it from the obscurity of an old-fashioned
Democratic platform, and even to make it
rather creditable programme OF princi
pies.
If these same gentlemen had sooner
been ready to acknowledge that the thir-
tenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the Constitution of the United
States were fixed facts; to demand of the
rulers fair election for colored men, and
to urge upon the people the protection of
the colored man at the polls, there would
now be no occasion for saying that none of
the eighty thousand colored people of this
State could be induced to trust them, or
any fear that the Germans were about to
desert them in body.
The fifth declaration has no practical
meaning, and was not intended to have
any. 1t may therefore be left out in con-
sidering the action of the Convention.
Ifthese Conservatives will carry out their
programme in good faith, they will meet
with but little opposition from the Repub-
icans.
We look upon this movement, result
ing, as it has, in division in the Demo-
cratic party, as virtual surrender to the
principles of the Republicans. Some of
their late political brethren appear to view
it in the same light, for we find, as Sec
ond manifesto from this Convention, or,
at any rate, called out by its proceedings,
an address from the Democratic Central
Committee. This address is embodied in
the shape of resolutions, and declares:
l. The Democratic State Central Com
mittee announce with pleasure to all pat.
riotic citizens, the renewed activity and
energy of the Democratic party.

- Our contemporaries Of the Ea'
ton Register seem to have a very
poor opinion of whisky sellers and
whisky drinkers. Whether they are
right or wrong we leave our read
ers to judge, after they have read
the following extract which we
take from the Register Of last week :
GA liquor law has been reported
for the District Of Columbia, which,
if enforced, will make a great i'm
proyement in that liquor cursed
community. 1t Furnishes the sale
or the gift of Intoxicating liquors,
except for medical purposes by
druggists, with fine and imprisOn-
ment and enables the wife or chill
dred of those intoxicated to recov-
er damages. So it ought to be ev-
erywhere. A man who is able to
work, or bold enough to beg, or
sharp enough to steal, and who
will, with all his ability, spend all
his time behind a bar doing moth
ing but dealing out death and dis
grace to his neighbors, ought to
go to Jail and stay there until death
or reformation came. As there is
no crime half so great committed
on society as liquor selling, so there
is no punishment that is adequate
to meet its enormities. Whisky
sellers rob q thousand men where
highwaymen do one, and they rob
them much worse, They murder a
thousand where the assassin does
one, and that murder is a thousand
times fouler, poisoning and tainting
the good name of wife and children
forever. The boy whose father
dies by the assassin's hand, needs
not to blush; but he whose parent
dies Of delirium tremens or in a
drunken brawl will be panied with
the mentioning of that father as
long as life lasts. Oh! that the
people, all the people, sellers and
all, could realize the terrible enor-
nifty OF this death-dealing business,
and put it forever from their midst"

- A number of the Democratic
papers are not pleased with the
platform erected by the State Dem
ocratic Convention for thom to
stand upon during the next Fall
campaign. 1t is particularly de-
nunciatory, but it sets forth nc
great principles for the party to
rally around. 1t gives them nc
platform of State policy; it over
looks home matters entirely, and
runs off to the Capital Of the Unit
ed States. Probably those who
drafted the resolutions were gentle
men who had aspirations for hon
ors above mere State policy, oil
State interests, and thus lost sight
of interests close at home. They
were too small for the notice OF
gentlemen whose fingers have an
eternal itching to get into the great
National Treasury.

49, The Democrats, at their State
Convention at Columbus, accepted
a resolution in their platform dc
man6ing the repeal of the act OF
Congress for the enforcement OF
the 18th Amendment to the consti-
tuition. They say nothing about
the Amendment itself, but resolve
against the law for its enforcement.
They also demand the repeal of the
law authorizing the establishment
of national banks. They denounce
the efforts of the administration
to prevent tho raising of an
army of military force and furnish
ing implements of war to Organiza-
tions upon our own territory to as
sist rebels in a raid against govern
ments, with whom we are at peace,
and friendly relations. Their plat
form is of a denunciatory charac-
ter, nearly every plank of which
has the word denouace stamped up
on it.

DEATH OF A LITERARY MAN.
Charles Dickens died on the 9th, o.
Paralysis, at his residence at Gads-
hill near Rochestor, in Kent, Eng.
land. Mr.. d. had distinguished
himself as a pleasant and instruc.
tive writer. His writings are to be
found in almost every private libra
ry in the country. And perhaps at
this day, few writers have met with
more popular favor than the la
mented Charles Dickens.

Tho most remarkable death
ever recorded, occurred at Rome,
Ga, lately. A negro was working
beneath q bank of dirt; the dirt
broke off, fell on him, and crushed
him. His heart was shot out from
his body, and thrown to a distance
Of 90 feet (by measure) from him.
His lungs and liver were scattered
between him and his heart, and his
body was completely crushed by
the dirt. When the dirt was thrown
off, it was found that he was bro
ken all to pieces, His chest and
his stomach were rirted, and his
legs were shapeless masses. Ifa
bombshell had exploded between
his ribs his heart and entrails
could not have been thrown farther.

cured at Constantinople, in Tur-

ported that $500 persons were
burned and crushed to- death; tho
the reports are by no means of a

people, it is reported, being fatal
lists, supposed they were inevitably
doomed to be burned to-death in
that conaagration, and made no ef-
forts to escape from the flames, but
to the fate without an
effort to save themselves.

- Mr.. Chase occupies a very
curious position. Two parties
claim him-the slow Republicans
and the fast Democracy. Yet each
admits that his election by either
would destroy both. IF the De
mocracy take him that is the prac-
tical abandonment Of organized
Democracy. If the Republicans
take him, that is the destruction of
organized Radicalism. His cleo
ton would really overthrow all
parties and organize new ones.--

Behind Time.

A railroad train was rushing along at
almost lightning speed. A curve was just
ahead; and the train was late, very late;
still, the conductor hoped to pass the
curve safely. Suddenly a locomotive
dashed into sight. In an instant there
was q collision. A shrek, shock, and
fifty souls were in eternity; and all be-
cause an engineer had been behind time.
The battle of Waterloo was being
fought. Column after column had been
precipitated upon the enemy. The sun
was sinking in the West; reinforcements
for the defenders were already in sight;
it was necessary to carry the position
with one final charge. A powerful corps
had been summoned from across the
country. The great conqueror. confident
attacking column, and led them down
the hill. The whole world knows the re-
suit. Napoleon died prisoner at St. He
lena. because ono of his marshals was
behind time.
a condemned man was being led out
for execution. He had taken human life,
but under circumstances of the greatest
provocation. Thousands had signed pc
titions for reprieve; still none had ar
rived. The last moment was up. The
prisoner took his place on the drop-a
lifeless body swung in the wind. Just at
this moment q horseman came into sight,
his steed covered with foam. He was
the person with the reprieve. But lie
had come too late. A comparatively in
nocent man had died an ignominious
death, because q watch had been five mi
nutes two slow, making its time to arrive
behind lime.
It is continually 50 in life. The best
laid plans are daily sacrificed because
somebody is "bchind time" There are
men who always fail in what they under
take, simply because they are "behind
time" There are others who put off re-
formation year by year, till death seizes
them, and they perish nnrepentant, be-
cause forever ''behind time"
Reader, ask yourself seriously the ques-
tion, whether there is not some dapger
of your being among this GLASS? There
will be thousands of souls in the place of
woe because they put off the thought of
eternity till it was too late. Oh, it is
sad to think there will be some there for
this, who were once living amongst us!
God grant. friend, that it may not DO so
with you!
