THEJ DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The Democracy of Pennsylvania in Convention
met, recognizing a crisis in the affairs of the Re
public, and esteeming the immediate restoration of
the Union paramount to all other issues, do ro
•olve :
1. That the States, whereof the people were late
ly in rebellion, are integral parts of the Union, and
■re entitled to representation in Congress by men
duly elected who bear true faith to the Constitution
end Laws, and in oder to vindicate the maxim that
taxation without representation is tyranny, such
representatives should be forthwith admitted.
•J. That the faith of the ReDublic is pledgtd to
the payment of the National debt, and Congress
should pass all laws necessary tor that purpose.
A. That we owe obedience to the Constitution of
the United States (including the amendment prohib
iting slavery,) and under its provisions will aceord
to those emancipated all their rights of person and
property.
4 That each State has the exclusive right to
regulate the qualifications of its own electors.
5. That the white race alone is entitled to the con
ti '. of the Government of the Republic, and we are
uv.vril ling to grant to negroes the right t vote.
g. That Ihe bold enunciation of the principles of
the Constitution and the policy of restoration con
> ained in the recent annual message and freedmen's
bureau veto message ot President Johnson entitle
hiin to the confidence and support of ail who respect
the Constitution and love their country.
7" That the nation owes to the brave men of aur j
armies aud'navy a delt of lasting gratitude for
their heroic service, in defence of the Constit u tion i
and the t'moD ; and that while we cherish with i
tender afi'cction the memories of the fallen, we j
pledge to their widows and orphans the nation's j
ire and protection.
8. That we urge upon Congress the duty of equal- t
ising the bounties of our stldiers and sailors.
Gold is quoted in the yesterday's *
papers, at $1,37. The rise is attributed to
financial difficulties in Europe.
The news from Mexico brings us
accounts of the massacre of upwards of j
500-inhabitants of Hermasiilo, by the Lib .
erals. Thirteen American residents of thatj
town were also murdered. The popular
indignation is so great, that the citizens of
Sonora, without respect to party, have risen
en masse to put a stop to and revenge these
atrocities.
SAVED IN SPITE OF RADICALISM. —Re-
ferring to the fact, that the Committee on
Ways and Means have reported in favor !
of reducing taxation So.uol>,UoU, the

If the Freedmen's Bureabill had passed,
the Government w<>uld have needed the j

Con;reM Cringing to the Cash Applied by

"George T Downin, Piesidt nt of the ;
colored delegation at Washington, has ad
dressed a card to their friends in Congress
against the report of the Committee on Re
construction, passed by the House on the
P>th inst., ami which will be considered
next week in the Senate, in which he says
ttiis report falls heavily on the hopes of the
colored man, and disappoints the expecia- t
tion of the times, and is altogether far short j
of what the best interests ot our country j
demands, Amongst other things it is re- j
marked there is scarcely a member of the j
bouse who voted in favor ol the*proportion, J
but who believed that uot only according
to but in accordance with the spirit
of the Constitution and the principle on
which the government is based, the right
of every citizen, without regard to complex
ion, to have a voice, or representation,w ith
every other citizen, is unquestionable, and
there is nothing in the Constitution which
forbids Congress securing this right unto
evwry citizen.
When during the history of this
has Congress opened its doors for the inter
lcrei.ee or presumption of a white man, to
have his "card" corsidcred as of para- i
mount consequence ? Yet here we have
the fact faring Christendom, that the COD
i
GR "F,S of the United States w ilts under the I
X-buke of negroes for Dot doing as their
ruperior wisdom indicates.
A PLTTTDICTION THAT WILL BE VERIFIED.
THAD. SIF.VENS has told the truth for once >
in a recent speech ou the Reconstruction
imindnccnt, arguing in favor of its speedy
adoption, be says :
•'Before another Congress shall have as
sembled here, and before this can be carried
into full effect, there will be no friends of the
Union party (disunion be meant— ED )left
tp this side of the House to carry it out"
God grant that this prediction of the old
/sinner may be verified. We have no doubt!
but it will. If the American people are to
Aovern themselves —if this government :
was made for white me# and is to be con- 1
trolled by them—if the laboring classes are
not to be enslaved, and degraded to a leve
with the negro— if we are to have a Repub
ifcc and l'ennsylvanuns are to remain P.enn- j
-•Mrtvsnians—then the halls of Congress :
' mitst be cleared of that of
niggerdoir,and scion of monarchy—the dis
union party. That STEVENS' prediction
may come true, is the prayer of every pa
triot.
I Vet aof the Colorado Bill by the Presi
dent.
lo the Senate 0/the Uni'ed States:
I return to the Senate, in which House
it origin at 1 if, the hill which has parsed
both Houses of Congress, entit ed,
"An act f<>r the admission of the State of
Colorado into the Union," with my objec
tions to its becoming a law at this lime.
First, From the best inf irmation which I
have been able to obtain, I do not consider
! the establishment of a State government
at present necessary for the welfare of the
people of Colorado. Under the existing
j territorial government all tlie rights, priv
: ileges and interests of the citiz< ns are pro
tected and secured. The qualified voters
choose their own legislatures and their
own local ifficers, and are represented in
; Congress by a delegate of their own se-
I lection.
They make and execute their own mu
nicipal laws, subject only to revision by
Congress, an authority not likely to be
exercised un ess in extreme or extraordi
nary cases. The population is small,
souie estimating it so low as twenty-five
thousand, while the advocates of the bill
reckon the number at from thirty—five
thousand to forty thousand. The people
are principally recent settlers, many of
whom are understood to be ready for re
moval to other ftiining districts, beyond
the limits of the teiritory, it cireunistan
ces shall render them more inviting.
©
Such a population cannot but find relief
from exc-. ssive taxation if the territorial
system, which devolves the expenses of;
the executive, legislative and judicial .le
nartments uj>on the United States, is for
the present continued. They cannot but;
find the security of person aud pioperty
increased by their reliance upon the na
tional executive power for the mainte
nance of law an * order against -the dis
turbance necessarily incident to all newly
organized coinmnnitie*.
Second. It is not satisfactorily estab
lished that a majoiity of the citizens of!
Colorado desire or are prepared for an ex- J
change of a territorial for a State govern- j
ment. In September, 1854, under the an j
thority of Congress, an election was law—'
fully appointed and held for the purpose)
of ascertaining the views uf the people. I
Upon this particular question 6,1921
votes were cast, ainl of this number a ma
jority of 3,152 was given ajainst the pro
posed change. Ju September, 1865, with
out any legal authority, the quest oil was)
again presented to the people of the tcrri-!
Tory, wiih the view of obtaining a rccon- !
sideration of the result of the election held i
in compliance with the act of Congress
approved March 2lst, 1864. At this
election, 5,905 votes wt-ro polled, and a
small majority of 155 was given in favor
of a State organization It does not seem
to tne entirely safe to receive this last
mention d icsult, so irregularly obtained
to out -w; igh the one which had been le
gally obtained in the first election. Reg
ularity and conformity to law arc essential
[ to the preservation of order and stable gov
; ernment, and should, as far as practicable.
: always be observed in the formation of
: new stales.
Third. The admission of Colorado at
this time as a State into the Union, ap
pears to me to l-e incompatible with the i
public interests of the country. While it
is des ruble that territories when suffioient
| ly n attired should he organized as States, (
yet tli • spirit of the Coustitution seems to
require hat there should bean appr<>xima
tion towards equality among the several
states comprising the Union. No State
can ha*e less or more than two Senators
iin Congress. The largest State has a pop
■ tilai'<n of four millions. Several other
States have a population exceeding two
million*, and many others have a popula
tion exceeding one million. If thi* should
become a law tlie people of Colorado,
thirty thousand in nam er, would have in
the House of Representatives one member
while New York, with a population of four
1 millions, has but thirty-one. Colorado
j would have in the Electoral College three
! votes, while N*w York has only thirty—
| three. Colorado would have in the Sen
! ate two votes, while New York has no
I more. Inequalities of this character have
! already occuired but it is believed none
have happened where the inequality was
so great.
When such inequality has been allowed,
Congress is supposed to have committed
it on the ground of some high public nec
essity and under ciicumstances which
promised thai it would rapidly disappear
through the growth and developemeut of
the newly-admitted State. Thus, in re
gard to the several State* in what was for
merly called the "northwest territory,"
lying east of the Mississippi,their rapid ad
vance in population rendered it certain
j that States admitted with only one or two
representatives in Congress would, in a
short period, be entitled to a a great in
crease of representation. So, when Cali
i fornia was admitted on the ground of com
mercial and political exigencies, it was
well foreseen that that State was destined
rapidly to become a great, prosperous end
important mining and commercial com
munity.
In the case of Colorado I am not aware
that any national exigency, either of a po
litical or commercial nature, requires a de
parture from the law of equality which has
been so generally adhered to in our his
tory.
It information submitted in connection
with this bill is reliable, Colorado, instead
of increasing, ha* declined in population.—
At ati election for members of a territorial
legislature, held in 1861, ten thousand five
hundred \otes were cast. At the election
before mentioned, in 1864, the number of
votes cast was sir thousand one hundred
and nin'ty-two votes, while at the regular
election held in 165. which is assumed for
a basis of legislative action at this time,
the aggregate number of the votes wa9
five thou-*aijd nine hundred and five.
Sincerely anxious for the welfare and
prosperity of every Territory and State, as
well as for the prosperity and welfare of
the whole Union, I regret this apparent
decline of population in Colorado—but it is
manifest that it is due to emigration which
is going on from that territory into other
regions within the United States, which
either are in fact, or are believed by the
inhabitants of Colorado, to be ticher in
mineral wealth and agiicultural resources.
If, however, Colorado has not really defin
ed :n population, another census or anoth
er election under the authority of Congress
would place the question bwyond doubt
and cause but little delay in the ultimate
admission of the territory as a state, if de
sired by the people. The tenor of the ob
jection furnishes the reply which may be
expected to an argument in favor of the
measure derived from the enabling act.
which was passed by Congress on the 21st
day of March, 1864. Although Congress
then supposed that the condition of the
territory was such a to warrant its admis
sion as a state, the result of two years ex
perience shows that every reason which
existed for the institution of at rritorial
instead of a State Government in Colarado
at its first organization still continues in
force. The condition of the Union at. the
present moment is ca!cul,t d to inspire
caution in regard to the admission of new
States. Eleven of the old States have
been for some time, and stili remain, un
represented in Congress. It is a common
interest of all the States, as well of tho.-e
unrepresented, that the integrity and har
mony of the Union should be restored as
completely as possible, so that all those
who are expected to bear the burdens of
the federal government shall bo consulted
concerning the. admission of new states,
and that in the meantime no new state
shall be prematurely and unnecessarily ad
mits dto a participation in the political
power W'l ch the federal government wields
not tor tbe benefit of any individual states
or section, but for the common safety, wel
fare and happiness of the whole country
ANDREW JOHNSON.
WASHINGTON, L). C., May 15, 1860.
A Presuming Negro
Aaron Bradley, the darkey lawyer of
Boston, who has been lionized by certain
parties for some time past, instil uted a
suit yesterday, at Baltimore, claiming
damages from the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company for refusing to comply
with the terms of a contract by which he
paid $1.50 to be transported from Wash
ington to Baltimore. The plaintiff alleges
that he was ejected from a car,in contempt
of a law of the I nited States, on account
of bis color, l ace, &e., and brings a civil ,
suit to recover the amount of his fare, and j
damages laid at one hundred dollars, J. i
11. B, Latrope appeared for the defendant i
He stated that under the laws of the State
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Companv
derived authority to make rules and regu
lations for the government of travel. Thev
had absolute authority to refuse while men
"the privilege of entering cars occupied by
ladies, &c He bad never beard that
white men ever questioned th- ; pmprietv
of their rules, which were adopted for the
sole purpose of contributing to the general
pleasure of tiavellers on that great h gli
way to the West. Justice Hay ward, after
listening to the argument in the case, en
tered a judgment of not pros., which is sup
posed to mean that there was no cause of
action. The great trouble with these ne
groes is, that they endeavor to force them
selves where white men are not allowed to
go. They have no mote idea of equal
rights than so many babboous, and, in con
sequence cause gr--at trouble bv their im
pudence and presumption, knowing, as tin y
d', that whatever outrage they commit, no
matter how" stunning, they will be backed
up by a ho-t of howling dervishes of the
Radical school.
It appears that this nigger Bradley has
stopped in Baltimore for the purpose of
creating a" 4 muss," as !■<■, noi being con
tent with the above decision, lias brought
suit before the United States Circuit Court
Judge Giles, claiming to be a citizen of tin-
United States, asking for an injunction to
restrain the City Passenger Railway Com
panv from passing through Lexington
street ( Baltimore) by the Douglas institute
for tailing to comply with the terms of
their charter, &e. Jtl lg-- Giles, after lis
tening very patiently to all the petitioner
had to sav, stated that the United States
Court had no jurisdiction in the premises,
and that the proper tribunal in cases of as
sault was the Criminal Couit of Baltimore.
Upon which the colored Boston lawyer
retired, very wrathy at the failure of his
projects. This negro will go a little too
far, and will be brought up with ajerk be

The Thrones ®f European Money Kings
Shaking.
The steamer Cuba brings most impoi"
taut financial news from Europe. It seems
that on the 10th instant, a culmination in
the panic was reached by the heavy failure
of Messrs. Overend# Gurr.ey & Co., with
liabilities at from ten to twelve million
pounds sterling, brought about by heavy
speculative sales of shares. They made
application to the Bank of England for aid
which was refused on the ground that they
could not help one Bank and not another.
On the following morning the 11th, the
pi iee of discount to ten per cent, and the
pressuie of these terms were enormous; —
in the meantime and almost hourly the
most serious disasters were announced. The
English Joint Stock Company failed for
808,000 pounds sterling, then followed that
ofUetodc Betts (Sir Morton Peto) for
four millions sterling, only to he succeeded
by that of W. Sliriinpton, a railway con
tractor, for 200,000 pounds sterling, and
the Liverpool Mercantile Credit Associa
tion and the Consolidated Discount Com
pany, with extremely heavy commitments,
passed into liquidation. Later in the eve
ning of the lltli the Government suspend
ed the Bank Charter Act.
It is said to be known that several heavy
dealers will announce their failures in con
nection with the approaching half monthly
settleim nt. In the Liverpool Cotton Mar
ket the panic was fearful at the commence
ment on Friday. At Manchester it was
complete, and in Glasgow the iron brokers
resolved to suspend business until Monday.
The losses in the produce Market wdl
reach, since the beginning of the year, on
account of the depreciation in English funds
railroad securities, &c. One hundred and
three millions of pounds sterling, to say
nothing of the losses on cotton goods, iron
&co.
On Fiidav, in London, the doors of the
most respectable banking houses were be
seiged bv legulat mobs, and the throngs
heaving and tumbling about Lombard
street rendered it almost impassable. No
such excitement has been wiiness-'d since
the great panic in England in 18-35. The
action of the Government in suspending
the Bank Charter was announced in the
House of Commons on Friday, at midnight
bv Mr. Gladstone, who h -.d been engaged
all the evening with bankers and others,
who represented the panic in London with
out parallel in the financial history of the
country.
We also learn by the same steamer that
tbe cholera continued to prevail on board
tbe Helvetia.
For a mom-'nt the question of war be
tween Austria. Prussia and Italv is over
shadowed by the financial panic, but still
there is not the slightest modification in
the threatening aspect of affairs. The
whol" Prussian army and great bodies of
troops are massed along the frontiers. —
Austria is panting for war, and mustering
everv available man into her service.
Florence papers regard the war as inev
itable. Orders are also said to have been
issued from Constantinople that the Turk
ish arnav shall be raied to its full strength.
A Vienna telegram of the 9th instant states
that the departure of the Austrian corps
fr service in Mexico was fixed for the
10th ; but on the 11th, in consequence of
th° protest of the American .minister, Mr.
Motlev, the East Rifle Volunteers, who
joined the corps, have.been sent home on
unlimited furlough, and in Liverpool it
was reported on the 13th that the Mexican
volunteers will enter the Austrian army.
If war breaks out on the continent a
large conversion of securities into gold
wi'l he the consequence. American 5-20*
are held in great numbers abroad, and they
have already been forced on the market
to cucli an extent as to cause a temporary
decline On account of this, gold rises here.
Of eourse the price of hreadstuffs are much
affi cted. Flour and wheat are lower in
Europe than at heme. Cargoes of Michi

is a'so coming. The wheat harvest will be
later than usual. Southern wheat will be
first in the market.— Ex.

The Tornado at Rochester.
ROCHESTER, N. Y., May 24, 1866.
The damage by the storm here yester
day afternoon was very great. The loss
may be estimated by tens of thousands of
dollars. Buildings were unroofed,windows
destroyed, young trees and plants cut down
by the hail, and gardens wholly ruined.—
The nurseries suffered much. The storm
covered an area of four miles, but the hail
was limited to two miles. Hail stones of
over an inch indiametercovered thegionnd
Uiev'cut the limbs from trees and killed
tiiousands of birds, which had taken refuge
in the foliage Several children were in
jured by the hail, 4nd a number of animals
were killed. The lightning struck the
stone chapel in Mount Hope Cemetery,
where many people had taken refuge, but
none were severely injured. The build
ings were somewhat damaged. St. Mary's
Hospital was partly unroofed. The glass
manufacturing establishment of the Roclie
ter Chemical Works was partly demolish
ed, involving a large loss of glass. The
storekeepers opened their stores on Sun
day evening to enable the citizens to get
materials to make their houses tenable for
the night.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION.—It has been
generally supposed that legal instruments
were not valid unless they had the prescrib
ed levenue stamps upon them. But Judge
Hoar, of the Supreme Court of Massaehu
setts, one of the most eminent jurists in
the country, has decided that this is not
the case. The New Bedford Mercury says:
"In a case before the Supreme Judicial
Court in Taunton, the question of the vali
dity of a deed, to which no revenue stamp
was affixed, was raised. Judge Hoar un
hesitatingly decided that the absence of
the stamp does not invalidate the deed.
He questioned whether Congress so in
tenued in framing the internal revenue
law, but was clear in the opinion that a
statute of the United States' undertakitg
to invalidate an instrument which by the
laws of the State is valid, would be uncon
stitutional. The government ma) exact a
penalty for failure to affix a stamp, but can
not make void the instrument for the lack
of the 6tamp."
BRICK. DUST FOR BORE HEADS
Here ia a shot from "Brick" Poraeroy's
locker—in fact a whole " broadside." It
takes " Brick" to excoriate Abolitionism :
44 This reminds of a little story ! Say,
you radical, nigger-loving, Anna Dickin

Republicans, how do you like Johnson ?
How do yon like going out of tbe Union
for a President ? You men who preach
that God is controlling events political as
well as eternal ? How do you like Ten
nessee statesmanship ? How does it com
pare with flatboat style ?
And God said let there be light, and
there was light! This is Bible.
44 And being in torment, they lifted up
their eyes and saw" not Abraham in the
bosom of Lazarus, but Andnw Johnson in

How do you like the President! Wod'nt
you choke gently on Booth's windpipe if
be were still alive ? How do you like this
going into the Democratic party for a horse

Blessed doctrine, thought divine,
But this President dodge is fine!
He who speaks against the President, is
a traitor ! Let the traitors be hung! Why
don't you get drunk, burn printing offices,

and get drunk as owls, as you did when

44 Way down South in the land of Dixie!'
Ain't that a pretty little song? How do

The Soldiers Moving—but not for Geary.
Two hundred and thirty-five honora
bly discharged soldiers signed a call for a
meeting to be held in the Court House at
York, to organize a "Johnson and Ciymer
Soldier's Club." The meeting took place
last Saturday evening, and a series of res
olutions were adopted, among which were
the following:
Resolved, That having fought for the
Union, and assisted in restoring the na
tional authority throughout the land, we
are unalterably opposed to the Radicals
of Congress who are attempting to do
what the rebels failed to do—subvert over
free institutions aud destroy the Union.
Resolved, That we will stand by Andrew
Johnson in his noble efforts to defeat the
bold, ban men who stand in the way of
the restoration of the Status to their full
constitutional rights, and that we believe
that his magnanimous policy is only to be
found a sure road to a restoration of a
Union of hearts, and a Union of states,
and peace and prosperity to the land.
Revolved, That w<> believe that the Hon
Heister Ciymer, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania, holds upon
all the great principles or public policy
views similar to our own, and is a firm
supporter of President Johnson, and that
i therefore we will support him with uur
voices and votes.
We learn from the Gazette that the
meeting was a great success, and that the
club formed at that time is increasing in
numbers and influence. The "boys in
blue," who fought for the Union, sustain
President Johnson, and cannot give their
votes to the mock "hero" of the Rumps— j
John W. Geary—who is joined with the
Radical disunioniats in their revolutionary
and reasonable attempts to overthrow the
Constitutions.

A Temperance lecture was delivered at tha
M E Church on FriJay night of last week. Tha
■ Lecture was a most admirable one—one of tbe best,
if no / ths best we ever listened to. The very slimv
atten lance on tbe octas on, surprised us and indie*-*
, ted that even the Templars and others who profeas
great interest in the cause, are growing apathetic.—
• Certainly a man of the speaker's well known cspaci
' ty to interst nd instruct an audionse, should net
have been subjected to tbe humiliation of talking. te
so maey empty pews. Regard for so estimable
and so talented a man, if not sympathy for the caoee
h>; advoc • tcs. fhould hare secured him, in this com
munity, a crowded bouse. Shame !
A Drunken Revelry was kept np for some
days aud nights last week, by several of the young
meu in town It being a sort of protracted "spree,"
and apparently a difficult one to break off, it ran
nearly or quite into the edge of the Sabbath of thm
week Certain it is, that, if the revellers did not
, indolge in a glass or two on that day, they indulged c
; quite lreely in glassy ayes
Now, while we eutertain tbe kindliest feelings
for these young men. and hope still to see many, if
( not ell of ihem, become sober and respectable citi
j ins —ornaments to society—we must declare k tbat
, their conduct for the pist few days has been intoler
| ably outrageoas, eul disgraceful. Disgraceful, nA
only to themselves but to tbe community in whieh
they live. Such exhibitions of recklessness, vulgar
: it y and_obscenity as can be seen and heard daily in
: our streets, and such hideous bowlings as rend the
air by night, show, not only a depraved and vicious
: mind, on the part of those who do these things, but
a lamentably loose aud ruinous suite of public sen
! tiui'nt in our community.
i These disgraceful seeues can be stopped and for
I the peace, security and good order of the town, they
t should be stopped.
