The above speaks for itself, aud is its O yn
best commentary. Il is plain anil explicit
and is not susceptible Of two meanings. The

York EommpyciM t9eeiIser:
RADICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE Plat
FoRtt.
Any one who was present Ii the Con
ventlon yesterday, and Witnessed the ;ov
and ecS asy ofthe Pendletoa men er ths
reception of the platform, did M, have to
wait TO read it to know thai it was exclusive
ly of their manufacture. When the plat
form was adopted, the great rcpudiatnr's $
supporters set up yell of delight which
coui4 have been heard two blocks away. and
they shook hands and slapped one anolhor.
upon .hc shorlder as If the victory were
already wen.
And why should tley not be merry and
and rGJ'lee With eXcpeq.ng joy? They bad
accomplished, so iaras the platform was
concerned, all they demanded The E.st
had suetGmbed TO them ana they had ph:i-
ted the banner o! Repatriation overthe Con- |
vehtl6n. ihe ;cymour wing had been de- |
teated Chase could not now accept the |
nomination without stulriiying his rtc1rd !
aud giving he lie to his whoie course while |

Al-o read >ha following comments from

ment on the bonds. Ii the Democratic
doctrine became popular, there would be
gradual tenGcncyto depreciation Of bonds
in the markets of Europe. That is as cer>

capitalists see any tendency on the gatt Of

4jlrnces Of depreciation to tall? When

they hit the industrious ana careful, who
By years of prudence and good manage
ment were enabled to saw The naiiol in its
lime OF peril.
There miil be many adventurers; who
have not ttWeG.g dollars capital and ave
heavily ,i1 da5uf, who will sing the praises OF
repndiA'ion. It matters little to them who
'inks so long as they swim. Without p!ack
q ability for honesr work. men who never
lid a. day 5 work in tnuir lives, viii crv out
greenbacks for bonds. They know not

1t only remains for US now to show that :
Sovernor Seymour accepts and inlorsfs this .
)lattorm, and the work is done. On Friday {
Governor Seymour was notified o! his nomi-
lation BY The National Committee, and from ,
lis speech iii acceptance We make the follow .
