The Democratic State Convention, which as
senbled at Nebraska City, passed the whereasoa
and resolution following, as their platform, and by
your permission I win comment upon them briefly
through the oolumes Of the Advertiser
"THEREAS, THE POLICY OF TIE PRES
ENT CONGRESS OF TIE UNITED STATES
UPON THE S0-CALLED QUESTION OF RE-
CONSTRUCTIONS OF TIE SOUTHERN STATES
Is AN INFAMOUS SUBMISSION OF the
SOVEREIGN RIGHTS OF TIE PEOPLE OF
THOSE STATES"
That is to say: "Tbe right" 10 murder and as
s~nssinate- negroes, and all men who were loyal to
their country during the timo wo, TIE Dsuoorpoy,
were trying to destroy it. 'Tho right" to practice,
treason,-"the right to ~reinstato slavery" The
right to shut out the light which has but now be.
gun to dawn on the benigbted minds Of "the PEG
pie of those States"
"And the persistent efforts Of the Radical party
to fasten, by legislative enactment, upon the PEG
pie Of this, and other States. the odious anddecrad-
ing doctrines of Negro Suffrage against their kaoWFe
and expressed will, is a gross us1rpation Of power. !"
That is to say "The persistent efforts of the
Radical party to save the country from the entire
rule Of traitors, and to enact such laws as will war
rant unto the people Of those States y white
black and yellow-that which they have never yet
possessed viz Christianity, civilization, education
and other great blessings incident to Liberty, such
as the Fathers Of the Republic contemplated in its
beginning the persistent efforts Of the Radical
party 10 forever release from the chains that bound
the negroes body and tie negroes soul, and bound
the masses Of the people of those States in heather.
ish ignorance, is a gross usurpation Of power.
The continuation Of that power which whipped
the trtason-loving Democracy into submission, and
which has thus far saved the country from the red
hands and develish SCREENINGS Of the reason loving
Democracy, is a "usuTpation of power 1t was a
usurpa ton ofpoHer which overthrow the ~incestous
aristocracy-tha wench seducing DemocracyD who
fought the hosts for the Onion 80 tenaciously to
save their ebony hsrems, and perpetuate their
eoncubi nage-it is q usurpation of power to make
and enforce laws for the protection Of Union men
against assassi nation by bushwhacking democracy,
and to make and enforce laws to protect the virtue
Of negro women from brutal assault By chivalrOus
democracy.
aAnd Whereas, The Radical party have exhih-
tied a total unftness to be entrusted with the ad-
ministra aion Of she affairs Of this Government"
That is to say "The Radical party have exhib-
tied . total unftne5s to be entrusted with the ad-
ministration of the affairs of this Government"
because the Radical party saved this Government,
when We the democracy Of the North and the dem
ocracY Of the South tried to destroy it-because
The Radical party still persists in saving the coun-
and persists in thwarting the REASONABLE de-
Of the chief of treason-Ioving democracy
sinking old carcass occupies the Presiden-
tial Chair-because the Radical party persists in
the policy that TIE Sout ern States shall be SO re-
as to be beyond the power Of democracy
10 destroy the unity of the States, should they
again attempt to do so.
therefore be it "ReeolUed, BY the representa-
Of the Democracy Of the State of Nebraska
in convention assembled, that we will wage a war
Of political extermination against them. and plaoe
situation and she Union, the National Democratic
party"
We will wage a war Of political extermin alton
against them, and place OncO more in power the
Democratic party" That Is to say After having
a war with ire and sword, and murdered (,
thousands Of Union men in our mad efforts to dis
solve the Union, and put under oar feet the Union
party, and caused desolation and sorrow in every
for the murdered sons and fathers who I
opposed US, We were defeated, humbied, and
brought to shame, and our hands seem rcd with
ne bleed Of the innocent slain, now "we viii wage

and with bitter hearts aud with hypo- 8
ritical faces, and with all manner Of deceit, viii
