President johnson is greatly chagriued
at the apathy with which his Amnesty Proc
lamatiOn has been received by the New York
Convention. 1t was intended by him as a
bid for the nomination, and he supposed that
as soon as it was made public the delegates
would fcrsake all other candidates and NOM
mate him unanimously.

XVIIIth Congressional district, of Ohio

County. This district is now represented
by Judge Spalding, who declines rc-elec

compliment offered him.

cratic Platform--Whnt IL sniu OF IL.
New York letter to Phila. Lcdger.l
The grecnback plank in the Democratic
platform fell like n bombshell among the
Bulls and Bears of Wall street Some gilt
terng generalites on the subject, il is true,
were anticipated, hut no such plaiapess of
speech ms that which is employed IN resolu-
ton No. 3 was looked for The holders of
the 1867 bonds were panic struck, and for
while there was rush to sell, prices run
ming down to l07a-a decline of about ! per
cent Parties who were then waiting their
| opportunity came in to buy at the low prices,
| and this served to restore the market to its
equilibrium.
The Republicans are losing no time in
turning this greenback plank TO political
account. The Evening Post has flaming
bulletin, announcing, that liquidation.
open and shameless, is the avOwed policy"
while the Commercial Advertiser CThuIlow
Weeds paper) declares that "a party adopt
ing such a policy stands no chance Of success
in the elections
II must be admitted that the more conser-
vative, steady going Democrats are inclined
to look upon that greenback plank as a very
shaky piece of political timber, and for the
sake of the party would much rather it had
been left out They take consolation, how
ever, from the proYerb, that platforms any
how never mean much, and like pie-crust,
are only made to be broken.
It does not seem to occur to these, that the
committee who drew up that platform had
absolutely no alternative. The Western
feeling had to be conciliaied somehow. The
delegates from that quarter demanded eiinel
, the man or the platform, and as they were
5 strong enough to enforce the demand, thu
+ greenback plank was put in as compro
s mise that could not be avoided

Chase, '.TThere are thousand of democrat

This omission of any allusion to the exist

reprove in the most remote or indirect man
