• When the Eouther.n Senators and Rep
resentatives withdrew from their seats in
Congress,. preparatory to their entering
into the great struggle to overthrow the
Government, in a speech delivered at
Albany, he had the temerity and men•
dacity to say that, "all virtue, patriotism
and- intelligence seems to have_ fled from
our National Capital," at the same time
banding the-inen who stood bi 7 the Gov
ernment as " imbeciles, madmen and
fanatics." This was his position when
the rebellion broke out ; :and during 7 the
continuance of the war to suppress it, he
endeavored by all means in his power to
discourage the friends of the union cause.
He exaggerated the evils of the war; he
depreciated the National credit; he de
nounced every man who sustained the
measures adopted to carry it - on to a suc
cessful. termination ; and - when the eriti
cal time came, after the defeat of HOOKER
at Chancellorsville, 'when the rebel-horde
was iiinding_our state, and the Govern
ment-in its great need of troops ordered
a draft for three hundred thousand-men,

New York Platform.
The Democratic Platform demands,
"immediate restoration e all the states
to their rights in the Union, under the
constitution, and of . civil Government to
the-American people." It also arraigns
theltepublioan party for keeping up end
continuing a military despotism, as it is
styled by them, over ten sovereign - States
To prove bow holloW mid false is any
such declaration on their part we need
only 'refer - tolieq - Tietion of their Repro--
sentatives _a_few_days_sineel in, the -Con
green of the United States. -A "Bill was
introduced, which proposed to restore
seven or - the rebellious states to all their
rights

- Bvery Democrat, in each house, bitterly
when
eopposed its_passage, and
when it4Fas enacted' in spite of their op
poSiiiiiii,they prevailed OrpcTn the . Demo
cratic President to veto it. , - But, thanks
to the good gene . and discretion of. the
American
,people, there were enough
loyal, - Union men in Congress to carry
the mesa - ate in the very teeth of the
wholeparty, and to-day -North Carolina,
South CarolitYa, Georgia, Alabama, Flor
ida, -Louisiana and Arkansas are restored
to the fellowship of States, not because.
the Democracy desired they should be,
but in spite of their trickery and opposi
tion., .
- In reference to the continuance of
military authority over these States the
same may be said. 'ln the reconstructed .
States, the department commanders are
already turning over their authority - lb
the - n‘mwly elected Governors
'and L©gis
latures.. As rapidily Is - this is done they
announce that their power has come to
amend. l ° - --IM the face et - fads like these
the Democracy should be silent upon the
subjects of reconstruction and military
rule, for they ire - doing their utmost to
prevent the former and continue the lat
The platform also demands, 4 a reduo
-tion of , the Army, and Navy, and the
abolition of the Freedmen's Bureau!'
These very ulasures are now hi ing
adopted by a Republican Congress, and,
11r:ilex:their 'prating upon the subject is
nothing but the merest gammon.
With the exception of the denuncia
tion. of the Congressional plan of aeon
qtrUction, and the adoption of repudia
don as a party dogma _ the whole platform
is the shee.est clap-trap to which any
party ever gave utterance.
Reconstruction ie an accomplish d fact
and as such they might as w 11 accept it.
No wish or decree of .theirs .will ever re•
verse it. Their denunciations of the
-policy fall leaden, upon the publie ear:
And us for the repudiation dogma, we
have no fears that the people will ever
for a moment think of endorsing it. Al
ready is the NRW York World endeavor
ing to explain it away. Other Demo
cratic journals will be glad to do- the
same before the campaign shall. have
closed: Two tnings however are Worthy
of note. First they acknowledge that
'Slavery and Secession are dead; and
even here they are given the lie by one

candidates, but Ijoesn't care for the plat

tiotninees, and especially Blair, •becatse
he has .declared that-he will assume mili
tary power, an3thatin thislies the hope of
the South!Th'e second thing to be ob
served is the absoence of any expression
about this being "a white man's

have given, up, this rallying-cry i How.

Their platform and their candidates 'will

What Seymour and Blair Wit Do-
SEYMOUR end • BLAIR are, to reiltre
and restore thii "lost cause." So said
high authority, the highest, - fadt,
among the National Democracy; an ex
rebel Governor, at ,a Democratic ratifica
tion meeting, last Saturday night, in
Richmond. It was a just and true thing
said in the most appropriate place. The
walls of Libby, vocal no longer with the
wail of starving prisoners, the embrazur
edWindows of Castle Thunder, tiolonger
haunted'with the skeleton faces-oe-tbli
loyal;iictirns of - rebel cruelty, the sandy
strand of Belle Island, no longer ringing
with the crack of the rebel rifle aimed-at
some poor Union soldier, already Dear per
ishing from despair, as he t -hovered near
thli dead-line; the halls of-the old Capitol
now no longer graced by rebel- oratory
and dignified' by-a rebel, President; the
streets and muares of Richmond made
historically, infamous in the annals 'of
treason against theliZlSt government on
earth, and of inhuman brutalities which
the laws of honorable wertaro denounce
as execrably vile—ghat was the spot for
the re inspired spirit of rebellion to uplift
its voice and 'glorify the advent of new
hopes . from the action of the National
Democracy SEYMOUR and BLAIR are
yet to redeem the lost cause—"all the'
Confederacy fought tbr"—so said Gov
VANcE, All the' shed blood of the loy.
al people, tire three hundred thousand
dead, the maimed still living, many of
whom often wish to die, those three
thousand millions of treasure spent, and
that assassinated Priisident. all these are
to go fur naught. SEYMOUR and BLAIR
are to give up all that the Union won,
in restoring to the Confederacy what it
lost Well, these things way have been
true enough.to say in Richmond, but
the time has hardly come yet to spy
them in Pennsylvania ,or Ohio, with
punity. What say you, Democratic
reader.—Pettatury Gazette.

these things Seyniour was chosen and

Look Out for Election Frauds
The Republican party, with an - lion
, "ea desire to prevent fraud and to se
' mire purity of suffrage, passed a registry
law at the last session of . the Legislature.
The Democraq, anxious to have all the
opppitunites possible' for fraudulent vot
ing, resisted the pm:sage...of. the Jaw, and,
failing there, have carried it lute the
Supreme• Court, where, on grounds that
seem little more than technicalities, it
has bean declared by the partisan major
ity of the Bench unconstitutional., If,
Gov. Geary does not call an extra session
of the Legislature, and have the law
amended in conformity with the opinion
of at least one of the Judges, we will be
left entirely at &he mercy - of these men
— Who huild their only hopes upon the very
fraud which this law aimed to prevent.
We must therefore exercise unwonted
vigilance ;.. We areforoWtirned and should
be forearmed. No lack .of vigilance on
our part will be es.ousable. This state
ae honest vote will give Grant and I
Colfax at least twenty-five thousand ma
jority. But Lo secure this desirable• re;
suit we must be vigilant and keep out
all the - fraudulent votes the Democracy I
may offer, and we are sure they will not
be a few.

truth in it. The sermon was not political,
and it made no allusion either to ("rant or
to Chase. . The application of, some of its
paragraphs in either direction, was the
work in the reporter or The World nut mine.
I have never been a Chase man. I have for

was pogessed of those gonercus and heroic
quillitics which. over endear mon of his.

Migrating to.Missourl he commenced the •
practice of law and' rapidly rose in the pro
fession._ Taking in at a glance the pond,'
cal situation in. the State of his, adoption,
all the promptings and instincts' of gen
erZus heart led to him to take side With the
lowly and oppressed, the mechanic and the
laborer against.tbe malignant rebel, and the
aristocratic representative of an effete and
now almost extinct slave oligarchy. 'Hav
ing been called to the editorial charge of
the Marshall County Banner, the Union
paper of his county, his vigorous and scath
ing attacks upon 'the bogus confederacy,
and its defunct' chivalry, soon gained him
the deadly 'hatred of every sneaking, cow
ardly rebel in his n ighborbood- Scorning
all their threats and taunts ho kept on in
the even tenor of his way, undaunted and
undismayed Until stricken down by the
bowie knife of tiro assassin. Though eore
dangerously_ wounded, we cannot -
but think that he must' recover and live

We propose to give-a fair, candid and im

About 6 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon,
Mr. V. Bilift.BOWSß,, editor. .of this paper,
was walking quietly along toward-the post
office. Just us he had passed through the
court-house yard ho was stopped by kr.

other, and declared his intention to-cowhide
Mr. B RBOWER.• To this proposition
BIERBOWER, who WilB unarmed_ end entirely
unprepared,- told BTRANT that he could-do
such-thtng. Thereupon BYRANT struek
BIER.I3O,WER with his whip and a general
fight followed. During the strnggle Mr.
BIERBOWYCR was severely and dangerously
stabbed in the breast and side. The odds _
can-be iinagined.by. those who - knowing the
tw,o. parties. BRYANT is a large pow- -

then walked coolly towards his

with him while BYRANT, bruised end-bleed

soon as Mr. BLEanewza bud reached'

they should-get rid of the "dumbed yahkee

hand and a revolver iti the otber, and then
cowhide atdi disgrace him, as be would not

idler's shop in town and ordered a case .for
hii knife, and at the same time nurchased a
cowhide. He.then declared that ho intend- •
ed to cowhide the' editor of the Banner, _
and that if lie resisted he• would kill him...
19011 the editor did resist,' and it is pretty
generally_conceded_that-Bryant• is -nearer—
dead -than Blerbower. The .""oply excuse
which Bryant offered for his conduct was
that he was unsitisfied'with a certain exprat.
nation which appeared in the Banner. - In
this his own actions contradict his excuse.
Just here wo may briefly state the case.
About•a month since the Cops Meta jollifi
cation over Johnson'eacquittal. At th
time Mr. Ilierbower was in St. Louis, and •
those in charge of the paper gave an ac-
Count of the jellifictitiOn and criticised the. _
speakers, though nolultuss-were mentioned.
On Mr. Bierbower's return _Bryant asked
hint Mho would correct a ,rile-statement in
that article in reference to himielf. To this
request Blt , rboirer wheltnew B:rytint's char
sister
and suspicioned his motives, wrote out
un explanation card, took it to Bryant who
expressed himself 'satisflecrwith It, and'then -
demandeT his signature to it. This he gavo
ued - the card is now in our Mace for public
inspectittn. Now that:the thing is over we
brand that correction es title; and withdraw .
our apillgy, (if any person could see one in
that cure), for. 'what was said • about tho
meeting,. Since . was published Bryant'
huti.uppeareti friendly toward Blerbowur, -
and luta spoken to him Several times, oo it
is apparent that Bryant's ex use is a more
pretext foemurrying out his' murderous de- .
sign., Here, wit-might-state-that nurnber
