DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Tho Democratic party in national conven
tion assembled, reposing its trust in the in
telligence, patriotism and discriminating jus
tice of the people, standing upon IheOonsli
tution ns «lie foundation and limitation of the
venters of the Government aud the^uarantec
of the liberties of the citizen, and recogniz
ing the questions of slavery and secession as
having beeu settled for all time to come by
the war or the voluntary action of the South
tHPt'fitales in constitutional convention as
sembled, and never to be renewed orreagita
4.ed, do. with the return of peace, demand—
1 ?t. immediate restorat ion of all the States
to their rights in the Union under the Con
stitution, and of civil govcmuiexrt to the
American people.
2d. The amnesty for all the past political
offenses and tho 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.
3d. All tho 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
sfcp.ll 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 for the Government and
the people, the laborer and the office-holders,
tho 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
mefl's bureau, and all political instrumentali
ties designed to secure negro supremacy;
simplification of the system, and discontinu
ance of inquisitorial beards 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; the repeal of
all enactments for enrolling the State militia
into tho 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 t ho revenue, impose tho least bur
den upon and best promote and encourage
the g*eat industrial interests of the country.
7tli. Reform of abuses in administration;
(lie expulsion of oorrupt 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 usurpations of Congress and the
despotism of the sword may cease.
Bin. JBiquni rigntB ana protection iur 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 maintainance 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 inain
tainance of the Gouernment 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 tlag to
victory.
Instead of restoring the Union, it has, so
fnT as in its power, dissolved it, and subject
ed ten States in lime of profound peace, to
military despotism and negro supremacy.
Tt lias 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.
li has entered the postofiices and telegraph
■offices, and even the private rooms of indi
viduals, and seized their private papers and
letters without auy specification or notice of
affidavit, as required by the organic law.
It has converted the American capital into
^ bast lie.
it has established a system of spies and of
ficial espiouage 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 tho 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 bis ;
high office to the support of the false and i
partisau charges preferred against the Pres
ident
ity 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 Btripped 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, I
and, should it succeed in November next and ]
inaugurate its President, wo will meet as a
subjugated and conquered people amid the
ruins of liberty and the scattered fragments
of the Constitution.
And wre do declare and resolve:
That, ever since the people of the United
States threw off all subjection to the British
crown, the privilege and trust of suffrage
Iiava ltAhmirpil tn i.lui several States, and have
been granted, regulated and eon trolled 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 (hie exer- ;
citse, is a Hag rant usurpation of power which I
can fiud no wuirant in the Constitution, ami j
if sanctioned by the people, will subvert our
form of government, and can only eml in a
single, centralised, consolidated government,
in which the separate existence of the States
will be entirely absorbed and an unqualified
despotism be established in the place of a i
Federal Union of equal States.
That we regard the reconstruction acts 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, against a most
gallant and determined foe, must ever be
gratefully remembered, and ull 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, and to none but actual occupants
at the minimum price, as established by the
Government. When 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.
Th^J, the President of the United States,
Andrew Johnson, in exercising the power of
his high office in resisting the aggressions of
Congress on the Constitutional rights of the
State** and the people, is entitled to the grat
itude of the whole American people, und on
behalf of the Democratic party we tender hiui
our thanks for his patriotic efforts in that
regard.
Upon this platform the Democratic party
appeals to every patriot, includiug all the
conservative element, and all who desire to
support the Constitution and restore the Un
ion, forgeuiug nil pant 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 exteud the right hand
of fellowship, and hail all such co-operating
with uk as friends and brothers.

The Mercantile PtoIunIob.
The tendency of so many of out young
men to rush into mercantile life is one of
the saddest omens of the times. Our
youth, and especially those who are
brought up in cities, dazzled by the glare
which environs ft successful merchant,
seem to think that, if they can only em
bark in business, their fortuno is made.
They have little or no comprehension of
the qualities which combine to make a
merchant successful. In a business which
has been long established, and whereof the
details have become a matter of routine,
anybody who possesses paticnco, industry
and perseverance can succeed. But to
build up a new business, and assume an
independent position in the commercial
world, requires talents of tho very highest
order, and pertinacity which is not de
manded of any other profession. Our
young men seem to think that, if they con
lease a store and fill it with goods, they are
on the highway to fortune. No greater
mistake was ever committed. As a prere
quisite to their commercial operations, they
need to understand the laws of political
eoonomy, and the financial laws which
control business operations. These must
be learned from books or from practical
mercantile life. The latter process is slow
and requires much time and attention.
The former is incomplete without the lat
ter.
The mercantile ranks are overcrowded.
The reason of this is obvious. Young
men arc apt to look at results only. They
perceive, here and there, a millionaire,
who appears to them to have nmassed his
wealth with little or no effort. They sup
pose that if they can embark in trade the
same results will follow their operations,
but, in nine cases out of ten, they are
doomed to disappointment. Trade is not
remunerative to the majority of those who
embark in it. On the contrary, it pays
less to its dovotecs than those of any other
rlnrivr* from t.llfiir TOaiM-'CtivC
brandies of labor. True it is, a few of
our traders amass colossal fortunes. But
bow is it with the remainder? Years ago
a noted collector of customs in Boston,
took pains to look over the commercial
career of the merchants of that city, and
he found that, of the business men of the
"hub of the universe,” but three per
centum of the whole pursued a commer
cial career from the commencement to the
close of their lives without failures. Com
pared with this result, what avocation is
so disastrous? Aud should uot such a
fact warn our young men to act prudently
in their choice of an occupation?
Our young men cannot he too promptly
disabused ol' the idea that tho mercantile
profession is one of ease and pleasure.
They ought to know that the mind of tho
successful merchant is continually kept
upon the stretch, even to its utmost ten
sion. Without this, success is impossible
And when success is achieved, tho ques
tion still arises, whether this extreme ten
sion of the mind has not disqualified the
merchant to enjoy tho wealth which he
has accumulated.
Wc wish we could divert tbe attention
of our young men to tho forest and the
field. Nature is only too willing to second
their efforts to produce the necessaries of
life. Tho manual labor required to make
a successful farmer, however hard it may
appear, is nothing, when compared with
the mental effect which is required of the
successful business man. Aud the far
mer has this advantage, that he can enjoy
the results of Ills labor, whi.e on the road
to competence, if not to wealth. The
merchant is always in a feverish, anxious
state of mind. Everything connected
with his avocation is precarious. The
meteorological condition of the elements
threatens to produce too full or too scanty
crops. Wars and rumors of wars constan
tly create uueasiness in regard to liis
investments. Tho financial policy of tbe
government, never so doubtful as at tbe
present time, perplexes and disturb him
Compared with this state of mind,
which every successful merchant experi
ences, the farmer and the mechanic enjoy
an clysiuiu. And yet tho proportion of
tho people who enter the last two avoca
tions is so small that tho necessaries of
lift* nrr» rtinitllv iroffinrr wit limit tlw» roni'll
of the multitude In a word the consumers
preponderate far too much over the produ
cors. While this state of things exists,
we can have nothing like a healthy condi
tion of society. Let us reform ull this.
Teach our young men that the best and
noblest occupation of life is to wrest from
mother earth what she will so willingly
yield for the sustenance of her subjects.
Lot manual labor take the place of men
tal, to a much greater degree than is uow
observable. We do not advocate the neg
lect of the mental powers, but we should
remember that we have muscle ns well as
minds The cultivation of the latter at
the expense of the former is the bane ol
the present generatiou. Wo must retrace
our steps, or our successors will be dwarfed
in mind as well as body ; and the first step
forward must be to induce our youug men
to enter athletic avocations, and vindicate
their title to manliness by their efforts in
the workshop or the field.
jRay*Two lloosier belles wore recently
driving in a buggy on a plank road near
Indianapolis, and on being asked for toll,
inquired:
“How much is it?’’
“For a man and horse," replied the
<ate-keepor, “it is fifty cento.”
“Well, then, get out of the way, for wc
ire gals and a mare. Get up, Jenny!”
And away they wont, leaving the man in
mute astonishment.

The Citizen is presented to the people

independent in all things, and neutral in
nothing, it is emphatically a
FAMILY ITaWBPAPSP,
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 bo 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 prinoiplc
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
witness more political excitement and ex
traordinary political events than any pre
vious one of our nationality. Let the
people assist tho Citizen by joining in
and making up clubs, and they will there
by render it a powerfal atitiTiary in theii
Warfare against hateful negro suffrage and
the many other evils the Radical party
design thrusting upon the State.
