precisely those affirmed BY the Jacobins .,

Of the bondholders, and against the people
gold, and no taxes to pay for the former,

latter.
With characteristic sophistry, he says that
"our debt ls not due until fifteen years from
this time Therefore, he says its present
discussion is useless-it is not . practical
question. How false.
Governor Seymour is trying to put the
public mind asleep upon the bond question.
and leave the plow~holders to sweat, and
staggcr and starve, under the load Of taxa

From the New York Evening Post
THEY LEA0N NOTHING.

Four years ago people we're greatly anus
ed by finding the Democratic platform
which declared the war . failure, and de-
nanded m immediate cessation of hos.ili.
ties-printed in many of the country papers
on the same page with reports Of the cap
,ure of Atlanta BY Sherman.
The year before that, Mr.. Seymour. ofthis
State, distinguished himself BY dolorous
Fourth Of July GRAFTON in this city, in which
he warned his hearers that We could not af.
ford to carry on the war anr longer, that we
could never beat the rebels. But while be
was speaking Nicksburg was surrendered TO
Grant, aud Lee was beginning to fly from
Meade at Gettysburg; and Seymour )
speech was accompanied in the next day' .
papers with gloss most pnwelcome to him
aud those who thought with him.
A number of experiences Of this kind
ought to have warned the Democratic lead
ers not to attempt prophecy. Their strength
does not lie in that direction events appear
to have . spite against them. Il would be
different to imagine anything more inappro-
pirate than General Sherrnan's capture OF
Atlanta Just after the Democratic couyen>
ton had solemnly declared the war failure
and demanded immediate cessation OF Lostil-
ities; but the circumstances under which the
Democratic platform appears this morning
are not more fortunate.
The platform denounces the Freedman S
Bureau and demands its abolition; but
Congress had already passed IN act discon
tinuing the Bureau, which became . Law
Yesterday; snd General Howard gives no.
tice in the Sane papers in which the Dsro-
cratic platform is printed, that the Bureau
has ceased in South Carolina, and that he
is rapidly winding up the affairs in the other
States.
We read in the platform denand for the
immediate restoration Of oil the States and
turning from this passage to another col.
umn Of the papers, read that while all are
restored but four. South Carolina. Virginia,
Mississippi snd Ts1ssf South Carolina has
just adopted the amendment, and will dotbt-
less be represented in Congress within the
week. But We read alec in the platform
that the acts Of reconstruction arc : void" !"
which means that the Democrats, il they
succeed, viii at once destroy all that has
been done, and put US back again to 1865.
This is ; promise which viii hardly delight
people who have grown tired Of the long
Ieconstruction quabble. To re>open this
this qoestion uow settled in all but three
States, would be . calamity to the country
-brt that IS what the platform threatens.
There are but two plsnks in the Demo
cratic platform which events have not forc>
stalled: the clause favoring the taxation Of
bonds and their payment in greenbacks !:
and ths clause demanding protection to
American industry" But even in these two
particulars, General Butler and Mr.. Thad
deus Stevens, the one with the bill for tsxing
bonds and the other with the new tariff bill,
are doing all they can to meet the rdquire>
ments Of their Democratic friends aud allies.

Why are radical papers SO anxious to dis
parage and ridicule Sergent Bates for carry
ing the flag Of the Union from Mississippi to
Washington, and thereby testing the fidelity
of the people, on the whole route. to the con-
stitution and the government? Does it an
noy them to see this practical evidence Of
Southern loyalty and positive refuta.ion OF
OF the caluminies circulated by carpet-bag-
gers sent south to libel the people? IF the
radical were really anxious for proof of the
good faith of the south, they would rejoice
at this significant demonstration, applaud it
and praise the Union soldier who has beer
the cause of it; but, on the contrary, they
denounce the bearer of his country's banne,
for this gratifying exposition ofpatriotic sen
timents and brand the cordial manner ir
which he was everywhere received through

RIVER NEws.--The steamer Canada ar.
rived here from St. Paul, this morning. with
a light trip. Her officers report heavy
snow storm at Dubuque and above. The
river is declining at Dubuque, although at a
stand still at st Paul. The Reserve arrived
from St. Louis this morning, putting off six
teen sacks of rice for Darts Sons, fifty bar.
rels of cement for f. A. Balch, and several
packages of groceries for Mrs. Pierce. The
Iowa City departed for Clinton, this morning
at her usual hour. The fare for that point
meals included, is only 81. The New Bos
ton left for Fl Madison, this morning, after
taking several casks of ham, and car load Of
salt. The Davenport will be up tonight
and the Pembins down tomorrow. The
Keithsburg leaves for Fl. Madison in the
morning. The river is slightly on the de-
cline at this point. The Northwestern Line
steamers Phil Sheridan and Key City have
been lying at LIE Claire for some days past
undergoing repairs. They are expected &c
push out again very shortly. The present
rough weather has tendency to discoura &c
river travelling. Freights are not quite SC

Mr.. EDIroR.-In Mayor Murdock's mes
sage, addressing the Aldermen, he said, 81
would call your attention to the fact that
many ordinances of the city have, by ne
glect, become almost dead letter. \
aLaws which cannot be enforced should be
repealed" Mayor Murdoch took a solemn
oath to enforce all ordinances, and he knows
of one ordinance that is regularly violated
every Sunday in nearly Fifty places in town.
What becomes of his oath2 Is he guilty of
perjury? The Aldermen took an oath to
enforce the same ordinance. One of the
Aldermen is leading member of the bap-
fist church, and another of the methodist.
They know this ordinance is violated, and
they shut their eyes and ears to the fact.
How do they quiet their condolences? Are
they serving God or mammon? DO they
care more for party than for religion and
morality? Are they, too, guilty Of perjury ?
Do they agree with Mayor Murdock, that
claws which cannot be enforced should be
