CINCINNATI AND BALTIMORE Plat.
FORM.


On oar first page to-day, we publish The
platform and principles laid down by the
Liberal Republican Convention held at Gin
cinnati in May last, and re-adoped by the
National Democratic Convention at Baltimore
on the tenth of this month. If it is not q
second Declaration of Independence it re-
asserts all the great truths, so far as apple
able to the country, Of that great, memora-
bic, everything document which laid the
Foundations of all the blessings which Amer
leans have since enjoyed. The usurpations
peculaionF, Wrupiions and tyrannlos Of
Grants adm,'a'lat' on drove from him the
great, pure 'hd patriotic statesmen of the
Republican party, followed and backed
by the flower, honest and intelligent masses
IF that organization, they held great
National Convention at Cincinnati on the
first day of May last, and put forth this
formidable Indictment against Grant and his
drivers, renonncing him and his viIlianous
acts forever. The platform was framed TO
TO meet the sanction and find response in
every patriotic heart in America, save only
those who are claimed, fettered and bound
irrevocably 10 the beasty Car of Grant and
his confederates. The Democracy had said
in act, deed and voice, from every section of
the Union, TO these men who were going to
Cincinnati, "Give us a noble and patriotic
platform, and able and honest men for can
didates and we will join you in the great
struggle TO give America once more a free,
pure and honest republican gover mon'. J"
Read the platform, and answer if they did
not keep the faith and present document
all freemen should be proud Of II was pre-
sented to us, and by the represented voice Of
three million organized Democratic voters
unanimously indoreed at Baltimore. Thus
he union between The Liberal Republicans,
Democrats and all opposed to the blighting
curse of Grants administration was signed
md sealed on the basis Of the doctrines Of tie
Cincinnati platform. TO this agreement every
Liberal Republican and every Democrat in
America is honorably bound. We hail the
PRONUNCIATION Of this platform, and the union
ofall just, pure and honest men underit, ,as an
individual and public blessing to all men of
al parties 1t will bring victory TO the just,
vanquishmcnt to the vile, honor to the ma
lion and exile politically to its plunlerers;
liberty, law and justice to all men, and mis-
ons to Tie culprita. In such cause who
can hesitate We could fill our columns with
the names of the great liberal statesmen Of
the Republican party who have gone forth
to do battle in this great cause of the people,
and we can count the Democrats on our fin
=2rs that refuse to aid the noble movement.
We regard the battle as won by the people,
and Greelevs election as certain, but shall
keep on pohing the foul ,putril record Of the
present administration in the noses Of its ad-
herents, and shaking the dry bones of its
.tnking dead clrcass around the ears Of
Grants ;hieving cabal until the votes are
counted in November ncxt.

ScALLAwAG is the name given in the
South TO long-nosed, lean, lank, hungry
thieving, roofing, breachy, woods hog, and
when they want to describe native South
crner who has AL the characteristics of this
hog, they simply call him csc c'llawag,
and that tells every one tie sort Of a man he
is This is the class of native SoutEerner'
who are now supporting Grant. These kinc
of hogs can be toled into pens with corn anC
kept there if they are well fed, but just le
the corn run out and no pen can be bull
that will hold them, as they will root, clint
or eat out. Just so with Grants scallawags
lie can tole them into lis pen with green
backs, but the moment this fodder fails they
are off. YOU get the old SOW some of the
shoats generally follow, especially the black
ones. Grant has caught few of these ole
eows, such as Longstreet, Clayton, Mosehy
Seattle, etc, but the treasury must sutfu
heavy robbery to funish grcenback food io'
these scaawag sows and shoats till after he
Presidential election. This is the compan,
that respectable northern Republicans mus
keep if they support Grant

BUYING IHEM UP.

Some days ago the telegraph told us that
General Porter, Grants chief Of the corrup-
ton military ring, had in lis possession the
names of many leading Democrats that had
greed to stump for Grant, anl would make
them public in a few days Later We are
told Porter declines to make the names Of
ihesc purchased scoundrels public. From
his we infer that Grants thieves haye es-
tablished bribery bureau at Washington,
md that Porter is at the head cf it. The
minions of the otfice-holders are 10 pump, and
then send in the names of Greeley stumpers
that can be bought, with an estimate of their
value in the campaign il they turn and go
ior Grant When a party is found that will
suit, and the price is not above their value,
Boutwell, is ordered to rob the treasury foi
money and The bargain is sealed. The idea
that induced Porter to suppress the names
of these villains must have sprurg from the
fact that second thought convinced him if
there names were known in advance Their
yilhiny would also he known TO the public,
and their influence be lost. The English
government bought Arnold and put him in a
command, but 1.-THE British soldiers despised him
50 that they refused to obey him. Arnold's
treason aroused the Indignation of the Amer
cans, and thus added greatly to their cause.
The result will be the same with Grant
bought Democratic stumpers. Why even
one of Grants most sickly sucklngs would
rebel against listening to Il speech from one
of these bought traitors, let alone decent
men. If you hear of Democrat going to
make speeches for Grant set him down as a
his body to Grant and his soul TO the devil

HOW IT WORKS.

An old, able and prominent KepuOIcah'
and prior to that party's existence, W hlS'
but who has been feeling uneasy, dissa'lsneo
and disgusted with the Gorham ring, ana
Grants dishonesty or imbeclity for some
time. called on us this week and announced
that he was done with the whole rotten
crew, and is now for Greeley and Brown
Said be, have taken and read the Sacra-
mento Union for twenty years, and it has
taught me that Grants administration IS the
most venal, corrupt and imbecile that ever
held sway in this country, and while it may
90 back into the filthy kennel and eat its
words and Gorllam dirt | will choose decent
company and support Greeley. This gen
tleman thinks the Union has made one OF
two things plain: one is that Grant Is as big
a thief as those who surround him, or that
he IS an imbecle who must continue TO be
used ty his corrupt ring if reelected for
four years more, by which time there would
be nothing left that was worth stealing.
The Union editors and all their readers
know that if Grant is reelected the same
ring that has controlled him will continue to
control him while he is in power, and while
they are supporting him they are working
for the thieves they are exposing and
abusing. This gentlemm ia an old news
paper publisher and though he has been out
Of the business and in this county for nearly
twcpty-three years, he i-sists that the
Union editors either lack capacity, discern
ment or honesty. Our old friends head is
level, and he will have many companions in
this campaign.

The National Bureau Of Education issues it's
50 Circular of information Of the Bureau Of Edu-
cation for March, 1872, p" six months after date.
It contains three papers, not one Of which is Of
any present or future, practical or theoretical,
value in the elucidation of the educational
problems of the day. Their titles are: 81. An
inquiry concerning the vital statistics Of col
lege graduates. 2. Distribution of college
students in 1901. 8. Facts Of vital statistics
in the United States, with tables and diagrams.'
The first paper is based wholly upon the records
OF four colleges out of the 363 in the United
States. one-ninetieth Of the number. The last
is eimply-a Encouragement Of facts from the
various censuses which hare been taken. The i'm
beciity of the papers is hopeless, and it may not
inappropriately be asked, Who Will educate the
Bureau Of Education? Here is sample OF the
statistical information which the circular so
laboriously gives:
these colleges we find that than twice many
were born in Massachusetts in Connecticut; that
New Hampshire produced more than Connecticut; !;
that about fre-se7enths Of the whole number were
York. Four men born in Connecticut went to Har-
4ard ind to Dartmouth while e54 born In Ma9sa-
chusetts, and 81 born in New Hampshire, went to
Yale: 81 New Hampshire men went to Harvard and
Q0o Massachusetts went to Dartmouth and about
II per cent Of those born in Vermont to Dartmouth.
The truth is, the Government has no business
to assume such functions. There is not q first
class newspaper in the country that cannot, and
does not, do more for the diffusion OF educa-
tional information than this Washington Bureau
will ever accomplish.
