Ono DEMOCRATIC SENTIMENT.
We publish the platform adopted BY
the Democratic Stnto Convention of
the lst inst, in our noxt issue. 1t is
good enough as FAR as it goes, but it
falls short, and will utterly fail to ex-
cite the enthusiasm Of the musscs Of
the party. The controlling spirit of
the Convention was the spirit Of cow
ardice--thc spirit of "tho cat in the
adage." Tho resolution demanding
the taxation Of tho bonds of the Ame-
rican aristocracy by act of Congress,
can only bo likcned to the "Popo's
bull against the comet" 1t is n
sorry substitute for the grcenbacl,
theory, aud like that theory it will
come to naught. The platform
ignores tho practical situation, md
battles Democratic sentiment. The
people are crushed beneath the weight
of an unjust debt, and outraged by
ihfraction after infraction of thor
State prerogatives and local rights.
Tho natural and only Legitimate RENE
dies for these most grave abuses are,
therefore: For the debt, R"puda-
tion for the advancing despotism (as
