Tllfi ÜBEIt'AL PLATFORM. The following are the ' resolutions in lull atlop- i ted by the Liberal Republican National Conven- 1 rion at Cincinnati in May,- and endorsed by the Democratic Convention in-July : We. the Liberal Republicans, of the United j States, in National Convention assembled at Liu-, cinnati,.proclaim the following principles as esseh- ; tial to a just government: j Firet—We recognize the equality of all men be- j fore the-law, and hold that it is the duty of the : government, in its dealings with the people to . mete out equal and exact justice to allof what ever nativity, race, color, persuasion, religious or political. Seegnd—We pledge ourselves to maintain the union of these States, emancipation and enfran chisement, and to oppose any reopening of the questions settled by the thirteenth,, fourteenth anil fifteenth amqndmentspf the constitution. | Third—-We demand the immediate and absolute removal of all disabilities imposed on account of the rebellion, which was finally subdued shven years ago. believing that uuiversal amnesty will result in the complete pacification of all sections of the country. I Fourth—Local self-government, with impartial suffrage, will guard the rights of all cituens^more welfare requires the supremacy of the civil over the military .authority, and the freedom of persons •under the protection of the habeas corpus. Y e demand ior the individual the largest liberty con' sistent with public order for the State a self-gov ernment ; and for the nation a return to the meth i ods of peace and the constitutional limitations of power. Fifth—The civil service of the government has become a mere instrument of partisan tyranny and personal ambition, and an object of selfish greed- It is a scandal and reproach upon our free institu tions, and breeds a demoralization' daftgerous to the perpetuity of republican government. We therefore regard a thorough reform of the civil servie’e as one of the most pressing necessities of .the hour; the honesty, capacity and fidelity con stitute the only valid claims to public employment; l that the officers of the government cease to be a | matter of arbitrary, favoritism and patronage, and that public stations become again posts of honor. To this end it is imperatively required that no Fiesident shall be a candidate for re-election. Sixth—We demand a system of federal taxa. tion which shall not unnecessarily interfere with the industry of the people, and which shall shall provide means necessary to pay the expenses of the government,„economically, administered, pen ■ sions, the interest on the public debt, and a mod erate reduction, annually, of the principal thereof, and recognizing that there are in our midst honest, but irreconcilable differences of opinion with re | gard to the respective systems of protection and l free trade, we remit discussion of the subject to j the people in their congressional districts, and to' 1 the decision of Congress thereon, wholly free of executive interference or dictation. Seventh— The public credit must be sacredly maintained, nnd we denounce repudiation in * every form and guise. 1m BAIXBRIDGE OA-,* JULY 27th, ;572. Eighth—A speedy return to specie payments is demanded alike by the highest considerations of commercial morality and honest government. Ninth—We remember with gratitude the hero ism and sacrifice cf the soldiers and sailors of the republic, and no act of ours shall ever detvact from their justly earned fame or the full reward of their patriotism. Tenth—We are opposed to all further grants cf lands to railroads or other corporations. The pub-, lie domain should be held sacred tu actual settlers. Eleventh —We hold that it is the duty of the government, in its intercourse with foreign nations, 1 to cultivate the friendship ot peace - 6 - with all on fair and equal terms, regarding it u:iae dishonorable either to demand what is no« dght or to submit to what is wrong. Twelfth For the promotion and success of these vital principles, and the support of candi date nominated by this convention, we invite and cordially welcome the co-operation of all patriotic ' 'likens ; without re-gasd to previous political affil- 1 Mr. Greeley’s Acceptance. . Nf.w York. May 20,1872. Gentlemen : I have chosen not to acknowledge your letter of the 3d inst. until I could learn how the w.»rk of your convention was received in all parts, of our great country, and judge whether that work was approved and ratified by the mass of our fellow-citizens. Their response has. from day to day, reached me through telegrams, letters, and the comments of journalists independent of official patronage and indifferent to the smiles or frowns of power. Tne number and character of these unconstrained, unpurchased, unsolicited ut terances satisfy me that the movement which*: found expression at Cincinnati has received the j stamp of uublio approval, and been hailed by a j majority of our countrymen as the harbinger of a better day tor the .republic. I do not misinterpret this approval as especially complimentary to myself, nor even to the chival rous and justly esteemed gentleman with whose name 1 thank your convention for associating with mine. I receive and welcome it is a spontaneous and deserved tribute to that admirable platform of principles, wherein your convention so tersely, so lucidly, so forcibly set forth the convictions which impelled and the purposes which guided its course a platform which, casting behind it the wreck and rubbish of worn out contentions and bygone aSpiVtei~ifls Os td-dlff. iiiough thousands stand ready to condemn your every act. hardly a syllable of .criticism or cavil has been aimed at your plat form, of which the. substance may be lairly epi tomized as follows : I. All the political rights, and franchises which have been acquired through our late bloody con vulsions must and shall be guaranteed, maintained, enjoyed, respected evermore. 11. All the political rights and franchises which have been lost through that convulsion should and must be promptly re-estabiishfd, so that there shall be henceforth no proscribed c ass and no dis franchised caste within the limits of our Union, v/iiose long estranged people shall reunite and fra i the broad basis of universal amnesty ; with impartial suffrage. 111. That, subject to our solemn constitutional obligation to maintain the equal rights of all citi zens ; our policy should aim at local self-govern- j • merit, and uot at centralization ; that the civil au-1 thority should be supreme over the military; th,u the writ of habeas corpus should be jealousy up held as the safeguard of personal freedom , that the individual citizen shold enjoy the largest liber ty consistent with public order ; and that there ! shall be no Federal subversion of the internal pol •I ity of the several States and municipalities, but that each shall be left free to enfore the rights and promote the well-being of its inhabitants Ijr 'such means as the judgment of its own p<-opb, j 1 _ti - «crvTi nUO« | IV. There shall be a real and not merely a stinj ! ulated reform in the civil service of the republic ; ; to which end it is indispensable that the chief dis ! pensev of its vast official patronage shall be shield, ed from the main tempration to use his power selfishly by a rule inexorably forbidding and pre cluding his re-Uection, Y. That the raising of revenue, whether by tariff or otherwise, shall be recognized and treated, as the people's immediate business, to be shaped and directed by them through their representa tives in Congress- whose action thereon the Presi dent must neither overruled his vote, attempt to dictate, nor presume to punish, by bestowing oiFce only on those who agree with him, or withdraw ing it from those who do not. VI. That the public lands must be.sacredly re served for occupation and acquisition by cultiva tors. and not recklessly squandered on the projec tors for railroads for which our people have no present need, and the premature construction of which is annually plunging us into deeper and abysses of foreign indebtedness. VII. That the achievement of these grand pur poses of universal beneficence is expected and sought at the hands of .all who approve them, ir respective of past affiliations. VIII. That the public faith must at all hazards be maintained, and the national credit preserved. IX. That the patriotic devotednesa and inesti mable services of our fellow-citizens who, as sol diers or sailors, upheld the flag and maintained the unity of the republic shall ever be gratefully remembered and hocororably requited. These propositions, so.ably and forcibly presented in the platform of your convention, have already fixed the attention and commanded the assent of a large majority of our countrymen, who joyfully adopt them, as I do. as the basis of a true, benefi- j cent national reconstruction—of anew departure FOR THE RIGHT—JUSTICE TO ALL, * rota jealousies, strifes aad hates, which have no longer adequate motive or even plausible pretext, an atmosphere of peace, fraternity and mu ttii good will. In vain do the drill-sergeants of dapayiug organizations flourish menacingly their trdueheons, and angrily insist that the files shall closed and strengthened ; in vain do the whip* Pers ia of parties once vital, because rootsd in the \ ; tal needs of the hour, protest against straying a .J baiting, denouncing men nowise their inferiors and renegades, and threat* n them w ith i ■ """"" ' tiiartWAmer*- 3 eople'have afrealy made your eau-o their ay v iully re; olvt'l that their brave hearts aud strdtig arms shall bear it on to in r ljps faith, and with the distinct understanding i tl at. if elected, I shall be the President not of a y rty, but of the whole people. I accept your J jj urination, in the confident trust that the masses o our countrymen. North and South, are eager to casp hands across the bloody chasm which has jtdo long divided them, forgetting that they have jfrfw®enemies in the joyful consciousness that they tiio and must henceforth remain bretkern. . Yours, Gratefully, I V-- ITorrace Greely. [From the Troy (New York) Press.] A Singular Story. f Some two years ago a young man residing in this city, married one of the fair daughters of Troy. Oud child a little girl, was the issue of the j marriage. Trouble came between the man afld i •wife very soon find about iw j months ago he got a j divorce on the ground of adultery; but the wife : | had the custody of the child. After the separa- j tion the wife took the child and went to living "With another man aud his wife. About three yjeeks ago the husband got possesion of the child, without the wife’s knowledge, and took the little girl out to Rochester to live with his - (the hus band’ aunt.) He remained there with the child. The wife at length learned where the child was se creted and her friends furnished her with money to ! go after her. By mistake she left the cars eight miles | this side of Rochester, and went on foot to that city, wherefrom directions given her she found the ! house where the child was secreted, in the suburbs. j As she came to the house she saw her. husband ! playing in the yard with the child. She ran* for the little giri, and tlnj husband seeing her approach caught up the child and ran. The wife pursued and fain tod three tim-es while in pursuit, the last ™ h*,:j j OO „ o , Some twenty someonfeniuti. ~~~ ';2:“ 111 the pursuit, and He drew a revolver and said he would" one that came near him.. Finally he agreed to take the child back to the house, and did so? the wife accompanying him. Then it was arranged that they should come to Troy together, and bring the child with them. The wife was pleased with tfie ararangemont. On tfie way out, the husband said he would go back and the wife might take the yh >1(1, buthe would not live with her. . lie went out of the car and pretended to leave the train. The loving wife therefore fainted again. By and by the husband, who had only gone into a rear car, caipe in and another courtship began. They arrived here in due time, aud last Thursday they W'ere married, and now are as happy as two turtle doves. [From the Chicago Advance.] A Minister who Protests against too Much Pay. I protest against such representations of the work of the ministry as call forth the cominisera tidk of worldly men. This shady side literature is an abomination. If a man wants- bread and butter let him earn it, If the ministry does not pay, do something that will pay, if the pay is what you want, but don't go begging at the rich man's door while you are heir of all Things. Let us rath er teach men that our kingdom is not of this world. Oh that ministers knew what this means, “Seek ve first the kingdom of God and his righG eousuess and all these things shall be added unto vou.” Let us say, “I seek not yours but you." 1 I I know some ministers«are pear. So much are they like the Master who haduiot where to Jay his Lead. I read somewhere, too, about ‘suffering with i Christ” God knows our poverty ; we not tell others how poor we are, that God may know it There is a great difference between being poor and ! begging. The poor man trusts, the beggars beg. | A false,impression has gone out in regard to miu- I Ist. rs. If a parish wants a good minister, the un derstanding seems to be that they must pay nim a large salary, and the mans virtue is measured oy the gold that goes into his pocket. But. alas, | how the priest s garments are draggled in the 1 ditch. Raising my salary won't make a good n in- J ister out of me. nor fit me for glory. V. lien God : wants to make saints out of ministers he flings ! them into his crucible. Such was I’ayson s expe rience. My trouble is lest lam having my good things here. Wives who are not Wives. There are sad sights and plenty to bs seen at any time nnder the sun, but none sadder, I think, than that of a virtuous wife undergoing the neglect of an alienated husband. Such sights are not at all rare. Any one who uses his eyes, in whatever so ciety he moves, high middle or low, will find them painfully frequent. There are many happy marriages—marriages indeed —over which love rules royally and abso lutely until death forces the first and final separation. There are marriages in which a man a id wife share a mi red experience iff srmpathy and antipathy, ot like and d*.-?- like, indifference and ardor, but, as hap-, piness goes in life, run through comfortabi) enough to the end. There are marriages, too, which aro wrecked by the wife being silly or bad, or the husband vile or brutal*. Tho world knows of the cases ; they got paraded in tho newspapers, and end with explosions in divorce courts. But besides all these, there aro thousands of marriages which are such only in name —thousands of wives which are not wives I cannot imagine anything more dreadful than the fiituaiioiiioF when she has discovered that somehow and with no fau[t on her part which affec j tion should not overlook, she has lost and | cannot regain tho love of her husband. She ! loved him f«>m the. first so exclusively ; she gave herself, all she was, and all she hoped to be, so unreservedly to him at the altar, and has since sheltered herself in herself in him so completely that when tho all sup porting stay of his love is withdrawn, she has no refuge left this side of heaven. She js so helpless in the matteY Bh© wonders over and over again wliv the charms of her love, so potent o.ice, is so unavailing now. She racks her memory to find what offence she has given. She devises lures to win him back. She trusts her goodness, truth and love and patience‘will at last avail, and he will penitently return home more loving than ever. She shows a bravo and smiling face to the world, makes no complaint, ut ters no cry, ami goc3 on dying, quietly bleeding at the heart. Who does not know one or more such instances ? Ido not see what can - be done about them. No law made already, or to be made when women casts their ballots ; will reach the cases. No possible avenue of escape can be easy to such a wife. She can go away from her husband, but not from misery he has caused her. Where in - all tho world, is'solace for the unrequited affec- derided, despised, trampled under root ? ’ . There is another road, steep.of descent and ending in infamy, but no wife 'whoever ■loved her husband enough to suffer when he withdrew his affection from her, enters *&*■&**#,'*,. ~.. j. who, having won the love of a woman-, wmr made her li-is own honorable in marriage, permits himself to become indifferent, then neglectful, thou harsh and hard, and taking care to commit no offense which the law | cannot punish or society-can frown upon, persistently poisons her life anjd destroys her happiness ? Just this : He is a cow -1 ardly tyrant destitute of 'generosity, hon or and chivalry manhood. A little Judicious Praise. No heart is insensible to words of praise or the kindly smile of approbation, and none are utterly above being affected by censure or blame. ••Children are particu larly sensitive in this respect. Nothing can discourage a child more than a spirit of incessant 'fault-finding; and perhaps nothing can exert a more banoful influence upon both parent and child. If your little one, thnrugh the day, has been pleasant and obedient, and you say to him, “My son, you have been good to-day,' and it makes me very happy;” and if, with more than* a usually affectionate embrace, you say, “Good night, my dear child,’ a throb of suppressed"feeling fills his breast, and be resolves on always earning such approval. If'your grown son or daughter have accom plished some difficult piece of work, render ing you essential assistance: or hate climbed some steep in the daily drill of study; or have acquired some new accomplishment, or added grace; or, better than all, have gained the victory over some bad habit or besetting sin—acknowledge it, see it, praise them for it—Let them see by your added tenderness, the deep joy and comfort it gives you. Thus you will create a groat incentive to right conduct, and lay a broad foundation for a character which shall be redolent with succulent fruit and fragrant blossoms. —Ternplars Magazine. Rev. R. W. Bigham, pastor of the Meth odist Church in Newnar, on Sunday 6th, in one of his sermons, declared from tho pul pit that he had been permitted to see his sainted wife, who died in June, to visit and commune with her on two distinct oc casions, once at night and once in the day. He declared that on a certain night, after her death, about the same hour erf the night on which 3he had entered heaven, ho \,..3 awakened by music sweeter than earth can know; that ho was fully aroused, with every power of his mind in full operation, and, in fact, could see his wife and hear nd understand her words as distinctly as the congregation could his, Mr. Bigham added, I know I am neither insane nor superstitions, and yet I would „as soon doubt my own existence as the truth and reality of what I have told you. The above facts wo learn from the New nan Herald. WARNING TO SOUTHERN MEN. Now that the presidents campaign has begun in earnest, we Bhall hear from tho States frequent riunors of disor oers and Ku -Ivlux outrages. These rumors will not be so frequent ns they would have been had Congress adopted the President’s pet scheme of buying up the telegrnph linos, and putting them under tho manage ment of the Post Office Department; but. even in private hands tho telegraph is no; infallible; operators and reporters aro sub jected to liko passions with other men; and the desire for a startling item which is con stant in tho reporter’s bosom, will help the manufactors-of spurious news. Dor months .past the common* testimony ■ of all has declared tiro South* ns peaceful as Massachusetts. The ku-klux organization is knojvn to have been absolutely abandon ed. The South, wo know, yearns for peace and Southern men arc doing all in their mower to secure it.- On all accounts we welcome the purpose and tho prntice. Hut do they realizo how important it is that they should be on their guard, and conduct themselves during the canvas with uncom mon prudence ? Thcro will not- bo Want ing base persons, ready and eager -to in fhvmo the old wonnds, to bring on collisions between blacks and whites, or between Republicans aud Democrats, qnd they may be certain that from now till next Novem ber every- affair of fistcuffs. in any Southern State will bo managed by the Grant papers into a new* rebellion, and every murder or wounding made to appear to tho Northern public as anothor Ku-lvlifx outrage. If a negro laboror is discharged, soirid. one will be found to represent this as- a proscription for principle's sake, and wo dd not doubt that before 3 wooks are over,-tho Grant press will teem’ daily with reports of innTvWrgp T\ ti-TClht assassinations, and a the vnitiVi.- . - |, and lawlessness in the South. Thelrntfi is, a good, square, atrocious piece of law lessness and violence in tho South would just now boa god-send to the Grant party. If they could prove, within the next Two months, that half a dozen negroes had been burned at the stako at Alabama; and that a number of white women and children had attended tho incremation, and waved Confederate flags over the flaiqes, Grant’s fuglemen would at once “thank God, • and take courage.” They are just now a little! blue and disheartened; aqd. stand badly in need of something of this kind, for they j have no argument to offer.. We trust Southern Democrats will givo no Occasion for evil reports. It is thpir du- ■ tv, as citizens of a free country, and as the more influential citizens of their States, not merely to keep the peace themselves, but to see that it is kept. They have a right freeley to vote themselves, and it is their duty to see that their opponents freeley'ex ercise the same right. They have ft right peacefully to discuss the political at issue in the campaign ; and wo cannot but believe that they can present to their own people so forcible a case as to carry with them the greater part of the indepen dent voters of their States. But their op ponents have the same right of peaceable discussion ; and wherever rowdies or evil disposed persons may attempt to interfere with this right, Southern Democrats ought to be the first and tho most conspicious id interpose their protecting arm. There is but one thing, as we believe, and as many of tho Grant managers believe, j that can re-elect Grant; and that is anew outbreak of violence in the Southern States oi what would answer the same purpose, such plausible false reports of violence in the South as would thorougly alarm the Northern mind. The Grant leaders and managers are everywhere talking about j “the rebellion.” That is their principal I stock-in-trade. They appeal to the ‘Union i sentiment.” They curry favor with the “Union soldiers” as though these had not, seven years ago, become citizens; they are doing their worst to preach up a now cru sade against the South. It belongs to (he Southern Democrats to defeat this atrocious and unpatriotic plot; and the way to do it is to maintain—as they can—even better order in the Sonth than is observed in the North. And for the rest, when a lie is re ported, let it be at once fully and authori tatively proved to be a lie. That can and ought to be done. —New York Tribune; IN ADVANCE. NO C.
