'flic following is the Platform adopted l>y th< National Democratic Convention at. New York: Seymour, Blair and the Democratic Platform. The Democratic delegates from thirty-seven States assembled in National Convention in New York July 4th. That Convention adopted a platform of political principles which is an improved edition of the Declaration of Indc- | pendence. The sins and wrongs of Radicalism tare portrayed with a force and truthfulness so 'convincing that the hoary sinners of that party are beginning to tiemble and seek safety from i the approaching judgment of an outraged peo- j pic. The principles declared and resolved are ; so manifestly just-that they command the ap- ' proval of all patriots. On this platform the National Democratic ! Convention placed as nominees for President • and Vice President men who endorse the ac- ! tion of the party, and are of acknowledged ability and statesmanship. The delegates dis carded all aspirants and returned in feelings and aclimi to the practice of our fathers when the office sought the man and not the man the. office. Horatio Seymour, in all candor and honesty, time and again refused the use of his name, and at last he was nominated against bis protests and desires. He was truthfully told he did not belong to himself—that his i country demanded his services and he must yield to the national call. Because they oppose paying the rich in gold and the poor in greenbacks. Because they are opposed to the usurpations of Congress and declare the Reconstructi j-.i a< :s null and void and of no effect. Because Seymour is an unrivalled statesman an 1 Blair a determined defender of the Consti tution and an undying opp ser of tyrmts.

J iekets can be l>o void and of no effect. Grant’s asserts the power of Congress over the question of suffrage in the Southern States; Seymour’s denies it. Grant’s favors one curren- for the rich and another for the poor ; Sey mour's demands one currency for all, and so on to the end of the chapter. Grant is no Statesman, Seymour is.
