We congratulate the country on the assured success of the reconstruction policy of Congress, as erinced by the adoption, in a majority of the States lately in rebellion, of constitutions securing: equal "civil and political rights to all; and we regard it as the duty of the Gorernment to sustain those institutions, and to prerent the people of such States from being remitted to a state of anarchy. "2. The guarantee by Congress of equal suffrage to all loyal men in the South was demanded by every consideration of public safety, of gratitude and of justice, and must be maintained; while the question of suffrage In all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of those States. - "3. 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 borne and abraad, not only according to the latter, but the 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 aa 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 a fair period for redemption; and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of interest thereon, whenever it can honestly be done. "6. That the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is to so improve Our credit that capitalists will seek to loan us money at lower rates of interest than we now pay and must 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 be administered with the strictest economy, and the corruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and iostered by Andrew Johnson, call loudly for Radical reform. ' "8. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of Andrew Johnson to the presidency, who has acted treacherously to the people who elected him and the - cause he was pledged to support; has usurped high legislative and judicial functions; has refused to execute the laws; has used his high office to induce other officers to ignore and violate the laws; has employed his executive powers to render insecure the property, peace, liberty and lite of the citizens: has abused the pardoning powers; has denounced the National Legislature as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly resisted by every measure in his power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in rebellion; has perverted the public patronage into an engine of wholesale corruption, and has been justly impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and properly pronounced guilty thereof hv the voice of thirtv-five Senators. "9. The doctrine of Great Britain and other Euro- j pean Powers, that because a man is once a subject he is alwavs so, must be resisted at every hazard by the ' United States, as a relic of the feudal time, not au--; thorized by the law of nations, and at war with our ' national honor and independence, naturalized citizens . being entitled to be protected in all their rights of ctiizenship, as though they were natural born, and no cttizen of the United States, natural or naturalized must be fiable to arrest and imprisonment by any foreign power for acts done or words spoken in this country; and if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the duty oi the Government to interfere in bis behalf. - J "10. Of all who were faithful in the trials of the I late war, there were none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of campaign and cruise, and imperiled their lives in the service of the country. The bounties and pensions provided by law for those brave soldiers of the 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 Mll. Foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth and development of the resources and increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of al! nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy. a12. This convention declares its sympathy with all the oppressed people who are struggling for their rights." "Betotved, That we highly commend the spirit of magnanimity and forgiveness with which men who have served the rebellion, but now frankly and honestly co-operate with us in restoring the peace of the country, and reconstructing the Southern State governments upon the basis of impartial justice and equal rights, are received back into the communion of the loyal people, and we favor the removal of the disqualifications and restrictions imposed upon the late reb- ' els in the same measure as the spirit of loyalty will direct, as may be consistent with the safety of the loyal people. ... " Resolved, That we recognize the great principles laid down in the immortal Declaration of Independence as the true foundation of democratic govern- . ment ; and we hail with gladness every effort toward making these principles a living reality on every inch of American soil." The Democratic Platform. "There is but one way in restore the Government ' and the Constitution, and that is for the President elect to declare these acts (the laws passed by Congress reconstructing the Rebel States,) NULL AND . VOID, compel the army to undo its usurpations at the South, disperse the carpet-bag State Govero- ' ments, allow the white people to reorganize their own governments and elect Senators and Representatives. This is the REAL AND ONLY QUESTION WHICH WB SHOULD ALLOW TO CONTROL . US.: Shall we submit to the usurpations by by which the Government has been overthrown, or shall we exert ourselves for its full and complete restoration! It U idle to talk .. of Bond, Ortenbaekt, Gold, ike Public Faith, and the public Credit." Frank Blair, Democratic candidate for Vice President. . . "When the resolutions offered by the Senator from Maryland, which declared that the rights of suffrage belonged to the political powers of a State, were being considered, I begged to add a few simple words. will find embodied in the platform, and added to them, "and we declare thnt the Reconstruction .

THE NATIONAL OBLIGATIONS. Important Letter from Treasurer Spinner. . The following . important correspondence has just been made public : LKTTSB FROM A CITIZEN OF BOSTON TO TUB HON. F. E. SPINNER. ? V Boston, Aug. 1, 1868. T Bon, P. E. Spinner, Treaturer of Ae United State i Sib : I have read with great care a recent , dedate in Congress upon, the funding of the debt of the United States. From the general tenor of this debate I should infer that there were no obligations of the United States of any magnitude outstanding of. which the holders are entitled to demand payment. I also infer that the Treasury is incumbered with a large amount of gold, which I suppose is in the form of dollars, and which it is desirable for the United States to disburse in a proper manner. I inclose a note of the United States which reads as follows : "The United States promise to pay to the bearer Ten Dollars. Washington, March 10, 1862." This note forms a portion of the debt of the United States, represented by what are called greenbacks The amount of the debt represented by these notes is $356,000,000. If I understand the tenor of the promise, these notes are al due on demand, and are payable in dollars. The only dollar known in law, in fact, with which this note can be paid, is the coin established by law as the dollar of the United States. I now demand payment of the inclosed note in gold dollars, according to the promise thereof, which is certified by your signature. Yours, respectfully, KBPLT OF THK HON. J. E. SPINNER.

TBBASUaT OF THE U. S Washington, Aug. 16, 1868. Sie : Your letter of the 1st inst. reached me several days since. ' 111 health and n pressure of official business prevented an earlier answer. My office is simply executive. I have no power save to carry out the rnandates qf law, as passed by Congress. By the acts of February 25 and July 11, 1863, the note on which you demand 'payment in gold' is made a 'lawful money and a legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, within the United States, except duties on imports and interest upon bonds.' In the absence of judicial decisions against the constitutionality of these laws, I am constrained to obey them in their letter and spirit. Your demand for 'payment in gold' is therefore refused. : Now, as the giving of one irredeemable obligation for another, as has been proposed for the redemption of the public debt, is no payment at all, I herewith return you the same note that you sent me ; thus prefering to admit the present unwillingness or inability of the Government to pay, to the miserable subterfuge of tendering you other irredeemable paper in exchange for that which you present me for payment. Tbis unhappy condition of monetary affairs was perhaps unavoidable when it was adopted, and for several years after. It was brought about, as everybody knows, by the imperative necessities of the Government 'at a time of great public peril in order to save the life of the nation when attacked by the worst of men for the most hellish purposes. . For a . time after the putting down of the Rebellion it was believed that the Government was nnable to resume the payment of its obligations. If tbis was true in the past, it is certainly not so now. The short time securities of the Government have now nearly all been redemed, by payment in money, or converted into bonds payable at its option after five and within twenty years from the dates of their respective issues. What remains will, within the next two months, be so paid or converted, or will lose its right to be converted or to draw interest. After that I can see no reason why the Government, so far as itself is concerned, might not almost immediately resume specie payment. It is much to be regretted that the subject of the manner of payment of the five twenty bonds was ever agitated by those who are in favor of preserving the credit of the Government untarnished. If it had been permitted to remain at rest until specie payment3 had been resumed, there would have been nothing to discuss save the naked propositions of honest payment or faithless repudiation. When the Government shall have honestly, resumed the pay ment of all its obligations in coin, there is scarce a doubt that its credit will be come so firmly fixed that it will find no difficulty in obtaining loans, both at home and abroad, to' enable it to consolidate its whole debt, at a rate not to exceed four per cent, per annum. The National Banks are the creations of the Government, and they live by its sufferance. There have been granted them great privileges and valuable fran chises. It would, therefore, seem to be right and reasonable that they should be made to assist the Government in the funding, and ultimate payment of the public debt. , , ; The present banking system might be madere to all that would conform to the reaulrementa of the law. This would be perfectly safe if the Government should gradually withdraw its cir . culating notes and compel all the banks, in addition to the securities now lodged in the Treasury, to keep a certain spec! fled amount in coin, in proportion to the

circulation of each bank respectively, in i the custody of some public officer, at the commercial center of the country,

for the sole dutdosc of redeeming their circulating notes at par. The interest on the stocks left with the Treasurer to insure the redemption of their circulating notes might be retained for this purpose , until it i reached the .required amount.' Redemption of their circulat ing notes by banks at their own counters is of no practical utility ; they might, therefore, safely be released from this liability. ' ; New banks should receive no circulating notes from the Controller of the Currency except for a four per cent, stock of the United States ; and all existing banks should within a specified time be required to substitute a like stock for the stocks now on deposit with the Treasurer to secure the redemption of their circulating notes. The avidity with which the whole " first authorized issue of the United States three per cent, certificates was taken by these banks, and their clamor, which induced Congress to authorize another issue, which is being taken up as fast as it can be prepared, would seem to indicate that it would be no hardship for these banks to hold a four per cent, stock; especially as Government stocks in tbeir hands, to the amount of their capitals, are now by law exempt from the payment of duty on "capital stock," levied on them in lieu of all other taxes. Should Government agencies at the same time be established in Amsterdam, Frankfort, London and Paris, for the negotiation of such a four per cent, loan and the payment of the interest thereon quarterly at either of the places named respectively, or at either of the offices in this country where it is now payable, at the option of the holder of the stock, it is believed enough would be taken to' redeem, not only the six per cent fivetwenties now held in Europe, but much of that stock that is now held at home. These stocks should of course have long terms to run to maturity, giving them somewhat the .character of annuities, and might, be known as "American Consols." All this new stock should be convertible from a coupon to a registered, and from a registered to a coupon stock, at any time, at the owner's option. With these two arrangements com. pleted, one half of the present public debt would be disposed of at a rate of interest one third less than that now paid. After that, the Government would have little difficulty in placing the re mainder on the same terms at home; this could be done by commencing redemptions in the. order of the issue of the various stocks by payment in money. Every dollar received on the sale of the new four per cents would redeem a dollar of the old six per cent stock. Such new stock should, however, be exempt from every kind of taxation whatever, by the General Government, or by States, " municipalities, or corporations. Such a provision would not only make the stocks more desirable and readily taken, but it is necessary to the very existence of the Government itself. . Any Government that taxes its own stock is a repudiator to the extent) of such taxation. If it permits States or "municipalities to tax it, the Government would always be at the mercy of the States and municipalities ; for they might, at any time, tax it to such an extent as to virtually tax it out of existence, and thus, forever after, prevent the Government from negotiating loans, however much they might be needed for its own preservation. Once grant to the States the power to tax United States stocks, Secession will have an easier road to disunion and separation than any that could be opened by an armed rebellionMany of the men who, during the rebellion, invested their all in the present six per cent stocks, to save the country from dissolution, would,from motives of patriotism if not from pecuniary considerations, be willing to exchange such stocks now held by them for any new stock that would be reliable to them and satisfactory to the great body of the people. I know, at least, one such, the earn ings- of whose whole life are now so in vested, who would at any time, now or hereafter, under such circmstances and conditions, be glad to join others mak ' ing such an exchange. I doubt not Gen. Cutler holds of these stocks, and I believe that he and his loyal friends, who hold his peculiar opinions in regard to the mode of redemption of the five twenties, would be willing to make this exchange. First, because it would satisfy and quiet the public mind, and bring peace on this vexed question ; and second, because it would be better for the holder than the mode proposed by him. It is believed that if resumption does not take place in a short time, it will be because the National banks will not be prepared for it. : - '.' ' f ; It may be said that ' the Government should do right and resume whenever it is able to do so,irrespective of the wishes or necessities of the banks.' - Before coming to such a conclusion . it should be remembered that the Government is the indorser of all the National Bmk Notes, and that it has taken its own bonds for its indemnity against loss by reasons of its guaranty to the bill holders of such banks. Should these banks fail, their notes mast be redeemed at the

Treasury at once, ani that, too, whether the securities pledge! for the purpose are sufficient or not, This being the case, it will be seen tiat the circulating notes of every Natioial Bank that may fail, in consequence of premature resumption, or from anf other cause, must be added to the oustanding matured tliabilities4of thefUnled States. The Government on such failures, in order to provide itself with neans to redeem the notes of such brokm banks, would be obliged to sell its ovn stocks held by itself in trust for therr. If many should fai1 there might be thrown upon the marlet such an amount of such stocks as night, for a time at least, seriously impsir its merchantable value. Perhaps the depreciation might, under such circumstances, reach a point so low that the avaife from the sale of the securities in the hands of the Treasurer would not be lufficient to redeem the whole circulation of such defaulting banks. In that case the balance would become a direct charge upon the Treasury., . Such failures might and very probably would, throw serious obstacles in the way of any scheme for re-inyest-ing the present stocks; it might even cause another suspension, and thus prevent a stable and permanent resumption for years after.

It should be borne in mind that any feasible plan for an advantageous conversion and refunding of all the Govern- ; neat liabilities into a single consolidated Ktock, bearing a much lower rate of inerest than the present, must be through n undoubting faith in a lasting resump- ' ion of specie payments by the whole " ountry as a condition precedent. These suggestions are addressed to ou, because I have noticed . that you ave not only written on the subject of i' ur finances, but that you have written j . ell, and in the supposition that you r iay be inclined to continue the subject, ! would most respectfully suggest the j ropriety of your devoting a chapter of jdvice to the National Banks. Many j f these institutions were put in opera jion by new and inexperienced men 'Ignorant of the first principles of legiti jiale banking. They have never had I leir circulating notes returned to them r redemption. They have scarcely jeen one of them since they first issued i lem. They hardly know rhat redemphon means. In truth, they have come to look upon their promises to pay, as as- ..' to 'be relied upon for use, instead of (verdue liabilities. It is feared that, hen resumption takes place, many of Me banks under such managers, unless jiucated to a correct appreciation of , leir duties and dangers, will be forced the wall, and compelled to go into tquidation. Your admirable essays, i ma far, seem to have been intended . ainly for the enlightenment of Congress, overnment officials, and the people. 1 11 of these, it is, believed, will be right, J4 ng before the banks will be prepared i r doing their share of the work that I ill be required to insure an early resumption of specie payments. Bring tjie Banks into line, and my word for it, litsumption will be a fact accomplished I ithin a jrear. The gallantry and heroic virtue of our Mildiers and sailors have saved the huntry from the distracted condition of : Mexico. All should now unite in a jrm resolve and fixed determinatior that iie public honor and faith shall be presisrved untarnished, and that the nation ;hall be saved from sinking down to the i tagnant prostration of a Spain. The i j ilitary has done its part of the glorious i oik nobly, and deserves and will ret hive the nation's gratitude. If civilians desire that posterity should hold their i mes. in grateful remembrance, . they i f ust finish honestly what was so splendi itly achieved by those who bore arms in t) e struggle. The soldier's mission has oriously ended. The civilian's duty ij sua Deiore.nim. jjau to preserve t j e nation's unspotted faith, and no l.'jman ken can divine the distress, diss i ter and misery that will overwhelm cjir people, be just and do right, pre fejrve the nation s good name, observe s jl obligations at home and abroad, and i j e country will enter upon a career of i j'osperity and happiness . that will ex- ) ed anything that the world has ever t i en. .

Lot Cause' for which we fought. NEVER SHALL I ADMIT THE CAUSE ITSELF FAILED.AND THAT THE PRINCIPLES WHICH GAVE IT LIFE WERE THEREFORE WRONG. Never shall I brand the men who upheld it so nobly, as rebels and traitors.' Wade Hampton. ' ' Keep it Before the People That the Repub lican doctrine on taxation is to make the wealth of the Nation pay the public debt, by taxing the luxuries used by the wealthy, and exempt ing from taxation the necessaries of life; thus wisely discriminating in favor of those who are not blessed with a competency, and who earn their bread by their daily labor. Keep it before the People That the Demo cratic policy of taxation, as urged by the 4th article of the Seymour and lilair platform, is "EQUAL TAXATION OF EVERY SPE CIES OP PROPERTY, according to its REAL VALUE, including Government bonds and other public secureties," thus proposing to tax both the Rich and the Poor the rich man's in come and the CREDIT of the United States. as well as the Poor man's bed, cow, pig, chick en, or "EVERY 8PF0IES OF PROPERTY' he may happen to own. The Democracy keep harping upon Gen. Grant's speechlessness. They should remember the old proverb, that "actions speak louder than words," and certainly their friends heard a good deal of loud and eloquent talking-during the three or four years preceding May, 1865. Evansville is some at "a pole raising." The Journal of that place says the Democrats on Thursday night, in their enthusiasm (so called) nailed the streamer to the last pole they raised, with the names of the candidates upside down. The party next November will be turned about in the same way. When Democrats prate about "Radical extravagance" tell them this fact:The Democratic majority of the Ohio Legislature, after spending $100,000 on themselves more than was necessary, adjourned to meet again on the 23d of November, to swell the cost of their eminent services concerning "visible admixture," and other ridiculous concoctions, to about $215,000; while the entire expenses of the last Republican Legislature were $93,843. , . . "Enormous taxes!" Well, who caused them? Who. piled up, high upon the heaving breast of labor, the great debt which not only cuts off the luxuries of the . rich, but shortens the loaf of the' poor? They were caused by those who now endeavor to make, them the means of returning to power the very men that made them-., necessary. They were caused by the wicked rebellion that broke out in the . South, with the encouragement of the Democratic party in the North. , . . .-. : ' Our Democratic exchanges arc publishing a list of fifteen Union Generals who support Seymour and Blair. Two of the number have already pronounced for the Republican ticket. Five more were retired in disgrace daring the war. One of the number has been court msrtialed and 1 punished since the close of the war. Two were never in any engagement; one is dead, and of the remaining four, Slocum is the only one deserving of favorable mention.

There has been a large at tendance ' this year and special trains have been crowded, and great numbers have gone to the grounds by other means of conveyance, both from this city and the surrounding country. On last Sunday week, there was an immense crowd gathered at the grounds. Trains were run from this place to the grounds and returned every two hours, and every train was full.
