THE TRUE Policy. The ST. Clair
Republican has the following sensible re-
marks touching the duty of abiding by
party nominations:
''The decision of convention should
bind all who participate in its proceed
ings. unless possibly in some extreme
cases. 1t is an obligation of honor that
lies at the very existence of party.
Without it there can be no united effort,
and therefore no victory. Unless for
notorious incompetency, every detea'e ed
aspirant. as well as his friends, should
only redouble their exertions to secure
the election of the nominees. 1t is the
time that shows the principle whicbsani-
mates, in distinction from personal ag-
yrandizement. Let it De unlerst TODD that
whatsoever is nominated shall receive a
united and hearty support, and let there
be no growing, for if there is one thing
more despieable than another it is blat

A GOOD PLATFORM.

Senator Trumbull delivered speech
Mt Springfield, upon the political questions
of the times, which Has heard by large
audience, and elected unusal applause.
Having briefly referred to the difference
between the country now, when freedom
is everywhere the rule and the source of
national prosperity, and few years ago
slavery dominated and dishonored our
politics, the Senator proceeded to discuss
the financial subjects in which the peo-
Pile are now so materially interested, -
Upon the subject of the national debt,
Senator Trumbull was most emphatic.
Does any one, he inquired. begrudge the
fine paid for liberty and Union? If so,
let him stand forth, and let the people
see the man who would betray liberty for
dollars and sell his country for price
Does any one, he further asked, propose
to repudlate the debt? If so, let him
stand forth, and let the people see the
man who for gain would tarnish his coun-
try's honor. and let him take the word
cheat upon his forehead and the stain
Of diShonor upon his soul.
His discussion of the tariff was brief,
but intelligent, i0rclble, and sound. The
point in his speech. however, TO which
we desire to call special attention is his
treatment Of the currency and banking
questions. He declares that the system
of National Banks is not only the best
we ever had but that, its privileges made
free, it would supply the country with
currency everywhere the same, and. upon
the whole, better than government green
hacks. The establishments Of free Ma
tlonal Banks would at once close the prob |
lem of our national finances we could
turd the Debt at per cent. interest ; |
specie payments would be resumed at
the earliest moment practicable, without
unnecessary strain on the business of the |
country.
There can be no doubt that the Repub-
lican party will substantially adopt pol
icy OF finance, embracing the main ideas |
advocated in this speech. The subject
Is enc upon which there have been con-
fiicting ideas, but more, we think, as to |
details than principles The main points
in the policy are
l. Economy in administration.
>. The invioable integrity Of the ma
tional debt
3. Reduction oftaxation both by inter-
nal revenue and tariffs.
4. An Improvement in the system of |
National Banks, making it free.
s. Funding the debt at low rate of
interest.
The policy of which these are the main
points has already been agreed upon by |
the representatives Of the people. Some |
improvements as to details are yet neces-
sary. These made, the Republican par
ty will receive the appreciation Of the
country for services in these practical
matters n, less hearty and generous than |
that which was accorded for its invaluable |
services in saving the nation from the |
formidable attacks of traitors In arms and |
Democrats IN sympathy.

ADDITIONAL INCIDENTS

During the prevalence of the storm on
the morning of the Sth the waters of the
bay suddenly receded, and left it dry for
several minutes. An aurora horealis,
which covered nearly the whole sky, was
seen for ten minutes on the preceding
night. Here, as through rany other
cities of the Island, wharves ana depots
have been levelled with the ground, and
the sugar houses and cane-6elds of the
neighborhood have been almost totally
inundated.

Matanzas suffered more in loss of life
than any other place on the island Here
the humiliation of the Peublo Nnevo
Ward, bounded by the bay: the San Juan

door of every family within its limits.
More than four hundred dead bodies have
been recovered, and the end of the find
ing is not yet. A passenger train from
Havana arrived at the depot of the Ha-
vana and Matanzas railroad, situate in
this ward, just before the overflow took
place Depot, engine, train, passengers,
employes-all disappeared in the flood.
Guines, a town located on a level sec
ton between this and Matanzas was in
undated by the torrents of rain, many
buildings were blown down, and some of
the inhabitants severely injured. The
Jurisdiction of Colon felt the force Of the
tornado also. Here much damage was
done to the growing cane, much of it be-
ing torn out of the ground by the roots
by the mere force of the wind, The
cane most backward for the season was
