The Democratic Platform.

To the Editor of The National Republican.
SIR: 1t has been said that political plat
forms are not what they used TO bo, aud that
less Importance is attached to them now than
IN former times 1t is claimed that these po-
litcal manifestoes are vague and trimming,
and hence the masses have come TO regard
them.as mere electioneering buncombe 1t is
pertinent to ask when, since such declarations
became customary, democratic platform was
an honest statement Of the aims and policy of
the democratic party. Not within the memory
OF the author of this article. These demo-
cratic maniiestoes have always straddled dc.
batable questions-notably SO the tariff and
slavery questions-and made deceitful bids
for popular support. This trimming policy
was finally carried to such an extent that the
democratic party fell TO pieces Oh the con-
struGtiOu of its own platform in 1860 and
made the election of Mr.. Lincoln possible But
IN regard to the platforms Of 1850 we are told
that "the Cincinnati platform seems to be the
more sincere and straightforward OF tho two,"
and this 10 the conclusion reached by II great
metropolitan paper 1t is difficult 10 see
upon what data this conclusion is based.
Now, to commence at the beginning let us
see what is said in section / of the democratic
platform. Here IL is :
We pledge ourselves anew to the constitutional
doctrines and traditions Of the democratic party,
as illustrated by the teachings and example of q
long line Of democratic statesmen aud patriots
and embodied in the platform of the last natiOnul
convention Of the party.
Here the democratic party pledges itself
anew to the doctrines and traditions Of the
democratic party" What sincerity is there in
such pledge as that? The democracy has
shown neither just conception Of what u
principle is nor u firm adherence TO any CON
sistent policy, right or wrong 1t has affirmed
and denied, adopted and rejected all tho mol.
itical business Of the timo, 1t has combated
and denounced aud finally agreed to aud
adopted every one ofthe great reforms wrought
out by the republican party. Observe tho con.
stitutonal doctrines and traditions OF the demo.
cratic party, as illustrated by teachings Of q
long line of patriotic statesmen aud patriots.
In the days OF Andrew Jackson 10 was a hard.
money party, aud tho most prominent adyo.
cate of that doctrine received tho nickname
Of "Old Bullion" In 1868 the democratic
convention at New York declared itself in
favor of paying The public debt Ia irredeem.
able shinplasters. Al tho outbreak Of tho war
the democracy denounced greenbacks as an
unconstitutional currency, In time Of pro.
found peace the sume party hUs advocated the
doctrine Of making them lcgal.tondcr for all
debts, public aud private. Aud so il might be
shown that the democratic party has tray.
olcd completely around the circle Of political
apostacyn And yet tho Cincinnati conyen-
heres "tO the constitutional doctrines aud ira.
dtions of the democratic party" SO much
for the consistency aud sincerity Of the hrst
plank in the democratic platform OF 1850,
