THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM, The Democracy of Pennsylvania in Convention met, recogniiing a crisis in the affairs of the Re jiuhhc, and esteeming the immediate restoration of the Union paramount to all other issues, do re solve : 1. That the States, whereof the people were lstt 1t in rebellion, are cntegral parts of the I'nion, and are entitled to representation in Congress by men duly elected who bear true faith to the Constitution and Laws, and in oder to vindicate the maxim that taxation without representation is tyranny, such representatives should be forthwith admitted. 2. That the faith of the ReDublic is pledged to the payment of the National debt, and Congress should yass UR laws necessary tor that purpose. 3. That we o* e obedience to the Constitution of the United states (including the amendment prohib iting slavery,\ and under its provisions will accord to those emancipated all their rights of person and property. 4. That each State has the exclusive right t regulate the qualifications of its own electors. 5. That the white race alone is entitled to the con trol of the Government of the Republic, and we are uu* tiling to grant to negroes the right te vote g. That the bold enunciation of the principles of the Constitution and the policy of restoration con tained in the recent annual message nnd freedinen's bureau veto message of President Johnson entitle him to the confidence and support of all who respect the Constitution and love their country. ?• TLat the nation owes to the brave men of vur aru.ies and navy a debt of lasting gratitude for their heroic service, in defence of the Constitution and the iiaiMi-and that while we cherish with tender affection the memories of the fallen, we pledge fo their widows and orphans the natiorfs care and protection. 3. That we urge upon Congress the duty of equal iiin.* the bounties of our sildiers and sailors. The Fanatics and the Flag. The C'jlumbian , a new Andrew John son Republican paper, recently established at Blooinsburg, in speaking of the return to the State authorities of the flags presented to the Pennsylvania regiments during the war says: Op the Fourth of July next the soldiers of Pennsylvania are to return to the State authorities tliu Hags which they bore in the late war. Their tattered condition villi piaiulv tell their story, and it will be a weicome t-ight to many a battled-scarred veteran to sec the emblem of his devotion. It will not be without significance cither, for white it will tell him that thirty six Stales are in the UoioD, his reading of the proceeding* of Congress confronts him with ilii. Fact that .the members of that body still refuse to recognize the accomplishment ot the work for which lie toiled and won, at.ii that ahhoagh he is discharged, that peace to which he looked forward with -itch hopefulness is something far in the future in their eyes. He sees on that flag of equal lustre, and the full num ber .cfjb late s in the Union represented.— Yet he is told by Congress that but twenty liv States are members of the Uuion. — What a contradiction." We remember when these fanatics and <liiunk>hits would not allow even twenty five stars on the flags; but paraded our sireets with their sixteen starred flags. Ev erybody Greek's ode to the " flaunting lie." On the whole, we think matters are improving, and if the soldiers who fought for the whole flag, and for the whole Union, will only vote as they fought, we shall soon Lave men in Congress who w ill see that they have loth —that their sac rifices were not in vain. \KW FIVE CENT COIN. —The following i- a description ofthe new five cent coin, the device of which has been approved by Secretary McC'ullocli: < ibverae —The Union shield reding on tied arrows, denoting peace ; a wreath of laurel crowns the shield, ani above, in cir enlar form, is the motto, •' In God We Trust." Revcrse--a figure "5," in the centre, surrounded by thirteen stars in r.ivs : " United States of America" sur rounding the stars above and the word ' cent**" below. Fifty of these coins laid iu a straight line make the " metre" or ■ujsit of the French measure, each peace measuring eight tenths of an inch in diam eter, and three pieces weighing exactly oia ■ half an ounce. "TIIEM" ARMS.-—"We," [the soldiers of the Pitstburg Geary Convention] "be ing determined to jxjrpetuate the great principles established by oar arms," Ate. In view of the above, many excusably ignorant citizens of Pennsylvania are pinuipted to inquire what "great princi ples were established by the "arms" of and Brigadier Generals Owens. Colli*, Barnes, Brisbin, Fisher, Parsons, White, 01 ipliant, and Ross. What sec tion of the rebellion fell before the con quering "arm" of these, nine high-titled politicians ? Let the people know some thing about "them arms"—especially those of Joseph Oweus and the oratorical Collis. — tf-vr It is a singular fact that nearly all ihr Nii-wr England societies for controlling variety, bending mind and shaping matter, are working in foreign fields. The moral itml physical condition of several elasses of people: in that section is therefore entirely overlooked by this "poke-your nose-in-ev ery-persons-business-bui your-own tenden cy oi these philanthropists and reformers."

The enchanced price of tbtfacessafWTlP life, growing out of the paper cutrency —the financial shiuplaster; curse upon him and his—he has to stagger l under. lie has no surplus no#} but he hopes on and hopes ever. He sees the little twne, and the school-house, and the church, and his weekly news journal, and a decent wardrobe, and three good meals a day for him and his—a beautiful dream, away off in th • distant future. For the I present, all is dark and gloomy, and if it i were not for hope his hea't would sunk with ; in him. He struggles on in poverty and self- ; denial ; gbis children are ragged and igno rant ; he works and earns his ten or twelve j dollars per week, but the landlord and the j butcher, the baker and the coal dealer take all his money—for are they not taxed, doubly taxed, trebly taxed, and lie has to foot the bill. He realizes that be,as a con sumer, must suffer through these taxes ; that the people must bleed at every pore, but for what? Let the complaining tax payer, who cannot educate his children and j teed and clothe them as formerly, read and judge for himself. The Negro Bureau wants, according to the bill reported by Mr. Stephens, sll,- 087,5i0, for Negro necessities down South, the coming fiscal year. What a sum ! almost eijual to the entire cost of support ing the Government of the United States thirty years ago ! Negro commissioners, £47,500; negro clerks, 5i2,800; negro printing and paper, $6.1,000 ; negro fuel, $15,000; negro wardrobe, $1,750,000; negro food, $4,106,250 ; negro doctoring, $500,000 ; negro railroad riding $1,980,- 000; negro school marine, $21,00; negro school houses, $300,000; negro telegraph ing, SIB,OOO, etc., etc. Working white men of the North, your families are made by the prtsent party in power white slaves.

S nee tire formation of the Government up to the present hour, the work of Demo crats has always been to repair the politic al and social damage the old Federal or Tory factionists, whenever they got into power, have uniformly perpetrated. Dem ocratic administrations haVc always righted the abuses which the innate corruptions of their political enemies, when by accident or chicanery they obtained the reins of Gov ernment, always committed. The great re form, we trnst, will commence with the present year; but the job in the Augean Stables in former times was child's play to the work now on hand. While the blun ders, financial, moral and. political, disgrace the whole country and aie bringing ruin in their train, the true reformers should not be disheartened, but should pnt their shoul-' ders manfully ro the work, and again, H3 in times past and gone, endeavor to get the old Ship of State once more on the right track with a Democratic pilot at the helm, and a Democratic crew on board. •IBWEI.RY OF A PRINCESS IS THE INTE RIOR OF AFRICA —Dr. Livingstone, in his recently published account of his voyage L'p the great river of Eastern Africa, says the sister of one of the chiefs wore eighteen solid brass rings, as thick as one's finger on each leg, and three of copper under each knee ; nineteen brass rings on her left arm, and eight of brass and copper on her right; also a large ivory ring above each elbow. ' or seventy rings in ail. She had pretty head necklace, and a bead sash encircled her waist, The w eight of the brass rings a , round her legs impeded her walking and chafed her ankles, but a* it was the fashion she did not mind the inconvenience, and guarded against the pain by putting soft rags around the lower rings. So much lor fashion. GsT T lie Geary convention says it "is able to express its sentiments upon the whole matter of issue* and candidates in four words—God grant Geary victory."' This is a very meagre epitome of issues and a rather antagonistic arrangement of candi dates. God never granted Geary a victo ry as a general in the Union cause, and. as Deacon Bigolow says, he would be "a very great scoundrel" to grant him a victo ry as a Disunion politician. God and Geary ain't running on the same ticket. The Democratic State Central Com mittee have ri solved to call a Mass Con vention of the friends of Johnson and Cly mer in the Eastern and Middle counties of Pennsylvania, to he held in the citv of Reading, on Wednesday, the 18th of July next. It is the design of the Committee to J open Slate campaign in Old Berks, the 1 citadel of Democracy, and the home of Heister Clyraer, our distinguished candi date for Governor, by a monster demon-, stration, which will give a forward impetus to the cause of the Union and Constitutional Liberty throughout the State. When Andrew Johnson first became President, the disiinjonisls declared lliat ! I Providence, for some wise and good pur i pose had called him to the Executive chair. ! Since, however, hUcourse ha not turned ! out to be in consonance with their plunder- j ' ingand bloodthirsty anticipations. Andrew j Johnson is only the President by accident. Letter from "Cllafe" j NEWARK, N. J., June 15, 1866. < DEAR SIR Under the influence qf recent fit of iodnsti?, end presuming Ufat c an occasional ** Screed" from the , of Newark; away down in the 44 far " sics" will not be entirely devoid of interest 1 |'to at least a portion of the readers of the 1 | | sunie ,roj former. rotation as ap ©ccastanfd correspondent. | The people hereabouts, especially the ; proportion of them engagcdin the i business of manufacturing hardware, leath t er,"machinery, carriage's, <tc., complain i most wofuliy of the remarkable dullness of j trade. JVior to the war, Newark manu factured largely for the Southern market, : and upon the collapse of the rebellion much effort was made to resume this relation ; j but. either the South is too poor to buy ; more than the commonest necessities, or ; the unsatisfactory relation it bears to the j Grove:nment affoids the people there little J encomagement to invest in Northern nian ! ufacturcd articles. lie this as it may, our I about to be re-constructed fellow-citizens jof the South are not answering the ex- , i pectations forn ed of them, and well filled shelves and empty work benches is the order in our warehouses and workshops, while the streets are filled with idlers.— Then there is a perceptible diminishing of our " resources" —We don't hold quite so much money now as we held when "this cruel war" was raging —we are not so flush as we were —we don'tslingour piles around so loosely as we did when everybody had a contract with some Government agent for the suppression of the rebellion. New York merchants likewise complain of dull times; and the same causes doubtless, hare aided this result. But there is still another cause, and that is the cry of 4 'cholera, cholera," when there is rio cholera. The dailies must have a sensa tion of and in the absence of anything better, now that the great Fenian war is ended, they freeze to the choleta Day af?er day they are filled with reports of "cases" which have no existence save in the disordcre I imagination of their own hard cases. This newspaper epidemic is ! not without its effect npon the cousins from the country, with whom New Yorkers us ually have much dealing—so the rural rel atives, who arc accustomed to make peri odical visits to the metropolis for business and pleasure, get t-cared,panic-stricken and remain among their own hills and valleys,! and thus the city loses by their absence. The only epidemic we have among us, and which is now raging among the fair sex, is that which has taken the form of collar-ff. Every other lady you meet wears a collar, the peaks of which peak out in a most peculiar manner. In fact. to speak, this is a />w£jtdillo of the ladies that I arn at a loss to account for. But what's around ? Have the storekeepers been imposing their wares on the unwary ? It is said that the coliars now in vogue, (and from which I invoke the Gods to de liver us,) are called the Shakespeare ; but thi# is probably another outrage upon the immortal bard, who is now de-barred from owning them. This female disease, how ever, can only injure devoted husbands and indulgent papas in their currency-holders. It is a harmless epidemic, which comes home to the bosom of every well regulated family. The dailies may enlarge upon that to thei- hearts content, and the city will prosper under it. Although the population of Newark is essentially a working One, vve are not with out our amusements—theatre, concerts, exeursions,&e„ and one can usually have a choice. Last night, bv way of variety, we had a splendid fire within a block'Or two of OUT foddering house! and Dick audi (you know Dick) watched "our brave fire men," for an hour or more flitting around among the flames, like so many salaman- ; ders. The building, a large oil cloth and ' , Japaned leather manufactory, was, howev- I er, entirely destroyed. Dick enjoyed the j sight hugely, and thought the show quite as good as a circus, or a nigger minstrel! peiformancc. Speaking of nigger minstrels, in my ! walks al>out town I sometimes drop in at a " nigger meeting," which is a decided im- j provemcnt on the minstrel entertainments.' I visited a " class" a few evenings since, whereat a number of the "most eminent" i divines had assembled, the occasion being : an extra effort in the cause of tlie " Freed- j I men's bureau." The black Demosthenes of the evening was a " while wash man," I ; and Andy Johnson seemed to be his great I object of attack. Said le: "Who is Andy i Johnson, I'd like to know? Whardid he I come from? He didn't know nuffin, 'till his sister tont him. didn't she? Couldn't' spell his own name at de werrv time you niggas was agoin trou Horace Greely's History of de "War.

OHIO. —The recent removal and appoint s ment of federal officers in Ohio has cioated ! a great sensation among the Radicals in | that State. The Cincinnati Gazette says i that " the sudden vigor with which the ex ! ecutive axe has been wielded has been a ' surprise to the people." The President has been paying particular attention to the Radical disunion office holders of the 4shin j plaster Chase' stripe for the last two weeks and the Racicala in ail parts of Ohio are fearfully excited. It is said large numbers of them are becoming conservative. The i general repentance includes a recognition ot'ihe Southern States to representation ; and some of the lately prominent Radicals declared that the Frcedrnen's Bureau is an expensive institution for tax-payers. Col. Edward Parrott,Speaker of the Ohio House of representatives, announces himself a candidate for Congress against General Schenck. -. . *• * - *. Hundreds of persons in Walkill Valley, Orange county, New York, have for some time been suffering with all the symptoms of lead poisoning.

With this proposed bail the coun- j I set for Davis applied to.

I hold iliat they have this right whenever they 1 think the pontingercy has rome. *3 * You cannot torcibly bold men in ! the Union, for the attempt to do so, it. seems 1 to me. would subvert the first principles of j the government under which.we live.

The greatest heighth reached was • about 2,ft-0 feet. Defects were discover ed m the construction of the machine; the car b--ing too short and the rudder too light. |lt was therefore found impossible to run against the wind, but the inventor claims that the difficulties can be remedied, and 1 is still confident of success. Mr. Andrew's machine is different in i several important particulars from the or j dinary balloon. It is composed of two j long lemon shaped gas receivers, floating horizontally, and surrounded by a strong nptting, which supports the car below. The car used in this experimental voyage was eight feet long and two feet wide; the in ventor claims that the alteration of the weight from the rear to the front of this car, or the reverse, will give the balloon the inclination required to move it against the wind. He failed in this effort, for the reason as he avers that the car was too short.— X. V. Post. THE NOTES OF STATE BANKS, —A wrong impression prevails to a considerable ex tent in relation to the circulation of the notes of State Banks after the Ist of July. An Act of Congress imposes a tax of 10 per cent. all such notes paid out at the counter after that date, but there is no discount on them, and between indi viduals they are as good as even. The ef fect of the prevailing impression will be to force these issues suddenly out of circula lation. thus reducing the volume of curren cy afloat to the extent of millions to the injury of business men, merchants,- banks and individuals, whereas by withdrawing their notes and replacing them by Nation al Bank Notes, B< evil wha ever would be . experienced. We shall continue to take, the notes of State Bank* after the Ist of ; July, as usual, without any discount, but, would advise people not to pay them the bank, if they can avoid it, by exchange. or otherwise, and they will thereby ka.-p, in circulation. Banks take them as.usual but when they have them, are prohibited} bv a heavy tax from paying them out. • That is all The notes are just as good as. ever. .
