THE STATE PRINTER.
If we comprehend the meaning of words,
John W. Burke, of Macon, is the State

1029th section of the Code declares : “The

This, of course, entitles Mr. Burke to the

and we trust both Houses will so decide.
FRANK BLAIR'S PLA TFORM.
We have no wish to misrepresent the
sentiments of our opponents, nnd so we
give place to the full text of the Blair
platform. The acts of A. J. are mild and
conservative compared with what thisxlis
appointed and ambitions member of the
Blair family proposes to do. He is a Louis
Napoleon without the latter's brains or
shrewdness. The idea of a Presidential
coup de dal, a taking of the responsibility
with a vengeance, the result of which is io
be the utter subversion oi-aeonstitutioual
government: the declaration that certain
laws are null and void, may be democratic
enough to suit the rebels, iii whose interests
the laws are to be set aside, but will hardly
meet the approval of thinking men and
loyalists. Frank P. Blair—the man who
managed the burning operations in Sher
man’s march through Georgia to the sea
board—will be in a mad-house before he
will tind himself in a position to carry out
his little programme for the destruction of
our Republican form of government.
We commend the Blair platform to the
careful perusal of our Conservative and
Democratic friends. *
Washington, June 30,
Col. Joints O. Broa<lheail f
Dkar Uouim: In reply to your inquiries, 1
beg leave to say that I have to you jo determine,
on cooaultation with my friends from Missouri,
whether my name shall be presented to the Dem
ooratio Convention, and to submit the following,
as what I consider the real and only issue in this
contest.
The reconstruction policy of the Radicals will
be complete betbro the next election; the States,
so long excluded, vfill have been admitted,
negro suffrago irtablishe t, nnd the carpet bag
gers installed in their seats in both branches of
Congress. There is no possibility of changing
the political character of the Senate, even if the
Democrats should elect their President, and a
majority of the popular branch of Congress. \'.’c
can not, therefore, undo the Radical plan <4
rccofcstruation by Congressional action. The
Senate will continue a bar to its appeal- Must
we submit to it ? How can it be overthrown ?
It can only be overthrown by the authority of the
Execntive, who is sworn to maintain the Consti
tution, and who will fail to do bis duty if ho
allows the Constitution to perish under a series
of Congressional enactments, which are in pal
pable violation of its fuHdamvtital principles.
If the Profident elected by the Democracy
enforces or permits others to enforce those Re
construction acts, the Radicals, by the aeoeseion
ot twenty spurious Senators and fifty Represent
atives, will control both branches of Congress,
and his administration will be as powerless as
Dpi present one of Mr. Johnson.
f ~There is but ono way te restore the Govern
ment and the Constitution, and that is for the
President elect to declare those acts null and
void, compel the army to undo its usurpation* at
the South, disperse tho carpet bag State govern
ment.', allow the white io organize their
own governments, and oleet Senators and
.Representatives. The Mouse of Representatives
will contain a of Democrats from the
North, and they will admit tho Representatives
elected by the white people of the .South, and
wi‘h the co operation of tho President it will not
bo difficult to compel tho Senate to submit anco
more to the obligations of the Constitution® It
will not be able to withstand tho public pi.lg
ment, if distinctly invoked and clearly expressed,
on this fundamental issue, aud it is the sure wny
to avoid all future strife to put this issue plainly
to the country.
I-repeat that this is the real and only question
which we should allow to control us. Shall we
submit to tho usurpation* by which the govern
ment has been overthrown, or shall wo exert
ourselves for its full and complete restoration ?
It is idle to talk of bonds, greenbacks, gold, the
public faith and the public credit. What can a
Democratic President do in regard to any of
these, with a Congress in both branches con
trolled by the carpet-baggers and their allies ?
He wilfbo powerless te stop the supplies by
whleh idle negroes ar* organized into political
clubs—by which an army is maintained to pro
tect these vagabonds iu their outrages upon tho
ballot. These, and things like these, imt up-tho
revenues and resources of the Goverunient, and
destroy its credit, make tho difference between
gold and greenbacks. Wo must restore the Con
stitution before wo cun restore the finances, and
to do this we must havo a President who will
execute the will of tho people, by trampling into,
dust the usurpations of Congress, known os the
Reconstruction Acts. I wish to stand before
the Convention upon this issue, but it is one that
embraces everything else that is of value in its
large aud comprehensive results. It is tho eno
thing that includes all that is worth a contest,
and without it, there is nothing that gives dig
nity, honor or value to the struggle.
Your friend,
Frank P. Reais.
Does the Democratic Party mean rev
olution? Undoubtedly it docs; else why
nominate a candidate for Vice President
who says s “It is the duty of the President
elect to declare these reconstruction acts
null and void ; compel the army to undo
its usurpations at the South ; disperse the
carpet-bag State governments; allow the
white people to reorganize their own gov
ernments,” etc. If this does not lead direct
ly to revolution aud anarchy, then to what
does it lead ?
The New Yorkers prevented the nomi
nation of Pexdi.ktvn, and the Ohio men
have paid them for it by nominating Sey
mour. Pendleton was beaten in the Con
vention and Seymoub will be slaughtered
at the polls. Tit for tat is still the law
among tfie wicked politicians.

[From the New York Albion, July 11, 186 S.
PARTY “PLATFORMS" AND PRESI
DENTIAL CANDIDATES.
The inflection that we, stand entirely in
depenaent of local’ parties in such tirricH as
these, affords us unalloyed pleasure and
sincere satisfaction. When a great and
would be free, as well as independent, peo
ple arc hoodwinked by artful and selfish
party leaders, and tire wantonly, or design
odly, led in piths distasteful to .them, it
becomes the duty of all weM wishers of the
human face, to point out the shoals and
breakers which loom up ahead—however
artfully they tnay be enveloped in Ute mists
of purely party welfare. Thus far wc have
had little or nothing to say On the policies
und purposes of the two leading organise
tions of this country, further than to record
facts as they transpired ; but now that the
lines arc drawn, and that the respective
candidates for the highest Executive office
in the nation arc squarely before the people,
it is the part of the impartial journalist to
criticise platforms and candidates alike,
purely on their merits.
And first as to the “platforms' —so called
—upon which the respective Presidential
candidates arc destined to stand. The party
now in power, known as the Republican
organization, while it {doubtfully we
think) congratulates the country “on the
assured success of the reconstruction policy
of Congress”—which deprives the most
intelligent white man of his birthright, ana
gives unqualified suffrage to the recently
emancipated slaves of the South —on the.
other hand manfully proceeds to “denounce
all forms of repudiation as a national crime,’
and to assert that “the national honor re
quires the payment of the public indebted
ness in the uttermost good faith to all
creditors at home and abroad, according to
the letter and spirit of the laws trader which
it was contracted,” adding that “the best
policy to diminish our burden of debt is to
so improve our credit that capitalists will
seek to loan us money at-lower-rates of
interest than we now pay, and must con
tinue to pay so long as repudiation, partial
or total, open or covert, is threatened or
suspected.'’
•The Democratic party, on the other bund,
“recognizes the questions of slavery and
secession as having been settled for all time
to come by the war, or the voluntary action
of the Southern States, jn Constitutional
Convention assembled, and never to be
renewed or reagitated, do, with the return
of pence, demand : 1. Immediate restoro
tion of all the States to their rights in the
Union under the Constitution, and of civil
government to the American people.—
2. Amnesty for all past offences, and the
regulation of the elective franchise in the
States by their citizens." The party then
proceeds to propound the very questionable,
if not actually dishonorable, doctrine, that
“where the obligations of the Government
do not expressly state upon their face, or
the law under which they were issued does
not provide that they shall bo paid in coin,
they ought, in right and in justice, to be
paid in the lawful money (?) of the United
States.”
The last clause quoted above is enough to
alienate not only the nation and the people
to which we purselves belong, but also tq
lose to the Democratic party of the United
Statas the sympathy, if not actually tbi?
favorable regard, of all foreign countries.
It is with this financial question that the
leading European nations have to do.. And
with reason too, since England and Ger
many alone probably now: hold more than
a third of the entire United States’ out
standing obligations—and for w hich they
freely paid their gold, when it was very
questionable whether the great liepublic of
the West would actually maintain its pres
ent boundaries. So far as platforms go,
then, wo arc reluctantly forced to side with
the party now iu power at Washington.
And since platforms of principles are
prepared in advance for candidates to stand
upon in thePresidentialcontest, thepeiwonale
of the respective candidates becomes of
secondary importance. For if the platforms
were reversed the success of the respective
candidates would be to a considerable ex
tent affected, if not entirely changed. As
matters now stand, therefore, it is a fore
gone conclusion in our minds, and wo think
also in the minds of three fourths of the
American people, that Gen. Grant will be
the next President of the United States.
We have, some weeks ago, foreshadowed
the possibility of a third ticket headed by
some such moderate man as Chief Justice
Chase, and Charles Francis Adams—and
this possibility still exists—but unless some
such movement be set on foot, we consider
the final result no longer doubtful.
The lion; Horatio Seymour, who has been
four times a candidate, and twice Governor
of the State of New’ York, is unquestionably
a man of political experience, and good
executive ability ; but when wo consider
that his claims to the Presidency are based
mainly upon his consistent and determined
opposition to the late war, while his subor
dinate on the Democratic ticket, General
Frank P. Blair, of Missouri, was one of the
active participants iu the struggle, wc can
not clearly see wherein lies the fundamental
strength, or consistency, of the party in the
coming oonteat; particularly when wc con
aider the unsafe, as well as unsatisfactory,
financial plank in the platform of principles
unanimously adopted by the-Convention’.
The rash and unwise letter, recently ppb
lished by General Blair—andon which the
Convention has nominated him tor tuo Vice
Presidency —will also do much to weaken
the Democratic ticket. The American peo
ple have had enough of wait; and will
hardly now entertain the idea suggested by
the Democratic General of calling iu “ti>e
nrmy to undo” the recent acts of Congress.
On the whole, wc think it unfortunate for
the Southern people that eld issues were
not for the present ignored ; and that the
internal commercial, in place of the finan
cial, policy of their opponents, were not
made one of the leading issues by the
Democracy of the North ; in which ease the
chances of success would have been greatly
increased, if not actually assured.
Gov. Seymour is perhaps the ablest inan
in the Democratic party. Had he hot been
a partisan, he might have been a states
man ; but his training has been in that
corrupt and selfish school of politicians that
lias disgraced New York for a quarter of a
century. He is professedly opposed to the
repudiation of the national debt; but he
mounts with cheerfulness a republican
platform, and gratifies his ambition by the
gnerifioe of his most earnestly declared per
sonal and political convictions. Os Gen.
Blair, the candidate for theVieePrcsideucy
it is enough to say that .he is l.is own worst
enemy. r
Frank P. Blair reminds n» of that mortal
angel who went up in « balloon and landed
in the botton of a well. His military record,
as he now stands, will not giwe bimatrue
soldier. His present political position, so
defwied by his letter, alarms every man with
a family and a home in the coujitrt.' He
seeks office for the purpose of inaugurating,
civil war.
VaLlaxdigham seconded the n&ijiiifotion
of Seymour with a moving speech. These
two great apostles of the Democracy illus
trate the real David and Jonathan affection.
In their political death they skill not be
divided.
FRANCIS P. BLAIR F(JB VICE
PRESIDENT. £
The fatal point of the Detmgjrafic ticket
is the nomination of Gem F.iP. Blair, Jr.,
for the Vice Pr?sidetf(!y. Gen. Blair is a
jolly good fellow, a first rate fighter, great
on a stump speech, and a strict temperance
man. But in politics he is unsound, ex
treme, and violent.
On the 3d Inst., Gen. Blair wrote a letter
to Col. Janies O. Broadjiead, containing, his
bid for the Democratic Presidential nomina
tion. Lu this latter ho proposes that the
next President should traipple .into dust the
Reconstruction Acts, “compel th'e army to
undo its usurpations at the South, disperse
the carpet bag State governments, allow the
white people to reorganize their own Gov
ernments, and elect Senators and Repre
sentatives. The House of Representatives,”
continued Gen. Bia u> “will contain a ma
jority of Democrats from the North, and
they will admit the Representatives of the
white people of the South, and with the co
operation of the President, it will not be
difficult to compel the Senate to submit once
more to the obligations of the Constitution.’’
This letter means armed revolution and
civil war in the South to, disperse the
exising Slate Governments, and revolution
and civil war in the North (o compel the i
Senate to acquiesce in the destruction Os
those State Governments, and in the ad
mission to Congress of the new Senators and
Representatives to be chosen after the
Southern revolution has been consummated.
The nomination of Gen. Blair, with this
letter in full view of every member of the
Convention, makes the letter itself, in the
public mind, a part of the Democratic
platform almost as much as if the Platform
Committee had seen fit to incorporate its
propositions among their resolves. This is
already visible in the attack which Senator
Morton made upon the ticket on the very
day of its nomination, and in the comments
of the Republican Press. All these show
that the name of Blair constitutes an
irremediable'weakness in the ticket; and
this will be still more strikingly developed as
the canvass advances.
Still worse than the letter, in the public
estimation, is the fact that Gen. Blair was
the favorite' of the Southern delegations.
The Confederate General Preston, of Ken
tucky, nominated him. Wade Hampton
spoke fur him. So did Gon. Kemper, of
Virginia. So did Gon. Forrest, of Tennes
see—of Fort Pillow memory. St> did Gon.
Ashbel Smith, of Texas. So did the rebel
Governor Vance, of North Carolina- Facts
like these will be made to tell powerfully
by cunning appeals to the passions of the
people-
In a Word, the nomination of Gen. Blair
is a gross political plunder. It is to bo
explained only by the fact that the Con
vention was tired out, so that its delegations
were no longer in possession of ' their
usual good judgment'. It makes the
contest turn on the old issues of
the war, on which the Democracy
have always been beaten, and always will be.
It adds to the certainty that no Republican
will be got to vote for the Democratic candi
dates, and gives a ridiculous appearance to
the great movement for Old Greenbacks, by
which it was hoped that the Demo'cratic
party might be regenerated, and put once
more in the way of victory and spoils. With
Gov. Seymour’s great popularity, there was
a chance of carrying Pennsylvania, as well
as New York, New Jersey and Connecticut,
for the Democratic ticket, though not of
beating Grant and winning the election. But
with Blair and the Blair platform, the ease is
perfectly hopeless,. The Democrats have
utterly defeated themselves. Grant and
Cclfax will walk over the course, and the
House of Representatives, as well as the
Senate, will be altogether Republican.
[Aeto York Suu.
HOW THE NOMINATION TAKES.
How the nomination of Horatio Seymour
aud F. P. Blair, Jr., as the standard-bearers
of tho self-styled Democratic party is received
in different parts of the country, among the
rank and file, it is perhaps too early to
determine, ns we havd not at this writing
anything except the most meagre reports.
We have, however, already published several
dispatches sent us by the Associated Press
from the South, which speak of great,
satisfaction in some port. of that region of
country with the ticket. This was to have
been expected ; or, rather, we should say,
it was to have been cj;pe6led that the agents
of the Associated Press iu that quarter would
so assure us whether it.were really so or not.
We are inclined to think, however, that in
this Instance these agents tell us tile truth,
for this ticket £ just what the whilom rebels
desired. ' Tin: known sympathies ot Mr.
Seyufour with the rebellion, so thoroughly
manifested in that fearful riot which took
place iq New York when Lee was in
Gettysburg and threatening to water his
horses in the Delaware, marks the twaddling
and truckling ex Governor as just the man
to wji°m unrepentant rebels can tie.
Then again Blair’s revolutionary letter,
diabolical in spirit and in purpose as it is,
meets a response in every rebel heart. Why
should not the unreconstructed rebels be
pleased with this ticket ? For once, doubt
less, therefore, the agents of the Associated
Press havo told us the truth.
But how isit in the loyal States ? From
such information as we can obtain up to
this hiiitr, this ticket is a wet blanket to the
Northern denw«twtv It can inspire no
enthusiasm, and calls fofth po strength. It
is a dead -cock. in Jthe pit, and the party in
all the country must go under. Such, are
the fodientibns. and such will be the fact in
November. ’ ”
The Democracy in Washington, bn Thurs
day afternoon apd cyXlp.og, were the most
chop-fallen i>ct we jhave witnessed this
many a day. They even Show more chagrin
and disappointment than the same parties
here used to exhibit during the war, when
ever the Union arms triumphed over the
rebel forces. The real honest democrats
lure, who believed in the war, and went in
to suppress the rebellion, were indignant
and swore as loudly as “our army in Flan
ders.” — Washington Republican.
