For centralized power" the Platform
proposes the sacred maintenance of the
right of local selfgovernment for the
maintenance of the rights of the people of
the States-the supremacy of the civil
over the military authority and free
dom of person under protection of Ha-
g beas Corpus" And it claims for I" the
individual the largest liberty consistent
8. with public order-for the State self
government-and a return to the
. methods of peace and the constitutional
Limitations of power" The interpreta-
ton of these terms is furnished in their
application to the measures of the Ad-
ministration in its tyranical intermed-
ding with the chartered rights of the
Southern States and the citizens thereof,
who happen to be victims of Radical re-
venge and oppression.
We know of no persons in the South,
who, however strongly they may have
opposed the so-called constitutional
amendments and deprecated the unfair
and illegal method of their adoption,
propose to make their overthrow an issue
in the canvass. As sensible men, even
If they have regarded them or any one of
them, with unfriendly eye, they must
see that they have become part of the
organic law, and that nothing short of an
unattainable revolution can accomplish
their removal. They are settled issues
and their consideration can properly
have no place in the canvass further
than declaration to that effect.
The revolution on the subject of taxa
ton accords fully with our view of what
justice and sound policy require Under
the practise of the Administration. and
of the governments which are upheld by
its bayonets, taxes have been levied for
the benefit of classes and rings to the
detriment of the industry of the masses.
That differences of opinion exist on the
subject of the Tariff among the Liberal
Republicans themselves, and among
those who are in accord with them on
the main objects proposed to be accom-
plished by the independent movement,
is unquestionable but like sensible men
having paramount object in view they
have agreed TO disagree on that question
and to remit it to the people to determine
in the election of members of Congress.
We do not think we are in error when we
ascribe to the people of Mississippi a mo-
tive higher in the present national con-
test than the mere settlement of such
economic questions as the regulation of
the Tariff.
The present opposition to Radical
Carpet Bag domination in this State, is
made up of Old Line Wings and Old
Line Democrats, who in former times
differed on that question-and of young
men who have come on the stage of ac-
ton since it was agitated-and it would

Speech of Carl Schurz,
President of the
Convention.

NOBODY can survey this vast and enthusi-
astlc assembly, gathered from all parts OF
the republic, without an emotion of aston
ishment and hope-astonisment in consid-
erlng the spontaneity OF the impulse which
has brought it together. and hope in con-
slderlng the great purpose for which il has
met. The republic may well congratulate
itself upon the fact that such a meeting was
possible. Look at the circumstances from
which it has sprung. We saw the Ameri-
can people. just issued from a great and
successful struggle, and i'm the full pride of
their national strength. threatened with
new evils and dangers of an insidious ma
ture, and the masses of the population ap-
parently not aware of them. We saw
JoBBERY AND CORRUPTION,

portunities of a protracted civil war

of the social body; and we saw public

sharp Practice of the Buck.Eye
Governor.

If we had not been prepared for al
most anything in the way of sharpe
practice by the acting Governor after the
revelation of the Contingent Fund dis
bursements, we would confess to no little
astonishment at transaction which is
related by our Yazoo City eotemporaries.
The Democrat characterizes it with soft
words in describing it ''as a miserable,
disgraceful piece of brokerage" on the
part of that functionary. The circum-
stances, as related by the Democrat, are

Islature and passed, making a reward of
$3.50 to two citizens of Yazoo county.

objects of the Independent Republican
movement which has just eliminated in

Their revolt itself against the Admin
