The following platform, reported by tne Committee on JCesolutions, was unanirr ouly adopted by the National Republican 'Convention in session at Ciiiea'.ro on tne L'lst JUav: The National Republican party of the Un:to.i btatea, assembled in Iat i('!i;il Convention in the city of Chicago o i il.e ;a uav of May, 180-5,'make t'v? r !'csi:'; declaration "bf princi First. "We congratulate the country on the assured success of the recon strtiction projects of Con cress, as evinc ed bv the adoption, in a majority of the States lately in rebellion, of con stitutions securm? eaual civil ana the duty of the government to sustain these institutions and to prevent the people of euch States from being re- mitted to a state of anarchy. fivrr?

Third. "We denounce all forms of repudiation as a national crime, and honor tinoal faith abroai but the spirit of the laws under which it was contracted. Fourth. It is due to the labor of the nation that taxation should be equal ized and reduced as rapidly as the national faith will permit. Fifth. The national debt, contracted as it has been for the preservation of the union for all time to come, snouia be extended over a fair period for re demption, and it is the duty of Con press to reduce tne rate ot interest thereon whenever it can possible be done.

The government of the United States should be administered with the strictest economy, and the corruptions which have been so shame- fully nursed and fostered by Andrew jonuson can touuiy ior rauieai re- t, . ii i ii f i i I form. Eighth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tracic death of Abraham Lincoln, and rep cession of "Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted treacher ously to the people who elected him and the cau&e he was pleased to sup port ; has usurped legislative andjud- ieial lunctions : has refused to execute the laws : has used his hih office to induce ot her officers to ignore and vio late the laws: has employed his ex ecutive power to render insecure the prosperity, peace, liberty, and life of the citizens ; ha.s abused the pardon ing power : has denounced the Nation al Legislature as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly resisted, by even' means m his txiwer, 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 prop erly pronounced guilty by the votes of thirt-hve Senators, Ninth. The doctrine of Great Brit ain and other European powers, that because a man is once a subject he is always so, must be resisted at every hazard by the United States as a relic of the fedual times, not authorized by the law of nations and at war with our national honor and independence. Naturalized citizens are entitled to be protected in all their rights of citizen ship as though they were native born, and no citizen of the United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to arrest and imprisonment by any foreign power for acta done or words spoicen m this country. And if so ar- rested and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to interfere in his behalf. - Tenth. Of all who were faithful in the trials of the late war there are none entitled to more especial honor than the . brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of camnaierii and cruise, and imperiled their lives in the service . of their country. The bounties and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders of the nation are obligations never to be for- gotten. The widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation's protecting care. Eleventh. foreign emigration, I which in the past has added so much to the wealth and development of the resources and the increase of power of this nation, "the asylum of the op- pressed of all nations," should he lost- ered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy. - . " Twcltth. I his convention declares its sympatic with all the oppressed people who are struggling for. their rights. On motion of Gen. Carl Schurz, the following additional resolutions we unanimously adopted as part of the platform: Iiisoh cd, That we highly commend the spirit or magnanimity and forbear ance with which the men who have served in the rebellion, but now frankly and honestly co-operate with, us in restoring the peace of the country and reconstructing the Southern State gov- ernments upon the basis of impartial lustice and equal rights, are received . , ill tiack into the communion o the loyal iwopie: and wewunue n.-moai ui tne uisquaiincawous uuu u-auituuus ini rosed upon the late -rebels in the Sillne measure as their spirit of loyalty will direct, as may be consistent with the saftty ot tne ioyai people. ries a J'-'v' fc" 12csolved, That we the great principles laid down in tne immortal Declaration ol independence a3 the true foundation of democratic government, and we hail with glad- ne -ssevt ry effort toward making these inciples a living reality on every ch of American soil. . , The liiclimond-Enquirer and Ex- aminrr says that '-the white men of declarations and principles succeeding the Southern States have seen the Abraham Lincoln and the pblicv of day when they could use the bullet, the Union !

"At tne Point of tlie Bayonet." Every day makes it plainer that the policy which the Democratic party has chosen to submit to the public nHrrpmpTit in this caintmlern is not one of administration merelyj but of absolute and forcible revolution. It proposes to reverse au tne national legislation of the three last years, to subvert the reconstruction which the county has approved, to disperse or saui cmie Kwiciumu.w "j the bavonet : bv the same means to rein state those who for the highest crime against the Commonwealth have been temporarily disfranchised; to deprive hundreds of thousands of new citizens of the ballot, and thrust tbem bacs into a semi-enslaved condition a pro- VlOlC UUU 1AAV11-VA tK -J J which embraces the entire disaffected class, and excludes a large body of the loval reor)le it announces that if its claim is disregarded it will appeal to "physical forca," and place us can didate in the White House at the point of the bayonet. It will not be forgotten that thp party which thus enters into a politi cal comrjai-rn with a loud threat of civil war is the one tnat nas previous- . i .... ly made the same threat and fulfilled it to the letter. In 1SG0 the Democrat orators said that the boutn ;r couid Fillmore, absurdly calling Conser- vauve, uau saiu oamc i"-s had said the same thine: in view of the election of Mr. Fremont It was not bravado merely. AVhat- thp Xnrtbern nortion of the nartv may have thought or intended, the , Southern portion was sincere and resolved ; and it was that portion which has entirely controlled the par- ty and dictated its policy, because it was uie-iwwucciucui ii... ..:i:.. 1 This history repeats itself. In 1S64, the positive element was the Copper head majority represented Dy .air. Vallandigham. Mr. V allandigham madft the Democratic platform of that. year, which was merely a proposal to succor the rebellion and secure its suc cess. In any event'it was revolution : and revolution in the interest of the Slaveholding oligarchy. The national conscienc and sagacity, however, were too strong: the Union and progressive free society were saved. In 18G8 the same spectacle is repeated. The war is over. But the passion and Eurposcsof its chief instigators remain. efeat in the effort to destroy the Union has not taught them love of the Union. Profound hostillity to the principles of society which- have pre vailed, and to an interpellation of the character, of the government which has triumphed, does not sink into acquiescence without further struggle roiled in tne neid, what chance is there in political intrigue? Oppressed with debt, strained bTlong and severe exertion of every kind, vexed by the delay of complete paeihcation, is not the country and army fatigued after its victory, sleeping upon the field,.and fatally exposed to one daring, desper ate assault lhis was the question with which the old, positive, ruling element ot the Democratic party en tered its Convention. Part . of the Northern wing, which that element despises, had suggested in advance some acknowledgment of actual events. The war, it said, cautiously, may have been a mistake, but it must be honest ly paid for. Reconstruction may be unconstitutional, but-it is accomplish- ed, and can he reversed only in the Way itself provides. The party justly or unjustly, has became such a stench in the national nostrils that it may be better to take a candidate from without its lines. Indeed, said this wing of the party, with an air of valor, on the very day before the Convention met, if the Southern delegates take part in the action of the Convention they must abide by it. It may be imagined with what dis- dain the Southern delegations read these words in a paper which their mere distant frown had forced to renounce . its candidate. They came to the Convention led by Wade Ham- pton, a relentless South Carolina rebel who declared upon his way to take his seat that the cause ci the rebellion was not yet lost. Wade Hampton the rebel, and Vallandigham the Cop- perhead, combined, and ruled the Convention. Instead of reco-rnizin-r actual events, their effort was to undo the result of seven years. The spirit oi me two men made the platform, Vallandigham put into it repudiation which is national disgrace; and Wade Hampton the reversal of reconstruc tion, which is rebel revenge. Then Horatio Seymour was made candidate for President, who had declared that the success of the war would be the ruin of the Union; and Frank Blair for Vice-President, who had insisted that reconstruction should be subver ted by force, and who said that he wished to be nominated upon that declaration only After eiirbt vears the spirit of the old Kl.ivphnhiprs nr. rogant. inhuman. un-Ameriean bar Darous which had been laWinc rn ' destroy the Government bv force, and umy oecause it promised peacefully uugressive liberty, returned to its familiar arena, a Democratic National Convention and immediately resumed control of its old machine the Demo- cratic party to secure its old purpose : exclusive Politim!

Had it followed-the advice of its shrewder but unprincipled minority, instead of its relentless and haughty majorityhad it veiled its hatreds and its hopes it might have pushed its hand nearer to the power and plunder it burns to clutch. But it deploys upon the open field. It flaunts its black flags in the sunlight. It loudly demands repudiation, dis grace, anarchy. It eagerly threatens civil war, if the country will but give it a chance.

Copperhead Indecency -Dis graceful Assault on Gen. Grant. From the Springfield (DJ) Journal. The brutish, devilish spirit which possesses the so called Democracy, was fully manifested on the oeeni,! m of the passage of Gen. Grant through CaTHnvilie, the other evening. Tha party, under, the auspices of that prince of low fellows, Bill O'Brien. had been holding a political meeting in uie town . during the day. and. filled with bad whisky, when they heard that Gen. Grant was upon the train, they started for the depot.' sev eral hundred strong, and taking pos session of the platform, and surround ing tne General's car, they set upon him with the most unearthly. yells and screechings, insulting him and his family in the most dastardly and shameful manner. The fellow O'Brien, whose manners as filthy as he is him- seii personally, was loudest and fore most in urging on the drunken mob Gen. Grant had raised the window of the car for the purpose of shaking hands with some friends whom he recognized, when one of the dirty nouuus, more impudent than the rest. rushed to the window, and shoutinsr hurrah, for Seymour and. Blair'' violently struck Gen. Grant in the ace with his hat. Mr. McConnell. who was conversing with the General at the time, resented the indignity by giving the fellow a blow on the side of the smeller which sent him sprawling and Lieutennant McKee and others at once kicked him off the platform This, however, only the more incens- ed the Copperhead mob, and, though it was intended by the decent citizens of the place to extend to the General who had successfully led our armies through the war some indication of their personal, not to say political, appreciation ot his services, it was found to be utterly Impossible to do so, and the train passed on. The hyenas with O'Brien at their head who per etrated the insult, were highly de ighted with their disgraceful perfor mances, but the respectable citizens of i;ari:nriiie, without regard to party. wore exceedingly indignant that such a reproach should be cast 'unon the good name of their town ;and we are not astonished. It is certain that the Democracy have gained nothing by their bad manners. Sale of Girls in India. One of the leading national papers of ndia contains an account of a sale of girls near Calcutta, at which the wri ter was present. When he first heard that such a sale was going on, he could scarcely believe that ho was iving under the British Government ; however, he found that he had been o,iT.r-wt It- i r fdrjirt nil frtr An fro'-nor fn o certain quarter of the bazaar at Main ckgunge, he saw a cluster of girls, of from two to thirteen years of age, very busy summoning customers, as they received a commission often cents on all the bargains effected through their instrumentality, besides some trifling offerings. The prices varied according to the age and beautjr of the children : girls of seven ruled at about 400 rupees ; an old man of seventy whispered an offering of 750 rupees for a very beauti ful girl of thirteen, who was surround pd by-quite a croud of bidders. An txchange of daughters was taking felace in another part of the bazaar. yhe writer of the letter, who was tiuch horrified at what he witnessed, inplores the editor to direct the at tention of the Government officials to mis matter, and save many Brahmin fiimilies from perdition. All about A Rebel Flag-. , j Almost every Republican newspa per in the Union has copied the state ment that the rebel flag was suspended iu the hall where tha Democratic State Convention of Kansas was re cently held. At first the Democracy indignantly denied the fact. Eviden ce was adduced which so completely and - thoroughly substantiated the statement that the Democrats asserted that the flag was a rebel flag, ' but was captured by gallant Democratic sol diers " and hung up as a trophy of the war. It now turns out that the flag was one captufed by the First Kansas Col ored Infantrv at Honey Springs, Ark., July 17, 1863, from the Texas Rebel intantry. Those uariiies, men, are what the Kansas Democrats style, "gallant Denocratic soldiers?" Good for the "First Kansas Nigger," as the Deraacracy used to call that regiment. These Democrats will yet claim that their party furnished the victims of the Fort Pillow butchery. What our Republican friends in Maine can do in the impending cam Iiaign is apparent from what that they lave done in the past. At the State elections of the last four years the total votes and the Republican ma jorities have been as follows : Years. Total. Rep. Maj. im lu.'.m....... io.ino l$o.... . xi,(rJ-.- . J22,-.'l l,f . lifl,7W 11,312 The State election will be held on the second Monday of September. Says the Montgomery (Ala.) Adver tiser, (Democratic) : "It is better that the Democracy of the North, should realize the truth as to the Southern Presidential vote, in order that they may proceed at once to reflect upon the facts and resolve upon such action as may he suitable to the case.

Chance has put into our hands the mostimposing and interesting judicial document to all Christians that has ever been recorded in human annals: that is. the identical death warrant of our Lord Jesus Christ. We transcribe the document from a copy of the trans- ation- Sentence rendered bv Fontius Pilate acting Governor of Lower Galilee : That Jesus of Nazareth shall suffer death on the cross. In the year seven teen of the Empire, Tiberius Ctesar, and the 4th of March, the city of the Holy Jerusalem : Aueas and Caiaphas being present, sacrificators of the people of God, 1, Jontius mate, Governor of the raietatory condemn Jesus, of Nazareth to die on the cross between two thieves the great and notorious evidence of the people say- ig: 1 lie is a seducer. 2 He is seditin.s. 3 He is the enemy of the law. 4 He calls himself, falsely, the Son of God. 5 He calls liimself the King of Israel. G He entered into the temple follow ed by a multitude bearing palm branch es in their hands. Order the Centurion, Quintius Corne ius, to lead him to the place of execu tion. Forbid any person whosoever, poor or rich, to oppose the death of Jesus. The witnesses that signed the death of Jesus are : 1. Daniel Robani, a Pharisee. 2. Janus Horohable. 3. Cabct, a c:tizen. Jesus shall go out in the city by the gate "Strenuous." The above sentences are engraved on a copper plate on one side is writ ten these words: A similar plate is sent to each of these tribes." It was found in an antique vase of marble, while excavating in the city of Aquilla, in the kingdom of Naples, in the year 1S25, by the Commissariat of Aris attached to the French armies. At the expedition of Naples it was . 1 .. i i found enclosed in a dox oi ewuy in the sacristy of Caurtem. 1 he b rench translation was made oy meinuer in the Commission of Aris. The child ren requested earnestly that the plate should not be taken away from them. The request was granted as a reward for the army. Mr. Denon, one of the savants, caused a plate to be made as a model, on which he had engraved the above sentence. At the sale safe of iia rolleetion of curiosities, it was bought by Lord Howard for five thou sand eight hundred and eight-four francs.

We clip the following item from the St. Joseph Morning Herald! As the siecial tram on the St. Joseph and Council Bluffs road Was a short dis tance above the mouth of the Nodawa v on Sunday mornfiig last, the engine driver discovered a man on the track ; he at once whistled and slackened the speed of the train ; the man made no eff ort to escape, and was, in consequence struck by the cow-catcher and thrown irom the track. He was taken up in an insensible condition, brought to this city and placed in the county hos pital. The unfortunate man is deaf and dumb, and came to this city a few days ago from the liuist. Dr. Bertram informs us that he has been insensible since his arrival at the hospital ; he receif ed injuries to his head and spine. and it is doubtful if he will recover. Being insensible and with out any papers on his person, it is impossible to discover his name or residence. The following of the Otoe Univer sity, we clip from the Nebraska City Press. Doctor Dicfondorf, the President, is an experinced and accomplished educator, having been at the head of a prominent College in Ohis forsever al years, and has provided the in stition with a thorough and able corps of teachers from the E;ist, who have been engaged successfully for years in their profession. We can not speak too highly of this young university. It starts out under the most favorable auspices. It offera to young men and young women the most desirable opportunity for securing a thorongh education at the most economical rates. Tuition, board, room rent room fur nished with bedstead, table, chairs and stoves for the college year of forty weeks, only cost from one hun ored and fifty to one hundred and seventy-five dsllars. Students will be admitted at any time, and charged only from the date of their admission. "I like Grant,", said a German shoemaker the other day, "because he don't blow. He minds his own business, and makes no fuss about it. There are some men that blow and blow, and arc all the time telling what big things they are going to do, and how they are going to serve the peo ple, and be economical and all that, and they turn out just as big rascals as any of them. . But Grant, he says nothing about it, but goes to work and does whatever he thinks ought to be done, and the first thing we know it is all over with ; and what he does is always the right thing." The opin ion was unsolicited, but is. not less valuable for that. Some of the Western Democratic delegates complain of the small sums of money they received for shoving the Seymour scow through the con vention. That reminds us of a story : An Indian being -asked what he did for a living, replied, " Oh, me preach." " Preach !' ' said a bystander. " What do you get paid for preaching?" "Sometimes me get fhiilin', some times two shilunv' mighty poor pay ?" "And isn't that "Oh yes, but its TVlhrVlfir ruirrl. ? T-r . r. ' ' m mi Siixe, the poet and joker, was once taking a trip on a steamer, when he fell in with a lively young lady to whom he made himself very agree able. Of course he made an impress ion upon the damsel, who said at part ing, "Good-bye, Mr. Saxe, I fear you'll soon be forgetting me." "Ah, Miss," said the inveterate punster, "if 1 was not a married man already, you may be sure 1 u be for getting you. i "It is Repudiation ! and to this the Democratic party is already pledged, and no man can, after this year, be elected to Congress or to the Presid ency who is not pledged for Repudia tion. This is true Dcmocrati' dx-t-rine, and j-ou who do not endorse it will le ground to powder under the wheel of Repudiation." Erich J'ome royfin the LaCrosac Democrat, &citem ber, 1SG7. One Shanahan, of New York, has made the highest bid yet for a "lVm ocratie" nomination to Congr s.
