The following is the Platform adopted by the
National Democratic Convention at Now York:
The National Democratic Party, in National
Convention assembled, reposing its trust in the
intelligence, patriotism and discriminating jus
tice ot the people, standing upon the Constitu
tion as the foundation and limitation of the pow
ers of the Government and the guarantee ot 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 me 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 the Constitu
tion, and of civil government to the American
people.
2u. Amnesty for all past political offenses, and
the regulation of tlie elective franchise in lhe
States by the citizens, and the payment of the
public debt of the United States us rapidly as
practicable.
;kl. All money drawn from the people by taxa
tion, except so much us is requisite for the neces
sities of toe Government economically adminis
tered, to bo honestly applied to such payment,
and, where the obligations of the Government
do not expressly state upon their face, or tin: law
under winch they were issued does not provide
that they shall be paid m coin, they ought in
right and justice to be paid in the lawful money
ol' flic 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. One currency for the Government and the
people, tlie laborer and the oflice-lioJdur, the
pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the
bond-holder.
(it H. Economy in the administration of the
Government; the reduction ef the standing army
and navy; the abolishment of the ErecumeiTs
Bureau, and all political instrumentalities de

Read the following facts. In the last six j
weeks the negro troubles have been many and |
in nearly every Southern State. At Millican,
Texas, the riot was on so extended a scale that
it amounted to a local war. 1 be public had j
not ceased to talk of this affair ere the Mobile
negroes tried their hands at breaking the peace
in attempting to seize the street cars and ride
with the whites. The click of the telegraph
conveying this news had just died away when
tlie Macon negroes assaulted, with intent to
murder, two unoffending white citizens and
threatened to burn down houses and residences
in the city. Upon the heels of these occur
rences the blacks in Jones, Fulton and Sumter
counties began their nightly drills, thoroughly
armed and equipped as if for a campaign. The
letter from Houston, copied from, the Macon
Telegraph, tells of a deplorable state of affairs
between the whites and blacks of that locality.
These facts portend something. Either lhe
Northern Radicals, famishing for Southern
riots, are instigating the negroes to these deeds
of lawlessness, with tlie design to provoke re
sistance from the whites and making political
capital out of such action on our part, or the
negroes are naturally impatient of restraint
and disposed to take all differences between
blacks and whites into their ovvd hands, and
summarily override the rights of the whites,
regardless of law or justice. Either the ne
groes or Radicals, or both together, are charg-
able with these outbreaks, and we incline to j aIli ’^'^ ^ 1C
the opinion that the latter supposition, viz: the
Radical leaders are seeking to provoke riots,
and the negroes are more than anxious to be
come their instrument?, is col lect.
The Southern blacks are semi-barbarous,
blindly prejudiced against their white neigh
bors, and by instinct disposed to override law
and protect the evil-doers of their race in tlie
perpetration of crime. Even in Nevvnan the
arrest and trial of a negro, it matters not how
notoriously guilty he may be, will attract to
the Court-house hundreds of his race. The
black spectators on such occasions seem moved
by an earnest desire for the acquittal ot the
prisoner, and lrovvn even though a guilty black
is convicted.
Now, under these circumstances, what is the j
manifest duty of the whites / Evidently it is,
to bk iti:adv fur the approaching day <>f trouble.
The Kartlcals have willing tools, and both com
bined will not fail t,, provoke outbreaks. With

The assertion of American nationality, which ;
shall command the respect of foreign powers, |
furnish an example aud 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 them
for alleged crime committed beyond their juris
diction.
In demanding these measures and reforms, we
arraign ’the Radical party for the disregard of
right, and the unparalleled oppression and tyran
ny which have marked its career.
'After the most solemn and unanimous pledge
of both Houses of Congress to prosecute tne w ar
exclusively for the maintenance of the govern
ment and*the preservation of the Union under
the Constitution, it bus repeatedly violated that
must sacred pledge under which was rallied that
noble volunteer army which carried our ring to
victory.
Instead of restoring the Union, it has, so far
as was in its power, dissolved it, and subjected
ten States in a t ne of profound peace to military
despotism and i gvo supremacy.
It has nullitie me right of trial by jury.
It lias abolished the writ of habeas corpus—
that most sacred writ of liberty.
It has overthrown the freedom of speech and
cessity ; but it being inevitable no wise man !
should fail to be ready.
We cannot close this article without seeking i
i
to impress upon the minds of our white readers |
the extreme pnpriety of avoiding difficulties, and
attempting to have law, justice and reason for
all they do. The Radicals would pay millions i
for a Southern riot just now, and we must j
seek to avoid them ; and the only way to ac- j
complish this is to let the negroes know you
are prepared. Don't strike until forced, and
then strike with till the power ami skill God
has given you.
We feel slmeked as we write such warning aud
advice to the whites ■ >f tiie South, but before
God the Radical party has made it necessary.
We charge home upon them all riots, distur
bances and blood occurring or shed in the
South, and they will be held accountable there
