! GOV. SEYMOUR ENDORSES THE
GREENBACK PLATFORM.
We took the position the other day
that Gov Seymour cordially Endorses the
greenbaek platform adopted by the Demo
cratic National Convention, and that
being an honest man, those who favored
that policy could have no hesitation in
trusting him. His Endorsement Of this
platform removes all possible objection
which caAbs nrged against Gov. Seymour
in the South and West, where the greehN
back policy has been received with such
favor He is a man Of high and unbleTa-
ished honor, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer, and will faithfully carry out all
the pledges which he makes to the people.
He will be true TO the platform upon
which he was nominated and has con-
scented to stand Here are the documents
in connection with one another as they
ought to be circulated and will be eircu-
lated from one extremity Of the country
to the other. First here is the platform
itself:
eREENBACK PLATFORM ADOPTED BY THE
NEW YORK CONVENTION. ID
'3. Payment of the public debt Of the
United States as rapidly as practicable;
all moneys drawn from the people by tax
alton, except So much as is requisite for
the necessities Of the government economi-
cally administered, being honestly applied
TO such payment and where the obliga-
tions Of the government do not expressly
state upon their face, or the law under
which they were issued does not provide
that they shall be paid in coin, they ought,
IN right and IN justice, be paid in the lG1yId
money Of the United States.
a. Equal taxation of every species Of
property according to its real value, in
Guiding government bonds and other pub
lie securities.
"5. One currency for the government
and the people, the laborer and the Office
holder, the pensiOner and the soldier, the
producer and the bondholder."
The above speaks for itself, and is its
own best commentary. 1t is plain and
explicit, and is not susceptible of two
meanings. The Radical papers admit
this, as will be seen by the following,
which we take from the New York COM
mercidl Advertiser
RADICAL IETERPR ETATIoN OF THE PLAT
FORM.
ANY one who was present in the con-
vention yesterday, and witnessed the joy
and ecstacy of the Pendleton men over the
reception of the platform, did not have to
wait to read it to know that it was exclu-
sively of their manufacture. When the
platform was adopted, the great repudi
aior'a supporters set up a yell of delight
which conld have been heard two blocks
away, and they shook hands and slapped
one another upon the shoulder az if the
victory were already won.
and why should they not be merry and
rejoice with exceeding Joy? They had &C
COmplished, 30 far as the platform was con-
cerned, all they demanded. The East had
succumbed TO them, and they had planted
the banner of reputation over the conven-
ton. The Seymour wing had been defeated.
Chase could not now accept the nomination
without stultfying his record, aud giving
the lie to his whole course while Secretary
of the Treasury"
1t only remains for us now to show
that Governor Seymour accepts and in.
dorses this platform, and the work is
done. On Friday Governor Seymour was
notified of his nomination by the MAJ
tional Committee, and from his speech
in acceptance we make the following ex
tract:
Mr.. SEYMOUR ENDORSES THE GREENBACK
PLATFORM. .'
ar. GdiJYnaa and Gentlemen Of the Con-
uenti0n thank you for the courteous terms
in which you have communicated to me
the action of the Democratic National Con-
vention. [Cheers. | have no words
adequate to express my gratitude for the
good will and kindness which that body has
shown TO me. Its nomination was I'M
sought and unexpected. 1t was my ambi-
ton 20 take an active part, from which
am now excluded, in the great struggle
going on for the restoration of good govern
ment peace and prosperity 10 our country.
Great cheering. But have been caught
up by the overwhelming tide that is bear
ing us on to great political change, and /
find myself unable TO resist its power.
Loud cheers. You have also given TO me
a copy Of the resolutions put forth by the
convention, showing its position upon all
the great questions which now agitate the
country. As the presiding officer of that
convention ! am familiar with their scope
and import, and az one of the members
am party to their terms; they are in ae-
cordance with my wish, and | stand upon
them in the contest into which we are now
entering. | shall strive 10 carry them out
in future, wherever l may be placed, in
public or private life. LCheers. y
These documents settle the question.
They place Mr.. Seymour fully in line
with Nj Pendleton, and as such he will
be most cordially sustained by the friends
of the greenback policy in the Northwest,
Standing upon this platform and bearing
the banner of the people against an arts
tocratic and privileged class, Mr. Sey-
mour will be elected by an immense ma
jority.
THE THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT.
