Ii further declares that 1.-THE Demo-
cratic party is the friend OF labor and Ia
boring men," which will be matter Of
news to the colored men Of the South As
well As to those lAboring men in the
North who remember how persistsntly
that party has fought for tree trade in the
past.
Finally it congraiulates 1.-The country
upon the honesty and thrift of the Dem
ocraiic Congress which has reduced pub
lie expenditures forty millions of dollars
year" This. Of course. does not take
into account the deficiency bills which
have had to be passed each year and which
make an actual annual increase of about
four millions over the amount expended
annually by the Republican Congress
when it went out. and upon the ooniin-
uation Of prosperity a, home and the
National honor abroad" both of which
the Democratic party has done every
thing in its power To obstruc, and destroy.
We have only mentioned few Of the
Inconsistencies and false statements con
tanned in the platform. aud many more
will suggest themselves To any one who
takes the trouble "a read it through.
1t is highly characteristic Of the party
which adopted it aud which hopes to
ride into power by Misrepresentation
and deceit.

Another Steamboat Disaster.


Another frightful Steamboat disaster ot-
CURED in Eas, River. n. Y, on Monday
afternoon.
The Sieamboa, Seawanhaka, plying be-
tween Peckslip and Glencove. L. l.. took
fire when Of Randal's Island. and although
the boat VAS headed for the shore af once,
fiiy Of the three hundred and fifty persons
on board are supposed to have been drowned
or burned to death. The FIRE is though, to
have started from an explosion in the ei<
CINE room. The flames came up through
the pilo, house but the pilot remained q, his
pos, until nearly burned to death. and until
he had succeeded in Bleaching the boa, on .
sunken meadow adjoining the Island and
about 200 feet from the shore. Several
steamers, which happened to be in the vi
entity. rendered all the assistance in their
power and succeeded in saving many Of
those who had jumped into the water.
The bodies Of abou, 81 dead persons
have been recovered. MANY of the passen-
gers were unpro,ided with life pre.erver.
and we're only saved BY clinging to the
guards. paddle. and other portion. Of the
burning boat:
i, is reported tina, some Of the crew did
no, render any assistance but jumped into
the water intent only on saving themselves.
Among the passengers were many women
and children. and this fact. doubtless. &C
counts, in some measure for the large los.
Of life.

". II. Dogllsh's Record.

The career Of William H. English, demo
cratic nominee for Vice President, is we'll
known in Washington. The early part Of
j, was remarkable for q gigantic lobby oper-
alton Is government clerk by which he
made $40 900. The later years were noted
for the mOnstrous bride which he A. Con-
gresham offered TO the free States TO per-
pctuaie slavery. While q member Of Con-
gress he devised and introduced the meas
ure known as the English bill relating to
slavery in the territories. which involved q
most abject surrender Of Northern freemen
to the slave poser. That bill proposed, in
short, 10 grant to the State Of Kansas for
school purposes an almost !imisless public
domain. on the condition that the State
would adopt Constitution recognizing and
perpetuating slavery, and tina, as an alter
native, should the State decline 10 adopt the
proposed pro-slavery conditions, the gran,
should be extremely magnificent The in
fanny Of this proposition drove him from pub
lie life as it deserted TO. He is wealthy and
Is expected to contribute handsomely to
cam paign expenses.

The Warrington correspondent Of the
Boston Journal SAYS tina, Gen. Hancock has
so long been an Office seeker, that he has
been careful to make as little record As pos
sible. His connection With the execution Of
Mrs. Surratt is likel, to cause the democrats
much trouble. He Was commanding officer
at the time and had full charge Of the eAecu-
ton Of sentence upon Mrs. Surrai. The
Catholics have never forgiven him for it.
So greyious sin did they consider it, tina,
Hardie. an under officer, vas made the sub
ject Of an anathema from the Pope Han
cocks letter in regard to the reorganization
Of the army, in which he proposed to abolish
oil civil administration Of the army, and
place the general Of the army in time Of
peace in supreme command Of all military
Affairs, is likely to give him . grsa, deal Of
trouble.

The Lewiston Journal says that Gen.
Hancock is already IN trouble about the Sur
raft business. His friends recently put out
story that he was opposed to the execution
of Mrs Surratt and did all that he could do
to save her. This claim is repudisted by a
daughter Of Mrs. Surratt who told a reporter
OF the Boston H<raid that this claim was
false from beginning to end, and that Gen.
Hancock did nothing TO save Mrs. Surratt
and expressed no sympathy for her. On
the contrary he put obstacles in the way OF
her seeing president, Johnson to in,ercede
for the life Of her mother. The attempt at this
late day to change his attitude on the ques-
ton to secure the Catholic vote, she declares
is unmanly and indecent. The daughter
saws that she proposes ere long to give to
the country the full story Of Gen. Hancock S
participation in that affair.
