DUMOCRiTXC PLATFORM.
The Democratic party in national conven
tion assembled, reposing it* trust in the in
telligence, patriotism and discriminating jus
tice of the people, standing upon the Consti
tution as the foundation and limits! ion of the
powers of the'Government and the guarantee
of the liberties of the citizen, nnd recogniz
ing the questions of sin very and secession as
having been settled for aft 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 orreagita
fed, do, with the roturn of peace, dam trod—
1st. Immediate restoration of all fbe States
to their rights in the Union under the ‘Con
stitution, and of civil government to the
American people.
2d. The amnesty for all the past political
offenses and the regulation of the elective
franchise in the States by their citizens; the
payment of the prblic debt of the United
Elates as rapidly as.practicable.
3d. All the money drawn from the people
by taxation, e-rcept so wtioh ns 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.
4>th. 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
nriny and navy; the abolition of the freed -
men’s bureau, and all political instrumentali
ties designed to secure negro supremacy;
amplification of the system, and discontinu
ance of inquisitorial boards of assessing nnd
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; the repeal of
all enactments for enrolling the State militia
into the national forces Ju time of peace; a
tariff fur revenue upon foreign imports, nnd
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 nnd encourage
the great industrial interests of the country.
7th. lleform 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
ence of. the executive nnd iudicial depart
mcnts of the Government: the subordination
of the military to the civil power, to the end
ihnt 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
fore’gn powers, furnish an example and en
‘ courageftient to the people struggling for na
tional integrity, constitutional liberty and
tmdived rights, and the inaintninancc of the
rights of naturalized citizens against the ab
solute docitrwie of liuni.v!*nhJe allegiance and
f hecJiucus of foreign powers to them
Tor 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 canoer after the most solemn and unani
mous pledge of both houses of Congress to
prosecute the war exclusively for the mnin
tainance of the Gouernnjcnt and the preser
vation of the Union under the Constitution.
It has repeatedly violated the most sacred
pledge tinner which was rallied that noble
volunteer army which carried our dag to
victory.
Instead of restoring the Union, it has. so
far as in its power, dissolved it, and subject
ed ten N’latos in time of profound peace, to
military despotism and negro supremacy.
Julias nullified there the right of trial by
jury,
It has abolished the habeas corpus, that
most sacred writ of liberty.
J? has overthrown the freedom of speech
niid the press.
It lias substituted arbitrary seizures and
arrests, and military trials and star chamber
inquisitions for constitutional tribunals.
It lias disregarded in time of peace the
right of the people to bo free from search and
•seizure.
It has entered the post offices and telegraph
"fliccs, and even tlie private rooms of indi
viduals, and seized their private papers and
letters without any specification or notice of
affidavit, as required by the organic law.
It has converted the American capitol into
a bast-iie,
Ji h*s 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 lot rued Chief Justice has been
subjected to great and atrocious calumnies,
merely because lie would not prostitute his
high office to the support of the false and
partisan ebargos preferred against the Pres
i dent,
Its corruption and extravagance have ex
ceeded anything known in history by its
friends and monopolies.
It lias nearly doubled the burden of debt
created during the war.
Jt has stripped the President of his consti
tutional power of appointment, even of his
own cabinet.
Under its repeated assaults the pillars of
the Government are rocking on their base
and, ehould it succeed in November next and
inaugurate its President, we will meet ns a
subjugated and conquered people amid the
ruins of liberty and the scattered fragments
of the Constitution.
anu nr uu on inivuim
That, ever since the people of the United
Siatcs threw oft' all subjection to the British
rown. tbo privilege ami trust of suffrage
have belonged to the several States, nnd have
been granted, regulated nnd controlled ex
clusively by the political power of each Slate,
i speunveiy, and any attempt by Congress,
on any pretext whatever, to deprive any State
«~-f this right, or to interfere with this cxer
ci e, is a fiagrant usurpation of power which
can find no warrant in the Constitution, nnd
if sanctioned by the people, will subvert our
form of government, and can only end in n
single, centralized, consolidated government,
iu which the separate existence of the States
will be entirely absorbed nnd an unqualified
despotism be established iu the place of a
Federal Union of equal States.
That we regard the reconstruction acts ot
Congress, so-called, ami such usurpations, ns
unconstitutional, revolutionary and void, and
Hint our soldiers nnd sudors who carried the
ting 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 he 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 hut 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 proceed.-* of the sale of such lands,
and not the lauds themselves, should be so
applied.
That the President of the United States,
Andrew Johnson, in exercising the power ot j
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 his patriotic efforts in that
regard.
Upon this platform the Democratic party
appeals lo 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
tor the liberties of the people, and that to all
ouch, to whatever party they may have be
longed heretofore, we extend the right hand
of fellowship, and hail all such co operating
with qs as friends and brothers.

From the Louisville Courier ]
Grant and bis Indian*.
Grant is gone to the extreme West on
a pleasure jaunt, and probably to look af
ter his Indian relations.
Speech of Spotted Tail to Hiram—
“Arc you net a man and a brother-in
law?” ,
About a doecn little boys marched up
Jefferson street yesterday, each with a flag
inscribed, “Grant and Colfax.” There
was one little nig along, but “narry” In
dian.
Grant's friends claim that he is For
paying off the bonds in gold. He was,
perhaps, making provisions for coin when
he went to California and established a
little “digger.”
Sumner insists on having n a cere in
the United States Senate, while Grant
has ostensibly no negro policy, but con
tents himself with Indian on the staff.
If Anna Dickinson, Susan B. Anthony,
and other maidens so solicitous for pos
terity, ever get a voice in public matters
they should go for Sumner for President
by all means. He has no “baby record,”
Indian or otherwise.
Grant’s friends contend that he has
gono to the frontier to settle the Indian
question. We suppose he will extermin
ate the men and turn the squaws over to
his side.
Of all the “lives” written of Grant,
that attempted by his father in the New
Vork Ledger is the most damaging. I5e:
tween his pap and his papoose, the Gene
ral is likely to have a hard time of it.
The frontier Indians are accustomed to
call the President of the United States
their “great father.” Should Grant be
elected some of thqpi will have a great
grandfather, if Anna Dickinson is right
about “Indian baby records.”
If Grant could ride as well ns a monkey
“when he was about twelve years old,” it
seems to us that his Indian relatives ought
| to make good cavalry. But Miss Dickin
| son insists that they were infantry. Was
it a Comanche, Anna?
Wendell Phillips demands that we shall
“inaugurate the aristocracy of brains” by
electing colored Congressmen.—Exchange.
But Wendell and Grant could never
agree about the color. The first would
insist on unadulterated nig, while Grant
I would prefer a mild copper color.

Bg^,The following hit from the Chicago
Times is very good :
A Radical newspaper concern in this
city propounds the weighty question,
“Whether, when a man becomes insane,
his mind is affected!” It depends a good
deal on who the man is. If he be a truly
loyal member of tho Jacobin party, it
would probably bo correct to Fay that in
sanity would not affect his mind in the
least, but would rather indicate its normal
condition.

Best Family Paper in Arkansas.
The Citizen is presented to the people
of Arkansas as largo in form as any Dem
ocratic weekly in the State. Although
independent in all things, and neutral in
nothing, it is emphatically a
FAMILY NBYTSFAFBF.,
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 numbers.
The political complexion of the 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 erreat 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 by joining in
and making up clubs, and they will there
by render it a powerful auxiliary in their
warfare against hateful negro suffrage and
the many other evils the Radical party
design thrusting upon the State.
