The New York Ue1uM contains .his
last notice of the late Col. Fisk:
The closing scenes of the Fisk TRACE
dy among Us have taken place and New
York will know the Erie Prince no
more. Yesterday morning. at half.pnst
eleven O'Clock, the gorgeous rosewood
coffin, with gold-plated handles, con-
tanning the mortal remains of 5amc,
Fisk, were brought through a sureing
crowd to Ire in state ut the Eric Office
for an hour or two. Prayers were said
over the body, dcckcd out in colonies
uniform, by the same chaplain who
prayed beside the living Fisk when Bos-
ton forced him and his regiment to be
pious in n theatre or 20 without spi. ilu-
al consolation fora whole Sabbath. The
crowd surgcd in and walked past the
bier on which the dead man Law, and at
a quarter to two the coffin was carried
into the hcarSc. Then the funeral pro-
ccs,ion formed, Ninth regiment band at
the head, Erie employees following. and
the Ninth regiment looking sad and de.
pressed, for all its tincry: then the
hcarsc, with the late Noloncl's charger
in the rear; then the long line of car
riagcs. At three O'Clock the gorgeous
collin was being ratified away to Brat
,lcboro, among the Green Mountains.
Soendcth another cventful lesson.

THE BOURBON RESOLUTIONS.
THE PLATFORM.

The following is the platform
adopted by the Louisville conven-
ton.
WHEREAS, A frequent recurrence
to first principles and eternal vigil
lance against abuses are the wisest
provisions for liberty, which is the
source of progress, and fidelity to
our constitutional system is the only
protection for either: therefore,
Resoloed, That the original basis
of our whole political structure is
the consent, in every part thereof, of
the people of each State, who vol
UNFAIRLY created their State, and the
States voluntarily formed the Union.
Each State provided, by its written
constitution, for everything State
should do for the protection of life,
liberty and property within it, and
each State Jointly with the others
provided a federal union for for
eign and Interstate relations.
RESOLVED, That all governmental
powers, whether State or federal,
are trust powers, coming from the
people of each State, and that they
are limited to the written letter OF
the constitution and the laws passed
in pursuance of it, which powers
must be exercised in the utmost
good faith-the constitution itself
providing in what manner they may
be altered or amended.
Resolved, That the interests oil
labor and capital should not be per-
mitted to conflict, but should be
harmonized by judicious legislation
and while such a conflict continues
labor, which is the parent of. wealth
is entitled to paramount consider
alton.
Resolved, That we proclaim tc
the world that principle is to be
preferred to power; that the Dem
Ocratic party is held together by thu
cohesion of tme-honored principle
they will never surrender in ex
change for ali the Offices the Presi
dent can confer. The pangs o
minorities are doubtless excruciat
ing, but we welcome an eternal mi
nority under the banner inscribed
with our principles, rather than al
almighty and everlasting majority
purchased by their abandonment.
| Resolved, That having been be
trayed at Baltimore, into q falls
creed and a false leadership, by thu
convention, we repudiate both, an(
appeal to the people to approve ou
platform, and to rally to the poll
and support the true platform ant
candidates who embody it.
