cry proper attempt at the reconstruction OF the
States lately in rebellion; who has perverted the
public patronage into an engine Of wholesale cor
ruption, and who has been justly impeached for
high crimes and misdemeanors, and properly pro-
nounoed guilty thereof by the vote Of thirty-ive
senators.
NsnA.-The doctrine of Great Britain and 9TH
er European powers that because man IS once
subject he is always so, must be resisted at every
hazard by the United States, as relic of the feu-
dal times, not authorized by the law Of nations,
and at war with our national honor and indepen-
dence Nsturalized citizens are entitled to be pro-
tected in all their rights of citizenship as though
they were native-born, and no citizen of the Uni
ted States native or naturalized, must be liable to
arrest and imprisonment by any foreign power for
acts done or words spoken in this country and if
so arrested and imprisoned, it is the duty Of the
government to interfere in his behalf
Tenth-Of all who were faithful in the trials OF
the late war; there were none entitled to more es-
pecial honor than the brave. soldiers and seamen
who endured the hardships of fcampaign and cruise,
and imperilled their lives in the service Of their
country; the bounties and pensions provided by
the laws for these brave defenders of the nation
are obligations never to be forgotten; the widows
and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards OF
the people, sacred legacy bequeathed to the ma
tion's protecting care.
EleuenM. Foreign emigration, whichinthe past,
has added so much to the wealth, development,
and resources and increase of power to this nation.
the asylum of the oppressed Of all nations should
be fostered and encouraged by liberal and just
policy.
Ttoe1y.t. This Convention declares itself in SYM
pathy with all the oppressed people which are
struggling for their rights. :,
After the regular platform had been adopted,
the following resolutions were passed:
Resolred, That we highly commend the spirit OF
magnanimity and forgiveness with which the men
who have served in the rebelion-but who now
frankly and honestly cooperate with US in restor-
ing the peace of the country and reconstructng the
Southern States governments upon the basis Of
impartial Justice and equal rights-are received
back into the commission of loyal people, and we
favor the removal of the disqualification and re-
strictions imposed upon the late rebels in the same
measure as their spirit of loyalty will direct and
as may be consistent with the safety of the loyal
people.
Resozued, That we recognize the great principles
laid down in the immortal Declaration of Inde.
pendence as the true foundation of Democratic
government, and we hail with gadness every effort
toward making these principles living reality on
every inch of American soil.

WoRM.-The Corinth (Mississippi) "Modd Far
rner for Nav, saws the army worm is on the march
there b, in n amazing force The Farmer makes the
following astounding statement
The movements and numbers of this insect are
astounding. The army worm has appeared in this
county near the State line, and are now moving
Southward. Their breadth is about two miles,
and they are stripping the forest Of all foliage in
tbeh path. There are so many millions that last
week they actually stopped thefreight train on the
Memphis and Charleston Rail Road. The worms
were 90 thick on the track that they accumulated
on the wheels until it caused the drivers to slide on
the rails. We don't think this isthe regular army
worm; but species of insect some smaller and not
so destructive to vegetation.

H9- Some of the Northern Democratic papers
have commenced calling on Gen. Grant to resign his
position as the commander of the armies, holding
that it is manifesty improper for him to retain it
in view of the circumstances now surrounding
him.. General Grant has, however, determined
in accordance with his own feelings and the advice
of his friends, to do nothing of the kind: He will
follow the example of Gen. Scott, and will not sur
render his commission until after the November
election nor then, if he shall not be the successful
candidate for President. AS an evidepce of the
high regard entertained for him. his S friends sh. in
course, but have promised to keep the place Of
sGeneral' warm for him until after he has served
out his Presidential term, when he will peacefully
step back into his old shoes This nice little ar.
rangement is predicated upon the supposition that
the party now in power is to have perpetual
lease on the government

PLATFORM OF THE RADICAL PARTY.

The National Republican party of the United
States assembled in National Convention in the
City of Chicago, on the Goth day of May, 1868,
and made the following declaration of principles
Frst.-We congratulate the country on the as.
sured success of the reconstruction policy of Con.
gress, evinced by tho adoption, in the majority Of
the States lately in rebellion of constitutions secu
ring equal civil and political rights to all and it
is the duty of the government to sustain those in
stitutons and to prevent the people of those States
from being RENTED to state OF anarchy.
!Secoad.-The guarantee by Congress of equa
suffrage to all loyal men at the South was demand
ed BY every consideration of public safety, of graf
itude, and of justice, and must be maintained
while the question of suffrage in all the loyal
States, properly belongs to the people Of those
States.
Third.-We denounce all forms of reputation
as national crime, and the national honor requires
the payment of the public Indebtedness, in the ut
broad, not only according to the letter. but the
spirit of the laws under which it was contracted.
F0urth-It is due to the labor of the nation
that taxation should be equalized and reduced as
rapidly as the national faith will permit.
Frnh.-The national debt, contracted as it has
been, for the preservation of the Union for all time
to come, should be extended over fair period for
redemption; and it is the duty of Congress to re-
duce the rate of interest thereon whenever it can
be honestly done.
,Si;cth.-That the best policy to diminish our
burden of debt is to so improve our credit that
capitalists will seek to loan US money at lower rates
of interest than we now pay, and must continue
to pay, so long as reputation, partial or total,
open or covert, is threatened or suspected.
.Serenth.-The government Of the United States
should be administered with the strictest economy,
and the corruptions which have been so shameful
" nursed and fostered by Andrew johnson, call
loudly for radical reform.
Eiqhth.-We professedly deplore the untimey
and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln. and regret
the accession of Andrew johnson to the Presiden-
cy. who has acted treacherousy to the people who
elected him and the cause he was pledged to sup
port; who has usurped high legislative and judi
cial functions who has refused to execute the
laws; who has used his high Office to induce other
officers to ignore and violate the laws; who has
employed his executive powers to render insecure
the property the peace, liberty, and life Of the
citizen who has abused the pardoning power ;
who has denounced the National Legislature as
unconstitutional; who has persistently and cor
rupty resisted, by every measure in his power eV-

The AooUITTAL OF THE PREsIDENT.-The &C.
uuittal of the President, the final adjournment ol
the impeachment court, and the resignation Of
Secretary Stanton seems to give great relief to the
business men of the country of all parties The
New York Journal of Commerce, leading conf
mercial journal, remarks:
We congratulate the country. upon the result
The removal by impeachment of any President,
unless he was admitted to be criminal by impair
tial men of all parties, would be precedent most
dangerous to our institutions, and we think both
the friends and foes of Mr.. johnson will ere long
see the wisdom of this decision.
The Herald considers the final vote on impeach.
ment as defeat of the extremists in the Republi-
can party.
The New York Tribune (RadicaI says it is a
tainted verdict, and was procured by the use Of
money
The World says, by the defeat of impeachment
we have been saved from entering the road to
Mexican anarchy" and acknowledges that the de.
feat is due to the manly course of Chief Justice
Chase.
The New York Times (Republican) thinks that
the people will be gratfed at the conclusion Of the
trial, and hopes that Congress will
now proceed to business.
o! LORD, How LoNG!-It is asserted that
General Candy, who is the Dictator on the other
side of the river, is running the niger and scala
wag schedule so excruciatingly heavy, simply be-
cause he has been tabooed by the respectable peo-
pie of Charleston, for his negro Radical proclivi
ties. Policy advocates, no doubt, think these gal
lant high-toned people wrong in ignoring and des;
pising this man for bis mean, petty acts, but all
honest people who believe in never compromising
principle for the sake of place, will glory in the
pluck and honor of people who have never yet
buse and trample upon the rights of the people Of
South Carolina for time, but the day of reckon:
ing is not far off. IF the signs in the political
heavens are interpreted rightly, and we think they
are, the Ides of November will not pass before the
yoke of the tyrant is removed from the necks Of
an outraged and chivalrous people, who in the
hour Of victory, knew how to treat a fallen foe,
and demean themselves like the brave and heroic
people that they are In the hour of defeat, they
preserve their honor, and bear up under their ad-
verses with dignity and fortitude
