The National Danner,

THE WAGERS: - Some years ago I took my seat in the diligence from Marseilles to F——. The railway that now connects those cities was not contemplated. _ There were five passengers in all.— Of these one was a short, fat man, with smooth cheeks and a red face.— Though plainly dressed, his clothes were very good; he had a great number of rings on his fingers, and across his waistcoat he wore a thick gold chain, which he was careful to let me see was attached to a ‘handsome watch, on the back.of which was a crest in jewels. L - There was no doubt he was a rich man and that I, at all events, might haveé no doubt of it, he informed me that his income exceeded fifty thousand - francs a year, and that he bid fair to double it before five years were gone,so prosperous was his business. - : : I was partly amused and partly disgusted by his loquacity. Why he should have made a confidant of me in particular I don’t know. Among other bits of information he gave me to know that this was the first holiday he had indulged himself with for three years. . . “Where do you get out ?” I inquired. “At F——" he said. ; o “But why do. you go so far from Marseilles for a holiday ?” I asked. “Monsieur,” he answered, “I am going to get married.” 5 : © “The deuce!” I exclaimed, laughing; “and you call that taking a holiday ?” “Why,” said he, “that would depend. If I were going to marry an ugly woman, now, I should call_this day by another name. But my friend, the lady I am engaged to is an angel; sir, she might have set for one of Mahomet’s houris. Iler eyes—.” Here he went off into a long account of his' mistress’s perfections, decorating his fluent description with all manner of shrugs, grimaces, and gesticulations. “You are a very fortunate man, sir,” said I, “and I, wish you joy.” '/ ; “Yes, you may wish the lady joy, too, and congratulate her as well; for give. me leave to say it is not every woman who has the luck to meet with such a husband who unites to the splendors of wealth the accomplishments of genius and graces of eourage.” I smothered a laugh. ’ “So you have genius and courage as well as money.” , He nodded vehemently.

“Without boasting,” said he, “I think I may pride myself on being possessed of all the qualifications that recommend a man to the ladies. “So long as they are sufficient to.recommend you to thelady of your choice, you should be satisfied.” [t . “They should be satisfied,” he replied, “and in my own mind I am persuaded that they are sufficient; but, though the young lady is beautiful as an houri, I regret to say she is rather peérversed in her taste, so that for a long time I could hardly make any headway in her affections. Indeed, she was weak minded enough to avow a preference for a cousin of hers, a young lieutenant—a beggar, sir, and a mighty-impudent dog to boot ~What she could see in him I could never tell. T’ll allow that his nose is st_lﬁ‘a}gl’lt.,his eyes good, and his teeth white and regular, but what is the use -of thege things in a man without money ?” . “To be sure,” said I drowsily, for the day was warm, and the tendency to sleep was aggravated by my droning companion,. - / “T’'ll be perfectly frank with you,” he continued, “and confess that T don’t think she would ever jaccepted me, had it not” been for her ‘father, who is-a poor man, and is very eager to have me for a son-in-law, thinking 1 shall pay off his debtsi I wish he may get it!. I've allowed him to think anything he/ likes, for his thinking cost me nothing and being anxious to wed the girl, who I declare to you is beautiful—" B And here he went off again into another long description, which he liberally garnished, as before, with shrugs and grimaces. I ; & “Then you don’t care about her love?” said I, dreamily. | “Not a fig,” he answered—*not a fig, I only want her. At my time of life, sir; we know the hypocrisy of love—how easily it is to be counterfeited. I have a ring at home, with a ﬁpasi:e stone in it. I declare to you it flashes like a diamond and is thought as costly as the real stones I wear. So with love. The counterfeit passes for the real, ninety-nine times in the hundred, and though I'll own ‘I would rather have the real, if I can’t get it I should be just as well satisfied with the sham.” He then branched off inﬁo some very cynical remarks on the nature of love, which however, I am ashamed to say I do not remember, as I fell sound asleep very shortly after he commenced them. |

I was awakened by the diligence stopping at the Golden ILion inn, in the prinecipal street of F-—— The fat, red-faced babbler, who it seems had been awake during the whole journey, and had been boring a mild looking gentleman who- sat opposite him when he had found me asleep, got-out, and I followed him. . .. He pulled his wateh out, .which sparkled most gorgeously as it took the sun’s rays, and exclaimed turning to me—" . : “A quarter to'four, sir.| Half an hour after.” : ‘ “I’ll bet you that It’s not,” said a gentleman with a fierce moustache, who stood smoking a cigar before the door of the low roofed apartment. “I should know,” said the little redfaced man, turning sharply upon him, “for this is one of Leroy’s best watches. It cost two thousand francs.”! “I’ll bet you ten louis that it is not one of ILeroy’s watches,” said the moustached smoker coolly. The red-faced man' shrugged his shoulders, and went into the travelers’ room, saying to me—- “ Don’t dine here. ‘We can do better at a cafe.” : “I’'ll wager you the value of the watch that the wateh is worth nothing, and if you win you will receive what you will not find it worth your while to take,” said the gentleman with the moustache. following us. “I did not address my remarks to you; sir v o= Sy “I’ll bet you that you did,” said the other with the most provoking coolBOBRy ) s 5 e b i The little man, amazed bwhis persecution, touched his forehead to signify that the gentleman with the moustache was mad. : i “I'll bet you don’t prove that 'm mad,” said the other. sl . There was a pause. They looked like two dogs waiting to be 'slipped for a fight. b | “Upon my word,” said the red-faced man, “I know nothing of this fellow. Heis a most impudent rasct{l,.}who-'

I ever he is; and I have a good mind to make him mareh off.” o “I’ll make you any bet you like you don’t make me march off!” exclaimed the other, pulling his moustache, “and I’ll further bet anything you like that I make you take the road bazk to %’aris, and that too without any delay.” The liftle man, whose face was now a deep crimson with rage, blurtg‘ out: . “You won’t find that a very| easy n;m%ter, for I came here to get marM. : i “One hundred Napoleons you do not marry!” ‘ - “Sir, you are an impertinent. scoundrel, and I will pull your nose.” - »“'l’ll make you any bet you like, you Hiel ! | | - The little man stamped with rage. He glared around him for some mo- . ments in silence, then exclaimed ;— “Do you want me to shoot you f?" 5 “I’ll bet you don’t shoot me!” | | - “Where can we procure pist@ls o exclaimed the red-faced man breathing very short, cod “The landlord will accommeodate us?”’ S

- He hurried into the house and lEeap—peared with a box containing a brace of pistols.” L ‘T had hitherto treated the affair as a joke, laughing in my sleeve at the red-faced man’s rage, and the ogher’s cool insolence. But I thought it was time now to interpose. : : “Gentlemen.” - o But the moustached man turned upon me| with a frown. A “I believe this gentleman to be a coward, sir,” said he, “and if yqu interfere I shall conclude that you are conspiring to prevent him from proving himself a coward.” ; I said no more, but followed the two men to a lonely spot in the park, where the' cigar hero was saluted by an officer of the garrison, who expressed a willingness -to become his second. L Having loaded pistols, we piaced the men. It was agreed I should give the signal, which was to throw & five franc piece in the air. e / My position was a peculiarly disagreeable one. Up to the last moment I had.believed that the whole business was rather a cruel practical joke on the part of the" man with the moustache, and as my curiosity was excited. to follow adventure to its conclusion, I had volunteered to be the red-faced man’s second, but it seemed now that one or the other or both, must be killed. : |

“Sir,” said the man with the cigar turning to me, “I believe Masten Jacques to be an*honest man, but though I can vouch for his wine, I can’t vouch for his pistols. Beéfore that gentleman and I make a target of one another, be so good as to throw that five franc piece in the air, to see how my pistol carries.” = L I did as desired, and tossed the money about seven yards high. I heard the report of a pistol, and the piece of money fell indented. “Bet,” said the man with the moustache, “that T pierce that leaf vibrating from the extremity of yonder bough.” | And before the other could answer, the trigger was pulled and the leaf was vierced. ‘ ; “Bet,” eontinued the man, with the most ridiculous coolness, “that T shoot you clean through the pupil of the left eye, and lay you dead, and- that you miss me.” ' : » The other was as white as a ghost. © “I believe you,” he said, trembling. from head to foot and throwing his pistol down, “I guess your motives and admire your stratagem, and; as I am not prepared to die, I shall take the road back again to Marseilles,” In fact, we saw him deposit himself in the imperiale of the diligence. I turned to the moustacheéd gentleman and called for an explanation.— He invited me to take a glass of wine: with him:in the travelers’ room, and with great good humor proceeded to solve the enigma. - ' i Ile was a friend of the young ljeutenant, and famous as the most deadly shot in Franece. -He had received a letter the day before from his friend, begging him to come to F———and help to carry out a ruse which he trusted would enable him to marry the girl he was passionately in love with. Ly o The moustached ~gentleman complied, left Paris, and reached;F——in time to receive from his friehd’s lips particulars of the stratagem ‘he and the young girl had concerted between them. A e The stratagem was perfectly successful. The little red-faced man, as I afterward heard, on his reaching Marseilles, wrote to the father of his intended ‘bride, ‘apologizing for not having been able to keep his promise to.go down to them: You may beHeve he took good care not to inform the father of the real reason that had prevented him from paying his duties to his betrothed. _ ‘i The red-faced man, however, had no intention of breaking off his marriage, until he was accosted one morning in the streets of Marseilles by.the moustached gentleman, who asked if ‘he still persistéd in the intention to marry the young lady. ‘ ‘* ;. “Certainly,” was the reply. | “Then,” said the other, “if you want to reach her hand you will have to mount first on my dead body, and secondly, on the dead body of the lieutenant.

‘ OHIO POLITICS. Proceedingls of the Two Conventions. THE NEW PARTY CONVENTION, | composed of New Departure Democrats and Liberal Republi{;ana, met in State Convention on the 30th of July, in the city of Columbus. About forty counties were represented. . Before the convention assembled, the Liberal Repuhlicans held a caucus and resolved to disband their organization. by the ‘adoption of the following declaration: Resolved, That we heartily join with the Democrats of Allen county and all others who may choose to participate this day to form a new pm;tg', to deal with the leading issues of the day,and unite with them in the adoption of a %laé;fgrm and the nomination of a full cket. e

- The convention proper was called to order by the Hon. T. E. Cunningham, of Allen county, who spoke as follows: - b ; : MR. CUNNINGHAM'S SPEECH. - Fellow-Citizens :—As the presiding ~officer of the Allen County Convention, at which the call for this assembly originated, I take the liberty of calling you to order. N A The immediate presence of a great pub_lic peril alone justifies. the extraordinary movement which had its first public avowal at Lima on the 16th of June. o, S 2 : . Men are devoted to their political parties. We have been accustomed to give expression to our wishés touching public affairs by means of party conventions, and have patiently bided the triumph of our friends for the realization of our hopes.: But extraordinary evils require, extraordinary remedies; and we know that under the eyes of the two great politieal parties corruption in dreadful proportions has sprung up and flourished; and we know that they have been powerless to prevent it. The man has again gone dowa to Jericho and ‘has fallen anmong thieves. They have stripped him:' and wounded him; but unlike the thieves in the olden time, they have not left their victim. We know that corruption and-demoralization exist in nearly every department of the Government, and that they are increasing; we know that it is in vain to look for a remedy to either of the great political parties, for one will not aid us, and the other cannot if it would. [Applause.]- We know there can be no good government when corruption and misrule prevail, and that the very existence of free institutions is in danger; we know, too, that the people have the remedy in their own hands. And, being persuaded that every instinct of patriotism demands that the people shall assert their rightful supremacy and resume government, we have met without respect to past differences upon dead issues, and we propose in inaugurating this new movement to acknowledge fealty only to God and country. [Applause.] It is a fact that for years the peoplehave been substantially out of power. Rings sitting at the receipt of customs; rings in halls of legislation; rings in the corridors of all our capitals; rings in the railroads, and rings in the public domain. In Congress, in the State Legislatures, . around the executive: officers, in the party conventions—everywhere the political avenues are crowded with men who do the bidding of-the rings—so that, as a whole, the good men of the country are as absolutely exeluded from the direction of public affairs as if they were prohibited by a constitutional provision.— There are some good men in public places, but they are powerless. There are good men of both parties .in the Senate of the United States, but they are too feeble in numbers to hinder the mean acts of the majority. There are good men of both parties in the House of Representatives, but the only affirmative proposition that General Butler was ever known toecarry thro’ was the salary steal, by which the Treasury was robbed of more than a million in money. ’ ; . Parties, as mnow constituted, no longer serve the purpuse of public challengers. Party rivalries no longer conduce to purity in the public service ; but, on the contrary, beach is so much .of a fortification into which the robbers retreat with their plunder, relying upon its guns, shotted by the trained bands, to shoot dowli the robbed people who irregularly complain of the outrage, and who, in the agony of their shame, forget that they must be partisans and remember only that ‘they are citizens. [Applause.] e - And now, for the purpose of temporary organization, allow me to name for Temporary President one of Ohio’s grand men—Senator George E. Pugh. [Loud and prolonged applause.]

“ . SPEECH BY HON. GEO. E. PUGI.; Mr. Pugh was received with great applause as he advanced to the speaker’s stand. It was some time before order could be restored enough for him to be heard, but as soon as this could be done he spoke as follows: « . My Fellow-Citizens:—Much as I should like to address you at length the feebleness of my health forbids it. I thank you for the honor of being called upon to preside over this body temporarily, and I expect to surrender the trust in a very few moments to one much more capable of pertorming its duties. It seems hardly necessary for me to do more than express my eoncurrence in the very able and eloquent speech delivered by our friend from Allen: [Applause.] Gentlemen, I have been a Democrat of the firmest school ever since I had a vote. When 1 see, however, that into my party as well as into the opposition party, has ' crept that corruption which is eating out the life of the people, for ome I can forego all partisan prejudices and preferences and unite with the houest men. of Ohio in adeclaration that with us at least stealing shall be no longer respected. [Applause.] Wherever we look it is the same. In the government of the nation, in the govérnment of our State, in the government of our counties, in the government of our cities and towns, the people are taxed and burdened almost to death, and it is not for the purpose of legitimate govérnment, but in ‘order that a few men comparatively may be rich at the expense of the great body of producers. [Applause.] Our lands are given away by millions of acres instead of being retained either for the actual settlers or to supply some portion of the means for redeeming our public debt. Everywhere, in corporations, railroads, banks, ~insurance -companies, it seems .that when men _get elected to these offices, instead of regarding the rights of share-holders, or depositors, or the people at large, the first chapter with them is to steal all the assetts. [Applause.] So it is in our Legislatures, State and Nation‘al. 'When a constituent complains to Mr. Benjami F. Butler of a vote given wherebv money was abstracted from the Treasury, he gets the insolent answer that his share of the plunder was three cents, and. he is treated to fhe inclesure of a postage stamip. My fellow~eitizens, the question is, whether any remedy can be proposed? We know what the evil is. We have come _here to devise a remedy, if oné can he devised; and it is an urgent case—urgent for the people of our State, urgent for the example of the people of other States. Itis a case for an extreme corrective. . The whole head is faint and the whole heart is sick, [Ap- | plausea : ; e Gentlemen, as I said, beside the feebleness of my health, I am s 0 unac!.eustqmd.ﬁo speaking except in courts that I shall now take my seat in the ‘chair with a renewal of my thanks for ‘the honor you have conferred. [Applause.] o ‘

After the delivery of an able, and somewhat humorous speech by Judge W.B.CALDWELL, of Cincinnati, (whom the Enguirer urged so strongly for the straight-out democratic nomination' for Governor,) the convention took a recess until two o’clock. Upon re-assembling, NOorRTON S. TOWNSEND, of Wayne county, President of the State Agricultural College, was elected permanent Chairman, with the usual number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. - : '

' " THE PLATFORM. Resolved, That we declare against the infallibility of party; that when the convention or caucus fails to present fit condidates for office it is the high ‘privilege as well as the bounden duty of all good citizens to withhold their votes from such candidates, and regardless of party affiliations to sup-. port the best men presented for official . positions. v ; o 2. That both the Republican and the Democratic parties have outlived the issues in which they had their origin, and have outlived their usefulness, and a new organization of parties 'is demanded in the interests of the public welfare. : ; | ~ 3. That the Republican party,' having the control of both branclies of Congress and of the Executive Department, it is directly responsible for the legislation known as the salary grab; for the squandering of the public lands in grants to private corporations; for the release of railroads from their just obligations to the Government, and other manifestations of corruption as developed by the Credit Mobilier and . other investigdtions, and that those members of the Democratic party who have aided or acquiesced in such legislation equally deserve public condemnation. | 4. That we believe that the fundamental purpose of government is the | protection of persons and property, and not the meddling with and regu- ‘ lation of the business, industry or consciences of its citizens, nor the assumption of such works by federal, ‘ State or munmicipal governments as may safely and should properly be left to individual enterprise. . 5. That corruption can be successfully combatted only by the removal or lessening of temptation; we are in favor of a reduction of the: functions now exercised by the Government, and a consequent diminution of the Government Bureaus and officials, believing, as we do, that .a continually increasing army of _federal 'officers is an evil increasing in danger as the country grows. e : 6. That grants of subsidies in land or money, and of speeial privileges and exemptions to National-Banks and other great moneyed corporations, and all fostering of monopolies at the expense of the whole people, are unjust and oppressive.. ‘ - , 7. Thatthe practice of electing stockholders and officers of National Banks to seats in %@gress, whereby the great gains of continued irredeemable paper money are secured to those institutions by the votes of .interested parties, is a national seandal, which deserves the condemnation iof every ‘good citizen, and ought to be prevented by the proper legislation. ; 8. That we insist upon a strict observance by the General Government of the constitutional limitations of its power, and we demand home government in all local affairs. . 9. We believe that the business of the Government should be transacted on the same principles that regulate the business of private-individuals; ~we believe;therefore, that the appointment of subordinate officers should depend upon their qualifications, and that their tenure should depend upon their fitness and efliciency, and in this respect a return to the practice of the early days of the Republic is highly desirable and necessary. ‘ 10. That duties on imports, as long as such duties are necessary, should be imposed for purposes of revenue only, and not for the purpose of benefiting or enriching private individuals or companies, or favoring particular ‘branches of industry at the expense of ‘the whole people. : 11, That it is the duty of the Government to repeal all laws that favor capital to the prejudice of labor. = .

The Unterrified Democracy Aroused. The action of the 30th of July convention seems to have produced an exciting effect upon that portion of the Democracy which repels with indigaation and scorn all propositions for the ab':mdonment of the democratic name and organization. Aroused by the enthusiastic. appeals of the democratic press, an unusually large attendance of delegates wfas secured for the straight-out democratic convention, which assembled at Columbus oh the 6th of August. Aééorcl%ng toan Enquirer special “it has been many a year since Ohio turned out such an assemblage of the people as was gathered at the Co}i&mbus Opera-house. for the purpose of putting in nomination a State Democratic ticket. Not a county in the State but had its delegation present; scarce a village township but had its representative on hand to raise his voice in favor of a return to the patriotic principles of the earlier republic and against the official corruption, the mal-government, the abuses of power and the general dereliction of the party that now holds the reins ‘of government. It was emphathically an uprising of the people, who felt that the turn had come for them to assert. their authority.” ol The convention was called to order by Hon. John G. Thompson, chairman

No. 16. .

of the executive committee, on whose motion Hon. SAMUEL F. HuUNT, of Cincinnati, was -chosen temporary chairman. . Mr. Hunt, upon taking the chair, spoke as followsg: ... = o 2 SPEECH OF HON. SAMUEL ¥, HUNT.: GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: I appreciate the distinguished compliment of having been called upon to preside over the deliberations ofithis body. It is a recognition which assures me of the generous confidence of the Democraey of Ohio.. =% " = We have assembled to-day as a Convention with a constituency. In everycounty, in'every township, in every school district, in this - great State, there are hearts that beat in sympathy with the work of this hour. [Applause.} A party is not .a creation; it is a growth. It is mnot of to-day, but of yesterday and to-meorrow. - It must have a belief, a creed; a purpose, a destiny. It must arise in themecessities of thestime. There must be either a great grievance to be redressed ora great principle to be established. .

~ The Democratic party is the outgrowth of that feeling of insecurity; which the old Federal party inspired’ when it manifested a tendency for a centralized Government, ~ and when it sympathized more with: power than ‘with the people. With it the National question. of unity is based: upon the interngrquestion_of Hberty. With it Statehood is civil freedom and. centralization is political despotism.— It maintains that the State can:only. be preserved in the integrity of its own seperate existence by a strictcon= struction of the powers of the General Government, by the exercises of an’ enlarged spirit of nationality. It cherishes the faith of the. fathers, and teaches fidelity to:the Union, fidelity: to the Constitution, fidelity to the rights of the States [applause,] fidelity to the rights of thecitizen, It insists: that the .only way: to ‘maintain -the . Government is through .the State~—the only way to preserve the State is thro’ the citizen—the; only way to protect. the citizen is through equity and: jus- l tice to all men. [Applause.] -In the State it is the party of people against power—in the Union it is the party of local self-government against consolidation. Its teachings are so broad in their application—so. beneficent’ in their influence—so comprehensive in tlieir patriotism that they embrace the whole country. [Applause.]: - ‘With every-English jurist and states--man from the first year of the reign: ‘Edward 111., when tlie Parliament of England reversed the attainder of the Earl of Lanchester because he could have been tried by the peers’ of the realm, it has contended for:the rights of the citizen against arbitrary arrest. It stood forth in the full glory of its manhood when the supreme tribunal of the land indicated-its position by declaring that -when the Courts are open it is a time of peace in judgment and in law. [Applause.[ .. These principles have not outlived: their usefulness. They were born for the whole life of the Nation—for the whole day, of liberty. = They will maintain their vigor and power so. long as the States have free governments and the Union ~shall -be a free Republie. They will perish only with the constitution it--gelf. “[Applause =.. pian oel

It has been well said that for more than'two generations of men this party largely ruled the States and Nation, and bravely and honesty met evet ry great question of prineiple and poli¢y without once changing its name or striking its color. = [Applause;] It is the truth of ‘history: that when it no longer retained power the calamity, ‘of civil war came upon the country, and the scandal.of Credit Mobilier. and corrupt and iniquitous legisldtion dishonored the halls of Congress. .It now demands, in the name of all the peopie, a thorough reform in Governmental affairs.” It now demands peace and order and stability of Government in all parts of the land, and adopts for its policy the teachings of history and philosophy by believing with Edmund Burke that Providence has décreed vexation to tyrants and poverty to rapine, and that by econsidering their fellow-citizens in a hostile light, the. - whole body of the nation becomes less ‘dear tous. ' [Cheers} - 1 U 0 r . That party appeals to us to-day for our confidence with its long and glorious history of the: better days of the. “Republic; with its ancient and abiding love for our free institutions; with its continued devotion .to the principles of constitutional liberty, and the privileges of the citizen with its faithful adherence to the rights of ‘the States, and the maintenance of Federal ':mﬁ)ority under the Constitution, and with its teachings of patriotism and statesmanship that have contributed so much to. National henor and: material prosperity, and which. can alone secure the blessings of good gov-. ernment. [Applause.] Shall = this grand old army—inspired by the memories ‘of splendid triutaphs and great achievements, bo@ind together by the recollection of trials and defeats suffered in common—animated by the consciousness of justice andright, and ultimate victory, abandon the field in the very face of the enemy ? Shall we fold the old war-worn: flags with a hundred batfles inseribed’ upon them when-defeat was not'less honorahle than success, and put themaway forever? Shall the dust of the. arsenal gather upon the drums-that have so often beaten the long roll?—: Shall we no longer answer thedugle call, where on every field in other days, every man like the heroes of Trafalgar was found ready to-do'his duty? [Tremendous applause.] = . The .old Guard may die, but it cannot surrender. [Applause.] Let us then call in every recruit; let us close up the columns; let us no longermark time but march forward; and let us, with stout hearts and brave resolves, and with an abiding faith under the same old flag, charge along the line for the anthority of law, for the peace of our sfreets and for the happiness: of our homes, A permanent organization was perfected by the election ;of-‘ Gen.\V H.: BALL, of Muskingum county; as Pres-. ident, and the usual number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. .-

THE PLATFORM. ./ . = Resolved, That the Democratie party seeks t 0 revive no dead issues, but stands by its principles, which ave suited to all times and circumstances; it supports the Federal Government in all its constitutional authority, and opposes nullification and'secession. It defends the reserved rights of the States and the people,” and opposes centralization: that would impair or destroy them. 'ln orter to maintain ahd preserve these rights it -i,m up= on a strict construction of the Federal Constitution ; it resists.all attempts of one department of the Goyernment. to usurp or destroy "thb“oonstimi% rights or independence of other departments; it opposes all interference by law with private affairs or business

of ‘men, not. required by the public . peace or safety, and’advocates the greatest individual liberty congistent with public: mggg ; it believes in the capacity of the people for self-govern-ment, and opposes all property qualifications -as eonditions to the right of ‘suffrage or eligibility to hold oéce; it favors-liberal laws for the naturaliza= ‘tion of foreigners ; it insists upog-equal - _and exact justice to all men;it &gg%ses ' ‘all monopolies, ant denies’ that it is within the province of the Governs. ment to legislate for the benefit of particular classes -at the expense and to the detriment of the rest of the community; it therefore opposes the system by which a large portion of the profit-producing wealth of the country . is exempted from taxation, and demands that all constitutional means be used to remedy this injustice; it insists that our tariff laws should be framed with a view to revenue, and not to tax the community for the benefit of particular industries; it recog- - nizes the evils of an irredeemable cur-rency,-but insists that in the return to. - specie payments care shall be taken not to serionsly disturb the business of'the country or unjustly injure the debtor class; it appreciates the benefits - conferred by railroads, but opposes all combinations of railread companies to prevent eompetition and thus enhance the cost of transportation; it opposes adl -laws that give to capital any ad-. vantage over labor; it requires hones- * ty and economy in every: department of Government, Federal or State, and - it’‘condemns corruption, whoever may . be the guilty parties. It is in its very nature, and as a necessary result of its principles, a party of progress, and supports all measures of reform and improvement that are sanctioned by justice and commended by sound prac- ' . tieal wisdom. L Resolved, That the wealth of the country is the product of its labor, and ‘the best use of capital is that which gives emiployment and liberal wages, to the producing classes; hence every just measure that tends to protect them from oppression; and to improve their condition and dignify their call- . ing, deserves and receives our sympathy and support, and that we cordially recommend the conservative resolutions adopted at the recent National Labor Congress at Cleveland, favoring -arbitration -and co-operation. - ‘Resolved, That, although alwayscon-stituting-a large majority of the Amer- ° ican people, agriculturists have never demanded of Government, State or Federal, any special privilege; have — never infested Halls of Congress or Legislatures with lobbyists and-rings, but, on-the eontrary, have suffered under discriminating and unjust laws untik forbearance has ceased to be a virtue; we hereby pledge our sineere and honest efforts to obtain for them redress of ‘grievances and equal and exact justice. , e

. Resolved; That the public lands should be sacredly reserved foriactual: gettlers; who will dwell upon and cultivate them, and that we will continue tosdenounce and' oppose, as we have always denounced and opposed, all gitts of such lands by the Government to incorporated companies. = - Resolved, That the greatest danger - to-free institutions is the wide-spread corruption! that threatens utter detruction to public virtue; when Credit Mobilier frauds pass ‘“unpunished; “when those engaged in! them are elevated to high official position; when seats in the Federal Senate are notoriously purchased; when vast sums of money are corruptly employed in popqular elections; when an army of officeholders ~with the sanction of the- - use their official influence to control elections; when bribery of : Custom-house officials is an established usage; when rings of plunderers are -the recipients of millions of money appropriated for public use; when official defaleations are of such frequent: occurrence as scarcely to excite attention; when Presidential pardons relieve defaulters from deserved punJishment, . and Presidential appointments reward Credit - Mobilier and salary-grabbing Congressmen, and when Congressional investigation is generally a white-washing affair, it is ‘not strange that- men begin to lose confidence in free institutions, and that ‘ the fame of the great Republic is tar‘nished throughout the givilized world. To remedy these evils, we insist that ‘the receipts and expenditures of the ‘Government shall be diminished; that its patronage shall be curtailed and all useless offices abolished ; -that it shall ‘cease to usurp functions to which ifi has-no title; that official misconduet and fraud and corruption in elections shall be r'igorously punished, and that ; public virtue shall be upheld, and want, of it condemned, by the united voice of-the people. = . ' = i G - Resolved, That we condemn, without . reserve, the late act of Congress grant- - ing additional salaries,. as unjust and unjustifiable, and demand its imme-. diate and unconditional repeal, and wé ‘denounce every member of Congress, whether Republican or Democrat, who'. supported the law or received and re‘tained the money procured thereby; ~and we especially denounce the. con‘duct of President Grant in using the ‘influence of his high position for its ‘passage, and whose official signature made it a law. ke .

Resolved, That the act of the President in setting up by bayonet a Government in Louisiana, not.chosen by her people, and having no title whatevér to rule over them, was a flagrant violation of her rights and of the Federal Constitution, - ~ Resolved, That every Department of ‘Government being in the hands of the Republican party, they are jusfly responsible for the evils and wrongs'in the legislation and- administration of which the country complains. - Resolved, That, under the time-hon-oréd Democratic banner, with this declaration of prineiples- inseribed on its folds, we engage in the conflict, and we earnestly appeal to patriotiec men of every-class, without regard to party names or past difference, to unite with us-on terms of perfect equality in the struggle to ‘rescue the Government from the hands of dishonest men, and redeem it from the flood of corruption -which thréatens its ruin. = s THE TICKET. . .
