Tha Platform of the Democratic Part;,
in the Coming election.
The hero ns nr posed by tb* New
Tcrk World kO be ir eorporate'i in the
platform o/ principle* to he adopted
by the New Y:ok Convention,aie re
ceiving a -severecriiiciam at the liur.d
of tho ablest of tbe Coi aerial,ve jo,ir
ral*. The World holdiyavo«ra the ru
ccaaity of yieldingaome hing of prin
ciple toaebi ve the ROecera . the pat
ty, and for theporpose of aee ni g tin
negro vote of the 8 uth, of r- eogn zing
the present negro coKetimtioiin. J
propo-ea that I he Contention anall ret.
ognize negro anffrugein tbeSoutu upot
the grenod that it ia alte Ay e*tab-
Jiohed hv law, and has neon raono-.il,
if- be forniation of tb> pr. nt cm an
totiona. It baa been admitted that
the law* under which tbia right Ima
b ien exercised, ore illegal aid m.co -
atif 0..;,!, but it is now ~r vely |.,u
poer Jto i: In- the Demi,era l it; pony
an sc: ■•cry to this great crime
against the Constitution and the right*
of the tub, by recognizing and en
dorfcii g it us an e*tabli*hed tact
Wbal hie but a base abandonment
of wh». -/ei is distinctive in >be pi in
ciplos c -bo party, and going over
body and soul to the enemy. To ae
cuiotbo negro vo'e ilie party is to
recognize an Africanized South; to bu
itailical in all else than the name.
If there is any diff rente, says tho
Intelligencer, between the platform ot
the radical party and that of tho
World, It is certainly not enough to
ethe country for in a Pre-idea,
t'al cunvasa. If -Radical ideas, doc
trines, and acta aro to be earned out
in the Govern merit, then it is simply
fair that tho wotk should be com mi .
ted .O It-.publican harufs THe position
ol tb j World i.itnflt the inane of negro
inffittge in the South i« to be deter
mined, not by tho Constitution or tho
winbeaof tlio white population, hut by
tho logroizod govern imvi* them
•eleea, controlled by negroes, and
slnmkiet* by mst-oatba binding the vo.
tor to swear to.*crept negro Suffrage.
Outside of the. manhinery set up b
the bayonet aad aide! hj’ f, autj, says
the World, tho whites must not look,
and therefore the case is compared to
the extension of the ballot to while
voters in England who are tax-par er«.
"Wo imagine tho Souther,i people
would much prefer honest and nutspo.
kori Radicalism to such jeering mock
ery as this; but wn proceed. The con
clusion of tbo World therefore, is thut
negro suffrage is a fixed fafit, and that
the South has only two alternative—
one to 'pemuadt' the negroes to ‘vote
against their cwu right to vote/ and
tho Ot.ter io 'porsuade them to use
that for tho advantage of the
•or:, tun'vi-/
'l'he vie-.'a of the World we cannot
believe w .1 mout with any encour
agement at the approaching Conven
tion. They could only have emanu
ted from a journal which has neon re.
peatodly charged with treachery a, and
deceit, and which only recently hud
the importinenoo to road Mr Yulian
dighnm out of tho party. As u set
off, read tho following resolutions of
the Democratic State Convention,
held in Connecticut last we, k, which
have .he ring 0 f tho truu metal:

V sol ed, Tli it while we adliete to the
belief that -ur Union was designed to lie j
perpetual, end therefore incapable of disso- :

to secede, we nevertheless mantain with
renewed x-*l the doctrine of the Constitu

wanton violations of the rights, dignity,
and equality of the States, and if unrebu
ked by the people will lesult in the entire

North as well as in the South, aud leave
In. country in a worse condition than if the
V r„ry of secession had prevailed.
Resolved, That the party which has re
p ia ed the Constitution and the solemn
on;..'- of its numbers to nianiain it—which
has rep'ijis'ci its pledge to the world to
