THS PLATFORM.
The Democratic party In National
Convention assembled, reposing its
trust in the intelligence, patriotism.
and discriminating justio of thw peo- -
pie, maiming upon tne constitution aa
tne foundation and limitation of the .
powers of the Government, and the
guaranty of the liberties of tho citizen;
and r cognizing tho qnestionsofslave
ry and secession as having been settled
for all time to come by the war or tha
voinntury action ot the Southern
States in Constitutional Convention

jieople by taxatiou, except so much as
it requisite for tbe necessities of th
Governm.-nt, economically adminis
tered, being honestly applied to such
payment, und where the obligations
of the Government do not expressly
state upon their face, or the law under
which they were issued does not pro
vide that they shull be paid in coin,
they cuglil in right and in justice to be
paid in iti6 lawful money of the Uni
ted States. Thunder, of applause. 1
Fourth. Equal taxation of every
species of property according to ita
real value, rc'ud ng Government
bonds and other public securities.
Renewed cheering aud cries of "read

ruth. One currency for tbe Gov.
ernmont and the people, tho laborer

tration of the Government; the reduc
tion of the standing army and navy:
the abolition of the Freodmen's Bu
reau great cheering and all political
instrumentalities designed to secure
negro supremacy ; simplification of tha
system and discontinuance of inquis
itorial assessing and collecting inter
nal revenue, so that the burden of
taxation may be equalized and lessen
ed, the cn-dit of tho government and
the currency m ide good ; tbe repeal
ol all enactments tor enrolling the
State militia into natiooal forms ia
lime of peace; and a tariff for reve
nue upon foreign imports, and such
equal taxation under the internal rev
enue laws as will aSord incidental
protection to domoslio manufactures,
and ai will, without impairing the
revenue, impose tbe least burden upon

great iudustrial interests of tbe coun

liberty and individual rights ; and th
maintenance of tho rights of natural- '
ised citizens against the absolute doc
trine of immutublo allegianco, aud th
claims of foreign powers to punish
them for alleged crime committed be-
yond their jurisdiction.. Applause.)
in demanding these measures and
reforms we srraign the Radical party
for its disregard ot right, and tho no-
paralleled oppression and tyranny
which bavo marked its career.
Alter tho most solemn and unani
mous pledge of both houses of Con-
J tress to prosecute the war exclusive
y for the maintenance of the Gov
ernment and the preservation of th
Union under the Constitution, it has
repeatedly violated that most sacred
pledge under which alono was rallied
that noble volunteer army which car
ried our flag to victory.
