WRAXT, COLFAX AND VICTORY.
The following platform, reported by thn4Com
mttteoon Hvsolutlons, wax unanimously adop
ted by the National Republican Convention in
session at Chicago In the '21st ult.:
First. We congratulate the country on the
assured success ol the reconstruction projects of
t'ongress, as ovlnceil hv the adoption, In a ma
jority of the States lately in rebellion, of consti
tutions securing equal, civil and political rights
toall, and rogard Has the duty of the Govern
ment to susluln these Institutions and to pre
vent the people of such stales from being re
mitted to a state of anarchy.
second. The guarantee of Congress of equal
snirrage to all loyal men at the South was ile-
of gratttudo, and of Justice, and must be matii
manded by e
r every consideration of public safety.
talued. while thenuestlonofsuirraue In all the
loyal stales properly belongs to the people of
those Htates.
Third. Wo denounce all forms of repudiation
as a national crime, and national Honor re
quires the payment of the public indebtedness
In thoutmost good falthtoall creditors, at home
und abroad, not only according to the lottcr but
the spirit of the laws under which It was con
tracted. Fourth. It Isduotothclaborof the nation that
taxation Bhould bo equalised, nnd reduced as
rapidly as the national taithwlll permit.
Fifth. The national debt, contracted as It has
been for the preservation of the Union for all
tlraoto come, should be oxtended over a fair
period for redemption, and It Is the duty of Con
gress to reduce the rate of Interest thereon
whenever It oan possibly be done.
Sixth. That the best policy to diminish onr
bnrdon of debt Is to so improve our credit that
capitalists will seek to loan us money at lower
rates of Interest than we now pay, and must
continue to pay so long as repudiation, partial
or total, opou or covert, Is threatened or sus
pected. Seventh. ThoOovemmentofOieUnlted States
should be administered with the strictest vn.
omy, and the corruptions which have been so
shamefulty nursed and fostered by Andrew
Johnson call loudly for radical reform.
Ktahth. We nrofoundlv deDlore the iintlmAlv
and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln. Ami re.
Bret the accession of Andrew Johnson to the
Presidency, who has acted treacherously to the
people who elected him and the cause he was
pledged to support ; has usurped legislative and
judlolal functions, has refused to execute the
laws; has used his high office to induce other
oillcers to Ignore and violate the laws ; hns em
ployed his executive power to render Insecure
th e prosperity, peace, liberty, and life of the olt
lzens; has abused the pardoning power; has
uHiiuuKum mn unuiMim imia.uin u, uncon
stitutional ; has persistently and corruptly re
sisted, by every means In his power, every prop
er attempt at the reconstruction of the States
lately In rebellion ; has perverted the public pa
tronage into an engine of wholesale corruption,
and baa been justly Impeached for highorlmes
and misdemeanors, and properly pronounced
guilty by the votes of thirty-nve Senators.
Ninth. The doctrlneof (treat Britain and other
European powers, that because a man is once
a sublect he Is always so. must be resisted l.
every hasnrd by the United Htates as a relic of
ne ieuuai times, not nuinorixen ny tne law of
nations and at war with our national honor and
Independence. Nntnrallsed eitisens are enti
tled to be protected In all their rights of oitl
sonshlpas though they were native-born, and
no eltlsen of the United Htates, native or na
turalised, must be liable to arrest nnd lmnrls-
onment by any foreign power for acts done or
wortis spoaen in imscouniry. Ana u snarrest
ed and Imprisoned, It Is the duty of the Gov
ernment to Interfere In his -behalf. .
Tenth. Of all who were faithful In the trials of
the late war there were none entitled to more
especial honor than the brave soldiers and sea
men who endured the hardships ol catcpnlgn
and cruise and Imnertlled their Uvea In the aer-
vloe of the country. The bounties and nenslona
provided by law for these brave defenders of
tne nation are ooiigauons never to oe rorgotten.
Tbe widows and orphans of the gallant dead
are the wards of the people, a sacred legacy be
queathed to the nation's protecting eare.
Weveath. Foreign emigration, which In the
past has added so muoh to the wealth and de
velopment of the resources and the Increase of
power 01 wis nation, "the asylum or the op
pressed of .all nations," should be fostered and
encouraged by a liberal and Just policy.
Twelfth. This oonventlon declares It sympa
thy with all the oppressed people who are strug
gling for their rights.
On motion or General Carl Schnrs, the follow
ing additional resolutions were unanimously

TBI INSANE TICKET.
The New York Evening Pod de
clares that Horatio Seymour has re
peatedly assured his friend that the
insanity which is hereditary in his
family threatens him, and that he can
only hope to escape it by avoiding
excitement. He, therefore, has said
that it would be impossible for him to
entertain the thought of becoming
President. No ordinary motive, Th
Pod continues, could induce it "to
touch upon the sacred fears and pri
vate misfortunes of a respectable citi
zen ; but, when the American people
are asked to make that citizen their
ruler, his private infirmities become
public dangers, the solemn terrors of
his closet become the peril of the na
tion." It argues that the Democratic
ticket means Frank Blair as President,
anil predicts that if the Democracy
should succeed in November, Seymour
would serve very little of his terra.
From the ebullitions of Blair before
and since the nomination we should
judge that his brain is already crazed,
and we have the strange spectacle of a
political party putting two lunatics
before the country for its highest hon
ors. In his ravings Blair has said
Fome thing? which are nearer the truth
than Democrats could wish, and which
in his calmest moments ho would not
have uttered. This declaration in his
famous Brodhcad letter, is the feeling
of the leaders of their party anl ex
plains why Seymour was made accept
able to the greenback men and Blair
to the peace faction they all unite on
this one true issue :
"I repeat thnt this is the real and
only question which we should allow
to control us
It is idle to talk of bonds, greenbacks,
gold, the public faith and the public
credit. We must have a President
who will executo the will of the peo
ple by trampling into dust the usurpa
tion ot Congress, known as the recon
struction acts. I wish to stand upon
this issue, it is one which embraces
everything else that is of value in its
large and comprehensive results. It
is'tiic one thing that includes nil that
is worth a contest, and without it
there is nothing that gives dignity,
honor, or value to the struggle.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN T
We would like to know the mean-
ins of the Democratic platform. The
Cincinnati Enquirer says tlio platform
means unlimited greenbacks. The
Enquirer says it favors ploughholders.
The World says it means paying the
bonds at once. The World says it
means paying them at some very dis
tant day. The Enquirer says it
means paying them in the depreciated
currency with which they were pur
chased. The World says it moans pay
ing them with gold, or greenbacks at a
gold staudard. Tho Enquirer says it
means paying them by setting the
treasury printing prcsscsat work. The
World says it means paying them by
taxing the people.
Now here is a pretty quaudary to be
in, especially for an honest man, who
wants to be on the right side, and thinks
a right view consists in one of these
many differences, and who cannot fa
vor them all. It is enough to make a
conservative Democrat sick at heart
to find that ho must swallow all this if
ho votes the Democrat ticket, because
one side of the party will assert that
tho Enquirer is right, while the other
will reiterate that the World lias the
true version of the platform ; and the
question will remain unsettled until
tho whole platform, candidates nnd
party arc buried next November.
RIGHT ENOUGH.,
Evidence multiplies that the people
are rallying from all parties to the
standard of Grant. A silent influ
ence pervades the political atmosphere
but there are mighty workings within
its scope. The growth of sentiment
is strongly in favor of our candidates
and will be none the less effective for
its still, sure, but stable generation.
Many of those Democrats who sup
ported tho Tar policy of administer
ing the government during tho strug
gle with rebellion, abhor the ticket
and principles given them to support.
They discern the set of the political
tide in their party toward the South,
the rc-establishracnt of a slave olio-ar-
chy and the risk of financial ruin em
bodied in their platform. Changed
circumstances do not permit them to
speak out cordially and strongly
against their .party, but by voting
right and leaving the Radicals to talk,
they hope to correct the errors of their
leaders. This is well enough. The
merciless proscription of this class by
Democrats justifies their course. To
all such we say, you are acting wisely,
and will have your reward in a nation
restored to the blessings of peace, as
consequential now at that won on the
9th of April, '63.
. Congress has just passed a law
which discontinues the Freed men's
Bureau after the first day of January

of the Democratic platform all tQ flinders.-

The Democrats are so deficient In
arithmetic that in adding up Northern
States they don't know how to "carry
one."
We can hardly credit the report
that the Democrats are to hold a
grand ratification meeting at Ander
sonville, Ga.
The Democrats of Michigan have a
candidate for Lieutenant Governor
whose cognomen is Cofllnbury Ex.
What a funny-rcsxl namel
The latest case of son-stroke is-
where young Smith struck old Smith
for calling him a Seymour man, or
some other opprobious epithet.
An artist advertises portraits of Mr
Blair "in fifteen different positions."
After the electron he can give sixteen
one of them "face down."
It is thought that Grant would
have been more popular among the
Democrats if his initials had been
"C.8. G." instead of "J7.S. G."
The Zanesville (Ohio) Germania,
the only German paper published there,
and which has hitherto been Demo
cratic, repudiates Seymour and Blair.
The Hon. John A. Bingham, who
has been making effective speeches in
Maine, predicts that the State will
give Grant and Colfax 20,000 major
ity. Mr. S. S. Cox says of Horatio Sey
mour : "Tho more you rub him the
brighter he shines." The same may
be said of a brass candlestick and
Blair's nose.
Frank Bi.air wants to inaugurate
another rebellion. The most ardent
of his supporters are at present under
parole not to take up arms against the
"U. S. G."
President Johnson' having dis
covered that New Ycrk Democrats
have no sympathy for him, hesitates
before he does anything further to aid
the Democratic party,
Philadelphia was entombed in
darkness on sevej-al nights recently,
from some defects in the gas arrange
ment. The effect is described as ex
ceedingly gloomy, the change from
gas to tallow dips being anything but
cheerful.
The Democrats are troubled alioiit
Gen. Grant's given name, and delight
in calling him Hiram. Gen. Grant,
to satisfy thorn all around, will give
them his father's name (Jesse) as a
compromise.
Seymour said to the Democratic
party, "may God bless you, but your
candidate I cannot be !" Wanted to
know just how many grains'of sincer
ity in tho "God bless you ," given,
"but your candidate I cannot bo !" to
find out.
Our cities are just now, agog over
a Chinese invention of two thousand
years ago, called "Planchctte." . It is
described as a little board, heart shap
ed, and running about on five penta-
graph wheels, but if you place your
fingers gently on tho surfacd, tho dull
wood becomes instinct with intelli
gence, writes answers to your ques
tions, talks with you, and does many
other wonderful things.
Frank Blair's letter of acceptance
is of that low flung villianous charac
ter which smacks of the pot house
politician. He speaks of his opponent
nnd his party support in a manner
unbecoming even to one of Greene
County's Democratic stumpers, sink
ing all sense of decency and forgetting
the honor accorded him by a National
Convention. The People have no
place for such blackguards except in
the tomb of oblivion.
Mr. Seymour, in declining the
nomination when first tendered him,
said, "After all that has laken place
I could not receive the nomination
without placing not -only myself but
the Democratic party in a false posi
tion. I should feel a dishonored
man!" Can we not take him at his
word ? Does he not misrepresent tho
Democracy in accepting their Repjidi
ation platform after his repeated de
clarations that he would support the
publio creditors? Is lie not dishon
ored in the eating of his own words ?
In Pittsburgh on the 21st inst., the
"Labor Reform" and Democratic Con

New York, November 20. The
New Haven Palladium publishes the
following from a correspondent who is
on intimate terms with General Grant,
and who had a free interview with tho
General :
' Speaking of the strictures of the
New York Tribune on his reticence,
General Grant said if there be in these
complaints any assumptions of fact
which I may know to be erroneous, I
do not now and here controvert them.
If thpre be in them any inferences
which I may believe to be falsely
drawn, I will not now and here argue
against them. If there be perceptible
in them an impatient and dictatorial
tone, I wave it in deference to others
who have a right to think and speak
as they may be prompted by a sense
of duty. As to ray principles, I have
not meant to leave any one in doubt.
I would save the country. I would
save it in the shortest way, under the
Constitution. If there be those who
would not save the country, unless
they could at the same time save their
own theories, I do not agree with them.
My wish is to save the country and as
soon as possible to restore all the States
to their proper relations as such, and
upon the principle of even-handed
justice. What I do in the premises, I
do because I believe it helps to save
the country. J shall do less whenever
I believe that I am doing what hurts
the cause. I shall do more, whenever
I shall believe that doing more will
help the cause. I have now stat'nl
my own sense of personal and ofllcial
duty, and I intend no modification of
my oil repeated personal wish, that all,
men may be permitted to think trcely,
nnd all, on suitable occasions, speak
out what they think, if by so doing
they can benefit mankind and help to
save the country.
Does the Messenger accept this view
of Grant's reticence now and will it re-
publish its article for the benefit of its
readers? Not 'much! The "illustrious
conservative soldier" would not accept
the honor of a Democratic nomination.
How pleasant it must be to cat your
own words !
"BEFESIt NOTHiaU!"
Chairman Wallace, of the Democrat
ic State Central Committee has issued
a bull to the Democracy in which he
tells them to "be aggressive defend

under sich an arrangement there wuz
nothing left for me but to succum.

When I left I sposed ther wus no

These few remarks uv Easeum's

Tho ncx iiite it wuz decided to hev

"Rah!" cheered the crowd.
"Now, three eroans, and let them be
good ones, for Seymour and his cussid
doctrine, wich Will grind us into dust
under the heels of iSelmont, and aid
the furrin capitalist by payin the

And they groaned ez heartily ez tha
cheered.
"We ez Democrats," continued Jo
seph, "hev sworn by our altars and
our fires, never to support for any offis
any may who wud pny a debt incurred
by an unkonstitushunel government
in a unkonstitushunel war, in anything
but the debased currency wich that
unkonstitushunel government ishood."
"Never ! never ! we swear !"
"Very good," said Joseph. "This

Corners will repoodiatc tho ackshen

And with a laff wich was devilisli

The meetin broke up in a row. The

can t discriminate between Ins sup
porters in the distribooshen uv tho

reel question at lslioo. After given
tho subject a more matoor considera
shun, we cum to the conclusion that
the credit and standin ot the trover
ment demanded tho payment uv .the
Nashnel indebtedness in gold, and that
anything short of that wood be repoo-
liashin.
"I wonder," 6cd I, that any honest
man any man who beleeves in main
taining unimpaired the credit uv tho

wuz contemplated honest, hard gold.'
At a mcctin the next nite to ratify

' Photograph of Got. aeysoar,
A correspondent of the Hartford
Evening Pod, writing from Utica,
N. Y.. the home of Horatio Seymour.
gives his impressions of that gentle
man in a long letter, from which we
extract the following :
Ihey call Seymour un hereindiner-
ently "Oration Seymour," "Rash Sey
mour," "icschacl Seymour, and "oiu
Jelly fish." The Seymour city residence
is a lead-colored brick house, with
wide, double-chimneyed gables. Ilexe,
when he wishes to catch a new fish,
or spring a coup d'etat upon anybody,
Seymour acts the part of the intruding
host by giving a dinner. Attacking
the man s belly, he forks him in the
conscience after a while, and the asas-
sination is complete. When a blacker
conspiracy is to be broached, the con
spirators hie to Deerfield, or hide
themselves in Bngg's Hotel. The-
liquor interest, the railroad ring, the '
canal people, are all represented.
They make the slate and tap the rosy,
and the Democratic masses of the State
never say "Nay." A clammy dictator
of tho wills and ballots of the Demo
dratic party, he has never raised his
eyes from the contemplation of his
own lortunes. Love, children, society,
woman, have no joys to him. His
education began and ceased when they
put a "slate" into his hand. Hia de
portment, street manners, courtesy, or
whatever it may be called, is no im-
Itlanted amiability, but only a part of
lis political restraint, conned like a
lesson to take him to the head of tho
class. His nature is. too feeble to
make him eminent even in insincerity.
Strong men go on and carry the flag
of conservatism, and make enemies by
their earnestness, but Mr. Seymour
only waits. In all this time of action
he is at Deerfield writing a speech, full
of sweetened lukewarmncss, and when
his bold associates have stumbled dis
agreed, or served hi destiny, behold I
lrom his ambush Our placid, philo
sophic statesman comes to gather the
tho sheaves of other men. His con
victions are nil ; his power of decis
ion is nihil. His speeches are notablo
for their Iago-liko tact to awaken dis
content and promote publio infidelity
while they suggest no relief, for tho
plain reason that Mr. Seymour has no
opinion whatever. He is a timid law
yer, who gave up the pofession because
lie had neither nimble nor profonnd
qualities to give him abiding placo
among his competitors, nor moral
courrgo to give nerve for tho fair con
flicts of wit and education. He quit
ted the bar as a sick man quits a jar
ring chamber, not from any delicacy
of organization, but from the sheer
want of pluck and concious inaptitude.
Ho is intensely selfish, very stealthy,
earnest for power, reckless of fame. He
worked like a beaver for his nomina
tion, as every Inxly in Utica knows,
ami declined it before it was offerred
to him. As n President, he will nar
row and belittle the destiny of the
country, truckle to the chanticleer van
ity of the rebel chivalry, make our
Northern character contemptible again,
monumentalize the rebellion, and car
ry us into the last diteh of dishonor.
One or the Fears.
Gen. Beauregard was ono of the
outsido advisers in attendance on the
New York Convention, a leader of
thoso who declared they had won tho
victory and rejoiced loudest when Sey
mour and Blair turned up. The love
feast was complete when, the next dav.
Blair, in a speech, declared that tha
rebel leaders of tho Beauregard sort,
aro "our peers. Ihose things remind
us of the following, which the publio
may have well nigh forgotten:
Charleston, 8. C, October 13, 18(52.
Hon. William P. Miles, Richmond,
Va.: Has the bill for the execution
of abolition prisoners after January
next been passed ? Do it, and England '
will bestirred into action. It is high,
time to proclaim the black flag after
that period. Let the; execution bo
with the garrotc.
G. T. Beauregard.
Need anything be said?
Mr. Horatio Seymour's career, as
a public man, affords a striking ver
ilication of the truth of what Chester
field said to his son, Phillip Stanhope
"Eloquence and good breeding alone,
with an cxcccdingsmall degree of parts
and knowledge, will carry a man a
great way." His Lordship proceeded
to show why this, was so "Tho elegan
cy of style, and the turns of the periods
make the chief impression on hearers
Give them but one or two rounded
and harmonious periods in a speech,
and they will go home as well satis
fied as people from an opera, hum
ming all the way one or two faWite
tunes that have struck their ears and
are most easily caught. Most people
liaveears but few have judgments;ticklo
their ears, and depend upon it von" will
catch their judgments, such as they are.?
Flood aad Laos or Life.
Baltimore City and the surrounding
country was visited with a terrible
flood on .the 24th inst destructive
both of life and property. The prin- .
eipal streets of the city were submerg
ed, in some places to the depth of over
seven feet. Buildings were under
mined, property in cellars was rained,
street cars were swept from the tracks,
and about five persons were drowned.
The damage will amount to $3,000,
000. At Ellicott City, about twenty
miles from the city, on the line of tho
Baltimore and' Ohio Railroad, the
Granite Mills were swept away, and
sixty persons were drowned.
Thb President has nominated the
Hon. John L. Dawson, of Fayette
County, Minister Extraordinary to
Russia. A special dispatch to the
Pittsburgh Cbmmercia. says that tho
Senate Committco on foreign .Rela
tions, have reported against his con,-i
firraation. ' .
