General Hancock as a Candidate. The Democratic National Conven tion last week nominated General Hancock, of Pennsylvania, for Presi dent The General has command of the Division of the Atlantic, with headquarters on Governor's Island, near New York. Congratulations were showered on him in numbers immediately after he was nominated. The first body of men to call on him was composed of officers at head quarters. The General arose and made a speech. He 6aid, "I will shake hands with you, gentlemen." That was all he said. If Republi cans were to do as Democrats did when Grant was a candidate, they would call him a thick-headed mili tary man, not even able to make a speech of three sentences. They would measure bis ability by the amount of talk he can get off. Bat the great Republican party never has been a party of "mud-slingera," and they do not now propose to engage in the business. Their mission is not to belittle manhood ; their mission is to elevate manhood, and having de stroyed slavery to elevate manhood generally, it would be forgetting their own high and lofty mission were they to stoop to abuse a single man, such as the nominee of the Democratic party. General Hancock was a good sol dier and an able general, and when he drew his sword in favor of Na tional Life, he did just what it was expected he would do, when he was educated at the public expense at West Point He won his great fame at Gettysburg, as against the con federate General Lee, but Gettys burg was not fought for Hancock ; it was not fought for Lee ; it was for and against slavery. Hancock was for freedom and Lee was for slavery, and if neither o them had been there it would have been all the same. The fight was not for a man hero ; it was for principle. Viewed in that light, Hancock" and Lee were no more than others. They performed their part on one side or the other, and that is all. Lee is dead, and the Rebel cause has lost his valuable ser vice. Hancock has been nominated by the party that opposed him at Gettysburg and called him a u Lin coln hireling." The party that was against him at Gettysburg have gained one man by nominating him ; they have gained Hancock, but they have not gained one "jot or tittle" of principle, nor has the principle of free government lost, except to the extent of one man. A man has changed sides, and that is aiL The loss of a man does not affect a prin ciple. Andrew Curtin left the ranks of the party ngaintt slavery ; Horace Greeley, for the bauble of a Presi dential nomination, left the party of freedom, and Republicanism did not suffer. The Free North loved both Curtin and Greeley, and it almost broke its heart to 6ee them go, but v.hcn they became the standard bearers of the old champions of slavery, that had deluged the land in blood and gave millions of debt as n inheritance to freemen to pay, the North bade them good by. Han cock was a gooJ, and an able general, but when he becamO the standard bearer of the chieftains of the' Lost Cause who rule the Democratic party, he stepped beyond the lines of the free party, and tuey now bid ixiij good by. If he was right in 1863, at Gettysburg, he is wrong now, for the principles of the contending parties hve not been changed. There were 4bousands of Democratic sol diers in the army of the North, but they did not fight for Hancock or any other general ; they were not soldiers of fortune, but they were soldiers against disunion and slavery, and now when a favorite general has been beguiled into becoming the leader or standard bearer of the old party of disunion and slavery they will no more follow him than did the Republicans follow such distinguish ed civilians as Curtin and Greeley when they walked over into the same camp whence Hancock has gone. Democratic Platform. The platform that was adopted at .... i -1 ii j i VJincinnau rjy iue democracy is, wiiu an exception or two, a fabric of in consistency. The First resolve is in regard to the Constitution, and traditions of the Democracy. How can they ex pect to gain favor by referring to the traditions of shivery, which are the greater part of the traditions of the Democratic party. As to the Con stitution, their effort at Rebellion tells how they regarded that instru merit Buchanan and Black consid ered it a "rope of sand." The Second resolve is in regard to the centralization of power. Here again the Democracy had better rise and explain how a more cen tralized system of government could be devised than that of slavery, which was the inspiration of the Democracy, and to-day the hope of its revival is the inspiration of the friends of the Lost Cause. The Thied resolve, as far as it re lates to honest money and the public faith, is good, but the last sentence, which favors a tariff for revenue only, means free trade. The resolution is a double-erfder. The Foceth resolvo favors the 6ub oi dinatiou of the military to the civil power. I be sentiment is rigiit enough, bnt it awakens a smile when it is realized what a mockery such a resolution is in the face of the fact that all civilians have been put aside and a military man taken as a candi date to administer the civil Democ racy. An Indian would shrug his shoulders and say, "Ugh! me no un derstand dat," and white people can see no further. The Fifth resolve is in regard to a free ballot Here again the Democ racy introduce the clap-trap, for Re bellion was crushed out that the free dom of the ballot and common rights may be preserved and enlarged. The sixth resolve is in regard to the use of the military on election days. If the reader will just reflect that the efforts of the Democratic leaders to divide and destroy the Re public was the first cause of all the ballot-box legislation they will better understand the Cincinnati Conven tion when it ventilated itself through the sixth resolution. The Sevekth resolve is in regard to the Tilden and Hayes campaign and the wrangle that followed, when it became known that the election was so cIobo that one elector was claimed by both parties. The resolution ig nores the fact that the Democracy were not satisfied that the regular means as provided in the Constitu tion should be employed to deter mine the count They do not tell that they chunmored for a commis sion till Congress gave them one, and that when the very commission of their own choosing decided against them, they still shout, " Hurrah lor Tilden H The Eighth resolve is so indefinite that the reader inclines to the opin ion that the Convention overlooked it It must have been written by a man who had been drenched on Cin cinnati beer. The Ninth resolve is a left-handed regret that Samuel J. Tilden has de clined to become a candidate for the Presidency, the hollow mockery of which Air. Tilden will plainly under stand when he looks at the simple fact that the Cincinnati Convention would not even allow his letter, de clining a nomination, to be read in convention. The Terra resolve is not poison ous. The Eleventh resolve is worthy of consideration. The Twelfth resolve is a double one, and the first half of it may be construed two or three ways. The Thirteenth resolve is hard to understand, for it claims to 2er pro tection to the poor against both the "cormorants, and the commune." How the Democracy can claim to protect the poor, when its leaders were in favor of slavery, and set np rebellion in the interest of slavery, is one of the things that the Democra cy should explain. The inconsistency of the thirteenth resolution is enough to turn the reader against the party. They had better left such clap-trcp stuff out The Fourteenth and last resolve congratulates the country upon the thrift of the Democratic Congress in reducing the public expenditures $40,000,000 a year. It congratulates the countrv upon the promised change of administration. As to the 10,000,000 per year saved, that is one of the clean cuts of the Dem ocracy, out of the "whole cloth." As to a chaage of administration, that will be a point to settle next Novem ber. The late Cincinnati Platform, with out anything else, should be suffi cient to defeat the Democracy by a large majority. Read the platform as published in full in another col umn. Democratic Ratification Meeting. Laniz Posting Bills as They do in the West The Wire of Editor Carman A Big Banner, by Editort Bonsai I and Jackman--What Mr. Mozer says Should be Done With the Man Who Says that Hancock Swears View of Other Leaders of the Democracy Editor Jackman Calls the Meeting to Order and .Yames the OJJicers E. S. Doty, Esq., Sr, the President of the Meeting His Speech Speech of D. D. Stone, Eq., and Speech of A. J. Patterson, Esq. When the news from Cincinnati was received in this place it stirred the Pemocracy to no nncointr;a degree tbai if, one portion of the party was profoundly moved. Immediately beads were cat together, and it was agreed tbat a ratification meeting should be beld in the open air in front of tbe Court House. Tbe nroral of a rati fication meeting seemed to rivB life to nearly all of tbe leaders that hCri of tbe movement, and they perched aroint. in places along Main street as thick almost as on tbe day of a Democratic convention. Mr. Lantz, while in tbe West, bad learned bow to post a town with bills, and forthwith proceeded to put bis new information into practice. He posted bis bills everywhere, but the pavement seemed to be tbe favorite place. Ha paited tbem down on tbe brick, and as Republican ladies passed tbe posters they did not do as Democratic Southern ladies used to do when tbey passed a '"boy in blue" on tbe pavement of a Southern city, by gathering np tbe skirts of ber dress and darling off sidewise as if from some repulsive thing. Mr. Lantz was ably seconded in tbe posting business by Mr. John Garman. Editor Garman was too busy laying the wires for tbe meeting to give attention to tbe posters Editors Bonsall and Jackman deemed it just tbe time to put their banner on tbe ontor wall, and forthwith sent a big boy and a little boy on to tbe street to proclaim tbe joyous news to the Democracy that a nomination bad been made at Cincinnati and that all should come and ratify. The big boy carried tbe banner and the little boy rang a bell, but neither of them shouted, "Sold," or "For sale," bnt tbey went tbe rounds of tbe town peaceably, with all tbe boys saving in tbeir own minds, " 1 11 go to tbe ratification meeting. Merchant Parker was a little off be cause Tilden bad not been noinio ted, bat be rallied after be craoked a joke, and thought Presidential mill stones are bard to see through. How ever, if tbe Democracy eao forgive Hancock for banging a woman like Mrs. Surratt, bs is of tbe opinion that he ean be elected. Lawyer MoMeen ex pressed more eagerness for a tilt in politics than sinoe bs was eleoted Dis- ! trict Attorney, and now be believes that be will waive bis preference for a civilian for the office of President. Cigar merchant Deering was solicited to go np into Milford and get np a boom lor tbe ratification meeting. Cancer Parker was placid in bis smiles over tbe demonstration of the erring breth ren as if attending a social gathering. fcnnmerstor Watt felt as positqrs of tbe success of Hancock at of any event in bis lifs before. Lawyer Parker moved around as if tbe whole business is a joke, that be will shout for Han cook, when bnt a few years sgo he was of tbe firm opinion that the General and all tbe boys in bine were tbs mer cenary troops of Abe Lincoln. He looked as if wonld like to boom up tbe record of Hancock, and boom down tbe record of Garfield. Enumerator Jen kins felt jubilant, but be could not be induced to go to Milford to get recruits for tbe meeting. Liquor merchant Mo zer was feeling so elated tbat he eould not help expressing the belief tbat tbe man who says tbat Hancock swears like a Tnrk should be banged forthwith. Lditor Jackman was stunned into si lence, bnt whether from joy, disap pointment, fright, or what, no one could tell. Merchant Yeakly was re joiced, and bis face beamed the delight of bis heart. Dr. Banks said nothing, only ence in awhile ejaculated, "Good! good!" Janitor McNulty was rather non-committal. Tbe only dampening episode on Main street was tbat which overtook Chides Lowery when a buck et of water cooled bis brow. So they worked along for quite s while till the? had matters in sbape with Esquires Doty, Sr., V. D. Stone and A. J. Pat terson in training for a speeeb, each, in tbs evening, and then tbey subsided into tbe even' tenor of their respective pursuits, till Evening. When the dusk of evening begaa to fall, tbe Band was brought out, and was sent around to inspire tbe multitude, and after traversiog the streets, and after a tonr to Patterson, it led the orowd to the Court House yard, where the meeting was beld. Nearly all tbe bov in town were there. A number of men were there. Editor J sckmac called tbe meeting to order and announced E. S. Doty, Esq , Sr., as President. Mr. Doty, on taking tbe chair, delivered a speech. Mr. Doty always makes a rood speeoh. If bis lot bad been oa-t in s eity, or great business place, wbere men of wealth often give dinners to each other, be would have become one of tbe best of after-dinner speech makers. His speech was just tbe kind of a speeeh tbat a President of a Democratic meeting may make. He swallowed tbe soldier, Hancock, with out a grimmaoe, and expressed himself satisfied with the work cf tbe Cincin nati Convention, and was full cf ex pressions of hope for the restoration of the Democratic party to power. Having delivered bis speech, be ex pressed pleasure in introducing D. D. Stone, Esq. Mr. Stone is a lawjer, and is one of tbe editors of the Tribune. Is began in a long-measured tone of voice, just as if made little difference to bim bow long tbe far end of a sen tence might be in coming to the front. He, too, is a good speaker, and be, too, swallowed Hancock without as much as a grimmaoe ; indeed be smilei over it as if be enjoyed the diet. Perhaps it was because be and Hancock fonght on opposite sides at Gettysburg, tbat bis tongue was eloquent. Perhaps be bad the futnre outlined in bis mibd. Pos sibly be saw bis own general, General Ma Loo, who does not weigh one hun dred pounds, but who now is a United States Senator trout Virginia, along side of tbe stalwart six-footer and two hundred pounder, Gcnersl Haucock, shaping tbe policy for Hancock to run the Government to suit tbe South. Possibly be dreamed with his eyes open, tbat with Hancock as President, and Mahon, and Hampton and Butler as United States Senators, and many otber Confederate soldiers in Congress, tbe "Lost Cause" may be redeemed through the agency of Congressional enact ments to which they could hope to get tbe signature of Hancock, if tbey can get bim into the Presidential cbair. He said that the election of Hancock will destroy sectionalism. Mr. Stone was unfortunate in tbe use of tbe word "sectionalism," for that was the word most extensively used before Rebelliou took place, and praotically it meant tbat tbe slaveholder could advocate everywhere tbat be pleased, bnt that if a man would go into tbe States of the South and advocate tbe freedom of tbe races be could expeot only one of two things to overtake bim eithor submit to be shot, or leave tbe country. If the election of Hancock to tbe Presi cency is to bring about sucb a state of unequal rights as tbat, be can never be elected ; and the surest way for tbe people of tbe country to prevent suob a state of inequality being brought about is to reject Hancock by sn over whelming majority. He said tbe South rn men rejoice over tbe nomination ; it w.-'l iTing nnity to tbe distracted Democrat ?r,J " even Joun Kelly, Chief of NeV Vork Tammany, he said, bad come np to tfork of ratification of the nomination. How Kelly would have considered the exnreio?s Of Mr. Stone can only be coDjeotureu, iCT of all the men tbat -tbe Democracy sat hardest on, among themselves at Cincinnati, was John Kelly. They did not know how to get rid of Til den and his claim, but when Kelly cams forward and boldly said that Tammany would defeat Tilden they put tbe old gentleman overboard, and then, also, deliberately kicked Kelly and bis friends overboard, and now both tbeir ancle, Samuel J , and John Kelly, have the sulks ; but tbat isn't of much socount to tbe Republicans, only tbat Mr. Stone might have explained it when be introduced Mr. Kelly. He said that if Hanoock is elected be will take his seat Everybody will agree with Mr. Stone tbat is just what be should do, sod everybody tbat is anybody will say tbat is just what we will help bim do, but that is not the point tbat Mr. Stone wanted to make. It was a stroke at Hayes, tbe present first-rate President. Ibe impression that tbe speaker wished to awaken, is that Tilden was elected and that be fsiled to take bis seat. Bat Mr. Stone, when be insinuated in tbat way, insin uated what was certainly said in the Convention at Cincinnati when 11 an eock was nominated. It was there boldly deelsrad tbat Tilden is an ex Ptesident, and tbat the Electoral Com mission tbat settled the dispute or wran gle over tbe Presidential election in 1876 was a crime. Certainly Mr. Stone knows tbat tho work of the Eleo toral Commission was no crime. He knows tbat kny resort to violence after its result bad been reached would havs been a greater outrage than the at tempted secession of tbs 8outh, for tbs Electoral Commission was tbe ebild of tbe Democracy. Tbe Demooracy pro posed to settle the wrangle in that way, and the Republicans agreed to tbe Democratic proposal. Tbe Commission was the result of Congressional delib eration. It was reached through the forms of lsw and bad tbe approval of all when it was established. He boped God will prevent further fraternal strife. Tbat is a hope tbat everybody will join in, and tbs probability is tbat the pub lio mind will be so influenced, tbat the vote will be so overwhelming tbat there can be no dispute about, as onto whom the mantel of the Presidency has fallen. He said tbat in 185G, a convention at Cincinnati had nominated James Buchanan and bs was elected, and tbat therefore tbe nomination of Hancock at Cincinnati is ominous of success. Mr. Stone happened to miss a scrap of history, and tbat scrap is an important one in oonncction with bis statement ; it is tbat at Cincinnati Horace Greeley was nominated for tbe Presidency. He did not state tbat tbey beguiled Mr. Greeley into a nomination, expecting to win tbe Presidency, and tbat now tbey have taken a Northern soldier, hoping thereby to beguile a sufficient number of people to give them the Presidency through bim. He said, there is nothing to be said against Han cock. If be bad said tbat people this campaign are looking above men ; that tbey are looking at principle, tbe prin ciple that triumphed in the war, npon which to rest the destiny of tbe Re public four years mors, be wonld have been nearer tbe situation. He said the South will be solid for Hanoock. He spoke of tbe Constitution, bnt be failed to tell tbat tbe Constitution was of no account to the secessionists of tbe Southern States. The Democracy have given so many constitutions sway tbat when tbey talk about tbe old instru ment one almost expects to bear of tbem violation it. He said tbat tbe Democracy is the friend of the poor He forgot tbat tbe management of tbe Democracy is in favor of slsvery, snd that slavery as system is not consid ered to ba frieudly to the interests of the poor. If it can be proven by tbe Democracy that a system of slavery is to the highest interests of tbe poor, then the Democracy may set np tbe plea that tbe Democraoy is tbe friend of tbe poor. Mr. Stone's speech was sn able one; and it was attentively listened to, and the committee on ap plause gave all tbe encouragement tbey knew bow. A. J. Patterson, Esq., was tbe next speaker mtroauced by tbe President. It was never our fortune to bear Mr Patterson deliver so well as at this meeting. He said that twenty-four years sgo tbs Democratic party nominated James Buchanan at Cincinnati, and be was elected President. But be forgot to tell tbat James Buchanan was such a weak time-serving man that be was molded, as a potter molds bis clay, by tbe lead era of tbe Democracy, snd tbat when tbe leaders of tbe Democracy were for rebellion, Mr. Buchanan could not say no, but that be bad Judge Black, an astute lawyer, to insinuate that the Constitution is a " rope of sand," that it neither opposed nor favored rebellion under tbe doctrine of secession, and that, therefore, he, President J sites Buchanan, most heeds be powerless to stay the work of rebellion. He forgot to tell tbat Mr. Buchanan in a sort of a boastful way would tell bis intimate friends tbat "after me tbe deluge," proving conclusively bow be kuew of tbe work of tbe plotters against ftee government, bow be bad yielded to tbeir influence, snd tbat is just wby tbe country will so overwhelmingly de feat Hancock. While tbey know tbat be was a good soldier, and while tbey know tbat be was called a Lincoln hire ling, and every otber cgly name, and now see tbe men who called bim sncb names, and so tried to dishonor bim, gather around bim, tbe facts of tbe disaster of the James Buchanan admin istration rises vividly before their minds, and will cause tbem to reject Hancock, not for Hancock's sake, but because tbey fear be will be a tool in the bands of men wbo do not believe in Northern civilisation ; that be will be an instru ment in tbe hands of men wbo believe tbat slavery is tbe right system for tbe government of society. He said tbat four years after the Cincinnati conven tion tbat nominated Mr. Buchanan, tbe Democracy met in Charleston, S. C, in National Convention, and there split, which if they had not done would bave resulted in tbe eleotion of another Dem ocratic Administration, and then it would have fallen to the lot of Dem ocratic administration to put down rebellion. Certainly, that may an swer Mr. Patterson for a figure of speech, and it does credit to his ability at ingenuity, but the fact is against him that it was under a Dem ocratic administration that rebellion was organized and that one State after another seceded, claiming, and not only claiming, but also really en tering into full possession of all United States property that they could lay their hands ou. He said tit that the Democrats made a great mistafcel Bnt he did not say that the great majority of the leaders of the Democracy were in lavor oi se cession and rebellion, and in favor of whst he smoothly caiiOd a mistake, and that is why the Democratic administration could say, "After me the deluge." He did not tell that so strongly were the leaders of " tho Democracy in sympathy with the movement of the South, that it was proposed to get the State conventions of Pennsylvania and New York to declare that tbe interests of the States mentioned lay with the South, and therefore steps should be taken to twite with the Southern movement He said that the Democracy want to correct their mistake, and that they have taken Hancock, who was a loyal soldier, to da it with. For Mr. Patterson to say bo, was to express a noble senti ment, and is another tribute to his ingenuity, but he may indeed be "counting without his host" Han cock was a Democratic soldier, and a first-rate one at that, bnt it was his duty to be as good a soldier as he could be, and being blest with fine soldierly qualities he developed to be a first-class general, just rn it was his duty to do. He was educated at West Pojnt as a soldier, to serve the (Government wbenever it needed jus services, and if he hid not come for ward he would have been dirthct m the first duty that he owed to the Government He could not nave been a rebel unless he had been one doubly steeped in the pool of rebel lion. Lee, Breckinridge, Davis and others put in the plea or excuse for themselves that their States had se ceded, and that therefore they were i' ratified but no such plea could lave been put in for Hancock; for ' the State of Pennsylvania bad not seceded. If he had gone over to rebellion he would have been even worse than Lee and others, for they threw themselves behind the seces sion of their States for justification, which" he could not have done. He was a good Boldier, an able com mander, and yet with all that no man can vouch for him, that he can stand as proof against the schemes and seductive influence of the chiefs of the Lost Causa if he be elected Pres ident of the Republic. A man may be ever so good, and ever so able, but, unless he has passed the ordeal of temptation he does not know the full scope of his powers. Put Han cock in tbe Presidential chair, sur round him with the chieftans of the Lost Cause, and knowing, as he will know, if he ever gets to the Presi dency, that they put him there, what may they not do with him. The peo pie of the Republic who favor the Free System of government of the North cannot afford to moke the ex periment cf .electing Hancock to the Presidency. Mr. Patterson said that by electing him, the rights of the States will be guaranteed. The say ing may be all right, but it is one of those kind of sayings that a member of the Lost Cause can say with the same heartiness that Mr. Patterson said it He said that he is the can didate of the people who favor per sonal liberty. If he had said that the rigorous chieftans of the Han cock party favored the personal lib erty of one class of people, the his tory of the past would have been more fully recognized, and what has token place in the past may take place again. He said the election of Hancock will settle the "bloody shirt' business. That is a question tbat only the experiment of the election of General Hancock can solve, and the experiment will be attended with too much danger to make it He said when he thinks of Hancock he thinks of Leonidas and other great Greek soldiers, who served their countryj he brought glory to the arms of Government He said Han cock has pluck ; he will be bold and fearless. But he did not add that therefore, if he goes wrong under the lead of the old leaders of the Democracy and Rebellion, he may prove to be a dangerous man. In his concluding remarks Mr. Patterson paid his respects to Mr. English, the Democratic candidate for Vice Presi dent, and took a tilt at Garfield, Credit Mobilier, and so forth, after which the meeting adjourned. The boys then built a bon fire in the square. The Platform. The Doctrine of the Democrats for the Coming Campaign. Tbe following is the platform adopt ed by tbe National Democratic Con vention at Cincinnati : Tbe Democrats of the United States in convention assembled declard : First. We pledge ourselves soew to tbe constitutional doctrines snd tra ditions of the Democratic party, as illus trated by tbe teaching and example of a long line of Democratic statesmen aod patriots and embodied in tbe plat form of tbe last National Convention of the party. Second. Opposition to centralization and to tbat dangerous spirit of en croaebmeut which tends to consolidate tbe poweis of all the departments in one, and thus to create whatever be the form of government a real des potism. No sumptuary laws; separa tion of Church and State Icr tbe good of each ; oommon schools fostered and protected. Third. Home rule ; bonest money, consisting of gold and silver snd paper convertible into coin on demand ; tbe strict maintenance of tbe public faith, State aod national, snd a tariff for rev enue only. FoL'RTil. The subordination of tbe military to the civil power snd a gen eral aud thorough reform of tbe civil servioe. Fifth. Tbe right to a free ballot is the right preservative of all rights, snd mast and shall be maintained in every part of the United States. Sixth. Tbs existing administration is the representative of conspiracy only, and its claim of right to surround the ballot-boxes with troops and depnty marshals to intimidate and obstruot tbe electors, and tbe unprecedented use of tbe veto to maintain its corrupt and despotio poer, insults the people and imperils tbeir institutions. Seventh. Tbe great fraud of 1876 77 by which, npon a false count of the electoral votes of two States, the candidate defeated at tbe polls was de clared to be President, and for tbe first time in American history the will of tbe people was set aside under a threat of military violenoe struck a deadly blow at our system of representative government. Tbe Demooratio party, to preserve tbe country from tbe horrors of a civil war, submitted for tbe time, ' to firm snd patriotic faitb tbat tbe peo ple wonld punish this crime in lSSU. This issue precedes aod dwarfs every other. It imposes a more eacred dot? npon the people of the Union than ever addressed the conscience of a nation of freemen. Eighth. We execrate the course of this administration in making places in tbe civil service a reward for political erime, and demand a reform by statute which shall make it forever impossible for tbe tbe defeated candidate to bribe bis way to tbe seat of a usurper by bil leting villains npon tbe people. Ninth. Tbe resolution of Samuel J Tilden not again to be a candidate for the exalted plaoe to wbiob he was elect ed by a majority of bis nountrymen, and from which be was excluded by tbe Republican party, is received oy tbe Democrats of tbe United States with sensibility, and tbey declare their con fidence in bis wisdom, patriotism and integrity, unshaken by tbe assaults of a common enemy, and tbey further as sure him that be is followed into tbe retirement he has chosen for himself by tbe sympathy and respect of bis fel low citizens, who regard bim as one ! who, by elevating the standard of pnb- lio morality and adorning and purifying the mih m aerviee. merits ine lasuuit gratitude of his country and his party. Tenth, rree snips ana a uvuig flh.nn far American commerce on the seas and on tbe land.' No discrimina tion in favor of transpriUon lines, corporations or monopol.es. Eleventh, lne amendment oi we Knriinirama treaty. No more Chinese immigration, except for .ravel, educa tion and foreign commerce, and therein carefully guarded. Twelfth. Public money and publio credit for publio purposes solely, aod publio land for actual settlers. Thirteenth. Tbe Deuiocratio psrty Is the friend of labor aod tbe laboring mm. and pledges itself to protect bim alike against tbe cormorants and the commune. Folrteenth. We eoturratdate the country npon the honesty and thrift of a Democratic Congress, which has re duced the public expenditure $10,000r 000 a year ; npon tbe continuation ef prosperity at borne and tbe national honor abroad, and, a Dove an, npon toe nromise of sneh a chance in tbs admin istration of the government as shall in sure ns genuine ana lasting reiorm iu every depsrtment of the publio service. JrsT when the Democracy had started in quite vigorously through their writers against uarneio, on me point that he is not sound on the doctrine of the TRINITY, the Dem ocratic National Convention at Cin cinnati opened their proceedings by prayer by a Unitarian preacher. Af ter that, let the country hear no more from the Democracy on the question of the TRINITY, The Harrisburg Telegraph has this to say about the Riot Bribery cases : "Any doubt as to whether the re maining Riot Bribery cases will be tried was 6et at rest by the discovery that the costs had all been paid in the indictments against J. K. Shoe maker, Alex. McCune, D. C Clarke, George F. Smith and A. W. Leisen ring, thus implying that they had been abandoned The costs were paid on May 27. In the case of Christian Long the bill has not yet been settled, nor has it been in Jesse Crawford's perjury case. The per jury charges against W. H. Kemble and Charles B. Salter have also been abandoned." The Mexican cattle raiding ques tion is stated by an exchange as fol lows i The Mexican government has refused to grant the request of the United States Government to permit Gatch to pursue Victoria's band into Mexico, whither they have taken refuge after their atrocities npon United States territory. Nothing remains now but to hold Mexico re sponsible should they recross the frontier and commit and depreda tions. How to Destroy Army Worms. In ease tbe worms appear in cultiva ted lands the best plan of action to fol low is to prevent the spreading of the insect. This may be done by destroy ing them of by eonfiuiog them to tbe fields in which they appear. Tbs best methods of destroying them is by crash ing them with rollers, or by poisoning with arsenic, Paris Green or London purple. Either of these substances can be applied by mixing with water and using a fountain or garden syringe. In many instances, however, these rem edies are impracticable. Tbe second line of defense remains, and if well carried out tbe result will not merely be tbe conSoing of tbs worms to tbe fields in which tbey appear, but tbe de struction of tbem also wben tbey at tempt to migrate to other fields. Tbis is done by means of ditches snd pits dog atonnd tbe infested field or that to be protected. Ibe ditches can be made quite rapidly. Fiist plow a furrow with a "land side ' next to tbe neid to be protected, and then with a spade make this side of the furrow verticle, or, if the soil be compact enough to admit of it, overhanging. Wben tbe ditch is completed, boles should be dug in it from one foot to eighteen inches deep and from twenty to thirty feet apart. The sides of these boles thould also be vertical, or if possible over hanging The worms, unable to climb up tbe vertical side of tbe ditch, will crawl along tbe bottom of it and fall into the boles, where they will soon perish.
