The Nebraska Democratic Platform.

The Nebraska Democrats at their re-
cent State Convention adopted the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions:
WHEREAS In the Presidential campaign of
1876 all of the historical Democratic policies of
sound finance, home rule and purity of Ad-
minstration were in issue and at stake in the
candidacy of Samuel j. TIden; and,
WHEREAS, In that campaign the Democratic
party raised the only standard under which it
merits victory; and,
WHEREAS, In the Republican frauds by
which the country was basely cheated of its
wish and robbed of its elected choice, the
whole Republic was sdespoiled and our institu-
tions injured; therefore,
ResOlued, That the Democratic party of Neb-
raska pledges itself to the ceaseless execra-
ton, pursuit and punishment of all the au-
thors, aiders, abettors, allies and beneficiaries
of that fraud, and promises all its strength to
the vindication of that majority rule which
alone can perpetuate our Democratic form of
government.
ResolUed, That, recognizing all Democratic
leaders as pledged to right the wrong done to
the theft of the Presidency, we pledge to our
standard-bearers our united support in such
measures as may again put in issue the great
questions of 1876. and as may provide for their
most certain vindication against the crimes
which, in 1867, struck down our elected Pres
ident, despoled him of his great office, and de-
prived the Republic of the benefcent results
of Democratic Government and majority rule
during the current Presidency,

Assurance.

The Duke of Argyle, who not long
since visited in Canada his son, the
Marquis of Lorne, and the Princess LOU
ise, his daughter-in-law and daughter OF
Queen Victoria, is chief of the great clan
Campbell, and can boast of a lineage as
ancient and more honorable in character
than that of the Guelphs, the ruling fam
ily of England. In spite of this fact the
Marquis, it is said, has been made to feel
sharply the disparity of rank, by snubs
from his royal brothers-in-law, who were
opposed to his marriage with the Princess
Louise. s94a+
Apropos to this, story is told of the
visit of one of the royal princes-the
Duke of Edinboro'-to this country.

Two Democratic State Conventions

were held at Syracuse, N. Y, on the Goth. In the
regular convention resolutions were adopted
instructing the delegates to enter the Ma
hOnal Convention unit and to act
and vote as unit, in accordance with
the Will of the majority of the members
thereof; that the Democratic party of New
York add to their condemnation of the
Electoral conspiracy of 1876 an emphatic dec
larat1on of their continued confidence in the
character, ability and fitness of that distin-
guished citizen of New York who was then
elected to the highest office in the peoples gift
and was in his own person the object of
joint attack on his party, his fellow-citiZens
and the cause of free government-the
blow which deprived the country of its chosen
ruler was aimed not SO much at him
at the Democratic millions who stood be-
hind him; that while making no in
structions as to candidates the convention
suggests to the brethren of other States that
they take such action as shall best present this
great issue to the people; higher than all 9TH
er party duties is the solemn obligation to give
to the free voters of the land an opportunity
to pass their judgment upon this monstrous
crime against popular rights. A resolution
of the two-thirds rule. The Anti-Tilden Con-
vention adopted resolution declaring that the
nomination of Samuel J. Tilden to the Presi-
dency would be fatal to the Democratic
party, and an act of treason to the party.
Accompanying the resolutions was an address
to the Democracy of the State protesting
against the degradation of the Democratic
of one man and his personal following, and
declaring that Tilden is the personalism which
is false to the Democracy and dangerous to
the republic. The Convention then elected
delegates to the Cincinnati Convention and
adjourned.

a lunatic's grave. The paper which he
established, and which owes all its
prestige and power to him, is now In
close alliance with his assassins.
Mr.. -Greeley's idea was that, the war
being over, the fighting might as well
cease; that the Union being restored,
the States composing it had equa. rights
under the Constitution and should be
allowed to enjoy them; that Federals
and Confederates being on the same le-
gal footing, the latter should have the
same chance as the former in the scram-
BILE for Office; in short, that being one
country and one people, with no slavery
to quarrel over, the continuance of Sec
tional agitation was both unwise and
unpatriotic. The only talk about
'wiping out legislation came from
those radical Republicans who wanted
no reconciliation at any price, and who,
led by Chandler and Blaine, have been
stirring up strife ever since. No Dem
ocrat has ever proposed to disturb any
legislation intended to preserve the
legitimate fruits of the war, but no
Democrat had or has the slightest hesi-
tation in sweeping away any and all
legislation designed to perpetuate Re-
publican rule.
The Tribune, having buried its con-
sistency with Greeley, favors an 6 era
of good feeling" in which Republicans
will always feel good and Democrats al
ways feel bad. That is, the Republi-
cans must always have possession of the
Government and all the offices, and the
Democrats always remain in the minor
ity. Any attempt to change the minor
ity into majority. and thereby obtain
a share of the Administration, is, from
the Tribunian standpoint. incipient
treason, and must be regarded and
treated accordingly. Democrats may
vote providing they do not outvote the
Republicans; but the moment they
threaten to do this st the National
Peril' looms up, and ssthe new re.
bellion'' must be put down at all haz-
ards. 1t is not strange that after fifteen
years experience of this game the peo-
| pie should have come to understand il
thoroughly and treat it with the con-
tempt it deserves. The fact the Demo
Gratis now have control of both branches
| of Congress. with a cheerful prospect oi
gaining the Presidency, proves that the
popular mind is no longer shaken up by
Republican predictions of Democratic
deviltry, and that "the era of good
feeling" will hereafter not be altogether
as one-sided as it was.-St. Louis Repu6

The Porcelain Regiment.

A paper has lately been discovered in
the State archives of Saxony which con-
tains some curious particulars concerning
the corps longs long known to the Prus-
sian service as the g Porcelain Regi-
ment," and from which the First Dra-
goons and the Third, Fourth and Fifth
Regiments of Cuirassiers claim to have
sprung. According to tradition, the
regiment was bought by King Frederick
William, of Prussia, from the King Of
Poland for some costly porcelain vases;
and the documents lately found in the
Saxon archives show that substantially
the tradition was correct. The men were
valued at twenty thalers each, and the
whole regiment at $4,000 thalers; while
the porcelain given in exchange for them
was considered to be worth considerably
more.
