•
Every year increases the populari
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
erties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. B 3 its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
baldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and.
will create a new grewth, except in
extreme old ago. It is the most eco
nomical IL in DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D.,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"..rhe constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA
RATION for its intended purposes."

THE SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL
Prom tho N. Y. Ttmo
Mr. Greeley's organ Wednesday entertained
its readers with the following choice item of
news, which Is a fair specimen of the way the
Presidential campaign is conducted in behalf
of the Chappaqua Sage :
" Now fresh scandals have coma to light.
One of our contemporaries pub , bates the story
of William D. Ferraud, who paid $2,500 to
the President's brother•ln-law to get him DOM
ILIUM' to a Consulship in Peru, against the
protests of the State Department and the op
position of the Peruvian Government, and
who, losing this place because the Senate
would nut confirm the nomination, afterward
paid the same brother-In-law $l.OOO to get
him appointed to another. We have tic proof
that this story is true, but what we know tel
tee Presidents disgraceful system of dfspens.
mg patronage leads us to believe it. And we
have no doubt that it uillbe generally believed."
It is scarcely necessary to say that there is
not one word of truth in this scandal, so eager
ly copied from " one of our contemporaries ;"
the Tribune itself admits as much—but what
difference does that make so long as the Gree
ley organ thinks " it will be generally be
heved And this is the way in which nine
tenths of the charges of corruption against
Gen. Grant's Administration have been man•
ufactured and set afloat In the columns of" Re
liant" newspapers. " One of our contempo•
raries"—Dana's sewer most likely—invents a
lie about GenGrant,or some member of his fam
ily, or of his Cabinet, and forthwith the entire
"Reform" Press make haste to lift it out of the
gutter and spread it broadcast over the
country, knowing full well that there is no
truth in it, but entertaining " no doubt that
t will be generally belieyed." We do not
know whether Mr. Greeley approves of
this mode of conducting the journal of which
he has so long been the responsible editor,
or whether It is one of the improvements
introduced by his successor,' the proles
sor of modern journalism ; but we submit
that neither the 'Tribune as a newspaper, nor
Mr. Greeley as a candidate for President, is
likely to achieve success r•r credit by becom
ing the 'retailer at second hand of the filthy
slander of the Sewer. Suppose the " Sage
of Chappaqua" were to awaken some morn
i g, and read in one of our 'contemporaries'
a story like the following :
"Fresh scandals are coming to light with
regard to the 'Reform' candidate for the Pres
idency. It appears from a story in one of our
contemporaries that the Slievegammon fund
which our Irish fellnw•citizeus trusted in the
hands of Horace Greeley for the relief of their
starving countrymen, but of which nn account
was ever rendered, was invested by Mr. Gree.
icy in a batik owned by Hon. Jobe Morrissey.
In fact it would seem, as the story goes, that
Mr. Greeley actually entered into copartner.
ship with Mr. Morrissey in the business of
conducting the aforesaid bank Greeley's
share of the capital being the identical fund
placed in his bands by our generous, but de
ceived Irish fellow-citizens. This explains the
remarkable intimacy that has existed for sev
eral years past between Mr. Morrissey and
Mr. Greeley, and which has been a puzzle
to many good people. It Is even alleged
that the money which Morrissey is so free.
Icy offering to bet on Greeley's election is a
portion-of the proceeds of that unholy part.
nersh p. We are also assured on good au
thority, (although we have no proof of the
fact,) that Greeley's share of the profits on
the dissolution of the partnership, (conse
quent on Morrissey's removing his bank to
Saratoga,) was $20,000, and that this was the
identical money invested by Mr. Greeley in
the tobacco business with Wm. M. Tweed.
It would appear, then, that the long lost fund
contributed from the hard earnings of our
Irish citizens to relieve their suffering country
men, was cast by its custodian into the whirl I
pool of dishonest speculation, and has gone
to enrich the present Sage of Chappaqua—
perhaps been used to purchase his nomination
to the Presidency. There is little doubt, now
that these facts have conic to light, that Mr.
Greeley's recommendation to our Irish citizens
to deposit their earnings is the Bowling green
Savings bank, just on the eve of Its failure,
was another villainous scheme,like the Slieve
gammon trick, to wheedle them out of their
hard-earned money.
"We may also be permitted to mention an
other scandal that is floating around town oe
the wings of rumor, (and which we expect
soon to see in "one of our contemporaries,")
to the effect that Mr. Greeley had a knock
down fight last week with his successor, the
great. Professor. The origin of the quarrel is
variously stated, some averring that it grew
out of the Professor's ticketing Mr. Greeley's
communications to the Tribune, while others
declare that it all arose-from the excessive gal
!entry of the "Sage of Chappaqua."
We do not vouch for any of these scandals,
for, as before stated, "we have no proof" that
they are true, but our knowledge of Mr. Gree•
ley warrants us in saying that they *are exceed
ingly probable, and, at any rate, we have no
doubt that they will be generally believed.
Is this the way to conduct the canvass?
LIVINGSTONE 011-IEUMBUG
We do not wish to cast any unreasonable
doubt upon the rep , rted interview beta Pl.l
Mr. Stanley of the New York Herald and Dr;
Livingston, Still we must be permitted to say
that there are some circumstances connected
with the supposed discovery of Livingstone',
whereabouts and proceedings which present.
to say the least, a strange appearance. In the
first place, Mr. Stanley, so tar as we can dis
cover, brings with him no written statement
from the great African explorer ; no letters to
tie relatives and friends in England ; no Jour
nal or copy of a Journal containing the history
of his travels and proceedings during his long
absence. In the second place, the statement
that the doctor had warted on an entirely new
expedition, anti by a strange route, to be alt.
sent for two years, at the same time that ti
was destitute of the proper stores—clothing.
arms, no (bellies, etc.—has, to say the least, a
rather fishy aspect. That may be I lying
stone's new mode of proceeding. It certainly
was not the way in' which he prepared tor tip
conduct of his earlier expeditions. Could not
Mr. Stanley have obtained from Dr. Living
stone a line, directed to sonic friend in Eug•
land', or even the autograph of the dome' . ?
It would be worth more than a thousand
vague and unsatisfactory dispatches about un
derground passages of !medic& of nub s iu
extent, and statements respecting the courses
of rivers and the si mations of lakes in the, in
terior. Othello was very anxious to see that
handkerchief 'he had given to DeSOVMODU.

OUR DEBT.
In March, 1869, upon the inauguration of
Presideut Otrant,tne Republican party return
ed r() umlauted possession of the national
G tvermiteut. One of the principal question
presented to It by the then cohd Ilion of nation
al slYtirs was the tr atinent of the national
debt. If the party had followed the sugges
tion of its Democratic opponents, It would
have so treated this question that the disaster
and disgrace of repudiation would have fallen
upon the people. Had it, Instead, followed
th • suggestions of ingenious theorists, whose
ideas and schemes were as numerous as the in.
otviduals who propose them, it would have
entered on one or more plausible experiments
in the old game of getting rid of debt without
parting with money. It lookmeither of these
courses. One led to certain ruin. The other
led no one hint whither. The party prefer
red, rather, the course of simple honesty and
common sense, and b ltan to pay ••ff the debt
as rapidly as the revenues produced the means
of doing so.
On the Ist of - March, 1800• the debt, less
cash in the Treasury, was $2,325,463,260. The
first month It was reduced a quarter of a mll
net
($266 798); the next, ovvr six millions
($6.3119.0711); the next over thirteen in dhotis
($13.384,777); and in June it was reduced
over sixteen millions ($16,410,132).
Toe policy of the Administration was now
thoroughly established. The people were
shown on the one hand a saving in interest at
the annul rate M $607,407.whi1e on the other
the public credit received a degree and kind
of strengthening which nothing else could
have given ii fur what is so conclusive as a
nation's ability and intent to pay as paying—
fay ing in large sums, and paying in advance
et the maturity of the debt 2 From that time
to this the reduction of the debt has gone on,
with the approval of Congress, and to the
genn rat satislaction of the country, until, on
the lit st of this month, the total reduction had
reached abourthrer Rendre,' nod thirtydOur
millions, ($333,1176.910). This was at the
overage monthly rate of over eight millions
($8,349,422), and the entire reduction egwtls
thirteen and twenty-two rme-hundredths per
cent. on the entire debt. The country had
responded to the demands made upon it so
frefly that It may lie considered us proven
that the national debt of the 'United Slates
could be paid, if it were necessary or desire.
able, within twenty one years from date, or
by the very generation which contracted it.
We do not lor a nmment assert that the
statesmen wh m the Republican party has
placed in power deserve the ex'zlusive credit tor
the remarkable results achieved, b u t we fin as.
•rt 'hat th. se results never could have been
achieved except by the honest representatives
id an honest organizattom It must be re
membered that while. the national debt has
been reduced three hundred and thirty•foor
mill.ons, taxes have been removed to the
amount of one hundred and torty millions
These two things never could have been done
at. the stone time if the revenue had not been
faithfully collected and honorably disbUrsed.
the w,hole American people contributed the
inellus to pay tile enormous percentage of the
debt which has been paid, but they would
have contributed it lu vain 'if the Administra
tion had 1101, been one 01 fidelity nod integrity.
It is in this that the title of the Republican
party to coati Immo lies, and it is this which
die people are perfectly sure to recognize.
Let Mr. Greeley be electial,and the "organized
'raid upon the Treasury," which Judge Slant
ley Matthews predicted as the result of his
rule, would soon begin. Penton & Co. would
take good care to obviate Greeley's complaints
about the "accumulation of money" in the
Treasury.
POLITICAL SENTDIENT IN PENN

Henry T. Darlinaton, Esq., editor of the
Bucks County Lrtt llig. ricer and one of the
most discreet political writers in Pennsylva
ma, recently camp in contact with representa.:
lives of the press from two thirds of the State.
A comparison of views with respect to the po
laical outlook in Pennsylvania, led to the Ml
lowing excellent article foreshadowing the
hem ful situation of the Republican party and
clearly indicating the triumph which is sure
to crown their efforts in the State and Nation
al elections. btr. Darlington writes :
"A recent trip through the northern and'
western parts 01 the State, in company with
the editors of many political newspapers of
both parties, afforded a good opportunity of
becoming acquainted with the political situa
huh as it now stands. Our information em
braces out less than two thirds of the State,
lii we believe it to be entirely trustworthy.
The grand topic of discussion everywhere wee
ore prospective endorsement of Greeley and
Brown by the Democratic Convention at Bat
Lenore next week. It appeared to be regarded
as a certainty by every one. To the Demo
antic editors the prospect was hot a pleasing
one. At least three fourths ril them were frank
and owspotten in their expressions of dislike
and reluctance. They said that the acceptant!,
ot Gr. eley would compel them to deny the
politic.d principles that they have always held
oas the laith of the Dennieralic party. It
woulo he a confession that Greeley, their bitter
and constant enemy, was right after all. It

there is earnestness enough to make it quite

'foi• P iiiiiiii uio Press. Gross Misrepre
sentation of the Financial Resources and
Credit of the State of Pennsylvania.
From Elm thaw Journal.
In its issue of Monday, the Press contained
a long and methodically written article pur
porting to give detailed statements of the man•
ner in which the State treasury is managed.
There are ear-marks sufficient In the produc.
lion alluded to convince all who know any.
thing of the facts that the article in' question
was dictated or encouraged by parties having
access to official documents, which they gar.
bled to effect a mean object of personal hate,
regardless of the general damage they inflicted
on the credit of the State, and, in order to de.
feat both objects, we have been at some pains
to get the truth end lay it before our readers.
First. Then, as to the statement of the Press
of the attempt to increase the State debt.
There never was any attempt made to increase
the State debt in the manner asserted by the
Press of Monday. The Commissioners of the
.Sinkinlj Fund never mode a weitten request to
the e coat° Fnance Committee to increase thb
Stole debt, or recommending that a loan be
authorized, and as a consequence Secretary
Jordan could not protest against an applica
tion which was never made. If a transaction
of this kind had taken place it would appear
on the minutes of the Sinking Fund Commis
sioners, where we rail to find any such record.
This explains the foundation on which the
correspondent of the Press bases other equally
silly assertion, and exposes the whole struc
ture of his falsehoods. The idea of making n
new loan originated with E. M. Lewis, presi.
dent of the Fe.rmers' and Mechanics' Bank,
Philadelphia, who suggested, as there was
only $1,250,000 in the Treasury, and $5,000,-
000 of due an f overdue loans to redeem, draw•
Mg interest at 0 per cent., to replace this sum
by a long loan at S per cent. This suggestion
was.made in anticipation of an immense draw
on the treasury, and in view of the fact. that
the appropriation bill of the year in question
was loaded down with large items, but the
proposition was not acted on. The main fact
is clear, that Messrs. Hartranft and Mackey
never made n proposition to increase the State
debt, that Col. Jordan has no record of pro
testing against such action, and that the whole
story of the Press on this point, is a base and
unworthy lie, founded in malice and concocted
with the mean put-pose of defeating the will
of the people nt the hallot•box.
Second. The next point of complaint, in the
Press article, is as to ballances in the treasury.
It declares that Mr. Mackey in 1870, handed
over to General Irwin a ballance of $2,187,
461.35, and that Gen. Irwin, at the end of iliF
year, handed over to Mr. Mackey $1,204,303
The records of the treasury office for the year
during which Irwin wits treasurer, show that
his average monthly balletic° was $1,646,582,
and on the 31st of March, 1871 a month' befors
he went out of office, his Whine° amounted
to $2 083,212.61. In order to embarrass - Mr.
Mackey, the incoming Treasurer, and to that
extent effect the economical management of
the treasury, Gen. Irwin anticipated the pay.
meat of a large amount of the loans, by wh'eh
the enormous and unnecessary sum of $70,000
was expended in premiums and commissions.
• The Press fails to see, or seeing, has not the
mealy candor to state this fact. The Press
seeks by lnnendo to create the impre3sion that
the securities In the State Treasury are worth
less. - There is not a dollar of any paper of
any description in the vaults of the Treasury
that is not worth its face value. We make
this declaration, knowing of what we Blinn,
mind sure that the strictest Investigation will
corroborate all we write.
Third. The declaration that corporations
are permitted to evade the payment of their
taxes, by the connivance of clerks in the Au
ditor. General's office, is as groundless and as
ill-advised as the other fabrications of the
Press, as we shall proceed to show. It is al
lege(' that " the Northern General Railroad
which owns or has on lease one hundred and
ninety—nine (199) miles of railroad in
Slate, and a heavy coal tonnage, has paid into
the Treasury, on tonnage and gross receipts,
during the past six years, an average of $35,-
211. Yet pays the State of Maryland annually
$OO.OOO for thirlysix (36) miles of road."
This declaration is gm cious as well as devilish.
The Northern Central railway company is
composed of four distinct roads, namely : The
Elmtraand Williamsport, Shamokin and Potts
ville, Wrightsville and York, and the North
ern Central proper. According to law, a rail
road company is only taxed 'for the tonnage
originating on the line of its road. Thus,
the -Wrightsville and York road pays 'tax
on what originates on that line, and the
the Northern Central proper and the other
roads.which it controls, do the same. This
fact will be shown by an examination of the
financial report of the Auditor General. The
statement as to the Northern Central paying
'ut $35,000 annually to the State of Peonsyl•
vanla, as tonnage tax for 166 miles of road,
while to Maryland the same company
pays $90,000 for thirty-six miles of road.
is fallacious as well as garbelled. ID
the first place, the State of Maryland
levies no tonnage tax on railroad corporations,
but she owns a million and a half of bonds it.
the. Northern Central railroad company, the
interest on which just amounts to $OO,OOO
The Northern Central railway company, life
all thee other great corporations in the State,
pays its taxes promptly as required by law. In
regard to the legality of the tax on tonnage
and gross receipts, arising on freights received
beyond the limits of Pennsylvania, the whsle
question involving, the constitutionality of the
law, is before the United States Supreme court,
and it decided in favor of the State, there will
be large amounts of tax clue from the Northern
Central railway company and other corpora
Lions, and of course at once paid. * * • *
—So much for the garbling of ofileial docu
ments, the deliberate misstatement of facts.
and the direct falsehoods of the Press to im•
pair the official integrity of Auditor General
❑nrtranft. We believe the candid reader will
admit we have met and exploded every fabri.
cation put forth by a hired anonymous scrib
bler, and we know the public will accept the
ofileini record In vindication of a faithful officer
before they• will consent to follow a sleet
which has resolved to ruin what it cannot rule,

as the personal charges made against General

lOWA CORRESPONDENCE
NEWTON, lOWA, June 18, 1872
Searce half a century has rolled around since
the vast praries of lowa were inhabited by the
" Red Man," and a number of the few whites
who ventured beyond the bounds of civiliza
tion and took up their abode west of the Mis
sissippi river, were slain by the tomahawk or
tortured to death in a cruel and fiendish man
ner. But the attempts of the Indians to check
the onward march of civilization proved fu
tile, and they were finally compelled to aban
don their hunting grounds, and remove to re•
servations, set apartlor them by the govern—
ment, west of the Missouri river. Reluctantly
they left the laud of their fathers, and traveled
westward, and there is now but one tribe re
maining within the borders of lowa. They,
with the exception of a few who are industri—
ous, are a dirty and lazy set, and can never be
taught the art of agriculture. Occasionally a
number of them leave their reservation and go
out on a begging expedition. A a the majority
of lowa farmers are very generous, these In•
diens generally return to their homes laden
with suppin.s sullivent to lattt them a long time
when they again start out in a different direc
tion. They are very peaceable, however, and
are not known to have committed any depre
dations since the admission of lowa into the
Union as a State.
The increase of lowa In population has been
very rapid. The first permanent settlement
was made at Burlington, in 1833. In 1838 it
was erected into a separate territory, and ad
mitted as is State in 1846. It now numbers
nearly twelve hundred thousand Inhabitants,
is out of debt, and has a surplus In the trees•
u ry.
Less than twenty years ago not a single mile
of railroad was built : now there are live roads
extending across the State from cast to went,
and a number from north to south. The gr. at
est amount of business is done by the Chicago
and Northwestern, and the Ito& Island and
l'ac tic roads. The former crosses the Minis
sippl river into lowa at Cliuton.p isms through
s of the wealthiest counties which lowa
can boast, and unites with the Union Pacific
railroad at Council Buffs. The latter crosses
the Mississippi at Davenport, runs almost par
allel with the former, anti unites with it at the
Bluffs. Some of the roads running north and
south are to unite with the Northern Pacific
road. One road under contemplation is to
commence at Monroe in this county on the Des
Moines Valley road, pass through this place,
and unite with roads in the northern part of
lowa and southern part of Minnesota. Other
road are in process of construction, and it will
not he long ete lowa will have the Iron horse
running through every.
,cout ty.
The mineral resources are not so fully devel
oped as in some othes States. Lead Is mined
extensively near Dubuque, and Bituminous
coal is found in vat' •us counties.- In this
coun iy,—Jasper—a number of mines are beihg
worked, the veins averaging• nearly tutu feet
thick.
Crops along the C. R. I. and P. R. R. do
not look very promis ng, owing to the lateness
of the spring. And it Is feared the corn crop
w 111 not yield much more than half the amount
it yielded last year. Wheat looks muen better
here than In western Pennsylvania and north
ern Ohio and Indiana, and it will undoubtedly
yield an average crop.
Newton, the place wherel am now stopping
at, and a town of about three thousand inhab
Rants, is situated on the C. R. I. and P. R. R.
about thirty miles east of Des Moines. Her
citizens recently voted a five per cent tax in
aid of a new railroad, subscribed twelve thou
sand dollars to purchase the right of way
through the town, and built a new School
(louse at an expense of nearly fifty thousand
dollars. 'the school building is an elegant
structure, and would do credit to a much
Urger city. There are no saloonsin this place
and no liquor is allowed to be sold excepting
for medical purposes. U. S.
TIIE COST OF A PRESIDENTIAL
CAMPARiN.
The following forcible and Important article
is from the North American, the leading com
mercial paper of Philadelphia :
Every four years there occurs regularly in
the United States such an intense, general and
prolonged political excitement, that trade and
finance are alike unsettled and irregular, and
in tact business is quoted no dull and stagnant.
The reason is that a Presaleut of the United
States is then to be chosen, and that the hand
ing of the public moneys and the control of
the financial piney of the government have
grown to be matters of the most vital import
ance. During the twelve years of Republican
rule the country has been remarkably pros.
perous. Industry of all kinds has advanced
steadily and extraordinarily ; the volume of
trade has increased enormously, and the fiscal
capacity of the nation has never before been
so great. This has resulted, first, from the
protective tariff p diey which has been firmly
adhered to through all this long period, and
has acted like a tropical sun upon a fertile and
well watered soil in warming vegitation into
lie ; and secondly from the caution, prudence
and stability that have been the predominaut
characteristics of our financial policy. Nevi r
before has the nation been twelve years with
,ut a great and ruinous fiscal and commercial
revulsion. But during all this period there
nos been none in America. Even the awful
financial tornado that visited London on the
.cession of the failure of Overend, Gurney &
On., produced no corresponding storm in the
United mates. For the first time In our his
tory we were really safe and independent
without regard to foreign troubles. And,
still more strangely,the nation proved impreg•
cockily strong even against a fearful local storm
within, as in the case of the celebrated Black
Friday in New York.
In the current campaign there is a nervous
apprehension entertained by business men lest
some radical commercial and financial changes
,nay be impending as the result of the preel
.lential election. With Grant they are gener
ally satisfied. His policy means stability,pfu.
deuce anti adherence to safe precedents and
well established lines. When business men
..xemine Mr. Greeley's programme they find
it to be that 01 a person who, while totally
.gnorant of the laws of finance,
currency,
'tanking, exchange, commerce and revenue,
yet has the conceit to imagine himself, an
oracle on these subjects. Men turn uneasily
to the record of the Jackson Administration,
and read the sufferings of the nation under a
rule, and ask whether credit Is again
to be assailed for the purposes of political de
magogues, and the nation doomed to undergo
another dreadful series' of experiments.
Mr. Greeley, therefore, might have the best
possible intentions, and yet be the worst man
who could be entrusted with Presidential
power. Of nattily, if we regard the business
luteseBtB of the country as things to be espe
cially and carefully guarded, we can think of
Lothing more dangerous than to entrust with
he a .traordinary powers of the Presidential
(Alice a mere crude the. xi,ot, who seems unah'e
,o completion,' the most ordinary rules of fis
cal management, and yet fancies that he
knows everything. We cannot now call to
wind a single commercial journal in the .Re
public that endorses Mr. Greeley's fiscal views
notwithstanding that the politic.l — columns of
a number of commercial journals advocate
nis election. This single tact wlijoerve to
show the cause of the uneasiness Una prevails
in business circles. •
. . .
Men sometimes ask why so much responsi-
Why ehould be attached to the President,
when Congress absorbs all powers of regula
Lion and legislation. The reason, at the pres
ent time, is that the influences now surround
ing Mr. Greeley are avowedly aiming to obtala
toe control of Congress through the factitious
excitement of tile Presidential election. All
sorts of schemes are being contrived to obtain
this control; and thus we have before us the
certain prospect that, If Mr. Greeley nod his
triends In New York can succeed in their
,chetnes, the whole commercial and financial
policy of the government will be revolution
ized. Everything is threatened at one and the
saute time. Mr. Greeley himself openly
abandons protection and surrenders the whale
subject to Congress, knowing at the same time
of this plan to secure a free-trade majority
there. 13e advocates, and his followers do nut
oppose, au attempt to resume the specie basis
without any 'preparation for it, the constr.
silences of which no tine can foresee. In fact.
he attacks the whole character of our Notional
currency and basking system, awl threatens
war upon them that bide fair to boa revival
of Andrew Jackson's anti-bank and a _ timredlt
era.
The report originating in the. Cincinnati
Enquirer to the effect that Richard Smith of
.110 Gazette was engaged in a movement to
•A!eure the withdrawal of Grant, in order to
bring out a candidate that would defeat Gree
ley, having obtained wide circulation, Mr.
Smith authorizes contradiction. Be Bays
there is no foundation for the report. He ad—
vocated tilt nomination of Grant before the
.i.sembling of the Convention, and believes
elm to be the strongest that could have been
chosen, and that fireoley will be defeated.

THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.
THE SALE COMPLETED.
The . Applause of Rebel Tunes.
BALTIMORE, July 10.—At 10 o'clock, the
time for assembling of the Convention, nearly
all the delegates were in their seats. ,The
balcony was crowded, but the amphitheatre
was not more than half full. The audience
was entertained by music, the favorite pieces
being received with applause, and especially
the old Confederate air " My Maryland."
The eorvention was called to order at
twenty minutes after 10 by ex-Senator Don
little, some time being taken up in securing
attention. In a few minutes. however,' the
Committee on Resolutions was called
and reported through the chairman the Cin
cinnati platform entire, as embracing ail that
was essential. This announcement was re
ceived with great applause, cheer after cheer
being given by delegates and auditors.
When the applause had died away .tx de
menu was made for the reading of the entire
platform which was complied with, every
punk in it being received with shouts of ap
plause.
'I he resolution insisting on one presiden
tial term, on which Mr. Greeley has so stout
ly insisted, is an old Whig doctrine and was
especially received 'With great approbation.
The chairman of Committee on Resolutions
then moved the adoption of the platform,
stating that t was simply the Cincinnati plat
form with nothing taken from it and nothing
added to it, ercept a brief preamble.
Be then demanded the previous question '
whereupon a scene of great confusion ensued.
Senator Bayard,of Delaware,proiested against
tae introduction of gag law. Mingled cheers
and hisses greeted this demand but the Presi
dent overruled the point. Senator Bayard
tw n appealed to the chairman of the com
mittee who refused to listen, because he was
uni er instructions from the committee and
great uproar ensued, cries coming from all
parts ol the house and the President restoring
order with great difficulty. The malcontents
were finally quieted When the Secretary com

THE CINCINNATI PLATFORM.
The following Is the platform adopted at
Cincinnati and which the Democrats, for ex
pediency sake, profess to have accepted in
good faith at Baltimore :
We, the Liberal Republicans of the United
States, In National Convention assembled at
Cincinnati, proclaim the following principles
as essential to just government :
Finn— We recognize the equality of all men
before the law, and hold thi t it is the duty of
Government in its dealings with the people to
mere nut equal and exact justice to all, of
whatever nativity, race, color, or persuasion,
religious or political.
' Second—W e pledge ourselves to maintain
'the union of these States, emancipation and
enfranchisement, and to oppose any reopening
of the questions settled by the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the
Con tltution.
• Third —We demand the immediate and ab
solute removal of all disabilities imposed on
account of the Rebellion, which was finally
subdued seven years ago, believing that uni
versal amnesty will result In complete pacifi
cation in all sections of the country.
Fourth—Local self•government, with im
partial suffrage, will guard the rights of all
ciizens more securely than any centralized
power. The public welfare requires the supra.:
macy of the civil over the military authority,
and freedom of person under the protection
of habeas corpus. We demand for the indi.
videsl the largest liberty consistent with pub
lic order ; for the State, self government, and
for the nation a return to the methods'ef
peace and the constitutional limitations Of
power.
llyth—The civil service of the Government
has become a mere instrument of partisan
tyranny and personal ambition and an object
of selfish greed. It lea scandal and reproach
Upon free Institutions, and breeds a demorali
zation dangerous to the perpetuity of republi
can government. We therefore regard such
thorough reforms of the civil service as ohe of
tire most pressing necessities of the hour ; that
honesty, capacity and fidelity constitute the
only valid claim to public employment ; that
offices of the Government cease to be smatter
of arbitrary favoritism and patronage; and
that public station become again a post of
honor. To this end it is imperatively required
that no President shall be a candidate for re
election.
Sixth,:—We demand a system of national
taxation which shall not unnecessarily inter
fere with the industry of the people, and which
shall provide the means necessary to pay the
expenses of the Government economical ad=
ministered, the pensions, the interest on the
public debt, and a moderate reduction anon . -
ally of the principal - thereof.; and recognizing.
that there aro in our midst honest butirrecon
&able differences of opinion whit regard to
Inc respective systems of Protection and Free
Trade, we remit the discussion of the subject
to the people In their Congressional Dietrichi,
and to t. o decision of Cungress tht.reon, whol
ly free of Executive interference or dictation.
Seventh. —The public credit must be sacrod'y
maintained, and we denounce repudiation in
every lorm and guise.
Eighth. —A speedy return to specie pay
ment is demanded alike by the highest consid
erations of commercial morality and honest
governtnent.
Ninth.—We remember with gratitude the
heroism and sacrifices of the soldiers and sail.'
ors of the Republic, and no act 'of ours shall
ever detract from their justly earned fame or
the full reward of their patriotism.
Tenth. —We are opposed to all turthergranta
of lands to railroads or other ' corporations.
The public domain should be held sacred to
actual settlers.
Eleventh—We hold that it is the duty of the
Government, In Its entercourao with foreign
nations, to cultivate the Iriendship of peace,
•iy, treating with all on fair and equal terms,
regarding it alike dishonorable either to de
mand what is not right, or to submit to what
is wrong.
Tiveljth.—For the promotion and success
of these vital principles and the support of the
candidates nominated by this Convention, we
invite and cordially welcome the co•opera—
lion of all patriotic citizens, without regard to
previous affiliations.
