pEMocEaTIC PLATFORM.
We, the delegates of the Democratic
/ uarty of the United States, in National
Convention assembled, do hereby de
clare the administration Of the Fed
eral Government TO be III urgent noed
/ Of immediate reform; DO hereby en-
| ioin upon the nominees OF this conven-
| lion, and OF tine Democratic party IN
| each State, Il Jealous effort ami cooper
! alton 10 this end; ana DO hereby appeal
! ia orr le,low-citizens of every former
nautical connection to undertake with
| US this first and most pressing patrlotic
duty. For the Democrats OF the whole
! country we here rcai!irIn oar latin i'll
| the rcrnlaneucy Of The Federal Union,
our devotion TO the Constitution OF the
! [ nited States, with its amendments
universally accepted as final settle
nient OF the controversies lbat chSenu-
crc,; civil war; and do here record our
s;.aatast confidence i'll the perpetuliy
OF republican self-SOvernInent; Ill al
! soInta acuuiescence in the will OF the
majority, the vital principle of Eepub-
! lies; in the supremacy OF the civil
over the military authority; in the
total separation Of Church and State,
! for the sake alike Of civil and religious
freedoms in the equality OF all citizens
before lust laws of their own enact
| ment; in the liberty of individual con-
duet. unyexed by Sumptuary laws,
and in the faithful education OF the
rising generation, that they may pre-
serye, enjoy and transmit the best
conditions OF human happiness and
hone. We behold the nOblest pro-
duets Of a hundred years of chanseiui
history, hut while uphOldinS the bond
oI our Union and great charter OF
these, our rights, it behOoves free
reonIe to practice also that eternal
vigilance which is the price of liberty.
Reform is necessary 20 rebuild and re-
establish in the hearts of the whole
peopIe the Union and rescue it from Il
corr,Ipt centralism, which, after inilIct-
ing upon ten States carpet-bay tyranles
has honevcom bed the offices OF the
Federal Government Itself With lncap-
acjly worse than fraud; inflicted States
and municipalities with the contaSlOn
of misrule and locked fast the prosper
ity OF an industrious people III the
paraiysis OF hard times. Reform Is
necessary TO establish Il sound cur.
rancy. restore the public credit and
maintain the national homer. We de
nounce the failure for all these eleven
wears to make good the promise OF the
Icya,-tender notes, which are chang
jn., standard of value in the hands OF
The people, and the nonpayment OF
which is disregard of the pliShted
faith of the nation. We denounce the
! improvidence which, in eleven years
of peace, has taken from the people, III
Federal taxes, thirteen times tho whole
amount OF the legal-tender notes ana
souandered four times this sum III
useless expense without accommodating
any reserve for their redemption. we
denouuce the financial imbecility aBO
immortality Of that party which, dur
in. these eleven years Of peace, has
made no advance towards resumption
and no preparation for resumption,
but, instead, has distracted resumr'
ton by wasting our resources and ex.
| hausting all our surplus income, and
while annually protesting to intend
speedy return to specie payment, has
annually enacted fresh hindrances
thereto; and as such hindrance We
denounce the resumption clause OF the
| Act OF 1875, and we here demand It's
repeal. We demand judicious sys-
tem Of preparation by public econo'
mics, by official retrenchments ana Dy
wise finance, which shall enable the
nation soon to assure the whole world
OF it's perfect ability and its perfecl
readiness to meet any of its promises
at tho call of the creditor entitled &c
PAYMENT. We believe such system
well devised and, above all, intrusted
to competent hands for execution
creating a, no time an artificial scarcity
Of currency and at no time alarming
