NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CON.
VENTION.

The National Democratic Convention as
sembled in St. Louis, Mo-, and organized on
Tuesday last. On Wednesday the Convcn>
tion adopted a platform of principles and NOM
mated on the second ballot Gov. Samuel j.
Tilden, of New York, as the Democratic can
didate for President of the United States
The keynote of the platform is a demand for
thorough reform in the administration of pub
lie affairs 1t arraigns the republican party
for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., corruption in Off e and
imbccility in its treatment of tho question of
finance. The Republican and the Democratic
platforms both favor a return to specie paw
ments, but the Democratic platform declares
it cannot be reached by the clause in the re-
sumption act of 1871, but only by economy
in the use of public money and a wise fnan~
cial system. 1t reafirms the principle of a
total separation of church and State, while it
d%enounces the attempt to fomeut religious
strife in respect to the public schools, which
it declares to be under the control of the sew.
eral States exclusively.
The Convention concluded its labors on
Thursday by the unanimous nomination of
Gov. Thos. a. Hendricks, of Indiana, for the
Vice>Presidency.

JULY 4FH, ~l776-l876.

To-day completes the first century of our
national existence. What a fund of historic
memories does the very sentence call up
Who can refrain from going back to Inde-
pendence Hall in Philadelphia, and in imag-
ination conjuripg up the pregnant scene there
enacted July 4th, 1776, when after three
days of hot and anxious debate, the Conti>
mental Congress adopted the Declaration of
Independence, by which thirteen weak and
struggling colonies scattered along the At
lantic coast, reDounced their allegiance to the
foremost power of the world and assumed to
be free and independent States.
This solemn step was not taken in a burst
of passion, nor without protracted and anxious
deliberation, or while any hope of an honor
able and fair adjustment of the difficulties
with England remained. More than a year
had passed since the first blood was shed at
Lexington. More than a year had passed
since the troops gathered around Boston had
been adopted as the Continental Army, and a
young Virginia Colonel, by the unanimous
vote of Congress, had been made their Cons
mander-in-Chief. Every effort at pacifca>
tion, every effort at compromise without loss
of liberty and honor had failed, and naught
was now left but to invoke the protection OF
Providence and appeal to the God of battles.
Brave and wise old patriots. Their names
deserve to be transmitted in honor to the end
of time, for they wrote the noblest chapter in
human history. Not only by the boldncss OF
their actions but by the wisdom of their
counsel. Gathering from the plantations and
forests of Virginia, from the villages and
hamlets of Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania and
New York, strangers to each other, but each
one bearing in his bosom the stout heart of a
Saxon freeman, they issued a series of State
papers, whether in justification of their
course or in defence Of their rights, that re-
main unequalled in the annals of statcsman-
ship and of eloquence. "There is nothing
in Therybides like it," exclaimed Lord Chat.
ham "fOr lofty eloquence, ssgacity ofreason,
ing and force of conclusion, l know not whore
in history to find an equal to the State papers
of the Congress ut Philadelphia" How can
We better rescue our nation from the dangers
that now threaten, and the disgraces that
daily put us to shame, than by drinking deeply
Of their wisdom, and initiating their high and
unselfsh devotion.

TILDEN M

We give to the breeze in his issue the
Democratic banner inscribed with the names
ofSamuelJ J. Tilden for President, and Thomas
A. Hendricks for Vice>President of the
United States. One of these names, as our
readers are aware, has been at our masthead
for more than six months, as our first choice
for the highest place on the ticket. In
obedience to the will of the majority of the
national convention, fairly and ~overwhelm,
ingly expressed, we give place to Governor
Tilden, and relegate our own choice to q
position equally honorable, and only second
in responsibility. AS this paper was the first
in the Union to raise the standard of Hen
bricks, so it will not be found the last to fol-
low his W patriotic and noble example, by
giving in q warm and unqualified adhesion to
his successful competitor.
Never in the history of the party was there
q stronger combination. The greatest leader
of Reform in the East, is to be seconded BY
the result of a reduction of taxation, and a
retrenchment of the cxtravagant expendi-
lures of the Government. And this is the
platform which both to-day occupy. The
folly of those propagandists who talk about
''hard>money victories" or 'ssoft-money"
defeats, finds no echo in the breasts of such
men as Tilden and Hendricks. They might
differ in the details of legislation, but not in
the general scope of national policy. The
name of one in the East, and of the other in
the West, is SYNONYMOUS with retrenchment,
economy, purity, and reform-and without
these, all legislation would be worse than use
less. You can not cure q congestion of the
lungs by sewing up the mouth, or opening an
artery you must remove the cause of disease.
So the hemorrhage of our national resources,
which dePreciates our currency and impov>
erlshes the people, must be cured by a reduc>
tIon of salaries, and a return to the economy
and simplicity of the fathers of the republic.
OF this primary truth, TiIden and Hendricks,
no less distinguished Reform leader of the
West-New York and Indiana-after an
earnestly contested rivalry, join hands. To
the South both men are equally acceptable.
Both have labored long and earnestly for
Pacifcasion upon the constitutional basis of
State equality, and self-government. During
the war it is worthy of remark, that the olive
branch Of peace which Tilden vainly strug>
gled to extend to the South, Hendricks ten
dered in the West. Both were then, what
they now aro-wise, conservative, and patri-
otto. Aud We venture the remark further,
that there is no material difference in their
views upon the less important question of the
currency of the country. BY a comparison
OF that mastery State>paper last addressed
BY Tilden as q message to the New York leg
%iSlature, with the speech of Hendricks in the
Ohio campaign, the essential coincidence of
their views will be made manifest. Neither
Is a eontractionist, though both look to a
gradual and healthy return to specie payment,
as the natural are to-day the incarnation for
the American people.

it has occurred otherwise the election of
Judge Raymond might possibly be invali-
dated.

G" Those indiscreet newspapers and cor
respondents who have abused, with indiscrim.
mate ~censure, those delegates from New York,
headed by such men as Church, Pryor and
Kelly, who honestly opposed the nomination
of Tilden, have grossly misrepresented the
true causes of that dissension, now SO happily
removed. John Kelly was engaged in the
same work of Reform in tho city of New
York. which Tilden so earnestly pressed
forward in the State. He supposed he had a
right to a moro cordial and positive co-opera.

opinion, and not the slightest occasion for all
the vindictiyc ccnsurc of which We have
spoken above. No sooner was Tilden nomi-
mated, than Tammany gave in its adhesion,

Hendricks to waive all personal feelings and
