The Platform.

The adoption Of the true Democrat C
platform by the delegates of the party as
sembIed in the New York Convention, was
half the battle, and in the victory the peo
pie have won the most important point IN
volvcd in the present contest 1t gives
forth no uncertain sound. It utters no in
definite declaration. 1t expresses boldly,
clearly, truly, honestly She PRINCIPLES and
policy of the masses Of the Democracy, in
language concise and conclusive, AMI free
from buncombc sophistry or glittcring gen
ea.ilies. 1t is not subject to mi iintcrpre-
tation among intelligent mtn possessing or
dinary common understanding. 1t covers
the whole ground, and diSguiscs no single
issue. 1t comes squar,ly W to the demands
of the people and the cxigensies of the
times. 1t must meet the approval Of all
the Conservative men Of the land who have
been de laying in determining where they
should stard and what they should support.
1t is full of nationality, and free from scc>
tionalism, and in this it will be eminently
satisfactory to the Democracy of the North
and South, East and West. 1t is broad
and strong, and high and plain enough for
all sections and all honest interests. In
short, it is brief and to to.ihe point, on all
the following important issues:
The immediate restoration Of all the
Southern States. The unconstitutlonality
and nullity of tho military reconstruction
acts. The payment Of the public debt in
grecnbacks. A uniform currency for Gov
erDment and people alike Taxation OF
Government bonds. Abolition Of the in
famous Freedman's Bureau. A tariff for
revenue. rhe States to regulate the cleo
tive franchise. Denounciation Of the Rad
ical basti!cs. infringement Of the liberties of
the press, arbitrary arrests and Rump Con-
gress usurpations, together with protection
to naturalizcd American citizens abroad and
at home
The greentack plank, says the crisis, is
the fair and just endorsement Of the recu-
liarIy Democratic and Pendletonian doctrine
Of one currency for all, and the only FEAST
bic method of relieving an oppressed reo-
pie from the death weight of debt and tax,
alton. Aud in this regard, there was a
special and pressing necessity for just such
declaration Of principle and policy. On
this and other subjects, now included in
the platform, there were those acting with
us, who we're unccnsciously straying away
from the true faith, and following the ia SO
ishts and tlind guides of Black Repuhli-
canisrn. All sch will now return TO first
principles, and labor in the great aud good
work ofrcdeem ng our broad land from the
thraldem and wiekedness of negro suffrage

The Tax On Hnnt,s.

The Democratic Convention at Now
York adopted resolutions which our candi-
date for President, Mr. Seymour, indorses
and approves, in favor of tax on Govern
mcnt bonds. At present these bonds are |
going scot-lrce of all taxation. except the |
ordinary income tax, which is paid on all
descriptions of property. We agreed ,hat
the bonds should be exempt from State and
local taxation, but we did not promise that
they shcald not be taxed by Federal au>
.aority. We propose that the United
States Government shall tax them, in
the ratio of ten per cent, uron the in
terest which the holders derive from
them. That amounts to $l2J 90 O0O
year in gold. The tax, therefore, wonld
net us about $l2, 000,OO0 in gold, or sl6.-
600, 600, say, IN legal-tcn ers. This is
sum worth saving. Impose that and We
can relieve business and industry Of a tax
| equal to that amount. But the RadIca
Congress will not do it. They are too
much committed to the bon1hoidcrs for
| that. They will tax the farmer, the me>
chanic, the merchant and the laborcr, hut
they will not tax the bondholder. Read
the following from that Radical organ, the
Pittsburgh Lon,merciaE

ment bonds are compelled to include the
interest they rec lived in their income re-
turn, on which they pay IA tax oi ave PER

The nominations

The Democratic National Convention |
performed It's work, and closed its labor /
GUS but harmonious session, by placing in
nomination, as the standard bearers OF the
Democracy in the present contest. Hon.
Horatio Seymour, of New York, for Presi-
dent and Gen. Frank p. Blair of Missou-
ri, for Vice President. In another article,
We have given brief sketch of the pubic
career and general merits of these distin--
guished gentlemen, to which We invite the
attention of the reader.
! As is well known to all our readers, that
most distinguished statesman and noble
hearted gentleman of Ohio, and the reo-
pies fayorite Of the West, Mr.. Pendleton,

OF the delegates from all the States, and
the. Convention, in it's wisdom, thought
differently, by selecting second choice, We
shall, not only as political duty but per-
sonal pleasure, give the unanimous nomi.
neeS our earnest, cordial and active support.
They are worthy the chnerfal and untiring
support of every genuine Democrat aud tru-
ly conservative man throughout this broad
land; and we shall not only be greatly dis
appointed but strangely mistaken, should
they fail to receive it. And with asupport,
the ticket must be successful, and the flu
tura Of the country thus relieved from the
eminent perils of continuous military deS-
| potiSm, the present dangers Of Il tesotted
and fanatical 'mongreliSm, and the future
certainty of imetrievable and ruinous bank.

consistently or conscientiouSly withhold his
sincere acqp+esccnce in the nominations, in

is plain and imperative.

Gov. Seym0Hr's Endorsement by
Secretary stanton.

To those Republicans who are in the
habit Of eondenning Governor Seymour for
not being '4lnyal" in the late war, we com
mend the following from Secretary Stanton,
written to ham in the midst Of the war,
when he was Governor OF New York;
"WAR DEPARTMENT,
-4WAsHtNGToN, Cry, June 27, 1868.
s.DEAR SiR: [ cannot forbear express
ing to you the deep obligation | feel for the
prompt and cordial support you have given
the Government in the present emergency.
The-energy and patriotism you have ex-
hibited may be permitted personally and
officially to acknowledge, without arrogat~
ing any personal claims on my part to such
service, or any service whatever.
Il shall be happy always TO be esteemed
your friend EDWIN M. STANTON.

The question in the absence Of orders from

leading organ of the Grant and Guliax fac
ton, speaks on the subject in words and
manner as follows:
On the financial question the platform is
positive enough. There is no ambiguity in

The principles of which Pendleton is the
acknowledged apostle could not he better
stated. They are an assault upon the ma
tional credit They involve breach ot faith
as between the Republic and its bondholding
creditors. They alopfand extend the mis-
chief done by the House ~ Representatives
ten days ago; and add an avowa hf purpo>
ses, as affecting the debt. Numerically OPP
posed to those Of the Chicago onvention.
1t is to be regretted that the contest will
include an issue between faith violated and
Iath sustained; but at least the Democrat
ic party is not chagcabe with hypocrisy in
its statement of the case 1t is honest in
its dishonesty pendlcton and his friends
a.e willing to fight the battle squarly with
ouf the use Of masks.
This extract from the 7,mcs shows cor
cInsively two things: first. that the Chiclgo
platform means gold for the bondhoders
and deprcciated currency for the working
men. the widows and children Of deceased
soldiers, ard the disabled defenders Of our
nationality; aud, secondly, that the Demo
cratic platform is distinct, intelligiblc,
straightforward and honest in Its declara-
'tions. PLAIN Deafer.

GOV. seymcur and the Riots.

IN 1868 Governor Seymour was called to
New York to interposc his authority in the
way of persuasion with mob, which had
beaten down the police. the military, and
the citizens; be did the best be could, and
among other things he said
81 wish you to take good care Of all pro-
periy as good citizens, and see that every
person is safe The safe keeping Of per-
sons and property rests with you, and |
charge you to disturb neither. 1t IL your
duty to maintain the good order OF the city,
and / know yon will do it. wish you now
to separate as good citizens, and you can
assemble ogain whenever you wish TO do 50,
ask YOU TO leave all to me now, and ! viii
see TO your rights. Wait until my Adius
tant returns flom Washington and you sha !
be satisfied Listen to me, and see that
there is no harm done 10 persons or proper
ty, but re ire peaceably.
This mob grew out Of the fact that the
Provost Marshal Of New York wanted 70
draft twice al many men as he was entitled
to under the allotment. After the people
lsfook the matter in their own hands, the
Eauhoritics at Washington yielded 70 Gov-
ernor Seymour request to do justice, and
peace was restored. We submit 6ovenoI
Seymoyr's remarks to every decent man
and leave then without further comment.
