Two Planks for our Union Platform.

bjt excellent candidate! fjr nominations
an eirellent ticket can bar madevtfrith
ready unanimity. T he gxet . principles
which have guided the party ofjbe LTnjon
during our long and succeful content iih
the alave-holdera' rebellion will be re
affirmed with heartiness and enthufisstn,
and the administration of Andrew John
ton will be endorsed cheerfully and ener
getically. But there is one q lestion, never
yet agitated in our politic, which thsefcao
of the war has suddenly' efoked, and
which, lika the ghoet of Basquo, will jo',
down, eren at the bidding of Pretiflent
Johnson. The fujctof negro suffra?e
ha auddanly become one of vital import
ance and interest to the country, and upon
its right and proper decision, in the recon
struction of the rebellious "btates, depends
in a great meacure the future weal of the
republic. A question so momentous should
be approached wkh careful and thought
ful p uienci. It cannot be shirked; it
etnnot be dodged ; it must be met and d
cided; and until it is rightfully solved all
schemes of reconstruction will bear no
fruit but anarchy and fulure. It is of
treat importance, then, that our a ate
Conventi n, one of the first aulhorizid
assemblages of the Union party since the
issue was developed, should take a dee'ded
stand upon the question. The declarations
which wr, in ounimon with most loyal men,
desire to see made, are two. They will be
strorg planks in a Union Platform. The
first is:
I. yA right of franchise shtttfd be tx-
Unded to the colored nun of the South.
How this should be done through exactly
what channel the end should be effjoted
it is perhaps too early for us to dster-
miae that it must be done no true loyalist
can doubt Justice and national honor
demand that the mn who have been
called on to perform the higbeit dutks of
cit'UDS to bear arms for the country
should be admitted to the right of cuizer.
ship. Again,the measire ia an essential one
for protection to the freedmen themserves,
now a hated and despised claer, more miser
able in persecuted feeedom than even in
the degradation of slavery. Again, the
safety of the Union Use f demands negro
fuff.-aze. Without the blacks, there is not
a loyal msj'irlty, fit to be entrusted with
the managument of a state, throughout the
length and breadth of the late rebellious
territory. But the ballot ot the colored
man will prove the bulwark of the Union.
It creates a power ia the land a power,
which, united with that of the loyal whites,
is a guarmtee of peace and Union every
where. To grant suffrage to the colored
man, will le to save us the expense, the ir-;
ritntion, and tne danger of a standing,
army of two hundred thousand men. Negro
suffrage in the rebellious states is thus at
once essential and wise. i .
But with what show or pretext of justice
can the Unionists of Ouio demand the
ballot for the freedmen of the toulb, wnile
they refuse it to the comparatively edu
cated and colored men of their own State?
Our power to interfure with Southern suf
frage may be denied or doubted our power
and right to regulate the franchise in Ohio
needs no demonstration. And whether
jstly or not, the word ? white" in our
institution will be used wi'b terrible effect
by our opponents to demonstrate our in
sincerity and inconsistency in declaring for
negro suffrage in the South, The editor of
the Nashville Preu and Time says :
It does not seem t occur to many advo
cates of colored suffrage n the furthers
States that their censure of the tioutbern
Slates would have infinitely greater lorce
ar,d p.int if the Northern states them
selves would set the exarr.ple and teach by
practice as well as by preoept.
There is force and truth in these words.
Let us pluck the beam out of our own eye
before meddling with the mote in our
brother's. And this suggests our second
plank, v't:
IL The State Constitution must le so
amended at to give eguil suffrage to white
ar,d black. The wold "'white'' must be
stricken from- Article 6, Section 1, of the
Constitution of Ohio. Unless this be done
our own example confute our argument
in favor of negro suffrage in the South.
But the essential righteuusnefsof the pro
posed amendment rests on higher ground
that this, bhall the colored ; citizen of
Ohio, who went forth with his musket to
do battle for his country, denied commis
sion, denied equal pay with the white sol
dier, denied bounty meeting everywhere
rebuff, insult, discouragement who, in
spite of these obstacles, forced himself into
the army, and has fought, sun jred, tiled for
our Unijn shall this returning hero be
hooted from the ballot-box, while the ob
sequious Judge receive-the ballot cf a
Vailandigham or an Edson B. Olds? Shall
not the martyred patriot who fell at Wag
ner or Fort Pillow leave to his children
the priceless legacy, bought with his biood,
of the citizens ballot? Shall the colored
defenders of our government be refused a
right which Knights of the Golden Circle,
sympathiz-rs with secession, conspirators
against the country, exercise openly and
defiantly?
Sutlrage is a righl which beW.gs t man.
hood. A priori it u the r'ght ol every
litixen. . Some dtlioite .diequt)ificaticn
should . exist in order to - deprive a
man of his vote and that dis
qualification should apply to him as an
individual and not as a member of a class-
Is a certain persona criminal? Exclude
him if you have law then f jr. Is he de
fective in intelligence or in formation
Exclude him if you have law therefyr.
But to exclude a man from the privilege of
suffrage because his skin is black is as un
just and arbitrary as to exclude another
because hit hi hair is r0. ----- -
These, then, are our two planks: The
ballot to the black loyalist of the South
Equal suffrage to black and white in Ohio.
We do not apprehend objection to the jus
tice of either of these proposition. Two
arguments; however, will be urged against
them wh on must be briefly aoiicei t V
It will be obj ?cted that our fi ret proposition
is jn direct opposition to the government.

tion' to the'Statef : in deciding it your

Against our second plank some over
timed politicians will urge that it can never
be successful,- and that its assertion will
weaken the strength of the party. That
it cannot succeed without declaration and
support; js most obvious, but it is clear that
an earnest canvass on the amendment, a
careful te'ection of candidates for the State
Legislature, and an agitation of the sub
ject In the Legislature and before tba peo
ple must result in its adoption. Kor will it
weaken the party. Without it we have no
issue on which to wage a campaign. Suav
ely is dead; rebellion is dead; old State
and local issues are dead, buried and for
gotten. And bow much better is it to win
a contest .n which nothing is at sUka than
temporarily to be repulsed in a strvggle
for a ritjhteous cause? But we shall not be
defeated. Wo havs.ahe atrongtb. of num
bers ; we have the greater strength of

true to ourselves.

VIRGINIA ELECTION AND APPOINTMENTS.
Boo. J. E. B. Eager, of Virginia, pub
lishes a letter in to-day's Inkllieencar, de
nying that disloyal men were allowed to
vote in the recent election held in several
counties of the State, and says that if
there has been a disloyal man thus fir
elected in Virginia he does not know him.
In regard to Governor Pierpont's appnint
ment, be says the Governor has not only
adopted a high standard of moral and in-
tellaatnal fitness; but his appointees are
I believe, without exception, pre eminent
ly loyal. Mayor Kayo was not an origin
al appointment of his, but if the Governor
be allowed to go quietly on with the work
of reorganization and reconstruction he
has so auspiciously begun, no loyal man
need feel the result. Many loyal Virgin
ians think differently.

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, June 19.
- Mr. Campbell read tbe argument ad
dressed to the President and gentlemen of
the military cemmistioo, signed by Hon
Bvtrdy Johnson and concurred in by Mr.
Fred. A. Aiken and Mr. - John. M. Clam
pitt, associate counsel for Mrs. Mjiry E.
Surratt. It commences by asking if thri
ormmissr'on haa jurisdiction ot the cases
beforn, and by calling attention to the great
i rp jriance of the question. It refers lo the
duiy of the oomoii.ion to consider it, and
Oeehtre if the commission is unauthorized
tbe act of establishing it is a usurpation on
the part of tbe Extcutive. . It then pro
ceeds to say that the Constitution dcflies
the powert and duties of the Executive
ard provides punishment fjr hit violation
of taem. Therefore he possesses no powers
beyond what the Constitution confers, nnd
this ao, being beyond his authority, can
lurnisu no defense against tbe legal consequence
of whatever may be done under it,
and whatever is done is utterly illegal.
The Commission must therefore decide
this question before pronouncing judgment;
that a tribunal like this hat no j l-uaiction
over them, other than military officer, and
he beliavod it to be evident toai offdnsts
defined and puni-hed by the civil law, and
whose Uiali-JS pruvided for by the same
law, are not the subject of military juris
diction. A military, as contradistinguish
ed fr-m a civil t ff-inse, must therefore be
made to appear, an d when it is it must aleo
appear that mi'i'.ary law provides lor its
trial and punishment. If that law don't
furnith a mode of trial or affix a punish
ment, the ca'e is unprovided for, and as far
as miliary power ii concerned, is to go un
punished ; bat as either the civil, c. ramon
or statute law embraces every species
of offense that the United States
have deemed neceseary to publish
in all tuch cases. The civil c'urts are
clothed wits every necessary jurisdiction.
In a military court If the ctiaige does not
state a crime provided for generally, or
specitlly by any of the articles of wr, the
prisoner must be discharged. O'Brien,
page 2.635 Nor is it sufficient that the
charge is known 'o military law. The
offender when he commits it must be sub
jict to military jurisdiction. General law
has undisputed jurisdiction ovar all. The
ml itary law pu s forth no such
pretension. It aims fo'ely to enforce an
eoldier the additional duiloe he has asum-d
It constitutes tribunals for the trial cf
breaches of mi itary law only. (O' Brian,
ptge 26 and 27 ) The one code, tne civil,
emoraces all citizens, whether soldiers or
not, other military law ha no jurisdiction
over any citizens as tuch, if the p'ovisions
of the constitution clearly maintain tbe
same doctrine. Toe executive has no au
thority to declare war, to rai-e and sup
port armies, to provide and maintain a
navy, or to make rules f r the government
or regulation of either force ; these powers
ee exclusively in the hand, of Congress.
The army cannot bi raised or have laws
for iu government and regulation except
aa Con gress shall provide. Tbe power cf
Congress was granted by tbe convention
without objection. In England the King,
at general. i-a'mo of the whole kingoom,
has tfcis sole power, though Parliament has
frequently interposed and regulated fir it
sell, but with the United S.ates it was
thought fafist to give the entire power tn
Congress, since otherwise summary and
severe punishment might be inflicted. No
member of the convention or commentator
on the Constitution si ice has intimated
even that this Congressional power cculd
be applied to citizsns not belonging to the
army or navy. The powers given to Con
gress is to make rules for the government
and regu'ation cf the land andnavnl forces.
No arunce of irnrantiiw can maks thean
words include tbote wqo do not oeiuui; to
tbe army or navy, and tbey are therefore
to be construed to esclude all others as if
the nega'ive word to that effect were added.
And this is not only obvi us meaning of
terms, considered by themselves, but is de
monstrable lrom other provisions of tbe
.constitution, so jealous were our ancestors
of ungrated power, and so vigilant to pro
tect citizens azainst it that they were un-
willing to leave him to a safeguard which
proper construe ion as originally aaoptea
furnished. In this they resolved that
noiu.ng au.,u.u " . "-":.

stitutional amendment, declaring that no
parson shall be held to answer for
capital or otherwise infamous crimn,
unless on a presentment or indictment of
the grand jury, except in casa arieing m
land or naval lorces or in mum when in
active service in time of war or public
danger. This view it elaborated by refer
ence to tha highest legal authority, and
constitutional questions are discussed

fathers thought so vital to individual liber

STEPHENS.
- ..The Times' Washington special says that
Alexander H. Stephens, in his lengthy ar
gument on the reasons which induced him
to join the Confederacy, says he always
believed la the right of secession, but
never ia the policy. He was educat to
believe in the right ot secession, frcm
whence sprung hit convictions, and be was
ttrenthened in his convictons by the last
annual SBcsssge of President Buchanan,
and the , opinion of Attorney General
Black. H-i was also confirmed in his views
by the able and honest efforts oi the New
York Tribune. He claims that he exerted
all his faculties to prevent secession, and
that he accepted the Vice Presidency of
the Confederacy only because it was ten
dered to him unanimously, and for preserv
ing, as far as it lay in his power, those
groat principles of freedom which lie at
the foundation of American Constitution
al liberty. He desired to make the Con
stitution of the Confederacy liks that of
the United States as near as pa-eible. In
this he claims he succeeded. All points in
regard to liberty and freedom were his
work. ' "
The Times' special says: The stories
about Mr. Stephen's harsh treatment and
failing hea th are untrue. He is kept like
say other distinguished prisoner, and his
health is at good as usual. '
SPECULATIONS.
The Tribune's special says: There it a
large amount of European capital now
seeking investment in Southern lands,
which will be expended wherever the
statutes of Southern State and their land
titles shall insure lit saieiy.
All the various Southern delegations here,
as well aa all provisional i doers appoint

Provisional Government established by
the rebels to fly. There is a great deal ol

THE FOLLY OF PAYING THE NATIONAL
DEBT BY SUSPIRATION.
. Emerging us ¬
gantic war tne world hai ever seen, with.
t4e retcied R-public oo our shoulders, ii
was-bec mirg lha ss we marched ho'ne
to peace and tw labor, some of us shou'd
exultantly propose to pay ff instantly tna
huge oebi of our great salva'.ion. 1 wis a
war song. It was p'exsaot to bear. But
tbe thing cannot be done. First, because
the fuceed debts of the United S.a'es are
contracts to ptv money. These contracts
cannot be varied, except by agreement be
tween the parties. Tna Two Husdred
Million, ol March 3, 13-34, rede-mble in 10
years, and payable, at thecp'ion of t he .
nrnment.iu 40 years, cannot be pail in 18u5,
by tne t Orce ot patriotic or other contriou
tion of money. Tba five hundred tniihoa
loan of February, ISbL reieemab.e in five
years, and payaole iu twenty, cannot be
wiped out by ereen docks or town meeting
enthusiasm. Mnh of it is held in Gei
maLy, and the Germans, Ike other people
''stand upon the ooi.d. fo wiin the
rven-Tbiny loan. It is scetred from
California to Maine, from Minnesota tf
Louisi tna, in sums of $50, $100, and $1,000;
and is he d for interest, recording to eon
tract, and for tafely cf investment.

therr globes of coin back whence they
started, nnligbtened by the taking out cf
