The second clause of the Democratic
platform demands amnesty for all past
political oiienses. AS the President has
proclaimed amnesty for all offenders ey.
cept those who were under Indictment.
which includes practically all Rebels ex-
cept Jefferson Davis, the resolution
amounts only to censure of one of their
own men, Andrew Johnson, FOR not having
Pardoned Jefferson Davis.
During the session of the Democratic
Convention two loyal soldiers, who had ex-

also that ONE, and ONLY ONE, fellow
did say hurrah, three times during
the speech. The speaker I'D not
once mention Blair's name, in our
hearing during his speech, and we
tried to heai it oil. He said the plat
form was all right, and that on it he
could support the nominees.
Then the Band and the anvil play
ed, after which, Mr.. Leslie came for
ward, and for nearly an hour har-
rangued the crowd until there was
scarce eorporaPs guard left. This
speech, though delivered in an as
sumcd Websterian tone, was the
poorest thing of the kind we ever
heard, and had much the same eff
feet upon the crowd as would the
reading of the words in the dictiona-
ry, beginning with "letter B." 1t was
better than the riot act for dispensing
a crowd. More than a dozen times
the speaker stopped long enough to,
take drink, and more than once his
friends should have called 'stime."
At last the anvil announced that

The great advantage that the committee claim will arise from the section allowing the conversion of bonds into Legal Tenders and sice oersa, is that it will greatly assist the return to specie payments, which they consider the prime financial necessity of the times. In the latter opinion we cer- tainly agree with them, but whether the method they propose would produce such a result is matter about which we are not qualified to speak with confidence Their showing IS, to say the least, very plausible.
 MT. Sherman's bill meets strong opposi- tion both in and out of Congress and its passage in it's present shape is doubtful nevertheless it seems to us move in the right direction.

We are just entering upon the most i'm. portant year of the political history of the United States. In it are to be gathered ur or thrown away the fruits of victory that has cost the nation half a million lives and billions of money. In it we are to work out, to the letter. the principles of the grand Declaration with which the nation com. meneed it's existence, or fall back upon the shifts and compromises of the ninety in. termediate years. During those years shifts and compromises were unavoidable they postponed but they could not avert the irrepressible conflict. At last an oyer. ruling Providence has removed all necessi- ty for the perpetuation of such inconsis. tencies. Gan Americans of 1868, like the Americans of 1776, rise above the preiudi. oes of their day and do justice? Let the American of 1868 advance beyond the American of 1860, as the American of 17ss advanced beyond the American of l775 and the republic is safe!
 We are aware that our people are restless under the heavy, unavoidable load of taxa. ton, and that their predudices are startled at the impartial working out of principles which it is far easier to profess than te practice. Nevertheless no Republican need sincerely fear the result. From the times of Thomas Jefferson to the times oi Abraham Lincoln the people have hardly ever failed to support those who trusted them most.

Col. Lloyd Humphrey, of South Nor folk, has been distilling rum without Ii.
 cense, and got caught at it. He gave up the rum, paid 5000 forfeit-but being a loyal Republican, the Palladium intimates that he will probably be let off the rest of the penalty. That is carrying loyalty to good market.-New Hapen Register.
 Friends of the Register, you are firing into your own ranks. You are correct in saying that Colonel Lloyd Humphrey has been caught in distilling rum without a license. but instead of being loyal Re- publican, he is g copperhead after the hegisfsT's own heart. Will the Rsgistss please make the correction? ,
 It is remarkable how differently the Bridgeport F'asa'aer speaks of ssOal Hum- phrey." That virtuous sheet has evident ly found out that he is democras, and instead of pitching into him rough shod after the Register fashion, it says that the stories about Col. Humphrey are much exaggerated" "-that he had Hailed to re- new his license from mere carelessness, " that he Was unaware of the stringen- cy of tho law" That is no such thing, Mir. Farnser, and you know it. What did he hide his rum under the hay in a neigh bor's barn for? How happens it that the revenue officers found some of it secreted in the woods? Why did Col. Humphrey tell the officers that he had made only so many gallons, when they unearthed @ great many more gallons? Why does he get some of his molasses by way of Burr vile depot and some at Wolcottville de- pot? And why does he have it come di- rected to James Keefe, an Irishman in his employ? These are somewhat plain questions-plainer, perhaps, than some folks would deem necessary: but we don't propose to allow the New Haven Reoiste,. to make republicanism responsible for cop perhead violations of the law Winsted Herald.

It is pleasant thing to belong to the petted classes. We had no idea how pleas ant, till we became an editor, some eigh- teen months since.. It is not easy to say who the petted classes are; but it is easy to say who they are not! Sabbath School Superintendents, Melodianistes, Sopranos, and Altos, who have been honored in lead ing volunteer choirs for fifteen or twenty years, (keeping back much rising Soprano and Alto talsnt,) are not of our set. They are only interloping accidents, and occa. sion little serious diversion
 We of the petted classes were formerly much abused, burned at the stake. impris. oned for libel, &c. Suoh practises arc not common now, but we are still proverbially poor and ill-paid. We sec the lawyer, es. pecially if young and active, rolling in wealth; and the physician parading the length and breadth of the land in his grand equipage. Many of them are bad men, however, and do not come by their money honestly. People generally know this, and they are not petted.
 Some of us are more petted and cared for than others-even beyond measure, as it seems to us. These are not allowed to vote, because voting is demoralizing, con dominating thing. Hence they are expect
 ed to associate chiefly with women, who
 do not vote, and consequently are not de-
 moralizing. It is an insuperable objection
 to wofnan's suffrage that it would leave this
 class without society. Journalists are not considered so frail as this, and are allowed more liberty.
 Eighteen months since, our personal stock of fancy articles was limited. Our relatives, connections and friends, formed large but not demonstrahve body. In the course of something over thirty Christ masses and as many New Years, they had presented us with pen-wiper. They may have " donated" other things; if so, they were lost, strayed or stolen. No sooner were we raised to the petted classes than the scene changed. We have neither time nor space for the inventory of our pres. ents. From the Editors Easy Chair to the Editors Match-Safe flor marriage notices,) our wants have been superabundantly sup piled.
 Now we are naturally of 8 grateful turn, and would like to be even with our friends. We should have preferred sending each our picture, after the manner of MT. Hor- ace Greedy, but none of the machines rep resent us in the favorable light they do him. We have made arrangements, there fore, for sending our autograph. Those whom we consider peculiarly entitled to it, will find blank form enclosed, which will indicate the mode of obtaining the auto graph. We hope no one will refuse our modest, earnest and most reasonable request.
