THE CHICAGO PLArroRM-The resolutions
of the Republican National Convention are
so manifes:ly nor. .committal and insincere as
to excite the disgust of the respectable por.
lion of the Republican party. The New
York Times. while supporting the nominees
"spits upon the platform" as follows:
A Republican convention in 1868 ought to
have been able to present something more
effective than promises. The party has been
in power long enough to have gathered a
rich store Of performances. 1t should have
been able to go before the country with a
record of services rendered in regard both
to retrencbment and taxation. The public
purse has been for years altogether in its
hands. 1t has had exclusive management OF
the appropriations and exclusive power over
the forms and amount Of taxation. How
happens it, then, that in platform intended
to set forth its claims to a continued conf
dence it has nothing better to offer than
resolves in favor of reforms which il has OBJ.
stinately and culpably neglected? Why is
1t that no serious attempt has been made TO
enforce even moderate economy, and that in
consequence, the abolition of taxes must he
followed by their reimposition or by u large
addition to the debt? These are weak spots
in the party Us record. They are condem
nation to its recent congressional career, and
sorry exemph6cauon of fidelity and capacity
in fiscal and financial affairs. OF course its
IN the past are not a reason for
omiiing pledge for the future. But they
detract somewhat from the strength of the
platform as relates to these subjects, and
may also serve to moderata the confidence
every Republican is supposei to feel in the
hold Of his party upon the intelligence and
patriotism Of the country.

BEAUTIFULLY ExPREssEp.-The Democrats
of Springfield, Illinois, held an immense and
enthusiastic ratification meeting on the ed
of July. General John a. McClernand ad-
dressed the meeting and after highly eulo-
gizing Seymour and Blair said:
These arc the men whom the Democracy

principles of Democracy are coeval with
liberty and the rights Of man. They are the
principles of the Constitution which bind
together these States as a common VIII lie,
and which lately upheld the American peo
pie in degree of prosperity unexampled in
the history of nations. They recognize vir
tue and intelligence as the basis and stay
cf all Tree government, and acknowledge the
right and capacity of the people to govern
themselves. They affirm the equality Of the
States. and forbid Federal interference in
their domestic institutions. They set bounds
to the action of Congress, and would ex.
clude from their jurisdiction whatever is not
nominated in the Federal bond and does not
concern the States as a collective whole
They condemn class Legislation, as tending
to make the rich richer and the poor pourer-
as tending to build up II privileged aristo
cracy upon the ruins of liberty and the
rights of the people. They are opposed to
the policy that would create public debt
and preserve it as public blessing that
would impose burthensome taxes as o means
of strengthening and enriching the hands of
power. They are in favor of plain govern.

that public debt is a public blessing, and

HOMICIDE TAT DANGERFIELD.-We learn
from Chas. NJ. Smith, editor of the Mount
Pleasant Press, who left Dangerfelj at 10
o'clock yesterday morning, that Sergeant
C. ii. Pearson, Of the 9th U. S. Cavalry, was
killed at that place on Sunday evening the
LIST inst, by n man named English.
1t seems that English killed freedman
some time back at Snow Hill, in Titus coun.
ty, and the Military authorities had been
trying to arrest him. On the evening of
the murder Sergeant Pearson was on his
way to this city, and while at the Saloon
of Mr.. Mays, English stepped in and was
called by name. Sergeant Pearson asked
him ifhis name was English, to which
English replied, no, that his name was
Smith. Sergeant P. then took hold Of his
(English's) gun, when English fired at him
with his six shooter, the balls taking effect
in the head and breast, causing immediate
death. English made his escape.
company of troops, under Lieut.. Holt,
came down from Mt Pleasant on Sunday
night, and arrested large number of citi-
zens, who were to be carried to Mt. Pleas

unfortunate occurrence, and to see SO many
good citizens brought into trouble by the
acts of one man, while the guilty party
has escaped punishment, at least for the
present.-JeGerson Jimplecute, March Sd.

which, in n few moments envclopcd

carelessncss, or with the intention
of burning the buildings, seems TO
be matter of some doubt. Every
