OEM0 the National Bepublicau Party. Adopted at Chicago, May 21,' 1868.

Hie following platform, reported bythe Committee ori Resolutions, waaunanimously adopted by the NationalReDublican Convention in session atChicago :

The National Republican party othe United States, assembled in Nat-ional Convention in the city of Chicagoon the 20th dav of May. 1868, makethe following declaration of principles :

First. We congratulate the countryon the assured success of the recon-struction nroiects of Congress, as evinced bv the adoption, in a malority ofthe States lately in rebellion, of con--

. . e . . 1 "1 Jstitutions securing equal civil aimpolitical rights to all, and regard it asthe duty of the government to sustainthese institutions and to prevent thepeople of such States from being remitted to a state of anarchy.

Second. The guarantee of Congressoi equal BUiirue kj tu luai mcu uithe South was demanaea vj everyconsideration of public safety, of gratitude, and of lustice. and must bemaintained, while the question ofsuffrage in all the loyal States properIv belongs to the people of those States

Third, we denounce au iorms oirepudiation as a national crime, andhonor requires the paymentof the na--tinoal indebtedness in the utmost goodfaith to all creditors, at home andabroad,. . . . not. only

iaccording. . to the letter

i lout tne spine oi me laws unaer wiucuit was contracted.

Fourth. It is due to the labor of thenation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as thenational faith will permit.

Fifth. The national debt, contractedas it has been for the preservation ofthe Union for all time to come, shouldbe extended over a fair period for redemption, and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of interestthereon whenever it can possible bedone.

Sixth. That the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is to so lmprove ourcredit that capitalists willseek to loan us money at lower rates ofinterest than we now pay, and mustcontinue to pay so long as repudiation,partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or suspected.

Seventh. The government or theUnited States should be administeredwith the strictest economy, and thecorru ptions whic h have been so shamefully nursed and fostered by AjadrewJohnson call loudly for radical reform.

Eighth. "We profoundly deplorethe untimely and tragic death ofAbraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of Andrew Johnson to thePresidency, who has acted treacherously to the people who elected himand the cause he was pledged to support ; has usurped legislative and jud-icial functions ; has refused to executethe laws ; has used his high office toinduce other officers to ignore and violate the laws ; has employed his executive power to render insecure theprosperity, peace, liberty, and life ofthe citizens ; has abused the pardoning power ; has denounced the Nation'al Legislature as unconstitutional;has persistently and corruptly resisted,by every means in his power, everyproper attempt at the reconstructionof the States lately in rebellion ; hasperverted the public patronage Intoan engine of wholesale corruption, andias been justly impeached for highcrimes and misdemeanors, and prop-erly pronounced guilty by the votesof thirty-nv- e benators.

JNinth. lhe doctrine of Ureat .Britain and other European powers, thatbecause a man is once a subject he isalways so, must be resisted at everyhazard bv the United States as a rolio.of the fedual times, not authorized bythe law or nations and at war with ournational honor and independence.Naturalized citizens are entitled io beprotected in all their rights of citizenship as though they were native born,and no citizen of the United States.native or naturalized, must be liableto arrest and imprisonment by anyforeign cower for acts done or wordsspoken in this country. And if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the duty ofthe Uovernment to mtenere in hisbehalf..

Tenth. Of all who were faithful inthe trials of the late war there are noneentitled to more especial honor thanthe brave soldiers and seamen whoendured the hardships of campaignand cruise.and imperiled'their lives inhe service or their country. The

bounties and pensions provided bylaw for these brave defenders of thenation are obligations never to be for-gotten. The widows and orphans ofthe gallant dead are tne waras or thepeople, a sacred legacy bequeathed tothe nation's protecting care.

Eleventh. Foreign emigration.which in the past has added so muchto the wealth and development of theresources and the increase of power ofthis nation, "the asylum of the op-Dress- ed

ofall nations,'' should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal andust policy.Twelfth. This convention declares

its sympathy with all the oppressedpeople who are struggling for theirrights.

On motion or uen. cari ocnurz, thefollowing additional resolutions weunanimously adopted as part of theplatform :

llcsolved. That we highly commendthe spirit of magnanimity and forbear-ance with which the men who haveserved in the rebellion, but now franklyand honestly co-oper- ate with us inrestoring the peace of the country andreconstructing the Southern State gov-ernments upon the basis of impartialjustice and equal rights, are receivedback into the communion of the loyalpeople: and we favor the removal ofthe disqualifications and restrictionsimposed upon the late rebels in thesame measure as their spirit of loyaltywill direct, as may be consistent withthe safety of the loyal people.

It Is easy to make them understandthat the reason they have not received higher Wages and made more mohey is owing-t- o the exorbitant tax thatthe planter has had to pay. it is easyto prove to them that their interest isthoroughly identified with the manwho - owns the land and mules theproposition that labor and capitalmust work together is simple andeasily impressed upon them.

Impress it upon them that Northernimmigration brings with it Icankeeimprovements: machinery that oneman can take and do the work of tenmen. This leaves nine idle ; that itmakes lands worth ntty dollars peracre that can now be bought for five ;

that we require their labor becausewe are used to it ; and if they forceRadical rule upon us the Yankee willoverrun the country, and their occupa--will be gone, and lands will be so highthat they cannot purchase homes forthemselves and families.

Your club organizations are necessary to protect tne person and property or your colored friends from thepersecutions of the League. Youmust protect them with your lives:you owe it to your manhood 1

Gov. Seymour's Loyalty.A gentleman writes to the Chicago

Republican:"Once, and only once. I saw and

heard Horatio Seymour ; and me-thin- ks

that none who then heard him,be thev Renublicans or Demncrfttiiare in doubt as to where Horatio Sey-mour's sympathies were, in the greatcontest for the nation's life. Well doI recollect it : it was in 1862. when thenews of Grant's capture of Fort Don- -elson ran from heart to heart as it didalong the wires. It was the first signal success of Northern arms. Gov.Seymour was in Milwaukee, a guest atthe Newhall House. He was calledupon by the crowd for a speech. Butwhat a speech for such an hour ! Soheartless and cold were lm wordsthey seemed to freeze as they fell.Each sentence Was like water uponflame. Not an expression of thank-fulness for the nation's prospect ofdeliverence ; not a word of congratu-lation fJr a great victory : not a wordof praise for our brave boys in blue :not a breath of hope for a successfulsequel to the war. It was the generalremark among the hearers, aftpr hhad finished, that all he had said couldnave been uttered as consistently andas earnestly by Jefferson Davis him-self, upon the same occasion. ThatHoratio Sevmour's svmnathips wpmthat night with the parricides of thenation, few that there heard him willever disbelieve."

" THE THREE CRIJIES.An Eastern Tale.

Hamet Abdallah was an inhabitantof a grotto on one of the slopes of MountOlympus. When he stood at the ent-rance of his humble dwelling, hecould embrace at one glance all theterritory originally possessed byOsman, the founder of the OttomanEmpire: and, as he five times a dayoffered up his prayers to Allah, heinvoked blessings upon the head ofSolyman the Magnificent, the reign-ing Sultan in whose time he lived.Indeed, Abdallah was renowned forhis sanctity; and the inhabitants ofthe vicinitv of his dwelling treatedhim with the most marked respect.- -

.TT A 1 itll 1 Jlie was noi, nowever, enuueu tothis excessive veneration by his age,for he had scarcely attained his for-tieth year when the incident of thistale took place. His venerable father,who was himself a dervise of greatsanctity, and whose years amountedto four score, resided with him in thesame grotto; and iortunateiy wasdeemed the individual who, on hisway along the slopes of the Olympus,was anoweu io jom m me prayers uithe two dervises, kneeling upon theground at the entrance of the cave,and turning their countenances to-

ward the holy cities of Mecca andMedina.

Hamet Abdallah was one morningroving amidst the groves and woods,which extended up the mountain farabove his grotto, and pondering uponthe passage in the Koran, which hehad been perusing but a short timepreviously, when his root suddenlystruck against something hard uponthe ground. He looked downward,and saw an iron ring fastened to asmall brass plate, which was let intoa square of stonework, and seemed tocover a hollow place or well. Obeyinga sudden impulse of curiosity, Hametapplied his hand to the ring and pull-ed it with all his force. After manyvain exertions the brass plate yieldedto his efforts, and he fell backwardwith the sudden shock.

Before he had time to rise and examine the aperture thus laid bare, adense volume of smoke Issued fromthe hole, and ascended in the air tothe height of several thousand feet.

Hamet gazed with astonishmentupon this strange apparition ; buthow much was his wonder excitedwhen he saw the smoke graduallybecome more and more palpable andshapely, and at length assume theform of an immense giant, with a longflowing white beard, and a tremend-iou- s

pine tree in his right hand.Hamet fell upon his' knees, and wasabout to put, up a prayer to heaven,when the terrible apparition addressedhim in a voice of thunder :

4Nay: mention not the name ofthe Deity, or I will cut thee into tenthousand pieces!"

"Who art thou?" demanded Hamet, raising from his suppliant posture.

"I am Kara, an evil Genie, whomvictorious power shut up in that

accursed hole, where I have languished for two thousand years. It is an evilday for thee that brought thee hither."

"And wherefore, proud Genie?"demanded Hamet,

"Because I am about to kill thee,in order to avenge myself upon someone for this long captivity."

At these words llamet tremDieavery much, and besought the Genieto spare his life. Jt or a long lime meGenie was inexorable, and orderedhim to prepare for immediate death;but at length he sunerea nimseii to Demoved by the prayers and entreatiesof the virtuous dervise.

"Hark Ve." said the Genie, "I amwilling to spare yourSfe upon onecondition."

"Name it," eaid Hamet, his heartleaping with joy.

"I will grant your request I say,"proceeded the Genie, "on conditionthat you perpetrate some crime whichmay diminisn your overweening prideof conscious virtue. Do not interruptme, or I will kill you upon the spotjbut listen. I give you your choice orthree of the most heinous crimeswhich I can imagine. You shalleither violate the law of the Prophetand drink your fill of good wine J oryou shall murder your venerable oldfather ; oryou shall curse the name ofthe Deity whom you worship. Choosebetween these three crimes."

Then Hamet was very sorrowful,and he endeavored tmelt the heartof the evil Genie; but all hi3 prayersand entreaties were unavailing. Heaccordingly went to reason with Lim-sel- f.

"If." said he. "I a?sa?:nit3 mvfather, no contrition can wipe awaymy crime, and moreover the law willovertake me with its vengeance. IfI curse the name of the great Allah,I may sieh in vain for future happiness in the garden of Paradise. Butif I become inebriate with the juiceof the grape, I can cexpiate that faultby severe mortification, penance andrenewed prayer."

Then, turning his countenence up-ward toward the Genie,, he said: "Ofountain of all evil! I have made mychoice, since thou art determined upon this injury."

"Name the object of that choice,"said the Genie.

"I will get drunk with wine, astne least or the crimes which youpropose," answered the dervise.

"Be it so," cried the Genie; "thisevening, after the hour of prayer,thou wilt find a jar of Cyprus wine onthe table, when thy father has retiredto rest in his own cell. Thou mayestfullfill thy promises then ; but woeunto thee if thou deceiveth me!"

The Genie gradually became lesspalpable as he snoke these words r

and, by the time the concluding men-ace issued from his lips, he had vanished altogether. Hamet retraced hissteps toward the grotto, with asorroW'ful heart ; but he would not confidehis anticipated disgrace to the affectionate parent who welcomed his return.

The day passed rapidly away : andin the evening Hamet and his sireknelt down as usual at the door of thegrotto, with their aces toward thesouth, to raise their voices In prayer.When their vespers were concluded,the old man embraced his son tenderly,and retired to the inner part of thegrotto.

As soon as Hamet knew that hisfather slept, he lighted a lamp ; and,as the Genie had told him, he saw alarge measure of wine standing uponthe table. The unhappy dervise rais-ed it to his lip3, and drank deeply ofthe intoxicating draught A glow offire seemed to electrify his frame, andhe laughed as he set the vessel downupon the table. Again he drank, andhe felt reckless and careless of the consequences, lie drank, a third time ;and, when he had emptied the meas-ure, he ran out of the door of thegotto,and threw it down the slope of themountain; then, as he heard it bound-ing along, he laughed with indescrib-able mirth. saw his father standingbehind him.

"Son," said the old man, "the noiseof revelry awoke me from my slumbers, and I rise to find my belovedHamet drunken with wine! Alas!is this merely one of the many nights'orgies; and have I now awoken tothe dread truth of thine impiety forthe first time? Alas! thou hast castashes upon the gray head or thinefather."

Hamet could not brook this accusation and the implied suspicion thathe was accustomed to indulge in winewhile his father slept. He felt sud-denly indignant at the language ofhis sire, and cried, "Return to yourcouch, old dotard! Thou knowestnot what thou say est !"

And, as he uttered these words, hepushed his father violently into thegrotto. The old man resisted, andagain remonstrated with Hamet.The brain of the son was confusedwith liquor; and a sudden dread ofexposure to the world entered hismind. With the rage of a demon herushed upon his hoary-heade- d sire,and dashed him furiously against thestone wall of the grotto. The old manfell with his temple against a sharpflint. One groan emanated from hisbosom and hi3 spirit fled forever.

Suddenly conscious, of the horridcrime of which he had been guilty,Hamet tore his hair, beat his breast,and raved like a maniac. And, inthe midst of his ravings, he lifted uphis voice against the majesty of hea- -

and cursed the Deity whom hehad so long and fervently worshiped !

At that instant a terrible din ech- -oce round about the thunder rolled

the tall trees shook with an earthquake and, amidst the roar of theconflicting elements were heard shoutsof in fernal laughter. All hell seemed torejoice at the fall of a good man, whomno other vice had ever tempted awayfrom the paths of virtue until drunkenness presented itself. The rage ofthe storm increased the trees weretorn up by their roots and fragmentsof the rocky parts of Olympus rolleddown the hill with the fury of anAlpine avalanche. Suddenly theGenie appeared before the wretchedHamet, and exclaimed: "Fool! bychoosing to commit the crime whichseemed to thee least, thou hast com--

simitted the other two likewise i r orthere is more danger in the wine-cu- p

than In anv other means of temptation presented by Satan to mankind!"

And the last worus oi me vjreuiemingled with the redoubled howlingof the storm, as Hamet wa3 bornedown the slope of the mountain bythe falling masses, and dashed to pieces at the bottom.

The Cattle Plague.The New York Exztrez savs that" the Cattle disease, no' doubt, is a se-

but in every Case, it is said, onlyaiurrraii from Illinois were the vietims." Thi.3 goes to show that thedisease is to. a great extent local andnot epidemic. .

A letter to the Chicago I2evublican.dated at Sadonis, Illinois, August 5th,says:

. Since, the 1st of June last six to tefrthousand: Texas cattle' were broughtto this county and pattered all overit. Thd result id. all of our nativecattle are diseased. SadomY and Tol--ono townships have already lost oversix nunured head or cattle, and it nowseems we are only iri the midst of it.I see from the agricultural report thatas eany.as isoa Kails county, Missouri,sunerea irom this same cattle disease.The trade was continued until 1858.when horses and sheep, also the Texas

The Troy (N. Y.) Times says :'

"There is every reason to believethat the dreaded cattle fever or pestilence which has caused such havocamong the herds of Illinois and otherWestern States, has made its appearance in this vicinity. Its ravages thusfar seem to have been confined toGreenbush and vicinity, but it i3 evidently spreading, and unless greatvigilance is exercised may be fearfulin its results. The first case reportedoccurred about a weeK ago, a cow be-longing to Mr. Aiken being found inthe pasture dead. At first it was supposed she was struck by lightning.The next day, however, another cowsuddenly died, and up to the presenttime Mr. Aiken has lost eight. Sev-eral other persons have lost cattle bythe same disease, and during the pastweek probably twelve have died. Theanimals are sick but a few hours, andthe only symptoms they exhibit Is aslight bleeding at the nose. They willapparently be well at night, and in themorning be found dead. There ishardly a doubt-tha- t this is the samedisease which prevails among thewestern cattle, and that it has beenbrought here by infected droves fromIllinois. It is said to have made itsappearance in Buffalo about a fort-night since, also at Cincinnati andother places.

" In this locality its fatal results havenot been confined to cattle alone. . Ayoung man named Abram Smith, employed by Abram G. Wands, whoalso lost two cows by the disease,skinned one of the Cows that died onWednesday last. His hands and armswere somewhat scratched by berrybushes, and iri this manner the pois-onous matter of virus was innoculatedinto his arm. The limb began toswell and pain him very much. Heconsulted a physician, but his condit-ion" rapidly grew worse, and on Sat-urday resulted in his death. His fu-

neral will take place to-da-y. A sisterof the deceased, who attended him inhis' last illness, kissed him after hisdeath, and wa3 also infected by thedisease. This morning she is lyingvery low. and it is thought cannot recover. Another man named Ustran- -der waa subsequently affected in thesame manner, but is still alive. Thatthe death of Smith was the result ofthe infection there is no doubt. Thesefacts show that caution should beused, not only in preventing thespread of the contagion, but in touching the diseased animals."

Democratic Retrenchment.A Legislative session of 134 days, at

An adjournment to the tirst or jNov- -ember, with probability ofa six monthssession next.

Near One Hundred Thousand Dolors excess of Legislatve salaries wast-ed ths idiots, insane and other unfortunates left with an insufficientappropriation, for the purpose of mak-ing a show of retrenchment.

Tax --payers, how do you like it ?The expense of the last session of

the Democratic Legislature were S4C6,000 at least $100,000 in excess-- of whatthey should have been.

The adjourned session will commence on the 23d of November next,and will swell the whole expence oflegislation for the year to $215,000.

The entire expenses of the Republican Legislature last year were $93,843.

Such is Democratic retrenchment.The foregoing is from the Colum

bus Journal. Keep these fact3 beforethe people !

The Delaware Gazette completesthe indictment. It says:

In return for this v aste of the peo-ple's money We have the disfranchise-ment of our crippled soldiers at theDayton Home; a stigma placed uponintelligence by making knowledge abar to voting; a revolutionary attemptto trample under foot the Constitutionof the State and the decisions of thecourts, in order to rob Republicanvoters of the ballot, a malicious at-tempt to withdraw the assent of theLegislature to the' XlVth Constituti-onal Amendment ratified by the peo-ple by over forty thousand majority ;a wanton and arbitrary interferencewith the elective franchise by enact-ing that the freeman's ballot shall beillegel unless printed on paper of aparticular color ; the unseating of aRepublican Senator, constitutionallyelected, merely to increase a factiousand accidental majority ; a large num-ber of aditional judges heavily salariedat the expense of the State ; a vastamount of special legislation and lo-

cal taxes ; no Farmer's College ; noReform School for Girls ; no Asylumfor the Chronic Insane ; no readjust-ment of taxation.

Such is Democratic legislation.

Rumor has it that there is greatcoolness between Queen Victoria andher eldest daughter, the Princes Royalof Prussia. The latter is said to haveurged her mother to desist from herpurpose of abdicating her crown andretiring to Castle Rosenau, in Thurin-gi- a.

Her sister Alice, the Princess ofHesse-Darmsta- dt, is said to have addedgreatly to the estrangement betweenher mother and her eldest sister, ofwhom she Is exceedingly jealous. Itis even believed that the Queen hasmade a will, in which she disinheritsthe Crown Princess of Prusia, andleaves the bulk of her fortune to thePrincesses Alice.

They Were uncoualodin the art of preserving dead todiesfrom putrefaction'. The first nationalpolice ever known in history were or-iginated by th'em. They were thafirst who consecreated each day in thayear to1 a particular god and thismethod of forming the calendar hasbeerx imitated and' preserved to thopresent time ; the gods having yieldedtheir places to thesaint3 of a Christian'era. In their estimation of women,and in the respect shown to them, theywere not equaled by any nation ofantiquity. The honor and reverencoshown to the aged is another factwhich exalts their civilization. Theyoriginated the worship of departedheroes; and were the hrst authors ofmany of the gods and goddesses weread of in classic story.

They were celebrated for the manu-facture of cloths, which equaled laperfection and fineness the most per-fect fabric of the present day. So wellwere they skilled In the manufactureof glass, and in the manner of stain-ing it of various hues, that thevcounterfeited with success the amethyst and other precious stones.

Theirmariners made long voyages to distant,parts of the earth. One of their shipsleft the Red Sea and explored thawhole coast of Africa, returning throthe Straits of Gibraltar. They workedthe tin mines of Cornwall, in Eng-land, long before the Britons were acivilized people. Their mining operations were carried oa upon a stupendous scale, aud by very scientificmethods. Among their lost arts wasthat of cutting and polishing thehardest stone ; and no one can tell ofthe means employed for cutting in-scriptions, frequently to the depth ofmore than two inches, with a minute-ness and finish which is truly surpris-ing.

They were well acquainted with'mechanical powers and the mode ofapplying a locomotive force with thomost wonderful success. Who cantell the secret of that power whichquarried immense blocks of granite,hundreds of tuns in weight, or bywhat appliances they were transportedover a space of several hundreds ormiles to their places of destination.Their wonderful knowledge of mech-anism in the erection of Immen30pillars, many feet in bight and crow-ned with lintel stones forty feet longand five feet square. The differentorders of architecture are distinctlytraceable to them. No people, ancientor modern, have equaled them in thograndeur, massiveness and costlinessof their structures; and their everlas-ting architecture exists to-da-y, thoughin ruins, to proclaim the wonderfulmechatdcal knowledge of its founders. .

The Colored Tote ot the South. '

One of the most significant featuresof the political canvass now going onin the South, is the fact that the Dem-ocratic party is entering into an' ani-mated and, apparently, not altogetherunsuccessful competition with the Re-publicans for the vote of the coloredpeople. In Georgia the Democratsput forward the claim that they willget, at least, 40,000 of the 90,000 negrovotes of that State. In Georgia thoDemocrats, headed by Howell Cobb,have formed a sort of League, thomembers of which pledge themselvesnot to give work to any negroes whocannot show that they are membersof some colored Democratic club. Itis stated that there are fourteen coloredDemocratic clubs in Savannah, Ga.,and that "numerous accessions" arereceived at every meeting. The bad-ges of these clubs are exhibited bycolored men seeking labor as proofthat they intend voting the Democrat-ic ticket. The Republicans aver thatthe colored men who join these clubs,do so under coercion to procure em-ployment, and that they will "playpossum " when the election comes,and vote the Republican ticket. '

They have at least one girl of un-doubted "loyality" in Illinois. JudgaGriffin was holding court ia Aledo,while a camp meeting was in progressnear by. Certain young ladies fromthe campground came over and solicit-ed lodging3. The landlady repliedthat every bed contained two lodgers,except one, and that was occupied byJudge Griffin. "But come "

shesaid, "andl'llfindaplace foryou."She led. The young ladies followed.One of them, bursting into tears, buri- - '

ed her fac in her hands, and leaningover the railing sobbed bitterly, ex-claiming in broken accents : "L I Idon't want to sleep with JudgeGriflin ;he he's a copperhead." There is nodiscount on that girl's "loyality."
