THE PLATFOEM Of the Xational Republican Party. Adojrted at Chicago, May 21, 1S08. The following platform, reported by the Committee on Resolutions, was unanimously adopted by the National Republican Convention in session at Chicago : The National Republican party of the United States, assembled 111 is at- 1 1 a. ! ii. . : 1 Arrik;.n .' lonai ou uiuiouiii me cuy ui on the 20th day of May, 18G8, make the following "declaration of princi pies : First. We congratulate the country on the assured success of the recon struction proiectsof Congress, as evinc ed by the adoption, in a majority of the btates lately in rebellion, or con stitutions securing equal civil and political rights to all, and regard it a9 the duty of the government to sustain these institutions and to prevent the people of such .States from being re mitted to a state of anarchy. Second. The guarantee of Congress of equal suffrage to all loyal men of the bouth was demanded Ly every consideration of public safety, of grat itude, and of justice, and must be maintained, while the question of sun rage in all the loyal btates proper ly belongs to the people of those btates. Third. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a national crime, and honor requires the paymentof the na tinoal indebtedness in the utmost good faith to all creditors, at home and abroad, not only according to the letter but the spirit ot the laws under which it was contracted. Fourth. It is due to the laliorof 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, should be extended over a fair period for re demption, and it in the duty of Con. rcs to reduce the rate 01 interest thereon whenever it can possible be done. bixth. That the best policy to dim inish our burden of debt is to bo im prove ourcredit 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 ortotal, open or covert, is threat ened or s ispected. beventii. The government of the United btates should be administered with the strictest economy, and the corruptions which nave been so shame fully nuncd and fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for radical re form. Eighth. We profoundly deplore' the untimely -and tragic death of! Abraham Lincoln, and regret the ac-i cession ot Andrew Johnson to the Presidencj, who has acted treacher ously to tle people who elected him and the c;use he was pledged to sup port ; has usurped legislative and jud icial functions ; has refused to execute the laws : ;ias used his higu olhcc to induce othjiT officers to ignore and vio late the laws ; has employed his ex ecutive porer to render insecure the prosperity, peace, liberty, and life of the citizen : has abused the pardon- ing power; has denounced the Nation al Legislature as unconstitutional: has persistently and corruptly resisted, by every means in his power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction of the Status lately in rebellion ; has perverted the public patronage into an engine ol wholesale corruption, and has been justly impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and prop erly pronounced guilty by the votes of thirty-five Senators. Ninth. Ihe doctrine of Great Brit ain and other European powers, that because a man is once a subject he is always so, must lie resisted at every hazard by the United States as a relic of the fedual times, not authorized by the law of nationsand at war witn our national honor and independence. Naturalized citizens arc entitled to be protected in all their rights of citizen ship as thouch thev 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 acts done or words spoken in this country. And if so ar- rCSieu allU lliqii isuiitu, l is uui( ui 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 wno endured the hardships of campaign 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, which ill 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 be fost ered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy. Twelfth. This convention declares it svmnnihv with all the oppresst-d people who are struggling fur their rights. On motion cf Gen. Carl Schurz, the following additional resolutions we unanimously adopted as part of the platform: Resolved, That we highly commend thesnirit of magnanimity and forbear ance with -which the men who have served in the rebellion, but now frankly nnd honestly1 co-operate with us in rrtnrincr thepeace of the country and reconstructing the Southern State gov ernments u'on tUe basi of impartial justice and tQuai ngius, re rectieu hnek- intn the communion of the loyal neonle and we favor the removal of the disquaLPCauons auu re&iricuuus imposed upon the late rebels in the same measure as their spirit of loyalty will direct, ns may be consistent with the safety el we loyui inue. I 1 BROWNVILLE, NEBRASKA, , THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER m.e--. y 2t Scliuylci Colfas:. Resolved, That We recognize the great principles laid down irt the immortal Declaration of Independence as the true foundation of democratic government, and we hail with glad ness every effort toward making these principles a living reality on every inch of American soil. , Seymour as a Statesman. A queer basis, the claim of Horatio Seymour to statesmanship has, "when you come to look at it." He opposed the Wilmot Proviso. He supported the Fugitive Slave Law. He sustained the Nebraska bill re pealing the restriction on slavery, ex tension. He apologized for or defended the border ruffian outrages in Kansas. He sustained Breckinridge against Douglas in 1SG0. . He threw the blame of the begining of secession upon the Republicans while Mr. Lincoln was only President elect.. He asserted that to call out troops to suppress the rebellion Was more 44 rev olutionary" than the rebellion itself. He declared the Montgomery con stitution better than ours, and ex pressed . the opinion that the war ought to be avoided by the North adopting it, thus giving the highest possible sanction to treason. He never in the last eight years once delivered any argument, appeal, denunciation or censure against the rebel cause ; and never failed to charge revolution, usurpation, outraged op pression, tyranny and all the political crimes in the calander upon the Re publcans. July 4, 1SG3, while Lee's army was in Pennsylvania, on its way to Phi- adelphia and New York, and he had heard only of its tsitcccss, he delivered an oration in New York, imploring the North to compromise, warning it against civil war at home, and de nouncing the Republicans for 44 in: fringing upon our rights, insulting our homes, and depriving us of those cherished principles tor which our fathers fought, and to which we have sworn allegiance. In oration aforesaid he warned the Republicans thus : 44 Remember this; that the bloody, treasonable, and revolutionary, doctrine of public nec essity can be proclaimed by a mob as well as by a Government." i When Lee had been defeated, and nevertheless the mob arose, which his language had invited, he address ed them as his 44 friends," was receiv ed as their 44 friend," and promised to get what they were fighting for, . the suspension of the draft. He told Mr. Lincoln that the draft act was unconstitutional, and warned him that if it was enforced his 'friends' 1 might resist" it. He presided at the Chicago Conven tion, and, with it, declared the war a failure, and called for an immediate peace that is for disunion. He opposed, and now opposes the Fourteenth amendment, ana all mea sures marking treason as a crime. Finally during the last eight years, he has been admired and honored by every rebel in the country, and dis trusted and hated by ninety-nine out of a hundred of those who demanded the suppression of treason.

The general impression is that death by sunstroke is vprv T.iinfnll Vmt v. , - - ' 1 1 IUC contrarv would spom tn ilia fni judging from the following account ui me t'liect 01 sucn a visitation, given by Gen. Sir J. Napier. He experienc ed an attack while in Scinde, where the thermometer, according to the General himself, was of asmuchuseto him as it -would have been to the boiling lobster, and wrote as follows to one of his daughters : "The sunstroke was a staggerer yet my hope is to die by one, for never can deatlx come in an easier shape. I was just deadly sleepy ; it was deadly had I been left alone; but the only feeling of transition would have been tireness like that experienced at beino suddenly waked up before time: This was to a degree almost to be called painful, then came a pleasant drow ,m angerlhat the doctors w ould not let me sleep. Were it not for otners, would that my horn had sound ed ; so easy, so delightful, I may say, was the approach of death." . ri? remble3 the accounts of them tnathave been saved from freezing to death after having got far down into the alley, so that excess of heat and ex cess of cold produce precisely the same Brutal Outrage at Columbus. A CJerr.ian Citizen Maltrcat etl Xigli Unto lit at 1. r : Columbus, Sept. 5th, 1SG3.-: Editor Bepublic an: . -. iT As a specimen of . the quality of which the Democratic element of this place is composed, I will relate some of their doings here last night. : : Thev held a meeting which was at tended by all the loafers, drunkards and rowdies cf the place not a respect able citizen was there in the crowd. The 'speaker was several times left alone while his Worthy heare res -repaired to a saloon near by, in order to keep their spirits up, by pouring other spirits down After having swallow ed largo quantities of Democratic forty rod whiskey, and thereby gct ihg their brutal natures worked up to such a- tCtch that ncthimr but blood would satisfy them, they broke up the meeting in a row, bruised one an other's noses, and hui r tughed for Sey mour, Blair & C. in fine etyle. After sparring among themselves a short time, a squad of them repaired to an old building in which the sheriff had that day confined a man for petty theft. They burst open . building, seized the prisoner, placed a rope around his neck and dragged him to river, a distance of three fourths of a mile; here they plunged him into the water several times succcasively, drag ging him out by the rope around , his neck. After indulging in this brutal pastime to their satisfaction , and when life had become almost extinct in theirhelpless victim, they dragged him out upon the sand, stripped him of his clothing, and then beat him with clubs, kicked and stamped upon him until hi3 head, face, shoulders and back were a complete jelly. They then dragged him back to the jail,, thrust him in, and left him thus, in a state of insensibility, to die If ho would be fore morning, of which they had no doubts. He is a German. Tho victim of this brutal, blood thirsty, Democratic mob is in a hor ible condition, and suffering untold tortures. But slight hopes are enter tertained or his recovery. The per petrators of this destardly outrage on the name of humanity are all known to the citizens, and it it to be hoped that the authorities will thoroughly investigate the matter, and mete out to them the punishment which their crime demands. Such is Democracy. Yours truly, W. B. Dale. FrStfce.TIie TFar question. London. Sept. 13, It is generally considered that the events of the last fortnight have made little change in the political condition on the Con tinent, either to lessen or increase the chances of war. While on the one hand the press of Germany have ncJ sumed a quieter tone, and profest to be more confident of peace; on the other hand it is known that France has refused the formal demand made by the Chevalier Nigra, the Italian Ambassador, for .the recall of the French troops from Rome, and at the same time Prince Girgenti has brought to Paris the proposal of Spain to cem ent an alliance with France by send ing thirty thousand soldiers to Rome. This proposition and the approaching interview which is shortly to take place atBayonne between the Emper or and the Queen of Spain, are looked upon as foreshadowing an alliance, the obiect of which is to rid France of the care of the Holy See in case she should be plunged into war; so that by this means France, 11 witnout any other ally, could make Spain useful. Rumors, too, that several fighting re giments have been recalled from Afri ca, that Gen. Leboenf has been sent on a special mission to Germauy, and that Prussia has determined to annex the Grand Duchy of Baden, add to the feeling of distrust in the perma nence of the existing peace, lhis feeling is faithfully mirrored in Paris by the depression on the Bourse and the consequent decline ot rentes, and in diplomatic circles here the situa tion is pithily summed up in these a 1 -r m . . m n i a woras: "o rear 01 war mougu it may begin to-morrow." The Prospccl. We never doubted that Grant would carry Georgia by a handsome majority. Our distinguished candidate for Presi dent is much stronger than was Gov. Bullock in April last, and will poll a much heavier white and colored vote. The Domocrats have recently render ed U3 essential service. They have recently sent out of Atlanta more than twenty active campaigners who will go into this contest with an energy and courage that will unite them al most to a man. Toombs, Hill and Cobb, toohave rendered us -valuable service. They are driving the more decent Democrats into the support of the peace candidate, and have disgust ed many more.' The white Republi cans, and Grant men who are not Re publicans, talk very little, but they will use that mystic little piece of paper the ballot with terrible ellect on the 3d of November. Buying and bullying Ilepublicans have played out, and the State is sure for Grant. Augusta (Ga.) Republican. The Hon. lLouis Allgewalir.

The London Times Welcomes Ulr. Hurllngame. ' While the Chinese Embassy was getting fairly to sea in the Jare, The London Times was fulminating pgainst C hina and America . in its boldest manner and loudestvoice. In a three column article, if we may judge from the Cable dispatch this morning, piteous and arrogant by turns, it de clares the policy of England toward Chlrla to have always been one of peace a policy which the Chinese re ceived in such a way as to exhaust its whole vocabulary of wicked nouns and naughty : adjectives. It is now nearly two hundred yeara that the selfish old East India Company began to. trade With China, and not yet thirty-five years since its exclusive privileges ceased. The end of its in fluence marked the beginning of the opium di?puteT and the English people were so persistent and so cruel in their wrongs toward the Chinese that the Emperfor interdicted -all trade and intercourse with England forever. Since then whatever privelcges were accorded to the English have : been wrung from the Chinese by deeds of violence and blood. English treaties with China have been dictated at the mouth of the cannon and signed atthe point of the sword. Granted that the Chinese were not in haste to accord privileges to their enemies which ex perience taught them were sure to be abused, they were not more illiberal in many things than the English themselves. Mr. Buchanan could no more go to Court in the dress of an American citizen ' in lH.'SO than Lord Amherst could approach the Imperial presence without making the prostra tion of the kow-tow in 1S16. Granted too that treaties w'ere not always ob served by the Chinesej it Would have been when they were signed by two parties but made by only one power. Now things are entirely changed. China offers to England the same terms that have been accorded to us, and begs her to accept them ; but The Times insists that they shall be reject ed. Innocent, unwary England has been shamefully treated jockeyed, The Times says by shrewd and keen China ; English Dukes and Earls have been overcome in diplomacy by cop- ?er-colored Mandarins'. After being or manv years the leading power in China,Jafter having beaten the Chin ese in more battles than all the world besides, it is inconprehensible to The Times why the Embassadors of the Emperor should first treat with the Americans, who have never beaten them at ail. But The Times is emphatic even if it does not understand. It say3 that China may have war with England if it wants war, and, forget ting its peaceful attitude of last week, is more than half inclined for a con test with the United States a3 well. Still there may be no fiting. When the Chinese dignitaries arrive in Lon don they wrill be gazed at and talked about, wined and dined, received here and escorted there,, and this bellicose vein may be changed altogether. The editorof the Owykce Avalanche, by way of describing his agreeable vocation,- as conductor of a frontier paper, makes the following interest ing reflections : "Oh, the felicity of editing a paper! Charming, agreeable, in a horn ! Fac inating, attractive occupation, but so difficult to appreciate. "How nicely and smoothly one gets along without an Unpleasantness !' For instance, in a recent issue we rclerred directly to a ruffian known as Captain Prescot, and inicdentily to a guerrilla named Al. Cage. We did this in justice to ourselves and community at large. The other daj', while quietly seated in our sanctum, taxing our brain for more copy, 4in response to the ever lasting cry of the devil,' the two above named villains, one of them armed with a hatchet, and the other with a bowie-knife of large dimensions, made a vioient attack upon our person. The only alternative was to fight or die. v e accordingly seized a large knile. about two feet long, used for cutting paper, and bled our assailants pretty freely. They sued for mercy, we spared their worthless lives and told them to dust, and they got up - and dusted. We would take this occasion to state that if ever they or any -one else attack us with the intention of doing us bodily harm, we will shoot them dead in their tracks or cut their throats from car to car." St. Louis, Sept. 17. The Steamboat excursion and ban quest given yesterday by the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Missouri to the Grand Encampment of the United States :waa a very brill iant affair. The steamers Mississippi, Lady Gay and Belle of Alton were engaged for the purpose, and steamed away from the levee at half past one o'clock, ascending the river about five . miles, when they turned and sailed past the city with flags flying, bands pkvying, and cannon roaring. and proceeded to Jefferson Barracks, twelve miles below here, where they landed and the whole party went ashore and viewed the officer's quarters and souldiers barracks and other points of interest. Shortly after leaving the city an elegant banquet was spread on each lxiat, which was partaken of by every body on board. '1 here could not have been less than three thousand persons including ladies, and the en Louis acquitted themselves most cred itably and received the highest praise andenconiums irom an was the grandest event of the kind that has ever taken place here, and perhaps any where else. The professions and the practice of the Southern Democracy in reference to the negroes are not sufficiently har monious to be ioetical. For example, Alex. H. Stephens and others pro nounce the charge that the Southern whites are hostile to the colored peo ple as "entirely unfounded" and vet we hear of resolutions being pass ed in almost every State and Territory of the South threatening to refuse em ployment to Republican negroes, and the Georgia Senate is declaring all officers held by negroes to be vacant, and directing the Governor to refuse commissions to any and all who have been or may be elected to office. We have before us the requisition of the Democratic State Committee of Mississippi on Gen. Gilled in comma nd there, that he shall order an elec tion for President in that State, in naked defiance of the act of Congress, (ien. Gillen decidedly declines; and the Committee protest against his decision and appeal to General Grant and the President intending to choose Electors, in defiance of Congress. Having refused to come back into their proper position in the Union in obedi ence to Congress, they now propose to choose Electors in defiance of Congress on the assumption that they have al ways been where they should have been. JJut Congress counts the votes. tire party, for gaiety, genuine goou feeling and enjoyment, was probably nnver snrnasserl.

" ' The burden of all the -speeches was unity, harmony, good will and charity to all. What He Thought. A few ibv since, says a Michigan paper, n speci men of humanity, chuck full of fash ionable drink, took a scat in the ex press train at Jackson, and quietly awaited the advent of the conductor, who appeared on time and relieved the traveller's hat of his ticket with out any remarks. On his return, tho traveller button holed him and in quired: "Conductor, how far i3t to Toleon ?" "Twenty miles." "That's wot I tho't." At tho next station the traveller : stopped him, and again inquired ; Conductor, how far to Mach'ter?". "Twenty mile." "That's vot I tho't." : At Manchester the traveller stopped him the third time, and said : "Conductor how far toTecumseh?" "Twenty Miles." As tho train left Tccumseh, tlirt traveller exhausted the patience of the conductor, and the following dia' logue explains the result: "Conductor, how far to Anri'n?" The conducter threw himself upon, his dignity, and remarked: : "See here, my friend, do you takei me for a fool?" The traveller "stuck to his text," , and very coolv remarked : That's wot I tho't." The conductor joined tho pu-seng -er3ina hearty laugh, and concluded to allow his passenger to tho't as ho: pleased. A correspondent at Atlanta civesa . gloomy account of the condition of Gcorgnl, and states that it has never been so bad since the surremler of ' Lee as it is now. The expulsion of the colored members from the Legis lature i3 but the first step in the Rebel ' plan for training the control of the State. The next, it is said, will be to take1 from the freedmcn the power to' vote hot the right to Vote, for of that no human power can deprive them. The ultimate aim of the revolution is, in the opinion of -our correspondent, the restoration ofSlavery, not perhajn in name, but certainly in fact. Wo do not think that these fears are un founded. The Labor Laws of Georgia, passed in l.S0(, virtually reduced tho negroes to serfdom, and unquestiona bly, if there is authority in Georgia to ' prohibit colored citizens from holding offices, the same authority can take from them the ballot. Frank RIair is the leader of this revolution. The people can only stop it forever by elect ing Grant. The legend connected with the say ing that ladies may propose to gen" tlemen in Leap Year, and, if not ac cepted, claim a silk gown, is as fol lows: St. Patrick, haveing driven tho frogs out of the bogs, was walking" along the shores of Loush Neagh, when he was accosted by St. Bridget in tears, and was told that a mutiny had broken out in the nunnery over which she perished, the ladies claim ing the right of popping the question. St. Patrick said he would concede them that riht every seventy years, when St. Bridget threw her arm around his neck, exclaiming, "Arrah! Patrick; jewel ! I daurn't go back to the girls wid such a proposal. Mako it one year in four." St. Patrick re plied, "Bridget, acushla! embrace me in that way again, an' I'll give yo.. Leap Year the longest of the lot." St. Bridget, upon this, proposed to St. Patrick himself, who, of course, could not marry, so he patched up the diff icult v as best he could, with a kiss and a silk gown. Admiral Xarragut and TI10 Cretan?. Advices from Constantinople stat that while the flagship of Admiral Farrngut v.'as in the Bosphorus, a Greek-Cretan deputation came on board and distributed an address to the officers, praying a-sistance from the United States to the struggling Cretans. Admiral Farragut, at th suggestion of Mr. Morris, tlie Ameri can Minister to Turkey, who was also) on board, had the copies returned. The deputation was then received ha private jicrsons. No political matters were touched ujon in the friendly conversation wliich ensued. m m A Democratic paper is gratified .to know that Gen. L. P. Walker sup- . ports Seymour and Blair and thinks they Will be elected. We have not a doubt he does, and Capt. Wirtz would undoubtly do the same had he leen ppared a few years longer. Gen. L. P. Walker is the man who as Secretary of war in the Confederate Government ordered Beauregard to open fire upon Fort Sumpter.
