The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1876-06-30

Times contained an editorial article remonstrat-
ing against the nomination OF Samuel j. Til
den, by the st. Louis convention. The Times
said that such action would be dangerous
blunder for the democratic party nasmuch as
it would be practical endorsement Of dIsloy-
atty. II proceedes to arraign Mr.. Tilden as
follows:
The fact that Mr. S. j. Tilden was chairman
OF the platform committee OF the Chicago con-
vention in 1854, which put forth the famous
"peace platform, pronouncing the war fail
ure, and demanding an immediate cessation Of
hostiliries, seems to have been strangely forgot
ten by the Northern politicians who propose to
present him as q Presidential candidate at ST.
Louis. 1t is best that that fact should be re-
called before the entrance upon programme
80 stupid; for 1t would certainly not lack plenty
OF advertising after the taking OF the proposed
step.
We copy from the record Of the Democratic
National Convention Of 1864 as follows:
"Mr. Tilden, OF New York, offered the follow
ing resolution:
a" Resolved, That committee of one dele
gate from each State, to be selected by the del
egation thereof. be appointed to report resolu-
tons, and that all resolutions in relation 10 a
platform for the Democratic party be referred
TO said committee, without debate"
The resolution was adopted and the COM
mttee appointed as follows:
Maine-John W. Dana.
New Hampshire-Edwln Pease.
Connecticut-Charles r. Ingersoll.
Rhode Island-Charles S. Bradley
sachusetts-George Lunt.

The platform reported by the committee con
sisted OF six resolutions. The first one was
declaration or answering fidelity to the
Union under the Constitution" The second
one was in the following words, namely:
{" RESOLVED, That this convention does OK
plicity declare, as the sense OF the American
people, that after FOUR YEARS OF FAILURE to re-
store the Union by the experiment of wAr-dur
Ing which. under the pretense OF military ne
cessity or wal power higher then the Constitu
ton, the Constitution itself has been disregard
ed in every part, and public liberty and prvat,
right alike trodden down, and the materia
prosperity OF the country essentially impaired
justice, humanity, liberty and the public vel
fare demand that IMMEDIATE EFFORTS BIZ MADI
FOR CESSATION OF HosTILITIEs. with q view
to An ultimate convention of the States. OF
other peaceable means, TO the end that at tn,
earliest practicable moment peace may be re
stored on the basis OF the Federal States"
Every ono OF the six resolutions was in rela
ton to the war; but mono had any great pohti
cal significance, or gave any positive indication
Of political party, excepting the second one
the famous peace resolution reproducet
above.
The fact that Mr.. Tilden was the foremos
member OF the committee which brought fortl
the burial platform Of the Democratic part
would not seem to encourage any REASONABLE
expectations OF his election to the Preeidenc,
against such man a. Governor Hayes.
