The Platiorn of the Democratic Party. We, the delegates of the Demo cralic party of the United Slates, in national convention assembled, do here declare the administra tion of the Federal Government to be in urgent need of immediate reform, do hereby enjoin upon the nominees of this convention, and of the Democratic party in each State, a zealous eil'ort and co-operation to this end, and do hereby appeal to our fellow-citi zens of every form of political conviction to undertake with us this first and most pressing patri otic duty. For the Democracy ol the whole country we do here re affirm our faith in the permanen cy of the Federal Union, and our devotion to the constitution ofthe United States with its amend ments universally accepted as a final settlement of the controyer versies that engendered civil war, and do here record our steadfast confidence in the perpetuity of Republican self government, in absolute acquiescence in the will of the majority. The vital prin ciple of Republics is in the supre macy of ihe civil over the military authority ; in the total separa tion of church and State for the sake, alike of civil and religious freedom; in the equality of all citizens before just laws of their own enactment; in the liberty of individual conduot unvex p d by sumptuary laws ; in the faithful education ot the rising genera tion, that they may preserve, en joy and Transmit these best con ditions of buwaa happiness and hope. We behold the noblest Induct o/ a hundred years ot changeful history, hut while up holding the bond of o,gr Union au.d the great charter of these our rig tits, it behooves a tree people t e practice also that eternal yig i I Once which is the price of liber ty. Reform I s necessary to re build and establish, ip the hearts of the whole people of the Union of eleven years ago, happily res HINESYILI/E, GA., MONDAY. JULY 10. 1876. “There Is JLilfe In the yet.” cued Irora the danger of a cor rupt centralism, which, after in flicting upon ten States the repac ity of carpet-bag tyrannies, has honey combed the officers of the Federal Government itself with incapacity, waste and fraud, in fected Stales and municipalities with the contagion of misrule, and locked fast the prosperity of an industrious people in the paralj’- sis of hard t imes. Reform is nec essary to establish A SOUND CimuESCT, restore the public credit and maintain the national honor. We denounce the failure for all these eleven years to make good the promise of the legal tender notes, which are a changing standard of value in the hands of the people, and the non payment of which is a disregard of the plighted faith of the nation. We denounce Ihe improvidence which in eleven years of peace has taken from the people in Federa4 taxes thirteen times the whole amount of the legal notes and squandered four times this snm in useless expen ses, without accumulating any re serve for their redemption, we de nounce the financial imbecility and immorality of that party which, dining eleven years of peace, hts made no advances to words resumption—that, instead, has obstructed resum pi ion by wasting our resources and ex hausting all our ffnrplns income, and while annually professing to intend a speedy return to specie payments, has annually enacted fresh hindrances thereto. As such a hindrance, we denounce the re sumption clause of the .act of 1875, and we here demand its re peal. We demand a judicious system of preparation by public economies, by official retrench ments, and by wise finance,which shall enable the nation to assure the whole world of its perfect ability and perfect readiness to meet any of i!s promises at the call of the creditor entitled to credit. We believe such a system, well devised, and, above all, en trusted to competent hands for execution, creating at no time an artificial scarcity of currency, and at no time alarming the public mind into a withdrawal of that vaster machinery of credit by which ninety five per cent, of all business transactions are perform ed. A system open, public and inspiring general confidence would, from the day of its adop tion, bring healing on its wings to all our harassed industries and set in motion the wheels of com merce, manufactures and the mechanical arts, restore employ ment to labor, and renew in all its natnral sources the prosperity of the people from necessary re forms in the sum and mode ofFed eyal taxation, to the end that cap ital be set free from distrust and labor lightly burdened. We de nounce the present tariff on near ly four thousand articles as a mas terpiece of injustice, inequality and false pretence. It yields a dwindling, not a yearly thing revenue. It has impoverished many industries to subsidize a few. It prohibits imports that might purchase the products of American labor. It has degrad ed American commerce from the first to the inferior rank upon the high seas. It has cut down the scaleso/ American manufacturers at home and abroad, and deplet ed the returns of American agri icoHure, an industry followed by half our people. J| co.-ts the peo pie five times more ih, n it pro duces t the treasury- it obstructs the process of production and wastes the fruits of labor. It pro motes fraud and fosters smuggling —enrifches dishonest officials and bankrupts honest merchants. We demand that all custom house taxatup shall be only for revenue. Refold is necessary in TUB SCALE Iff PUBLIC EXPENSES, Federal, State and municipal. Our Federal taxation has swollen Irom tixty millions in gold in 1860 to four hundred and fifty millions in currency in 1870 Our aggregate taxation, from one hun dred and eighty-four millions in 1860 t© seven hundred and thirty millions in currency in 1870; or, in one'decade,froin less than five doilarg per head to more than eighteen dollars per head. Since the pecce the people has pain to the f*s gatherers more than thiieejkjie sum of the national debt, pid •more than twice that sun* ft ' tbeJFederal Government alone. IWe d&rnand a vigorous IrngaHty sn every., department, from e ery officer in the govern meet. Reform is necessary to put a stop to the profligate waste of pubbe lands, and their diver sion from actual settlers by the party i power, which has' squan dered twenty millions of acres on railroads alone, and, out ol more titan thrice that aggregate, has disposed of less than a sixth directlfko the tillers of the soil. FOREIGN CITIZENSHIP AND THK COOLIE QfrSTION. Reform is necessary to correct the omissions of the Republican Congress and the errors of our treaties and our diplomacy, which have stripped our fellow-citizens of foreign birth, but of kindred races of the right of re-crossing the Atlantic under the shield of American citizenship, and have exposed our brethren of the Pacif ic coast to the incursion of a race not sprung from the same great parent stock, and in fact, now by law denied citizenship through naturalization as being neither accustomed to the tradrtious of a progressive civilization, nor exer cised in liberty under equal laws. We denounce the policy which thus discards the liberty loving German and tolerates the revival ot the coolie trade in Mongolian women, imported for immoral purposes, and Mongolian men, hired to perform servile labor con tracts; and demand such modifi cation of the treaty with the Chi nese Empire, or such legislation by Congress within a constitution al limitation, as shall prevent further importation or immigra tion of the Mongolian race. Re form is necessary and can never he effected but by making it the controlling issue of the elections, lifting it above the false issues with w hich the office bolding class and the party in power seek to smother it—the false issue with which they would enkindle secta rian strife in respect to public schools, the establishment and support of which belong exclu sively to the several states, and which the Democratic parly has cherished from their foundation, and are resolved to maintain wit b out partiality oar preterenco for any class, sect or creed, and, with out contributing from the treas ury to any-*—the false issue by wtiicb they seek to light anew the dying embers ot sectional bate between kindred peoples once un naturally estranged, but now reu nited in oe indivisible Republic and a common destiny.. we civil service. Reform is necesary ia the civil i service. Experience proves that efficient and economical conduct |Of the government business is not possible if its civil service be subject to change at every elec tion—be a prize fought for at the ballot-box—be a brief reward for party zeal, instead of posts of hon or, assigned for proved competen cy, and held for fidelity in public employ; that the dispensing of should neither be a tax upon the time of all our public men uor the instruments of their ambition. Here, again, profess ions falsified in performance, at test that the party in power can work out no practical and saluta ry re.orm. Reform is necessary even more, in higher grades of the public service—the Pres ident, Vice President, Judges, Senators, Representatives, Cabi net These, and all others in authority are tbe peo ple’s servants. Their offices are not private perquisites. They are public trusts. When the annals of this Republic show the disgrace land censure of a Vice President, a late Speaker of the House of Representatives marketing his ruling as a presiding officer—three Senators profiting secretly by their votes as law makers—the chairmen of leading committees ■of the late House of Representa tives exposed in jobbery—a late Secretary of the Treasury forcing ballauces in the public accounts —a late Attorney General misap propriating the public lunds—a Secretary of the Navy enriched or enriching his friends by percent ages levied off of the profits ol contractors with his department —an ambassador to England cen sured in a dishonorable specula tion—The President’s private sec retary barely escaping conviction on trial for guilty complicity in frauds on the revenue—a Secre tary of War impeached For high crimes and confessed misdemean oas—the demonstration is com plete that the first step in reform must be the people’s choice of honest men from another party, lest the disease of one political organization infect the body poli tic, and thereby, making no change of men or party, we can get no change of measure and no reform. All these abuses, wrongs and crimes are the product of six teen years ascendancy of the Re publicans themselves, but their reformers are voted down in con vension and displaced from the Cabinet. The party's mass of honest voters is powerless to re sist the eighty thousand office holders, its leaders and guides. Reform can only he had by a peaceful civil revolution. We de mand a change of system,a change of administration, a change ol parties that we may have a change of members and of men. When is iron like a bank note ? When it’s forged. When is iron like a stoue thrown into the air ? When it’s oast. When is it like a public house? When it's a bar. When would it do to make sau sages of? When it’s pig-iron, - An American philosopher de scribed a bald-head man as one who combs his head with a towel. We would like to have the handling of that calumniator who isaid the ladies are the very re verse of their mirrors—-l lie latter reflecting without talking, the former talking without reflecting. jwmiTMmxm mw ABVEBtOSUfa BATES 1 Transicai advertisement* SI,OO per square, firs* insertion, 75 cents for each snbsequenk insertion.
