DEMoCRATIC PLATFORM.

1. That the federal government is
limited in power to the grants contain
ed in the Federal Constitution; that
the exercise of doubtful constitutional
powers is dangerous to the stability of
the government and the safety of the
people, and the democratic party will
never consent that the State of Penn
sylvania shall surrender her great right
of local self-government.
2. That the attempted ratification Of
the proposed fifteenth amendment to
the Federal Constitution by the radi-
cal members of the last Legislature, and
their refusal to submit the same to a
vote of the people, was deliberate
breach of their official duty and an
outrage upon every citizen of the State,
and the resolution making such ratifi-
cation. should be promptly repealed
and the amendment submitted to the
people at the polls for acceptance or re-
lection.
3. That the Democratic party of
Pennsylvania is opposed to conferring
upon the negro the right to vote, and
we do emphatically deny that there
is any right or power in Congress or
elsewhere to impose negro suffrage up
on the people of this State in opposi-
ton to their will.
4. That reform in the administration
of the federal and State governments,
and in the management OF their finan-
cial affairs is imperatively demanded.
5. That the movements now being
made for tie ameliorati0n of the con-
dition of the laboring man has our
most cordial cooperation.
6. That the legislation of the late re-
publican Congress "outside of the Con-
stitution," the disregard of the major
ity therein of the will Of the people and
sanctity of the ballot box, in the exclu-
sion from their seats in Congress OF
representatives clearly elected, the
establishment ofmilitary governments
in States in the Union and the O.
verthrow of all civil governments
therein, are acts of tyranny and usur-
patton that tend directly to the de-
struction of all republican government
and the creation of the worst forms OF
despotism.
4. That our soldiers and sailors, who
carried the flag of our country to victo-
ry must be gratefully remembered
and all the guarantees given in their
favor must be faithfully carried into
execution.
s. Equal rights and protection for
naturalized and native-born citizens
at home and abroad; the assertion oi
American nationality which shall
command the respect of foreign pow
ers and furnish an example an encour-
agement to people struggling for ma
tional integrity. constitutional liberty
and Individual rights.
9. That the present internal revenue
and taxing system of the general gov
ernment is grossly unjust, and means
ought at once to be adopted to cause a
modification thereof.
The report was accepted and unani'
mously adopted.

home, and what splendid time we
will have,n he smiled, knocked the
ashes off his cigar, and resolved of
course he would.
Jack went over, but there is no earth
ly use in our attempting to describe
the delectable things he enjoyed; it
was sugar season at that plantation,
sure.
Just before dusk, while Jack was
running over full of the occasion, in
rushes Laura's waiting woman with:
'Lor bress me, chin, eff yer amt
missus at de gate.n
my GCd, Dinah, what shall we do
with Jack ?'
"Pop him in de closet, Miss Laura
and Jack was popped in the closet in
twinkling.
In stocked the old lady, who sharply
scrutinized the disconnected and blush
ing countenance of Laura, felt sure that
Jack had been there.
"Come here, Laura. Now you can't
deceive me. That abominable Plaine
has been here, and you and he have
fixed upon runaway match, to come
off tonight; know, you see."
Laura was silent, and the old lady
continued.
but you will find that your mother
is no fool, and too sharp for you, my
lady. Sooner than have you marry
that miserable Jack Plaine, I'd see you
laid in your grave. He's not going to
squander my money, assure you."
The old lady rose, and going to a
clothes press, returned with several
comforterss and pillow.
Then walking up to the closet where
Jack was concealed, she threw them
in and said to Laura:
"Now march in here Miss, step a.
long; I'll look out that you don't see
that low-born mechanic this night"
Laura protested that she didn't want
to, declaring that her mother might be
sorry for it some day.
But, without paying any attention
her mother gave her push, shut the
door, and locked it, put the key in her
| pocket and went to bed.
Early in the morning the old lady
arose, and without waiting to dress,
took the key from her pocket, and o.
pened the closet door to bid Laura
come forth, gazed wildly for a mo-
ment, and uttered a most piercing
scream.
Recovering very rapidly, she started
away from the door and called family
to Laura.
Laura, dear, go into the kitchen
and see about breakfast
Then presently:
"Jack, say, Jack"
Jack came forth with son-in-law
looking air and answered
"Well, madam what is it ?"
''Do you know anything about
farm ?" said she.
Nothing to brag of, ma'am," said
Jack humbly.
'Well, at any rate, Jack, / think
that after breakfast you and Laura
may as well go down to the city and
get married, for Pm tired of watching
you, that's fact"

AN AWKWARD POSITION.

Out in Missouri lives Mrs. Hemp
dale, who has or had daughter nam
ed Laura, who loved man named
Jack. This man Jack the old lady
didn't like, butshe was informed by a
neiohhor that Jack and Laura had ar
ranged plan of elopement.
Her mind was quickly made up.
She announced to Laura the next
morning that she was going to Bell
willie on visit to be gone for three
days, and that she must be good girl
and not tear the house down when she
was gone.
That night Jack knew of it, as he
read the nice little note that babe him

These ports have foreign commerce of $780,
900, 900, and an enormous domestic trade, besides
which we have the immense internal commerce of
the Empire, radiating from these points, through
its canals and navigable rivers
The cable being laid, this company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means of communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else, the cOmmu-
nieatiOns of the Government, of business and of
social life especially in China. She has no postal
system, and her eniy means now of communicating
information is by couriers ON land, and oy steam

The Western World knows that China is a very
large country, in the main densely peopled but
few yet realize that she contains than third
of the human race. The latest returns made to
her central authorities for taxing purposes by the
local magistrate make her population Four hun
ared and Fourteen millions, and this is more
likely to be under than the actual aggregate.
Nearly ali Of these, who over ten years old,

ers and traders; and the latter are exceedingly
quick to avail themselves Of every profered facili
ty for procuring early information It is observed
in California that the Chinese make great use Of
the telegraph, though it there transmits messages
in English alone. To-day great numbers of feet
steamers are owned by Chinese merchants and
used by them exclusively for the transmission Of
early intelligence. If the telegraph we propose
connecting all their great seaports, were now in
