DEMOCRATS AFRAID OF UNION SOLDIERS.
In the Soldiers and Sailors Conven-
ton, which met at New York on the 18th
of July, 1865,
General McQuade, of New York,
moved that the Secretary be instructed,
in making up the record of the Conven-
ton, TO omit all military titles of the dele
gates, SO that all might appear there simp.
" as soldiers.
"Private Hildreth, of Illinois, opposed
tho motion, on the ground that the Radi-
calls would use such action by the Con-
vention as going to show that the Con-
Serratire soldiers are afraid TO let ii be
kHolrn that officers took part in the pro-
ceedings. At this request Gen. McQuade
withdrew his resolution.
CoPPERHEAD on THE WAR.
Sanford E. Church, one of the candi-
dates voted for by the Democratic Con-
vention that nominated Seymour and
Blair, in a speech during the Mcclellan
campain said:
sit is an unlawful and unconstitutional
war, it is a wicked war, it is crime against
God and humanity. They have no more
right to call upon the white men of the
North or the treasury of the North to
fight such battles, any more than they
have right, without cause, to make war
upon Brazil and Cuba because the insti
tutions of those countries do not please
their Puritanical notions"
THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
WASHINGTON, June 80, 1868.
Colonel James o. Broadhcad:
DEAR COLONEL: In reply to your in,
quiries beg leave to say that leave TO
you to determine, on consultation with
my friends from Missouri, whether my
name shall be presented to the Democrat
ic Convention, and to submit the follow
ing, as what l consider tho real and only
issue in this contest:
"The reconstruction policy of the Rad
icals will be complete before the next
election; the States so long excluded
will have been admitted; negro suffrage
established and the carpet-baggers in
stalled in their seats in both branches of
Congress. There is no possibility of
III ,ol;t;ool
Senate, even if the Democrats should
popular branch of Congress. We cannot,
therefore, undo the Radical plan of re-
construction by Congressional action !;
the Senate will continue a bar to its
repeal. Must we submit to it? How
can it be overthrown? 1t can only be
overthrown by the authority of the Exec.
utive, who is sworn in to maintain the
Constitution, and who will fail to do his
duty if he allows the Constitution to
perish under q series of Congressional
enactments which are in palpable viola
ton of its fundamental principles.
If the President elected by the Demo
cracy enforces or permits others to en-
force these reconstruction acts, the Rad
icals, by the accession of twenty spurious
Senators and fifty Representative, will
control both branches of Congress, and
his administration will be as powerless as
the present one of Mr.. johnson.
There is but one way to restore the
Government and the Constitution, and
that is for the President elect to declare
these acts null and void, compel the army
to undo its usurpations at the South,
dispense the carpet-bag State govern
ments, allow the white people to reor-
game their own governments, and
elect Senators and Representatives.
The House of Representatives will
contain majority of Democrats from the
