DEMOCRATIC t'LATI'OKM.
The Democratic party in national conven
tion asserobled, reposing its trust in the in
telligence, patriotism and discriminating jus
tice of the people, standing upon the Consti
tution a* the foundation mi limitation of the
powers of the Government and the guarantee
of the liberties of the citisen, and -recognis
ing the questions of slavery end 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 peaoe, 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 the ;past -political
"(Tenses and the regulation of the elective
franchise in the States by their citiiens; the
payment of the public debt of the United
States aa rapidly as practioable.
3d. All tho money drawn from the people
by taxation, excqpt so 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 they
shall be paid in coin, they ought in right and
justice bo paid in the lawful money of the
United Stales.
1th. Equal t axation of every spooies of pro
perty according to Its real value, inoluding
Government bonds and other publio securi
ties.
6th. One currency for the Government and
tho people, the laborer and the office-holders,
the producer and the bond-holder.
fith. Economy in the administration of the
Government; the reduction of the standing
army and navy; the abolition of the freed
tneu’s bureau, and all political instrumentali
ties designed to secure negro supremacy;
simplification o/ the system, and discontinu
ance of inquisitorial hoards ot assessing and
collecting the internal revenue, so that the
burden of taxation may be equalixed and
• lessened and the credit of the Government
tind tho currency made good; the repeal of
all enactments for enrolling the State militia
into the national forces in time of peace; a
tariff for revesuo upon foreign imports, and
such equal taxation under the internal reve
nue laws as will afford incidental protection
to domes! io 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.
7tli. Reform of abuses in administration;
Abo expulsion of corrupt men from office; the
abrogation of useless offices; the restoration
of rightful authority to, and the independ
ence of, the executive and judicial depart
ments of the Government; the subordination
of the military to the civil power, to the end
that, the nuirimtuns nf tlnnirrANR and the
•despotism of the sword may cease.
8th. Equal rights and protection for natu
ralized and native-born citizens at homo 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 maintainanoe 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 au<1 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 maia
tainance of the Gouernmeut and the preser
vation of the Union under the Constitution.
It has repeatedly violated the most sacred
pledge under 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 teu States in time of profound peace, to
military despotism and negro supremacy.
It has nullified there the right of trial by
jury.
U has abolished the habeas corpus, tbat
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
right of the people to be free from search and
seizure.
It has entered the postoffiecs 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 bns converted the American capitol into
a bast ile.
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 because he would not prostitute his
high office to the support of the false and
partisan charges preferred against the Pres
ident.
Its corruption and 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.
Untlnw ita emianfml noannlfa ilia nillnra nf
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 conquered people amid tho
ruins of liberty and the scattered fragments
of the Constitution.
And we do declare and resolve:
That, ever since the people of the United
8tates threw off all subjection to the British
crown, tho privilege and trust of suffrage
have belonged to the several States, ami 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 powor which
can find no warrant in the Constitution, and
if sanctioned by the people, will subvert our
form of government, and can only end in a
single, centralized, consolidated government,
in which the separate existence of the States
will be entirely absorbed and an unqualified
despotism be established iu the place of a
Federal Union of equal States.
That we regard the reconstruction acts of
Congress, so-called, aud such usurpations, as
unconstitutional, revolutionary and void, and
that our soldiers and sailors who carried the
flag of our oouutry to victory, against a most
gallant and determined foe, must ever be
gratefully remembered, and all the guaran
tees given 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, aud to none but actual occupants
at the minimum price, as established by the
Government. Wheu grants of the public
lands may be allowed necessary for the en
couragement of important public 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 States,
Andrew Johnson, in exercising the power of
his high office in resisting the aggressions of
Cougress on the Constitutional rights of tho
States and the people, is entitled to the grat
itude of the whole American people, aud 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, and all who desire to
support the Constitution and restore the Un
ion, forgetting all past differences of upluion,
to unite with us iu 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.

Geaeral Elisa aad Her Army.
The (statement that Lopes was arming
! the Paraguayan women to protect bis
communications and defend his frontiers
is given in a letter to the New York Her
i aid. They number four thousand and are
, under command of Brigadier General Eli
I za Lynch.
“Her headduarters arc in rear of the
| principal ford across the Tobicuari, the
immediate defence of that pass being en
trusted to Lieutcnant-Colonclcss Marguer

with their commands of women, while a

charged with die duty of guarding the
country and forwarding snppliea to the

great internal arsenals. Thus the disput
ed story, of the Amazonian nation living
on the south side of the great river Ama
zon, ir about to bo realized apoo the great
river of La Plata, and the world is going
to see men and women pitted against each
other by the so called civilized nations in
South America."
Grant Anxious tebea Dictator.
A prominent officer of the Union army,
while driving with a friend a few days
since, took occasion to cnlegizo some of
the characteristics of Grant, deolaring that
the American people did not understand
him. “I saw” said this officer “a groat
deal of him during the war, and know all
his strong and weak points.” “But,"
asked one of the party, “do you think he
is the right man to elect President of the
United States?” To this the Union offi
cer replied: “That depends upon circum
stances. If the people desire military
rule, Grant should be elected; tor, from
my knowledge of the man, I will stake
my repuiauuu uu mu preuiuuuu tutu n m;
is elected he will proclaim himself Dicta
tor twelve months after he is sworn into
office." This is the opinion of a Union
soldier who held close personal relations
with Grant during the greater portion of
the late war.—N. Y. World.
“Hadn’t Time to Fool with Sol
diers.’’—In 1864, a private by the name
of Moore, of Indianapolis, Indiana, ehen
serving in the army of the Potomac, ob
tained leave of absence and transportation
home to attend the funcaal of his child.
In Washington he was robbed of his
transportation papers, and not having
time to return to his regiment to secure
others, he called upon Schuyler Colfax,
then member of Congress from that State,
requesting him to lend him money enough
to pay his way out, offering him as secur
ity, a gold watch worth threo times the
amount of money he needed. The would
be Vice-President looked at him awhile
as if wondering what right a poor privato
had to call upon him, then turning to the
paper he was reading, Bimply remarked:
“I have no timo to fool with soldiers.”
And this was all—all that the loyal
Congressman, new mongrel candidate for
Vice-President, had to say in response to
the request of the private soldier, who
was trying to got homo to sec for the last
time a dear dead child. “No time to fool
with soldiers.” Not even a civil word, not
a sympathetic look, not even common res
pect for the bereaved father. Perhaps
now, when he wants tho votes of the brave
men who stood the Brunt of the battle, he
will have a little “time to fool with sol
diers.”
What we Have Learned and
What we Have Forgotten.
The Radical press seem to be especially
delighted in the assertion that the Democ
racy liavo neither learned or forgotten
anything. If thereby they mean to say—
and they cannot mean anything else—that
we have not forgotten a single point of
their own infamous policy, end that we
have learned nothing of their still more
infamous practices, they are perfectly
right. What they want us to forget, wo,
on the contrary, expect to remember until
we havo driven them from all their posi
lions; and what they want us to learn
should be forever stricken out of the
memory of the American people, if we
could obliterate it. The American peo
ple will never forget their despotic rnlc.
We will repeat it to the day of their j
judgment, that the Republican party tried
to destroy all the liborties of the people;
that it instituted military courts in times
of peace; invented the most degrading
test oaths; inaugurated arbitrary trials and
the meanest system of ospoinage; that
they made the millions labor exclusively
to support a class of the corruptcst politi
cal gamblers that ever degraded any na
tion, and that they crowned their infamy
by superceding civilisation, and placing a
barbarous race over those States that gave
the greatest patriots and statesmen to our
common country.
We certainly do not think of forgetting
a particle of the whole registers of their
crimes. Neither will we learn how to
gag the press; how to imprison innocent
men merely lor the difTerenco of opinion,
or bow to disregard the least of all their
rights appertaining lawfully to every citi
zen of the United States.—Missouri Re
publican.

The political complexion of the Citiaen
is white—opposed to negro suffrage and*a

opposing them shall advocate the principle
that white men should rule white men.
In times of great political danger every
man should take a paper, and it is more
than probable that the present year will
