After the most solemn and unanimous pledge of both Uonies of Congress to prosecute the war ex clusively for tbe maintenance of the Government -and the preservation of the Vnion under the Con stitution, it has repeatedly violated that most sa cred pledge uader which alone was rallied that noble volunteer army which carried oar flag to Ticiory. injitia 01 restoring tne union it has, 89 far as in its power, dissolved it. and subjected ten States, in time of profound peace, to military despotb-m and negro supremacy. It bas nullified the kaltcu eorj, ut, that most sacred writ of liberty ; it has overthro'vn the freedom of rpeeeh and the press; it has substituted arbitrary seizures, and arrests, and military trials, and secret star cham- 4er inquisitions for tbe constitutional tribunals ; it ihas disregarded in time of peace the right ot tbe ipeopleto be free from searches and seizures; it has entered th s post and telegraph offices and even the private rooms of individuals, and seized 'their private papers and letters withon( any spe- cluc vuajgo vi nuuee oi auaavir, as requirea oy - f , .... . 4ue organic law ; n oas convene a tne American 'Capitol into a bastile; it bas established a sya tem of spies and official espionage to which no constitutional monarchy of Europe woald now dare to resort; it has abolished the rirht of an- fc peal on important constitutional questions to the orestrov its oricinai inrwdictir.n h;.i i4 ir.

Its corruption and extravagance its frauds and monopolies it has nearly .'doubled tne burden of the debt created by the war. It lias stripped the President of his constitutional power of appointment, even of his own Cabinet. Under us repea-ted assaults the pillars of the Gov eminent are rocking on their base, and should it succeed in November next and inaugurate its President, we will meet as a subjected and con quered people amid the ruins of liberty and the scattered fragments of tbe Constitution. And wo do declare and resolve that ever since the people of the United States threw off all sub jection to the British Crown the p-ivilege and irnst or suffrage cava belonged to the several states, and have been granted, regulated and controlled exclusively by t ie political power of each State respectively, and that any attempt by Congress. on any pretext whatever, to deprive any State of .uia rigui, vi jnicricre wuu us exercise, is a fla grant usurpation of power which can find no war rant in the Constitution, and if sanctioned bv the people will subvert our form- of Government, and can only end in a single centralized and consol idated government in which the separate existence ot tbe btates will be entirely absorbed, and an un -1 i j . i i i . quauaea aespoiiaoa do esiaoiisnea ; in place of a I'e deral Union of coequal States.

That tho President of the United States, Andrew Johnson, in exercising the power of bis high of J fice in resisting the aggressions of Congress npon the Constitutional rights of the Btates and the People, is entitle 1 to the gratitude of the whole American people, and in. behalf o? the Democratic party we tender Lim our thanks for his patriotic efforts in thatregt,ri. . tpon tins Platform the Democratic party ap- peal to every patriot, including all the conserva-1 tivo element and all who deaire to support the Constitution and i-estore the Union, forgetting all past differences of opinion, to unite with us in the present great stru ;gie for the liberties of the peo ple, ana mat to an such, to whatever party they may have heretofore belonged, we extend the right hand of fellowship, and hail all such co-operating wua us as imnas aaa cretnren &W Amnesty for all past political offenses. rv noxv to dwell lengthily Oil the SCV d the regulation of the elective franchise in the , , , . . ,... t . u ates by their citizens. eial planks in the Platform. It IS all THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. Wc publish to-day the Platform adopted by the Democratic National Convention which assembled in New York, July 4, 1808. It will be very readily seen that it is very different from the synopsis heretofore published, manipulated and emasculated as it was by Radical telegraph operators, almost all of whom arc in tho interest of Radicalism. Tho phraso " heresy of secession docs not occur in the platform, but was inserted by theso telegraphic operators. We sometimes feel that it would bo a good thing to wipe out the telegraph entirely, bo- cause it is so terribly prone to misrep resentation and lying. For the last seven or eight years it has been a strictly partizan affair, lying about the. Democratic party as only the fath er of lies himself can lie. It ought either to bo abolished or else a law passed making it a penal offence to conduct it in the manner it has been. For our part we would be glad to sec some of these lying telegraphic oper ators in the penitentiary, with n chain rcct t, ; jf it ho M fail we would advocate hanErincaS ft remedy. .i. . ... . Nc have not time nor is it neeessa wc wanted, expressed in terse and vigorous lancruairc. It is unambisu- ous. it is so plain that no wno runs may read, and that tho wayfaring man. though a fool, need not err therein. Every Democrat should com mit it to memory. It declares that the Ueconstruction acts of Congress are usurpations, and unconstitutional, and void ; hence it is azainst Nccrro Suffrage, and the Social Negro Equal ity which inevitably follows in its train. It is for the immediate resto ration ot the Southern States to their rights in the Union. It declares that the elective franchise should be regu lated by the States instead of by Con- grcss. it declares that the public debt must be paid in greenbacks, ex cept the 10-40 bonds; and that all Government bonds and other public securities, should be taxed according to their value. It declares that the standing army and navy should be reduced; that the nigger bureau should be abolished, as well as all other instrumentalities desisned to secure negro supremacy. It declares in fav- K f fop C P Sfi imports. It declares in favor 'of the , . restoration of rightful authority to, an1 the independence of, the cxecu 1 J tivc and judicial departments of the Lyrr,mf.riT nn,l cI.rti;: ov " " of the military to the civil power, to the end tliat the usurpations of Con gress and the despotism of the sword may cease It declares, our soldiers and sailors must ever be gratefully remembered, and all the guarantees given in their favor must be faith fully carried into execution. And then it' arraigns the the Hadical par- tv. it charges that that partv, m- gtcal cf restoring the Union, has dlS- soivea it, ana suujeciea ten states, in time of profound peace, to military despotism and negro supremacy ; that it has nullified there the right of trial by jury; abolished the habeas corpus overthrown the freedom of speech and the press ; substituted arbitrary seiz ures, and arrests, and military trials, and secret'star-chamber inquisitions for the constitutional tribunals ; convert- cd the American Capitol into a b.18 tile i and filnnpett the President ot UCn 0t ft,S institutional power. Its corruption and extravagance have t j .i 1 i . exceeded anything known in history and by its frauds and monopolies it naS nearly doubled the burden of the debt created by the war. These are gome of the principles embodied in this most admirable Platform. Head it, ponder over it and next November vote fa tho men who stand , upon it Seymour and Blair the Democratic standard bear ers. . - -. A GOOD CAMPAIGN PAI'Ett. The Proprietors of that excellent Democratic paper, the San Francisco Examiner, propose to put their terms for the Campaign at such low rates as to come within the ability of every Democrat, in the land to patronize it. They will furnish their Daily from the first day of August until after the election (over three months) for tlCO dollars, and the Weekly for One (lOl- I far 1 They also proposoto furnish all Re publicans who intend to vote for Grant their paper at the same rates. ad agree to refund them their money in the event that Gen. Grant is elect ed President. The abundant respon sibility of the proprietors guarantees the exact fulfillment of this obliga tion. Republicans and Democrats have thus an Opportunity of getting a COOd i A- - -i paper on very cheap terms. Copies of the Weekly Examiner can be seen . at the Democrat office. CSTlt is understood that Hon. D. W. Voorhees will be the Democratic can- didate for Congress in the Terra Haute district of Indiana. FRANK P. XtLAIR. Tho Mariposa Mail, of a late date, says : Y hen tho Uonloderacy was overthrown and the South laid down her arms, Gen. Ulair demanded tho restoration of tho defeated States to their Constitutional and natural rights in tho Union.

Letter from Frank Itlalr. r ui r from Hlair to J The following lettte the Democratic Convention, will re-1 ceive the endorsement of every treii- 0 I uine Democratic voter in the Union : There is but one way to restore the Government and the Constitution. and that is for the President elect to declare the Reconstruction Acts null and void, compel the arm v to undo its usurpations at the South, dmcrse the "carpctdiag" State governments, allow the white people to reorganize their own governments, and elect Sen ators and Representatives. The I louse of Representatives will contain a majority of Democrats from the North, anu mey win aumii mo Keprescnla- tives elected by the white people of the fcouth ; and with the co-operation . 1 r ., ..... 01 inerouin; anu with the co-opera tion of the President, it will not be difficult to compel the Senate to sub mit once more to the obligations of the Constitution. It will not be able to withstand the public ju.lgmcnt if distinctly invoiced and clearly ex pressed on this fundamental issue, and it is the sure way to avoid all future strife, to put this issue plainly to the country. 1 repeat, mat is tne real and only question which we should allow to control us. Shall we submit to the usurpations by which the Government has been overthrown, or shall wc exert our selves for its full and complete resto ration ? It is idle to talk of green backs, gold? the public faith and the public credit. Vt liat can a Democra tic President do in regard to any of these, with a Congress in both bran ches controlled bv the ucarpct-bag crers" and their allies? -He will be powerless which idle to stop the supplies by negroes are organized into lbs; by which an army is political club maintained to protect these vaga . ... ...

Before introducing to you the various gentlemen who will address you this unm,iwuuui i.-iMvai tcuuci iuS j u my hearty congratulations upon the aus pic ous resultf the deliberations of your National Convention. I congratulate you and all good citi zens throughout the country upon the declaration of principle put forth by that body as truths to which every con servative man of every party can cor dially subscribe. Thp.-e doctrines, be it said, are no new fancied theories of impracticable social and political equality between races which .lim.r rtt(i;.:.liv in nT.f ,,-nK.,lif Ip n,t ir. " t capacity lor republican government. 1 he Democratic parly bar not attempted to reverse the decrees of Providence, or to repeal the laws of nature. On the con trary, the Convention has enunciated those time honored principles upon which the Government of the United States wa3 originally founded, and upon which alone it can permanently exist. It has declared against the eo-called re constructioo policy of Congress, and against all political instrumentalities whose object is to secure negro suprem acy. It demands that Congress shall pay some respect to the limits assigned in the Constitution to its authority, and cease to usurp the powers both of the Executive aud Judiciary. It has promised security for t nose personal rights guaranteed to evcry citizeu by the organic law, and re lief to the over-burdened tax payers from a partial, unjut jind inquisitorial system of. taxation, and ryengev It t has de manded that an end be put to military government, and that tho military cease to override the civil authority in every part ot our country. Thse piinciples and this policy cannot be otherwise than acceptable to every right thinking man without regard to his polit ical conoeption'or prejudices. They must and ought to command universal assent. But I congratulate yoa not only upou the declaration of principles and policy nmde by your Convention, but also upon the choice of your standard bearers You have, as a candidate for the Pres idency ,"a statesman of commanding abil ity, of sound judgment, of ripe experi ence, of tried patriotism, and of excellent character.- .- 7 v. c; . : Even his political opponents aro forced to concede his pre-eminent qualifications flw tbft first civil office in thn Hir.nhli tor the tirst Civil Otnce in the ltepuplio.

Frank P. Blair, I knew intimately twenty years agaj we wore young men together, and I can tell you that the mnuea states contains no truer man np braver soldier, and few abler civilians than General Blair. He is eminentlt fought bravcltr and well on many a well contested field: but after the war was over he sheathed his sword, and like true man held out the hand of reconcile ation to the prostrate and conauered tco pie of the Southern States.
