DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The Democratic party in national conven
tion assembled, reposing its trust in the in
telligence, patriotism and discriminating jus
tice of tbe people, standing upon the Consti
tution as the foundation and limitation of the
powers of the Government and the guarantee
of the liberties ef the citisen, and recoguix
ing the questions of slatery and secession as
having been settled for all timo to come by
the war or the Voluntary action of the Soutb
nn States in constitutional convention as
sembled, and never to be renewed reagita
ted, do, with the return of peace, demand—
1st. Immediate restoration of all tie States
to thei? rights in the Union under the Con
stitution, and of civil government to the
American people. S
2d. The amnesty for all the past Political
offenses and the regulation of therelective
franchise in the States by their citizens; the
payment of the public debt of the United
Stated as rapidly as practicable.
3d. All the money drawn from the people
by taxation, except so much as is reqnisite
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 taxal ion 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.
f»th. Economy in the administration of the
Government; the reduction of the standing
army and navy; the abolition of the freed
men’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 tho internal revenue, so that the
burden of taxation may be equalised and
lessened and the credit of the Government
and the currency made good; the fepeal of
all enactments for enrolling the State militia
into the national forces iu time of peace; a
tariff for revenue upon foreign imports, and
such equal taxatiou under the internal reve
nue laws as will afford incidental protection
i.o 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. Reform of abuses in administration; j
the expulsion of corrupt men from office; the j
abrogation of useless offices; the restoration
of rightful authority to, and the independ-1
encc of, the executive and 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 tho sword may cease.
8tb. Equal rights and protection for natu
abroad. The assertion of American nation
ality which shall command the respect of
foreign powers, furnish an example aud en
couragement to the people struggling for na
tional integrity, constitutional liberty and
undived rights, and the maintainancc of the
rights of naturalized citizens against the ab
solute doctrine of immutable allegiance and
the claims of foreign powers to punish them
for alleged crime committed beyond their ju
risdiction.
In demanding these measures and reforms
we 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 the main
tainance of the Gouerument and the preser
vation of the Union 'under ilie Constitution.
It has repeatedly violated the most sacred
pledge under ^rliich was rallied that noble
volunteer army which earned our flag to
victory.
Instead of restoring the Union, it has, so
far as in its power, dissolved it, and subject
ed ten States in time of profound peace, to
military despotism and negro supremacy.
U has nullified there the right of trial by
jury.
It has abolished the habeas corpus, that
most sacred writ of liberty.
It has overthrown the freedom of speech
and the press.
It has substituted arbitrary seizures and
arrests, and military trials and star chamber
inquisitions for constitutional tribunals.
It has disregarded in time of peace the
light of the people to be free from search and
seizure.
It has entered the postofliccs and telegraphy
offices, and even the private rooms of indi
viduals, and seized their private papers and
letters without any specification or notice of
affidavit, as required by the organio law.
It has converted the American capitol into
a hastile.
It has established a system of spies aud of
ficial espionage to which no monarchy of Eu
rope would now dare to resort.
It has abolished the right of appeal on im
portant constitutional questions to the su
preme judicial tribunals, and threatens to
control 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 his
high office to the support of the false and
partisan charges preferred against the Pres
. iJent,
Its corruption aud extravagance have ex
ceeded anything known in history by its
friends and monopolies.
It has nearly doubled the burden of debt
created during the war.
It has stripped the President of his consti
tutional power of appointmeut, even of his
own cabinet.
Under its repeated assaults the pillars of
ike Government are rocking on their base,
and, should it succeed in November next and
inaugurate its President, we will meet us a
subjugated aud conquered pcoplo amid the
ruins of liberty and the scattered fragments
of the Constitution.
And we do declare aud resolve:
That, ever since the people of the United |
tUales threw off all subjection to the British
crown, the privilege and trust of suffrage j
have belonged to the several States, and have
keen granted, regulated and controlled ex
clusively by lbe political power oi eacn oiate,
respectively, and any attempt by Congress,
on any pretext whatever, to deprive any State
of this right, or to interfere with this exer
cise, is a flagrant usurpation of power which
can fiud uo warrant in the Constitution, and
if sanctioned by the people, will subvert our
ibrm of government, and cau only end in a
single, centralized, consolidated government,
in which the separate existence of the States
will be entirely absorbed and an unqualified 1
despotism be established in the place of a
Federal Uuion of equal States,
That we regard the reconstruction acts of
Congress, so-called, and such usurpations, as
unconstitutional, revolutionary and void, and
that our eoldiers and sailors who carried the
flag of our country to victory, against a most
gallant and determined foe, must ever be
gratefully remembered, and all the guaran
tees giveu in their favor must be faithfully
carried iuto execution.
That the publio lands should be distributed
as widely among the people and should bo
disposed of, either under the pre-emption of
homestead lands, aud sold in reasonable
quantities, and to none but actual occupants
at the minimum price, as established by the
Government. When grants of the public
lauds may be allowed necessary for the en
couragement of important publio improve
ments, the proceeds of the sale of such lands,
and not the lands themselves, should be so
applied.
That the President of tho United 8tates,
Andrew Johnson, in exercising the power of
his high office in resisting the aggressions of
Congress on the Constitutional rights of the
8tates aud 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 his patriotio efforts in that
regard.
Upon 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 u« in the present great struggle
lor the liberties of the people, and that to all
such, to whatever party they may have be
longed heretofore, we extend the right hand
of fellowship, and hail all sueh co-operating
with us as friends and brothers.

From the Milwaukie, [WIs.] News ]
■low ElectloM are Carried tin
(he South.
Wo reccivod n call yesterday from a
icntloman direct from Arkausas, who
went to that state in January, 1867, as a
northern radical republican, and who was
ippointud to officiate there under tho
reconstruction laws as chairman of the
board of registry in the county where he
lived. His opportunities foT information
were therefore unsurpassed, and he makes
to us this plain statement of facts within
his personal knowledge :
"The elections held there were an utter
farce throughout. In making the registry
the registrars were expected to reject
white men at option, and to enroll every
negro who presented himself. After the
first registry tho lists were revised, and as
many names striken off as it was thought
necessary to secure a radical success in the
state( or for individual radical candidates.
There were three registrars on every
board, all of them, who dosired to become
so, were candidates for office. The elec
tion judges travelled about the country
taking the votes, and were occupied seven
days in t'he business. No mau could vote
whose ballot tho judges thought proper to
reject. Our informant states it to be
known to himself, and to be a notorious
fact, that where the success of the radical
candidates was doubtful through other
frauds of the character mentioned, negroes
were imported from another jurisdiction
in sufficient numbers to supply the de
ficiency. While the negro vote was thus
doubled in many cases, the total number
of white votes disfranchised in the state
were tcus of thousands. In electing
themselves or other radical candidates to
office, the registrars were amenable to no
authority that would recognize the fact of
fraud.
In brief, the work of carrying the
election regardless of the will of the
voters, was deemed by the registers a part
of their official duty, and a proof a loyalty
to congress and the military authorities
present, and any other course would have
subjected the registry officers to suspicion
and proscription. In the division of the
offices, candidates were elected to the
legislature who never saw tho counties
whence they wero chosen, except as mem
bers of the registry board, who will never
return to the counties they represent, and
who do not know a white man among
their constituents. As for the negroes,
the mass of them took no actual part in
me elections out iu uepusit me votes iur
nishcd them by their white radical loaders.
Our informant is a graduate of Geneva
college, a gentleman of recognized probity
and intelligence, and was always a repub
lican until driven from the party by sheer
disgust at the mockery he was compelled
to witness as one of its agents in the re
construction scheme. His name will be
furnished to any one who is curious on
that point. He tells us that he was offer
ed the position of a state senator, and that
he would have dividod the spoils with
others, who seem to relish the proceedings,
and do not hesitate to partake of the fruits
of the mockery and fraud ; but ho pre
ferred to live and die an honest man to
the acceptance of honors and emoluments
which he ean but regard as the price of
absolute crime against God and man. He
naturally wonders at the stupidity of those
northern republicans who seem to balieve
that these proceedings have any other ob
ject than the government of tho south,
and the nation also, by a regularly organ
ized system of fraud and force. If it is
the intent of northern republicans to assist
in degrading republican institutions and
obliterating popular rights, their ambition
ought to be satisfied; but otherwise they
are wofully blind to passing events, and
the demoralization of the institutions un
der which they live.
To Young Bleu.
To the young men that are rising up,
let me say a word. No better time than
now was ever known to cast your fortunes
with the Democratic party. It has seized
upon the great forward progressive issue.
Its history is full of glory in the past.
Faults it has had ; who has not P Parties
arc not infallible, any more than men, but
its banuor is one of proud renown. Sixty
odd years ago it took your country on the
inauguration of Jefferson. Under its lead
of progress, the map of empire has been
unrolled. State after State has been em
braced in its loving urms, star has blazed
out upon its flag, the Mississippi Valley
has been crossed, the Rocky Mountains
have been scaled and the colors of the
Democratio party planted on the coast of
the Pacific. But let us not seek the ven
geance of hate. The worst names recor
ded by history as illustrations of human
depravity, are those that, in tho hour of
victory, in a spirit of destr-ctiou. Whose
names so hateful as the Mariues, the
Negroes, the Scyllas, the Tiberius and
Robespicrrcs ? And hereafter when the
calm historian records the deeds of Butler,
the malignant; or Bingham, the persecutor
of woman, he will record them simply to
instruct tuc rising juutu wiiut e&Buipies
to avoid; and those that have taught
forgiveness and reconciliation in this hour,
in the spirit of the great Master of the
skies, will be spoken of as statesmen, and
the bencfuctors of mankind.—Speech of
Dan Voorhecs, at New Albany, Ind.
Georgia to Louisiana.—Apropos,
the inauguration of the Radical States
government, the’Maoou, Ga., Journal and
Messenger exclaims:
‘•Unfortunate little Louisiana! Ten
years ago sou were one of the most bril
liant jewels in the American Union.
Your plantations were Edens of beauty,
luxury aud wealth. Your children were
of the highest type of all the descendants
of the Latin raoes. Coming down from
the French, and they from the Romans,
you could boast of blood which governed
the world when Augustine’s footfalls
echoed through the corridors of the palaces
of the Caesars.
Hannibal and bis minions have indeed
despoiled your laud and sacked your city,
and you Lave no noble old Cato to cry
Delenda est Carthago.” But you have
the warm, gushing sympathy of every
Southerner who, like you, is now writhing
under the galling ohains of au infamous
despotism.
That Radical Howl—The Rads are
uakiug jackasses of themselves by howling
iver the presence of Forrest, Wade Harnp
ou and other rebel soldiers in the Demo
:ratic Convention- As if that were not
.he very thing the American people have
>een longing for since Lee laid down his
irms at Appomattox Courthouse, and
jrant declared the loyalty of the South
genuine and complete.
Do these noodles suppose the American
people want a Union restored with the
Southern leaders left out ? Do they sup
pose it can be restored if they are left out,
or that their places can be filled by blacks,
carpet-baggers and traitors to both North
and South, like Joe Brown, of Georgia, at
rhic.--.gn— [N Y World
