NoTuIss in the New York Platform

not? Because the Democracy didn't dare
to make open opposition TO it a part of their
resolutions. Suppose they had,and had then
gone ON To nominate Judge Chase, which

THAppRus STEVENS was man whose po-
litical honesty conld not be questioned.
He had no concealments. In all his long
and active life lie was positively for or posi-
lively against whatever proposition might di-
vide public opinion. And no man can
iruihfully say that he was ever found es-
1ousipg an effort that would narrow the
rights Of the people; his best years were
spent in earnest and noble exer;ions to give
liberty, education and suffrage to every good
citizen No friend of the public schools did
so much to establish and preserve the system
in Pennsylvania, thirty years ago, as Thad-
deus Stevens, and for this alone that great
Commonwealth owes him perpetual debt
of gratitude. For his labors In late years,
the Repu lie is not less under obligations,
and his position in Congress, stern, steady,
resolutc, in defending the cause of the peo-
Pile and Of mankind was grand and heroic
one.
Thaddeus Stevens had the respect of his
most positive political opponents, and there
are few who will deny to him the quality OF
great talent, and the virtue ofperfcct SINGER
ity.

1T ALWAYS gives US pleasure 10 add our
testimony in favor of a gallant soldier a true
patriot, and an honest and competent public
servant. Such a man the Republicans of
Pennsylvania have in their candidate for
Auditor General, the present mos: excellent
incumbent, General ]. F. Hartranfi. The
following, from the Harrisburg Telegraph,
does him not q jot more than justice. We
know the man, and know the truth OF the
statements made;
.The numerous duties of his office have
been discharged by him in such satisfacto-
ry manner that his political opponents have
not even dared TO charge him with partially
or incompetency. The interests of the State
have been judiciously guarded, and not
wthstanding the extraordinary expenses in
CURED by the war, the State debt has been
reduced more than five millions of dollars
during the administration of General Hart
rant 1t is universally conceded that
clearer headed lawyer. q closer business man,
and more conscientious gentleman In all
his actions, or fairer or safer official could
not be selected to guard the interests of the
people in the Auditor Generals Office in
Pennsylvania, than John F. Hartranft. and
we feel satisfied that the people of this State
will reelect him to his present position by a
largely increased majority"

outrages that could shock a civilized communi.
~ was perpetrated upon young girl residing

was going along the road when she met these
two Iufflan., one Of whom (Harrisonl took her
INTO the woods, and accomplished his purpose,
but white man was seen coming mp who
frightened them OF, thus preventing double
rage. The villains were pursued and ar
rested, and brought before Justice McDevitt, of
Hampton, who. knowing the insecurity OF the
Jail at Hampt on, and fearing that some vioieu Se
might be attempted by the citizens, sent them
10 the military prison at Camp Hamilton, and
rec commended that Harrison be placed in
irons. The young lady belongs TO highly re.

gotten hold Of the ne groes they would have
hanged them to the nearest tree. They are now
held in the military prison, awaiting their trial
