PLATFORM FOR The SOUTH Oh THE NORTH

If the object of adopting platform for a
presidential campaign is not to keep pace
with the progress of events, to conform to the
logic of existing facts, and to find in the ac-
tual situation the elements of success, what
rational purpose can this periodical ceremony
subserve? If that is not the theory upon
which party, through delegates assembled
in national convention, formally declares
principles and policies for future observance,
then what is the use of such a declaration?
For what purpose do delegates Of party, in
national convention, confer in relation to the
emergencies and questions of the day, unless
to agree on propositions which shall be both
relevant and adequate to those questions and
emergencies? If such is not the Office and
the philosophy of platform, periodically re-
modelled, then the periodical announcement
ofa platform is a stupid aud vapid mummery,
a barren and inconsequentid superAuity.
The New York convention cannot afford to
ignore any subject of public concern associated
with the existing state of things, il it hopes
to organize the Democray Y as a live party in
practical relation to the exigencies and the
opportunities of the present hour and of the
impending future. Some Democratic jour-
nalists have inconsiderately advised that the
convention should evade an explicit declara-
ton in regard to financial policy; and some
have still more incOnsiderately proposed that
it should maintain silence with respect to
negro suffrage, contenting itself with the
doctrine of remitting the general ques-
ton of suffrage to the States. To go
into the presidential campaign with nothing
to say about negro suffrage, would be very
much ike attempting to play Hamlet with
Hamlet left out 1t constitutes the most dis
tinctive feature of radical policy, and IS
looked to as the fundamental element here
after of radical power. The Democrats can
not, therefore, combat the radicals without
confronting this question. If they fear to
confront it, they might as we'll decline the
battle. If they are to fight the battle with a
resolute purpose to win, they must be pre-
pared to deal with this question explicitly
and decisively. And they must be prepared
to deal with it according to facts as they are,
not according to facts as they might have
been or should be. They must resolve to
meet it from the standpoint of reality, not of
abstraction; from the basis OF history, not of
Utopian speculation.
These conditions accepted, it is next neces-
The New Orleans crescent., 1868-06-30

sary TO consider whether the success of the
Democrats in the presidential election would
be better subserved by position relative to
negro suffrage that would, in effect, relin-
quish the negro vote in the South 10 the
radicals, or by one taken with the design of
securing share of that vote for the Demo
cratic candidate. Southern Democrats admit
that the brunt of the contest will fall upon
the Northern Democracy, and they have also
generally expressed willingness to concede
to the latter the introduction of such features
into the, common platform as they should
deem indispensable to success. Now, Demo-
cratic leaders at the North well know that if
the contest is to be decided in that section,
there is no hope Of Democratic victory
except in large increase OF the Democratic
vote by the accession Of certain voters who
have heretofore acted with the other party.
They also well know that they could
not safely count on the accession
of these voters-a class of Republicans who.
opposed to radical excess and profigacy, have
yet favored the policy of Incorporating some
form of negro suffrage in the basis of recon-
struction-if the Democratic party should be
committed by its platform to touncompromising
hostility to negro suffrage at the South in any
degree and in any form.
But suppose, on the other hand, that the
convention cannot rely exclusively upon
Democratic strength in the North, and that it
admits the necessity of disputing the cleo
toral votes of six or seven Southern States
with the radicals. How is this necessity to
be satisfied without adequate measures to
secure the support of negro voters to the Dem
ocratic ticket? And how can measures to
that end be adequate on behalf of party
known to favor the unqualified disfranchise-
ment of the very voters to whose aid it was
compelled, in its distress, to appeal? What
follows as an essential prerequisite to success,
whether the contest is to be decided in the
North by accession from the other party or
in the South by dividing the negro vote with
the radicals, can scarcely fail to command the
attention of the New York convention. The
condition is the same with respect to both
sections. The position on the suffrage ques-
ton that will most conduce to swell the DEM
ocrstic ranks in the one, will most conduce to
take votes from the radicals in the other. We
speak simply of the question of success by
means which are available in the actual situa-
ton. The question of fundamental principle
and theoretical policy, abstracted from time
and circumstance, is quite another matter.

IHE LATE E. WARREN NOISE.

The death of l.. Warren Noise, which oc-
CURED yesterday at his residence in Jefferson
City, the result of a combination of chronic
disorders, removes one of the most marked,
gifted and brilliant men of an illustrious
epoch of this State. The deceased was a
native of Charleston, but came when young
man to Louisiana, where he continued to
make his home up to his death, in the 57th
year of his age. lawyer by profession,
and as such rarely acute, adroit and
successful, he was still more distinguished
in the politics of the State as leading mem
Der of the Democratic party. In that sphere
for many years, his ability and influence were
always conspicuous, and his service to the
Democratic cause invaluable on the stump or
in caucus. He was in the State Legislature for
q series of terms, and was universally ac-
knowledged to have been the best speaker of
the House which that body ever had. During
President Pierce's administration he was for
a while United States district attorney
but resigned on account of a supposed
slight from Attorney General Cushing,
connected with the government prosecution
of the New Orleans postmaster. He was sub
sequently attorney general of the State, and
under the Confederate government circuit
judge. Notwithstanding his positive qualities
of character, and his incisive manner of
speech, few men were personally more win
ming and popular than Mr.. Noise. In his
private and domestic relations he was ire
proacbable. He leaves large family who
may be assured of the sincere sorrow of this
community for their bereavement

THE Firth DISTRICT CoURr.-The annexed
certificate, from a properly qualified officer,
proves that thesHon. Charles Leaumont has
been reelected judge of the Fifth District
Court of New Orleans. The certificate shows
q majority of 2O3 votes in favor of Judge
Leaumont and, whilst we by no means wish
TO derogate from the claims or the talents and
merits of Mr.. Viavant we feel sure that the
New Orleans bar will, without exception, be
rejoiced to have Judge Leaumont continued In
the position which he has dignifed during the
last five or six years. No district judge has
been more conscientious, industrious and
affable; and none have had fewer decisions
reversed by the upper court. The following

Like the bill recently passed In reference to Ar
kansas, this bill supersedes the plain and simple
mode prescribed by the Constitution for the ad-
mission to seats in the respective houses OF sena-
tors and representatives from the several States.
IL assumes authority over six states OF the Union
which has never been delegated to Congress. or

egislation upon the subject of restoration. IL
imposes conditions whch are In derogation of the
equal rights of the States. and is founded upon =

In the case OF Alabama. 1t violates the plighted
faith Of Congress by forcing upon that tate
Constitution which was rejecfed by the people

gress requiring that = majority Of the registered

icaiion.
For these objections, ard many others that
