Southern Confederate church and the
Northern copperhesd school, with, perhaps,

We are prepared, therefore, for a Democratic
platform Of the most decided co mplexion in
opposition to negro suffrage and negro

New York Democracy shake In their shoes.

debts in greenbacks, dollar for dollar, and
thus stop the interest. Mr.. Stevens does not
propose any such thing.
WATERING PLAcEs.-This 10 the season of
the year when all who can afford to leave the
heat Of city life fee to the sea side watering
places and elsewhere to avoid the pressure Of
the summer solstice.
In looking over the number Of places OF this
sort, we know Of none more or better fitted for
real enjoyment than Boar's Head on Hampton
Beach, N. II. The entertainment there 10 of a
high order, and all the attractions are good.
Go there II you desire q cool retreat and a
good time.
Hos. R. J. WALKER has written q letter for
the instruction Of the Democracy, and II 10
said that a member OF the convention will
read letter from President johnson at par
ticular time Of the proceedings.
