Conflicting RumOrs in Regard 10 the
Situation I'm the Cabinet-A
Crisis Averted.
Full Text of President MaeMshOn's
Proclamation - He will Save
a- .ee the Republic from An
arcby.

LONDON, January ia special from
Paris rays that the Iumors in regard 10
the situation Of the ministry are various
and conflicting. 1t is asserted that all of
tho ministers will sign the proclaim alton.
Another report has it that NJ. Buffet is
alone prepared to sign it, and all who do
not sign today will be considered as re-
signing.
A Berlin telegram says that ii is re-
ported that Lord Derby hss notified
Austria that the British government has
unreservedly approved of Count Andrss-
says note on Turkey.
LONDON, January 13.-A special from
Paris says MscMshon's proclamation
has caused great sensation. The Lib
erals blame what they call MscMahon's
interference, and spprehensions are ex-
pressed that the fate OF the ministry ia
not yet decided. Further announce
ments, by official journals, are expected
tomorrow.
PARIS, January 13.-The cabinet in
council to-day reached an agreement
whe reby the threatened ministe rial
modification is averted. The council
viii recOnvere on Monday.
Tue Journal des Debdts asserts that
Leon Ssy remains q candidate fer the
senate in Seine ct Oiss, in the same dis
tTict as before.
The proclamation of President Mae
Mahon, cOunts signed by Buffet, was
publ shed to-day. In Ii The president
appeals for the supporter Law, ordtr and
good government AZ the coming gsntr al
election, and hopes the cnuntry will se-
cure the necessary r5St sfGer being torn
and distracted by agitation, discold d and
misfJrtune. He says il is known that
he dld not desire his present power, but
having been invested with It, France
could rely on his exercising il without
wesknes. He hopes that God will aid
him and his cabinet, aud that the luo-
pCrs Of the nation will 10. fail him liz
the fulfillment CT his mission, The
president also says he thinks the coun-
iry's institutions ought not t0 be revised
before they srs honestly tried. The con-
strvative and truly liberal policy which
he always intended to pursue should
prevail.
Tle following is the text of MscMa-
hons proclamation, published to-day /:
FRESCHMEN-F0r the first time in
five year, you are called upon to psrtici-
pats IN general election Five years

DEMOCRATIC.
Platform of the New Hampshire State
Democratic COnVentiOn-Broad,
Liberal and Generous.

CONCORD, January l2.-The platform
adopted by the Democratic State con-
vention recognizes as final the settle
ment Of the issues involved in the late
wsr aud the binding force of the consti-
| tutiOnal amendments. It fsvors a re-
turn to specie payment, reform of ali
abuses ia state and national admins
tratioDs, retreDchment and economy in
public expenditures, equal and just tsx-
alton and tariff for revenue only, and
approves the present movement in be-
half Of temperance as designed to pro-
mote very desirable end by the most
proper and effective meRns. The reso.
luiiODs upon the school question and
third term are as follows:
Resolved, That our iLestimsble sys-
tenn OF common schools, and our no less
valu. .ble scheme Of religious liberation,
are the workmanship OF Democratic
hands and the fruit OF Democratic poll
cy; that ii is the exclusive right Snd
duty Cf the State TO provide for the edu-
cation OF It's children; that it is the ina-
liensble rjgh. OF every citizen to wor-
ship God ST c0rding tn the dictates OF
his own conscience, and that no politi-
cal disabilities should be incurred by
reason OF ReligiOus belief; and while we
| VIII deleDu these pnaclples and lnstltu-
tions to the fullest extent, we depre-
cate sll attempts to raise sectarian Issues
in politics as utterly uncalled for aud
reprehensible, and meriting the EN-.
phatic condemnation Of every good cit.
izen.
Reso' 'ped, That while the illustrious
example Of the spirit Of our institutions
are alike opposed to third Presidential
term, the present chief executive, by
using the great trusts Incident to his
Office for personal and family aggran-
( dizement, and by interfering with the
course CT public Justice toward defraud.

cause it is party, but because it is right.
When it is wrong, do your best to set it
right; and if you fail in that. then bolt your
party and beat it. AS spirit is better than
form; as the brain, the heart, the soul, and
not the body, are the man, so the ideas and
purposes of Government for which politi-
ical party is organized are, in its best sense,
the party. So long az the organization
sustains and gives practical, honest and eff
cient expression to those ideas, it has just
and binding claims upon such citizens as
sincerely believe in such ideas. But when
it dscards and rejects them, or when it
seeks to make them only a rallying cry for
the unwary, that its ambitious leaders may
get victory for merely selfish ends, when
party has outlived purity, it has outlived
usefulness, and being dead, ought to be
hurled -
Wilmington daily commercial., 1876-06-29

But there are material changes in other
respects. In 1874 there was strong liberal
republican elem mt in the politics of the
State, the relics of the Greeley movement of
1872 This element was courted by giving
a liberal republican the nomination for
Lieutenant Governor aud i'll various other
ways. The liberal republicans accept the
nomil alton OF Hayes and seem glad of an
excuse for resuming their old party con-
nections. Mr.. Fenton, who sympathized
with and abetted the liberals two years ago,
will give Hayes a cordial, active support
Senator Oonkling, who, from motives very
different from those of the liberal repub
licans, was cold toward Governor Dix
when he was running against Tilden,
will exert himself with all his power
and efficiency in this years election
The temperance party, which consists al
most entirely of Republicans, will all vote
for Hayes, whereas in 1874 they cast near
Iy twelve thousand votes for their own can
didate for Governor, and weakened Gener-
al Dix to that extent. For these various
reasons the Republican party of New York
will be stronger and more formidable in the
coming election than it was in 1874, when
Governor Tilden was borne into office on
the "tidal wave," and General Dix was
weakened by dissensions and lukewarmness
in his own party.
The contest will be so close that the
Democrats cannot afford to go into it Grip
pied and weakened by dissensions or cold
ness in their own ranks. Some other can
didate would be more likely than Governor
Tilden to restore harmony and inspire en-
thusiasm in the New York Democracy,
With any candidate the quarrel between
the Tammany and anti-Tammany factions
would, indeed, go on and be carried into
the State Convention, but with the great
difference that the nomination for the Pres
idency would be in no way involved in it OF
weakened by it. Both factions would sup.
port the Presidential candidate with equal
zeal if he were anybody but Tilden; but
with Tilden in the field one Of the factions
would be as hostile to him as to its imme
date opponents. Whether MIR. Tilden't
| great reputation as reformer would coun
| terbalance this source Of weakness is 6
problem which only time can solve, but the
great falling off in the democratic vote Of
the State last year, when his reform record
was as bright as it is now, may justify
doubts. 1t is certain that no democratic
candidate,will have any strength to spare il
this State, and that, unless the confidence
Governor Tilden has inspired as reformei
would overbalance the personal hostility h'
has incurred, the party will not be strength
ened by his nomination.
