DEMOCRACY IN MASSACHUSETTS,.

The Democrats of Massachusetts, in
State convention nominated VIM. Gas
ton for. Governor. The resolutions
adopted contain the following:
We reaffirm- and announce the Ma
tional Democratic Platform of 1876 as
the authoritative exposition of the
principles of our past, and we congrat-
ulate our political brethren ofthe whole
country that these principles were en-
dorsed in the national canvass by the
suffrages of decided majority of the
American people. We believe the peo-
pie fairly elected u majority of the
Electoral College in favor of tho Demo-
cratic candidates, and while in the
high interest of public tranquility we
submit to the authority of the consti-
nounce upon the guilty Republican
party stern retribution for the great
public crime by which the people
were defraudetl of their right to be
governed by rulers of their choice, and
by which the elective principle was
wounded in its most vital part. We
challenge for it the OpprObrium of his
tory and indignant judgment ofall hon
est men.
We congratulate the country and the
supporters of free government every
where upon the happy results of re-
stored public order and reviving indus
trial prosperity, the Inauguration of u
new reign Of domestic peace and liber-
ty, regulated by law, in the southern
section of the Union, that have ensued
upon the adoption of Democratic prin-
ciples and measures of administration
by the executive department of the
Federal Government in reference TO
the Southern States. We recognize in
these auspicious results the signal vim
dications and practical triumph of the
constitutional doctrines SO faithfully
contended for by the Democrats in the
late political contest, and the states
manship OF the wise fathers which
seeks the welfare of the republic by the
support of the equal rights and digni-
ties of all the States in the Federal
Union. We trust that hereafter there
will be no. Southern policy, no North
ern policy, but one common policy
for the whole Union, and the equality
of the rights and duties of all men be-
tore the law.
cesotcea, That we are in favor of the
honest payment of the public debt and
of Il currency on a gold basis.

Gov. Hampton, alluding to the story
that he had been threatened, treated
the matter jocosely, eliciting much
rnfrth, and read II letter stating that
one hundred veterans at Rockford had
constituted u committee to send him
back from lrere in a box. The remain
der of the speech was devoted to eulo-
CYSTIC illusions to the State of Illinois
in regard to its agricultural advantages;
to prediction of a glorious destiny for
the Mississippi valley; to II brief allu-
for universal education. He concluded
as follows:
We are standing under one flag, obey
ing one constitution, and it is for us to
say what will be the future of this
country. Give us your help and we
will give you our hearty cooperation.
We feel aud know that If this is done,
If we can have a restoration of fratern-
ity; ii we can make the people of this
country understand each other-we
feel then that there is glorious future
before the whole country. We can
make it SO. We can make it so by
each and all of us performing in his
allotted sphere his duty, and having
done that to leave the consequences to
God. Having performed our duty,
looking back to the past only to gain
wisdom for the future, and using the
present wisely, and looking to the fu-
ture with hope and trust in God, 1 am
sure that we may all say, North and
