ASSURING SENTIMENTS.

We publish this evening the platform
adopted by the Cleveland Convention.
One passage will strike the attention Of
the reader. The authors of it pledge
themselves to take up arms to maintain
the Union against any armed resistance
to its authority, whether in the South,
North. East or West. The language is
emphatic, and means what it says. 1t
is intended, obviously, as notice to the
Radical party that whenever it attempts
TO resist the restoration of the States by
force of arms, it will meet arms.
1t may serve as a hint to our Governor,
and may fall like frost upon the burst
ing buds of his revolutionary policy.
We commend the language to his atten-
ton. We hail it with pleasure, because
lis an assurance to tho Southern people
that they cannot be trampled upon with
impunity, and that they have defenders
in the North ready to come TO their de-
tense against those who would, IN the m
terest of disunion, desolate their country
with fire, sword and famine, No longer
in a condition to champion their own
cause, our people look with pleasure to
the assurance of those who are able and
willing to do it when il is loyal to the
Union. Whether the elections soon to
occur in the North and West shall or
shall not result in the triumph of Con-
seryative Unionism, there will be no
armed oppression of the Souih-no
armed overthrow of the rights of citizen
ship. We have new point to start from,
and fair gale to conduct us to the old
harbor of peace.

WESTERN BORDER.
Mob in Possession of Platte City

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1.-THE Democrat
Leavenworth special says: After the ad
journment of the Platte county Radical
Convention at Platte City, No., on Sat
urday, drunken Union soldier named
Donnegan made some noise on the
street, and fourished pistol about con-
siderable. Sheriff Ogden took his pistol
away, and told him to keep quiet, which
he did.
A short time afterwards returned
Confederate named Callahan, acting as
City Marshal, with posse of ten men,
demanded the surrender of Donnegan.
A scuffle ensued, and pistols were freely
used, resulting in the death of three or
four and wounding eight or ten. A num-
Der of delegates who had started for
home, having heard the firing, returned
to town and were fred upon by Gala
han party and several of their horses
killed under them. Callahan fred twice
at one of the delegates who was lying
under his wounded horse, and was fired
at in return and instantly killed.
The latest accounts say that several
hundred armed bushwhackers hold Platte
City, and have driven all the Radicals
out Of town, and swear they shall not
return. Great excitement prevails.
Governor Fletcher has been applied
to for force to put down the mob. All
accounts agree that Donnegan was I'M

A TERRIBLE RETRIBUTION.
An Accused Man Calls upon God
to Strike Him Dead II He
is Guilty.
He Fails Instantly to the Floor
Corpse.

From the Chicago Times. 17th.l
Whatever version may be gwen TO a
eircumsta nee that occurred in this city
yesterday afternoon, the most thoughtless
must per force admit that the result is
both strange and startling, and well
calculated 10 turn the serious man to
profound meditation, and ever stay the
reckless man in his course. A man Of
robust health, and in the prime Of life,
is accused of a crime under circumstan-
ces Of almost positive proofs Of guilt,
and while he calls upon God to bear wit
ness to his innocence, is struck dead be-
fore the appeal has left his lips. In
credible as the circumstances may
appear, they are literally true
A little over year ago there lived in
a small village in Sweden a man by the
name of Rosencrist, whose ostensible
pursuit was that of tailor, but rumor
had it that his principal revenue was
derived from poaching and stealing, and
at last this impression was so strongly
confirmed that he suddenly left the vii

came to this country about eight months

FROM WASHINGTON.
Treasury People at the White
House.
Address from MIR. Wilson.
A Few Words from A. ].

WASHINGTON, September l7-Mr Will
son, on behalf of the heads of bureaus
of the Treasury Department, welcomed
the President home, and congratulated
both him and themselves upon his safe
return to the scene Of his official duties.
This afternoon the heads of the bu-
reaus of the Treasury Department called
in body upon the President to tender
him their respects and their congratula-
tons upon his safe return from his Yves
tern tour.
He said that on his journey to the
tomb of the great American statesman,
whose memory would live in the hearts
of his countrymen forever, it was a
gratifying reflection that he had met
With many pleasing incidents, and where
he met with annoyance it was but from
men who we're unworthy the name OF
American citizens Our country had
passed through many dangers, and
always with safety, proving ourselves
eminently fit for self government Past
through the last great ordeal, with the
incubus of slavery abolished, they had
great hopes of progressing steadily on
ward in the great race of national pros
perity. Under your protecting care, Mr..
Wilson added, the Union Of thirty-six
States will continue its course Of hRppi-
ness and prosperity.
In reply, President johnson briefly re-
turned his thanks for the visit and the
sentiments expressed, and he said be did
not doubt but perseverance in the course

upon took lodgings at clearinghouse,
No. l44 Burnside street, and tor long
time no suspicious were entertained as
to his character. =.
Recently several valuable articles be-
longing to boarders at the house we're
found missing, but no clue as to the per-
petrator could be detected. Yesterday
afternoon another theft was discovered,
and the proofs of guilt pointed directly
to Rosencrist, no one else having been
near the apartment since the time the
articles stolen were last seen. On being
accused. he stoutly denied the theft, but,
finding no credence was given to the de-
NAL, he suddenly grew more passionate
and lifting his hand to heaven exclaimed
that he hoped his tongue would rot in
his mouth, his head drop from his
shoulders, and God strike him dead on
the spot" if he was guilty. No sooner
had these words escaped his lips, than
he suddenly began to reel and .staggeer,
and before support could be given, he
fell to the floor-dead The excitement
this incident created among the by
ISLANDERS can better be imagined than
described. Strong men stood paralyzed,
women tainted, and none were able to
speak for some minutes. The occur
renee was so horrible, this apparent
retribution so terrible, that men doubted
their senses. But the dead man re-

proof of the reality The rumor of this
strange and startling fatality soon spread
the neigborhood, and in a few
minutes the house was filled with horror
stricken people, none Of whom doubted
that the hand of God was thus made
visible. A physician was called who

The Cincinnati Union says: The neg

natural effect. Among others, SAMUEL

JOHNSON Club, in disgust at the intoler-
ance and ill-temper OF his late associates.
This fact we give on the authority of the

witnessed in every county and precinct
in the State. But to- enforce this
state of things, let us suppose that
black militia companies, fully organized
and thoroughly armed, march up, sur
round the polls, halt, and order arms.
Meanwhile, it is unlawful for the white
