THE PLATFORM.

The standard of political faith
2 adopted by the Democracy at the Con
vention held in New York, on the 4th
Of July, meets the approval of the
party in this region, and, we doubt
not, throughout the entire country.
% The only point upon which there
was likely to arise any difference in
the Convention was upon the policy
of redeeming the Five-twenty Bonds
in greenbacks, as they fall due. Upon
the feasibility of such a plank there
were many diverse opinions.
The question was settled without
any difficulty by the adoption of a
q straight out II Pendleton platform,
which puts all doubts to rest. The
currency plank is uneGuivocal in its
terms, It provides for the payment
of the public debt of. the United
States as rapidly as practicable, and
the money drawn from the people by
taxation, except SO much as is requi-
site for the necessities of the Govern
ment economically administered, be-
ing honestly applied to such payment,
and when the obligations of the Gov
eminent do not expressly state upon
their face, OF the law under which
they were issued does not provide
that they shall be paid in coin, they
ought, in Alright and in justice, be paid
in the lawful money of the United
States, greenbacks. ID
? 1t also provides for equal taxation
ofeyery species Of property, according
to its real value, including GOVERN
MENT BONDS and other public securi-
ties, as well as one currency for the
Government and the people, the La
borer and the office. holder, the PEN
sioner and the soldier, the producer

GENTLY good for the lordly bond

New Books,

The Blue-Coats, and how they Lived,
Fought and Died for the Union: with
Scenes and Incidents in the Great Re-
bellion," is the title of handsome vol
ume, just issued by Jones Brothers & Co.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
There is a cetrain portion Of the war
that will never go into regular histories.
nor be embodied in romance or poetry.
which is very real part of it, and will,
II preserved, convey to succeeding gene
rations a better idea of the spirit of the
conflict than many dry reports or careful
narratives OF events, and this part may
be called the gossip, the fun, the pathos
OF the war. This illustrates the charac-
ter OF the leaders, the humor of the sol
dlers, the devotion of women, the bray
cry OF men, the pluck of our heroes. the
romance and hardships of the service.
From the beginning of the war, the au-
thor has been engaged in collecting all
the anecdotes connected with or illustra-
tive of it, and has grouped and classified
them under appropriate heads, and in a
very attractive form.
The volume is profusely illustrated
with over one hundred fine encravinps
by the first artists, and its contents in
eiude "reminiscences of camp, picket, spy,
scout, bivouac, siege, and battlefield
with thrilling feats of bravery, wit, drol-
lery, comical and ludicrous adventures
etc., etc. Amusement as we'll as instrue
ton may be found in every page, as
graphic detail, brilliant wit, and authen-
nc history, are skillfully interviewer in
'hls work of literary art. 1t is Just such
volume as will find numerous purchas-
ers, and just such one as persons seek
ng to act as book agents should add to
heir list.

New Hampshire Democracy.

"Henry Clay Dean of Iowa is an
nouneed to stump New Hampshire in
favor of the democracy of that State.
Mr.. Dean, therefore, may be considered
as representative of the New Hamp-
shire democracy, and his doctrines and
sentiments become of interest. This
Dean was member of the Chicago con-
vention of 1864 which declared "the war
failure" and at one of the outside
meetings of that convention made q
speech from which we make the follow
ing extract;
"Since the day when Ahasnerus issued
his edict for the murder of the Jewish
nation, more gigantic crime has not
been recorded than the recent edict of
the ignorant baboon at Washington, cal
ling for half million more of your sons
and brothers, for fresh immolation to
the Abolition god.
BY ignorant baboon," so classically
spoken of by Mr.. Dean, is meant the late
President LINCOLN, and 1t will be seen
that this democratic leader is of the same
type as those mentioned in another arti-
Gle headed A Sample of Democracy"
Here is another extract from the same
speech:
-" But with all the vast armies placed
at his President Lincoln's) commando he
has failed yfaiiedN .taleditt tailed!i!!
Such failure has never been known
since the destruction of the army of SEN
nacherib by the breath of the Almighty.
And still the monster usurper wanted
more men for his slaughter-pens. Mr..
Dean closed his remarks amid the Wild
est shouts"
We submit these extracts to every can
did democrat, and ask him if he wishes
TO be in such company And shall we
ask any soldier if the war failed

MARYLAND PoLITfcAL TROUBLES
Gov. Swami of Maryland was formerly a
Union man, but relapsed with his State
into the hands of the returned rebels,
expecting TO be made United States
senator for his treachery. But even the
copperhead rebels of that State will not
trust him and after hard contest he
has been defeated, and one Hamilton,
said to be more consistent rebel. has
been elected, whereat Gov. Swami is nat
urally indignant, and as governor he re-
fuses to sign Hamilton's credentials, on
the ground that state law, passed over
year ago, provides that the next sena-
tor shall not be elected from the eastern
shore of the State, and that Hamilton
does belong in that part of the state,
but this is a mere rebellion of Swami, as
1t is understood that the Senate would
hold the state law unconstitutional. if it
could get at it, but Hamilton can't take
his seat without credentials. 1t is a fine
little quarrel among the Maryland cop
perheads, "and we shall see we shall see"
