REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

Col.EOBEST B. BE ATE, of Schuylkill.
The Legislature a'lj'aroed on Saturday
the 27tli inst.
Both hfnei of tlie legislature on Friday
last agreed to tlie conference report Tjn tlie
appropriation bill.
The Resistry law is nut to be disturbed
at this session of the legislature, the confer
ence committee having failed to agree.
The two rital candidates for Governor i:i
Kentucky Laslie, Democrat, and Ilnrhm,
Republican tire stumping the S:a;e to
gether. Vice President Coifax, who ha.s been i!i
for more than a week, is still in a critu-al
condition, but hopes are entertained for hi
reeuvery.
The unanimity with iii.-h the Ilapu Hi
can press throughout the State have endors
ed the ticket and platform of the Republi
can Convention, augur.- weil fur a triumph
ant victory in October next.
Jeff Davis on Friday last, on the occasion
of a serenade, at Augusta, Ga., faid lie did
not "conceive that the principles of the
lost cau.-c were dead" that he looked
for the ftriod when justice would be dwte

have to suc'jomb to JelT, notwithstanding
tha,t NINTU resolution.
.
The Democratic party h.-tving gone to
staves during the rebellion, the Penn'a State
Convention of that party, last week, called
in a C'per to reconstruct it. But, the ef
fort will prove futile, notwithstanding some
new st ten have been mixed with the rotten
remnants of the old vessel. It won't win,
gentlemen; the paint is too thin.
The Wilmington Commercial observes :
When the Democracy agree, as Vallandig
ham propose3, .o acqniesc in the great re
sults of the Republican policy, what will
that show ? Will their approval of our es
tablished principles make Republicanism
weaker and Democracy stronger? When
they fall into ranks behind us, and utter
exclamatTons of delight over our finished
work, to whose credit does that go ?
The Philadelphia Press, in referring to
the men composing the city delegation to
the Democratic convention, says : "Among
all the delegates from this great city to the
convention but one or two Mr. Gruih !
among the number can be said to be rep
resentatives of the better class of their par
ty. Nearly all of the re.-t are of the rowdy,
ruffian crew that apire to the political des
potism here that reigns in New York.
Wc are inclined tather strongly to doubt
the sincerity of Vallandigham's recent pro
fessions. The New York Times very truly
remarks that a man who has emerged so
lately from the rebel lines need not com
plain if some little skepticism is iiiaiii!'e.s!C'l
as to the sincerity of his conversion. At
any rate, the party for whom he attempts to
speak must produce something better than
the husks of empty pru!e-ions fefore they
can expect to uiakea:iy appreciable advance
in publi eonSdouce.

The Democratic Platform.
- The Democracy assembled t Ilarrisburg
on Wednesday last, and nouifciatcd Gen.
William McCandless, of Philadelphia, lor
Auditor General, and Cipt. John II. Coop
er, of Lawrenca county, for Surveyor Gen
eral. '
The platform adopted by the Convention,
is well drawn up, and carefully vrorded, but
of a very superficial character in many re
spects. 'The first resolution commits the
Democracy in fvor of a Constitutional
convention, ',nt omits to say anj thing is
reference; iQ the Democrats in the Legisla
tiro at the prescut session voting against a
dill for such a convention. .The second
charges the Republicans with a relusal to
change the Philadelphia Registry Law, sr
that the4 Democracy ,couli curry that eily
and the State by fraudulent votes The
third endorses the action of their friends in
the Stale Senate upon the apportionment
bill, bat no reference is made to the great
expanse entailed upon the State by said
"action"i3 prolonging the sessionoftbe leg
islature. The fourth denounces Congress
for passing a law to enforce a bill to prevent
the election of Congressmen by fraud. The
fifth endorses Senator Carl Schurz, for his
speech at St. Louis, although the Senator
has since declared himself a true Republi
can a rather singular endorse! erit. The
sixth declares that the national debt must
Ie paid, evidently to please some of the
Democratic '"bloated" landholders. The
seventh pledges the party against the exist
ing national system of taxing the rich man
ir, prct'crciice to the poor man to raise reve
nue to ay the national debt contracted du
ring the late Democratic rcbclli u in the
South. The eighth deprecates all strife be
tween labor and capital, and opposes the
employment of "servile" ioreign laborers
I'V those who need help a clap trap senti
ment with which they hope to deceive tlie
honest but unwary laboring men of the State
and country. The ninth recognizes '"the
binding obligation of nil the provisions of
the Constitution of the United States as it
is "nigger," "heathen Chinee," and all.
The tenth pledges the party to economy and
in opposition to a multiplicity ot officers and
salaries a rather severe hit at the Demo
cratic Senators who but recently increased
the salaries of the judges of this State, and
multiplied offices by creating several new
law judges, etc. The eleventh favors the
repeal of the Income tax, which would ex
onorate August Belmont, Fernando Wood,
and other rich nabobs, from paying tho pit
tance of two and a half dollars on each thou
sand of their income to liquidate that na
tional debt which the "sixth" resolution
declares "must be paid." The twelfth de
clares that "the present tariff is oppressive
and should be revised," an admirable way
to bring the wages of the laborers in this
country down to a level with the pauper
wages in foreign countries. The thirteenth
sheds crocadile tears for the soldiers and
sailors, (who they termed "Lincoln's hell
hounds" during the war fur the preservttion
of the Union), by asking for an equaliza
tion of bounties in land and money for their
patriotic f ervices in the late war a matter
j long since attended to by a Republican Pres
ident and a Kcpublican Congress.
That very little confidenre can be placed
in the professions made in t hi f)utKruj,it ir
only necessary to state that the Convention
was controlled and run by the notorious
Billy MeMullin, and his chums, and that
the ninth resolution was only adopted after
a vigorous discussion by the clo.e vote of
by
7t yeas to 53 nays.
Suffice it to say, for the present, that I lie
result of the vote on the ninth resolution
was the signal for sonic very f-eere dentin
ciations and deep curse.-, lrom those who
were not ur.tler the immediate control of
Billy MeMullin. But, more anon.
The End.
Paris is once more in the hands of France.
The inob having been driven from their ad
vauce I position by assault, they must mi
surrender to the Versailles army. But,
beaten out.-ide the walls, driven fio:n the
ramparts, and broken at Montmartrc, the
Communists still are defiant and falling back
on Belleville. Slowly retreating from the
heart ot the city, they defend even street
leading to their stronghold in the
eastern
suburbs, and lay waste with lira those ave-
nues which they are compelled to abandon.
test is one which cannot be iot;g sustained.
Against the three several columns of Mc-
Mahoti the insurgents must give way even
tually, but a mob inspired as this of I'aiis
is by the dcsperat!.7i of their cause and the
fear of puni.shmeut will spiead ruin and des
olation with trightlul rapidity. A day or
two more ot this desultory lighting must
subdue them, but in that time half of Paris
may be inade a burning waste.
The :nur'ents stili hold the Buttes of
Chamont at Belleville and Pantin, and from
these elevated positions continue to shell
Pat is. The Buttes are natural defenses,
difficult to scale or turn, and a very smal'
force can here make formidable resistance.
The rage of the people of Paris against the
Communists has been greatly increased by
th?ir wanton destruction of property, and
the excesses of the leaders have cost theiu
what litt!! of popularity or sympathy they
eouitnanded. They are tliot whenever cap
tured ; and several of them, including Doru-
browski, Rigault, jhe Commune Chief of
Police, and Courbet, the engineer w ho de
stroyed the column in the Place Vendome,
have already fallen victims to the just rage
of i heir captor.
Devastation has mareI the retreat of the
Communists, by the destruction of many of
the finest buildings in the city. The wan
ton destruction of all kinds of property is
beyond precedent, and the his of life is
terrible. It i said that one-fourth of lb
city has been destroyed, and tr.at fiftir thnn.
