Eighth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and re. fret tho accession of Andrew Johnson to the 'residency, who has acted treacherously to Un people who elected him nnd the cnuso he was pledged to support ; has usurped legislative and judicial functions, has refined to execute the laws; has used his high olllce to Induce oilier olllcers to Ignore nnd violate the laws; has cm ployed his executive power to render Insecure the prosperity, peace, liberty, nnd life ofthe ctt lens has abused the pardoning power; has denounced the national Legislature as uncon stitutional; has persistently and corruptly re istcd, by every means In his power.evcry prop ernttempt at the reconstruction ot Ihe states lately In roliellloti ; has perverted the public pa tronage Into an engine of wholesale corruption, and has been Justly Impeached for high crimes nnd mlsilornennors, and properly pronounced Utility by the votes of thirty-live Senators.

THE CONFERENCE. The 24th District Conference met in Pittsburgh Tuesday of last week, and after three days balloting amounting in all to more than 190 ballots, they adjourned, without a nomination, to meet aet Tuesday at tho same place. Each county itood out for its candi date and ech recaived three votes Buocessively. The conferees from the respective counties have surely shown enough fidelity to instructions to satisfy even tho most inveterate croaker that they arc men who could not be bought or would sell a constituency. But with all they have failed to nominate. Tiie ' intercut of, the party, tho state and - the country, demand that a noraioa sation be made, Let each of the con , area resolve thai a nomination shall to made and that they .will make it ! they believe tlie people of tlieir re- spcctlrcr coon tics would do were they present acting for tbetmelres. With tb' determination wbea the Confer ence meets again, two. or three bal lots will be sufficient to secure a nom ination. Faction not ao strong nor nntriotisra so weak amongst Republi cans, but that the great mass of the party will clicernilly ratify their ac tion. Only let tho selection bo made with reference to our best interest. In tho event of tho impossibility of Capt. Donley being nominated the injus tice of which it is to be hoped will dawn upon the minds of delegates from sister counties it will bo the province of our delegates to select the man most eligible and who can benefit us most from locality. This may be construed as our second choice whfti really we have none other than our candidate and tho county's nest best interest. We leave it to our delegates to say who it shall be, trusting it is plain enough. A failure to nominate will work in juriously to tho party, district, state and country. Conferees who fail to exhibit a capacity to do anything, will not increase their reputation as business .men. We therefore beseech you ono and all to riso above mere preferences and prejudices and go for the good of your country, tho whole country and all will be well. WHY M ITT Why is it that for tho Inst three months there has been a continued and persistent effort made to bring reproach on the Federal government for its con duct ofthe war, and to laud the rebel government for its deportment in tho same? There has been a revival of this matter. No statement is too ab surd, no falsehood too plain for pub lication. The Mewnger is right Kcal ous in thissort of work. Abnostevcry week it commends somo murderer, gambler, or guerilla, who was punish ed by the Federal government for his offences, and denounces the men who suffered at rebel hands. Week before last it published another batch of those falsehoods, in tho attempt to prove General Grant responsible for the mur der of our prisoners at Anderson ville. We arc not surprised nt such charges at such times and from such sources, but we should think they would take for r'u:ijcct matter points less -controvertible by history. We have an ugly habit of preserving official docu ments, and among those which we have, is a letter from Robert Ould, rebel agent of exchange to General Winder, keeper of Liby prison, from which wo take extracts showing the rebel policy of exchange inhuman, and rightly pntastopto oy uoncrai urani s order, fleyond this no words are needed to show up the falsity of the charge: City Point, March 17, 18(13.

Also, state whether you think, under all circumstances, they should bo released. Tte arrangement I have made leorks largely in our favor. We GET KID OF A SET OF MISERABLE WRETCHES, AND RECEIVE 80ME OF THE REST MATERIAL I EVER SAW. Yours truly, Robert Ould, As't of Exchange-." 91 A HE A MOTE OF IT. ThcSupremeCoiirtof New York has decided upon a writ ot error, that a promissory note is remlereu void by any change of date after its delivery. In the case on trial it appeared on the face ofthe note that "September" had been stricken out nnd "October 11" substituted as date after one of the par ties had signed the note, and withont his knowledge or consent. The Court showed that it was a rule of the com mon law, as far back as the reign of hid ward 111, that an erasure in a deed voids its ; and the same rule had been held applicable to commercial paper it having been established in both Eng lish and American jurisprudence, that a maternal alteration in any commer cial paper, without the consent of the party signing the change, extinguishes his liberty. The alteration ofthe date, whether to hasten or delay the payment has been uniformly held to be material. To pi event and punish such tarrjDerinc. the law docs not permit the plaintiff to tail nacK upon the contract as it was originally. In pursuance of a stern but wise policy, it annuls the instru ment as to the party sought to be wronged Oxe of the most learned oftheSonth Carolina statesman was a foundling and was taken to the home of an eminent lawyer while an infant, treated and ed ucated by him, and finally taken into his office He fell in love with his patron'sdaughter, who reciprocated his attachment, iter father protested and the lovers arranged for nn elopmcnt. which was exposed and frustrated by a servant 1 lie young man was asked to an interview with the young lady's father; who said that he "loved and honored him beyond utterance: but yon cannot marry my dangbtcr, for the reason tbatfM m vow listerf We have this from the highest aathoriiy, but do noi-tlunk it - necessary to mention names.

Tlie impudence aside, we come down to the actual do ings of these beggars for popular syra paty. The Soldiers and Sailor's Con vention, which was a sido arrange ment to tho larger exhibition given at Tammany, was scarcely worthy of note. Composed entirely of men who figured as quartermasters or feather-bed offi cers and hangers-on about tho cities, it was entitled to no respect from any party and was snubbed even by the Democracy. A certain Ewing and Franklin, bearing the weight of heavy military titles, and like many others, never mentioned in connection with operations in the field, were conspicu ous. Ofthe Convention proper, we glean the following details, incidents, etc., from the reports of our city dai lies, which may be relied on for truth and accuracy, coming from the pens of reporters present. First Day. Long before 10$ o' clock on the 4th, all tho avenues in the neighborhood of tho Tammany temple were filled with a motley crowd the great unwashed, who had come some of them hundreds of miles to stand in tho heat and sun just outside of the magic circle that contained the favored fcw. To see them sweltering on the sidewalk and in the street, par boiled on the outside from the exces sive heat, and on fire within from hot and potent poison of the neighboring groggeries was a sight. A single vil- age in Pennsylvania had between 30 and 40 representatives in this pitiable throng at one time shortly before the meeting of the Convention, and it is fair to presume that many other places were quite as well off. The desire fntt itnhnta nnnntr tlinm una iufpnso and all who could be presumed to have even a tithe of influence in the proper uarters were implored for favors until the importunity became almost intol erable. "Tickets" was tho universal cry until long after the Convention adjourned, and then they amused themselves with the report that on Monday morning these m iscrabic pieces of nasteboird could be had fora dollar and the asking. At noon tho hall wa crowded to its' utmost capacity. The heat was in tense, and the panting, puffing, per spiring, but patient multitude, bore this infliction with great resignation and some show of good nature; but many, while silently throwing moun tains of blame upon thoso who had paid so little attention to the ventila tion of the hall, threw ceremony anil their coats aside at tlie same tunc and sat as quietly as possible in their shirt sleeves, and gazed earnestly at the le gion of great men whom the exigen cies ofthe Democratic party had called together on the nations birthday, .cattcrett over the room were veteran Democrats, upon whose bald heads the eye rested but a moment, as tlie re flection of the light from the windows was painful, and the memories called up when one recognized the faces so long prominent in the past history of the party of slavery and corriiption were by no means pleasant. There were Forrest of Fort Pillow fame, Simmons of Georgia, and ' hosts of other ex-rebel delegates, surmounted strange as it may appear! hot as it was ! I(t as they smell ! by a "nig ger!" His name is Joe Williams, and lie has his papers as a colleague ot iorrcst, lrom lenncssce! Consider ing the lost worthy's attempt to ex terminate the black race on a small scale at Fort Pillow, is it not curious that he and his confreres now take one of their number to their bosom? July, of nil other months, should not have been chosen for the alliance. After the introductory by Mr. llel mont, the Rev. Mr. Morgan read from a little book carefully lotlged in the bottom of his hat a most eloquent ad dress to the Throne of Grace, lis- hstcned to with great reverence by the delegates, most of whom remained standing during its delivery. Hut the people in the galleries perhaps unac customed to the unusually quiet man ner in which what they supposed to be a speech was received, became some what impatient, and at the close of the reverend gentleman s long address, bciran to nnntatid "Bullv for von!" "Go in old smooth-top !" etc At the conclusion of his speech, which was received with applause, Mr. Jsclmont nominated lor temporary chairman the Hon. Henry S. Palmer of Wis consin, which was agreed to. Com mittees were then formed for perma nent organization, after which the Convention adjourned. Second day. Monday.Tammany was full to overflowing. Everybody was aware that Governor Seymour was to be President of the Convention and consequently everybody was pre pared to cheer lustily upon . tho, an nouncement. Then followed his ad dress, the principle point in which consisted in the fact that Mr. Seymour carries the Republican platform in his pocket, a commendable thing for Dem ocrats to do, but a very dangerous experiment for those who wish to die in the Democratic faith. The speech was both heavy and long, and but for Mie memorial ot Miss Susan B. Republican, 'jebnesbng, 3u( 15, IS05. Anthony on behalf of the women of America, its somnolent qualities might havo afflicted tlie Convention for the rest of the day. But Miss Susan may die in the belief that tho Democracy agrees with her that the little difficul ty of sex i insnrmountable, and she is proliably aware already that the wards of Tammany, tho Sixth Ward strikers, tlie rural politicians, nnd the pardoned Rebels, are quite as fond of universal laughter as of Universal Amnesty, from trie derisive cheers which greeted her memorial. It is to bo remarked tliat while resolutions were introduced complimenting everybody except Grant and Colfax, all were lustily cheered but the Jinn of the People. lien Andrew Johnson pipes the Democracy will not dance. This Convention treated him with tlie contempt the whole peoplo have shown,, and, re fusing to indorse his policy, passed him by with cold words of compliment little better than tho language ot open scorn. JUr. Uigler ot I'enusylvania moved that the Convention procectl to nominate a candidate for President of tho U. S. This is what the con vention had assembled to do this is what these galleries wanted to sec done. Tho Convention, however, was not nearly so impatient as tho multi- A...1- I .1 l 1 1- I 1 nine, nun (iL'icrniincu it) n:ivu it puiL ftirm first nml a candidate afterward. It accordingly adjourned to four o clock. At the evening session, bu siness, if the proceedings can bo called business, was more promptly proceeded with than in the morning. The first thing accomplished was a splendid farce, performed in so lame a manner that it was impossible even to laugh at i. This was the reception of a dele gation from tho Soldiers' and Sailors' Convention, with a memorial f the Democratic "Convention, exceedingly long and frightfully stupid. First came Sergeant Bates, tlie man who carried the flag ever so far without any reason at all, and as he bore tho banner to tho plattorm lus jaunty ap pearance indicated that lie was as much a "fraud" ns the men who walk 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours; or even ns the Democratic Convention itself, noon afterward tho soldiers entered, Gens. tranklin, Slocum, Granger, lvirby Smith, Denver, Tom Ewing, jr., and others, but the sailors were not to be seen. Were they half seas over? The soldiers, or rather generals, were coldly received by the multitude, and when the galleries attempted to cheer them they failed in the attempt. Tom. Ewing was called upon lor a speech, and he failed, too. Jut he deserved to fail because ho saw the nigger in the wood-pile, nnd nobody was yet quite sure whether Chase and negro sufirago would not be accepted by the Democratic Party. However, who:-: he called tho Rebel generals sitting in Convention below by tho endearing name of brothers, there was a great shout, and having made, ns he thought a good point, be gracefully retired. The job being gone through with, and the soldiers ami sailors well got rid of, two hours of fillibustenng lol- owed. 1 he Committee on resolutions was not ready to report; the Conven tion was not ready to nominate. Like a small boy celebrating tho Fourth, they were afraid to let oil their tiro cracker lest the report should kill them, and until somebody explodes a torpedo among them they will play with fire but shrink to touch the itise. Third day. The crowd on the outside was not so largo ns on the first days. When the time arrived for the multitude to enter, it was not long until the immense hall was filled. The first business of importance was the reading of a scries of resolution? pre pared by Mr. Alexander II. Stephens of Georgia. The convention felt that they had been entertaining nil incen diary document, nnd n motion was mado- by Mr. Richardson of Illinois to refer all resolutions affecting the platform without reading. Dick Itioh ardson wanted no firebrands to the foxes' tails in the Democratic wheat fields. Mr I lenry C. Murphy of New York then reported the platform agreed upon by tho Committee on res olutions, which was as follows: The Platform. The Democratic party in National Convention assembled, reposing its trust in the intelligence, patriotism, and discriminating justice of the peo ple, standing upon the Constitution ns the foundation nnd limitation of the powers of tho Government, and the guaranty of the lilierties of the citizen, and recognizing the questions of Slave ry and Secession as having been settled for all time to come by tlie war, or the voluntary action ofthe Southern States in constitutional conventions assem bled, and never to lie renewed or rc- agitatcd, do with the return of peace demand : Immediate restoration of all the States to their rights in the Union, under the Constitution, and of civil government to the American people. Second: Amnesty for all past polit ical offenses and the regulation of the elective franchise in the States by their citizens. Third: Payment of the public debt of tho United States as rapidly as practicable, all moneys drawn from the people by taxation, except so much as is requisite for the necessities of the Government economically administer ed, being honestly npplied to such payment, and, where tiie obligations of the Government do not expressly state upon their face, or tho law under which they were issued docs not pro vide that they shall bo paid in coin, they ought, in right and in justice, lie paid in the lawful money ot the United States. Fourth t tiqual, taxation of every species of nronertv according to its real value, including Government bonds and other public securities. Frflh i One currency for the Govern ment and the people, the laborer nnd the office-holder, the pensioner nnd the soldier, tlie- producer and the bond holder. Sixth: Economy in tho administra tion of the Government, the reduc tion of the standing army and navy, thti abolition ofthe Freed men's Bureau and all political instrumentalities de signed to secure negro supremacy; simplification of the system and dis continuence of inquisitorial modes of assessing and collecting Internal Rev enue, so that the burden of taxation may bo equalized aivt lessened, the credit, of the Government, and tlie currency mado good, tho repeal of all enactments for enrolling the State Militia into National forces in time of peace, and a tariff for revenue upon foreign imports, and such equal taxa tion under the Internal Revenue laws as will afford incklental protection to domestic manufactures, nnd as will, without impairing the revenue, impose the least burden upon and best pro mote and encourage the great industrial interests of the country. Seventh : Reform of abuses in the Administration, the expulsion of cor rupt men from office, the abrogation of uselesss offices, the restoration of right ful authority to and the independence of tho Executive and Judicial Depart ments of the Government, the subordi nation ofthe military to the civil power, to the end that tho usurpations of Con gress and the despotism of the sword may cease. , Eighth: E-jual rights and protection for naturalized nnd native horn citi zens at home and abroad, the assertion of American nationality whim shall command tho respect of foreign powers and furnish an cxamplo nnd encour agement to people struggling for na tional integrity, constitutional liberty, and industrial rights; and tho mainte nance of tho rights of naturalized citi zens ngainst the absolute doctrino of immutablo allegiance nnd the claims of foreign powers to punish them for alleged crime committed beyond their jurisdiction. In demanding these measures and reforms we arraign tho Radical party for its disregard of right and tho un paralleled oppression nnd tyranny which have marked its enrcer. After the most solemn and unanimous pledge of both Houses of Congress to prose cute the war exclusively for the main tenance of the Government and the preservation of tho Union under tho Constitution, it has repeatedly violated that most sacred pledge under which alone was rallied that noble volunteer army which carried our flag to victory. Instead of restoring the Union, it has, so far as in its power, dissolved it, and subjected ten States in time of pro found peace to military despotism and negro supremacy. It has nullified there the right of trial by jury ; it has abolished the habeas corpug, that most sacred writ of liberty; it has over thrown the freedom ot speech and the press: it has substituted arbitrary seizures and arrests, and military trials, and secret star-chamber inquisitions for the constitutional tribunals ; it has disregarded in time of peace the right of the people to be frco from searches antiseizures; it has entered the post and telegraph offices, and even tho private rooms ot individuals, and seized their private papers and letters without any spccihc charge or notice ot affidavit, ns required by the organic aw: it hns converted the American Capitol into a I5astile; it has establish ed a system of spies and espionage to which no constitutional monarchy ot Europe would now dare to resort; it has abolished the right of appeal on important constitutional questions to the supreme judicial tribunals, and threatens to curtail or destroy its orig inal jurisdiction which is irrevocably vested by the' Constitution; while the learned "Chief-Justice has been sub jected to tho most atrocious calumnies merely because ho would not prostitute his high office to the support of the false nnd partisan charges preferred against the President. Its corruption antl extravagance have exceeded any thing known in history; and by its frauds and monopolies it has nearly doubled the burden of the debt croatcd by the war. It has stripped the Pres ident of his Constitutional power of appointment, even of his own Cabinet. Under its repeated assaults the pillars of tlie Government arc rocking on their base, and should it succeed in November next and inaugurate its President, we will meet as a subject and conquered people amid the ruins of liberty antl the shattered fragments of the Constitution ; and we do declare and resolve, that ever since the people ofthe Uniteil States threw off all sub jection to the British Crown the priv ilege and trust of suffrage have belong ed to the several States, and have been granted, regulated, and controlled exclusively by the political power of each State respectively, antl that any attempt by Congress, on any pretext whatever, to deprive any State of this right, or interfere with its exercise, 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 in a single centralized and consolidated government, in which tho separate existence ofthe States will be entirely absorbed, and an unquali fied despotism be established in place of a rcdcral Union of coequal States; and that we regard the Reconstruction acts (so called) of Congress, as such are iiotitinnf innO nn1 11 nnnnai ifnf!-vrn1 w lloui puiiiuio niiu u ii wiiovmti uiviiui iui- olutionary, and void : that our soldiers and sailors who carried the flag of our country to victory against a most gal lant and determined foc-jnust ever be gratefully remembered nnd all the guarantees given in their favor roust be faithfully carried into execution. That the publio lands should be dis tributed OS widely as nossihia nmnnrr tho people, and should be disposed of either under trie preemption or home stead laws, -and sold in reasonable quantities, and to none but actual occu pants, at the minimum price establish ed ly the government. When grants ol the public lands may bo allowed necessary for tho encouragement of important public improvements, tho proceeds of the sale of such lands, anil not tl lands themselves, should be so applied. That the President of tho United States, Andrew Johnson rapplausel in exercising the power of his high office in resisting the aggressions of Congress upon the Constitutional rights of the btates and the people, is entitled to tho gratitude of tho wholo American peo ple, and in behalt ot the Democratic party we tender him our thanks for his patriotic euorcs in tnat regard, upon this platform the Democratic party appeal to every patriot, including all tho Conservative element, and all who desire to support the Constitution and restore the Union, forgetting nil past differences-of opinion to unito with us in tlie present great struggle for tlie liberties of tlie people; and that to all such, to whatever party they may havo heretofore belonged, we extend the right hand of fellowship, and hail all such cooperating with us as friends and brethren. Mr. Biglcr of Pennsylvania moved to nominate candidates for President. Before any names were offered Gov. Seymour explained tho effect ofthe two-thirds rule, but tho Chair declined to determine the question of its application to this Conven tion. Mr, Richnrson then moved that two-thirds ofthe votes cast should de cide the nomination, nnd it was agreed to, Tho first nomination made wa that of English of Connecticut. Pen dleton's nomination was tho only one which created much cntliiisinsm, though strange to say, Andrew John sons name was loudly cheered. John son's vote on the first ballot astonished everybody. Many of the Southern delegates, who had no particular use for their votes just then, gave him the compliment of their support, and next to Pendleton be bad the highest vote. Pendleton had 105 votes and John son G5. Frank Blair passed through the ordeal of the bnllot and came out with halfavoto.. Virginia gave him 10 votes on the-second ballot asn kind of consultation from tho Mother of Statesmen. This ballot developed nothing, but on the next, the Pennsyl vania delegation nsked nnd obtained leave to retire for consultation, it was hoped their return would show a new move on tlie board, North Caroli na, not forgetful of its brilliant fent with the guidon, succeeded in bring ing down the bouse by voting for Sey mour on the fourth ballot. The fifth and sixth ballots developed nothing new. Fourth Day. Tnmimny wnsTull at the usual hotif steaming with heat. Tho reading ofthe prayer which open ed proceedings was not followed by applause, owing to the fact the etajitc ur had been carefully drilled by the managers; nor did a single tip-stairs Democrat cry "bully for you" when the speaker closed. Fora long time the iinterriliod behaved with much de cency, and burst forth into noisy ao claim only when the signal was given bo- low. W hen New-York dropped Mr. Church, and anounced through her Chairman that Hendricks should have the support of her 33 delegates, there was a storm of applause which lasted for several minutes; when, on tho 12th ballot, Tennessee gave Franklin Pierce one vote, and California paid one-half as a valublo compliment to Chase, the enthusiasm was unbounded. No words can descrilic tho tempest of applause which greeted the name of AlcUlcIlan when sonic unadulterated fossil anoun ced his preference for that chieftain of glory or renown, nor can any ordinary pen do justice to the warm gush ot patriotic joy which welled up from the overloaded bosoms ot z,O(J0 1 Jjinocrats and struck upon the air with a mighty sound, when the valiant Dan Voorliecs of Indiana was introduced. A dele gate from Illinois rose to his feet unni 'diately niter the announcement of tbc vote of his Delegation, nnd spoke as to do ws: "Jlr.
