The third , day's session of this body yes
terday was In the reception of the
platfortit, - abrief discussion upon the two
thirds rule, the presentation of the names of
candidates; and with six ineffectual ballot
-
ings for a choice, after which the Conven
tion adjourned to this morning.
Of the platform, we have the text In full
and snide to it elsewhere. The Committee
were unanimous in reporting it and the
Convention nearly so in its adoption. The
most strict interpretation of the two-thirds
- rule was agreed upon, in requiting that ,a
nomination be effected only by that ratio of
the Intl electozal vote Consequently,
„the
succesiftd'oendidate must havaat least two
hundred' and. tvieive votes. Names were
then presented and the ballotings_ com

THE DEDICKMATIG. PIATFOIUK
- The Old Bourbons of the party haveagain
Shaped its National policy. Copperheadism
rules' its councils as• despotically and with
as little practical wisdom as when, at Mrs ,
go, in '64, the war was declared to be a fail
ure. The hope, so freely entertained of
late, both within and without the lines of
the party organization, that wiser and more
moderate utterances would 'nark the Dem- .
ocratic perception of the progress of events,
ignoring dead issues and recognizing the
fixed and unchangeable facts to which a
leading journal of the party has borne sncli
,seasonable testimony—this hope, that De
inocracy- wotild be found profiting - bfthe
bitter experiences of the last' eight, years,
has provedoncemore a delusion. Theplat
fOrm commits the party to the most extreme
ideas of its ,extreme men, and concedes noth- .
ingto that indulgent patriotiam which would
accept the inevitable situation and honestly
aim to improve it. DenounCing the recon
struction acts 'as "usurpatory, tinconqtittv•
ilifnal and void;" demanding "the immedi
ale restoration of all the States,'? - , which,
_of
course, means with their constitutions and,
.govemmentaxesPectively. aa , :they 'existed
either at the outbreak of the rebellion, or as
the rebels reconstituted them by expunging
the obligations of Federal supremacy; de
manding, amnesty for all political Offences'
and denouncing ' any disfranchisement
by way of penalty for active
rebellion—all this is Copperheadism, pure
and unmitigated, the: Same which first juri
titled secession, then sympathized with re-
hellion, - and lint since, heartily lementing
over the "lOst cause," faithfully oppcised
every measure of public policy which could
stand in the way of a revival of the con
test. In this view, the platforrn is one upon
which no moderate man of really conserve
tive opinions can stand. It will drive two
or three "hundred thousand Democratic - to
the support of General Griervr; •it will
disgust the white' voters of the Smith who
have • impported reconstruction; it forfeits
the remotest !chance :' - for . securing ' to=
Democracy one solitary Sonthern electoral
vote, :and it reanimates the strong arms and
honest hearts of loyal friends of the Union
everywhete, with the detenninatlon to ' '
make final Mid of the treasonable party,
-which brought four years of sanguinary
War . upon . the Republic, width :has since
aimed to perpetuate dissension, and which
now proposes to revive its utmost bitterness.
This platform means the revival and con !
tinuance - of the bitter strifes of the pull
three years, touching the States of the South,
which has so wretchedlY embroiled tho
politics, and disturbed the peace, and em
,barassed the prosperity, of the. Republic.
It means that the results happily reached,
in the recent solution of these, embaraas
ments,by the people of seven of those States,
under the wise provisions set forth by the
Federal 1 authority, shall be rejected
by the Democratic party, which in
vites the South to continued reds
tance, and renews the offer of support
which the South has already found so delu
sive. This platform means, in short, that
the men who opposed the was the Union,
and the policy which refused IMAM or dol
. ler for its defense against armed rebels, are
the men and the policy for the Democracy
of 1868, xn the, interests - of n common
country, there is no Republican who would
not have gladly well:caned be Democratic'
party to a position more patriotic, andzaore
,consistentwith the higher--interests of. the
whole people. But, •as the issue is now i

This_ -qualification may not be , an insupera;

ion.
We only desire to reiterate, what we
said the other day; that) conceding the right _
of diacretion to be in the, Government to
tax property In bonds, a 6 Clearly as to tax
other property, there is propriety in tax
ing income from that source Mice as high
as income from bonds, mortgages and judg
ments. The only reason, it seems to us,
that can be urged is that income from bonds,
mortgages and judgments is taxable for State
purposes, while income from National bonds
is not. We do so antdagotisly Pezutsyl
vania, taxing corporations heavilj for State
purposes, And - exempting them from :local
levies. But we doubt if this principle;` ap
plied to i'ederal Donde, will be found to
'work well. The Government can pay Its
bonded indebtedness at maturity only by
creating and marketing news loans, and
harsh or unjust legislation against bond
holders may in the end cost the Treasury
_
much more than can be made..bytne process ,

There are bat two courses open before the
Government. One is repudiation, either par
tud or entire. The other, to meet its obh
ptions according to the terms and in the

latter course the' 'Republican, party stands
pledged, and that pledge, no .matter what
seeming vacillations may occur, wifbe re
deemed.
Tire BUPFLUME Comm, in deciding lqe
Registry Law to be unconstitutional and
void, was guilty of an unwarrantable stretch
Of authority, which tends powerfully to pro
tect fraads upon' the purity cf the ballot
boxes. ‘,
The Constitution of the Commonwealth
provides what things shall be necessary to
constitute a-person a voter. The person
must be a Male, both free and white, of the
fbll age of tiventrone Tears, a citizen of the
`Crated States, a resident or this State one
Yeai, of the particular election district ten
4ays, and must have paid a State or county
taz`-withir'Wo years. But the Constitu
tion does not declare how the possession of
these qualifications shall be ascertained.
This was properly left to be provided for by
statute, with the right in the Legislatpre to
amend the preicribed process vinenever it
should be found either inoperative or defec
tive.,
The Registry Law institutes no new Con, •
ditions for making a man a voter. It only
provides how the constitutional require
ment in that particular shall be carried into
effect. If it is really unconstitutional, then
the old statute is liable to the same objection;
and so will any statute be that may be
hereafter framed to compel individuals of
fering to Tote to show that they possess the
acknowledged prerequisites.
The fact is the decision under considera
tion was made, not from the stand-point of
law, but from the stand-point of the Demo
cratric party, and to encourage men who
know they are not voters to claim and use
the right of suffrage. It is, consequently, a
decision not to protect the- Constitution
from being violated, but to incite unprinci : ,

Important Letter from Mr. Chase;
The following letter from a distinguished
statesman of Ohio, addressed to a gentleman
in this city, was sent to Chief Justice Chase
last week:
"There is a growing disposition among
the Democracy of the West to accept of
Chief Justice, Chase as , their candidate. If
cordially received by the party, his election
will be certain, and it is the safest and best
we can do. I see the Commercial doubts
his consenting to leave the question of suf
frage without distinction of race to , the
States, and considers it a departure from his
long avowed principles. This Ido not per
ceive. Chase is in favor of two things 7 -the
Constitution of the United States, including
the right of the States under it, and suffrage
Without distinction of race, and I think he
has never said he would violate the.first, in
order to secure thelast, and it is not an, in

THE BETRAY/ 6, _ OF PENDLETON.
The annexed paragranh, telefiraPhed ...
.New York late on Monday night, by a dis
heartened friend of "young greenbacks,'
to Western Democratic journals, tells probe
whole . ,.
bly the story of "one more tuifortu
nate." Thus "Mack" writes:
The opposition to Pendleton is becomin i.
more intense every hour and the 'efforts .
effect his defeat are multiplying. The bond
holders seem determined' to beatliim, and i
he is beaten by any candidate' now - in th
field against him, it wil be because mone •
is stronger than princi le in the Conve .
tion. * * * There is no don

ple, Pendleton would 5 nominated: Fro
what I learn to-night, . eweier," I feel nu
thorized to say that th- people will be b
trayed by those in whom they have trusted
to make the nomination. I have the best
authority for saying that the Indiana dele
gation, notwithstanding all „their, ifiedges
and promises, will desert Pendleton after a
very few balker*" fgthillt."..', Lf 3 Vane/ tarn
informed the bargain is already made ;
they will desert him ostensibly in fa
vor of Hendricks, but really , in favor o:
any candidate wheat' lhe bondholders may
present. The Pendleton men feel discour
aged
to-night; they find they have to fight
Wall street, and are hardly equal, to the
emergency. The bondholders , fill the gall
eries of the Convention with paid claguers,
who attempt to ore 'awe the;Convention.
They are admitted on forged tickets. The
Pendleton men have become so much en
raged at this performance that, they talk of
offerings resolution to exclude all outsiders
and spectators. Others are in favor of ad
journing the Convention to some other
time and place beyo d the reachof the cor
rupting influences o New York city.
Notwithstanding e decisive, distinct and
positive pledges '
mad by the Southern dele
gates, it has become known to Pendleton's
friends that some of the Southern .delega
tions are in the . market. At the suggestion
of Mr. Vallandigham, a eanference between
the Ohio delegation and some of the leading
men of the South will be held to-rdght, to
ascertain how much truth there is in these
reports. It may "be that lam mistaken, but
the appearances to-night at eleven o'clock
are that bimdholders will succeed in defe,at
ing the people. Mack.
Tnr. Frank Blair movement is more skill
idly worked than any other. He can, got
the vote of Missouri, Maryland and Virginia
whenever his name shall be brought, for
ward. Pendleton is the preference of t iese
States, but Blair is their second choice, and
the seine is true in the maLti_of Kentucky
and part of Tennessee.
Tint Hendricki movement Is imotheral,
subdued, but not destroyed. Every hour
or so. Tammany touches the galvanic

tery, the corpse rises and looks in a, menac
ing manner at Pendleton, and then lays
down again with tOlded, peaceful hands, as
if praying for oblivion and rest.

The Convention adjourned on Mon yto
10 o'clock this morning, bnt at the our
named a very slim attendance was fond,
the probability being, that owing to the
confused debate which occurred at the
time of adjournment on Monday, the time
to which adjournment was made was mis
understood by the majority of the dole;
gates. A motion foe adjournment tilll2 M.
was therefore made and carried, with an
amendment providing that notices ofuch
adjournment be posted at the outran of l
the building for the Information o h del

day and completed arrangements for seat
ing delegates, which willbe likely to facil

They consist of the allotting of seats to
each delegation, the locations being mark

as that adopted at the National Convention .

noise.
Gen. Whittaker, of Illinois. called the
attention of the Sergeants-at-Arms to the
scene of confoasion, and begged they would
use their best endeavors Ito preserve peace,
and continued with an argument in favor
of the reaolution offered by the Committee.
A delegate from Arkansas requested the
motion to lay upon the table might be with- -
drawn, and a motion to , receive the resolu
tions of the Democratic Convention made
so they might be properly before them for
debate and action.
Gen. Campbell, prefacing his remarks
with the statement that under parliament
ary rule the resolutions were not properly
before the Convention and called for the
- "reading of the resolutions introduced by
him on Saturday, which were • read by the
Secretary as published In the yeport yes
terday's proceedings. The point of order
* was raised that.the previous question was
out of ,Order,in a popular Convention, but
the Chair ruled out the point.
Dissent being made frern that decision,
a vote was taken and.the Chair sustained.
The adoption of 'Gen. Campbell's resolu
tion being then properly before the house,
a call of States was had. _
Kansas; Ohio and Wisconsin alone voted
aye.. lowa Vermont and South Carolina
did not vo te. The others ail voted "nay."
The motion was therefore lord—thirty-two
voting in favor, and two hundred and forty
slx against the motleys: • '
A delegate Yequested that on the next
call of States the Territories should be in
cluded, which was earned: '• •
The question was upon the adoption of
the platform reported by the chairman of
the Committee on Resolutions and a call
of the States thereon , resulted' as fellows:
yeas, 287; nays, 7.
Louisiana voted nay.
The platform, as announced by the Com
mittee on Res olutions, was therefore car
ried.
The first vote from the National 'Conven
tion was then read with enthusiasm.
- Gen. Ewing beingcalled for appeared and
read a resolution favoring the preservation
of the integrity of the National securities,
the withdrawal of the National currency
and the substitution of greenbacks, as being
a policy favoring the few, as against the
many, and tending to induce repudiation.
Gen Ewing contended the Convention
was composed largely of workingmen, who
were more than others interested in, the
momentous questione before the country,
and as. a Convention_ of workingmen and
Conservatives they could not afford to turn
the cold' shoulderto the wants of the la
boring men.i. He desired that the great
question of finance - be' considered. Re
applauded the ;spirit; of those who
came to the financial succor of the Govern
ment, but, celled attention to those Who
perilled their lives as well as their money
in the cause of the Union. But while jus
tice was demanded toward them, - the bond
holders, they were not entitled, in the
present condition of the country, to liber
ality. The eye-twenty bonds expressly
specify they are redeemable in the legal
currency of the nation, and if they should
be paid in gold, why have not the courts so
decided it? The laboring classof the ooun
try are deeply interested to know whether
the financial policy of the present Congress
Was to be sustained or not.
Gen. McQuade repudiated the •introinc.
Um of the question as calculated to dis
tract the attention of the Convention from
the great issues before the soldiers and sai
lors in the next election. fie did not pre
sume to decide the great question of nation
alfinanceswhich had agitated the best minds
of the country for years. The questions of
women's rights, of the purchase of Alaska
anti the proscription of the Jews by Gen.
eral Grant, might Just as well come up
before the Convention as this question of
finance.
A delegate from Pennsylvania deprecated
the introduction of this intricate ques
tion, and raised the point of order that the
resolution offered by Geri. Ewing should
go to the Committee on Resolutions with
out debate.
A delegate from Indiana announced that
he had lin his possession the draft of the
platforin presented by the National Con
vention and moved that it be read by the
Secretaily.
The previous questionbeingcalled,which
was that the rules -of the Omvention be
suspended to allow the reading of the Yet*.
Intion introddeed by Gen. Ewingthe
roll of States was . 7 called • 10/' Ccilehel
O'Blerne, - resulting: ayes, 78; nays,7 197.
The motion:was therefore lost, , and Gen.
Ewing's resolution was • referred 'to the
Committee under the rules..
Colonel Cambell„ Ohio, moved that op
Committee on Resolutions to
report at once upon the resolution of Gen.
Ewing; and spoke at length in favor of his
motion, and , called for the reading of the
platform adopted byp, the National Conven
tion; but ' meantime' ' Wished to retain the
floor to be in a pciedtion,to address" the Con
vention after the reading. •
The platform adopted by the Yational
Convention was then read by the Secitta
ry, and its various provisions applauded by
the Convention. • ,
At the conclusion of the reading of the
platform the gentleman from Ohio expres
sed his entire approbation of the same and
begged the withdrawal of the objection of
the gentleman from Kansas, and moved
the unanimous acceptance of the platform.
The rules were, therefore, suspended, and
the resolution mvepting,the platform of the
National Convention unanimously carried.
Gen. McQuade moved a vote of thanks to
Gen. Franklin the Secretaries and other
- officers of the Convention' for the. efficient
discharge of their duties, which was car
ried.
The temporary Chairman then introdue,ed
Major General 13nekner, of the late Confed
-erste army. His appearance was greeted
with cheers, and, a speech being, called for,
he addressed the Convention, saying he
wished sincerity to prevail. He wanted
dead issues burled, as the brave, soldiers
on both sides had" been buried on the field
of strife. Those issues wore metcnd set
tled by the war, and now they had to meet
'from all parts of - the - country and unite to
bind the various portions of the country in
unity and peace. I v -
