PROCLAMATION.
THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The following is the Platform adopted by the
National Democratic Convention at New York:
The National Democratic Party, in National
Convention assembled, reposing its trust in the
intelligence, patriotism and discriminating jus
tice of the people, standing upon the Constitu
tion as the foundation and limitation oi the pow
ers of the Government and the guarantee of the
liberties of the citizen, and recognizing the quo.?
tious of slavery and secession as having been
settled for all time to come by the war or the vol
untary action of the Southern States in Consti
tutional Conventions assembled, and never to be
renewed or rc-agitated, do, with the return ui
peace, demand—
1st. The immediate restoration of ali the States
to their rights in the Union under the Constitu
tion, and of civil government to the American
people.
2<I. Amnesty for all past political offenses, and
the regulation of the elective franchise in the
States by the citizens, and the payment of tin
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 adunms-
torod, to be honestly applied to such payment,
and, where the obligations of the Government
do not expressly state upon their lace, or the law
under which they were issued does uut 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. One currency for the Government and the
people,, the laborer and the office-holder, the
pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the
bond-holder.
(Jth. Economy in the administration oi the
Government; tho reduction of the standing army
and navy; the abolishment of the F reedmen s
Bureau, and all political instrumentalities de
signed to secure negro supremacy; the simplili-
cation of the system and discontinuance of the
inquisitorial boards of assessing and collecting
internal revenue, so that the burden ot taxation
may be equalized and lessened, the credit of the
Government and the currency made good, the
repeal of all enactments for enrolling the State
militia into national forces in time oi peace, and
a tariff for revenue upon fprign imports, and such
t) n ’.111 taxation under the intel'Uitl 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 country. _ , . . ,
7th. The reform of abuses m 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 sw ord
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
libertv, 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
ri‘>ht, and the unparalleled oppression amt tyran
ny which have marked its career.
‘After the most solemn and unanimous pledge
of both Houses of Congress to prosecute the war
exclusively for the maintenance of tlic govern
ment and the preservation of the Union under
the Constitution, it lias repeatedly violated that
must sacred pledge under which was lalhed that
noble volunteer army which carried our Hag to
victory. TT , . ..
Instead of restoring the Union, it has, so tai
ns was in its power, dissolved it, and subjected
ten States in a time of profound peace to military
despotism and negro supremacy.
It has nullified the right of trial by jury.
It has abolished the writ of habeas corpus—
that most sacred writ of liberty.
It has overthrown the freedom of speech and
of the press.
It has substituted arbitrary seizures and ar
rests and military trials and secret starohamber
inquisitions for constitutional tribunals.
It has disregarded in time of peace the right
of the people to be free from search ond seizure.
It has entered the post and telegraph offices,
and even the private rooms of individuals, and
seized their private papers and letters, without
any specification or notice or affidavit, as requir
ed' bv the organic law.
It lias converted the American capitol into a
bastile. , „ . ,
It has established a system of spies and official
espionage to which no constitutional monarchy
of Europe would now dare to resort.
It has abolished the right of appeal in impor
tant constitutional questions to the supreme judi
cial tribunal, and threatens to curtail or destroy
its original jurisdiction, which is irrevocably vest
ed bv the Constitution, while the learned Cliiel
To the Democratic Members of the Leg-;
islature.
The turn things have taken since the assem
bling of the Legislature bus given the Demo
cratic party a majority in the House and lessen- j
ed the Radical majority in the Senate. Hence,
it is in the power of the Democratic majority-
in the House to defeat all reckless and profli
gate legislation. The white citizens of the
State will expect them to do it. A: different
course, extravagant appropriations, unnecessa
ry prolongation of the present session, will dis
satisfy their constituents and result in harm
to the Democratic party, and therefore, the
State of Georgia.
We take the liberty of telling them this, for the
people are becoming restless and clamoi 1<>r the
close of the session, and a cessation of the hea
vy expense of nine dollars per day to each mem
ber. Cut short your work and come home.

THE RADICAL POLICY IN GEORGIA.
The tone of the resolutions, speeches and
presses of the Radical party in this State com
mits that party to an effort to recall the mili
tary, and by the bayonet eject white lucmhcis
from the Legislature and fill theii seats wi,h
negroes. In fact an article in the New Turk
Tribune advising this course is approvingly co
pied by the National Republican, of Augusta.
The idea is that, if the negroes wore ineligible
their votes upon the 14th amendment should
not be counted, and if not counted, the amend
ment was defeated, and il defeated Geoigia has
not complied with the terms ot the reconstruc
tion act. If, however, the negroes were eligi
ble, their votes should have been counted and
Georgia has complied ; yet, Congress should
see to it that the negroes are protected in the
enjoyment of their lights to hold office and to
accomplish this Congress must return the mil
itary and scat the negroes in the Legislature.
This is rich, coining from the Radical party.
It is as amusing as Satan s defending morality,
for the very acts under which they claim rights
for negroes are “ unconstitutional, revolution
ary and void,” and so acknowledged by every
impartial man. For the Radical party to prate
about equal rights is absolutely ridiculous.
The theory of the Democratic party upsets Hie
whole of this Radical reasoning. That theory
is that the negroes were legal members of the
Senate and House until declared ineligible, and
therfore all acts done by them are legal. The
Democracy act upon this theory when they
paid the negroes for the time they served.
But beyond these things lies a terrible and
black fate for Georgians—in fact for all Amer
icans. II Congress can and does decide upon
every act of State Legislatures, and undo such
of them as are displeasing to them, what is
the use of State Legislature ! \Y by not let Con
gress legislate for us ? Congress can undo such
acts only by the military and there will he

The information was corroborated by state
ments made by Robert Cochran, sr., Jiiomas
Jones, and others, who came from the load in
the direction ol Albany, stating that armed ne
groes were assembling in large numbers at Chi
na Grove Church, waiting for the delegation
from Albany, beaded by said Murphy, and
Pierce the candidate for Congress, who were to
be the speakers for the occasion. At the request
ol tlie citizens M. J. Poore, Sheriff, with aCom-
mitte of six other citizens went out to meet
said procession and to protest against armed ne
groes being marched in procession in town,
and to state to them distinctly that if they
would mg d-JWli their arms no objection would
iie made to their entering the town and hold
ing their political meeting. The Sheriffdelived
their message to Murphy and Pierce, the lead
ers of the procession, and they replied that
they had nothing to do with those armed men,
the guns belonged to them and they were in
the habit of carrying them, wherever they went.
The sheriff replied that as a peace officer it was
his duty under the law to forbid the assemblage
of armed men at political meetings, and assur
ed them that if they entered the town with their
music and banners, followed by armed men, as
they were then, that there would be a breach
of the peace, and he would not be responsible
for the consequences.
