The New York Journalof Commerce with reference to the bill which has just passefl Congress, relative to votes of the States lately in rebellion in the Presidential election says: + “It is an undesguised political de- vice, designed to make sure the elec- tion of Grant and Colfax by throwing out of theeleetoral college every South- "oe -on ITA LL ern Democratic State. We doubt whether any honorable man of either party can be tound to apologize for or extenuate this scheme. If realized it may achieve the success of Grant and Colfax, but it will forever redound to the disgrace of the party which permit- ted so flagrant a wrong to be done. If Congress should refuse to admit South- ern electoral votes ou the plea that the South is still so rebellious and not to might smile at the stupidity of such a statement and pity the Congress that knew no better. But to do it openly and avowedly, (or the same as avow- edly,) with the object of defeating nom- inees, this is a depth of shame, indeed, for the legislation of this country to be dragged into.” Other independent journals take the same view of the measure and its ef fects, Another journal says: “According to its provisions the States of Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina and Arkansas will be entitled to take part in the comingelection, they either hav- ing been already admitted to repre- Georgia will probably be excluded, as the lower house of her Legislature haz a Demo- cratic majority, which may reject the amendments. Mississippi, in defeat- possibility of participation in the polit- ical contest. With regard to Texas and Virginia, if even they should be carried by the Radicals, there is no to representation in time to take part in the election, as Congress will adjourn stitutions, and will scarcely meet again until after the conflict for the Presi- dency shall have been decided. Under assumed that there will be but six of the ex-rebel States represented in the electoral collere, unless the lower house secislature shall be which event there will be seven, repre- senting forty-seven votes.” Sg - The National Democratic and Con- servative Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Platform. First. Immediate restoration of all the States to their rights in the Union under the Constitution, and of civil gov- ernment to the American people. cal offenses, and the rerulation of the elective franchise in the States by their citizens, . Third. Payment of the public debt of the United States as rapid as prae- ticable ; all moneys drawn from the people by taxation, except so much as is requisite for the necessities of the gov- ernment, economically administered being honestly applied to such payment, and where the oblizations of the gov- ernment dy not expressly state upon their face, or the law under which they were issued does not provide that they right and in justice, be paid in the law- ful money of the United States. (Thun- ders of applause.) Fowrth. Equal taxation of every species of property according to its real value, including the government bonds, and other public securities. (Renewed cheering, and cries of “read it again.”) Fifth. Oae earrency for the govern- ment and the people, the laborer and the officeholder, the pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the bondhol- der. (Great cheering and cries of “read it again,”) The fifth resolution was again read, and again cheered. Steth. Yconomy in the administra- tion of the government ; the reduction of the standing army and navy; the abolition of the Freedmen’s Bureau (great cheering,) and all political in- strumentalities designed to secure negro supremacy ; simplification of the sys- tem, and discontinuance of inquisitori- al assessing and collecting internal rev- enue, so that the burden of taxation may be equalized and lessened, the credit of the Government and the cur- actments for enrolling the State milita into a national forces in time of peace, and a tariff for revenue upon foreign imports, and such equal taxation under the internal revenue laws as will afford incidental protection to domestic manu- factures, and as will, without impair- ing the revenue, impose the least bur- den upon and best promote and encour- age the great industrial interests of the country. Seventh. administration, the expulsion of ecor- rupt men from office, the restoration of rightful authority to, and the independ- ence of, the executive and judicial de- partments of the government ; the sub- ordination of the military to the civil power, to the end that the nsurpations of Congress and the despotism of the Reform of abuses in the sword may cease, Eighth. Equal rights and protection for naturalized and native-born citizens at home and abroad ; the assertion of American nationality which shall com- mand the respect of foreign powers and furnish an example and encouragement to people struggling for national integ- rity, constitutional liberty and indi- vidual rights ; and the maintenance of the rights of naturalized citizens against the absolute doetrine of immutable al- legiance, and the claims of foreign powers to punish them for alleged crimes committed beyond their juris- dictien. (Applause.) In demanding these measures and reforms we arraign the Radical party for its disregard of right, and the un- paralleled oppression and tyranny which have marked its career. After the most solemm and unani- mous pledge of both houses of Congress to prosecute the war exclusively for the maintenance of the government and the preservation of the Union under the Constitution, it has repeatedly vio- lated that most sacred pledge under which alone was rallied that noble vol- unteer army which earried our flag to victory. Instead of restoring the Union; it it, and subjected ten States, in time of profound peace, to military despotism there the right of trial by jury ; it has abolished the habeas éorprs—that most sacred writ of liberty ; it has over- thrown the freedom of speech and the and secret star chamber inguisitions | tribunals ; it has disregarded in time of peace the rights of the people to be free from searches and seizures ; it has entered the post and telegraph offices, and even the pri- vate reoms of individuals, and seizod their private papers and letters without any specific charge or notice of aflida- vit, as required by the organic law ; it has converted the American Capitol into a bastile; it has established a sys- tem of spies and official espionage to which no constitutional monarchy of Europe would now dare to resort; it has abolished the right of appeal on important constitutional questions to the supreme judicial tribunals, and threatens to curtail or destroy its orig- inal jurisdiction, which is irrevocably vested by the Constitution, while the learned Chief Justice has been sub- merely because he would not prosti- tute his high office to the support of the false and partisan charges prefer- red against the President. Its corrup- tion and extravagance have exceeded anything known in history, and by its frauds and monopolies it has nearly doubled the burden of the debt created by the war. It has stripped the Presi- dent of his constitutional power of ap- pointment, even of his own cabinet. Under its repeated assaults the pillars of the government are rocking on their base, and should it succeed in Novem- ber next and inaugurate its President, we will meet as a subiected and con- quered people amid the ruins of liberty and the scattered fragments of the sonstitution ; and we do declare and resolve that ever since the people of the United States threw off all subjec- tion to the British crown the privilege and trust of suffrage have belonged to the several States, and have been gran- ted, regulated and controlled exelusive: ly by the political power of each State respectively, and that any attempt by Congress, on any pretext whatever, to deprive any State of this right, or in- terfere with its exercise, is a flagrant usurpation of power which can find no warrant in the Coustitution, and if sanctioned by the people, will subvert our form of government, and can only end in a single centralized and consoli- dated government, in which the sepa- rate existence of the States will be en- tirely absorbed, and an unqualified despotism be established in place of a Federal Union of co-equal States ; and that we regard the reconstruction acts (so-called) of Congress, as such, are us- utpations, and ‘unconstitutional; revo lutionary. and void. FE That our soldiers and saildrs, who carried the flag of our eodiitry to vie- tory against a most gallant and deter- mined foe, must ever be gratefully re- membered, and all the guarantees giv- en in their favor must be faithfully carried into exection, That the public lands should be dis- tributed as widely HE possible among the people, and should be disposed of either under the pre-emption or home- stead laws, and sold in reasonable quan- tities, and to none but. actual oceu- pants, at the minimum price establish: ed by the government. When grants of the public lands may be allowed | necessary for the encouragement, of | important public improvements, the proceeds of the sale of such lands, and not the lands themselves, should be so applied. That the President of the United States, Andrew Johnson (applause) in exercising the power of his high office in resisting the ageressions of Congress upon the constitutional rights of the States and the people, 1s entitled to the gratitude of the whole American peo- ple, and in behalf of the Democratic party we tender him our thanks for his patriotic efforts in that regard. (Great applause.) Upon this platform the Democratic party appeal to every patriot, including all the Conservative element, and all who desire to support the Constitution and restore the Union, forgetting all past differences of opinion, to unite with us in the present great struggle for the liberties of the people, and that to all such, to whatever party they may have heretofore belonged, we exteud the right hand of fellowship, and hail all such cooperating with us as friends and brethren, (Applause.) rere le Mpa Patriotic Warning from a Distin- guished Soldier. Maj. Gen. W.R. Franklin, one of the bravest and best generals of the Union army, during the late civil war, of July, used this patriotic and pro- phetie language: “It. is the: duty of every military maa in a free country, when no longer in service, to return to their peaceful avocatsons, [applause] and if they de- sign to be heard in the civil councils of the nation, to take their places with other civilians, and by legal and usual means exert the influences which their They have right (and I mean it in the broadest sease of the term) to attempt to exercise influence or gain power from their positions as military men. [Prolonged applause.] The exercise of such influence will, in the end, be subversive of free institutions, and will surely prepare the grave ‘of liberty, paving the way for a military despot, who will rule this whole country with the sword, just as one-third of it has been ruled for the last three years. Under the influence of secret military societies, elections will in a ‘short time become the meanest farce, and Prace- torian hands will designate our Mayors, yositions as citizens give them. no Governors, and Presidents.” This warning comes from one who may well elaim the rightto be heard. Upon many a bloody field the bright sword of Frauklin flashed in stubborn battle. - Ha fought to save the liberties of this country, to re-unite the people of the hostile sections. Now he usks that what he and his comrads strove togain by the sword, shall not be de- stroyed by the sword, Shall this brave man’s wrriiing bein vain ? denis Washington Ltems. WasHINGgTON, July 15.

The five-twenties were a part of the public debt of which the covernment declares that such notes will be lawful money and legal tender. In reply to the argument in regard to the declarations of the Secretary of the Treasury and other government officers that the bonds were payable in coin, he said these opinions were based upon the practice of the government hereto- fore, and not upon the statutes author- izing their issue. They were in direct conflict with four public statutes. In his opinion the first duty of Congress isto take steps for a return to specie payment. He pronounced himself in favor of the bill, saying that the long term formed the only inducement to people to exchange a six per centbond for a fiveper cent bond. The delusion held out before the country that these bonds are tobe paid in coin only worh disaster by causing people to base their hopes on false impressions, = This ques- tion, in his opinion should be frankly met.

A colored Senator would be as good as a constitutional amendment, making all backward steps ‘imposible. The New York World suggests that a negro might be sent from Massachu- setts, in place of Sumner. Perhaps, he would not see the measure in so favor- able a light, if put in practice from that quarter. dil The Fenians for Seymour and Blair The following dispatch was read at the New York ratification meeting on Friday evening.

Pennsylvanians appreciate the fact attack, the troops of New York, thrown for ward by Governor Seymour, were hére and on the battleground, and not only saved the State but the Republic.

"The majority of the Judiciary Committee are under- stood to have consented to the bill) which was, however, opposed by the Chairman, Mr. Trumbullyin a speech. He took the grouud that Congress had no discretion in the matter, that the votes of every State were to be counted as received, and that, if the: result of the forthcoming Presidential election should depend on the votes of the Southern States, and if the result was made to turn out according to the par- tisan views of Corigress, the ‘country might be once more involved ina dis- astrous civil war.
