appointed, when the DEM
ocratic National Convention for 1880
was adjourned sine oie.
Our exchanges, since the adjourn
ment, are full of accounts of personal
congratulations and ratification meet
ing all over the country. The Demo-
cratic nominees are received every
where with the greatest demonstrations
of joy. Though disappointment in the
defeat Of particular candidates may be
felt by some, yet the defeated candi-
dates themselves all pledge their best
and most untiring efforts for the sue
cess of Hancock and English on the
ides of November. The opinion seems
generally entertained that such Is and
will be the strength of the ticket that
many States, heretofore regarded as
certain for the Republicans at the elec-
tion, will probably or certainly cast
their vote for the electoral ticket of
Hancock and English. The wave of
popular enthusiasm sweeping over the
country from center to circumference
In favor of the candidates named, for
chilly reminds one who is old enough
to remember, of the campaign OF 1910,
when General Harrison was elected
over his opponent by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
Should the analogy between the oc-
cupations and prospects of the Whig
candidate of 1910 and the Democratic
candidate of 1880 hold good in respect
to the efforts made and the popular en-
thusiasm evoked in the pending cam
vass, the Republicans have everything
to fear, and the Democrats everything
to hope from the restoration of, and adj
herence to, the principles of constitu-
tional government, such as our fathers
founded and practiccd in the pure days
of tho Republic.

THE CENSUS,

Mr.. Willie Ray, enumerator of the
city Of Monroe, has completed his
enumeration of the city of Monroe,
and gives the total population as 2l1s.
In 1870 it numbered 1916 Inhabitants.
The increase in ten years is 1863 which,
taking the census of 1870 as the basis,
gives an increase of little less than
ITO per cent in the last decade. This
will no doubt surprise mony of our
citizens, as the population was made
23OO in 1875, if we mistake not But
it must not be forgotten that we have
no manufacturing establishments for
the production of finished values out
of row material, which produce manu-
factured articles altogether of the value
of $50, 600 at the outside; and tho happy
negroes who used to vegctate here up
on carrying few carpet sacks and do.

towns, or have gone to tho country to
till the soil upon their own account.

With the city population added to
tho above, the census returns, as far rs
completed, show an aggregate popula-
ton of nearly 5000. There are nine
wards in this parish, six of which are
yet to be heard from; and unless the
latter give better returns proportionally
than VIC now have from city and above
country wards, the population of this
parish will fall considerably below that
of 1870, which, according to the pub
lished returns, amounted to II, ,5S2.
Several causes may have entered as
factors in this decrease, which We
leave for consideration and solution to
the reflection and knowledge Of our
readers.

THE PLATFORM.
Adopted by the National Democratic
Convention Mt CINCINNATI,
June p, 1880.

The Democrats of the United States,
in convention assembled, declare:
1. We pledge ourselves anew to the
constitutional doctrines and traditions
Of the Democratic party, as illustrated
by tho teaching and example of long
line of Democratic statesmen and pa
riots, and embodied in the platform Of
tho last national convention of the
party.
2. Opposition to Capitalization and
to that dangerous spirit of encroach-
1nent which tends to consolidate the
powers of all departments in one, and
thus to create, whatever be the form
of government, a real despotism no
su1nptuary laws separation of church
and state for tho good Of each; common
schools fostcrcd and protected.
3. Home rule; honest money, con-
sisting OF gold and silver and paper
convertible into coin on demand; strict
maintenance of public faith, State
and national; and Il tariff for revenue
only.
4. Subordination of the military
to the civil power, and general and
thorough reform of the civil service.
8. That right to free ballot is right
preservativc of all rights, and must
and shall be maintained in every part
of tho United States.
6. The existing administration is
representative of conspiracy only, and
tho claim of right to surround ballot
boxes with troopsand deputy marshals
to intimidate and obstruct electors, and
the unprecedented use of the veto to
maintain its corrupt and despotic
power, insults the people and imperils
their institutions,
z. The great fraud Of 1S7G-77, by
which upon false count of the elcc-
toral votes of three States the candi-
date defeated at the polls was declared
to be president, and for the first time
in American history the will of the
people was set aside under the threat
of military violence, struck deadly
blow at our system of representa- tive
government. The Democratic party,
to preserve the country from civil war,
submitted for the time in the firm and
patriotic faith that the people would
punish this crime in 1880. This issue
preccdes and dwarfs every other it
imposes Il more sacred duty upon tho
people of the Union than ever address
cd tho conscience ola nation of free
men.
8. We cNccrltc the course of this adj
ninistration in making places in tho
civil service II reward for political
crime, and demand reform by statute
which shall make it forever impossible
for the defeated candidate to bribc his
way to the seat of tho usurper by
billcting villains upon the people.
.. The resolution of Sam'l j. Tiitlcn
not again to he 4 candidate for the
exalted place TO which he was elected
by Il majority of his countrymcn and
from which he was excluded by tho
leaders of the Republican party, is
received by the Democrats of tho
United States with scnsibility, and
they declare their confidence in his
wisdom, patriotism and integrity, un-
shaken by the assaults of Il common
! enemy ; and they further assure him
that he is followed into the retirement
he has chosen for himself by the sym
| pathy and respect OF his fellow citizens,
who regard him as one who, by eleyai-

A few days ago the wires flashed tho
intelligence that James Currie, the
Texas murderer, was acquitted of the
act of Staying Porter upon the plea of
insanity from drink. Well can we ex-
claim with Horace, Otcnapora, o mores!!
Docs even the most farcical features Of
law extenuate a crime originating from
common and at the same time so SELF
| imposed? Here is Il man defending
himself against II most atrocious crime,
blackening in its character and touch
ing upon barbarfc terriblcness, upon
the ground he was labOring under the
effects of dipsomania. What prcce-

siders lie is insultetl or offered wrong;
yea, more, If there be a grudge, or, yea
more, ifa man may ssdream pcrcl,ance''

he has to do is to unbridle his passions
and let them master him in the DEATH
stroke of his so-called antagonist, and
appeal for acquittal upon the ground
sshe ,cas only d.1uk." This is tho effect
produced, and at tho hands of the
learned barristers who dwell around
and about tho temple OF justice, but
who never enter into the sacred sane

Congressman Aiken's Eccentricities-8is Re-
narkable Speech at Townville.
Anderson Intelligencer.

On last Saturday afternoon the cit
zens of Townville and vicinity, who
had attended the Grange meeting
during the morning, reassemoled for
the purpose Of hearing some political
speeches. Maj. George W. Merit,
President of Fork Democratic Club,
No. ?, presided, and introduced as
the first and principal speaker for the
afternoon Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, the
nominee Of the Democratic party of
the Third District for Congress. Col.
Aiken spoke almost entirely upon
National politics. He gave his rea-
sons for preferring Hancock to Garfield
for President; and arraigned the Re-
publican nominee for the lack of moral
courage and an undue love for money.
He expressed the opinion that if Gar
field should be elected, our people will
never see another Presidential elec-
ton, but that the country will drift
rapidly into some consolidated power
at Washington. lie complimentcd
Gar6eld's ability, but said he is
totally unreliable, and that his elec-
ton would forebode the greatest mis-
fortune to our government. Col.
Aiken then arraigned the Northern
Democrats for insincerity and preju-
dice towards the South. He said that
the North only allowed the South 3
very small proportion Of the appro-
priations for rivers and harbors, and
that they had repeatedly refused to
restore the soldiers of the Mexican
war living in the South to the pension
lists. He arraigned them for main
tanning a high tariff, and said that
the better class Of people in the North
were generally Republicans. That

they had the brains, the money and
the culture Of the North, and were
raore congerial to his tastes than the
Democrats lie WAS unwilling for
the South, which compoScs the greater
portion Of tho Democratic party. to be
controlled and ignored by the mincri-
tv. Col. Aiken claimed that the
elections in the Northern cities are
controlled largely by use of money
and hv the exercise of the money

trouble the Democrats will encounter
in carrying the Presidential election
He said that the host of office holders

positions. lie thought the Contest in

Democrats. for if we carry Indiana we

but if We lose Indiana then we have

Aiken closed his speech by saying that

lima he is one from head to foot.

The Radicals have not nominated

not stand the array of miserable
hacks that were presented to them.
IF the Executive Committee can get
men of any sort Of decency and re-
spectabi]ity to so on the ticket they
will make a nomination other rwise
not. The probabilities are that
they cannot find any such, and that
there will be denominations. They
will, however, bide their time and
if they see any chance of success
they will nominate. They have put
