The Democratic Party Platform.

We publish the Democratic platform,
along with the other proceedings of
the Convention, and leave our readers to
Judge ofits merits for themselves, without
any special attempt on our part to point
out either its beauties or its deformities.
1t is enough to say that it demands the
immediate restoratio n Of the Union under
the Constitution, and declares that the
tout ensemble Of the So called Reconstruc-
ton laws Of the Mongrel Congress are
'unconstitutiOnal, invalid and void"
and therefore, when the accursed iRstn-
ments of military despotism are with
drawn from the South, the whole COM
bined fabric of carpet-bagism, Mongrel-
ism, niggerism aud utter devilism that
DOW. like a improyised bell, is torturing
eight millions Of our people, collspseS
into utter nothingness, and leaves not
even a wreck behind
On the currency, or debt question,
the platform takes the ground that the
bonds of the government are payable
in the lawful money of the couHtry--
greenbacks; and It demands the prin-
ciple of equal taxation; bondholder
and bondmanalike to share that harden.
Essentially the platform demands
restoration OF the Union under the
Constitution, aud relief from the terri
BILE burden Of taxation in the North, bot
these simple. and, under the circum-
stances. awful propositions, are mixed
up with SO much Of the verbiage and
nonsense Of ''ye smart politicians" !" that

The following is from Harper's Magazine twelv

The following is from Harper Magazine twelve
years old, which is we'll worth republshing
The following piece of composition may be
backed against anything ever produced. 1t was
written half a century ago, by Sir Doyle Roche,
a member of the Irish Parliament in the troubl-
Gus times of " 'Ninety-Eight," when handful
of men from the county of Wexford, struck ter
ror to the hearts of many gallant SON of Mars,
as well as the worthy writer himself The letter
was addressed to, a friend in London, and it is
old enough to be new to nine in ten of the read
ers of the =" Drawer -
My DEAR SIR Having now little peace
and quietness, sit down to inform you of the
dreadful hustle and confusion we are all in from
these blood thirsty rebels, most of whom are
thank God killed and dispersed. We are in a
pretty mess-can. get nothing to eat nor any
wine to drink, except whisky and when we sit
down to dinner, we are obliged to keep both
hands armed. While write this hold a sword
in each hand and pistol in the other.

would be the end of it, and see was right for

goings-on, thatl everything is at a stand-still.
should have answered your letter fortnight
ago, but did not receive it till this morning.
Indeed, scarcely a mail arrives safe without be-
ing robbed. No longer ago than yesterday the
coach with the mails from Dublin was robbed
near this town. The bags had been judiciously
left behind for fear of accident, and by good
luck there was nobody in except some outside
passengers, who had nothing for the thieves to
take. Last Thursday notice was given that a
gang of rebels was advancing under the French
standard, but they had no drums except bag
pipes.
!" Immediately every man in the place, includ-
ing women and children, ran out to meet them.
We soon found our force much too little; but we
were too near to think of retreating. Death was
in every face, but to it we went, and by the time
half of our little party were killed, we began to
be all alive again. Fortunately, the rebels had
no guns except pistols and pixies, and as we had
plenty of muskets and ammunition, we put them
all to the sword. Not soul of them escaped,
except some that were drowned in an adjacent
bog, and in very short time nothing was heard
but silence. Their uniforms were all of differ
ent colors, but mostly green. After the action
we to rumage sort of which they had
left behind them. All we found was few pixies
without heads, parcel of empty bottles full oi
water, and bundle of French commissions fill
ed with Irish names. Troops are now stationed
all round the country, which exactly squares
with my ideas. / have only time to add that
am in great haste.

The biggest Gam. of Poker ever Known

The newspapers have story Of Commodore
Vanderbilt seeing" blackleg's bluff at poker
and going $50, 900 steamboat better, but this is
reading long since in Mississippi paper:
In the days when the Hon. George Poindexter
represented the State in the Federal Senate, say
some thirty-6ve years ago, before the time of the
railroads, be started from Natchez by an up
river boat, on his way tc Washington. The Ag-
rcultural Bank, having heavy deposit to make
in one of the Pittsburgh banks, entrusted the
money to his charge.
Before many hours elapsed some of the sport.
ing fraternity were making up little game, and
invited the Senator to take hand, to which,
nothing loath, he consented. The game ran
about the usual course of such things, while the
professionals were taking the measure of their
intended victim, and guessing at the size Of his
pile. When those points were settled to their
satisfaction, the business began in earnest.
An overpowering hand was dealt to Mr.. Poin-
dexter, upon which he made small bet, the
others passed, with one exception, who saw
him" and went thousand dollars better. To
this he responded with another thousand better,
when the gambler replied, 81 see your thousand
dollars and 60 thirty thousand dollars better
for perceiving that his customer was pretty flush
he did not dare risk few thousand.
Poindexter replied that that was more money
than he had, but he would put up his pile,
which entitled him to sight. This the other
denied to be the law. "Certainly," said Mr.. P,
"I always understand that gentleman has a
right to show for his money"
"Not unless it is stipulated before hand y
and the gambler appealed to the gentlemen
present, who sustained him.
"Come," said the rufian, throwing down a
well-flled pocket-book, and laying his watch on
the table, /" go thirty thousand dollars better,
and give you FIVE minutes to raise the money"
Poindexter bid him count his money and
there it was, sure enough in good bills. Well,
said he, rising. 81 will see if can find any
friends who will furnish the funds" and he
passed into the ladies' cabin in which was his
stateroom. He fingered sometime, and as the
hand nearing the last minute, returned
quickly, took his seat, drew bulky pocket-book
from his breast, and laying it upon the table,
calmly said
"Sir, see your thirty thousand dollars, and
60 hundred and twenty thousand dollars bet
ter, and give you FIVE minutes to raise the
money"
1t was the turn of the astonished gambler to
call for a count, but before Mr.. Poindexter got
through with the hundred and fifty thousand
he threw down his hand-there being too many
spectators to make it safe to raise a row-and
with his companions, went ashore at the next
woodward"
