DEMOCRiTfC PLATFORM.
The Bemocratic party in national conven-’
lion ussembled, reposing ito trnat in the in
telligence, patriotism and discriminating jus
tice of the people, standing upon the Consti
tution as ttoe foundation and limitation pf the
powers of the Government and 4he guarantee
of the liberties of the citizen, and recogniz
ing the questions «vf slavery and secession as
having been settled for all time to ©eme by
the war er the voluntary action of the South
ern States in constitutional convention as
sembled, and never to be renewed orreagita
tod, do, with the return of peace, demand—
l*t. Immediate restorat ion of all the States
4o their rights in the Union under the Con
stitution, and of civil government to the
American people.
2d. The amnesty foT all the past political
offenses and the regulation of the elective
franchise in the States by their citizens; the
p&ysuent of the public debt of the United
States as rapidly as practicable.
fid. All the money drawn from the people
by taxation, except 60 much as is requisite
for the necessities of the Government, econ
omically administered, being honestly ap
plied to such payment, and whore 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 ^iey
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.
6th. One currency wr the Government and
the people, the laborer and the office-holders,
the producer and the bond-holder.
6th. Economy in the administration of the
Government; the reduction of the standing
army and navy; the abolition of the freed
nieu’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; tlio repeal of
all enactments for enrolling the Stale militia j
into the national forces iu 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 ,
impnhing 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;
the expulsion of corrupt men from office; the ;
abrogation of useless offices; the restoration
of rightful authority to, and the independ- j
ence of, the executive and judicial depart-j
ments of the Government; the subordination
that the usurpations of Congress and the
despotism of the sword may cease.
Sth. Equal rights and protection for natu
ralized and 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
un.lived rights, and the niaintainancc of the
rights of naturalized citizens against the ab
solute doctrine of immutable allegiance and
the cluims 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 tyrunny 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 Gouernment and the preser
vation of the Union under the Constitution.
It has repeatedly violated the most sacred
pledge unaer which was rallied that noble
volunteer army which carried our Hag 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.
It 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.
Jt has substituted arbitrary seizures and
■arrests, and military trials and star chamber
inquisitions for constitutional tribunals.
It. has disregarded in time of peace the
right of the people to be free from search and
seizure.
It has entered the postoffices and telegraph
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 iuto
n b&stile.
It has established a system of spies and 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 bectvuse he would not prostitute his
high office to the support of the false and
partisan charges preferred against the Free
ident,
Its comsytvon eud 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 appointment, even of his
own cabinet.
Under its repented assaults the pillars of
the Government are rocking on their base,
and, should it succeed in November next and
inaugurate its President, we will meet as a
subjugated and conqueved people amid the
ruins of liberty and the scattered fragments
of the Constitution.
Ami ilii ib'ftlftre and resolve:
That, ever since the people of the United j
States threw off all subjection to the Britis'i
crown, the privilege and trust of suffrage
have belonged to the several States, and have :
been granted, regulated and controlled ex
clusively by the political power of each State,
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 find no warrant in the Constitution, and
if sanctioned by the people, will subvert our
form of government, and can only end iu a
single, centralized, consolidated government,
iu which the separate existence of the States
will be entirely absorbed and an unqualified
despotism be established in the place of a
Federal Union of equal States.
That we regard the reconstruction acts of
Congress, so-called, and such usurpations, as
unconstitutional, revolutionary and void, aud
that our soldiers 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 given iu their favor must be faithfully
carried into execution.
That the public lands should be distributed
us widely among the people and should be
disposed of, cither under the pre-emption of
homestead lands, and sold iu 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 public improve
ments, the proceeda'Cf the sale of such lauds,
and not the lands themselves, should be so
applied.
That the President of the United States,
Andrew Johnson, in exercising the power of
his high office iu resisting the aggressions of
Congress on the Constitutional rights of the
States 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 patriotic efforts in that
regard,
Upon this platform the Democratic party
appeals to every patriot, including all the
conservative element, aud 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
for 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 such co-operating
with us as friends and brothers.
gfcgr Aii editor says of his new paper, |
that it looks as clean ns a school-marm
in a hath ins/ tub.
Clerk or Pr«W»»t.
Grant, in his letter of acceptance, said
he would, if elected, have no policy in
opposition to congress. He will be the
clerk or constable of that body. He will
be the instrument to carry its designs io
ta execution. Tho question with the
voters of the country is whether they
will sustain the present corrupt and wick
ed congress. A large majority of its
members will be renominated by the par
ty in power, and, if the Jacobins carry
the election, the next congress will bo
substantially the same as the present one.
Were Grant a statesman with enlarged
views, and a comprehensive mind stored
with facts concerning tho wants and actual
condition of the country, his experience
and knowledge would not be of any bene
fit to the nation should he be elected.
He says he will, as president, be merely
the agent of congress. He will he a jump
ing-jack in the haads of a faction. He
has not the will or capacity to form a
policy and attempt to carry it out’ His
doubling as a politician has placed him in
the hands of the extreme men of the party
in power. What they command, he stands
ready to execute. Such men as Sumner,
and Wilson, and Chandler, in the senate,
and Bingham, and Logan, and Schenck,
in the house, will control him, because
they control congress. They fashion its
legislation, and are responsible for all the
evils the country has suffered from the
corruption and mismanagement of the
ruling party.
Grant’s proclamation, that he will not
in anything oppose congress, or presume
to have a will of his own, is in fact, an
assertion that the presidential office ought
not to he anything more than a strictly
executive one, to which no more responsi
bility attaches than to tho office of sheriff
or clerk in a court. Since congress first
met under the administration of Andrew
Tnlinonn ltd nrinolnnl KllCinoea t M-'f* n

to be little and degrade the presidential
office. It has stripped him of his powers
as commander-in-ehief. It has divided
his authority with the general of the army.
It has taken from him the appointing
power. It has taken from him control of
his cabinet. It has passed laws over his
veto without debate; and has tried, by all
means its ingenuity could devise, to incul
cate the opinion that it was criminal for
the president to attempt to carry out a
policy lie had formed.
Grant accepts the degrading view of the
office presented by congress. He says the
executive department ought not to he an
independent, co ordinate branch of the
government. He aspires to the position
which lias been occupied by the bt^t and
ablest men of the nations, not that he may,
as they did, propose policies to congress,
but bo a puppet in its hands, acting its
pleasures and executing its will, however
criminal it may be.
Is not this a very narrow and con
temptible view of the presidency in a man
who respeots himself, and is familiar with
the history of the country, and wishes to
be elected to that office V No intelligent
person will say that it was the idea of the
authors of the constitution. In making
him commander-in-chief; in giving him
the pardoning, appointing, and veto power;
in authorizing him to conveue congress on
extraordinary occasions, and to recommend
such measures as ho shall judgo necessary
and expedient,—the purpose is apparent
to make the office one of high responsi
bility and authority.
The present congress, in contempt of
this purpose, and in contempt of the plain
letter of the constitution, has made war
on the executive department, and has
attempted to reduco the president to
nothingness. With proper spirit, he has
resisted the aggression; and Grant has
condemned him for it. Mr. Johnson, in
defending his lawful powers, has defended
the constitution. If Grant’s idea of the
duties of a president be correct, the office
is one which can be as well filled by a
machine as a man. lie has helped con
gress to reduce it to this low and pitiable
condition, and now thinks he would be
honored in the occupancy of the place he
lias tried to degrade and make contempti
ble- Do we want a president who is
statesman enough to suggest measures of
public policy, or do wo want a mere con
gressional clerk calling himself president ?

B©“No matter whom we were for on
yesterday, wo are now for Seymour and
Blair They revive in us memories of
days when freedom was freedom, when
law was law, when tho Union was a bless
ing and a joy, and the flag something other
than a drop-curtain hung up before the
eyes of a credulous section in order to con
ceal nets of usurpation, oppression, and
wrong. All over this broad and fair Re

organisation. We have a platform. We
have leaders. No more cringing to the
cowardly persecutor. No more efforts to
conciliate a brutal herd of plundering
bond-holders. It is now a square fight
and a fair fight beforo the people and tho
ballot-box for a final settlement of tho
past, and a final adjustment of the future.

The Citizen is presented to the people
of Arkansas as large in form as any Dem

independent in all things, and neutral in
nothing, it is emphatically a
PAMI1T NSTP’BP.&.PSP,
And now ranks as one of the first in the
State. The greatest care will be taken to
make its selections choice and instructive.
A new feature will soon be added by pub
lishing a story each week, or if too long,
running it through two or three number*.
The political complexion of tho Citizen
is white—opposed to negro suffrage and a
score of other Radical tenets, and while
opposing them shall advocate the principle
that white men should rule white men.
In times of gTeat political danger every
man should take a paper, and it is more
than probable that the present year will
witness more political excitement and ex
traordinary political events than any pre
vious one of our nationality. Let the
people assist the citizen Dy joining in
and making up clubs, and they will there
by render it a powerful auxiliary in their
warfare against hateful negro suffrago and
the many other evils the Radical party
design thrusting upon the State.
