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 of the pow-
ors of the Government and the guarantee ol 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 the 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 St ates
to their rights in the Union under the Constitu
tion, and of civil government to tiie 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, exceDt so much as is requisit e for the ncces-
sitios of the Government economically adminis
tered, to be honestly applied to sucli payment,
and, whore the obligations of the Government
do not expressly stafco upon their face, or the law-
under which they were issued does not provide
that they shall be paid in coin, they ought in
right and justice to bo paid in the lawful money
of the United States.
4tli. 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
E ensioner and the soldier, the producer and the
ond-liolder.
6th. Economy in the administration of the
Government; the reduction of the standing army
and navy; the abolishment of the Ereeumen’s
Bureau, and all political instrumentalities de
signed to secure negro supremacy; the simplifi
cation of the system and discontinuance of the
inquisitorial boards of assessing arid collecting
internal revenue, so that the burden of taxation
may be equalized and lessened, tiie credit <>1 the
Government and the currency made good, the
repeal of all enactments for enrolling the fcitate
militia into national forces in time of peace, and
ataritr for revenue upon forign imports, and sucli
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 country.
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 of
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.
8th. Equal rights and protection for naturalized
nud 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 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 the war
exclusively for the nia.ntenance of the govern
ment and the preservation of the Union under
the Constitution, it has repeatedly violated that
must sacred pledge under which was rallied that
uoble volunteer army which carried our flag to
victory.
instead of restoring the Union, it has, so far
as was ip its power, dissolved it, and subjected
ten States in a time of profound peace to military
despotism and negro supremacy.
It lias 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 star-chamber
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 monarch v
of Europe would now dare to resort.
It has abolished the right of appeal in isnpor
rights of the white man Over this hell

As has been our practice since the war.' we among other things they must he told
attended the October Term of Carroll Superior j that “ they must at all hazards pr-serve
Court. The Court opened on Mmlfty of last
week—Judge John S. Bigby presiding. Inas
much as we did not arrive until evening, we
did not hear the charge -to the Gr.-iad Jury,
and hence,, cannot pronounce upon it. In fact,
the business of the Court was so limited, ow
ing to the absence of attorneys, that no impor
tant cases were submitted to the Court and Ju
lies, and therefore, the new' Judge had no op
portunity to display his learning and acquain
tance with the law or duties of his position.
During the sitting of the Court, which, lasted
from Monday until Wednesday, noon, three
negroes, one white man. and one white wo-
man, plead guilty to crimes with which they
were charged, and appropriate sentences pass-
upon them. One negro was sentenced to hard
labor in the Penitentiary, fur the term of one
year, for the crime of Burglary in the day time.
One negro man, named Alliik Alexander, and
a white woman, named Jane Rosser, plead guil
ty to the charge of fornication, and were fined
each fifty dollars, and in default of payment,
will be imprisoned in jail, in separate cells, for
three months. The white woman is the most
debased creature we have ever seen. She made
a full confession, and justified herself by saying
that she did not think she was doing wrong— ;
that she believed she had a right to marry a
negro, and declared sucli marriages were fre
quent in Atlanta. IIis honor, in passing sen
tence, properly characterized her case by de
daring it “ humanity sunk to the bottom.”
.Jane Rosser is tbec.vv.idow of a Confederate sol
dier, and has a daughter sixteen years of age,
who, owing to her mother’s conduct, is forced
to associate with negroes only.
As usual, political excitement runs high in
Carrol). Whatever may he the faults or vir
tues of the people, we believe it is conceeded
that tiie citizens of no county, in Georgia, with
equal mail facilities, are as well informed in
politics as the citizens of Carroll. They not on
ly understand the issues of the day, but, with
all the tact of generals of opposing armies—
know the weak points of their adversaries.
Thus, the Radical candidate for Congress is
odious to the whites of both parties, and the
Republicans know, to defend him from assaults,
and at the same time assail the Hon. Hugh
Buchanan, the popular Democratic candidate,
would be an undertaking that would cause the
overwhelming defeat of their Presidential and
Congressional nominees—and hence are mum
when the name of Caldwell is mentioned. On
the othei hand, the Democrats, well knowing
and appreciating this advantage they enjoy
over their opponents, are seeking, by all the
means in their power, to force a discussion of
Caldwell and Buchanan’s claims. Some of the
Democratic leaders have gone so far as to of
fer five dollars for a white Carroll Caldwell
man, and so far, not one of the Carroll Repub
licans have claimed the reward. We give this
instance as one of many, displaying the
shrewdness with which both parties conduct
the canvass.
It is proper to state in this connection, that
both sides concede Carroll to the Democracy,
by majority' ranging from 200 to 500. We con
versed with numbers of men, who never before
cast a Democratic vote, but aje now openly
and boldly advocating the election of Seymour
and Blair.
If the Congressional election is postponed,
as we believe it is, until February, Buchanan's
majority, in Carroll, will reach eight hundred,
for the best men of the Radical party in Car-
roll dislike and loathe Caldwell and will not
trouble themselves to go to the polls on any
other than the Presidential election day, to
vote for him against Buchanan. The truth is,
Mr Buchanan is immensely popular with both
paities, and the whites of the Radical party
cannot be induced or driven to the polls to vote
against him, uuless on a day of high political
excitement.
Notwithstanding the Carroll stockholders
were not represented in the last annual meet
ing ; still they are deeply interested in tin-
completion of the Savannah, Grifiiu and North
Alabama Railroad. From their zeal we believe
they.would aid its construction, to the utmost
of their ability. They feel greatly in need ol
a load, and this is their only hope.
During out stay at Carrollton the subject of
trade to Nevraau and Atlanta, was fully and
| calamity. Upon his native South, where
; lie was beloved for the many high quali
ties which stamped him as one of nature’s
n -blemen the announcement will fall like
a shadow of deep darkness. In Georgia
j iiis past glory and renown. Abroad
has given a distinctive appreciation
usally attend death from this cause.
The telegram which conveyed the news
of the sudden death of this illustrious
Georgian, has cast a gloom over the en
tire State. Mr. Cobb’s career is too well
known by the people of Giorgia, to re
quire a rehearsal by us. I] is public ser
^ vices have been of such signal benefit to j From his earliest manhood th
the peace, and not bq, restrained by tech ^ the State that he ha-1 endeared himself this Suite loved him with an aruor which
nical points, when,' in their conscientious
judgment under the ruies above set forth,
it is their duty to act.”
The question arises] what are “tcchni-
we~t corner of lot No. 140, in the incorporation
of the tow n of Bowdon. Also, 100 acres of

all in Bow-
c il points ?” Evidently the military of
ficers being the judges, it. is clear what
ever points they see fit to so declare, will
b? technical. In brief the military power
is again supreme. This is the end to
which ‘Tlecou'truction” has brought us.
In this vile work of placing Georgia un
der the heel of military satraps, Buiioek
1ms aided.
In other paragraphs of the same order,
Meade unasked, takes upon himself to
read the white people a lee ure and in
mockery of their weakness concludes with
the declaration that lie too will nut be re
strained by “technical points.” Very
wcdl General, you may insult us with
your advice now and declare your inten
tion, under t he specious pretext of “pre
serving the peace,” of disregarding the
law of Georgia, yet sir, the day maybe
near at hand w hen your heart will be
made to tremble before its moje~ty T and
power
to turn bis rejoicing into weeping.
If however, Grant, Meade and Bullock’s
co conspirator is elected Presideut of the
United States, and these sentiments so
disloyal to the genius of the American
Republic, go unrebuked, the whites of
the Soutli must with courage prepare
to meet the fate of the unhappy Poles.—
But thank God for the fact, that if we
must endure the miseries of Pulaski’s
countrymen, our wicked despoilers must
share the unenviable fate of down trodden
Russians, for despotism can not be limited
to ten States. All the people of this con
tinent must eventually share the same
fate. Let the Radicals in their efforts
to deprive us of our liberties, fill with bay
onets holes the Federal Constitution, and
they will find out when it is too late, that
the torn instrument cannot shelter them
in their day of trial.

j Central Club, through their organization, an
j almost unanimous list of the entire inhabi-
| t ints in favor of our cause. I mention this
particularly because it has heretofore been
considered the stronghold of Radicalism in
Heard.
Radicalism in Heard is almost in the last
stage of‘‘political consumption,” Its form is
■‘emaciated And penitent.” It is confined al
most exclusively to the colored population,
and many of them declare for us. The great
er part of its white adherents are becoming
wearied with its burdens, to say nothing of
its character, and are manifesting a desire to
“ g*'t right.”
Jonh. H. Caldwell has been visiting these
regions, under the pretense of holding nigger
camp-meetings. But we fear not hi-s influence,
for his former followers are becoming convinc
ed that he lias only “stolen the livery of heav
en to serve the devil in.” Your gallant Buc

Our latest news is that all but Indiana,

and claim the State by 1,500 majority,
while the Radicals claim it by 2400. In

Democratic gain of 2. In Ohio the Radi

General Cobb left his home iu Athens
in the latter part of September, accom
panied by Mrs. Cobb and his daughter,
to visit Niagara Fails, and make a short
tour in Canada. He was not in robust
health, having suffered lor smiie time past
from dyspepsia; but nobody supposed
that his ailment was of a serious charact
er.
The information we have as to the man
ner of his death is contained in a few
words, aud is found in a telegram else

irreparable loss by a telegram from Dr.

General Orders, No. 27.
Whereas, by an act of Congress of the Uni
ted States, approved M u ch 2d, 1865, it is made
the duty of the Military authorities to preserve
tiie peace at the polls at any election that may
be held in any of the .States ; and Whereas,
this duty has become the more imperative,
from the existing political excitement iu the
public mind, from the recent organization of
civil government, and from the fact that Con
gress has, by statute prohibited the organiza
tion of military forces in the several States of
this Department, it is, therefore, ordered,
“That the several District commanders will,
as soon as practicable on the receipt of this or
de r , distribute the troops under their commands
as follows :
In the District • f Georgia :
One company i6th Infantry, to Albany.
One company 16th Infantry, to Columbus.
One company 16th Infantry, to Macon.
One company 16rh Infantry, to Augusta.
One company 16th Infantry, to Washington,
(Wilkes county.)
One company 16th Infantry, to Americas.
One Company 16th Infantry, ‘to Thomas-
ville.
One company (C,) 5th cavalry, to Athens.
The company at Savannah to be reinforced,
should occasion require, by such number oi
the men at Fort Pulaski as can bo spared from

Just here, we can assuie our business men
that if the cotton buyers will pay Atlanta pri
ces for cotton, and the planters can buy their
supplies at the prices prevailing in other mar
kets within reach, thousands of dollars will lie
expended here, which have, in the two last
years, been expended in other cities. Every
thing is favorable to an extensive aud paying
trade, this fall and winter, if just and reasona
ble views prevail. We will do all in our power.

“ Detachments, when necessary, may lie
made to points in the vicinity of each pns. ;
but ill no case, nor on any pretext whatever,
will be sent without a commissioned officer,
who will be fully instructed by his post com
mander.
“ The troops will be considered as in tiie
field, and supplied with the necessary camp
equipage ; the men to be furnished with com
mon tents, if practicable, and if not practica
ble, with shelter tents. Commanding officers
are permitted to hire quarters, temporarily,
when it can be done for reasonable rates ; but
this will not preclude the necessity of carrying
tents, as the commands, in all cases, must be
in readiness to move at tbe shortest notice,
with all supplies required for their efficiency.
“ District Commanders will instruct Post
Commanders in their duties, and the relative
position of the civil and military powers. They
will impress on Post Commanders that they
are to act in aid and co-operation, and in su
bordination to the civil authorities ; that they
are to exercise discretion and judgment, unbi
ased by politicai or other prejudices ; that their
object should be exclusively to preserve the
peace and unhold law and order, and they must
be satisfied such is the object of the civil officer
c.iliing on them for aid ; they must in all cases,
where time will permit, apply for instruction
to superior authority, but they must at all haz
ards preserve the peace, and not be restrained
by technical points, when, in their conscien
tious judgment under the rules above set forth,
it is their duty to act. Post Commanders on
being notified of the proposed holding of po
litical meetings, may send an officer, and if
necessary, a detachment, to watch the pro
ceedings and see that the peace is preserved -
“To the people of the several States compos
ing the Department, the Major General Com
manding appeals that they wiil co-operate with
him and the civil authorities in sustaining
law and order, in preserving the peace and in
avoiding the scenes of riot aud bloodshed, and
the wanton destruction of life and property,
which ha< already in some instances, been en
acted in the Department. He urges abrii-
nence from all infiamatory and incendiary ap
peals tr f Che passions; discountenancing the
keeping open of liquor shops on days of politi
cal meetings and of election ; the obstaining
from carrying arms, and asserting the indi
vidual right of construing laws by force of
arms. No just cause is ever advanced by re
sort or violence. Let there be charity and for
bearance among political opponents, whatever
may be the result; let each good citizen deter
mine that all who, under the law, have the
right to the ballot shall exercise it undisturb
ed. If there are disputed points of law, let
them be referred to the Courts, and let not mobs
or political clubs, or other irresponsible bo--
dies, construe and undertake to execute the
law. This appeal is made in the earnest hope
that the M ijor General Commanding can rely
on the good sense and correct judgment of the
mass of the people, and that he will not be
compelled to resort to the exercise of the pow
er with which he is intrusted, and which ha
i will most reluctantly employ. But he thinks
