THE DEMOCRATIC PI.iTI'OKK,
, r .. r . . ... , - .. *
We, the delegates of the Democratic party of
the United States iu National Convention aasern
bled, do hereby declare the administration of
the Federal Government to he in urgent need of
immediate Reform; do hereby enjoin upon the
nominees ofthis Convention, and of the Demo
cratic party in each State, a aealoua effort aud
co-operation to this ©nd; and do hereby appeal to
oar fellow-citterns of ©very former political
connection, to undertake with us this first aud
moat pressing prtrtotic duty.
For the Democracy of the whole country, we
do here reaffirm oar fidth in the permanence of
the Federal Union, ©nr devotion to the Constitu
tion of the United States with its amendments
universally accepted as a final settlement of the
controversies that engendered civil war, and do
hsre record our steadfast confidence in the per
petuity of Republican Self-Government.
In absolute acquiescence in the will of tb© ma
jority—the vital principle of the republic: in the
supremacy of the civil over the military authority;
in the total separation of Church and State, for
the sake alike of civil and religious freedom;
in the equality of all citisens before jnst laws of
their own enactment; in the liberty of individ
ual conduct, unvexed by smnptuary laws; in the
faithful education Of the rising generation, that
they may preserve, enjoy, and transmit these
best conditions of human happiness and hope, we
behold the noblest products of a hundred years
of changeful history; but while upholding the
bond of our Union and great Charter of these
our rights, it behooves a ft*©© people to practise
also that sternal vigilance which U the price of
Liberty.
Rkfob* is necessary to rebuild and establish
in the hearts of the whole people, the Union,
eleven years ago happily rescued from the
danger of a Secession of States; but now to bo
saved from a corrupt Centralism which, after
inflicting upon ten States the rapacity of carpet
bag tyrannies, has honeycombed the offices of
the Federal Government itself with Incapacity,
waste and fraud; infected States (sod municipal
ities with the contagion of misrule, aud locked
fast the prosperity of an industrious people in
the paralysis of ‘Hard Times/
Reform is necessary to establish a sound cur
rency, restore the public credit, and maintain
the national honor.
We denounce the failure for all these eleven
years of peace to make good the promise of the
legal-tender notes, which are a changing stand
ard of value iu the hands of the people, and the
non-payment of which Is a disregard of the
plighted faith of the nation.
We denounce the improvidence which in
eleven years of peace has taken from the people
in Federal taxes thirteen times the whole amount
of the legal-tender notes and squandered four
times their sum in useless expense without ac
cumulating any reserve for their redemption.
We denounce the financial imbecility and im
morality of that party which, during eleven
years of peace, has made no advance toward
resumption, no preparation for resumption, but
instead ha© obstructed resumption, by wasting
our resources and exhausting all our surplus
Income;and, while annually professing to in
tends speedy return to specie payments, has
annually enacted fresh hindrances thereto. As
such a hindrance we denounce the Resumption
day clause of the act of 1875 and demand itß re
peal.
We demand a judicious system of preparation
by public economies, by official retrenchments,
and by wise finance, which shall enable the
nation soon to assure the whole world of its
perfect ability and its perfect readiness to meet
any of its promises at the call of the creditor en
titled to payment.
We believe such a system, well devised, and,
above all, entrutsod to competent hands foi
execution, creating at no time an artificial scar
city of currency and at no time alarming the
public mind into a withdrawal of that/aster
machinery of credit by which 95 per cent, of all
business transactions ate performed,—a system
open, public, and inspiring general confidence,
would from the day of fta adoption bring healing
on its wings to all oar harrsssed industries, set
in motion the wheels of commerce, manufac
tures, and the mechanic arts, restore employ
ment to Isbor, and renew in all its natural
sources the prosperity of the people.
Revokm is necessary in the sum and modes of
Federal Taxation, to the end that capital way
be set free from distrust, and labor lightly bur
dened.
We denounce the present Tariff, levied upon
nearly 4,000 articles, as a masterpiece of injus
tice, in equality, and faMf pretense. It yields a
dwindling, not a yearly rising revenue. It has
impoverished many industries to subsidize a
few. It prohibits imports that might purchase
th products of American labor. It has degraded
American commerce from the first to an inferior
rank on the high seas. It has cut down tho
sales of American manufactures at heme and
abroad, and depleted the returns of American
agriculture—an industry followed by half our
people. It costs tho people five times more
than It produces to tho treasury, obstructs the
processes of production, and wastes the fruits of
labor. It promotes fraud, fosters smuggling,
enriches dishonest officials, snd banrupts honest
merchants. We demand that all the Custom-
House taxation shall be only for Revenue.
Reform is necessary, in the scale of Public
Expense—Federal, State and Municipal. Our
Federal taxation has swolen from 60 millions
gold, in lSflfl, to 460 millions currency, in 1870;
onr aggregate taxation from 1&4 millions gold in
1860, to 730 millions currency in 1370; or in one de
cade, from less than $5 per head to more than
$lB per head. Since the peace, the people have
paid to their tax gatherers more then thrice the
sum of the national debt, and more than twice
that sum for the Federal Government alone. We
demand a religious frugality in every depart
ment, and from every officer of the Government.
Refobm Is necessary to pet s stop to the
profligate waste of public lands and their diver
sion from actual settler* by the party iu power,
which has squandered 200 millions of acres upon
railroads alone, and out of more than thrice that
aggregate has disposed of less than a sixth direct
ly to tillers of the soil.
Reform is necessary to correct the omissions
of a Republican Congress and the errors of our
treaties and our diplomacy winch have stripped
our feHow-citizens of foreign birth and kindred
race r©crossing the Atlantic, of the shield of
American citizenship, and have exposed our
brethren of Uie Pacific coast to the incursions of
a race not sprung from the same great parent
stock, snd iu fact now by law denied citizenship
through nafcurailzation>s being neither accus
tomed to the traditions of a progressive civiliza
tion nor exercised in liberty under equal laws.
We denounce the policy which thus discards the
liberty-loving German and tolerates the revival
of the coolie trade in Mongolian women import
ed for immoral purposes, aud Mongolian men
hired to perform servile labor contracts.
Reform is necessary and <ma never be effected
but by making it the controlling i*sue of the
eieetktfis, and lifting it above the two tele issues
with which the office-bolding class and the party
in poweF seek to *ia©tbr it—-
1. Tho false issue with which they would en
kindle sectarian strife to respect to the public
schools, &t which the establishment and support
belong exclusively to the several States, snd
which tee Democratic party has cherished from
their foundartkWJ, Slid is resolved to maintain
without prejudice ok preference for any class,
sect or creed, and without largesses from the
Treasury to any.
2. The false issue by which they seek to light
anew the dying embers of sectional hate between
kindred people once estranged, but now re
united in one indivisible republic and a common
destiny.
Reform is necessary in the Civil Service. Ex
perience proves that efficient, economical con
duct of the governmental business is not possible
if its civilservice be subject to change at every
election, be a prize fought for at the ballot-box,
be a brief reward of party zeal, instead of posts of
honor assigned for proved competency, snd held
for fidelity in the public employ; that the dis
pensing of patronage should neither be a tax np
on the time of our public men, nor the instru
ment of their ambition. Hercytgain promises
falsified in the performance, sttWt that the party
in power can work out no practical or salutary
reform.
Reform is necessary even more in the higher
grades of the public service. President, Vice-
President, Judges, Senators, Representatives,
Cabinet officers, these and all others in authority
are the people's servants. Their offices are not
a private perquisite; they are a public trust.
When the annals of this Republic show the dis
grace snd censure of a Vice-President; a late
Speaker of the House of Representatives market
ing his rulings ss s presiding officer; three Seu
ators profiting secretly by their votes m law-ma
kers; five chairmen of the leading committees of
the House of Representatives exposed in jobbery;
a late Secretary of the Treasury forcing balances
in the public accounts: a late Attorney-General
misappropriating public funds; a Secretary of
the Navy enriched or enriching friends, by per
centagas levied off the profits of contractors with
hi# department; an Embassador to England cen
sured in a dishonorable speculation; the Presi
dent's Private Secretary barely escaping convic
tion upon trial for guilty complicity in frauds
upon the revenue; a Secretary or War impeached
for high crimes and misdemeanors —the demon
stration is complete, that the first step in Re
form must be the people's choice of honest men
from another party, lest the disease of one po
litical organization infect the body politic, and
lest by making no change of men or parties we
get no change of measures and no real Reform.
All these abuses, wrongs and crimes, the pro
duct of sixteen years’ ascendancy of the Republi
can party, create a necessity for Reform confess
ed by Republicans themselves; but their reform
ers are voted down in convention and displaced
from the Cabinet. The party’s mass of honest
voters is powerless to resist the 80,000 office
holders, its leaders and guides.
Reform can only be had by a peaceful Civil
Revolution. We demand a change of system, a
change of administration, a change of parties,
that we may have a change of measures and of
men,

The following is an extract from a description, published in the Now York Tribune, by the wol
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
All the farmers wore of the “well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wot meadows, iu
which deposit* of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize tho whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certainly one of tho moat extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
of tho oldest farm* apparently juft as profitably productive as whon first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause ofthis continued fertility. Tho whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, ortho tertia
ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, iu a very comminuted
form, and iu the exact condition most easily assimilaiod by such plants as tho farmer desires to
ultivate.

rnriE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1876, WHICH
L include* National, State and county elections,
and which will undoubtedly be the most active
and hotly contested of any since the memorable
canvas# of 1860, is now fairly opened. The Na
tional Democratic Party will this year make a
bold, vigorous, anl doubtless successful strug
gle lor the maintenance and supremacy of those
principles which are vital to the prosperity of
tho Republic and essential to tho well-being of
tho people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the
people iu Georgia and Florida will elect new
State governments. In Florida tho campaign
promises to bo unusually vigorous, and there is
a probability that for the first time since the war
the people of that Radical-ridden State will elect
a Democratic State Government. In these cam
paigns the people of the South are deeply inter
ested; and everv intelligent citizen, who has the
welfare of his country and his section at heart,
should acquaint himself with every detail of the
great work of redemption and reform that is now
going on.
To this end lie *hould subscribe to and assist
in circulating the Savannah Morning; News,
an independent Democratic newspaper, of pro
nounced opinions and fearless in their expres
sion ; a paper that is recognized everywhere as
the best daily in the South. Its editorial de
partment is vigorous, thoughtful and consistent,
while its news and local departments are marvels
of industry and completeness. Its department
of Georgia aud Florida affairs is not confined to a
mere barren summary ot events transpiring in
those States, but is enlivened by comment at
once apt, timely, and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment will
be devoted to furnishing tho readers of the
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence 'rora all parts of the
world, through the press dispatches, special tel
egrams, aud by means of special correspondence;
aud through these agencies the paper will be the
earliest chronicler of every noteworthy incident
of the political campaign of 1876.
