Democratic National Convention, ADDRESS OF HON. AUGUST : BELMONT. THOMAS JEFFERSON RANDOLPH TEMPORARY o CHAIRMAN, Hon. James R. Doolittle ;; President of the * Convention. A Thrilling Speech. Harmonious I’roceedings. _ Greeley and Brown Nominated . Unanimously, - Adoption of theCincinnaﬁ Pia’b - form,

At 12 o'clock of Tuesday, July 9th, the Democratic National Convention was called to order by August Belmont, chairman of the Democratic National Executive Committee. ' Mr. Belmont said : o Gentlemen of the Convention: It is again my privilege to welcome the delegates of the National Democracy, who have met in order to present to the American people condiiates for President and Vice President, tor whom they solicit the suffrage of the democratic and conservative voters of this great Republic. At our last National Convention, on the 4th of July, 1868, I predicted that the election of General Grant would result in the gradual usurpation of all the functions of the Government, by the Executive and by Congress, to be enforced by the bayonets of a military despotism. A vast majority of the people of these United States have witnessed with grief and sorrow ‘the correctness of that prediction, and they look forward with fear and apprehension to the dangers which are threatening us if, by the re-election of Gex(:igml Grant, the policy thus far pursued by the radical party be continued. Thinking men of both parties have be: come alive to the fact that we are now living under a military despotism, overriding the civil authority in‘many States of the Union; that, by the enactment of arbitrary and unconstitutional laws, thro’ a depraved majority in Congress, the rights ot these States are infringed and trampled upon, and that Ceesarism and centralization are undermining the very foundatiors of our system, and are sweeping away the constitutional bulwarks erected by the wisdom of the fathers ot the Republic. These abuses have become so glaring that the wisest and best men of the republican partyhave severed themselves from the radical wing that is trying to [asten upon the country another four years’ reign of corruption, usurpa: tion and despotism, and whatever individuaal opinion we may entertain ag to the | choice of the candidates whom they have selected in opposition to General Grant, there cannot be any doubt ot the patriotic impulses which dictate their action, nor can any fault be found with the platform of principles upon which they have placed their candidates. The resolutions of the Cincinnati convention are what the country require, and they must command the" hearty support of every patriot through - out the vast extent of our land. In the struggle which is before us, we must lookto principles, and not men, and I trust nopersonal predilections or prejudices will deter us from doing our duty to the | American people. Gen. Grant has been a good and faithful soldier during our civil war. His stubborn will and his indomitable courage has belped to-crown he Union arms with ‘victory, and the American people have rewarded his services with unbounded generosity. I am. willing to concede that his intentions on taking the Presidential chair were good and patriotic. ' But hc has most signally ‘and sadly failed in the discharge of the high trust imposed on him by the confidence ot a grateful people. He is at this moment the very personification of the wisrule which is oppressing us, and his recelection 18 fraught with most deplora‘ble consequences for the welfare of the Republic,and endangers the liberty of our geople.. ‘On the other hand, Mr. Greeley as been herefofore a bitter opponent to thﬂ‘lmﬂwﬂﬁmﬁmﬁ } jouynal, certainly do not entitle him to

any sympathy or preference at my hands; but Mr. Greeley represents the national and constitutional principles of the Cincinnati platform, and by his admirable and manly letter of acceptance, he has shown that he is fully alive to their spirit, and that if he is elected means to carry them out honestly and faithfully. Shoyld you, therefore, in your wisdom, decide to pronounce in favor of the Cincinnati candidates, I shall, for cne, most cheerfully bury all past differences, and vote and la- | bor for their election with the same zeal and energy with which I have heretofore, and mean ever to support, the candidates nominated by the democratic party. The American people look with deep solicitude to your deliberations. It is| for ‘you to devise means by which to :free ‘them from the evils under which they are suffering; but, in order to attain that end, you are called upon to. make every sacrifice of personal and party preference. However much you might desire to fight the coming battle for our rights and| lib. erties under one of the democratic party, it will become your duty to discarn; all considerations of party tradition, i; the selection of good and wise men outside of our ranks offers better chances of suceess. You must remember that you are here not. only as Demacrats, but as citizens/of a. common country, and that no sacrifice can! be too great which ehe demands at your hands. : = Now, before I propose to your acgeptance the temporary chairman of this convention, permit me to detain you, cne. moment longer by a few words of an{entirely personal character. With my preseent action terminates my official functions as chairman of the National Democratic Committee, an oifice which, by the confidence of my constituents and the eou‘;gesy of my colleagues, Izhave held for t.v?elve consecutive years. During all that time I bave striven with an honest zealand with all the energy and capacity God, has given me to do my duty faithfully to the party and to the country, to render myself worthy of the great trust confetred upon me. - While I was grieved and deeply miortified to see at various timesimy motives and actions misconstrued by several democratic papers --that some ever descended to fabrication of the most absurd: falsehoods concerning my social and; political conduct—ll have been proud oﬁ the consoling satisfaction that my colleagues on the National Committee—all those who know me—did justice to the integrity and purity of my intentions in alq the trying situations in which my oﬂicial; position had placed me; and let me tell you, gentlewnen, there is not one amongsﬁyou ~who bears a warmer, truer affectior for our party and our country than I Have done, acd ever shall do. You love this great Republic, your native land, asiyou do your mother who gave you birth,put to me she is a cherished bride and the choice of my youth, the faithful andijoving companion of my manhood, and, now that I enter upon the sere and yellowileaf of life, I cling to her with all the fond recollections of the manifold blega:i'ngs received at her hands. I retire frony the position which I have held to take my place in the rank and file of that party whose national, constitutional and icongservative principles have claimed my un_ wavering allegiance for the last t@irty vears, and as long as the Almighty;will spare my life, I shall never falter ig my love or devotion to our party or oar %ountry. ! i fo yI have the honor to propose to you, as your temporary ¢hairman, a distingujshed and venerable citizen of Virginiaj the grand-son of the patriot and statesman, Thomas Jefferson. It is an auspgcious omen that the scion of the author ¢f the Declaration of Independence is to inaug. urate the struggleé of the Democrazy for the freedom and equality of every Amer | ican citizen, and a%ainst oppression and tyranny in our fair land. ° . Belmont’s remarks were frequently interrupted by enthusiastic applause; The mention of Greeley’s name was rgceived with loud demonstrations of approyal ; so, were also, the speaker’s personal references to himself. . : |

SPEECH OF THE TEMPORARY PRESIDENT. The temporary chairman, Mr. Randolph, on taking his seat, said: “I am aware that the very great honor conferred on me by this body is due to no personal merit of my own, but a token of respect to the State from which I come, and in recog- - nition of other circumstances, possibly adventitious. I am perhaps the oldest member of this body,and a life of eighty years spent in the Democratic-Republican par ty constitutes me a senior member. I re—member freshly every Presidential contest from the first election of Jefferson to the present time, and I can say, with truth, that I remember none which involved higher questions of personal liber. erty, local self Government, honest Administration, and constitutional fieedom than'the present, or one which demands of our party and our people, a call for more earnest resources to prudential principles. It strikes me as the duty pf this hour and of this body, to wrest the Gov¢ ernment from the hands of the present despotic and corrupt holders, and ta place it in honest hands ; to restore the cjtizens everywhere the proud consciousness of personal right, and to all the States perfect integrity of self Government. | This, with the recognition of the supremacy of the civil constitution and law, will, gn my judgment, discharge all our present duty.” The foregoing remarks were delivered with much energy and. affectiveness,| con—sidering that the speakerls nearly an oc- 1 togelian, and were repeately cheered. | Rev: Henry Slicer, being presented, ad* dressed the Throne of Grace.

* GeNTLEMEN oF THE CONVENTION: —I thank you for this great honor, words cannot tell how | much, but you will allow me to pass at once from what is personal, to speak of the great occesion, the duty and purpose- which bring us here. Two years sgo, nearly five years after " the bloody period of civil war had closed, the " Liberal Republicans of Missouri feeling keenly -allithe evils of proscriptive test oatks, the pas- - sions of war-had left them, long after the war _itself had ceased, and feeling keenly the Exec- ' utive Federal dictation in their local elections, determined to organize a moyement to restore equal rights to all our citizens, white as well as | black; to restore local self-government, and to arrest further centralization of Federal power. They then said this thing has gone far enough, if not too far. The time has come when all _honest and’ patriotic Republicans’ must say “Halt,” and reassert the vital doctrine of Re--publican Government, that under the Constitution the powers of the Federel Government are defined and limited, and that the people of the States have the right to govern themselves in their own domesiic affairs upon the basis of - equality of all the States;l?ngfore the higher law, before the Constitution, slmd equality of all men ~before the law; universal loyalty, amnesty, suffrage, and peace; taking no step backward; taking no right or no franchise which had been ~secured to the blacks, pledging themselves to support them all in their full vigor. They, at the same time, demanded, in the name of peace, : in the name of liberty, in the name-of Republi- . can Government itself, that freedom and equal rights should be restored to the white people. ley organized nearly 40,000 strong, and called pon Gratz Brown to head the movement, they laced bim in nomination for you, and then hat followed? Eighty thousand Democratic Republicans looking upon the success of that movement a 8 above any party triumph, resolved. to sustain it with their whole strength. Love of country, love of Republican liberty, love of. equal rights of all men, inspired that union and taught men to act together who had been politically opposed to each other ali their lives, and upon other questions and in other times, without violating éither honor, logie, conscience or -consistency on either side, The patriotic union was based upon higher grouundsthan ordinarily control political action. Even:those who had fought against each other in battle, clasped hands over the bloody chasm ‘and side by side like ‘brothers, with hearts beating in unison, beating with the same high purpose, they helped to bear its flag on to glorious liberty. That, gentlemen, is Liberal Republicanism, and that is Democratic Republicanism. The victory which came fromr that Umion was the end of proscriptive ‘test. Oaths, of pain and strite, and of all disloyalty; in a word, the real end of the civil war came with that victory, and did not come until then in Missouri. It redeemed that State, it gave the right of freeman to 70,000 men, who had been bound and fettered. Missouri is now a free State in this Union,with all her rights and dignity and equality, under the Constitution, and not one murmur of disloyalty is anywhere heard. By that Union Federal dictation in Missouri in their local elections was overthrown, and by that Uniou strife and hate has given place to peace and good will. By that union liberty, with equal rights for all, have given.to the State unbounded prosperity, and her people a joy almost unspeakable. So great was their joy and so complete their success, the Liberal Republicans in that State were not content without making an effort to éxtend the same union of Liberal and Democratic Republicans, and with it the same blessing of liberty, peace and fraternity to all other States. Accordingly, in State Convention on the 24th of March last, they resolved to invite the Liberal Republicans in all the States to meet them in Nagtional Convention, in Cincinnati, on the 18t of May. . That invitation was accepted. There was indeed a great response. They came by thousands, in such vast numbers ‘that a Delegate Convention of the representatives’ of all the States was formed, both from principles and. from necessity, to give form to its .proceedin§s. Many of the ablest of the country, lately leaders in the Republican party, were there and took part in its deliberations. They were assured that a large number of Liberal Republicans in every State, and from all parts of the country stood behind ready to sustain them, and they were morally certain that the millions whom we this day represent would come to their support.. The number of Liberal Republicans would reach half a million or more. That Convention presented a - platform and presented candidates to the country—for President, Horace Greeley, and. for Vice-President, B Gratz Brown, and that! Convention, for the promotion and success of the princi?les declared in thas platform, there enunciated, and the support of the candidates nominated by that Convention, have invited and cordially welcomed the co-operation of all patriotic citizens, without regard to previous political affiliations. Those principles were clearly and concisely stated in the platform itself, and re-stated in the letter of acceptance of Mr. Greeley, and they &re so well known to you all that I will not re-state them. For weeks that platform and these candidates have been before the country. Meanwhile the Convention called to nominate General Grant, and tg indorse and continue the principles, practices, and policy of h? Administration, has dfne its work. Betweefi Liberal Republicans and the followers of the Grant Administration the issue is now clearly made. It is Grant or Greeley. While these events were passing Democrats and Republicans, whom we represent, held their Conventions in all States. The Liberal Republican movement—the example of Mis‘gouri—the Cincinnati Convention, its platform and its candidates, with their letters o? acceptance, were all before these Conventions, which werevery largely attended by their ablest men, and the paramount questions before all these Conventions, were: = Shall we accept this invitation to co-operate with Liberal Republicans ? Shall we adopt this platform? Shall we nominate the same candidates? and shall we elect them? or shall we refuse to co-operate and nominate other condidates ? and strive to elect them over both in the field. (Gentlemen, these are the questions which you are to decidg here, and that you will decide wisely I cannot%oubt, nor can any one doubt who looks over this body of men, representindg, as they do, three millions of citizens, and who feels, s every one must feel, the hiéh and patriotic purpose which ipspires you. entlemen, what means this great uprising which you everywhere “see ? ‘What means thie proposed union of three mil-

lions of Democratic Republicans with a million, it may be, of Republicans?. What means this unison upon a:cbmmon platform, and this proposed union upon the same candidates, A union so sudden, so compact, 80 earnest as to surprise its friends, and to confound its enemies? Which comes as the winds come, or which, to borrow & figure, overwhelms ordinary currents of public opinion,as great streams always run counter to surface currents. What means all this? There are some things, gentlemen, it does not mean. It does mot mean the abandonment of what is true, of what is just, of what is. good. It means no union of dead upon dead issues, but a man of Jiving upon living issues of the present. It means no union for the smiles of office; but it means a union of men of the same faith, upon the great paramount issues of the present hour,—2a frank, manly honorable, and equal union of men who have the sagaclity, senss, and moral courage to accept the situation, It means a union of men who have the sagacity to see what is past, and to deal with the issues of the present, and for the future to do their duty to their country, their God, and their fellow-men. The issue of to-day is not the repeal of the Missouri com--‘promise, nor the question of slavery in the Territories, upon which alone the Republican party was organized in 1856. It is not upon that which followed. The Lecompton Constitution for Kansas divided the Demoeratic party in twain, and elevated Abraham Lifcoln to the Presidency in 1860. ' 1t is not a question of secession, nor of war, to put down Rebellion, nor the abolition of slavery in the Southern States by military order or by Constitutional amend: ment, upon which Lincoln was re-elected in 1864. Nor yet is it-the question of reconstruc, tion, nor of the Fourteenth ‘and Fifteenth Amendments, nor the question of negro suf-. frage, nor of the establishment by gFederal power of universal suffrage as a condition precedent to the States of the South haying-any rights or existence as States of the Union. It is none of these questions that is now the issue. All these have been issues in the past, great issues sufficient in themselves to create and to dissolve political parties, because ideas are stronger than men or parties; but they are all past 18sues; they have been fought and fought to the end in the forum as in the field, and they are no more in iseue to-day than the Mexican War or the War of the Rebellion. We couldn’t re-open them if we would, and they falsely mis- ; represent our purposes who sag' that we would . re-open them if we could, This great union, - therefore, means no step backward. ‘‘For ward”’ is the word; and first of all it means today, for all other States of the Bouth, what is already done in Missouri. Instead of proseriptive test oaths, suspensions of Aabeas corpus, and military despotism, it means personal freedom for the individual and republican form of Government for all, instead of negro supremacry upheld by proscription and the bayonet. It means e?nal ﬁgm to all men, white as well as . black. Instead of thieving Governments organized to plunder subjugated States, it means elective domination once more, ‘gtih;{m and integrity. llnstead of strife, hate, and robbery it means justice, liberty, pesce, loyalty, good - will, and, gentlemen, for our g;;‘:{plo ~country Em ‘West, North, and South. It means instead of & War President, trained only in the : military school, &nd whose whole character has been formed on th b;m%htbiﬁwmd despotism of mililary life, a Peace President,

trained in the ideas, arts, blessings, and republican simplicity of peace and universal freedom; of peace not enehained, of hberty not under arrest, waiting trial, sentence, and exiecution by drumi:eag court martial, but that. liberty and that peace which the Constitution secures by piacing civil law above the sword, by preserving in full vigor the sacred writ of habeas corpus by rvight of trial by jury. It ‘means another thin%, and, perhaps, the most important of them 2ll; it means to arrest the centralization of power in the Federal Government; it means to assert the vital principles of our republican system, in which it lives and moves and has its very being; that Constitutions are made by people in their sovereign oapacity, for the express purpose of defining and limiting the (fowers of the Government, the YOXV"B of all Governments, State and National. t means that we are determined that Presidents and Governors, Congress and State Legislatures, and every department of the Government shall obey the Constitution. It means, also, a genuine Civil Bervice Reform, beginning with the Presidential office. *lt means to put au end forever to certain practices which have grown up with this Administration, which haye driven so many of the ablest Republicans to join this Liberal movement, and which have deeply wounded the hearts of all the Republicans as well as Democrats in this councry, practices which never existed under any other ‘Administration, which are but too well known to all the world, and which our nation’s good: reputation will be consulted by not even naminF. It means also to give strength and stability. to our financial affairs and our nationat credit bv bringing honesty, and economy, and fidelity to every position, Federal, State, and municipal, where public mopeys are colleated and disbursed. It means also the honest payment of all our obligations. It means to givea higher tone and greater vigor.to the Administration of our foreign and domestic affairs, so as to command the respect and confidence of. our own people, and of all the civilized world. It means to place in the highest offices of our Government, men of whom all the world will say: “‘They are honest and they are capable.” Gentlemen, 1 have thus briefly stated the situation, duties, and purposes which bring us here. A great résponsibility rests ugon this Convention. If its action shall be such, and I doubt not it will be, as to put an end to the misrule which, for the last few years, has afflicted our beloved country, this generation and generations to come after us will remember with pride and gratitude the Convention at Baltimore of the 9th of July, 1872. Amid loud dnd long-continued applause, Mr. . Doolittle took his seat. : . : 2 - SECOND DAY. ° + At 10 o'clock, A.M., Wednesday, the convention re-assembled. Prayer by Dr. Leyburn. .

THE CINCINNATI PLATFORM ADOPTED.. Mr. Burr, of Connecticut, announced that the Committee on resolutions'were ready to report, and came to the platform and requested that the resolutions be read by Cletk Perrins. He ‘said the report recommended the adoption of the resolutions already adopted by the Liberal Convention at Cincinnati. In order that there should be no misapprehension as to these resolutions, Mr. Burr called for their reading in full to the convention, which was done, each plank in the platform being received with applause. The oneterm plank was' especially well received. Three cheers were given at the close. Mr. Burr expldined that the resolutions were the Cincinnati platform exactly; with nothing added, nothing excluded.— This platform was adopted in the committee by all the States except Delaware, Mississippi, ‘Georgia and Oregon. He moved the adoption of the report and the ‘previous question. : T o A brief discussion followed?‘ Senator Bayard, of Delaware, arguing in fayor of. some modifications in the Cincinnati platform. He was replied to by Judge Rea-. gan of Texas and O'Conner of South Carolina, who strongly urged the adoption of theCincinnati platform without the slight. est change or modification. : A 'vote by States was ordered, yesulting in favor of the platform adopted by -the Liberals a$ Cincinnati by a vote of 670. yeas against 52 nays. 2 ,

i A PETITION. . Gov. Hoffman, of New York, presented a petition from 15,000 Germans of the ci ty of New-York, which was read by the Secretary. It recommends the nomination of Greeley and Brown, and expresses the belief that they will receive the hearty support of the Germans, regardless of past party affiliations, as'the best nominations that can be made. i NOMINATION OF HORACE GREELEY. | On motion of Martin M.

They would yield to the decision and accept the result which the great _high court of appeal of the party had decreed. lln conclusion, by instruction of his delegation, he moved that hisnomination b 3 made’ unanimous. (Wild cheers—music: “Battle Cry of Freedom.”) - Upon the announcement of the nomination, the * Battle Cry of Freedom,” by the band, was followed by “Hail to the Chief.” . When the music ceased a scene was lowered at the rear of the Stage, presenting a view of the White House. (Applause.) Order being restored, the motion of Mr. Wallace that the nomination: be made unanimods was put, and carried with one or two dissents only. s - ANIMUS OF THE DELEGATES, - When the convention proceeded to vote for candidates for President, the chairman of the delegation mentioned below ‘made thi following ‘remarks in announc: fng the vote of the State; -

No. 1 2.

. Alabama : The chairman of the delega: tion from -Alabama cast her twenty votes for Horace Greeley, of New: York. - - This being the first vote cast, the name of Horace ‘Greeley called forth. a tremendous burst of applause, the entife audi. ence rising and waving their bats, handkerchiefs, and fans, the ladies in'the boxes and galleries juining in the demonstration. After ‘several ~minutes é’xci‘teni_ent‘i had closed, three rausing cheers were given for Horace Greeley, and when-the secretary announced the result’ of the vote, the cheering was renewed. ~ . 0 Illinows : Mr. President, Illinois is here to contribute her ald to save the country rather than to sustain a party. She casts her. forty-two votes for the philosopher, statesman and patriot, Horace Greeley.— (Great applause.)vi_g L Pl

} Indiana : Mr. President, in- the ineipi--ency of this great political revolution, In- - diana‘'was first to recogmnize ity necessity, .and feel its mighty impulses, and recog-. nizing Horace Greeley, the distinguished statesman of New York, as a fit represcn: tative of 'this great ‘movement, she casts ~thirty votes for Horace Greelev.’: (Great -applause.) 1) SN R - Mississippi : It'is inseribed onthe platform above your head, * Peace and good will.” Mississippi. accepts these as the watchwords of the campaign, and casts her sixteen votes for the illustrious apostleof peace and good will, Horace Greeley. (Great applause.) | i o Missouri: 1 am instructed by the dele gation from Missouri to cast her thirty votes for Horace Greeley, of New ' York, and say, in'addition thereto, that Missouri. will give the largest mmjority for Horace Greeley of any State.in the Union.: (m: mgnse applause. e "As New York was called the entire delegation rose, with Governor Hoffman at their head and for a moment the Convention was “hushed, and profound silence prevailed. Then the convention gave three ringing cheers for New York, followed by three for Governor Hoffman. The Governor attempted to speak, but the ‘applause was at once renewed in the gallery quarter of the house:. Cheer fol-. lowed €heer, and ‘the galleries rose, the audience waving their handsand handker‘chiefs, while the enthusiasm became irrepressible. © After three attempts to be heard, Governor Hoffman said : - S “MR. PRESIDENT AND GGENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: - It ‘was.my . intention and was the wish of the délegati’on which I represent, that I should simply rise and cast the vote of New York: without a word of comment, und I should have adhered ‘to this intention if.it had not been for two things which have taken place within the last moment. One was thedeclaration of the gentleman from Mis.. sonti ‘that that State would give Mr Greeley the largest majority of any State in the Union. [Applause.] I have great respect for the men who have redeemed her. I have great respect for the gallant men of all partiess who'have inangurated this great Liberal movement in this country, but I told him' to take kindly that New York will give a larger majority for Hor- j} ‘ace Greeley than all the votes which Mis souri shall cast. . [Tremendous cheering.]There is. another reason. I have heard ‘with regret that:the votes cagt:here this morning, - cast for a gentleman for whom I have ' the highest respect, but" which' seem to run counter to the general sentiment of the Democratic party. It is for that reason now that I say a word. I desire to make an appeal to the gentlemen who have cast their votes.. New York was a& Democratic State [great cheering] during the war. Half the time she hadaDemocratic Governdr,and five times since, by the great vote of . her people, she has elected a Democratic State ticket. Her legislative branch was lost at thé“election on local issues. The legislative power was 80 abused that the people will not-permit it to be lost again. Istand here, therefore, as the representative :of this Democratic State, living within her borders more than - 400,000 Democratic votes, and wheén we consent to sacrifice ‘the prejudices of ihe. ‘past, and lay all upon the common altar for the purpose of restoring peace and ‘harmony to our common ‘country, the voice of New York, we respectfully sub-. mit, is entitled to consideration, - We do not make this appeal for the sake of regaining power at home. We have that: already. Wewant toredeem the country. Weseen enthroned at Washington a power that is stretching its stropg arm all over the country, seeking to take into its grasp. not only all the powers of the Federal Government, but all rights of local Governments ; which' thrusts the military in the face of the judiciary; which suspends| the writ of habeas corpus,’ and which exercises everywhere tyrannical power. To evercome this central power,.the Democ. racy of New York, believing in her heart and soul that the welfare of the whole country demands thie selection of the candidates of the Cincinnati Convention and are willing to make 4 sacrifice of their own prejudices, and ask their friends from the other States to do the same. T castthe seventy votes of New Ycrk for Horace Greeley. [Renewed applause.] g = © The delegation from. Ohio, strong in faith that in November the vote of Ohio will be in favor of Horace Greeley; and now united in a'hearty good will, direct: me to cast the vote of Ohio, 44 in number, for Horace Greeley. [Applause] - = = ~ Tennessee : Mr. President, in less:than a week after the nomination of Horace Greelcy and B. Gratz Brown, at Cincinna: ti, the Democracy of Tenncssee assembled in convention. There was doubt and hesitancy throughout the Union us to what shpuld become.of the Democracy, when; the term Democracy, drawinginspiration irom the tomb of 'hermitage, took the -responsibility of declaring that it was the high duty of every patriot in the land to support the Cincinnati ticket. [Good, good.]° Tennessee was: the first to clasp the hand that was extended at Cin: cinnati, and it new, to-day, warmly repeatsd that clasp. Tenncssee, who has given three Presidents to the Union, casts her 24 votes for Greeley, of New York ; ‘and I desire to say to the gentleman from Missouri, to, the gentleman from New York, as Tennesse was the first o put the ball in motion, she proposes to contest with them and give the candidates of this conven - tion & larger majority than either.

M. el 2 e — L The Office-Holders’ Platform. _The platform of the bresd and butter brigade, recently assembled at Philadelphia, may pe found on the fourth page of this. issue. It is a high.sourding docu- - ment ; were it not that many of the principles enunciatéd have been persistently violated by the administration, its sincerity could not be so easily questioned. One: of the planks is in favor of civil service reform ; anothér to. abolish-the franking - privilege; another assuring us that the public lands’will not "be given away to -corporations. These are novelties. Ifthe party in power are in favor of these measures, why has it not adopted them? It bas not been because the power to do so was lacking. Of course not. Full possession of the government, for the last twelve years, is certainly time enough for any party to carry out its views. Wetake it, then, that these planks are mere elec - ‘tioneering declarations- hypocritical professions, - The plank approving “the action 6f Congress in extending amnesty to those lately in rebellion,” is thin, when ~we recollect that no steps, were taken to effect this object until after the Cincin~ nati convention demanded it. That part ~of the platform favoring “a tariff which ‘shall adjust duties so as to aid in securing remunerative wages to labor and promot- - ing the industry of the whole country,” is‘miserable sophistry. -“Duties are taxes, and taxes are Qurthens.* The idea that ‘the prosperity of the country can be secured by tazation, 1s ridiculous.” No tariff scheme is correct, except it be imposed in such a manner as fo secure the greatest ' revenue with the least oppression to the -people. The resolution relative to extend- - “ing bounties to soldiers, is senseless, fr()nq the fact that there is not the slightest objeetion to it, from any %uarte_x:. The claim of the Woodhulls,. Claflins, &c., is to be “treated with respectful consideration.” ' This is intended as a dig at the Cincinnati convention, or arises from a fear of the “bloomer brigade.” The platform says, that ‘“it is the duty of the general govern--ment-to adopt such measures as will tend to encourage: American commerce and - ship building.” If that is the case, how does it happen that the administration -has taken every step it possibly could to discourage this important interest? We -might go on and partictlarize, but the specimens we have already given are sufficient to show the utter insincerity of the platform builders. Having had a-chance to carry out the resolutions we have referred . -to, they have failéd to recognize a single one, with the exception ot continuing’ “bouaties to soldiers, and that one self-: preservation compelled them to abgerve. Platforms, as C. F'. Adams very truly says, cannot he considered in the light of proJession, but as to evecution. Had the execution of all the pretty resolves of the party in power;/ been faithfully complied “with ‘in the past, there would be no roem for doubt. Buat, as the case now stands, no reading man can. fail to perceive that the platform -is merely an artfully worded document to' secure votes.— Martinsville Gazette (Laberal Rep.) ,

Kerron the Greeley Avalanche. - Hon, M. C. Kerr started for New York on.the first inst. On his journey eastward he was- “interviewed” by a correspondent of the, Louisville Ledger, who reports the following : - > - “In the palace car, on the Short Line, to-day, I met. Hon. Mike C. Kerr, candidate ‘for Congress at large for the State of Indiana.” The honorable Michael is outspoken, outand out Greeley.-and believes the Democracy will carry his State by a large majority, electing Hendricks Governor. In reply to my query as to whether the thousands of the great unwashed, who have been voting for Andrew Jackeon all their natural lives, would support the Cincinnati ticket, he said, ‘Yes, they will go enthusiastically for Greeley, if he (Greeley) recieves the indorsement of the¢ Baltimore Conven. tion.! Kerr ig fully of the opinion the National Convention will indorse Greeley heartily, and urge strongly for the Demoeracy of the country to support him. He jexpressed the opinion, and seems to haye reasons satisfactory . to himself, that some twenty radical members of Congress will bolt the Grant concern upon the in: dorsement of Greeley by the Baltimere Convention.- He also. thinks that Greeley’s strength will be 80. overwhelmingly apparent that multitudes of Grant Radicals will leave the sinking ship, and go with the Liberals and Democrats. g
