should il succeed in November next, and lnaug-
urate its President, we will meet as a subjected
and conquered people amid the ruins OF liberty
and the scattered fragments of the Constitution.
And We do declare and resolve, that ever since
the people of the United States threw on all
subsection TO the British Crown, the privilege
and trust of suffrage have belonged to the sew
eral States, and have been granted, regulated
and controlled exclusively by the political pow.
or of each State, respectively, and any attempt
by Congress- on any preteXt whatever, 10 de-
prive any state of this right, or interfere with
this exercise, is a fragrant usurpation of power,
which can find no warrant in the Constitution,
and if sanctioned by the people, Will subvert our
form of Government, and can only end IN a
SINGLE centralized, consolidated Government,
in which the separate existence OF the states
will be entirely absorbed, and an unquallned
despotism be established in place of federal
Union of equal States.
That we regard the reconstruction acts so call
ed, of Congress, as such, as usurpations, uncon-
stitutional, revolutionary and void.
That our soldiers and sailors who carried the
flag of our country to victory against most
gallant and determined foe, must ever be CRATE
fully remembered, and all the guarantees given
in their favor must be faithfully carried into
execution.
That the public lands should be distributed as
widely as possible among the people, and should
be disposed of either under the pre-emption OF
homestead lands, or sold in reasonable quantl-
ties, and to none but actual occupants at the
minimum price, established by the Government;
and that, when grants of the public lands may
be allowed, necessary for the encouragement of
important public improvements the proceeds OF
the sale of such lands, and not thes lands them
selves, should be so applied.
That the President OF the United States, An
drew Johnson, in exercising the power of his
high office in resisting the aggressions of Con-
gress on the constitutional rights of the States
and the people, is entitled TO the gratitude OF
the whole American people, and ON behalf of
the Democratic party we tender him our thanks
for his patriotic efforts in that regard.
Upon this platform the democratic party ap-
peal to every patriot, including all the conserva-
tive element and all who desire TO support the
Constitution and restore the Union, forgetting
all past differences of opinion, to unite with us
IN the present great struggle for the liberties of
the people; and that to all such, to whatever
extend the right hand of fellowship, and hail
all such cooperating with friends and
brothers

The ordinary expenditures of the Gov
ernment for the present fiscal year are
only S1O2,S1s, AT in paper, whereas ten
years ago, on gold basis, and before the
era of high prices, they were $4,000, 900
under the Democratic administration of
James Buchanan.
Since the war closed, in q period of
about three years, the public debt has
been reduced between OO,OOO,OO and
$500, 100000.
The Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Re-
publican Congress have renewed $751; =
600, 900 of taxes, that but for this action
the people would now be called upon to
pay.
In three years the army has been re-
duced from ,005, SIG men to about 40, 900.
and proposition is now pending for its
reduction to $4,000.
The years of war cost So ZOO, ,OOO, 900.
and the years of peace about $500, ,0OO,-

The taxes removed have been from all
domestic industry, from cotton, from
agricultural products, from minerals,
from petroleum, and that the tax upon
whisky has been reduced IS per cent,

OF the eleven states which went into
rebellion, eight have been restored to
their old relations to the Union under
loyal governments, and are now repre-
sented in Congress.

The Richmond Examiner, in review
ing the letter of acceptance of Gen. Blair,
says:

shows himself well qualified by wise

The Richmond Dispatch also applauds
the second Blair letter, and already re-
CARDS its author as "a man that people
delight to honor in revolutionary times. ~
The long silence of Mr.. Seymour is re-

As to Mr.. Seymour, the Dispatch speaks
thus ominously:
IF Governor Seymour should under

General Blair's platform he will only
injure the cause he desires to promote,

Grant, Honesty and Peace.

An English paper, commenting on the
Tammany nominations, suggests that
the opponents of Seymour and the repu-
diation platform have only to raise the
cry CT "Grant and Honesty" to carry
the whole country. The suggestion is
accepted, though with Grant and the
Republican party generally, honesty is
taken as q matter of course. But let us
make an addition and inseribe on our
banners "Grant Honesty and Peace."-
These are what the true Republicans, the
true patriots, are striving for in the pend
ing canvass. The Democrats, on the
other hand, are laboring for Seymour,
reputation and war. This is their pro-
pramme as enunciated by various lead
ers of the party, and notably by their
nominee for the Vice Presidency. Gen.
eral Graft, however, is for honesty and
peace, al d the Republican party are for
Grant and Colfax, honesty and peace

editor SAYS, it is sure to "carry the whole

ISLANDERS of Radicals Successfully Refut-

We are pleased to learn that the Rad
ical ISLANDERS against the ever loyal and
faithful Democracy will be triumphant
ly refuted on the stump during the COM
ing campaign, by undoubted expOnents
of the Democratic sentiment. We copy
the programme from the Hartford Post.
1t will be seen that not a vestage of the
Loyal libels will remain:
The Democrats are about organizing
their campaign. Orators will be select
ed with especial regard to their fitness
| for certain localities, and their adapta-
| ton to he business of meeting and re-
futing certain Black Republican slan-
ders.
1t has been charged that Seymour was
not loyal man-that he did not con-
tribute to the support of the Rebellion.
Mr.. Vallandigham will answer that
charge upon that stump in the North,
and Wade Hampton in the South. Both
of these gentlemen support Seymour on
account of his loyalty.
1t has been charged that he was in
sympathy with the New York rioters in
July. James and Erastus Brooks and
Isaiah Rinders, who melted the mob,
will answer that charge. They support
him because he put down the riot.
1t is charged that he is in favor of paw
ing the interest ON the national debt in
"irredeemable currency" Geo. H PEN
dleton will be put upon the stump to
answer this. Pendleton supports him
because he is the bendholder,s candi:
date.
1t is charged that Seymour is in favor
of paying the coupons in gold Mr.. Bel
mont, who is a great stickler for eqnali-
ty in taxation and now supports Sew
mour as pillow holder against the bond
holders. will put several speakers on the
stump to refute this charge.
Ii is charged that Frank Blair is in
favor of overturning the governments of
the reconstructed States by military in
reference. Henry Clay Dean, who is
eminently nan of peace, will throw
his whole intellectual "heftr on that
slander. -
1t is charged that Blair drinks. Sauls-
bury. of Delaware, will reply to that ae-
cusation.
1t is charged that the platform is in
favor of reputation. Brick Pomeroy, an
eminent upholder of the national debt
and honor, will devote himself to an
swering this charge
1t is charged that the election of the
ticket will ''secure to the Confederacy
what it failed to obtain in the field" In |
answer to this base slander such dirtin-
guished patriots as Henry A. Wise, G. |
L. Beauregard, Wade Hampton, Gov
ernor Vance, Jeff. Davis and Alex. HI. |
Stephens will take the stump.

How They See 1t.

The true position of the Democracy is
clearly demonstrated in the following
little incident which occurred at Graf
ton, West Virginia, last week, at the
Democratic State Convention. Mr.. Geo.
III. Pendleton, the great embodiment of
Democracy, made lengthy and vigor-
Gus speech, setting fourth the principles
of the party, its objects, &C., and con-
eluded in his best style. After leaving
the platform, he was accosted by a one
armed man, who stepped up to hin. and
said, "Mr. Pendleton, allow me to con-
gratulate you on the excellence of your
speech. can we'll appreciate it, as L
lost this arm in defence of the principles
you advocate" at the same time holding
up to view the stump of his arm. "Ahui
said MIR. Pendleton, with bland smile.
Eyes, Sir" said the ex-soldier, 81 lost
that arm while fighting in the Southern
army against the Abolition Govern
ment." fr f..,-
Mr.. Pendleton walked on rather CON-
fused; but the soldier reflected his senti-
ments truly Baltimore American.

How seymour Takes at New York.

the following little incident, which
shows how things are working at the

on Saturday, the dining place where
merchants and lawyers congregate.-
There happened to be quite number of
active politicians present representing
both sides. Though the thermometer
was above 80, the discussion became
quite animated. Among the company
was distinguished lawyer who was
quite opposed to Gen. Grant. He was
addressed by person present, who said:
You take the stump for Seymour, 1
suppOse?" No, / DON'T was the re-
sponse. Well, you will support the
Democratic nominee, you are SO bitter
against Grant?' L don't like Grant.

''The war has ceased but those who

that no period in the history of our

The Secret of Long Life.

One of the most sensible savings ON
the art of longevity, so far as it can be
considered attainable, was that given by
an Italian in his 116th year. Being ask-
ed the secret of his living so long, he
replied, with that improvisation for
which his countrymen are SO generally
noted:
when hungry, of the best eat. = .
a. And dry and warm keepmy feet: s,s
a-ei screen my head from sun and rain p
And let few cares perplex my brair.''
A writer observes that the last line
contains the quintessence of the best
advice that can be given ON the subject.
The deadliest foe to longevity is excite
ment. Every man is born with a GER
tain stock of vitality which cannot be
increased, but which may be husbanded
or expended rapidly as he deems best
Within certain limits he has his choice
to live fast or slow, to live extensively
or lnextensively, to draw his little
amount of life over large space, or to
condense it into narrow one, but when
his stock at length becomes exhausted
be has no more. He who lives exfen-
sively, who avoids all stimulants. takes
lght exercise, never oyertasks himself
lndulges no exhausting passions. feeds
