As a sample OF the entire harmony
that pervades the. Democracy, not
only as regards their candidate for
President. but the platform on which
he shall stand. We copy the following
from the New York World and the
Indianapol Sentinel. The World, in
an article with the above heading, re-
iers to the platform to be adopted by
the New York Convention in the fol-
lowing terms: ~
with regard to the platform, we
have not the slightest fear that the
Convention will get into WraHgle.
There is indeed oae subject on which
there is considerable difference Of
opinion In the Democratic party. !. w 6
of course allude to the probability of
the fve-twenty bonds In gold. But
we do not suppose thatthe supporters
of Mr.. Pendleton will insist on the
incorporation of his greenback theory
into the platform. - .F.fF
The Democratic platform will conf
IDENTIFY promise immense relief from
the burdens under which the peo-
pie groan, if they will commit the
administration to Democratic hands.
On this point there will be perfect
harmony, and no necessity for trim
ming or shutting. And if we get over
the preenback question without dan
ger to harmony. there is likely to be
no other element of disturbance.
To this the iSeRtinel, with consider
able display of feeling, responds as
follows
The World, and those who think
with it, may rest assured that the
West will be a unit 10 insisting that
the greenback theory shall be in
corporated in the platform. There
may be differences among the West
ern delegates as to candidates, al
though we believe there will be an
unanimous expression in favor of Mr..
Pendleton as their first choice
for the Presidency. but there will
be none whatever upon the
greenback question, which they re-
gard as vital issue for the success of
the party. The feeling in favor of
this theory in the redemption of the
5 20 bonds is not confined to the De-
mocracy. 1t commends itself to the
people generally regardless of par
ty. It is to be expected that
tho bondholders of the East
will insist that the greenback
theory shall not be Incorporated
in the platform, but we have not
doubt that the masses of the people
even in New York aud New Eng
land, that have had the question fairly
presented to them, Will favor the
theory just as decidedly and enthusi-
astically as the Western Democracy
Upontthe payment of the public debt
the platform should not be meaning
less, ambiguous, or doubtful. 1t
should be clear and explicit; not like
the Republican platform, which leaves
room for double construction. The
greenback theory" as the World
fears, will not be " an element of dis
turbance' in the party, but will give
it strength, and the more it is dis
cussed the stronger it will be with the
people. The Western Democracy will
not be satisfied unless the greenback
theory is clearly recognized in the
platform of the National Democracy.

- The venomous abuse of GRANT

20 The venomous abuse of GRANT
which appears in the Copperhead
press, probably results from the fol-
lowing uncomplimentary remarks
from him concerning the anti-war
gentry:

our duty to do; they fought us brave
". and I for one have no spite against
them. IF they behave themselves, [
shall think well of them. But the

reysled the soldiers, encouraged the
enemy and did their utmost to stop
supplies and reinforcements to cur.

give will never forget them, nor
have anything to do with them.

A FATAL VoYAGE.-About two
weeks since two young men put into
Newport, r. l., in a small boat called
the Dore," from Newburyport for
Baltimore. The craft was visited by
several experienced boatmen, and the
unanimous opinion was that the
chances we're aga INST her reaching her
port of destination. She was skiff-
built, not more than twelve feet long,
and made sharp to add to her speed.
She was so crank that the utmost care
was requisite in moving about in her,
even while lying at the wharf. The
boat has never been heard of since
she left, and the supposition is that
she went down in one of the heavy
gales that set in soon after she de-
parted Boston Journal.

Fourteenth street, and flowed over into

By ten o'clock the crowd. had. not dimiH-
isbed in the least, although hundreds
had purchased tickets. a squad Of po-
licemen was fOune necessary to preserve
order, and long lines Of men were form
ed, which stretched down Fourteenth
street to the Academy of Music, and up
Irving Place to Irving Hall. A long
line of carriages, filed With fashionably
dressed ladies', was stationed in front Of
SteinWay Hall, their occupants patiently
waiting for their footman to purchase
tickets. The crowd was composed ofall
sorts of people. young, old, white head
ed, dapper dressed, German, French,
English and American. Some Lad tax
