So much for the platforms in general


And now allow me to consider some
of the primary and fundamental differences
in principles and policies. between the Re
publican and Democratic parties.


1. The aim and purpose of the Republi-
can Revolutionary leaders is to centralize
the powers of the General Govern ment, so
as to establish ultimately an Imperial Repub-
lie; which in the judgment of the wisest
and best statesmen of America, from the
beginning, can here be but another name for
a military despotisn. To secure this object
they began by denying and usurping the just
Constitutional reserved rights of the States.
Next they assumed absolute power to exist

l have now, my Democratic friends,
finished what ] had to say upon the
political issues and situation to-day.
One word further upon another sub
ject, and have done.


You hear from every quarter, thro'
the Republican press, the alarm that
it is the purpose of the Democratic
party to reinaugurate revolution and
civil war. Let no man be in the least
concerned. Unquestionably it is the
fixed purpose of three millions of
Democratic voters, with all the inten-
sity which can fire the hearts of men
born freemen and scorning to die
slaves, if we, shall fairly, constitution
ally and legally elect President. to
see that he is inaugurated at every
hazard. 1t is our right, and our duty,
too as also il is the dnty and right of
the Republican party, if they shall
leg ally, constitutionally and fairly
elect General Grant. But no man
meditates openly or covertly, any
thing beyond. No. gentlemen, it is
the Republican leaders who are the
revoiutionists. 1t is they who resoiv-
of the rights of the States, the liber-
ties of tho people, and the peace of
| the country, TO perpetuate their pow
er, would again plunge us into both
civil and social war with all its hor-
rors. But to the ballot, and not to,
| the bullet, we now appeal. The peo-
pie are wearied of the Republican
party, and of its wrongs and its per-
fidies, of its debts and its tariffs and
| its taXatiOns, of its negro govern
ments and military despotisms, of a
dishonoTed Constitution and a broken
Union, which four years of war and
three years of peace under its con
duct and legislation have failed to
restore; and they demand and will
have change. And unless every
sign and omen by which the political
future may be discerned, shall fail, so
signal and disastrous will be the over
throw Of this party in Novem her,
that they themselves will make haste
to recognize and hearken to the voice
of the people as the voice of God +; and
as chastened children in silence will
submit to the Judgment which in uer-
cy to themselves, as to us and to the
whole country, shall drive them from
the seats of power. No, gentlemen
no; there will be no more civil war in
the land but the sun at high noon
shining on the Eastern front of the
Capitol on the 4th of March, 1865, will
look down peacefully upon HoratiC

Temperanceville has little sensation
in the shape of an elopement which, for
some days past, has been the chief sub
iect of conversation among the resi-
dents. The circumstances of the case
are stated to be as follows: The wife of
a we'll known butcher who resided on
the Steubenville pike road was suffering
from i'll health last summer and thought
a trip to Europe would benefit her ma
terially. She spoke to her husband in
regard to the matter and he coinciding
in her views it was determined that she
should make the voyage. Before lesv.
ing she proposed that his sister-inlaw
should take care of her house and fami-
IL in her absence, and the request was
complied with. The wife then took
her departure for Europe, happy in the
belief that she had so arranged matters
in Temperapceville that everything
would go we'll there, in her absence


After sojourning in Europe for some
months she retHrned, and was at once
surprised and mortified TO find that her
domestic peace had suffered greatly
while she was away. She was Informed
by her friends, whom she believed to bt
in every way reliable, that her husband
and her sister had been criminally iRti-
mate, and it is stated that when she
charged them with the offence there wa:
scarcely any denial made. The sister
in-law was retained in the family. and
some weeks ago the wife came over tc
Pittsburgh to live with her friends

We annex the Worlds description of


Fort Lafayette, the fortress which was


destroyed by fire, on Tuesday, the lst


instant:


Fort Lafayette was built subsequent


to the close of our war with England,


for the purpose of more effectually


guarding the entrance to the metropo-


lis. 1t stands on the Long Island side


Of the bay, about six miles below the


city, and almost directly opposite to


Fort Wadsworth, on Staten Island. 1t


was built on a reef about three hun


dred yards from the shore, and at low


tide it is surrounded by about six feet


Of water. The structure was quaint IN


appearance from the outside, as well as


within. The inner wall is diamond


shaped, and rises five or six feet higher


than the wall surrounding it. The top


snrface of the inner wall slopes towards


the centre, and it is upon this strong


rampart that the heavy guns of the fort


we're mounted. For long series OF
years this fort has stood like sturdy
sentinel guarding the gates to the EN-
pire City, without once having had the
satisfaction of discharging a hundred
pounder across the bow of hostile
man-of-war. But it has done other
service.


! During the late civil war it was made
to help Secretary Stanton disgrace the
laRd it was made to protect, and the
name of the distinguished soldier under
whose name it was christened. During
these four years of strife, hundreds of


men who, had then been granted fair
trial before any tribunal, could have
been found guilty of nothing, suffered
confinement for months and years In its
dungeons. There will be many vic
tms who will rejoice when they hear
Of the demolition by fire of this Ameri
can bastile. About forty-years ago
Fort Lafayette presented very differ
ent appearance than it does to-day.
Then the gallant Lafayette, from whom
it subsequently took its name, was re-
visiting the country Cor whose liberties
he had fought, when its government
was in course of inception. Then its
walls and cannon had changed for 4
time their warlike aspect, and |
were docked with wreaths of flowers
and French and American flags,
and notices that were typi-
cal of freedom of speech and thought, a
part of the grand old principles upon
which the new republic had but re-
certify been founded. On that glorious
when Lafayette, in present
ing to Washington the key of the bastlle
as token of that tyranny and intoler-
ance which he hoped would never dis
grace this fair land, gave utterance to
the following words: "Permit me, my
dear General, to offer you picture
the Bastile, such as it was
,ome days after had given orders for
its demolition. | make you homage
also of the principal key of this fortress
Of despotsm." The historian relates
hat Washington received the key with
reverence, as ga token CT the victory
gained by liberty over despotisn." The
tri end of Washington little dreamed at
hat time that the very fort which was
Intended should commemorate and
honor his name should at last become
tself a bastile, the thing which he held
IA such utter adherence.
