out as the Democratic platform TO be pre-
sented to their National Convention on the
fourth Of July, According to their story
the planks are these: /. A declaration against
human slavery. 2. A declaration that the
Confederate debt is void. 8. The national
debt to be paid exactly rs prescribed BY
law. e. Qualified manhood suffrage, TO be
controlled by the States. For this basis
they say they are sure a great party can be
built up, that shall not only draw nearly al
the Democratic strength 70 itselt, but also
secure large conservative Republican sup

Tor the most available candidate to run oT
such platform.

The House yesterday adopted a resolution
for the more efficient prosecution of the inn
peachment Of the President. The resolu.
sion will be found in our telegraphic dis
patches. This looks as though the Repub.

real earnest, and are determined 70 sift the
matter to the bottom. This resolution has
led to 'speculations here which point to 8
different result on the next trial.

The Union is wholly wrong in supposing
that we deny the right Of any man to sub
scribe for or discontinue taking newspaper
any day he pleases to do so. What we claim
is that, any man who discontinues taking
newspaper because the editor performed
what he conceived to be his duty, or exer-
cised his rights as an editor,-any man who
discontinues his subscription for that reason,
shows that he would, if he could, control the
voice of the paper; that his patronage carries
with it an implied agreement that his toes
shall not be tread upon and that, if he had
the power he would limit the press to his
narrow views and require. it to speak with
his little cracked voice, or be silent.
Such men out to learn that it is quite impor.
tant for their rights and for the good of the
whole public that the voice of the press
should never be controlled by favors OF
frowns, BY patronage or poverty. If they
cannot learn this lesson they had better moi
take any newspaper, and crawl through life
with no attempt the appreciate the meaning
of our republican institutions.
