The Philadelphia Convention and Platform. The great Philadelphia Copperhead, "Bread and Butter," rebel Convention

met, "dono its do," and its members gone liofhc. Tho people of Philadelphia, we presume, have been treated to manj' a farce, but never to one gotton up on so huge a scale as this.— It was a meeting of rebel officors, officosoeking politicians without principle or character. Gray coats wero plenty -—bluoones scarce. Atloughfa.ce dirteater from Massachusetts walked into tho convention arm in arm with an unhung traitor from South Carolina.

This created a sensation, and no wonder. A spirit of forgiveness is good. But an attempt to deceive tho public by any such little trick as this, will jiot succeed. Everybody knows it is all hypocrisy—that this same Massachusetts doughface would not bo permitted to live two hours in any city or town in South Carolina where his nativity should bo known. But some men will do most anything for a: good piece of bread well buttered, and each of these gentlemen doubtless had a written promise of ono in his breech-

Tho platform is a bare faced attempt at deception. The principles laid down do not accord with the sentiments of ton men in tho convention* Tako the 5th resolution for instance: "Fifth. The Constitution of the United States and the lawa mado in pursuance thereof, are the supreme laws of the land, any thing in the Constitution or laws of any Stute to the contrary notwithstanding."

Has Aloxander II. Stephens so boon forgotten that ho sworo before the reconstruction committee that ho believed in tho sovereignty of tho State governments and the subordination of tho National government? Jlo swears one way before the committco and reHolves another beforo tho public.— "What for? To dcccivo the people, get power and then use it as he pleases.— And then tho Tth resolve declares that tho enfranchised slaves should bo protected in all the rights of person and property as other citizens. Why not support the law thon, that confers and protects these rights. Democratic platforms are not good authority in court, but tho acts of Congress are.— Put your resolvo on this subject into law, and the people will be satisfied. But this you never mean to do.

Tho platform concedes about everything tho Union party has been contending for—tho civil rights of the Southern Unionists and negroes, the 8acredness of the National debt—the repudiation of the rebel debt—that ioyal men should be admitted to Congress, and by inference that disloyal ones should not. The only trouble is, theso wiro-workers do not propose to put theso principles in a form whero they can bo mado effective—they propose to humbug the people with them, get into power, and that will be tho last of civil rights, tho national debt, tho sovereignty of tho National government, &c., &c. The democrats of Indiana have been making this canvass on the principle of repudiating tho nation's obligation to its bondholders that their bonds should not be taxed. ill they now turn their backs on this, and go with tho Philadelphia convention for the sacredness of tho nation's promises? Wo shall eee. Ihc democratic party has given up its natno and its principles, but the} will not accomplish their ends.— Tho peoplo see their objoct. But four years ago tho Virginia and Kentucky resolutions were the main foundation of tho democratic creed. Now they aro solemnly repudiated, and tho old •while and Republican plank, that the national and not tho State governments

is supreme, is substituted. This is a clear admission that they have been in error or that they are now attempting to deceive. In eithor case they aro not very safe guardians of the interests of the counti« You can't steal our thunder, gentlemen, and use it to any advantage. Men who can so conveniently turn their backs on jirinciples they have advocated for thirty years arc not tho men the people will trust with power. But we are glad to see the heresies of the old democratic party thus clearly and fully renomeed and thrown overboard. It will make tho Union part)- ten-fold stronger than it over was. Its namo, its principles and all are ihrrnvn into tho common receptacle of errors, follies and crimes. Good by, Demoeracy 1 p-

The true policy of the sound men of the country, hntii Yovtii «t»a Buutii, undoubtedly, is to ignore the radicalism of both sections. Let the conservative and moderate men, both North and South come together in a spirit of forbearance and fair compromise, and endeavor to so harmonizo the past elements of discord and give peace, quiet and good-will to a too long distracted country..—Lafayette Journal, August Uth.

the old gentleman will "come together in a spirit of forbearance and fair compromise," and try to reconcile the conflicts between the .difterent

The IVcxt Legislature. We aro glad to see that the Union conventions over the State are putting forward tho best men that can be found for the important position of legislator. Marion county ha9 again nominated Hon. II. C. Newcomb, who has served several terms, and whose ability as a legislator is not surpassed by that of any man in the Stato.

The Union men of Hendricks have put in nomination Leandcr M. Campbell, Esq., an able and successful lawyer, and a first-class financier and business man.

Union convention has

called Addison Daggy to represent that count}*. Mr. Daggy is a man of tho finest business qualificatipns, a sound lawyer, and has tho back bone to stand up for tho right on all occasion0 lib a Legislature full of such men as these, we may hopo for useful and important legislation.

Tlie Boone coanly Convention. In answer to correspondents from various portions of the District relative to lUc oUjcel of tbo Soldiers' convention, to bo hold at Lebanon, on the 28th August, I will say for tho benefit of all. that it is to perfect the organization of a District Association, and to get together as many as possible of the survivors of those who 6tood togclher in the field during tho lato war: and to perpetuate the friendships then formed, and to extend the hand of mutual support to oacli other, and strive to keep alive tho fires cf patriotism that then burned so brightly.

Will

be an independent convention, avoiding any meddling with partisan matters. J- P- WATSON, Cor. Sec.

By order of COMMITTEE.

Premature Joy.

It is good, perhaps, to be jolly, even at tho risk of having our pleasant emotions dampened by subsequent events. Wo may thus experience the pleasure of feeling good, that would not bo realized if the policy of "waiting for tho facts^ were adopted. Wo have an illustration of this in tho case of the election of a delegate from Colorado Terrritory. Two spirited individuals united in sending a dispatch to the President announcing the election of a "my policy" man. This was re-telegraphed to Mr. Doolittle, who read it to tho tear-shedding Philadelphia Convention, and announced tho result as the first fruits of the President's policy It turns out, however, that the .Radical Republican candidato was elected, and what is more, counties hitherto Democratic, gave largo Republican majorities. Thus tbo "first fruits" aro very different from what tho President took them for. Tho October "fruit" will bo of the .--aiite kind.— Cin. Go:.

The Philadelphia ConventionIts Platform. We give below tho platform adopted by tho "Bread-and-Butttor" Convention, which assembled at Philadelphia on the 14th inst. also, a brief synopsis of an address prepared for tho occasion. The resolutions read "First.. We hail with gratitudo to Almighty God the end of the wur and the return of peace to.an. afflicted and beloved land. "Second. The war just closod has maintained the authority of the Constitution, with all the powers wh«ch it confers, and all the restrictions which it imposes upon the General Government, unabridged and unaltered, and it has preserved to the Union the equal rights, dignity and authority of tho States, perfect and unimpaired. "Third. Representation in the Congro cf tho United States, and in the electoral college, is a right, recognized by the Constitution, as abiding in every State, and as a duty imposed upon its people, fundamental in its naturo, and essential to the exercise of our republican institutions, and neither Congress nor the General Government has. any authority or power to deny this right to any, or withhold its enjoyment, under the Constitution, from tho people thorcof. "Fourth. Wo call upon the peoplo of the United States to elect to Con^vccu nono inn men who admit the fundamental right of representation, and who will receive to seats loyal Representatives from every Stato in allegianco to the United States, and submit to tho consideration of each House to judge of the election returns and qualifications of its own members. "Fifth. The Constitution of the United States and the laws thereof, are the supreme law of tho land, anything in tho Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. All tho powers not conferred by tho Constitution upon the gcnoral Government, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or tho people theroof and among tho rights thus rescrvod to the States, is the right to prescribe qualifications for tho elective franchiso, in which right Congress cannot interfere. No Stato or Convention of States, has the right to withdraw from the Union or to exclude, through their action in Congress or othorwiso, any State or States from the "Union. Tho union of these States is perpetual. "Sixth. Amendments to the Constitution of the United States may be made by the peoplo thereof, as they ma}7 deem expedient, but only in the modo pointed out by its resolution, and proposing 6uch amendments, whether by Crmgross or by a Convention, and in ratifying the samo all the States of the Union have an equal and indispensable right to a voico and a vote thereon. '•Seventh. Slavery is abolished and forever prohibited, and thcro is neither a desire nor a purpose, on the part of tho Southern States, that it should be re-established upon the soil or within the jurisdiction of the Uni-

on tlio Uiicllltjwd aluvlJS.

in all the States of tho Union, should receivo, in common with all their inhabitants, equal protection in every right of person and property. "Eighth. While wo regard as utterly invalid, and never to be assumed or made of binding force, any obligation incurred or undertaken in making war against tho United States, we hold the debt of the nation to bo sacred and inviolable, and we proclaim our

discharging

this, as in performing

all other national obligations, to maintain, unimpaired and

uni in peach cd,

the honor and faith of the Republic. "Ninth. It is the duty of tho National Goverment. to recognize tho services of the Federal soldiers and sailors in the contest just closed, by meeting, promptly and fully, all their just and rightful claims for the services they have rendered tho nation, and by extending to thoso of them who have survived, and to the widows and orphans of those who have fallen, tho most generous and considerate care. "Tenth. In Androw Johnson, President of tho United States, who, in his great office, has proved steadfast in his devotion to tho Constitution, the laws and interests of his country, unmoved by persecutions and undeserved reproach, having faith immeasurable in the people and in the principles t)f the Government, we recognize a Chief Magistrate worthy of the nation, and equal to tho great crisis upon which bis lot is cast, and wo tender to him, in the discharge of his high and responsible duties, our profound respect, and assurance of our cordial and sincere support."

TIIF. ADDRESS.

The address was read by Mr. Raymond, b}7 whom it was written, its was also the declaration of principles. Ho was so frequently interrupted by applause that tho Chairman appealed to tho Convention to restrain such manifestations until tho reading of tho address should be concluded.

Tho address contains about S,000 words, and will make not far from four solid columns in tho New York morning papers. It demands tho universal acknowledgment of tho legitimate consequences of tho war, which aro tho perpetual maintenance of the Union and the destruction of slavery.

It asserts next that the Government acquired no now rights or powers by the war that it acted only on the defensive. Congress had passed a resolution that when tho war closed, all tho powers and dignity of the States should remain unimpaired and intact. Tho power? assumed by the Government in tho States since the war closod wero in violation of the Constitution. Tho Constitution declares that no State shall, without its own consent, be deprived of its equal representation in the Senato. Tho action of Congress. denying representation to tho Southern States, appears as great an effort to overthrow tho Government as was that by armed robollion. If ono Congress can exclude on,ono protext, another Congress mayoxcludo other States on another. There is no

warrant for this in tho Constitution.— Not only cannot Representatives be excluded from Congress, but no State, without its own consent, can bo deprived of equal representation in the Senate, even by an amendment of the Constitution.

Tho only pretext for tho action of Congross, is that the States lately' in rebellion have lost their right to representation, which the. supremo Government only can rostoro. But' it is a principle that no right can bo forfeited, nor can tho right or duty of a Stato to bo represented in Congress be impaired b}T rebellion. Only its enjoyment of that privilege can bo obstructed.

The address further asserts that the position of Congress in the matter is not warranted by the Constitution, and is not compatible with the public safety. It is also argued that threefourths of tho loyal Statos cannot change tho fundamental law affecting tho others, and that we havo no right to pass judgment upon the motives of any citizen of the United States when his acts are loyal.

No where aro the laws now obeyed better than in tho States latclj' in rebellion. Tho disturbances that havo occurred were due as much to injudicious political movements as to any purposo hostile to tho Government.— If tho people of tho South show less disposition tban

formerly

to acquiosco

in the new order of affairs, it is bocause Congress has withheld their rights from them. If they felt otherwise they would bo degenerate sons of their sires. No people ever oxisted whoso loyalt}' would not havo been impaired by such treatment. Tho peoplo of tho South would not bo worth}7 to be trusted in tho oxerciso of their rights if they wero willing to submit, to such humiliation. These men acted as they did either from a conviction of right, or they were under compulsion. For this thoy havo suffered tenfold more than those who have remained in allegiance Tho war has swept away slavery, the cause of sectional variance and hostilities, and has revealed and disciplined our power.

The address directs attention to the fact that a now Congross is soon to be elected, andvadds that if the present policy is to be pursued, civil war may be renewed, and calls upon every Congressional District to return only members who aro favorable to the policy of restoration announced by the President.

Proclamation by the President. WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—The Presi dent has issued a proclamation in which ho reiterates the various proclamations issued by his predocessor concerning the existenco of an armed rebellion in opposition to the laws, the suspension of the habeas corpus, the concurrent resolutions of Congress respecting tho object of levj' of troops, the subsequent peace proclamations, and tho proclamation of April 2, I860, and concludes as follows:

WHEREAS, The President in the said proclamation of June 13th, 1865, upon the grounds therein stated and before recited, did then and thereby proclaim the insurrection which heretofore existed in the several States before named, except Texas, was at an end, and was henceforth to be so regarded and

Whereas, subsequently to the said 2d day of April, 1866, the insurrection in the State of Texas has been completely and every where suppressed and ended, and the authority of the United States has been successfully and wholly established in the said State of Texas and now remains therein undisputed and unresisted, and such of the

proper

United States officers as

havo been only commissioned within the limits of tho said Stato aro now in the undisturbed exerciso of their official functions. And whereas the laws can now be sustained and enforced in the said State of Texas by the proper civil authorities, State or Federal, and the people of tho other States before named, and will be disposed, and are conformed, and will conform in their legislation to tho condition of affairs growing out of the amendment to the constitution of tho United Statos prohibiting slavery within the limits and jurisdiction of the United States.

And wheroas, all tho reasons and conclusions set forth in regard to the several Statos therein officially named, apply exactly and in all rcspocts to the Stato of Textyj as well as to the other States, which had been involved in insurrection.

And, whereas, adequate provision has been mado by military orders to on force tho execution of the acts of Congress and tho civil authorities, and securo obedience to the constitution and the laws of the Unitod States within the Stato of Texas, if a resort to military forca for such purposes, should at any timo become necessary.

Now, therefore, I, Audrew Johnson, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim and declare that the insurrection which heretofore existed in tho Stato of Texas is at an end, and is to be henceforth so regarded in that State as in tho other States before narnod, in which said insurrection was proclaimed to bo at an ond by the aforesaid proclamation of the 2d day of April, 1866 and 1 do further proclaim, that tho said insurrection is at an end, and that pcaco and tranquility and civil authority now oxist in and throughout tho wholo of thi) United States of America.

In testimony whereof 1 have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Douo at the city of Washington the 20th «lay of August, 1866, and of the independence of the United Statos of America tho ninety-first.

The Kentucky Election and Its Lesson. The rebels havo carried the Kentucky election by a majority ranging somowhere between 20,000 and 50,000 votes. This result does no* surprise us, although the majority against Gen. Ilobson is larger than wo anticipated. The race was not between Republicans and Democrats, but between parties, each of whom claiR&ed' the name of Democrat, and both of which profess to support Androw Johnson, and that will-o-the-wisp called his policy, which is ono thing to-day and another tomorrow, and consistent in nothing save a growing consideration for rebels, and a hatred and dislike of the true Union men who fought down the rebellion.

Duval!, the successful candidato in Kentucky, was a notorious rebel sympathizer throughout the war. Ho was supportod by every man who was a robu! citizen, a rebel boldior, or guerrilla and his election ia a triumph of rebel principles, and of nothing else.

General Hobson is a Democrat, vatcd for McClcllan, opposes the radicals, praisos Johnson, and if on this side of the river would probably vote what, is called tho Democratic ticket. But he had been a soldier of tho Union army, and had done good service in conquering the rebels in tho field. He it was who led the forces which pursued John Morgan through Indiana and Ohio in 186-i, and which captured that raider and his followers. This is the secret of his defeat for a civil offico in tho professedly loyal Stato of Kentucky. The contest was, as stated by Colonel Harlan, another Kentucky soldier, "between the bluo jackets and the grey." That was, unquestionably, a true statement of the case, and tho gre}*-backs have won. We have no sympathy with even tho mild form of Democracy which General Hobson and tho majority of his supporters have espoused, but it is hotter than the rebel Democracy of Duvall and his part}7, and for this reason wo should have boon glad if Hobson had succeeded.— As tho leader of the bluo jackets against the grey, our sympathies and tho sympathies of tho Union inon of Indiana wero with him and thoso who supported him but because ho and they had boon faithful to the Union when it cost something to bo Union men, the Copperhead Democracy of Indiana and Ohio sided with thoir rebel antagonists.

It will be remomberod that Baj'less W. Ilanna, a prominent Democratic politician of this State, attonded the convention which placed Duvall in nomination, and delivered a speech in which he took occasion to embosom himself in tho affections of his audience by eulogizing Stonewall Jackson and other rebel celebrities. That speech was published with approving comments, in the Indianapolis Herald, and the convention was endorsed as the truo representative of Kentucky Democracy. Daniol W. Voorhees, the confidant of C. C. Clay, Jacob Thompson and other rebel agents formerly domiciled on the Canada border, and tho negotiator with Wall, the New Jersey secessionist, for a supply of guns for tho domestic traitors of Indiana, wrote a letter urging the election of Duvall, the candidate of tho "graybacks," which was publishod all over Kentucky as an expression of tho Democracy of Indiana, and it is a noteworthy fact that no Indiana Copporhead newspaper, convention or individual publicly dissontod from the views of Voorhees as expressed in his letter.

Subsequently, George H. Pendleton, late Copperhead candidate for Vico President, and-C. L. Yallandigham, lato a candidato for the gallows, to which he, unfortunatly, was not duly elected, went to Kentucky and made speeches in behalf of tho "grayback ticket, assuring tho rebels that they had the sympathy of tho Democracy of Ohio, and of the whole North.—

Tho amiable cut-throats responded to tho truthful and welcome intolligenco with wild yells for Jeff. Davis and Leo, the most popular men at this day in tho Democratic party, "so-call-od." ,r

If in Kentucky, Union men can r,ot be elected to office if in that Stato tho strongest recommendation a candidate can urge, is that ho was a soldier in the rebol army, what must be" the condition of things in tho States,, farther South, which did not furnish thousands of soldiers to tho Union army as Kentucky did Tho answor to this inquiry has alroady been given in tho inhuman massacre of Union men* in tho blood stained streets of New Orleans.

The people of the North are asked to elect men to Congress who will roinovo all restraints upon rebels and the rebel States, reward them for their treason by a double representation in Congress, repeal all laws imposing political disabilities upon rebels, as was. foolishly dono by tho Unionists of Iventuck}-, and deliver the few re:il Union men of the South to tho unrestrained vengeance of tho Thugs whose cruelties and lawlessness havo linked tho names of Memphis and New Orleans in an imperishable and infamous notoriety.

Blue Jackets of Indiana, it is for you to sa}T whether the political friends of the graybacks shall seize upon the Government of this Stato, and send men to Congress who will fraternize^ with those who shout for Jeff. Davis and Leo. Your comrades in arms, who havo the misfortune to live in Kentucky, have become subject to tho rebels whom you and thoy whipped on the battle-fields of the South, it the latter extend their triumphs to In. diana, it will be your fault.—StateJournal.
