Having dovotod ourselves to tho study of Platforms for somo wooks, wo come to tbo conclusion that man has mado as signal a failure in this direc tion as bo evor lias in the art of gov ernment. And ns wo arc identified, it seems, in tbo public mind with Tatnina- ny llall l)omoerats,.wo fool somo res ponsibility for tbo suocoss of the com ing Convention. Knowing that in the nature of things, man can havo but half an idea, wo fear our Democratic brethren will repeat tbo blunder of Chicago. To save the nation from such a calamity, the woman’s Buffrago association of America present to thorn the following Platform: SUi FBAUE. While legislation lias hitherto aimed to socuro nil men llio employment of the inalienable right of suffrage, nnd ns sox, is tbo most odius and unnatural of nil forms of aristocracy and most dangerous to tlio State, wo dbmnnd the recognition of woman in tho Rocon- struetion, that wealth, virtue, and edu cation may outweigh tlio incoming tldo of pauperism, ignmanco and crimo that threatens our very existence" as n nation. • STATU niOlITS. As this government was formed by a compact between the several States, and tlio leudoney of power whether in t(ie individual or tlio government, is to sclf-aggrandizcmcnt nml usurpation, in case of any diliieulty arising between tlio Stale and Federal governments as to tlio extent, abuse or usurpation of power—while it is tho right and the duty of tlio Federal power to interfere for tlie protection of tlio liberties of all citizens under its Hag—yet the propor Judge ill tlio last resort, would be a convention of all tlio States called to docidu ou the question at issue. nr.CONSTltVCTION.

(.leaslonally somo well know Now York politician drops in nnd oxohangos a few words with thorn, but tbo bulk of tlio talking Is done by tbo now ooinors. In ono of tho,groups last night tbo following con versation occurred: Southern Delegate—What’s the pros pect? No dnnger of split, is thore? Now Yorker—The prospect is capi tal. This light must- bo won, nnd we mean to do our share in winning It. Wostorn Dalognto—Tlio West is go ing to strip olf this time and striko homo. If wo lose, all is up. We must fight to win. - New Yorkor—How about tlio nomi nation ? Western Dologato—Tlint’s all right. The West wants Pendleton, and will stand by him while ho lias a clmnco; but if tlio majority prefer anothor mau, we’ll go for him. Soutlioru Dologato—Will tho West go for Hancock op Hendricks? Western Delogato—Yes, sir; tho West is in tlcnd oarnest, nml will sup port tlio regular ticket, no matter who heads it. Now Yorker—I see Congress is go ing back on tlio Chicago platform on the bond question. Wostorn Dclugntc—Certainly. Pret ty soon you’ll seo them breaking their nocks to see w|io’ll co.mo out first best in tlie race of greenbacks. New Yorker—How does tbo South feel about candidates ? Southern Delegate—Wo lenvo tlint in your bands. All wo ask is that you will give us a map wo can trust. New Yorker—And tlio platform? Southern Delegate—Weil, weexpeot you to treat reconstruction as a nullity. Of course tlio party cannot blink tlint question. Western Dologato—Do you think you Wfi_gt.ro us a lift' in tbo South? Southern Delcgnto—Wo moan to tif pretty hard. But suppose wo arc put down and tho negroes choose Grant men, what will the North do about it ? New Yorker—I think tlicro’U be. a row somewhere.' Wo don't mean to let blacks elect a President over the expressed wtsli of our own people. Southern Delegate—But what will yon do about it? New Yorker—Well, we expect to elect somo Democratic Governors this .year, and if tlie Jackobins try to swindle us out of our President ns they did in ’04, they’ll find tlint they linvo stirred up a pretty big hornet's nest. „.The tlie j O.

INTERNATIONAL BIGHTS. It is tlio duty of the government to protect its citizens, native-born or nat uralized,' in foreign lands, and to de mand tlio immediate release of those now confined in British jails lor no crime committed on its soil. IMJI1UC LANDS. No more of the public lands should bo granted to ally corporation under any pretext whatever. FOL1TICAL ECONOMY. Wo want economy in the appropria tions by Congress, and taxes laid for revenue purposes, to meet tlio necessa ry and proper expenses of tlio govern ment and not to enrich a favored few by class or sectional legislation. Wo need a now American system of finance and political economy, which will relievo American interests from the tyranny of capital. A system Hint compels flve-slxtlis of tlio human fami ly to ceaseless toil for a mere hand-to- mouth subsistence, is clearly fatso and oppressive. SPECIE PAYMENTS. All immediate return to specie pay ments would so dcrauga trndo nnd ooinmoroe, and paralyze tlio wliolo in dustry of tlio country as to make tho payment of the national debt impossi ble, and compel absolute repudiation, Wlillo the West lias not money enough for its business wants, and tlio South no money at nil, tlie National Dobt, created by inflation, can never lie paid by contraction. FINANCE, 1. Government to pay off tlio 5.20 bonds in Legal Tender Notes, nnd tlieso to be funded at the option of tho holder into 3 por cent, convertible bonds, subject to no taxes, 2.

Government to issue currency bonds bearing three per cent, annual interests in exchange for Greenbacks, again roconvcrtiblc into Greenbacks won’t. FearfuL Thought A statistical genius declares that “more is expend ed in tlie United States for cigars than for all tlio common schools iu tlio coun try.” A wag, undmibtedl.y a iovev of tlie weed, seeing the statement going through tlie papers, gets oil' the fol lowing: “It lias been .estimated tlm^ the cost of washing linen that might just as well be worn two days longer, amounts to enough iu this country to more than defray tlio expenses of the American Board of Foreign Missions. Tiic expenses of buttons on the backs of our coats, whore they are of no earthly use, is equal to the support of our orphan asylums. It is estimated tlint tlio value of old boots thrown aside, which might havo been worn at least, a day longer, is more Ilian enough to buy llannel night-gowns for every baby in the land, Also, that tiic cost of every infill on tlie full shirt collars of our young men is equnl to tlio sum necessary to put a Bible in tlio bauds ol' every 1’tttagonian giant.” Bitualibm An advanced young woman of seven or bight summers bad been brought up to go to “ meeting,” and consequently was ignorant of tlie doctrinal significance of tlio terms High Church, Low Church, Broad Church, Ritualism, etc., etc. She liacl been taken by a friend to the Episco pal Church on a Communion Sunday, and on returning homo was asked by her pjipa liosv slio liked the service.— She replied : “ I don’t like to go to a place where a minister lias to change iiis shirt three times during meeting.” At a wedding in Delaware, recently, when nil was arranged, and die minis ter called on any to speak who object ed to the marriage, a husky voice cried out, “ >do." All ores were turned in tlio direction from whence the voice emanated, when an individual emerged from tlie crowd, holding Ids handkerchief up to his eyes, and blubbering. “ Why do you object, my friend ?,” inquired tbo minister. “Becauso I want her myself,” ho replied. Some years ago, a clergyman was pronehing to a largo audience, in a wild part of Illinois, ami announced for his text, ‘In my Father’s liouso are many mansions.’ llo bad scarcely road tlio words, when an old lioosior stood up and said: ‘I tell you folks that's a lie! I know his father well; lie lives fifteen miles from tlio old Kentucky lino, in an old log cabin, and thore ain’t but two rooms in tlio houso, nnd I'll swear to it.’ To dip tlio Mississippi dry with n tea-spoon—twist your lipel into tlio too of your boot—send up fishing hooks witli balloons and fish for stars—get astride a gossamer and olinse a comet —when a rain storm is coining down like tlio entnret of N inguru, remember where you left your umbrella—shock a ilea witli a brickbat—in short, prove everything hitherto considered impos sible to bo possible—but never attempt to coax a woman to say she will when she lias mado up her mind to say she tbo groupsoj in other groups and lyintinne tlie re view of thesituution and tiic prospects. WHAT THE REPBMJCAN8 SAV. Moderate Republicans appear to lie 'nearly as much interested iu tho Con vention as Democrats. During tlio past few days I have heard many of them speculate on what the Convention is likely to do, anil express a hope that tlie nominee vyill be n mail whom nil moderate men can support. Moil who have supported tlie Republican party since 18(11 say they do not wish to vote for Grant, simply becauso liu is unfit for the Presidency. And many sol diers, who still indorso tlio general poh icy of tlie party, nro opposed to tlie election of Grant for tlie same reason. They say lie is a good limn in his place, but tlint lie does not know how to be President. Tlie following conversa tion, which I heard to-day between two Republicans, indicates the general feel- ing of that class : First Rep—Who aro they going to nominate nt Tammany Hall ? Second Rep—I don't know, but I hope they will nominate a man that can draw inodornto votes. First Rep—I hope so. I am tired of this Rndieal policy, and would like to see the party upset. Second Hop—They can’t put worse men in ollice than those now in. Any change would be for the better. First' Rep—What do you think of Grant's chance? Second llop—lie will bo elected if tlio Democrats put up nu extreme man. If they nominate a moderate one they can boat Grant with Ropublieau voles. This is a truo index to conservative feeling in New York.—Correspondent of the Louisville Journal.

A Prediction Fulfilled Tho fol lowing is an extract from a lottcr writ ten in 1806 by Hon. J. H. Ilaramonti, of South Carolina, to Thomas Clark son, Ksq., of England. Tlio predic tion of tlio consequences following tho abolition of slnvery lias boon remark ably verified, and is becoming more so ouery day: Released from tlioir present obliga tions, tbeir first impulse would bo to go somewhere. At first they would seek tbo towns nnd rapidly aeetimulato in Bquallkl groups upon tbeir outskirts. Drivon thence by the armed police force which would immediately spring into existence, they would immediately scatter in all directions. Somo bodies of them might wander to tlio free Slates, or to tlio Western wilderness, marking tlioir tracks by their depre dations and tbeir corpses. Many of them would roam wild in our big tgootls, Mnny more would seek the recfisscs'of our swamps for seouro covort. Fpw very lew of them could -bo prevniloil upon to do a stroko of work; none to labor continuously, wbilo a bead of cattlo, sheep or swino could be found in our ranges, or nu car of corn nod ded in our abandoned fields. Thoso exhausted, our folds and poultry yards, barns, and storehouses would become a prey, “Finally, our scattered dwell ings wodld bo plundered,perhaps burn ed, nndtlie inmates murdered, Negro Demonstration on the “Glorious Fourth ” nt Capital Square. Immediately nftcr tho adjournment of tho Legislature yostortlay, tho white nndblaek Republicans, about two thou sand strong, bad a grand Grant nnd Colfax rally on tho ground ndjnoont to tlio East end of tho Capitol, (City llall.) Tho spenkors’ stand was orna mented with Humorous designs, ban ners, nnd inscriptions, tlio orthography of which last was in somo instances ridiculously amusing. Among others wo observed i “ In Union f/tatV 1b strength;” and another: “ Naturalized citizens muBt bo protected abroad.”— Wo linvo no objection wlintovoi' to tlio sontlmonts embraced in tho foregoing. Onco in tlio.Union—fairly andsqunro- ly in tlio Union, tlioro is no doubt that wo mill Imvo strength, and tlio South will again bo “ a power in tbo land.” While wo beliuvo it neeossary to tlio liatlonallionor tlrntnatnralizcd citizens must bo protected abroad, wo can soe neither justice, honor, magnanimity or oxpodienoy in depriving of tlioir ri’glits under a common constitution nativo born citizens nt bomb.” About one-fifth of the pooplo assem bled on tbo occasion was vvhito—that is, they had white faces. A consider able proportion of tlio colored olemont wore females, who scorned to enjoy tlio thing amazingly. Whenover anything was Bald by tlio spoakors to tloklo tlioir fancy, tbcsu latter would demonstrate tho fact by a waiving of handkerchiefs',, the pocnlinr aroma from which tho fre quent breezes seemed to delight in dis seminating, much to tlio annoyance of sensitive noses. After music by tlio military band provided for the occa sion, tho old party hack, II. P. furrow, whs trotted out upon tho stand by his groom, N. L. Angler. Ho spoke but a Bliort time to tlio cnliglitonod (?) au dience. Next came lion. Joshua Hill. Mr. Hill looked as though ho felt out of place. Ho must have felt so. Wo venture to say that ho nevor before lias addressed just such an andieucc. Ho spoke of tbo day and its associa tions, alluding to the celebration of it thirty years ngo, and touching, as bo went along, on parties nnd party plat forms. Tho latter ho did not approve of, nevor having seen them accomplish, any good results, and seldom adhered to In good faith. They were usually gotten up merely to servo prflscht Jiar- ty purposes.

Tlio Avalaunho says: A frightful deed of blood ivas perpe trated on Col. F. C. Botliol’s plantation on Ten Milo bayou, back of Hopollold, Ark., yesterday forenoon. A man named Thomas Collier, of Ilopofield, quarreled witli young Bethel, a nephew of tlio gentleman above named. The result was tlio shooting of Bethel through tho head and breast with a double-barreled shot gull. The shot in tiic head carried away a largo portion of the skull causing almost instant death. We have obtained no details of the terrible affair. Collier is said to bo a desperado who lias already killed three men.
