THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC PLArroR.

The TRUE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Notwithstanding the extreme
poverty of the Judges (Thurman's
speech it must not be supposed that
the so-called Democratic party is
not in favor Of anything. 1t has a
platform down deep in the hearts of
its leaders; a platform which they
would execute to the litter if they
had the power.
This platform has not been for
mally drawn out in resolutions, OF
proclaimed by conventions; but it
breathes through all their speeches,
peryades their literature, and is
found openly or covertly in every
column Of their newspapers. 1t is
the platform Of desperation, of min
gled hate and revenge, and an un-
conquerable attachment to the abu-
ses and errors of the past And the
chief planks in it may be described
as follows:
The reputation of the National
Debt
The restoration of slavery, or, if
that can not be done, payment by
the Nation for the slaves.
Pensioning the soldiers, widows
and orphans of the Confederate
army.
Recognition of the right of seccs-
sion.
And the unconditional return of
rebels to political power.-Gov.
Norton.

A oopperhoad speech.

Fellow. we are now IN
the darkest Of our history The
Niger has reached that point be-
yond which lie ceases TO be aYirtue.
Not satisfied with having oyershad-
owed all our past, he rises in his
awful blackness and darkens all our
future. or
Consider, fellow citizens, the
monotrous wrongs the Niger has
committed against the American
people. Consider how he smuggled
his contemplate carcass upon our
colonial forcfathers' ships off the
coast Of Africa, and how the fore
fathers were forced to sell him here
for his passage-money. How that
cursed Niger had the internal i'm
pudence to come among us in that
manner, and to "increase and mul-
tiply, and replenish the earth," till
there was no longer room for him
in the States he had obtruded upon
and the people of those States had
to look out for territories to put
him in. How he refused to 90 into
the territories. How the people
who had done so much for him,
feeding him, and fogging him, and
christianizing him, bore his insolent
and defiant resistance as long as
they could, and at last were compell-
ed to take steps to put him in. How
he joined the id abolitionists and
with them actually made war ragainst
the very men who had always been
his best friends, sticking to him clo-
ser than a brother
Consider, fellow-citizens how the
Niger brought on this unholy war.
If it had not been for the Nigger,
would the unfortunate Democrats
of South Carolina ever have been
obliged to fire on Fort Sumter?
If it had net been for the Niger,
would two hundred and fifty thou
sand Democratic votes have been
drowned in blood? If it had not
been for the Niger, would the
chiyalric Lee now be obscure and
brOken-hearted, or the gallant
Breckinridge wandering in exile, or
the noble Davis wrecked from pris-
on and fugitive from his native
land?
Such is the devilish work of the
Niggcrs in this country, my fellow
citizens! And yet his work is not
half-done. The Niger insists on
war of races; on Memphis and
New Orleans massacres; on free
schools; on rights to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness; and
now, damme! on the right to vote
Itself! Look you, on the right to
cotei
Why what in the thunder are we
coming to? 1 see no way out. 1t
s black every way to the horizon.
The Niger Wershadows us till we
,an no longer see the sun, nor the
noon nor the stars.
Friends! Democrats Copper
heads lend me your ears The
Niger must be crushed There is
no other salvation for the country!
The Niger must be crushed or our
iberties are lost forever. Crush
he Niger! or the constitution can
never be restored Crush the Mig
ger! or the sun of Democracy shall
set, never to rise again. Crush the
Niger! or the Offices of your gov
shall pass away, your
shall be mulottoes,
md your daughters shall go about
he streets mourning their conf
lence betrayed. Crush the Niger!
Make one all-killing effort more!
It is your highest, holiest duty!-
Rise and crush the Niger !-Xenta

NAIL THAT LIEl

The Democratic papers, stumpers
and workers, are re-iterating the as
sertion that the passage of the
amendment will sweep away all the
regulations in regard to separate
schools for white and cOlored chill
dren. We have shown in this pa
per that this cannot be done. The
amendment will not effect this mat
ter one way or the other. The
schools will stand upon the same
footing then as now, They are re-
quired to be separate-and they
will be required to be separate when
the amendment passes. Our peo-
pie should meet this falsehood
wherever the enemy are dissemina-
ting it. Many who do not read, or
who are not posted on the law, are
prejudiced by this hue and cry
about negro children being in the
same schools.-Scioto Gazette.
