Mr. Editor: —ln looking over your
exchanges, we find the following from
the New York Journal of Commerce t
‘•The Democratic party is a great party ;
not disintegrated, as many represent it;
not eveu divided in its ranks, as many fund
ly believe. It reoresents to-day, at the
ieast estimate, nearly a full halt nt the vot
ing population of the country. Bnt it has
no leaders whom it trusts. Its assumed
guides have ao led, it astray. haVfe been so
selfish and wrong-headed, have become ao
corrupt, that it will not move forward or
make any concerted action at their bidding
The members dl this organisation to-day
*.! e O'* independent body of voters in the
intryt Thv} rf' not ’rust to any leaders,
not because they arc greatly divided in
opinion as to the right, but because the
men who clamor for their flowing have
gone foolishly astray, aod often misled or
betrayed them. The real strength of the
party is very likely to be represented by a
minority at Baltimore. ”
This is certainly verj r Compliment
ary to the Democratic party but it
bears very hard on the leaders of that
party. It is the easiest thing immag
inable to make assertions, yet, it is
another thing to prove such assertions
true. The time has however arrived
when it becomes all lovers of Consti*
tutional liberty to look the present
political situation squarely in the face.
This is no time for blundering—an
error in this campaign and all is lost.
It is generally admitted hv all candid
men that the error the Democrats
made in placing two candidates be
fore the public in 1860 led to the
election of Lincoln, which election
was followed by five years of bloody
civil war in which not less than one
million of Americans lost their lives
and a debt of several billions of dol
lars is left still hanging over the heads
of the people. It is also generally
admitted that if the leaders of the
Democratic party had made a wise
selection in 1868, that they could
have elected their candidate. Hav
ing erred in making a selection of men
for the office of President and Vice-
President, it enabled the Radicals to
elect Grant in whose administration
nearly every feature of our former
republican government has disappear
ed. Four years more of such rule
and every feature of republican prin
ciples will be lost. The people
stard this, hence it is that they are
cautious as to whom they shall com
mit the lead of their party. Having
witnessed two disastrous blunders and
experienced the awful consequences
of such errors, they are naturally
very cautious a3 to whom they are to
appoint to lead them out of the wildo
erness. Any man of common sense
who has kept posted in regard to the
sentiments of the great bulk of the
American people must see that more
than two thirds of the people of this
country, North, South, East and
West favor reform and a return to
a constitutional administration of the
laws of the government. And if it
was possible to get at a fair expres
sion of the wishes of the people, they
would elect a reform ticket. They
will certainly do this unless politicians
lead them astray. It is only the bond
holders, office holders, monopolist,
speculators and heavy capitalists who
wish a continuation of the Grant rule.
Hear what Gen. Roger A. Pryor has
to say of August Belmont. Gen. P.
says: “Belmont’s opposition to the
ratification of the Cincinnati nomina
tions, grows out of tho fact that Mr.
Belmont belongs to the ‘Syndicate,’
has large dealings with the Treasury
Departmet, is on the best (financially)
terms with the Administration, and
secretly wants such acti n at Balti
more as will secure Grant’s re-elec
tion.; ’
Belmont is chairman of the Nation
al Democratic Convention. If this ]
charge is true of Gen. Pryor's, it is
truly unfortunate for the country that
this man should be placed at the head
of the Democratic Committee. Let
the people investigate these matters
and while they should be a unit in
their actions let them see that they
select men of sound judgement, and j
good characters to be their standard
bearers. Keeping constantly in view
that if the reform party fails in this
campaign, that in all probability ) it
will be the last time that they will
ever have an opportunity of voting
for a president. CITIZEN.
Platform ofthr Pliilatlrlphta C onvent ion
T he Republican party of the United
States, assembled in National Con
vention in the city of Philadelphia,
on the sth and 6th days of June,
1872, again declares its faith, appeals
to its history, and announces its posi
tion upon the questions before the
country.
1. During eleven years of suprem
acy it has accepted with grand courage
the solemn duties of the times. It
suppressed a gigantic rebellion, eman
cipated four millions ofslaves, decreed
the equal citizenship of all, and es
tablished universal suffrage, exhibit
ing unparalelled magnanimity; it
criminally punished no man for polit
ical offences and warmly welcomed
all who proved loyalty by obeying
the laws and dealing justly with their
neighbors; it has steadily decreased
with a firm hand the resultant disor
ders of a great war and initiatad a
wise and humane policy towards the
Indians; the Pacific Railroad and
similar vast enterprises have been
generally aided and successfully con
ducted; the public lands freely given
to actual settlers; immigration pro
tected and encouraged and a full
acknowledgment of the naturalized
citizen’s rights secured from European
powers ; a uniform national currency
has been provided ; repudiation frown
ed down, the national credit sustained
under the most extraordinary burdens,
and new bonds negotiated at lower
.rates; the revenues have been carefully
collected and honestly applied ; drs
pite the annual large reductions of
the rate of taxation, the public debt
has been reduced during General
Grant’s Presidency at the rate of
§100,000,000 a year; great financial
crises have bsen apparent, and peace
and plenty prevail throughout the
land; menacing foreign difficulties
have been peacefully compassed, and
the honor and power of the nation
kept in high respect throughout the
world. This glorious record of tho
past is the party's Dost pledge for the
future. We believe the people will
not intrust the government to any
party or combination of men com
posed chiefly of those who resisted
every step of this beneficial progress.
2. Complete liberty and exact
equality in the enjoyment of all civil,
political and public rights should bc
established and effectually maintained
throughout the Union by efficient and
appropriate State and Federal legis
lations. Neither the law nor its ad
ministration should animate any de
scrimination in respect ot citizens by
reason of race, creed, color or prevL
ous condition of servitude.
3. The recent amendments t} the
National Constitution should be
dially sustained because they are
right, not merely tolerated because
they are law, and should be carried
out according to their spirit by ap -
propriate legislation, the enforcement
of which can safely be entrusted only
to the party that secure those amend
ments
4. The national government should
seeK to maintain honorable peace
with all nations protecting its citizens
everywhere, and sympathizing with
all people who strive for greater
liberty.
5. Any system of the civil service
under which the subordinate positons
of the government are oonsiderd re
wards for mere party zeal, is fatally
demoralizing, and v/e therefore favor
a reform of the system by laws which
shall abolish the evils of patronage
and make honesty, efficiency and
fidelity the essential qualifications for
dublic position with practically read
ing a life of office.
6. We are opposed to further
grants of the public lands to corpora
tions and monopolies, and demand
that the national domain be set apart
for free homes for the people.
7. The annual revenue, after pay
ing the current debt, should lurni»h
a material balance for the reduction
of the principal and the revenue, ex
cept so much as may be derived from
a tax upon tobacco and liquors be
raised by duties upon importation,
the duties of which shall be so adjust
ed as to aid in securing remunerative
wages to labor, and promote the in
dustry, prosperity and growth of the
whole country.
8. We hold undying honor to the
soldiers and sailors whose valor saved
the Union; their pensions are a sacred
debt of the nation, and the widows
and orphans of those who died for
their country are entitled to th 6 care
of such additional legislation as will ,
extend the bounty of the government
to all our soldiers and sailors who
were honorably discharged and who,
j in the time of duty, became disabled,
■ without regard to the length of ser
-1 vice or the cause of such discharge.
9. The doctrine of Great Britain
[ an Mother European powers concern
ing allegiance* once a subject always
a subject, having at least, through the
the efforts of the Republican party,
been abandoned, and the American
idea of the individuals right to trans
fer allegiance having been accepted
by European nations it is the duty of
our government to guard with jeal
ous care the rights of adopted c?ti>
zens against the assumption of unau
thorized claims by their former gov
ernments, and wo urge continued
careful encouragement and protection
of voluntary immigration.
Political Electing*.
At a meeting of the Democrats of
Pike county last week, a straight out
l ticket was favored. The delegates
were instructed to vote for such dele
gates as would vote for true and tried
democrats in the Presidential race.
At a Democratic meeting in Stew
art county, on the 4th inst., unbound
ed confidence was felt in the wisdom
and patriotism of-the Baltimore Con
vention, ond resolutions were passed
to aWait inaction and abide thereby.
The meeting stamped its hearty
approbation on the conduct ard
course of Governor Smith, and rec
ommended his re-election.
The Do Kalb county Democracy
aTI vises the party to support the Gree>
ley ticket.
Troup county desires that the Fed
eral Government may he administer
ed according to the requirements of
the constitution ; thinks that the
contest of 1872, is one of Liberty and
Popular Rights against tyranny and
centralism; the supremacy of the civil
over the military authority ; instructs
her delegates to vote for men of sterl
ing integrity, to whom the welfaro of
the county can be entrusted and finds
anew reason to endorse Governor
Smith, in his upholding the civil au
thority of our Commonwealth over
the military. The Reporter thinks
two or three hundred democrats will
not vote, if the race is between Gree
ley and Grant.
Brooks county can aid in the elec
tion of Greely uuder no contingency.
*Teliaferro, Pierce, Hancock, Mc-
Duffie, Chattahoochie and Clark, all
held anti-Greely meetings.
The Petersburg Progress, thus
councils all on the importance of uni
ty in our ranks. Tliorc is nothing
more essential than unity in the dem
ocratic party :
“There is an essential; it is unity.
The opposition must form and charge
together, else Grant will surely bo
elected. Never let us acknowledge
that we will force dissension by put
ting forth an ultimatum. The mass
of those with whom we have to deal
are friends ; allowances must be made
for their surroundings and associa
tions. Even were not this so, the
red flag is not the proper muzzle for
the bull’s face Acrimony may be ex
cused when displayed towards an in
veterate enemy iri politics; but mis
taken and well meaning arc like flies
molasses (which is a Southern
product)—will catch more than vine
gar will. Thus far as to national
mutters. Now, locally, we must have
no division at the South. Let asper
ities be saved for our real opponents.
Let us rely on the persuasion that
might have won us, not on the force
which has repelled us. Virginia must
keep Radicalism in subjection, and
must vote against Grant. But let
none of us say or do anything that
shall preclude us from rallying under
a common standard when the councils
are ended, the batons distributed, the
orders issued, and the battle begun,
‘•lt i» better to figLtfor the good
Than to rail at the ill."
The Pennsylvania State Democrat
ic Convention, which met at Reading
Thursday, nominated ex-Senator
Buckalew for Governor, an 1 by a
subsequent vote, made the nomina
tion unanimous. The prespeets are
that with such a candidate the Dem
ocrats will rescue the State from the
Radicals, who have had control of it
so long. The campaign opens well ;
f:r the nomination of General Hart
rauft as the Republican candidate
lias been denounced and repudiated
by many of the best and most influ
ential members of his own party.
Under these circumstances the elec
tion of Mr. Buckalew can scarcely
be regarded as a matter of doubt.—
