THURSDAY, JUNK 27, 1867. Our Platform for the Campaign. Thb resolutions adopted yesterday by the Republican Convention furnish a declaration of the principles of the party which will meet the most hearty approval of all ita members. ' They are carefully worded, and prepared with that consistent devotion to priuciplo which has always marked the policy of the Repub 1 lican party. When contrasted with the senti ments declared by our opponents, no one can fail to see the difference between the shifting, time-serving tone of the one and the high, manly opinions of the other. So far as we : are concerned, there Is no shifting of the re sponsibility, no craven sacrifice of right to policy. The issues are clearly defined; there can be no error in the reading of them, and no one can be deceived into supporting our candidate by the plea of ambiguity of lan guage. Let us look at them in detail. "First. Thnt In tbe name of the nation, naveil from treason, we demand security nuainst lu repetition by exacting from the vanquished such gunrautees as will muke treason bo odious as to be forever Impossible." Here, In a few words, is contained the whole cause why the Republican party is deter mined not to readmit the South to power without guarantees. It is not that we desire personal position; it is not that we wish tha the political machinery of the country should ' continue to be worked by our friends; but it 1 is in order that "treason may be made so odious as to render it forever impossible." It is for prevention, not punishment, that we : are determined to adhere to our coulitious submitted, if the next century opens before they are acoepted. "Second. That, as In the past we cordlnlly , . JusUdod tbe administration or Abraham Llu . coin lu nil necessary acts for the suppressing of rebellion, we record It ah our Ju Ignient that the administration of Andrew JoUusou has been chiefly faitulesa because it ha failed to try to gather up and tlx In the organic and statute law the great principles wiilcu the war has nettled, and without wuose adipttou - as the rule of action peace Is but a delusion and a snare." We find no bitter invective, no vulgar tirade against the President, but a calm reason why we deem that the Administration of Mr. Johnson "has been chiefly faithless." We are heartily glad that the Convention did not proceed to mention details. The instances ; are well known. It is needful that a judg ment be given from the aggregate of the . decisions of the Administration; and that judg ment is adverse because, through shortsighted ness and treachery, it has failed to embody in law what has been settled by facts to make A statute out of the issue decided at Gettys burg, Petersburg, and Antietam. The third resolution reads: "That In the completion of the task of recon struction so firm us to bo perpetual, It in Indis pensable that traitors beaten In the field shall not find a sanctuary iu the courts;" While the fourth expresses the opinion "That this Convention, speaking for the Re- publicans of PeuiiHylvanla, unreservedly in dorse the reconstruction measures of the Tnlrty- , ninth and Fortieth Congresses as based upon sound principles, essentially just and wise, and promising an early, loyal, and permanent restoration of the Rebel States to thoir snare In the government of the Union; that we de nounce and condemn the efforts of President Johnson, through, his pliant AUomey-Uyuerui , and a majority of his Cabinet, to evade these laws by interfering to obstruct and prevent their euiorcement lu the spirit lu wuich they were enacted, and that we call upon Congress, soon o meet, promptly and decisively to dispose of his new nullification." In this fourth resolution is found the gist of the principles of the party. Congress is endorsed, and all who seek to evade it by legal quibbles and technicalities are derelict in their duty as publio officers, and deserve the condemnation of all right-thinking citizens. If the present agitation throughout the country can be stopped, it should be done so by the assent of the whole country to the provi sions of the Military Reconstruction bill. That law is backed by the great masses of the North, and it cannot be nullified. It therefore behooves all true men who desire tranquillity for themselves, henceforth to support that party which labors for the most speedy settle ment of the question, by explicitly declaring that as soon as the law is carried into effect, .. ad not till then, the "restoration of the Rebe1 Hates" will be secured. The fifth resolution expresses that heartfelt endorsement of Generals Sickles and Sheridan which is entertained by all the loyal masses, and entertains the hope that General Grant .'will justify his past record by giving his assent tihe actions of his subordinates. The sixth y-3c0MVenui8 the release of Jefferson Davis, and the Wholesale pardoning system of the Ad ministration. The seventh impresses on the peojJe tie necessity of having a majority of oe Supreme Court of the State with politi cal opinions adverse to those of the States Rights Democracy and the semi-Southern ten dencies of the Democratic candidate. The ninth favors a free Railroad law. The tenth 1 endorses Governor Geary. The eloventh at tacks Secretary McCulloch for not promptly , paying the bounties as provided for by Con gress; and the twelfth endorses Judge II. W. Williams as a suitable candidate for the high . post for which he has been nominated. The ' eighth resolution appears in both platforms: ' ' "That protection being a cardinal feature of -' the Republican creed, we trust that such lts- I' lution will be secured at tbe earliest period as ) i Mill auoro adequate protection to American I j Industry.". It seems idle for as to ask the attention of the ' people of Pennsylvania as to which party Is the firmest friend of protection. It is almost an ' insult to their Intelligence to exhibit the utter i falsity of the assumed support of the Demo cttUo party of a high tariiL It is one of the HIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPHPniLADELPHIA, THURSDAY, Iflsues to which they are at heart opposed, and the votes of their representatives in Con gress attest that they will do all in their power to facriflce Pennsylvania to the foreign element of which the great body of their party is com posed. When the manufacturers and work inguiBti of Pennsylvania think of which party has ever been true to its pledges in their defense, we do not believe they will hesitate which shall receive their support. All the doctrines which we have thus briefly mentioned form each of them a solid plank; and when Joined together by the spirit of enthusiasm with which they will be received, will form a platform capable of carrying our candidate to his seat on the Supreme Bench. The Rival Nominations for Supreme Judge. It would be much better if the choice of judi cial officers could be kept out of politics. Had Judge Sharswood been nominated on his own personal character and qualifications for the office, aside from any political considerations, we should have felt like advising the Repub licans to make no nomination, "but to allow him to receive a practically unanimous sup port. But the managers of the Democratio party saw fit to couple his nomination with the enunciation of a platform which, in many respects, is totally repugnant to our ideas of right and justice, and which seems to have been made purposely offensive to liberal minded men of all parties. As the represen tative of this platform, as the Btandard-bearer of these principles, Judge Sharswood makes the race. Of course, under these circum stances, no consistent Republican can vote for him. To do so would be to give publio in dorsement to principles which are dangerous to the republio and an opprobrium to justice. But one course was left open to the Republi cans, and that was to make a party nomina tion. They have done so, and in the nomina tion of Judge Williams have placed before the people a candidate who, while possessing in an eminent degree the qualifications for an exalted juridical position, is also the represen tative of liberal and progressive principles. In voting for Judge Williams no man will be obliged to give a seeming endorsement to a platform at war with the first and plainest principles of justice. And, considered specially with reference to a seat on the Supreme Bench, Judge Williams has some superior qualifications. He is in the prime of- life, and in the full and vigorous possession of all his powers. He has had sufficient experience to be familiar with the duties of the bench, and yet has not been a Judge so long as to fall into a perfunctory routine of offioial action. Judge Sharswood, on the other hand, it seems to us, is liable to the very objections so ably set forth in Chief Justice Wood ward's letter of declination, published some time since. Those objections commended themselves to the judgment of all thinking men. And if, on account of them, Justice Woodward felt that he would not be a suitable candidate, much less - suitable must Judge Sharswood be. The term of office is a long one, and the man who enters upon it at au already advanced age must, in the course of nature, drop off before his term expires, or become, by reason of years and infirmities, practically unfitted for the proper performance of his important and arduous duties. We need a man in the very prime of life, who can endure severe study and labor, and who will bring to his duties the full vigor of his powers. These are practi cal considerations which must commend themselves to thoughtful men of all parties. They carry all the more weight since they have been so ably and authoritatively set forth by the Chief Justice whose term of office is about to expire. Judge Sharswood's only hope of election lies in securing, on personal grounds, quite a large number of Republican votes, nis party is in a minority of several thousand in the State. Under these circumstances, it was a very un gracious policy to put him upon a platform which is an insult to every true Republican, and which forced a partisan contest upon the people. We can only ascribe it to the bitter and implacable spirit of the managers of the party, who seem determined to make it carry the odium of as much political falsehood and folly as they can conveniently cram into its platforms. Whatever the motive, it has pretty effectually destroyed Judge Sharswood's chances of an election. He is more likely, on that platform, to lose the votes of many liberal-minded men of his own party, than he is to attract support from the Republicans. ( Political Movements and their Causes. Political movements are not produced with out cause. There is a motive behind the doings of prominent men. They aot with reference to certain ends. .We may, therefore, be sure that when President Johnson deter mined to nullify, as far as possible, the Recon struction law, and to do so under the flimsy pretext of Attorney-General Stanbery's "opinion," there wai a powerful impelling motive of some sort for his aotion. He is not so blind as to fail to Bee the inconsistent atti tude in which he places himself with his elaborate and repeated interpretation of this law on record in his veto messages an inter pretation diametrically opposed to his present position and proposed action. He mu3t have anticipated many of the consequences which would result from his attempt to nullify the law. What, then, oould have been his mo tive f What urged him on to his present course T j We believe it to have been purely partisan and political. He saw that under the practi cal operation of the Reconstruction law, 'as executed by Generals Sheridan, Sickles, Pope, Sohofield, and Ord, a powerful Republican party Was springing up, and threatening to become the dominant party in each of the late Kebel States. The. faithful execution, o the law would bring these States back into the Union, but they were likely to come back Republican States, and to vote aa such in the Presidential election of 18G8. It was the fear of this that led to Stanbery's manufacture of his "broad macademized road for perjury and fraud to travel on," in connection with regis tration, and to the denial to the different mili tary commanders of all power or authority over the provisional officers of these districts. The President's action is merely a move on the political chess-board to head off the Re publicans in the organisation of their party in the Rebel States. And to do it he does not hesitate to nullify an important act of Con gress. The game is a desperate one, and will hardly win. The reconstruction of the South may be delayed by it, but cannot be prevented. The will of the people in the long run must prevail. Probably Mr. Johnson think3 to change that will. If so, he is taking a very poor way to accomplish his end. The Talkcd-of Public Hail-ding. On Tuesday a number of Councilmen met a number of the representatives of the various publio associations of our city at the Mayor's office, to discuss the possibility of securing Penn Square as the site of the buildings of the associations. An able sketch of Penn Square was delivered by Hon. Eli K. Price, but with that exception it would seem that no conclusion was arrived at. The high char acter of the gentlemen interested lead us to hope that the plan will be vigorously pushed until the desired end is secured. Now that Broad street is fast becoming the finest thoroughfare in the country, if not in the world, it is but proper that the Governments, State and local, should aid it so far as lies in their power. The erection of such buildings as those proposed would greatly beautify the city, and give ns just cause for pride. As it now stands, the four small squares at Broad and Market streets can hardly be called of any account to the city. Certainly, they are of no possible use to her. Receipts. Mr. T. T.
