Tho Radical Platform.

rhe Radical Convention, which met at Dover
Wednesday, adopted q long series Of rssolu-
N, which arc more remarkable for their want
truth and candor than for any thing else, Their
,datiou Of Grant and his administration ia full
me in the extreme, and when it is known that
"a ablest men in the ranks Of the Radicals have
denounced the Administration a failure, it is
beer rockies sness in men holding any regard for
,nsistency and character to attempt to thus i'm
lose upon the intelligence Of the people
It is VIGOROUSLY false that tour present statutes
|or the collection Of debts" permit the "ast dol
ara worth OF property" to "be seized and soid.'
Every debtor is allowed an exemption ct 500
by .our statutes for the collection Of debts
Some years ago the Democrats passed this bill
khrough our Legislature exempting also $lOO worth
bf household goods from seizure for rent. But it
|xas found that no poor man could rent house
unless he paid rent in advance or gave security,
and many gentlemen who are now in the Radical
party, interested themselves to have 30 much 81
this law as applied to rent repealed. These gem
tlsmen and also many poor men petitioned the
Legislature which finally granted the prayer ur
gently made to them from this city. The Law
was found to destroy the credit Of the poor an'
IS rs-enactment has never hesa sought since.
Equally unjust and untrathfui is the Radica
resolution which stigmatzes the Representative
pf the Democratic party as being opposed to i'm
provements in our school system. Their oppos
lion is to subjecting the schools to the manageme,
bf Radical politicians. who, to retain the votes {
the negroes, would reduce our schools to the lew
of the mixed schools IN the South, rendering thel
three-fold more expensive and yet not as efiicie'
in the education OF the white children, whose p'
rents now pay all the school taxes.
