The New ReYolutiOn.

The Fourth of July Convention, recently
assembled in New York, has completed its
work. 1t has laid down its platform and
nominated Its candidates What is the
PLATFORM 1t is REVOLUTION 1t is bold
ly declared that the reconstruction acts of
Congress are unconstitutional and void. 1t
proposes to undo all the work of reconstruc-
ton, and as this cannot be accomplished
without war, it defantly declares war. The
platform then, is a war platform. How
about the candidates Seymour is the no.
torious New York copperhead, who was
bitterly opposed to the government while
the war of the rebellion was being fought;
who kept up the fire in the rear of the arm
les of the Union who declared that the re-
bellion could not be suppressed and who
offered to compromise with treason. He
was in full sympathy with the Davis despot-
ism and had lie succeeded in debauching
the loyal heart of this nation as he under
took to do, we here In the South, would to-
day be bewing under the most whitening
despotism that ever was fastened upon any
people.
Seymour will not rally a single moderate
Republican or war Democrat under the cop.
perhead banner His nomination was not
even the choice of his own party. He owes it
to the adroitness and cunning of New York
manipulators and his party have found out to
their sorrow, now that it is too late, that
the long expiring Democracy is at last de-
1unct and that Seymour marches at the head
OF the funeral procession. This nomination
has fallen like wet blanket over the hopes
OF the Northern Democracy. Not the slight
est spark of enthusiasm has been elected
anywhere except from the heroes of the
"chlValry who are already seeing in imagi-
nation the palmy days of Davis and of An
Jacksonville returned once more. The friends
OF Pendeton, Hendricks, Hancock and
English are justly aroused. They acquiese
gracefully in the result, but they know the
case Is hopeless and their efforts will be in
proportion to the known result. The friends

For the Standard.

Mr. EDITOR Permit me to express
through the columns of your excellent pa
per, my exceeding joy and gratitude that we
are at last once more within the protecting
arms of the Union.
Long years have dropped their golden
sands into the fathomless ocean of eternity
since last we rested securely beneath the
folds of "star spanglcd banner"
Years that have not passed jOyOusly and
securely by, but have left the impress of
their flight indellibly behind.
Years that have taken in their fight
the light of love and life from many q
gladstone heart. bowed many stalwart
form with sorrow, and blanched many
cheek and brow with anguish and despair.
Years in which the doom of many a mar
tyr has been sealed with blood; in which
countless changes have passed over the lives
of us all, and which will ever retain a vivid
coIoring in the pages of future history.
But all thanks to Him who rules the land
and sea, "Pcace he STILL" has sounded in
clarion notes throughout our sunny State,
and the long, wild, pitiless tempest is over.
The raging pillows Of stormy sea have
| been Gained, and the "Old North State
with our dauntless. heroic pilot at her helm, a
| new wrought rudder anu matchess sails,
has been peacefully moored within harbor
of safety
Thank God, we are at home at last. The
| starry folds of the red white and blue"
ftom many steepled dome and battlement,
wave proud and fee to-day. May it ever
feat aloft with unfading brightness, and
firm, unbcnding staff
The clouds that enwrappcd MS are dis
pcrsed, and the day-star of hope and pros
perity has again dawned for the people of
this favored State.
May your administration he the dawning
of new and bright era in the history of
North Carolina.
May yours be the hand to scatter through
out our sunny State, the seed of wisdom
and justice. which will ripen into harvest
of everlasting gnod.
May peace and plenty crown the boards
of gll. May every sky remain bright, every
home circle unbroken.
May prejudice be uprooted, jealousy dis
armed, and the hitler animosities eradicated
that now fill so many bosoms with strife and
discord. DAVID.
