IHi.nUC H iTH PLATFORM.,
The Democratic party in national conven
tion assembled, reposing its trust in the in
telligence, patriotism and discriminating jus
tice of the people, standing upon the Consti
tution as the foundation and limitation of the
powers of the Government and the guarant ee
of the liberties of the citizen, and recogniz
ing the questions of slavery and secession as
having been settled for all time to come by
the war or the voluntary action of the South
ern States in constitutional convention as
sembled, and never to be renewed or reagita
ted, do, with the return of peace, demand—
1st. immediate restoration of all the States
to their rights in the Union under the Con
stitution, and of civil government to the
American people.
2d. The amnesty for all tlie past political
offenses an 1 the regulation of the elective
franchise in the States by their citizens: the
payment of the public debt of the United
States as rapidly as practicable.
8d. All the money drawn from the people
by taxation, except so much as is requisite
for the necessities of the Government, econ
omically administered, being honestly ap
plied to such payment, and where the obliga
tions of the Government do not expressly
state upon their face, or the law under which
they were issued does not provide that they
shall be paid in coin, they ought in right and
justice be paid in the lawful money of the
United States,
4th. Equal taxation of every species of pro
perty according to its real value, including
Government bonds and other public securi
ties
5th. One currency for the Government and
the people, the laborer and the office-holders,
the producer and the bond-holder.
Oth. Economy in the administration of the
Government; the reduction of the standing
army and navy; the abolition of the freed
ineu’s bureau, and all political instrumentali
ties designed to secure negro supremacy;
simplification of the system, and discontinu
ance of inquisitorial boards of assessing and
collecting the internal revenue, so that the
burden of taxation may be equalized and
lessened and the credit of the Government
and the currency made good; tbo repeal of
all enactments for enrolling the Sfate militia
into the national forces in time of peace; a
tariff for revenue upon foreign imports, and
such equal taxation under the internal reve
nue laws as will afford incidental protection
to domestic manufactures, and will, without
impairing the revenue, impose the least bur
den upon and best promote and encourage
the great industrial interests of the country.
7th. ltel’orm of abuses in administration;
the expulsion of corrupt men from office; the
abrogation of useless offices; the restoration
nf riirhtfiil authority to. and the indenend
cnee of, the executive ami judicial depart
ments of the Government; the subordination
of the military to the civil power, to the end
that the usurpations of Congress and the
despotism of the sword may cense.
fctli. Equal rights and protection for natu
ralized nnd native-born citizens at home and
abroad. The assertion of American nation
ality which shall command the respect of
foreign powers, furnish an example and en
couragement to the people struggling for na
tional integrity, constitutional liberty and
undived rights, and the raaintainance of the
l ights of naturalized citizens against the ab
solute doctrine of immutable allegiance nnd
the claims of foreign powers to punish them
for alleged crime committed beyond their ju
risdiction.
lo demanding these measure* and reforms
wo arraign the Radical party for—
Its disregard of right and the unparalleled
oppression and tyranny which have marked
its career after the most solemn and unani
mous pledge of both houses of Congress to
prosecute the war exclusively for t he main
fainance of the Gouernrnent and the preser
vation of the Union under the Constitution.
It has repeatedly violated the most sacred
pledge unuer which was rallied that noble
volunteer army which carried our flag t >
victory
Instead of restoring the Union, it Las, so
fur as in its power, dissolved it, and subject
ed ten N't ate* in -time vf profound peace, to
military despot ism and negt supremacy
It lias nullified there the right of trial by
j* try, , ,
it lias abolished ; ue ltabea corpus, that
moat sacred writ of liberty.
It has overthrown the Lvo&iotu of speech
and the press
It hoj rub-uitated nrbkravy seizures and
•:crests, and military trials and star chamber
inquisitions for < r.^ituti nnl tribunals
It has disregarded ’**• • f peace the
light of t he ptipple be l- e free from neareli *md
seizure.
It has entered the post of*; t?1? and udegr.-iph
llice.s, and even the private rooms of indi
viduals, and seized their private papers and
letter without any specimen: i»n or notice of
; Hi davit, as required by he -rgaiiic law.
it has converted the .iu.« i-c^n eupitol into
a'basiile, *
It lifts established a sy- -tu of spies nnd of
ficuU espionage to which i. monarchy ot Eu
would now dare to resort
It has abolished the rig hi of appeal on im
portant constitutional -ucstions to the su
premejudicial tribunals, and threatens to
rontroi or destroy its original jurisdiction,
which is irrevocably vested by the constitu
tion. while the learned Chief Justice has been
subjected to great and atrocious calumnies,
merely because he would not prostitute hi»
high office to the support of the false nnd
i irtiiun charges preferred against the Pres
i lent.
It a corruption and extravagance have o\
reeled anything known in history by if?
friend* and monopolies.
It has nearly doubled the burden ot debt
created during the war.
It has stripped the President of his consti
tutional power of appointment, even ot his
own cabinet.
Under its repeated assaults the pillars of
the Government arc rocking on their base,
nnd, should it succeed in November next and
inaugurate its President, we will meet ft* a
subjugated and conquered people amid the
ruins of liberty and the scattered fragments
of the Constitution.
And we do declare and rcs»»lve:
That, ever since the people ot the United
Slat** threw on uu supjecuon 10 iuc i
ow.wn, the privilege end trust ot’ suffrage
have belonged to the several States, and have
been granted, regulated nnd controlled ex
clusively by the political power of ouch State,
respectively, nnd any attempt by Congress,
,,n ; uy pretext whatever, to deprive any State
of this right, or to interfere with this exer
cise, is a flagrant usurpation of power which
can find no wnrrant in the Constitution, and
if sanctioned by the people, will subvert our
furni of government, and can only etui in a
single, centralized, consolidated government,
in which the separate existence of the States
will be entirely absorbed and n»t unqualified
despotism be established in the place ol a
Federal Union of equal State .
That we regard the reconstruction acta of
Congress, so-called, and such usurpations, as
unconstitutional, revolutionary and void, and
that our soldiers and sailors who carried the
Hag of our country to victory, a gain at a most
gallant and determined foe, must over be
gratefully remembered, and all the guaran
tees givan in their favor must be faithfully
carried into execution.
That the public lands should be distributed
as widely among the people and should be
disposed of, either under the pre-emption of
homestead lands, and sold in reasonable
quantities, and to none but actual occupants
at the minimum price, as established by the
Government When grants ol the public
lauds may be allowed necessary for the en
courngcinent of important public improve
ments, the proceed of the sale of such lands,
and not the lands i hem selves, should be so
applied.
That the President of the United State*,
Andrew Johnson, in exercising the power of
his high office in resisting the aggressions of
Congress on the Constitutional rights of the
States and the people, is entitled to the grat
itude of the whole American people, and on
behalf of the Democratic party we tender him
• our thanks for bis patriotic effort* iu that
)egard.
Lipoit this platform the Democratic party
appeals to every patriot, including all the
conservative element and all who desire to
support the Constitution and restore the Un
ion. forgetting all past differences of opinion,
to unite with us in the present great struggle
f'»r the liberties of the people, and Uiut to all
such, to whatever party they may have be
longed heretofore. we extend the right hand
of fellowship* and hail all such co-operating
v. ith it^ ns friends nnd brothers.

History of Itio I»lou*l>.
Tlic first plongh is supposed to have
| been the rude branch of a tree, out so a
to have .veloft end, the point of which!
dragged along tlio surface of the ground,
scraping a furrow, iuto which seeds wen*
thrown. It soon occurred to the husband
man that he might relieve his own labour
by yoking an animal to the long arm of
the primitive instrument, then a handle
had to be fixed to the hack, so that the
plough might be guided. The strength
of the animal soon wore away or broko the
cleft of the branch, and the necessity gave
rise to the invention of moveable shares,
first of wood, next of stone, copper or iron,
i worked to a shape adapted to the cutting
! of the soil so ns to avoid the excessive la
bour arising from the ploughman’s having
j to lean with all his weight upon the
plough, to press it into the earth. Just
such an implement as those conjectures
indicate, was used by the Saxons.
Some of the facts connected with the
history of the plough arc almost incredible.
In Ireland there once prevailed a custom
of "ploughing witli the horse’s tail ” The
draught polo was laslied to the tail of the
horse, and as no harness was employed,
two men were necessary, one to guide and
press upon the plough, and the other to
direct the horse, which he did by walking
backwards before the miserable animal*
and heating on the head or either side, ac
cording to the direction required. This
custom prevailed for a considerable time,
in spite of a law which was passed in the
early part of the 17th century, imposing
severe penalties upon persons guilty of
ploughing by the horse’s tail,” as in the
act mentioned and described. From the
Rev. Caesar Otways, "Sketches in Erin
and Tyrawly,” it appears that the barbar
ous practice lingered in the remote west
of Ireland ns late as the Tear 1740.
And from a prper “On the Breed of
I Horses in the Ancient Times,” printed in
i the first volume of the Transactions of the
Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, wc
find that the same customs was practised
i in that country as late as the year 179-.
; —Ex.

Printers Mistakes.
i During the Mexican war one of the
j English news-papers hurriedly announced
I an important item of news from Mexico,
; that General Pillow and thirty-seven of
his men had been lost in a bottle (battle.)
1 —Some other paper informed the public
' not long ago, that a man in a brown
surtout was yesterday brought before tire
, court on the charge of stealing a small ox
(box) from a ladys' workbag. ’I be stolen
property was found in bis waistcoat pocket
A rat (raft.) says another paper, dcsccnd
i ing the liver, can c into contact with n
. tcamboat, and bj serious was the injury
to the boat that great exertions were
i necessary to save it. An English paper
i nee stated that the Russian General
Rackinoffkowsky was found dead with a
long word (sword) in his mouth. It was,
i perhaps, the same paper that, in giving a
description of a battle between the Poles
and (he Russians, raid that the conflict
was dreadful and that the enemy were re
pulsed with great laughter.) Again a
gentleman was recently brought up to
answer the charge of having eaten (beaten)
a stage driver for demanding more than
his fare.
Slic k <» llim.
■ We have record of a colloquy be
, tween a gentleman and his sou, both
lawyers, the father having retired in
! easy circumstances to a country place
some ton miles away from the scenes
! of liis professional labors. One Sunday
morning the young goiitlemuii, home
ward bound, met his father on their
way to church where they regularly
j attended. The father said :
•My son, I am delighted, and so is
j your dear mother, that you are going
! to hear our good man preach. You
I will be lrigtily pleased with him.’
While this conversation was going
; on a tall friend of the son came up, and
i familiarly addressed him by his chris
! tian name—
‘1 have got the bar open, so that we
i an have brandy and water whenever
j wc want it.’
The friend, observing tire solemn
countenance of the father, beat a hasty
\t'l. I... or/vi.o lotlmi
put up both hands and said;
‘My sou, 1 could not have believed
ibis of you ; look at your poor mother,
1 and observe how she feels your wicked
ness.'
Alter a minute of dead silence the
i lather said;
■Who is that sad companion of yours,
my son ?’
•Well, father, if 1 must tell you, lie i>
my best client, and tiie tidiest mail in
our town.’
The old gentleman thereupon slapped
his soil on the shoulder and said :
‘Stick to him, my boy ; slick to him
and never leave him.’
Wicked world.
MgrThc Radical newspapers ijuote
Tennyson’s lino—
•■One )Ull, strong man in a blntnm land,’'
to illustrate Grant’s position in relation to
the people of this country. It is rather an
apt illustration of the estimate which the
Radical politicians put upon the free peo
ple of these United States. It is tho
same as if they should say to the people,
as they have said Indore, “You are a liurd
of voting cattle. Wo are far above you,
and only care for you just to get your
votes.” The Radicals tliink tiiat this is a
"blatant landbut Grant is a “itili, \
strung man” only so far as those words are :
applid to whisky.—Chicago Timos.
