OF BERKS.
~THK DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM,
The Democracy of Pennsylvania in Convention
met, recognizing a crisis in the atfairs of the Re
public, and esteeming the immediate restoration of
the Union paramount to all other issues, do re
solve :
1. That the States, whereof the people were late
ly in rebellion. are cntegral parts of the Union, 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 Republic is pledged to
the payment of the National debt, anil Congress
should pass all 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 to
regulate the qualificatory 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
unwilling 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 aDd freedmen's
bureau veto message of President Johnson entitle
him to the confidence and support of all who respect
the Constitution and love their country.
7* That the nation owes to the brave men of cur
armies and navy a debt of lasting gratitude for
their heroic service, in defence of the Constitution
and the Union ; and that while we cherish wita
tender affection the memories of the fallen, we
pledge to their widows and orphans the nation's
care and protection.
9 That we urge upon Congress the duty of equal
izing the bounties of our soldiers and sailors.
Among the first dispatches by the
Atlantic telegraphic cable is the important
announcement that a treaty of peace has
bean signed between Prussia and Austria,
A bloody riot is going on in New
Orleans between a little knot of abolition
disunion conspirators and their negro friends
on the one side, and the white men of that
citv on the other side. At latest dispatch
es all the lockups and prisons were filled
with rioters; and all the hospitals with
dying and wounded men. An attempt by a
few abolition conspirators to asurp the
State Government and change the consti
tution by reviving the bogus convention of
1864, is the immediate cause of the riot. —
The city is now under martial law.
Rend the letter of Hon. Heury J.
Raymond, published in to-day's paper,
dragging to light, and exposing the deep
laid damnable conspiraav of the disunion
radicals to plunge the country into another
civil war. This expose, let it be borne in
mind, comes f-om a leading member of the
republican party—one who has been in a
position to know whereof he affirms. The
chairman of the National Republican com
mittee—published in his own paper, over
his own signature.
If with these startling facts before them,
men still continue to give aid and support
to a party whose revolutionary designs are
thu- plainly and authoritively exposed,they
cannot complain that all patriots, all lovers
of our country and its institutions; should
denounce them asdisunionists. traitors, and
enemies to our common country.
jtlJltle pTain Talk.
With the present number of our paper
we close the Fifth Volume. Upon looking
ovor our list we find, not a few persons,
who have taken the Democrat during the
w hole time, five years, without the payment
to us of a single farthing. This constant
wear and tear upon our patience and for
bcarance, towards such delinquents, make
us feel, at times, that we are doing injustice,
not only to ourselves and family, but to our
friend*, who make it a point of honor and
o r duty, to pay promptly for their paper.—
It all our subscribers were prompt in their
payments, we would be enabled to furnish
them a bstter paper, both as to size of paper,
amount, and quality of reading matter. —
As it now is—with so many readers who
only expect to settle their accounts at the
day of jud<;m(nt —half our time, and all
our energies are devoted to devising "ways
and means" whoieby we may keep ourself
and those dependent upon us, from rags
and starvation, and at the same time keep
alive and kicking a Democratic organ.
We do not wish to intimidate by
threat*.
We hardly suppose that those who have
heretofore turned a deaf ear to our appeals
from time to time, can be intimidated, at
tt is late day, or year. But necessity, the
necessity of self-preservation, compels us to
say (and we shall act, too,) that those who
owe us for one year and upward, must pay.
Those whose accounts have been run
ning for two, three, four and five years,
(see label on this paper) w ill be liable any
dav from this time henebforth, to have their
accounts put into the hands of an officer
for coll"ction.
Two dollars per year, is all we propose
to charge any delinquent, who now comes
forward, and paysfor his paper. If put to
the necessity ot bringing suit for our pay,
we shall certainly insist upon the payment
of #2,50 per year—in accordance with our
published terms.
We hope no reader will fail to compre
lierd the full meaning of this dunn —and
pray that we may ever be delivered from
tla- necessity of repeating it.
ASTOUNDING DEVELOPEMENTS.
The Radicals Preparing for Civil War.
MORE BLOOD LETTING REQUIRED TO CE
MENT THE UNION.
From the following letter of Hon. Mr.
Raymond, Republican member of Con
gress, and editor of the New York Times,
it would appear to be the opinion of the
Radicals in Congress that blood enough
has not been shed to sat isfy their insatiate
thirst. They require that a much larger
national debt, greater taxation, more mise
ry. suffering and woe, shall be entailed up
on the country, that more horrible scenes,
more years of blood, devastation and car
nage, are to be experienced before the peo
ple can be prepared for the blessings of
free government. We do not believe it.
The Democracy of the country, the ration
al and conservative men of every State of
the whole Union do not believe it, and
they, together with every other voter of
any party who desires the preservation </
the liberties bequeathed by the patriots of
the Revolution, will exert hiinselt to pre
vent the direst calamity that can befall tl e
country.
We present the letter of Mr. Raymond
below, and hope that it will not only be
read, but that the reader will seriously
ponder the danger with which the lives,
liberty and property of the whole country
are now threatened. We ask now, can
reasonable and reflecting men pause as to
the course they should pursue ? We sub
mit to them if the Radicals now in power
are not as much the enemies of free gov
ernment, of pure republican government
as was King George the II I, or Charles the
11, of England ? And will the people*
can they hesitate as to the course to be pur
sued in the approaching contest. Can
they hesitate to make the Convention of
the 14th August next an eternal barrier to
the nefarious designs of l lie Radicals?
WASHINGTON, SUNDAY, July 15. 1860.
* * * * * *
The Union party in Congress is just
now experiencing a panic of more than
usual severity, more cicdft to its zeal than
to its discretion.
You may have noticed the passage in
the House, a few days s : nce, of a resolu
tion offered by General Paine, of Wiscon
son, calling on the Statc\ to organize, dis
cipline and equip their militia, and direct
ing tli.it two thirds of the arms, ordinance
and ammunition now under custody of the
Gene 1 Government be distributed among
the 6/". —the distribution among the loy
al States to take place immediately, and
that among the States lately in rebellion to
be postponed until further orders. The
resolution came up from the Committee on
Military Affairs, and was pushed to a vote,
without debate or delay, under the pre
vious question. It attracted as little atten
tion in Congress as it has in the country;
and the public will doubtless receive with
incredulity the assurance that it was in
tended by those who secured its passage as
the first step towards preparing for another
war. Although no debate was had upon
it, m'-mbers were urged to vote for it by
direct conversational appeals on the floor
on the part of the few who were privy to
its introduction. Some were told that it
was necessary to enable the Southern loy
alists to protect themselves—others that it
was simply a matter of detail in the War
'Department —others that the arms must be
taken out of the hands of the President,
and others that it was proposed at-the in
stance of the Secretary of War. An ap
peal was made by Mr. Kasson, of lowa to
allow debate upon it, as it seemed to be a
matter of importance bu* this was refused*
Most of the leading and reflecting Rad
icals in Congress take this view of the po
litical future. If the fall elections result in
the choice of Northern Democrats enough
to constitute, when added to the members
from the Southern States, a majority of the
lb-use, they assume that this majority,
thus constituted, will claim to be the Con
gress, and will act atcordingly, and that
they will be recogniz d bv the President
as the body to which he will send his mes
sage, and whose sessions he will, if the
necessity should arise, protect bv military
force. They assert, on the otherjhand, that
the Union members from the loyal States
if they constitute a majority from those
States will claim to be the only legal Con
gress, and will, if necessary, invoke an in
surrection of the people to maintain them
in that position. They do not in the least
conceal their purpose, in the event of sueh
a collision, to appeal to force, and to "drive
the rival Congress, with the President, and
his Cabinet and supporters, into the Poto
| mac, to use the language of one of the
'■ ablest and most sinceie of their number.
If you will recall the remarks of Mr. Bout
well, of Massachusetts", in the last week' 9
first caucus, you will see this movement
clearly foreshadowed, indeed avowed.—
lie declared his belief that an issue of
P force was rapidly approaching, and that we
must be prepared to meet it. He acts, and
all who co-operate with him in these
measures protVss to act, under the appre
hension that the President intends to re
sort to force—that he means to disperse
the present Congress on its re-assembling
in December if it refused to admit the
Southern members; and Mr. Farnsworth
ascribed to Mr. Seward the declaration
that this Congress shonld never reassemble
unless the Southern members were admit
ted—in support of this belief, I need
scarcely say that Mr. Seward never made
any remark of the kind, nor that the project
ascribed to the President is purely an in
vention, or at best the crazy dream of a
political nightmare. But in # either case it
serves the same purpose. It covers, and i 6
held to justify, the determination to arouse
the North, and prepare for a resort to
force upon the assembling of the Fortieth
Congress in extra or in regular session,
and this determination is avowed. And
the resolution to which 1 have referred, for
,an organization oft!]* militia and a distri-.
bution of arms in the Northern States, is
the initial step to its execution.
Ido not propose to comment upon the
result of such a movement. It is obvious
that if any such ["contingency should arise
the war would not be sectional , as was the
last—it would be a war of political parties
and of neighborhoods. Not only have the
great body of the Union party in Congress
no sympathy with these views and pur
poses, but they are in the main ignorant
and incredulous of their existence. That
the extreme Radicals entertain them, how
ever, there is not the slightest doubt, and
we know, from the experience of secession
in 1861, how few men it sometimes re
quires to plunge a great party or a great
nation into war.
The Philadelphia Conzentionis another (
source of panic to the Union party. By .
the Radicals of whom I have spoken it is j
regarded as intended to pave the way for ,
bringing Northern Democrats and South- t
ern rebels into close concert of action under i
the protection of the President, at the *
opening of the next Congress for the pnr- i
pose referred to above. And by nearly the
whole Union party, as represented here, it \
is believed that its object is to break up i
the Fnion organization and form a new
party which shall embrace Northern Dem
ocrats, Southern rebels and such portions '
of the Union party as may be detached 1
from the old organization. It seems to be i
overlooked that this convention is called (
simply for consultation ;that it is not pro
posed to make nominations for any office, 1
to organize any new party, or to interfere
in any way with existing political parties, i
Any one or all of these things may be |
done by the Convention—but none of them
are embraced or proposed in the cab for
it. Those who may do them in Conven- 1
tion, or support them when done, w*ill of !
course be responsible for their action. If I
the Convention should take steps hostile to
the Union party, no one could longer ad
here to both. If it should make hostile
nominations, or adopt a hostile platform, '
no cne could support both. But until <
something of that sort is actually done, it ,
is not easy to see why any man of any par
ty may not go into consultation with his
fellow-citizens from every party and from
every section, without forfeiting his party 1
relations- The idea that members of i
Congress have any right, in caucus or
elsewhere, to issue decrees of expulsion or
exclusion in such a case is simply absurd.
At the same time it is evident that the
Philadelphia Convention is regarded with
great disfaror by all sections of the
Union party.
These defaults of its own have given the (
Philadelphia Convention a degree of
strength which it is not wise for the lead- ,
ers of the Union party to ignore or under
rate. By judicious counsels at the outset
they might Lave prevented it; it is not yet
too late to save themselves from being ruin
ed by it. But they will make a fatal mis
take if they content th'-roselves with ignor
ing or denouncing it. If it should happen
to he under the guidance of wise and patri
otic counsels it the Southern delegates who
may participate in its deliberations should
proffer, in their words and their action, un
mistakable evidence of the sincerity with
which they accept the adverse result of the
war they waged, and of their readiness to
adopt their laws, their habits and their
whole political action to the necessities
which that result has created, if the North
ern Democrats, who share its action, should
cut loose from the men and the measures
which made them so obnoxious to public
censure during the war, and should pledge
themselves to the honor of the nation and
to a liberal policy worthy alike of its histo
ry and its destiny -if the platform of prin
ciples which the Convention may adopt,
and the action it may recommend, shall
prove thus responsive to the enlarged and
lofty aspirations of the rational heart, it
may be found that no party organization,
however compact it may seein to he, and
however strongly fortified by the memory
of pa-t services, can withstand its influence
upon the sentiments and the action of the
great body of the American people.
The Italian army suffered a sad reverse
the other day because, trusting to the
goodness of its cause, it marched boldly
upon fortresses whose strength it despised.
The Union party will consult its own safety
and the good of the country, bv not throw
ing itself against the Philadelphia Con
vention until it knows a little more of the
nature and strength of its armament. It.

CYRUS w. HELD.
There is a paper in Mobile called the
Nationalists, owned ani edited by the
Hacks. It has a colored correspondent at
New Orleans, who expresses his apprecia
tion of the Bureau in the following lan
guage. He says:—
" A thousand times better would it be
for .he colored man were it abolished, for, 1
instead of being a safeguard and protection
for the freed men, it is only a place in which
freedmen's rights are bartered away; it ;
serves only to engender bitterness and ha- j
tred in the hearts of the very people with !
whom we expect to live, die, and be bur
ied."
An unfortunate Kentucky editor
thus addresses his dclinqunent subscribers j
• "Friends, we are penniless. Job's turkey
was a millionaire compaired with our pres
ent depressed treasury. To-day, if the
price of salt was two cents a barrel full, we
could uot buy enough to pickle a jay bird." |
Greeley Alarmed.
The New York Tribune has been most
bitter in its denunciation of the National
Union Convention to be held in Philadel
phia on the 14th of August. Its fears are
excited to such a pitch that it raves frantic
ally from day to day. At first it affected to
despise the movement as insignificant; of
late, however, it has altered its tune. In
yesterday's issue it says :
This Philadelphia Convention has the
substantial support, to start with, of the
party which polled over 1,800,000 votes
for McClellan and Pendleton in 1804.-
Then it is backed by the essentially un
changed rebels, with scarcely an exception.
Add to these the Federal Executive, with
its despotic power over what Mr. Ran
dall terms the "bread and butter" of more
than One Hundred Thousand Republicans
now in office, yet who are given to under
stand that their ollicial heads must fall if
they fail to support "my policy," and the
Philadelphia Convention movement is seen
to be sufficiently formidable to justify and
demand fixed attention.
No wond'-r the Tribune is startled by its
own figures. We will not complain about
the terms of classification it employs, or the
names it applies to opponents. It is at lib
erty to style every Southerner who is not
ready to endorse the doctrine of negro suf
frage an "unchanged rebel." It may stig
matize the vast body of Conservative Re
publicans who stand by President Johnson
as it sees tit. Its ill names will make them
none the less numerous or respectable. The
fact stands out well ascertained and ac
knowledged, accoiding to the Tribune's
own showing, that the Radical wing of the
Republican party is already hopelessly in
the minority when the vote of the whole
country is taken into account. The Phila
delphia Convention will represent a large
majority of the people of the United States.
It is no wonder that Greeley is alarmed at
the formidable character of this political
movement. It promises to destroy the
radical disunion party in the North, and
that speedily,for which all good men should
be thankful.— Honesdale I/eruld.
A Washington despatch says:
"Secretary Stanton will occupy one of the houses
at the Soldiers' Home during the suminor."
The late Mr. Lincoln, for- four succes
sive summers, also occupied "one of the
houses at the Soldiers' Home," taking the
best of them, the old Riggs mansion.—
President Johnson, last summer, was
urged to take up his quarters i.i the same
place. The White House was unhealthy ;
the old Riggs house is charmingly situated,
with fine fruit and vegetable gardens in the
rear, a delightful air, and a view from the
front which is unsurpassed even at Mount
Vernon. The place and surrounding farm
were purchaser] and improved for the sol
diers with the $250,000, or thereabouts,
taken by General Scott in Mexico, ar.d
every soldier in tin? tegular army contrib
utes a small sum which is retained from
his monthly pay to provide a home for
him there, if he ever needs it. When Mr.
Johnson was urged to golhcie he said,
"No; lam uot a soldier, and I have no
business there." As Mr. Lincoln was, and
Mr. Stanton is, a soldier, it is quite proper
that elegant rural residences should be pro
vided and maintained for such war-worn
veterans, at the government expeuse.
FORNEY THE NEGRO CHAMPION. —The
Patriot d- Union says the voters of Penn
sylvania wdl bear in mind that John W.
Forney has announced himself a candidate
for United States Senator, to take Senator
Cowan's place whose term will expire in
1867. In announcing himself Forney de
clares his purpose, if elected to confer
impartial sutf\a<je upon American citizens
of every creed color or nativity.' The
people must see to it, therefore, that no
State Senator or even Assemblyman is
elected favorable to Forney or the party
with which he affiliates. For the same
reason, John W. Geary, who T*as Foim-y's
ardent choice for Governor, must be de
feated. It is important, also, that no
member of Congress should be elected who
is tinctured with a negro mania. Negro
suffrage is clearly the issue now before the
i counti v, and unlessthe people repudiate it
through the ~andidates,they will nevei|have
an opportunity to vote upon the question
at all. The leaders of the so called Re
publican party do not intend to ever allow
a populor vote to be taken upon the ques
tion ol negro suffrage. Their design is to
secure it through the legerdemain of Fed
eral and State Legislation and clinch it by
means of a subsidized court, presided over
by a judge who is a candidate for the pres
idency, and consequently vitally interested
in the addition of so vast a number of black
voters to that party. Voters of Pennsyl
vania, there is danger ahead ! Look well
to your interests and rights !
GOING TO HANG IIIM.—The Abolition
disunion convention of Maine, which nom
inated Gen. Chamberlain for Govcnor,
adopted a resolution that "The President
ought to he tried by a civil tribunal and
summarily executed." That's the latest spec
imen of Radicals use to-thlnk that the Dem
ocrats were a little "forward"and rather im
prudent" withal, if they even hinted that
Mr.LiNcoLN, though very honest might pos
sibly he mistaken once in a while ? That's
our recolection in the premises. It may be
a little inconvenient for these Radicals to
hear the truth as proclaimed by Mr- Jons.
SON, but then we wouldn't hang him just yet.

Luxury and Fxfravagance—Who Pays
the Fiddlrr,
[From the Keokuk Constitution ]
Ten vears ago there resided at Mount
Pleasant, in this State, a young clergyman
by the name of Barlan, who sometimes
preached, but whose chid business wa
teaching school in the Mount Pleasant Col
lege at a salary of probably ssooor 8600 a
year. Iltt dressed plainly and his family
lived economically in a plain, cheap, town
cottage. In the winter of 1855 and 1856.
this cleagyman was elected by a Puritan
Legislature Senator in the American Con
gress, and soon this former unpretending
clergyman assumed huge proportions in
dress, equipage, sty le, and fashion and mode
of life,. lie built a palatial residence in j
Mount Pleasant at a cost of $12,000, and
furnished it at a cost of $7,000 more; and
the family of the preacher became the lead
er of the gay, aristocratic and fashionable
world about Mount Pleasant, hut the
preacher had increased in proportion so
much that he must needs have a residence
on the Capitoiine Hill in Washington, and
he purchased a grand residence ti.ere at a
cost of $30,000 more.
So grandly was this residence furnished
that in the Summer of 1855 some burglars,
having hioken their way into the house,
found ornaments of gold and silver jewelry
lving scattered about to the value 0f53,000
and unceremoniously pocketed the same and
carried it off. Report savs, too, that dur
ing the opera season the preacher's family
hired two boxes at the theater, at a cost of
•SIOO a week or thereabout: that ho holds
his weekly levees for the gav and festive
if that city of wealth and luxtirr ; and be
tween the obeisance and fluttering of liv r
ied servants, and other extravagances, the
house of the former humble minister of the
gospel more resembles a palace f monar
chy than the residence of an American
gentleman. But where does all the money
come from, and who pays for the fiddling?
