THE TWO-FACED DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. Our Conservative (?) friends "In these dlggini" are laboring bard to convince the people that their platform means that new greenbacks and enough of them' be made to pay the 3-20 bonds now due, and to keep making greenback! to pay all as they come due. . They even ihake Eastern Republican papers in our face to prove that that ia the proper construction papers, too, that they generally denounce as con tainiog nothing but ' lies. Now these fellows have papers of their own In the Eaat, and if their platform is two-faced it is not our fault; tut wt know it was made to purpossly to keep tho Western Pendleton men In the traces, as well aa Belmont and the1 rest of the rich Demo cratio(Q bloated Lend holders. Seymour's home organ , the New .York World, de icribci the platform thvttyt which ia the aarn äs Seymour's speech a few dsya be fore his nomination: Payment of the principal of the five twenty bonds ia greenbacks will easily be found ia 'the . tlalforra, if tearched for. The lapgusgo is, that "when the obliga tions'Of the Government do not expressly stste upon their face, or the law under which they were issued doos not provide that they shall be paid in coin, they ought, iu right and in justice, to be paid in ike lawful money of tho United States,'! that is to say, in greenbacks. This is explicit enough so far as it relates to the medium of payment; but how docs the fiatform propose to provide the mean? n other words, where are the greenbacks to come from? On this also the platform is explicit. They ate cot to be manufactured by the printing rress, but to bo raised by taxation. By his method the payment of the publio debt can not be very rapid. Tho bondholders need have no tear that their property ia to be swept away by a new inundation of paper money. Payment of the pullie debt iu greenback without incrcaaiog their present amount, payment in greenbacks out of tho proceeds of a reduced taxation, will leave the greater portion of the debt itauding for uaur yeere to ccme. . There I to be to itarting of the green back mill, no dcbaaiment of the enrrency of the people, in order to cheat the bond holders, and, in fsct, no immediate pay montofthe bonds. They are to stand while we reduce taxation and improve the currenoy. But what the declaration of payability in greenbacks really means is further ex plained and limited, the World ssys, by the declaration that there shall bo one currency for the Government and the peoplo, and by the furthor declaration that tho publio credit and tho currency ahall be Improved. And the World shows that the currency of the Government is gold. It rcclvra no other for customs. It collects 180 millions a years in gold. No one thinka of changing this. The in tercat of nil the bonds is payable in gold. They do not propose to repudiate this. The principal of the 10 40 Is specifically payablo In gold. The ' Democratic party propose to fulfill that contract. This ia the currency of the Government. Therefore tho declaration means to make the currency of the people one with that of the Government by making it equal to gold. We quote: There is another part of the platform which has a pertinent bearing on this subject. It is the declaration in favor of ' one currency for tho Government and tho people, for tho bondholder and the xrodu',er.M Now, altlToogh nothing ii expretdy said upon that point, we suppose tuo.piaiiorm contemplates tue pay mcnt of tho duties on imports in coin as heretofore ThU seems to us a justifiable, nsy, an inevitable inference from what is said about paying in coin such obligations of tho Government as stipulate for coin upon their fucr. The interest upon both the ten-forty and fivetwenty bonds is payable in coin by the vtry terms of the law, aud also the prinoipal of. the ten-forties. If the Government keeps thin exproJ'cn gagcrueot, it must by some means rai.oc tie coin, and no other method is suggested than by collecting it, as now, at the custom house!. Now, as the platform pledges the party to pay specie to the bondholders to nicetilieir Interest and that part of their principal which the law required to le paid in coin, it teems evident that the "one currency for the Government and the people, tho bondholder and tiic producer,1' must contemplate an early return': to ' specie payments. The 4,onc currency"" 'must mfcan either a uniform good currency or a uniform bad currency. It ij inconceivable in itrelf and inconsistent with the platform, that the old 1 aid money Democratic party should promise unifctni currency of bad money. The one currency means a sound currency; a currency equivalent to coin, and at all times exchangeable for it. One currency of depreciated greenbacks would be inconfcisteut with the payment in coin of that part of the public obligations which are acknowledged by the platform to be due in coin; i neon piste nt with the collection of the revenue from imports in gold; inconsistent with the idea that we are ever to return to specie payments. The World continues its citations of evidence that tho platform mcaus an early return to a epewie currency; Another declaration, in still another cectiou of .the platform, evinces an iutcn tiontomakean early return to specie payments. After calling for a reduction of tho public expenses and a reform of the system of taxation, the platform pro ceeds thus:. "So that the burden of taxation may be equalized and lessened, the credit of the Government and the currency made Ood." . The credit of the Government is not "good" so long as its promises sell for Uns tbaa their face; the currency is not "good so long as it Is inflated and irredeemable. . After thie demonstration of the gold aspect of the platform, the World sums up as follows:

The platform proposes to psy the five twenties in greenbacks; proposes to raise the money for this, purpose by tsxation; proca'vacs unequivocally that tho burden of taxation shall be lessened; tho credit of the government made good; the currency made good; and that that good currency ahall be the same far all classes, including the bondholders. We do not regard the.o soveral declarations as contradictory, but as mutually explanstory, perfectly consistent, and harmonious. The Democratio party is pledged by the platform to appreciate the greenbacks to par and use them for the payment of that part of the publio

debt which is not by express provision of law duo in coin. A Democratio ratification meeting was held at Brooklyn, New York, on the night of the 23d, at which Samuel S. Cox made the principal speech. On the question of money and the war debt he gave this view of the platform, and of Mr. Seymour's doctrine, which, it will bo seen, differs radically from the interpretation bf Mr. Pendleton, who ia trying to tar Mr. Seymour with the same brush that marked him. Mr. Cox said: ' . It should be paid by an extension over a fair period of time, "aooordiog to the letter and spirit of the laws under which it was contracted." Tbia ia the Republi can platform. 1 would (as the Democratic platform says) pay it in "lawful money.' Lawful ' money, to Democratio memory, means something that chinks; and as that part of the debt about which there is much useless logomachy in Congress, and such lucid equivocation in both platforms, is not likely to mature for some time I would not anticipate. Certainly for its payment, as for other reasons, 1 would never issue aootbor dollar of irredeemable, debauchiog, elastic .greenback currency. Moving on toward gold and silver as the standard of all values, and in the interest of labor and commerce, wa should do, as Horatio Seymour proposed in his speech of 11th March last, "de maod a policy of peace, order and economy, and by gaining that, lift up tiro national credit, help the tax-payer, and do justice to the bondholder, and thus make our currency aa good as sterling coin." Thus I would have one currency for all, and that currency that of the Constitution. A Cold and Profitless Cmvast. In a letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer under date of Juno 27th, 1SC3. tho Hon. John Pettit of Lafayette, urging the claims of Pendleton, makes the following reference to other candidates: "Tens of thousands of Democrats, myself among them, will vote for Grant bofore they will for Chase, and other tens of thousands will not Vote if he is nominated. We would rather vote for and trust tho Presidency to the truo old soldier than to a whining hypocritical civilian. If Hancock, Seymour or Hendricks should bo nominated, a cold and profitless canvass will go on. Give us Pendleton and wo have life aud suro success. John Pettit. Mr. Seymour is now the nominee, and as Pettit prodioted "the canvass will bo a cold and profitless one." The. defeated Pendletouians are not disposed to labor very much to promote tho success cf the man who "alaut'htered'' them. in this, as In other localitiei, many of them are very indifferent as to the ieult. Tributes to General Grant. In a letter to Gcnorul Grant, just after tho latter had becu appointed LiouteoantGeneral, dated "Memphis, March ,10, 1801," General Sherman wrote as follows: "I believe you are as brave, patriotic and just as tho great prototype, Washington -as unselfish, kiud hearted and honest as man should be but your chief rhsracteristio is the simple fuith iu success ou have alwaya manifested, which I can liken to nothing else than the simple faith the Christian haa in the Savior. This faith cave vou victory at Shiloh and Vicksburg. Also when you havo com deted your best preparations, you go into utile without hesitation, as at Chattanooga no doubts no reverso and I tell you that it was this that made us act with confidence. My only point of doubt was in Your knowledge ot urand strategy and of books of science and history; but I ron feHA vour common senso stems to have supplied all these." General Hallcck never liked General Grant, but in his official report he said f - concerning tho Vickburg campaign: "Wo can not but admire the akill and darinir of the commander. No more brillaut exploit can be found in military his tory. . . It is hardly necess ary to remark that General Grant never . . . . l .... . : - 1 .... 1 disoöeycd uü oruer or insiruiou, um ways carried out to the best of his ability every wish or suggestion maue to mm uy the Government. On July 13tb, lEC3,'Prcsidcnt Lincoln wrote to General Grant, from tho White House:' "I writs this now as a creatful acknow ledgment of the almost inestimable service you havo done the country.' Brick Pomerot, in writing from New York on the sixth of July, adds his test! mony to that of the Cincinnati Enquirer and Dayton Ledger, to show how beautifully Pendleton was sold out to Belmont and the "bondholders:" 'We have for several yearB been actively engaged in political struggles have seen conventions mangled and influenced many times, by various means, but never have we seen the open attempt to buy delegates, the determination to make money the great motive power, the entire utter disregard or respect for the wishes of the people, as has been developed by tho New York managers of Wall street and bondholders' interests. The entire aim, so far, has been to crush Pendleton and thefojle, with no particular choice as to who should bo placed in nomination against him. ' Delegates who left home instructed for and in favor of Pendleton, Lave been bought by money paid to them to vote against him. Over $100.000 were paid out to buy delegates away from Pendleton, between the 1st and 4th of July, and same of this money went to Wisconsin delegates, as we are informed and believe. Of this more auoti. t

Heavy Beta on Grant. , The nomination of the New York Con ventioa have fallen like a wet blanket on all parta of the country. It was expected that Seymour's nomination- would create some enthusiasm and confidence in New York, but it has entirely failed to do so.

No well-informed person in any part of the country now believes that Seymour and Blair have any better chances of success than had McClellan and Pendleton this time four yeara ago. When observing men offer to bet, and their offers are not snapped up, the publio readily geta an impression which wsy the cat is going to jump. Mr. George Wilkes, in the Spirit ofth Timet of the last issue, puts out the following: "A Chance to Make Some MonetGrant vs. SxYwooa. borne of our per soasl friends smong the Democracy informed us, while tho National Convention wss in session, thit tbey would be willing to lay out a Jittft looney with us, even up, on the success of the nominee of that Convention against General Grant. TbU. therefore, is to lay to those gentlemen end all others similarly inclined, tht we have a little money left, notwithstanding our impeachment losses, and stsnd ready to start anew with i few thousands on General Urant against Seymour for the next Presidency. By-way of making a distinct offer, we will begin, with, five thousand dollars. We will double this offer if re quired, and go even a little further, ff pressed bardl Who ppeaks?" The offer baa been , before the publio several days, but no takers have appeared. Tho Tribune has the following: "We happen to know that a Republican from another State, who was here wbeu Sevtnour wi nominated, left ten thousand dollars at the St. Nicholas to be invested on the election of Grant and Colfax, if any Stymourite should have equal faith in the success of his ticket. We have not yet kcard of any one going for that money." -. A Soldier's Estimate of Seymour. The following extract from a speech of Gen. Woodford, Lieutenant Governor of New York, at a publio meeting in Brooklyn, New York, shows how Union soldiers regsrd Seymour: You can now understand how we sol diers feel towsrd His Excellency, Mora ,tio iScymour, In the hour of our sorrow and weartocss lie had no encouragement for us, uo faith in cur courage, aud no faith in the final victory. Now, in our triumph, when the flg streams on every brecto and all our land is one again, we have no need of thee, Horatio Sovmnur.

At tho battle of Lookout Mountain, as, following the line . of fire, our Surgeons climbed uplhe billy steep, they tnvt'tour soldiers coiiiiug down and carrying in a blanket a shapeless in uns. Laying their burdou tendnly down, they asked the doctor to look at their wounded Color Sergeant. His shoulder and forearm haj been torn away by a shell.

Baker was about to retire from the chair as presiding officer of tho Senate to assume the duties of Governor, Buylcss W. II anna, the leader of the Dem ocratic party iu the State Senate, arobe and said, in rcsDonse to a resolution of thanks to the then Lieutenant Uovcrnor for the faithful manner in which he had performed his duties: "1 desire simply to second this resolu tion as a member of the minority on this floor; for since I have been a member of political bodies I have never met with a Dresidinc officer to whom I felt morestrongly attached than the gentleman who has just vacated the chair. I regard him as a man of eminent ability and distin guished courtosy, unbiased and impartial iu his decisions; and I desire to offer this

littlo tribute to a model presiding officer.'' Mr. Jas. II. Yawter, Senator from this and Jackson counties called for the yess and nays on its adoption, as he said, "that tho record may ahow that the resolution is adopted unanimously." The vote stood, yeas 46, nays none. This hearty and unanimous indorsement of Governor Baker, by both political parties, In a So ate over which he bad presided, is the highest possible compliment to the Republican candidate for Governor. WrliUn for the Amtrteea. Reply to "Hooiler'1 of the Democrat.

1 reported, aometime eince, the ''grand failure" made by the "Old Liners' when thev undertook to ratify the nomitlatioea of the New York Convention, and I am convinced now that it was a worse "blow out" than I then stated. Why, very many of the "real simon ture." who bsd heretofore gutzled down everything that emanated from a Democratio body, shook their heads, and swore that they didn't see how they could consent to vote for Seymour instead of "Greenback George," "aud then," said they, "the worst and meanest of all is, they have placed on Ibo ticket that vilest of alt renegades, F. P. Blair." One man who is a prominent Democrat and a reliable gentleman, (a rare specimeu among Democrats,) was heard to say that Blair was a disgrace to any party, and that he would not allow them to burn one of his "old barrels", io rejoicing over such a ticket; no, not for a twenty dollar bill. Iu my first article published in the American I sinp!y stated the feeling that existed, and the kind of a demonstration they had, and il seems to have a'ronsed tto indie nation of the whole crew. I was aware tTiat barely mentioning the demonstration to tho "unteriified" had the same effect on them that water does on a mad dog, but I hardly supposed that such a tcrrifio attack of hydrophobia would follow a newspaper allusion to it. Stiil it is hard to tell whet theso fellows will do, for they ate mi gh'y fierce. In all that 1 havo written I have given only the truth. I havo avoided personality, and have been careful not to say anything that would give oflonee to friend or foe. But still the "unteiriSed" grew wrathy. ' So, alter due cuucussii.jr, the vile followers of Brick Pomcroy put forward a certain u It in in coicurjtjf cur who was reared among the "mui. Bills,' graduated in the Knights of tho Golden Circle, and is now training with the "Ku-Klux Klan," to reply, not in an honorable ruannrr nor even in a decent way, but io a lute flung, ungentlemanliLe, personal attack jul such aa might be expected from a common cuitnuttgeoti, who not daring to come out over his owu uame, aigns himself "lloolier." He says I wore my pants out on storeboxes during the wsr. I wonder xcho tuppliit him wi'h Inrchti. And, by the way, "HooMcr," which do you think is luv i 'low a vi e iviivi v nvsi vut tho worst for a follow to weir out his to we.r our ittiug on a block io a ttutiit hotiitt This highly scented "tloosier" goes on to say that "it was a glad time," aud that "the old men's fscts grew young with joy." Ah, Mr. ,'Hooicr," you were right atiout their looking young, und well they illicit, as the crowd was compoed principally ot boys. Reader, did you ever go around among a Klun of these fellows, about tho uys $tnull hours of night, and bear some important chop who had got too big for lila coat, and had taken it off to ahow his vhtch ihiit, talking about the laige crowd and tho great enthusiasm? when there were not moro than foriylhree louls all told, and ho was more enthuiiustia than all the balance of the gavg. If you wish to freo a specimen of tum kind of enthusiasm, give some tcavrngtr such as "Hoo-lur" a lew horns of ben sine from the Democratio Platform, and small boys will look like men to him. llooMer," you tuado a bold atroke by pointing to Conuersville, thinking, no doubt, that this would silence the meru on correspondent. Bah! my boy, it wont do. If you would like a history of my "career," 1 will bo mod happy to give it, in order to convince you, boyoud a doubt, that it ia not possible for a man to have any intercourse with a low down member of the Democratio Party without being polluted. For this very reason 1- hesitated about replying to jour Hcurrilous article. In concluding his communication, this poltroon, iu future tobe known ss 'lloosier,' cautions me about writing for the papers, as I might be found out, and at the same time he teems to be quite as much alarmed for fear ho will nor be found out. You need give yourtelf no uneasiness, "lloo sier," as I will occasionally condescend to ventilate mean, cowardly uptUirtt, who tncnkiiirjly condemn met) behind the hon orublu Hämo of "Hoosier." You know better than to come out over your own name, as your Jip. wont stand the fire. And to your Counselor who stands behind the curtain, I would say, that while I was not in the Federal army, I am proud to say I never followed the fortunes of John Morgan in his thieving, murdering raids through Kentucky, and then came tu Indiana, joined the Democrats, and set myself up to tecb the citirens loyalty. Come out from your "uoosierdom, un furl your colors over your name mean though it bo aud we will "fight it out on this liuo" or any other. More anon. T. Gib. Pike. Laurel, July 27th, 18GS. Rush County Democrats Rampant.

Quite a number of Democrats. as they left town on last Saturday night, cheered lustily for Jeff Davis.

The last of the expresa robbers have fallen into lha baod of a Vigilance Committee,, more vigilant than even the Sao Franciscan; have plead ed in vain for lifs, have been allowed only ahort shift, have been hung iu the dead of night from limbs which suatained only six days before the weight of their guilty comrades. , The story of the last attempted robbery ia slill freh in the memories of our readers, and the terrible judgment meted out to Ellots, Roteberry and Clifton will not have been forgotten. They were bung on Monday last only a week ago to-day. Two diya before Llleta wsa writing letters to friends in Sejmour from tho Ninth Street Station House, in this city, telling them tobe in no fear, for he was wellsud would loon rejoin them; asking them "to smoke their best cigars on his account," a nd "to believe uo news which they might bear." The three were taken on Monday from this eity, conveyed to Seymour, anhing there about teu o'clock Monday night All was silent at the depot when the train halted, much more silent thsu usual. There was no hint of the trsgedy soon to be enacted; no omen to giva warning to the doomed men of their proacbing fate. A1W the transfer of its freight, the train rped on toward Browuitown, but it had not pro ceded far before it was signaled by a red light, and, io obedience to the summons, the train stopped. At once it waa surrounded by a body of somo two hundred men, and a detachment weut im mediately to the express tar, where the three outlaws wer sitting. There were only two pairs of handcuUs, Rte berry be ing bound with one pair, and Eilet and Clitton fastened together whh the other In silence, without wotds or noire, the stern, self appointed executors cf the law seised, firrt. ltostberry, who, bound as Le was, could make uo it-bistanee, threw hint from the car, and gave him in charge ( the members of the committee outside.

No one was near tu witness their last atrucliiii;a, no one to offer even the shortest prayer for the dy ing men. But the end was not yet. The woik of the committee was Mill iiot accompli-h ed. 'Jhree of iho party engaged in the outrnjre wera vet at Urge, and until th asuie wild justice was mvtod out to them as to Kllets, Rosebcrry and Clifton, the committee could not tease its labors. A dfcciintion ot Moote, Sparkssnd Jcrrel had been sent out in sll directions by the detective who wss working up the care. Two of these men were young Moore being only 21 years old, and Spsrks shout 30. 1 he s):e ot Jcirell is unknown All were sinule men, and residents, for tnsny years, of Seymour. The writ for their arrest was issued in Jsckson cuunty, Indiana, and ma-Je returnable there. Friday alternoon tlfo three men were t i i ii in lil . . found tn Walloon, Illinois, mnner mcy had fled immediately afier iho attempted robbery. All were at work on a farm, and were arrested by the Sheriff ol tbe place. 'I bey were placed in charge of a special efficer from Seymour, aud on haturday put on the train bound for Indianapolis. On reaching that city they were trans ferred to the Seymour train, to be taken, it was decided, to Brownstown to await their trial. But an engineer sont in ad vance an ominous dispatch: "Shali run over no red lighti." Again as the train reached Seymour all wss quiet. INo contusion, no noire, no armed committee, no threats of lynch law on anv side. It was thought best that the prisoners should be taken to Browne town in a wagon, and accordingly about midnieht the three prisoners and their ruurd started off. But there was to be for them no trial by slow forms; no long delaved punishment. An outraged com mun'ity, tired of the the thraldom in which it bsd been held tor years by villains and outlaws, had determined to take ven rn.nr-A sain, tprrihl awful. Their onlv law for this waa the law of self-defense; their only : justification the necessity of the caee. About two o'clock yesterday morning the wagon was atopped in the midst of the great dreary forest, by men whose oniy disguise were handkerchiefs bound about thebrow.

Therewere several hundred people at the depot to take another look at a aijibt which will probably never again be jtneed io thit

city, lie locomotive wss trimmed with flsgs and wreathe. When the train reached. I ooganoxie it waa evident that the people had heard the news. Wagons, hones, carriage, men, women and children tha entire population cam out to greet the conquering heroea. The depot had beer gracetully trimmed by Mr. Liddell, theStation Agent. Aa soon as the cars stopped a salute was fired, the people gathered round the cars and called for Grant," Grant," until the General appeared. Amid great cheeting he bowed his acknowledgments and retired. At Reno there was another largo crowd and equal enthusiasm. At 10.30 the train reached North Lawrence. Not less than three thousand persons were present, with a band of music, cannons, flag, and all the inrignia of an enthuiastjo welcome. The cheering which greeted the train waa perfectly deafening, and was continued until (Jena. Grant, Sherman aud Shcridau tuad-e their ppearauee. There weie repealed call lor a speech, but no j mh was nude. The teople luahed iu fioiu all dirvviionS h shake bands with the victorious Geuersl, arid no greeting was ever u.oie liniere and heailflt. At Wiliiamsville, Pt-rryville and Medina, the ears rus-de a brit f dthry. Thcte were crowda of pvoytc, ÜK, sher-rn and a joyous welcoMio. It was, iu larr, a pela day alone the whoUline H ike Ktiiaas Pacifier llailway. At Grantville thcte was a crowj which UJUt hate included Hie entire population of that vicinity. Geo. Grant waa told that tho town was named for him. Ho thought the locution a good one, as that "there wsa room enough ihvro tu tu tit a larcotoun." At Perry ville there was at banner with the motto, "The ladies of Perrytiüe welcome the next Pre-ident;" but at Grsnhi le the n.rn, women and childieii are all ftr Grant and Coll'ax. Gen, Grant said he never rode through a finer country limn (he Kun-ss Valley. He waa surprircd at the iinoirnxe number of rattle and slot k and tluir tine aj jesr ance. The Ii-at and oata had been fully harvested 'Ibeie u re tlioui-ui! f vtes of potalcos and coin Irom tourtveti to sixteen feet high lump, and Hungarian grrB. At Topeka there was another luge crowd tl i ijm ctant people. They bad out the old u ii which ucd to puard the city, aud fired a viumus salute. The few minutes wer cotiMimed in cheers, handshaking and greeting. .We were unable to go further with the train, but it was very evident thit every town' on the whole line of the roa i would extend a hearty elcome to our Generals. In traveling over the country Gen. Grant has spread out betöre him a large nap of all this oew portion of the Union. He examines the country, makes iuquiiie about curyihing which is new or which he does not uudcrMand, makes notes and corrections on his map, snd hardly allows a moment to poaa unimproved. He ia a very pleasant companion, talking only when nccesKary, and always to tho point. He wears spectacles wbeu he reads, and had with him yesterday the New York and St. Louis dailies, and tho Leavenworth Conrcrvative, While all the other members of tlo party frequently indulged iu cigars, it was ' noticeable that Genersl Grant did not smoke at ail. He told everul good stories during the day, and seemed to erjoy the tiip with genuine heurtine.-s. General Sherman, bo ever, did mor.t of the talking - be never stops while General Sheridan wss full of life, fire and fun. He runs over with roerritucut, und lias vitality enough in him to supply a who.!e army corps. NEV7 ADVERTISEMENTS LOOK HEBE, EVE H YE DD Y! L.
