The Philadelphia patriots are beginning
to worry little about the platform of the
great and indivisible Republican party,
and suggestions pour in from all sides
Henry Ward Beecher says, in his review
Of Mr.. Greeley's letter of acceptance
MIR. Greeley begins with the declara-
ton that all the political rights and fran
chises secured by the late war should be
maintained inviolatc, and that those
rights which were lost through the war
should be promptly re-established. This
seems TO us n happy statement Of the doc.
trine of impartial suffrage and universal
amnesty, which Mr.. Greeley, in common
with large section of the republican
party, has long advocated. 1t is excelen,
doctrine, and ought 20 prevail. We hold
tho Philadelphia convention bound, in
patriotism and in wisdom, ~ take the
same ground. If it shall culpably fail to
do SO, the opposition will have here one
genuine advantage in point of principle

u grand artist, but he was enough one to
save us from ridicule. The job was given
to Mr.. Powell. General Schenck did that.
The general probably did not know one
picture from another, but Mr. Powell was
his constituent, and he believed, as did
Schenck, that something in the way of
art should be done for the Miami bottoms,
SO he worked at it till he got the commits

Morse was a faithful teacher, and took as

two per cent. In Texas the cost IL oven

twenty.three per cent, and in New York less
than three. These carpet-bsggcrs arc very
expensive, not only to the southern people,
but to the nation. It costs more to collect
