THE TWO PLATFORMS.
In a former number of this journal, we
made some strictures upon the Republican
platform recently sent forth from Cincinnati,
and among other things, we demonstrated
that the clause in the platform, quoted from
the Declaration of Independence, that “ All
men are created equal,” is an untruth, and a
pestilential political heresy, which led to all
the horrors and enormities of the reign of
terror in France at the close of the last ccn
tury, and which produced the late war in this
country, shed oceans of blood, destroyed a
million of lives, and saddled the country with
a debt which our great grand-children will
not see paid. Wc now propose to pa}’ our
respects more fully and formally to this plat
form, and to contrast it in some measure w ith
our Democratic platform set forth at St. Louis.
As literary compositions, the two documents
are in striking contrast. The Republican
platform is merely a piece of literary botch
work, unworthy of a Sophomore ; while the
Democratic platform would do honor to the
pen of an Addison, a Johnson, or a Jefferson.
But we are concerned with them at present
simply as embodiments of political principles,
and in that light vve will proceed to view and
review them.
In their second plank, again quoting from
the Declaration of Independence, the Repub
licans at Cincinnati affirm that, “ For the at
tainment of these ends, Governments have
been instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Our fathers of 1776 laid down this principle
to justify themselves before the world in with
drawing their allegiance from the British
Government; and the Republican party now
affirm that our forefathers laid down a wise
and righteous political principle. In 1861,
eleven States of tins Union, embracing about
eight millions of people, affirmed before the
whole world that “Governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the governed,”
and justifying themselves upon that very
clause of the Declaration of Independence,
withdrew from the Federal Government, and
set up anew Government, to which the}’ gave
their entire consent. But then the Republi
can party denied the justness of their course,
repudiated the principle of the fathers of 1776,
and the very principle which they now re-af-
firm ; declared war upon the withdrawing
States, destroyed a million of precious lives,
spent four billions of treasure, and destroyed
four billions of property, to make good their
declaration at that time —that “Governments
do NOT derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed.” But 10, and be
hold ! fifteen years later, after forcing the
South back again under a Government from
which she had withdrawn her consent, the
Republican party faces about, changes front,
and re affirms the very principle which they
had denied in 1861. Have the Republicans
become secessionists? It would seem so.
Perhaps with prophetic ken, foreseeing the
triumph of Democracy in the election of Til
den and Hendricks next November, and be
ing unwilling to submit to the rule of an
honest, reforming administration, they have
re-affirmed this principle of the fathers of
1776, in order to pave the way for their own
withdrawal from the Federal Government.
When Fremont, their favorite “Pathfinder,”
was defeated in the Presidential election by
Buchanan, in 1856, one of the leaders of the
Republican party, in the New York /ade-
pendent, said, “Our candidate is defeated. It
now remains for us to determine whether we
will withdraw from the Union, or wait four
years, and then vote again.” And now per
haps the Republican party is meditating a
like movement from the Union. But we will
say to the leaders of that party that “ Seces
sion is played out.” The South was not per
mitted to make her secession good, and when
the Republicans shall undertake to inaugu
rate another departure from the Union, five
millions of Democrats, North and South, will
draw their trusty swords to prevent the im
pions deed. We forewarn the Republicans
that they cannot, and they shall not, with
draw from this Union. But to cap the climax
of Republican absurdity and inconsistency,
the Cincinnati platform, after repeating the
principle that “Governments derive their just
powers from th<* consent of the governed,”
proceeds to declare that, “ Until these truths
are cheerfully obeyed, or, if need be, rigor
ously enforced, the work of the Republican
party is unfinished.” That is to say—Govern
ments have no just authority to rule over a
people without the consent of that people, but
if the people do not consent, the Government
must force them to consent. Such is the ad
mirable inconsistency of the Cincinnati plat
form ! Wonderful document. It blows hot
with one breath, and blows cold with the next
breath. It asserts a principle in one sen
tence, and then denies the same principle in
the succeeding sentence. Such inconsistency
is intensety sickening.
In their ninth plank, the Republicans sa}’,
“We affirm our opposition to further grants
of the public lands to corporations and mo
nopolies, and demand that the National do
main be devoted to free homes for the peo
ple.” But we ask, Who gave two hundred
millions of acres of the public lands to cor
rupt corporations and to swindling monop
olies during the last fifteen years ? And truth,
with open mouth, replies, “ A corrupt Repub
lican Congress and a venal Republican Pres
ident.” As the Republicans have lost their
power In Congress, and as a Democratic
House of Representatives has made it im
possible for the Republicans any longer to
enrich themselves and their Republican
friends by squandering the public domain up
on corrupt corporations, they have all of a
sudden become very virtuous and honest, and
with a “quickened conscience,” are now op
posed to what they have been doing with all
their might for the last fifteen years. If their
opposition to the squandering of the public
lands had commenced fifteen years sooner,
when they had the whole power of govern
ment in their own hands, the Government of
the United States to-day would be many mil
lions of acres of land richer than it is. Why
did not the Republicans shew their faith by
their works, when they had the power to do
so? When the Democrats were in i>ower,
they enacted the homestead and pre-emption
law’s to secure homes for the people upon the
public lands, and thus did the very thing
which the Republicans now pretend to wish for,
but which they would not do when they had
the power. The Democrats, when they had
the power, devoted the public lands for home
steads for the people, and when they again
shall have come into power by the election of
Tilden and Hendricks, they will faithfully
carry out the same policy as it appears in
their platform recently adopted at St. Louis ;
buk who can believe that the Republicans will
act out their ow n professed principle, after
they have been going diametrically contrary
to it for fifteen years, when they had all the
power in their own hands ? The Democrats
can be trusted to be faithful to their profess
ed principles, because when they had the
power they did what they promised to do.
But the Republicans cannot be trusted, be
cause they say one thing and do another. —
After they have given away to themselves
and to corrupt corporations two hundred mil
lions of acres of the best portions of the pub
lic lands, the people cannot, in safety, longer
trust them to administer the affairs of the
Government. Like Belshazzar of old, “They
have been weighed in the balances, and have
been found wanting,” and the public voice
and public justice now demand that they shall
retire from the seats of power, and give place
to their betters.
In the twelfth paragraph of their platform,
the Republicans throw a large tub to the fe
male whales, and give an awful squint of ap
proval to the absurd movement of “Woman's
Rights” and “Female Suffrage.” We would
suggest to them that when they shall proceed
to give to Woodlmll, Claflin, Susan B. An
thony, Mrs. Stanton, and all that class of
“Woman’s rights” shriekers, all the rights
they claim, and among them the right of the
ballot, they shall also give to us men the right
to bear and suckle all the babies. Somebody
must raise babies, or else the race of man will
become extinct, and if the women will quit
raising babies, and will vote under the aus
pices of the Republican party, and will hold
office, and will sit in Legislative and Con
gressional halls, and in Gubernatorial and
Presidential chairs, then we men must give
way to them, and claim their abandoned rights
—the right to guide the house, bear the ba
bies, make the clothes, darn the stockings,
and last, but not least, Ihe.right to “ Be wooed
and not unsought to be won.”
Unlike the Democratic platform, which is
plain, terse and pointed, the Republican plat
form is made up mostly of glittering general
ities and pointless platitudes; and passing
over several of these, let us take a careful
view of their fifteenth plank. It is in these
words, following: “We sincerely deprecate
all sectional feeling and tendcneics ; we there
fore note with deep solicitude that the Dem
ocratic party counts, as its chief hope of suc
cess, upon the Klectorial vote of a united
South, secured through the efforts of those
who were recently arrayed against the nation.
We invoke the earnest attention of the coun
try to the grave truth, that a success thus
achieved would re-open sectional strife, and
imperil the national honor and human rights.”
Well, well, well!!! Was such a piece of
downright impudence ever witnessed before
the Republicans met in solemn conclave at
Cincinnati, in the month of June, in this
memorable Centennial } r ear, 1876! “We
sincerely deprecate all sectional feeling and
tendencies,” say they. And yet, who does
not know that the Republican party is the
unclean and illegitimate spawn of intense and
unholy sectional feeling and hate against the
South and her institutions and interests ?
Who does not know that the Republican party
has, from its ver}’ birth, lived, thrived and
grown fat and exceedingly corrupt by fanning
and keeping hot the fires of sectional strife
and hate ? Who does not know that every
Democratic candidate for the Presidency has
been voted for in every State in the Union,
North and South, while Fremont and Lincoln,
the first and second Republican candidates,
did not even have an Electoral ticket in the
field in fifteen States of the Union ? Who
does not know that the Republican party at
its very origin, declared uncompromising war
upon the rights, property and institutions of
fifteen free and independent States ? And
yet, w ith consummate effrontery, and with the
most glaring hypocrisy, they sa}', “We sin
eercty deprecate all sectional feeling and ten
dencies.” O, for the pen of a George D.
Prentice, or the tongue of a Sargcant S. Pren
tiss, that we might be able to characterize and
rebuke such downright effronter}’ and such
devilish hypocrisy in befitting terms of ob
jurgation ! Let the hypocrite deprecate de
ception, if he will; and let the devil condemn
lying, if he be so minded ; but let not the Re
publican party deprecate that sectional feel
ing and hate, without which it cannot survive
an hour. But after deprecating sectional feel
ing and tendencies in one breath, the Repub
licans, with the very next breath, vent their
sectional hate against the “united South,”
and plainty intimate that if the Democrats
shall elect their candidate by the help of the
South, they' (the Republican party) will re
open their sectional war, and burst up the
government in their sectional hate and hellish
animosity against the South. Well, let them
hate and howl! Let them brandish the bloody
shirt! Let them appeal to ever}’ low and bad
feeling in the breasts of their ignorant and
ignoble dupes. Let them marshal the hosts
of hell and Republicanism in their frantic ef
forts to perpetuate their corrupt and ruinous
domination over these United States! But
their efforts will be vain. The evil days of
their supremacy arc nearly at an end. The
ides of November will seal their doom and
ring their death knell, and transfer the reins
of Government to that Democratic party
which, under Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
Jackson and Polk, secured such measures of
untold happiness and prosperity to the whole
country, North and South, East and West.
In the sixteenth paragraph of their plat
form, the Republicans charge the Democratic
majority in the House of Representatives,
“ With thwarting the ends of justice by its
partizan mismanagement and obstruction of
investigation/’ Bnt. alas \ for the Republi
cans, that thing called “investigation,” is the
very shoe that now pinches them so painfully.
As soon as the Democrats gained a majority
in the House, they instituted measures of
“investigation,” which have uncovered amass
of Republican filth and rottenness in the
Government which exceeds the filth of the
Augean stables. Yes, there is where the shoe
pinches ; and with their reform platform, and
with Tilden, their reforming President, after
they shall have elected him, the Dcmoeratic
party are determined to clean out corruptions
and abuses from high places, expel the dis
honest scribes and high priests of rotten Re
publicanism. and inaugurate an era of eco
nomical and honest administration, which
will restore peace, plenty and prosperity to
that land so long cursed by the mal-adminis
tralion of the imbecile, corrupt and sectional
Republican party. And so mote it be!
The Indian War.
Chicago, J illy 15.—A special dispatch from
Bismarck to-night says there is no truth what
ever in the report of the massacre of whole
families by the Indians on the Northern Pa
cific Road. Four companies of the Second
Infantry, under Colonel Otis, arrived in Bis
marck this morning. They will proceed up
the Yellowstone about Monday. Two com
panies in addition arc cn route via the Lakes,
and six via the Missouri river from Leaven
worth. The impression prevails at Bismarck
that the military authorities do not yet real
ize the work they have to do. Those In
dians in the hostile camps are believed by
good judges to number at least ten thousand,
and, while there are many women and chil-
dren, nearly all of these are elfectivc in a
campaign. There are certainly 5,000 to
7,000 Indians who can and will fight until
subdued. There is little uneasiness among
citizens east of the Missouri river, though
they, as well as most of the military posts,
are without sufficient protection should the
Indians determine to raid the locality. Two
companies of regulars from the forts about
New York City will leave Chicago for Bis
marck via St. Paul to-morrow morning to re
inforce Gen. Terry. Seventy-one recruits
from Carlisle barracks will also leave to gar
rison Fort Abraham Lincoln and relieve a
portion of the Seventh Cavalry. Gen. Sher
idan says the troops will probably reach Gen.
Terry by the 20th. A Fort Lincoln special
says that Silting Bull and a white man named
Milburn, his chief adviser, have both been
killed.
No fears are now entertained of the safety
of Gen. Crook's command, though nothing
has yet been heard from him.
The Ute Indians, who would like to join
the expedition against the Sioux, arc prevent
ed by a United States Indian Agent.
No man can be found brave enough to
carry dispatches to Gen. Crook—the couriers
being demoralized by the Rosebud massacre.
General Custer and four of the officers
killed with him were insured-under a special
contract for $40,000, which will be promptly
paid.
General Crook’s command is camped on
Goose Creek, and is in excellent fighting
condition.
A special from Sioux city says the Indians
there from the scene of Custer's fight, give
accounts of the barbarous treatment of the
dead. An Indian named Rain-in-thc-Facc
cut out General Custer's heart, put it on a
pole, and had a grand war dance around it.
General Crook writes that he is waiting
reinforcements, and will strike the Sioux a
crushing blow when they arrive. Sitting Bull
outnumbers him three to one.
The agency Indians along the upper Mis
souri, who have received an account of Cus
ter’s fight through some hostile Indians who
took part in it, say that Custer shot three In
dians with his pistol and killed three others
with his saber, when he fell, shot through the
head by Rain-in-the-Face,*’ a chief whom
Custer had forcibly arrested some time ago
for murder. The Indians lost 70 killed,
among them many noted chiefs. The fight
was hand-to-hand. The Indians say they
did not fear the pistols as much as the sabers.
They are nearly out of ammunition and will
not fight again until they get a supply from
the agencies.
Laramie, July 17.—General Crook is still
camped on Goose Creek, and is in excellent
fighting condition. General Merritt arrived
at Rawhide on the 4th to cut off 800 Indians,
said to have left Red Cloud. He expected to
strike the savages next day.
From all that can be gleaned from the dis
patches on the subject and the military move
ments in the premises, it is not at all improb
able that a decisive action will take place at
an early day—if.it has not already occurred.
Capt. J. M. Pace, of Covington, has been
appointed Auditor in the case of the State
vs. Jack Jones, late Treasurer of the State,
who is charged with the fraudulent payment
of the State's bonds to the amount of nearly
$200,000.
House yesterday granted pensions
to General Custer’s wife and to his parents.
The ex-Confederates in Congress heartily
supported the bills, which passed without a
division.
UgpWhcn Grant ordered General Custer to )
the West in order to get the General out of
the way of the investigating committees of
Congress, he little imagined how successfully
he was about to dispose of Custer. The dead
General was a brave and able officer, and his
death will be greatly regretted. —Atlanta Con
