The Two Platforms.

The Nashville onion and DiSpdtch
thinks there is no difference between
the Democratic and Radical platforms
in insisting that the public debt shall be
honorably paid, but that there is wide
difference as to how ii shall be paid
The Radical platform is so Wordcd as to
demand the payment of the whole debt,
including the iiye-twonties, in gold,
while the Democratic platform insists
that these bondholders shall be paid
"the lawful money Of the United sta
tcs," the same as the soldiers and others
who rendered service to the govern
ment were paid. Thad. Stevens says it
was perfectly understood that the five
tWenties were to be redeemed in this
currency, and the Democrats do not pro-
pose to disturb this perfect understand

The Nomination at the East.

That Old, sturdy and sterling print,
the Hartford Times, has the following
to say of the nomination of Seymour :
Coy. Seymour's reputation is wider
than the Union, and his ability and i'll
tcgrity arc believed to be fully equal to
the high duties which he will be called
upon 10 discharge. We need not say
tia, The nomination has fallen upon a
true and reliable representative OF the
Democratic party. Without dcroga-
ton Of The patriotism or the power OF
the eminent man who wears the robes
of the Chief Justice, we may say that
at this juncturc it required Democrat
10 unite the great party of the people,
and TO win. This docs win. Governor
Seymour will be elected. The platform
is as sound and strong as the nomina-
ton. Both will sweep the West like a
whirlwind, and indeed carry nearly all
the Northern States, as well rs some OF
the Southern.

Governor seymour's Popularity.

The New York san, an influential
Radical journal, in speaking Of Gov
ernOr Seymour's nomination, says:
ole is the most popular candidate
that could have been selected to COM
mand the vote of the party on this side
Of the Alleghanics. In the South he
will be as cordially supported as could
be any purely Democratic nominee"
We will speak for the party on the
Western side, and we assure our CO.

other Democrat can command larger
vote than Gov. Seymour. lie is one of

(From the Boston Post. J

With the character and services of
the nominees Of the convention, the
country is much too familiar to require
q recapitulaton. That they have been
placed in their present position by a
national body of delegates, is con-
yincing demonstration of their elevated
worth and their fitness for the re-
rponsiblc work to which they have
been called. None who contide in the
high patriotism OF the convention can
raise question respecting the sterling
qualities of the distinguished men it
has nominated. Their names will make
the union Of the Democracy still strong
or, invite the increased confidence OF
the conservatives. and break the thral-
dom in which radicalism holds its fol-
| lowers.

to maintain the integrity of the Union.

In this city it is certainly gaining

The conservative who finds fault
with our platform because it docs not
pledge the payment of bonds in gold,
has no excuse for abandoning the party
on that account, and cannot take refuge
among our opponents. The Democrat
ic platform says unequivocally that the
faith and credit Of the Government
must be maintained, not only in its
dealings with bondholdcrs, but in set
Element with the humblest man who
holds u claim against it. Where the
contract says coin, the claim must be
paid in coin. In other cases, payment
is to be made sin lawful money of the

hey" is left to be determined by the
Courts. But at all events there is to be
one measure for all--thc same money
