Tas platform was presented and
adopted yesterday, AID respecting 1t,
It seen1s 90 Us the Pen6ieton wing o.
the party has gslnsd decisive victory.
From ils character We cannot doubt
that lbe western eoppeEbsads and the
Southern con!sderatss combined
against the Eastern men. Il embraces
substantially the Revolutionary pro.
g.anauae put forth few days since by
Frank Blair. The party takes bold,
decided, aggressive ground, as they did
Immediately after the election Of Lin.
coin in 1854. They make no apologies
for the past. no Iecsntstion Of erTorE,
no promises Of amendment in the
future.
Two vital questions We conceive, sDd
only two are embraced in this plat
form The one Eecons,ructioD in the
south, and the other the public
debt. The f.st OF these necessarily
ineludes several minor pianks Of the
platform. The other plsnks are mere
make weights. Concerning recopS;rUc-
,ion, the Convention boldly takes The
ground that all the legislation Of Con-
grezs with a view 10 the restoration u
civil government in the rebel States is
sn usUrpstioD, unconstitutional and
void. This Is dangerous proposition,
aud coming IN the deliberately express
ed purpose Of great party that nov
controls the Eailonsl Executive ard
strongly hOps= to have The next sd-
un.BlstIation and d u4aJOrisy ofthe next
lower Hoasg q Congress, II esuno: fail

On the sggjec: OF The dsU: the plat
form proposes the theory Of 5ir. Pen
dielou. and not content with soy Of
the svssions suggested, boldly declares
that the lwo tbousaud millions Of five
twenty bonds shall bs redeemed IN ir-
Istsemable paper. It declares further
n favor OF taxing all the bonds Of the
Government equally with other prop
eEty. THIS being 10 the latter case an
undoubted violation uf faith, 1t is undis-
guised reputation, as far as il goesf
and II goes fsE enough. II such action
were attempted, TO ruin the credit Of
the Government and bring about d
Reputation Of the whole debt. For IL
lhis easy mode Of paying debt be once
entered upon. 1t is bzTd TO believe the
temptation TO go on could be resisted.
We srs glad 70 see this party assun-
ing such radical and revolutionary
ground. Their assumptions are une-
quivoeal. 1ney make the issues before
the country sharp and definite. No
body need be deceived; and with all
DISCUSSES thus thrown OF, this mad,
desperate and unscrupulous organiza-
ton, which now goes before the coun-
try with a Ihreat to undo Ali the work
Of the war for the Union and to make
all The sacrifices of that contest vain
and fru!;less, Will meet with such a
defeat as Will leave no trace Of its
reasonable theories In the politics of
the country ever after.
