next Sunday he would succeed. On each
repetition, however, he as signally failed On

TO Webster's Unabridged. This volume Is de-
signed TO be in some sort q revision or en-

ELECTORS.
Union Republican Platform.

The following is the platform adopt
ed By the Republican Convention, at
Chicago, on Thursday the 21st day of
May, 1868.
The National Republican party of
the United States, assembled in Ma
tional Convention in the city of Chi
cago, on the Goth day of May, 1863,
make the following declaration Of
principles;
1. We congratulate the country on
the assured success of the reconstruc-
ton policy of Congress as eyinced by
the adoption, in a majority of the
States lately in rebellion, Of Consti-
buttons securing equal civil and polit-
zeal rights to all; and we regard 1t
as the duty of the Government to sus-
tain those institutions, and to pre-
vent the people of such States from
being RENTED to a state Of anarchy.
2. The guarantee BY Congress Of
equal suffrage to all loyal men in the
South was demanded by every con-.
sideration of public safety, OF graft
tude, and must be maintained; while
the question Of suffrage In all the
loyal States properly belongs to the
people of those States.
;. We denounce all forms of repu-
diation as national crimes, and the
national honor requires the payn ent
of the pubic Indebtedness, IN the
utmost good faith, to all creditors. at
home aud abroad, not only according
to the letter but the spirit OF the laws
under which il was contracted.
t. It is due to the labor of the na-
ton that taxation should be equalized
and reduced as rapidly as our nation
al faith viii permit.
3. The national debt, contracted,
as it has been, for the preservation OF
the Union for all time to come, should
be extended over a fair period for
redemption; and it IS the duty OF
Congress to reduce the rate of interest
thereon, whenever it can honestly be
J done.

who has. acted treacherously to the

9. The doctrine of Great Britain
and other European Powers. that be-
cause a man is once a subject he is
always so, must be resisted at every
hazard by the United States, as a
relic Of the feudal time, not author
lied by the law Of nations, and at
wal with our national honor and in
dependence, naturalized citizens be-
ing entitled to be protected in all
their rights of citizenship, as though
they were natural born and no citi-
zen of the United States, natural or
naturalized, must be liable to arrest
and imprisonment by any foreign
power, for acts done or words spoken
IN this country ana II SO arrested auu
imprisoned, it is the duty of the Gov
eminent to interfere Ia his behalf.
10. OF all who were faithful in the
trials of the late war, there were none
entitled to more especial honor than
the brave soldiers and seamen who
endured the hardships of campaign
and cruise, and lmperiled their lives
in the service of their country. The
bounties and pensions provided by
law for those brave defenders of the
nation are obligations never to be for
gotten. The widows and'Orphans of
the gallant dead are the wards of the
people-a sacred legacy bequeathed to
the nations protecting care.
II. Foreign immigration, which, IN
the past, has added so much to the
wealth and development of the re-
sources and increase of power to this
nation, the asylum of the oppressed
of all nations, should be fostered and
encouraged by a liberal and just
policy.
II This Convention declares It's
sympathy with all the oppressed PEG
pie who are struggling for their
rights.

Dead Again,

The last time the above animile ap-
peared in our paper, be made his ap-
pearance to represent the fallen fortunes
of our mutual friend, James A. Ale
shire. In the convention on last Sat
urday, when Mr.. Aleshire was SO mer-
cilessly slaughtered, only receiving tt9o
votes out of the seventy two of which
the convention was composed, friend
at our side suggested that we once more
bring out our Democratic animal We
told Mr.. Aleshire that we thought of
doing so. There are several reasons
why JIM should not go into copper
head convention. He went into the
Lincoln war, and served faithfully and
bravely to put down the rebellion of his
friends, the Democrats. Then he is
competent TO fill the office of Sheriff.
Then he is first class school teacher,
and he ought to know that education,
like religion, is an enemy to the De-
mocracy. All these things render it
absurd for him to ask office, when such
men as Palmer are around.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1868-07-02

little things. He, too, was OPPOSED to
''instructions. 1t might place dele
gates in an awkward position, Of
course it might, particularly in the Nes-
timation of Lew. But Levi had no OBJ.
iections to a mere suggestion" A.
mere Suggestion" contains soft soap
enough to wash Ike, and leaves the
delegates unincumbered with any poll
tical nuisance. Finally, after having
1t distinctly understood to be a mere
suggestion" they put the "sugges-
tion" to vote among the few remain
ing members of the convention. The
president put the affirmative of the
question in most happy way-calcu.
lated to win if anything woodland
four voices responded distinctly, some
what above a whisper, "aye.' Then
with reproving smile he called for the
nays, but no voice responded in behalf
of the numerous negatives there
Whereupon Ike got the floor, pro-
claimed his great abilities and promised
faithful service, but said he was not
satisfied that the convention desired his
nomination. / believe that Isaac was
not fully satisfied. He "kinder" look
ed down cast. He did not look 80
elated as be did the next morning after
the reported caucus" His head was
not so erect, nor his step so elastic, but
his spinal column was little more cir
cuIar. Poor Ike, he looked quite chop
fallen, after four votes in favor of
mere suggestion" / am truly afraid
you will have to carry the pill-bags
little, once and awhile, after the 4th of
July
What consistency is there in en-
forcing pledges and opposing instruc-
tions Delegates are chosen to repre-
sent the will of their constituents. 1t
is very common in Democratic conYen-
tions to instruct delegates, and it is in
accordance with Democratic principles.
In several of the States the delegates
to the New York convention, on the
4th of July, are instructed. The Hon.
Geo. e. Pugh believes in the right of
instruction, because the principles of
instruction are strictly in accordance
with the great principles on which our
government is founded, The trouble
is this instructions might "sorter"
interfere with the airy hopes of that
other fellow. A mere "suggestion W
Well, that will do. In what | have
said, do not wish to be understood as
questioning the motives of the great
majority Of the delegates. There were
very few designing demagogues among
them. So far as relates to Palmer.
Thompson and Burt, the work Of the
convention was well done. In other
respects l may have more to say here
after JNo. G. STEVENSON.
