introduce iht3 {hS House new articles Of
impeachment
From Our New York Correspondent.
Dear American, The time for the
assembling Of the National Conservative
Democratic Convention Is so near at hand
that think a foreshadowing Of the Plat
form to be adopted will not be without in
terest to the readers of the american. We
have two parties here in the great National
Conservative Democratic party-the Tanl-
mary Hall party aud the Mozart party, on
the Northern and Southern wings, both
with headquarters at the celebrated Flee
Points. Some call themselves the Huff
man party, some the Woods party, and
some tho Morriyey party. All THESE, to-
gether with the Rebels Of the South, are
TO be united Into ono great grand party
under the leadership Of JEFF. Davis, j. Z.
Breckenridge, Dan Voorhees,, G. l.. VAL
landigham. Jno. Morrissey, N. b. Forrest,
and the gallant leader OF the Democratic
Rebellion, Maj. Gen. X. g. Lee, O. s. A.
War Democrats, except the Southern
branch, are to be left out in the cold. The
following are some Of the planks FORE
shadowed, as have gathered them from
some Of the adrot political wire workers
of.the party:
Resotrcd, That the man who drew up
the Declaration Of Independence didn't
know what he was writing about when he
undertook 10 make the people believe that
"all men are created equal and endowed
by their Creator with certain inalienable
rights, among which are life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness" and ought TO
have said ali WHITE men instead of all
men.
Resoired, That We are in favor Of q
metallic hard money currency for the
oticeholders Of ,he party, while dirty,
'oorthiess greeaback rags will do for the
people.
Rcsoiped, That we are in favor of the
Constitution as il was, aud os il is, aud as
IT Is to be for all time, present, past and
future.
Resolred. That the late Abolition war
WAS a failure, as We resoired at Chicago
about four years ago.
Resotced, That no Abolitionist il en-
titled to life, liberty, or the pursuit Of
happiness.
Resotred, That we believe in no secret
political societies, except the Sons Of
Liberty, Knights of the Golden Circle, the
ku-Kux Khan aud the Blue Boys in
White.
ResolUcd, That We believe in no poll
teal bastiles except such us were Instituted
at Salisbury, Belle Isle, Libby, &c.
Resolred, That secession and treason
are Christian virtues, TO be INDUCED in
whenever the Abolitionists rule the
country,
ResoiUed, That the late war was got
ten up by the Abolitionists firing upon
Fort Sumter.
Rcsoired, That we have exceeding
great love for all soldiers except "Liucoln
hirelicgs," and for them too, provided
thew will vote the Democratic ticket.
Resolved, That marching under the
Federal flag aud firing cannon was very
popular during he late unpleasantness,
and therefore We WILL use the same Gag in
our professions, and will also fire cannon
on the getting together in our great
meetings during the coming campaign.
Rcsoired, That General Jackson is
dead; therefore We will raise hickory poles
aud ride in hickory wagons. for the pur-
pose Of celebrating the great victory ct
New Orleans.
Rssoired, Tha, we are peace men in time
of war, aud cdr men 10 time of peace.
Lastly we resolve that sRichmond can
not be taken" "Lec will whip Grant,"
"the South cannot and ought not TO be
conquered" six millions of men lighting
for their liberties never were aud never
can be subduod;f that "all the Lincoln
dogs ought TO be killed." that "it is the
duty Of every Democrat to kill or cripple
mn Aboliiionisi;" that "thc country be-
longs TO tho Democratic party" and that
"it is their exclusive right and privilege
to ral-or ruin IL as they see 6t, and no
Abolitionist has any right to complain;"
that 1--WE adopt and resiirm these our
principles, aud also the principles Of the
Kentucky aud Virginia resolutions of '9s
aud 90"
"We also adopt the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence, Jetfersons Manual and Old
uiekory's Farewell Address, aud that
no niger should be allowed to vote, ex-
cept the $4,000 who CALAMITY voted the
Democratic ticket in the State OF Georgia;
that Georgia ringers don't stink. but all
others do; that We are now aud always
will be in favor Of qualified mnicersal suf.
frage for all men except those who may
happen 10 be over six feet high, or have
nose over three inches long, or weigh less
i66 pounds, or don't vote the nnscratched
Democratic ticket. We are against all
banss, except those chartered by Demo-
cratic Legislatures are for judicious
Tariff for revenues IN favor ofthe next war,
we do not have to fight where
hey use bullets, burn powder, eat hard
ack, or camp out at night.
