THEsDEMoCRATIC PLATFORM
OF BERKS.

The Democracy of Pennsylvania in Convention
net, recognizing crisis in the affairs OF me he
public and esteeming the immediate restoration 81
the Union paramount to all other issues, do re-
solve:
|. That the States whereof the people were la te-
ly in rebellion, are integral parts of the union and
are entitled TO representation in Congress by men
duly elected who bear true faith to the Constitution
and Laws, and in der TO vin3icate the maxim that
taxation without representation is tyranny, such
representatives should be forthwith admitted.
=. That the faith of the Republic is pledged to
the payment of the National debt, and Congress
should pass all laws necessary tor that purpose.
3. That obedience to the Constitution OF
she United States (ncluding the amendment prohib-
iting savery) and under its provisions will accord
to those emanepated all their rights of person and
property.
4 That each State has the exclusive right to
regulate the quali6catiO of its own electors.
5. That the white alone is entitled To the con-
try' OF the Government of the Republic, and we are
unwilling to grant to negroes the right to vote.
&. That the bold enunciatiOn of the principles of
The Constitution and the policy of restoration con-
aimed in the recent annual message and freedmen's
bureau veto message of President johnson entitle
him to the confidence aud support of all who respect
the Constitution and love their country.
Z That the patton owes to the brave of our
aru4ies and,navy debt of lasting gratitude for
their heroic service in defence of the Consti tion
and the GRIoD and tn at while we cherish wit h
tender affection the memories of the fallen we
pledge to their widows and orphans the nation;
and protection.
s. That We urge upon Congress the duty OF equal
Izing the bouDties of our sc ldiers and sailors.

A Prcsuming Negro.

Aaron Bradley, the darkey lawyer of
b oston, who has been lionized by certain
parties for some time past, instituted a
suit yesterday, at Baltimore, claiming
damages from the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company for refusing to comply
with the terms of contract by which he
paid $1.50 to be transported from w ash
ington to Baltimore. The plaintiff alleges
that he was elected from car in contempt
of a law of the United States, on account
of his color. race, &c, and brings civil
suit to recover the amount of his fare, and
damages laid at one hundred dollars. j.
H. 3. Latrope appeared for the defendan
He stated that under the laws of the State
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
derived authority to make rules and regu-
lations for the government Of travel. They
had absolute authority to refuse white men
the privilege Of entering cars occupied 10y
ladies, &c He had never heard that
white men ever questioned the proprietv
OF their rCles, which were adopted for the
sole purpose of contributing to the general
pleasure of travellers on that great h oh,
way to the West. Justice Hayward, after
listening to the argument in the case, en-
tered Judgment Of not pros, which is sup.
posed to mean that there was no cause OF
action. The great trouble with these ne.
Groes is, that they cndeavOr to force them.
selves where white men arc not allowed tC

rights than so many babboons, and, in con
sequence cause great trouble bv their i'm
! pudence and presumption. knowing, as tn, y
do, that whatever outrage shcy commit, nc
matter how stunning, they will bc backec
up by host of howlir.g dervishes of the
Radical school.
1t appears that this nigger Bradley has

inhabitants of Colorado, to be richer in
mineral wealth and agricultural resources.
If, however, Colorado has not really deelin-
ed IN population, another census or anoth-
er election under the authority of Congress
would place the question b&yond doubt
and cause but little delay in the ultimate
admission OF the territory as state, if de-
sired by the people. The tenor of the OBJ
lection furnishes the reply which may be
expected to an argument in favor OF the
measure derived from the enabling act.
which was passed by Congress on the 2 lst
day of March, 1864. Although Congress
then supposed that the condition OF the
territory was such to warrant its admis-
sion as a state, the result of two years ex-
perence shows that every reason which
existed for the institution of a rritorlal
instead of State Government in ColaradO
at its first organization still continues in
force. The condition of the Union at the
present moment is calcuIat to inspire
caution in regard to the admission of new
States. Eleven of the old States have
been for some time, and still remain, I'M
represented in Congress. 1t is common
interest of all the States, as well of those
unrepresented, that the integrity and har-
mony of the Union should be restored as
completely as possible, so that all those
who are expected to bear the burdens OF
the federal government shall be consulted
concerning the admission of new states,
and that in the meantime no new state
shall be prematurely and unnecessarily ad
mittcd to a participation in the political
power WI ch the federal government WELD:
not for the benefit of any Individual states
or section, but for the common safety, vel
fare and happiness of the whole country

AN IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN--It has been
generally supposed that legal instruments
were not valid unless they had the prescrl5-
ed revenue stamps upon them. But Judge
Hoar, of the Supreme Court Of Massachr-
sets, one of the most eminent jurists in
the country, has decided that this is not
the case. The New Bedford Mercury says:
" In case before the Supreme Judicial
Court in Taunton, the question of the vail
dity of a deed, to which no revenue stamp
was affixed, was raised. Judge Hoar un-
hesitatingly decided that the absence of
the stamp does not invalidate the deed.
He questioned whether Congress so in-
tended in framing the internal revenue
law, but was clear in the opinion that a
statute of the United States undertaking
to invaidate an instrument which by the
laws of the State is valid, would be uncon-
stitutional. The government may exact a
penalty for failure to affix stamp, but can
not make void the instrument for the lack
of the stamp"

The Soldiers Movin.--but not for Geary.
Two hundred and thirty-fve honora-
bly, discharged soldiers signed call for a
meeting to be held in the Court House at
York, to organize "Johnson and Clymer
Soldiers Club" The meeting took place
last Saturday evening, and a series of res
olutions were adopted, among which were
the following:
Resolved, That having fought for the
Union, and assisted in restoring the ma
tional authority throughout the land, we
are unalterably opposed to the Radicals
of Congress who are attempting to do
what the rebels failed to do-subvert over
free institutions ard destroy the Union.
RssotOed, That we will stand by Andrew
johnson in his noble efforts to defeat the
bold, ban men who stand in the way OF
the restoration of the States to their full
constitutional rights, and that we believe
that his magnanimous policy is only to be
found sure road to a restoration of a
Union of hearts, and Union of States,
and peace and prosperity to the land.
Resol0ed, That WE believe that the Hon
Hester CIymer. the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania, holds upon
all the great principles or public policy
views similar to our own, and is firm
supporter of President Johnson, and that
therefore We will support him with our
voices and votes.
We learn from the Gazette that the
meeting was great success, and that the
club formed at that time is increasing in
plumbers and influence. The 'boys in
blue," who fought for the Union. sustain
President johnson, and cannot give their
votes to the mock "hero" of the Rumps-
John W. Geary-who is joined with the
Radical disunionists in their revolutionary
and reasonable attempts to overthrow the
Constitutions.

A PREDICTION THAT WILL BE VERIFIED.
THAD. S1EvENs has told the truth for once
In a recent speech on the Reconstruction
amendment, arguing in favor of its speedy
adoption, he says:
':Before another Congress shall have as
sembled here, and before this can be carried
into full effect, there ,oiH be no friends ofthe
Union party (disunion he meaut-ED )teft
NJ this side of the House to carry 1t out"
God grant that this prediction of the old
sinner may be verified. We have no doubt
bat it will. 1.-THE American people are to
govern ,hemselves-if this government
was made for white mes and is to be con-
trolled by them-if the laboring classes are
not to be ensiayed, and degra ded to a leve
with the negro-if we are to have Repub-
aEc and Pennsylyanians are to remain Penn
the halls OF Congress
must be cleared of that weatt er-eock of
niggerdon, and scion Of monarchy-the dis
union party. That STEVENS prediction
may come true, is the prayer of every pa
triot.

The Tornado at Rochester.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, May "a, 1856


The damage by the storm here yester-
day afternoon WAS very great. The loss
may be estimated by tens of thousands of
dollars. Buildings were uuroofed, windows
destroyed, young trees and plants cut down
by the hail, and gardens wholly ruined
The nurseries suffered much. The storm
covered an area offour miles, but the hail
was limited to two miles. Hail stones of
over an inch in diameter covered the ground
Thev'cut the limbs from trees and killed
thousands of birds, which had taken refuge
in the foliage Several children were in
jured by the hail, and number of animals
were killed. The lightning struck the
stone chapel in Mount Hope Cemetery,
where many people had taken refuge, but
none were severely injured. The build
ings were somewhat damaged. St. Mary's
Hospital was partly unroofed. The glass
manufacturing establishment of the Roche
ter Chemical Works was partly demoIish-
ed, involving large loss of glass. The
storekeepers opened their stores on Sun
day evening to enable the citizens to get
materials to make their houses tenable for
the night.

Congress CrIrging 10 the Lash Applied by
Negrn.

George I Downin, Presids Mt of the
colored delegation at Washington, has ad-
dressed card to their friends in Congress
against the report of the Committee on Re-
construction, passed by the House on the
10th inst, and which will be considered
next week in the Senate, in which he says
this report falls heavily on the hopes of the
colered man, and disappoints the expecta-
ton of the times, and is altogether far short
OF what the best interests OF our country
demands. Amongst other things it Is re-
marked there is scarcely member OF the
house who voted in favor oil theproposition,
bat who believed that not only according
to justice, but in accordance with the spirit
of the Constitution aud the principle ON
which the government is based, the right
of every citizen, without regard to complex
ion, to have voice, or representations with
every other citizen, is uRquestionable. and
there is nothing in the Constitution which
forbids Congress securing this right unto
every citizen.
When during the history of this country.
has Congress opened its doors for the inter
ference or presumption of white man, to
have his ''card" considered as of para
mount consequence Yet here we have
the fact staring Christendom, that the Con
grtss of the United States willis under the
Yebuke Of negroes for not doing as their
superior wisdom indicates.
