THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The following is the Platform adopted by the
National Democratic Convention at New York:
The National Democratic Party, in National
Convention assenihh d, reposing its trust in the
intelligence, patriotism and discriminating jus
tice of the people, standing upon the Constitu
tion as the foundation and limitation of the pow
ers of the Government and the guarantee of the
liberties of the citizen, and recognizing the ques
tions of slavery and secession as having been
settled for all time to come by the war or tiie vol
untary action of the Southern States in Consti
tutional Conventions assembled, and never to be
renewed or re-agitated, do, with the return of
peace, demand—
1st. The immediate restoration of all the States
to their rights in the Union under tRo Constitu
tion, and of civil government to lhe American
people.
2d. Amnesty for all past political offenses, and
the regulation of the elective franchise in the
States by the citizens, and the payment of the
public debt of the United States as rapidly as
practicable.
3d. All money drawn from the people by taxa
tion, except so much as is requisite for the neces
sities of the Government economically adminis
tered, to be honestly applied to such payment,
and, where the obligations of the Government
do not expressly state upon their face, or the law
under which they were issued does not provide
that they shall bo paid in coin, they ought in
right and justice to be paid in the lawful money
of the United States.
4th. Equal taxation of every species of prop
erty, according to its real value, including Gov
ernment bonds and other public securities.
5th. Cue currency for the Government and the
people, the laborer and the oilioe-holder, the
pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the
bond-holder.
6th. Economy in the administration of the
Government; the reduction of the standing army
and navy; the abolishmetg of the Erceilmen’s
Bureau, and all political instrumentalities de
signed to secure negro supremacy ; the simplifi
cation of the system anti discontinuance of the
inquisitorial boards of assessing and collecting
internal revenue, so that the burden of taxation
may be equalized and lessened, the credit of the.
Government and tbo currency made good, the
repeal of all enactments for enrolling the State
militia into national forces in time ot peace, and
a tariff for revenue upon forign imports, and such
equal taxation under the internal revenue laws
as will afford incidental protection to domestic
manufactures, and as will, without impairing the
revenue, impose the least burden upon and best
promote and encourage the great industrial in
terests of the opuutry. . i
7th. The reform of abuses in the administra
tion, the expulsion of corrupt men from office,
the abrogation of useless offices, the restoration
of rightful authority to and the independence ot
the Executive and Judiciary Departments of the
Government, the subordination of the military
to the civil power, to the end that the usurpa
tions ol Congress and the despotism of the sword
may cease. , „ , ,
8tli. Equal rights and protection for naturalized
and native-born citizens at home and abroad.—
The assertion of American nationality, which
■ shall command the respect of foreign powers,
furnish an example and encouragement to people
struggling for national integrity, constitutional
liberty, and individual rights, and the mainten
ance of the rights of naturalized citizens against
the absolute doctrines of immutable allegiance
and the claim of foreign powers to punish
Speech of Hon. W. P. Chilton, of Ala.
By invitation, the Hon. W P. Chilton, of Al
abama, who was spending a few days in onr
community, addressed the Democraiic Club of
Coweta on Thursday evening of last week.—
The speaker began by saying it mi^ht seem
strange in those who knew Him in days past
as an old Whig, who fought Democracy for
thirty years, to have on now the Democratic
harness. It is not on good yet, but before
November it will fit snugly. (Cheers.) In
days gone by we talked of banks, but Jnow, in
the name of all that is good, we have National
Banks enough. High tariff men need not j
complain, for the United States debt is so large
that, to pay it, the tariff will be so high that
we shall hear no murmurs on that score. As
to internal improvement by the General Gov
ernment, we surely cannot say the Radical
party has not interferred with internal affairs
to the disgust of all.
But, my countrymen, these issues remind me
of the reply of old friend Meek, foreman of
Judge Kelly’s Grand Jury. Both of these men
were antiquarians, and fond of displaying
their acquaintance with things anoie.it. Judge
Kelly was charging the jury, and in touching
upon the mutations of time, said, “Where is
Cicero? Where is Demosthenes? Where is
Aristides the Just?” Meek could stand this
no longer, and at this point arose and said,
“ May it please your Honor, they tire dead and
he d—d a thousand years ago!” (Laughter.)
Bo] with these issues to which I have re
ferred. They are dead and will not be revived
in our day.
Then iet us drop piejudices about names
and come up to our duty like men. Our coun
try calls for the voice and vote of every man
who loves her and shall we who were Whigs
because onr party was conservative, now stand
aside and refuse still to be conservatives be
cause of name? No, never! Suppose my
wife and children were on hoard a vessel, and
the storm was raging and threatening to en-
gnlph them, and I, alone, was powerless to
rescue them, and a party of men should offer
to assist me; would I stand aside a* d refuse
to join them or let them co-opeiate with me?
No, but on the contrary, thank them fur their
offer and ask them no questions. So with the
Democratic party, who seeing the liberty of
the people, both North and South, and the
Constitution of our fathers endangered, have
resolved to attempt their salvation, and it be
hooves us to unite with them and cheer them
in their noble resolution.
Because the Northern people, in their State
capacities, broke the compact of Union in an
nulling in their limits that clause of the Con
stitution which required the rendition of fugi
tive slaves, the Southern States seceded, not to
destroy the Constitution but to preserve it.—
For the part I took in that movement I have
no pangs of conscience, and feel with up-

IL-re the speaker reviewed at large the abil
ities and qualifications of the opposing candi
dates for the Presidency, and left the impres
sion upon the minds of every impartial hearei
that Seymour was the man for the limes.
In this strain hr continued much longer, to
the great delight of his audience. He was
repeatedly cheered, and liis anecdotes were
so happily told that the meeting was often
convulsed with laughter. After Mr. Chilton
concluded, the meeting quietly dispersed great-
