We denounce all forms of repudiation as "national crimes, and the national honor requires -the payment of the .public indebtedness, .in the utmost good faith, to all creditors; at home and abraad, not only according to the Utter, but tbe spirit of the laws under which it was contracted. " ' ' "4. It is due to the labor of the nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as our national faith will permit.- ;! ' .; "5. The national debt, contracted as it has been for the preservation of the Union for all time to come should be extended over fair period for redemptionj and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of interest thereon, whenever H can honestly be done.' "6. That the best folicy to diminish our burden of debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek to loan as money at lower rates of interest than we now pay and most continue to pay so long as repudiation, partial or total, open or covert, Is threatened or suspected. 7. The Government of the United States should bo administered with the strictest economy, and tbe corruptions which bave been, so shamefully nursed and lostered by Andrew Johnson, call loudly for Radical reform.' -, . f . T , ,, "8. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret tbe accession of Andrew Johnson to the presidency, whohas acted treacherously to the people who elected him and the cause be was pledged to support; has usurped high legislative and judicial functions; has refused to execute the laws; has used his high officeto induce other officers to ignore and violate the laws ; has employed his executive powers to render insecure the property, peace, liberty and lile of the citizens; has abused the pardoning powers; has denounced the National Legislature aSUneohstittrtional; has persistently and corruptly, teeUted , by every, .measure in his power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction of tbe States lately in rebellion; has perverted , tbe public patronage into an engine of wholesale corruption, and has been justly impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and properly pronounced guilty inereoi oy ine voice i luiriY-uvo oeuamra.

Of all who were fa it I Jul in the trials of the late war, there were none entitled to more especiat honor than the brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of campaign and cruise, and imperiled their lives in the servioe' ' of the country.- The bonntiea and pensions provided, by law for. those brave soldiers of tbe nation, are obligations never to be forgotten. The widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation's protecting care " ' " "11.

u- "a-- Beech er on the Presidency. ""'- To the Editor1 of die Boston Daily 'Adhertiier : " I left Brooklyn on Monday, July C, but not ' before the World had published ' that I had, oa Sunday morning, in a political eereion come -out for Chase for the ;PresidenCT,;and agiBst Grant; and I have seen the story every day Since racing through the papers. ' There is not a word of truth in it.' The sermon was' not political, and it made no" allusion either to Grant or to Chase . , The application ef some of its paragraphs, in either direction, was the work of the reporter of the World, not mine. a I bare never. been a Chase man. I have lor years, as leader in public affairs deemed him, like his greenbacks, as promising more on the ; face than they are worth in gold. While the New York Independent was lauding .him as a demigod, and theSe w York Tribune, was using his name to obscure the. prospects of Grant, 1 heartily and openly disagreed withi'joth of them, -for I thoroughly liked Grant and thoroughly distrusted Chase.,; He .13 a , splendid man to iook upon but a poor man to lean upon. . Ambition lifts some men towaid things noble and good; makes them large and generous. Other men's'ambition blurs the sharp lines and dis-. tinctions between right and wrong, and leaves them, in the eagerness of over-selfish desires, to become a prey of bad men. I have for years felt that Mr. Chase's ambition was consuming the better elements of his nature. ;i : I have liked Grant from the first. Solid, .unpretentious, straightforward, apt to' succeed and not spoiled by 'success, wise in discerning jmen, skillful in using them, with, the xare gift (which Washington had in. an eminent degree) of wisdoui in getting wisdom from other men's counsels I confidently, anticipate that, , great as his military success has been, "he will bere after be known even more favorably for" the 'wisdom of his civil administration. '.-.i-i The seven-fold humiliations and recantations through which Chase was required to go for a Democratic nomination, only to see the smiling Seymour-Tooking benignly down upon his lost estate, has no parallel except in the immortal history of Eeipeke Fuchs. There will now be no third candidate between Grant and Seymourv It will be a fair fight between rugged honesty and p'ausable craft. " ''' . IlEKftv Waed Beeceier ; Boston, July 8th, 18G3. ''." . .. , ; ' 5 . .: .-Peace not Wanted. , , ... ; The following extract from a leading : article in the Mobile Register (edited by Forsyth, a Tammany delegate), is a fair sample which now animates ' the Southern Democracy the old war spirit to which Blair catered in his revolu-. tionary letter, and to which the Tammany Con vention has given new life and hope : "We scout the pretenses of the New York World that what is done, although done wrong fully, must be submitted to, and as the late and ambition of a KacUcal Congress have forced the principle of negro domination into our State systems, there is nd power consistent with oar own doctrine of Congressional non-intervention, to get rid of it. If that is the doctrine of the Democratic party (which, thank God! it is not) we have nothing praetically to choose between a Radical and a Democratic administration. Every true Democrat holds that : the entire batch of congressional legislation on the subject of Southern reconstruction is unconstitutional, and void in letter and spirit is, indeed,' nothing more nor less than an infliction of tyranny by force of arms. ' This indeed, with the question of black supremacy and black suffrage, which lie at the bottom of it, constitutes the great! distinctive issue between black Radical ism and white. Democracy in the pending con The New York Journal of Commerce, a Democratic sheet, thus pitches into both the plat form and Gov. Seymour. '. " "This is out and out repudiation of a solemn obligation as we understand it, to pay all ' of the bonded debt in gold. On ' the ' question of repudiation the democrats are boldly committed to the baser alternative,' and will reach the main advantage where the heresy is fully cher ished. There is no excuse for such a proposition. . It is both; wicked, and . disgraceful. The authors know very well, that tbe .money was borrowed with the express understanding that it was to be repaid in cojnrand that anything short of this is repudiation of a solemn cove nant. Governor Seymour has always warmly insisted on the obligation to pay the bonds 1 in gold. - The platform is the very opposite of his well-known views. How the two are to be reconciled it is not for us to decide." . . Why is the White House like a plate glass window? Because there is no need of opening it to Seymour.

His views are certainly somewhat subversive and ; terrific. , All accepted scientific achievements are treated with sublime scorn, though Ilerschel is called,, in a parenthesis, "an astronomer of merit" . It. is very entertaining to the unlearned minds, to find out from a foreign doctor, that all the great philosophers whose names we have revered from childhood have been one great party of stupid ignoramuses.! .However, the most startling portions of Trastour's physical predictions will not be realized within the time apprehended bj Cumming, so that the most timid need not be alarmed in reading such remarks as follow, upon changes of climates: ....... , "Climates are subject to extreme vi-. cissitude . In the northern hemisphere, the middle countries of Europe, Asia, and America, will , have, for centuries, a climate warmer than the' one actually in existence at the torrid zone. Both Paris and New Yoik will produce the flora with still greater vigor. These latitudes will next become uninhabitable. A bnrning heat will strike them with sterility and death. It will not rain again . on tho earth for thousands of j'ears, and the largest streams of water will be dried up." . The populations of the northern temperate zone, of the torrid zone, and of the southern hemi" sphere, will find no means of safety than by migrating , to the far north, to the regions of the icy zone; countries which will then have an annual spring, and boast excessive fertility. " It is announced that the Siamese twins, after living to foe fifty-nine years of agej and raising large faroilcs of children, have determined to hare the singular ligament which unites them severed by a- surgical operation. The reason assigned for.the act will be acknowledged to be a good one. The twins have reached the age when disease may be expected to attack the system, and being at this moment in a physically healthy condition, are naturally apprehensive that the one may communicate disease to the other,) which will prove fatal to both. The ligamont uniting the twins is situated near the vital organs, and by lapse of time has been developed into a hardened, iutegumental link, by means of which such sensations and impress sions are conveyed from one to the other that a perfect phyisicil unity is established between them. Will the severance of this bond prove a harmless operation, as for instance the amputation of a foot or hand,' from which each will readily recover? ' Or will it prove fatal to both? The subject was discussed in the Academy of Physicians and Surgeons in Paris many years ago, but in consequence of the very diverse opinions expressed no attempt was made to perform the operation. . j ; ...
