interior.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-The Senate pass
ed the bill for the admission of Nebraska; :;
also passed a,Joint resolution so modifying
the-test oath as to permit Senator Patter-
son, OF Tennessee, to take his: seat This
gequres the eoncurrence-o Of the House.
-. The House disagreed ,to tho Senate
amendment to the civil appropriation, ap-
propriating .sl,500,Ooo for repairing tho
Mississippi eyees; also, by large majo-
the salaries Of Congressmen from s., 600 to
5000. The House Judiciary Committee
made report, to-day, relative to tho al
legged completely of Jefferson Davis in the
assassination, wherein they state that it is
notorious that said Davis WAS guilty of
the crime of treason according to the Con-
-stltntion and laws, and the Committee are
Of the opinion that there are no obstacles
to speedy and. impartial trial, which can
be removed by legislation. The evidence
in possession Of the Committee connecting
Jefferson Davis in the assassination Of
President Lincoln justities the Committee
in saying that there Is probable cause to-
believe that he was privy to the measures
which led to the commission of the deed,
but the Investigations which have been
mado by the War Department and the
committee have not resulted in placing the
Government in possession Of all the facts
in the case: 1t is probable, however, that
there will be further prosecution Of the
investigation by the committee and by the
officers Of the Government, t,- which will re-
suit, finally, in q flll development Of the
whole transaction. The capture of the
rebel archives have put the Government in
possession of a mass Of letters, papers and
documents OF various kinds, only Il por-
tion of which has as yet been cxanainei.

TAc-Radical Program me.

We begin to see more and more
developed the radical programme to
seize the Government, to keep it,
and to carry it on, as the Jacobins
did the Government of France. The
following IS from the organ of Sena-
tor Sunner, in Massachusetts:
TIL. lHESIDENcY OF THE SENATE
IN view of the possibilities of the
near future, and the weakness Of the
present Incumbent is it not desirable
that we have some change in the
officer who presides over the Senate9
Mr.. Foster, the present incumbent,
has the eon6denGc Of few. Those
who believe in his party integrity do
not have faith in his courage. A
majority Of Senators doubt both.
Senator Foster, | have reason to
know, has been offered a foreign
mission when Ais term is completed,
on the single condition of his re-
naming qmescent in the Senate,
whatever may occur. Mr.. Foster has
accepted! Were it not mere ques-
ti0n OF etiquette, q false idea of deli
cacy, the Senate majority would
immediately elect another President.
Senators Sherman, of Ohio, Anthony,
OF Rhode Island, and Pomeroy, of
Kansas, are candidates. OF the
three the 1atter is the best, because
most truly radical. But the man in
view Of the possible emergency is
Senator Wade. He has the requisite
ability, skill, and, above ali, the
courage Sherman could not be
: trusted fully; Anthony is Il pleasant
gentleman, but that's all; while
Pomeroy will give way to Nlr. Wade
1t his friends should bring him for
ward Cor Doston ComnOnueohh.
We see here, first, the estimation
the radicals put upon each other, and
next. We have-a confirmation of Mr.
Raymond's letter. and of the ex-
tracts the E.rprcss has made from the
Rochester Democrat and the Worces-
ter (Mass,) .Spy, edited by an NJ. c.
The plan is, after arming the radical
Statcs-as suggested bv Mr.. Ray
mond-to carry on the Government
through Vice President, to be
created by the Senate, the House,
meanwhile, impelching the Presi-
dent Of the United States.
We are living again in ticklish
times, and if the people IN the com
ing clectlons-more especially the
merchants ana manufacturers of the
North and East-do not come to their
senses, we are certain to have another
civil war forced upon us-not merely
sectional civil war, but war among
ourselves, with friends and neigh
bors-for the Government, at all
hazards, will be maintained-thc
Government us our fathers have
handed it down to us, not the Go
vcrnmcnt. OF Il revelation.

RADICAL BEAvADo. 1t is said that
Lane, of Indiana, declared in the late
radical cauc;s in Washington, that
IL million of soldiers would flock to
the Capitol to sustain Congress
against the tyranny of the President. y
If that be true, it would not be the
soldiers who fought for the very
object that the President is laboring
to effect, the restoration of the Union.
If any million come, it would be
those who are soldiers in peace,
citizens in war

NEGROES KICKED INTO THE STREETS

on which the houses stood being re-
quired for commercial purposes

TYING THE PRESIDENTIAL HANDS.
Short sighted and petty. indeed. must
be the minds Of public men who
cannot see that disgust rather than
satisfaction will be excited by their
efforts to forbid President Jollnson's s
exercising the executive right of re-
moval from Office in the interval be-
tween the present session Of Congress
and the next. The matter was tho
roughly discussed in an early Admin
istration, and the Presidents prero-
gativc, derived, like the Legislative
authority of Congress, from the Con-
stltution, Was then conceded on all
sides. Since then, the practice has
abnndantly confirmed that early de-
clslon OF the men who took part in
the framing OF tl1e Constitution and
in setting it in operation. At first,
the power OF removal by the Presi-
dent extended to judicial as well Us
executive officers of the Government; !;
but that was afterwards changed, the
reason being that, since the Presi-
dent was responsible to the country
only for the conduct Of the Executive
Department of the Government, and
not OF the Judicial, much less Of the
Legislative, he ought to have and
should have IN absolute power of re-
moval.
In t..~ilson's Administration, the
hamperlng process was again tried,
and Al great stir was made over his re-
moval Of Secretary Duane; but after
all the debate and excitement, it was
conceded by leaders in the opposi-
ton, like Mr.. Webster, that President
Jackson had exercised no other right
than one which was his under the
Constitution. But the restless and
reckless radicals of to-day seriously
propose to lcgislate SO as to forbid
President Johnson's making IL single
removal. Was there ever so pitiful
an attempt to degrade the Presidcn-
tial office? 1t can no longer be doubt
ed, we think, that Office and power is
the great end of those progress-pro-
Tossing radicals. For this, thcywould
make the session permanent if they
dared. For this, they keep the eleven
Southern States nnrepresented in
Congress, hich is still called na-
tional. For tllie, they would peril all
that is OF value with the Union, and
trample Constitution and laws under
foot. And it is for this, too, that the
people will soon dismiss them from
their places, and summon in their
stead new class of servants whose
patriotism will be we'll assured.

Interesting Foreizn Details.


We have the following additional
European intelligence by the Scotia,
which arrived at New York on the
oath, with Liverpool dates of the
18th inst:
NOTE OF WARNING FROM RUSSIA.
The Moscow Gazette says: Russia
does not desire any change in the
present state of things in Europe If
Austria and Prussia will render them
selves tools Of Frnnee, Russia can no
longer depend on them as heretofore.
Venetia, without Rome, would con-
stltute no progress for Italy, and the
submission OF Austria to France is
not advantageous, but dangerous to
the European equilibrium. The SUI.
premacy of Prussia in Northern Ger
many narrows that of Russia in the
Baltic. Russia's love of peace does
not san ction efforts to attain supreme
power. England's4 interests may
make her seek an alliance with
France and Austria on the Eastern
question, but tho dictatorship of
France in Italy and Germany cannot
meet with her support. All soldiers
on furlough in Russia have been call
ed in, and every day military trains
start from Warsaw to the frontier of
Slesia and Galicia.
THE CESSION OF vENETIA
? A despatch from Florence, July
IS, says: The Court of Berlin has de-
clared to the Italian Cabinet that IN
armistice on the basis Of the cession
of Eenetia is admissible Gnadmissi-
BILE. The italian Government, ia
reply, is said to have announced its
resolution to continue offensive opc-
rations against the Austrian Emperor
without relaxation, in conformity
with the engagement mutually enter
ed into by Prussia and Italy, until
both powers have obtained from Aus
tria satisfactory terms for the conclu-
sion of peace.
= = CONDITIONS OF AN AKAIIsTICE.
The Nacion, of Florence, of July
IL, publishes a statement of the con-
ditions for an armistice stipulated by
Prussia and Italy. The former power
demanded the exclusion Of Austria
from the Germanic Confederation.
The Nacioa adds: This was admitted
by France, who undertook to obtain
the assent of the Vienna Cabinet to
the evacuation by Austria of the Aus
trian provinces occupied by Prussia
during the ar1nistice On the part Of
Italy, the conditions were the cession
of the Italian Territories under Aus
trian dominion, including the italian
portion of the Tyrol Austria was to
make the cession direct to Italy with
out compensation, and not to raise
the Roman question during the ncgo-
tlations for peace. 1t appears that
these conditions have been found in
admissible at Vienna, and that the
Austrian Government has resolved to
try the fortunes of war.
WAR NEWS.
Vienna dispatches State that the
Austrian forces in Ncnctia axe being
withdrawn from before the italians,
but that the fortrcsses remain strong
ly garrisoned for defence without
support from the army.
La France, Of the 18th, says: The
attack Of the Italians upon Venetia
renders Prince Napoleon's mission
futile, and it has been abandoned.

concessions to Hungary He an
nounces that the conscription is sus-
pended, and calls upon the Hunsari-
