DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM.
FORM.
The Democracy of Ohio, coming to
gether in the spirit of devotion to the
doctrine and the faith of a free repres
entative government, and relying for
success upon discussion and the intel
ligence of the people, deem the present
convention a fitting occasion to reas
sert'the following time honored princi
ples of the Democratic party.
That the Federal Government is one
of limited powers, derived solely from
the Constitution; that the grants of
power made therein ought to oe stric
tly construed by all the aepenuants
and agents of the government, and
that it is inexpedient and dangerous
to exercise doubtful powers; that the
Constitution of the United States is
founded on the fundamental principle
of entire and obsolute equality of all
theJSstates of the Union, and it is not
competent for Congress to impose
upon themjany conditions or restric
tions, in resnect to the internal con
cern, which the Federal Constitution
has not imposed; that the liberal
principles embodied by Jefferson, in
the Declaration of Independence, and
sanctioned by the Constitution, which
makes ours the land of liberty and an
asylum of the oppressed of every nat-
. . i? i : !
ion, nave ever oeen tne carainai princi
ples f the Democratic faith, and every
attempt to abridge the privileges of
becoming citizens and the owners of
soil among us, ought to be resisted with
the same spirit which swept away the
alien and sedition laws from our stat
ute books: and, in order that we may
more distinctly declare our . views of
tne measures ana policy 01 ine
administration.
Resolved, That we denounce"the
present tariff, as well as the substitute
lately introduced in tha House of
Representatives from the Committee
on ways and means, asja gigantic rob
bery of the labor and industry of ihe
country; that they are solely designed
to advance the interests of a few thou
sand monopolies, and that they should
no longer be submitted to, and that
no candidate for congress, nor for any
other office, is worthy of support who
is not i favor of a low revenue tariS",
which closely opproximates to free
trade; that in the arrangement of any
wenw tariff all the necessaries of life
should be absolutely free of duty.
Resolved, That the Internal Revenue
pysteni of the United States is unen
durable in its oppressive exactions;
that it should be immediately remode
led; that its annoyances of stamps and
licenses, and taxes upon sales and in
come should be abolished; that the
tax itself should be collected by the
State and County officials; that the
multiplication of officers is wholly
unnecessary, except to eat out the
resources of the tax payers, and that
we pledge ourselves to effect a through
reform in this particular.
Evolved, That we denounce the
profligacy in the present administra
tion of theFederal government; the
corruption which has entered all its
official stations, the favoritism which
overlooking fitness for office has
appointed to positions of public trust
the friends or tools of those who con
trol the public patronage, and the
imbecility which directs the destinies
of the Republic, without an apparent
parpose, and manages its affairs with
such embarrassment and disaster to
the material interests f its people at
home, and with such disregard of the
rights' and liberties of its citizens
abroad.
Resolved, That land monopoly is one
of the great evils of our country, and
gainst the spirit of our institutions;
that the whole of -our public lands
ought to be held as a sacred trust to
secure homesteads for actual settlers.
We therefore denounce the recent ac
tion of Congress in making grants to
mamouth railroad corporations, which
are already too powerful, and may be
come dangerous to a free people.
Resolved, That we regard the act
tecently passed by Congress to enforce
the Fifteenth Amendment as unconsti
tutional, unjust, and . oppressive, an
invasion of the rights of the States,
subversive of the best interests of the
people, and - therefore demand its
unconditional repeal.
Resolved, That the power of the
Federal Government to assess and col
lect taxes on the bonds of the United
States, is clear and undoubted, and
we demand of Congress that a share of
x i " 1 1 1 r
taxation, equai to me iair- average
amount levied in each State on money
loaned, shall be assessed and collected
from all investments in bonds.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the
system of National Banks, and demand
the immediate repeal of the law crea
ting them, and that in the place of the
"the United States shall be substituted.
Resolved, That the Democracy of Ohio
sympathize with the efforts of all peo
ple struggling for self government,
and we denounce the truckling of the
Federal Administration to Great Bri
tain and Spain, and the efforts of the
party in power to reduce the whole
States in our Union to a condit;on of
vassalage to the General Government.
Resolved, That the thanks of the
Democracy of Ohio are extended to our
Senator, Allen G. - Thurman, and the
Democratic Representatives in Con
gress, who, though in a small minor'
ity, have bravely contended lor the
principles of Democracy, und the inter
ests of the people; that upon the fore
going riatform we cordially invite all
the electors of Ohio, without regard to
past differences, to vote for the ticket
this day nominated.
Fifteenth District Congressional
Convention.

man for Monroo County, J. P.

War With the Mormons.
There is a fellow in the Unitod
5tatcs Sonate by the namo of Crai
gan; bat where he is from, or what
State he pretends to represent, wo
neither know, nor care to ascertain
by an examination of the list. He
made a long howl in tha Senate
chamber, recently, on the subject
Mormonkni, and urged that war,
with all its dread and dire results,
should bo carried into the Territo
ry of Utah. lie would forco the
Mormons, at the point of the bayo
net, to abolish polygamy, and urg
es the iniliat'.on of a war for that
purpose. We suppose ho was but
gitinjr new lfe to plank in the Uc
publican piauorm, some years
since, which called polygamy -'a
fearful thing, and n twin rulic o
barbarism that must bo annihila
ted."
It appears to xis that there is
belter way to get rid of Mormon
sm than the plan proposed, as
alore, by the Radicals. InsteaJ
of the bloodshed and rapine of
war, it occurs to us that vrc should
exert the influence of advanced
civilization and Christianity upon
the barbarism of Utah. At this
moment, with the advance of sot
tlemonts, and the extension of rail
roads that will carry modern civil
ization, the arts and sciences, into
Utah, a senous division of the
Mormon Church is threatened; and,
we take it, that the easiest way to
heal up the breach caused by their
disscntions, is to send an army
among them. Sach a project would
only tend to unite them and con
firm them in thoir faith. Farther,
have we not have had enough of
war to satisfy even the most bloods
thirsiy?. Are wo not experiencing
enough of the evils that always
follow in tho wake of. wars? It
seems to ns so, and we think it far
better for us. as a people, to trust
to Christianity and advancing civ
llization to crush polygamy, than
to resort to the ever to be dreaded
power of the sword.
RADICALS OUT FOR THE
CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION.
TIO.V.
Since the letter of declination of
Hon. E. II. Moore has been made
public, in which ho declines being a
candidate for re-nomination for Con
gress before the Radical convention of
this District, candidates for the nom
ination have been springing up from
all parts of the District.
As yet, the two gentlen.en most
prominent in the field, and one of
whom will probably receive the nomi
nation, are Hon. ' V. B. ITorton, of
MeigsCounty, and Attorney-General
F. B. Pond, of this County the form
er of whom has been brought into the
field by the Radical papers of Athens
and Meigs Countic-s, and the later by
our neighbor, the McConnelsville
Herald.
Although we are not in the "Ring"
that manipulates the Radical nomina
tions, yet, we suppose we have a right
to speculate upon the probable results,
taking as a basis, for what we say, the
knowledge gained by their public
disclosures, and the circumstances
generally. -
Mr. Horton, being a man of vast
wealth, and able thereby to exert a
mighty influrnce in a Radical Conven
tion, and being also able to spend any
amount of means deemed necessary
in the coming campaign, and having,
evidently, already secured the sup
port of Athens County Radical man
ipulators, and being a man of popu
larity and influence, aside from his
monied influence, amongst the Radi
cals of this District,' seems to us to
have the inside track on Mr. Pond.
Money, everybody knows, sways and
controls Radical Conventions the
country over alone, and when it is
united with personal popularity and
recognized personal worth and ability,
such influence as our friend Pond can
marshal will be too weak to enter the
arena with any expectation of success.
Mr. Pond, however, has one item of
Importance in his favor, and that is
the acknowledged fact that Morgan
County is entitled to the nomination.
But even the justice which would dic
tate ' the nomination of a Morgan
County man, loses much of its power
when Morgan County presents the
name of Mr. Pond. . The gentleman
already holds a high and honorable
official position to which he was ele
vated very recently by the Radical
voters of Ohio, and which he was very
willing to accept, the Attorney -Generalship
of the great State of Ohio, and
it strikes us that it will be very singu
lar if the other Counties of this Con
gressional District do not take this
into account when they come to nom
inating a man for Congress.
It appears to us that the Radicals of
Morgan County might find equally as
good a man in their ranks as Mr. Pond
for this nomination, and one, too, who
would be more likely to receive
but, as we are outside the "Ring," and
therefore not well-informed, we will
close by. giving it as our opinion that,
should Mr. Tond by any possibility be
nominated, he will do as well to be
defeated as any man in the District.
Sound Democratic Platform.
j
Tho platform of tho principles
adopted by ' the Democratic State
Convention of Ohio, and which we
publish this morning, is as sound,
and has about it a ring as clear, as
one of those od fashioned Mexican
dollars that our peoplo used to have
before they wero driven out of cii
culat'on by depreciated greenbacks.
There is not a plank in it that 6ho'd
be altered or removed, nor is there
room for any other. Under that
flag the Democrncy of Oh io will con
quer in October, and the people of
the union wiji corqucr m tno elec
tions that are to come. It 16 impos
sible that any party can long stand
reaking with tho corruptions, and
guilty of the crimes, that mark the
Republican party. A high tariff,
oppressive taxation, stupendous
land. frauds, usurpation of power,
and alter disregard of the Constitu
tion are crimes that crv to Heaven
for repress, an J prayers of tho peo
ple will bo answered. Wheeling

Prohibitionists and Radicals.
a
The Eadical papers are somo
what exorcised over tho organiza
tion, in this State, of the Prohibi
tion party, the sum and substance
of their platform being the prohi
bition, by legislation, ol the mann
failure, sale and importation of in
toxicating liquors as a beverago.
The Radicals, being afruid hoy
will not bo able to obtain, some
time in the future, their regular
"morninc'a mominsr." are. as we
intimate abovo, fearfully agitated
on the question. They are endeav
oring, by every means in their
power, to dishearten tho men who
are disposed to go into this matter
They even fro so far as to call the
whole thing a "Democratic trick,
and thut is where the laugh comes
in, when it is remembered that
those samo Radicals that uro so
wroth at tho Prohibitionists, always
tried to stamp tho Democracy as
tho whisky parly." Things
change as the world goes round,
don't they?
But we opine that tho Prohibi
tionists won t jrive much heed to
the entreaties, prayers and .curses
of whisky-loving, beer-guzzling
leaders of the Radical party, but
that they will pursuo a straight
forward course, with but one end
in view, and that tho accomplish
ment of their avowed object.
Those of the Prohibitionists who
have heretofore voted tho Radical
ticket, declare that tho mission of
their old party is accomplished,
and that its further perpetuation
is only for the purposo of plunder
and spoils. They say they are for
the elevation and advancement of
mankind, not for moral, mental,
physical, spiritual and financial
destruction.
CHARLES DICKENS.
itj'ed,and this has maintained its
It is hardly possible that tho At
lantic i-ablo could have flashed
through the ocean any single item
of European news that would have
created the profonnd sorrow in
America that will follow the an
nouncement of the death of
Charles Dickens. The genial nov
elist, with his broad and generous
views of life and it duties, had
made him friends with all classes of
our peoplo, and his death will bo
mourned as a personal loss by mil-
ions, we might say, who only knew
lim through his writings. We be
leve Dickens was more generally
read, and more keenly relished by
the mass in this country than in
Great Britain, for there are few
Americans who possess tht average
common school education who are
not familiar with his works. From
this earnest appreciation, peoplo
had come to regard with some
thing more than a friendly interest
the author. Admiration grew into
ovo and reverence for the man,
and tins feeling was manifested in
marked manner towards him on
his late visit to the Atlantic cities.
The enthusiasm ho called forth on
the Hudson would bavo been lav
ished on him as well on the banks
of tho Mississippi. Ho was a brave,
good and true man ; a democrat
and " friend of the people in the
broadest acceptation ; a contemner
of cant and hypocrisy ; ho invigor
ated tho social forces of tho world
by his charity for tho poor and un
fortunate ; he stripped pretenco of
its cloak, no matter whether it was
of sable or fustian ; no man or wo
man rose from reading his books
without feeling their sphere of duty
enlarged and their hcaits filled
with noble lessons of kindness and
sympithy. Dickens was a practi-
cal reformer. Imprisonment ' for
debt, tho mismanaged charity
schools, the paupers and the work
houses, tho law delays, the priva
tions of the manufacturing class,
represent abuses at which ho cast
his lance of ridiculo and sarcasm,
and which he did much to reform
or ameliorate.
Dickens was fifty-eight years of
age in February last. The inci
dents of his life are so well known
that we need not recout.t them.
"Sketches by J3oz" were his first
efforts at authorship, in a London
pacer in 1SCG. "Pickwick" follow-
popularity to tho present time as
the most humorous of all hia wri
tings. Then came, for many years,
a succession of novels and smaller
sketches, with the annual Christ
mas story.
In 1842 ho visited tho United
States, and moved our people from
their psopriety by his "American
Notes," which contain a vast deal
of truth marred by some exaggera
tion. In 1845 ho started the Lon
don Daily Xevcs, but the drudgery
of this life did not suit him. "Our
Mutual Friend," was his last novel.
"The Mystery of Elwin Drood"
remains incomplete, but it is r;ch in
promise if its author had bat lived
to finish bis task.
The telegraphic accounts of Dick
ens' death make it tolerably clear
that it was caused by overwork. It
was by the physician's orders he
ceased his readings in public, but
the active mind could not rest in
idleness, and ho fell a victim to de
votion to his art. His memory will
dh gratefully treasured oy all who
have read his works, and by tho
millions who are to coruo after
them. Ohio Statoaap
MUNGEN AS AN EXASPERATOR.
What Fish thinks of Him—An
Angry Austrian Unable to
Understand Puns About the
"Gifted Grant."
[Washington correspondence of the New
York Sun]
A curious incident has leaked
from the blaio JJepartmont, a very
leaky vessel in essentials, though
sd mysteriously and solemnly re
ticent in small particulars. Shortly
after a very objectional speech from
the lion. m. Mungt-n, of Ohio, on
Cuban affairs, Baron Charles L'
derer, the Austrian Envoy extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotcn.
tiaiy. visited the Secretary of
State, with the speech aforesaid m
hand. The interview is Inns nar
rated : The Baron called the ntlen
tion of air. Fish to it, and said that
he had come on behalf of his Gov
ernmcnt to ask explanation and
satisfaction from tho Government
of the United States.
"This," he said, '-is not tho mere
production of your newspaper cn
naille, but comes from a member of
Congress,! and is published in the
Governmedt organ, tho Globe.
The Baron wished to know
whether Mr. Fish approved it,
whether categorically or other
wise.
Mr. Fish de'aod (and no doubt
with unusual sincerity) that he did
not subscribe to any part of it ; and,
furthermore, was willing to con
cede that the speech was an out
rage, and Mungen a nuisance ; nay,
he would even agree with the .bar
on that both tho press and Con-
iss were nuisances. lint, what
could he do in ihe premisos? Mun
gon had abused him.
'Isever mmd that, said tho
Baron ; "I would not 6ven rnind it
he had abused me but it is my
Government ho insults, and den I
feel it here," striking his left
breast.
'But Baron, he has abused the
British Government, and the Rus
sian, and tho Spanish and the Uni
ted States Governments."
"Y-'S ; but I nm not do keeper of
do honneur of zese. but it is for do
insult to my Empcrcur I demand
reparation.
"My dear Baron," replied tho
Secrotary. "I really can not make
this an international question. I
deeply regret that wo have no pow
er to punish this exasperating man.
Our laws, unfortunately, do not
permit it. Look, ho ha3 abused
even our own President."
"Ware dat?" asked the Baron.
"No, ho call him gifted President ;
mean genius, talent: flatter him,
abuso every body and all govern
ments else."
"No!" ejaculated Mr. Fish, "he
meant to insult tho President ; ho
perpetuated n outrage ; he told a
i'alsehood when he said the Presi
dent was gifted?'
What, asked tho puzzled liar-
on, "lie what not true when ne can
de President gifted? Xc,ma
foi! Zough you and I, Mousieur
Fish, know dat he is not very
bright, you his Ministere, might
baAO let him pass dat lectle com-
jliment. But if ho abuso the Pres
ident, and you have to suffer dat, I
have no more to say: Good morn

A SCRAP OF PERSONAL HISTORY.
"Old Sardine" and His Predecessor
—Wilson on Washburne.
In a debate on judges' salaries in
Senate, on Friday last Senator
Carpenter made the following
statement:
"When General Grant's Admin
istration camo in, ho offered tho
ofSco of Secretary of State to a
statesman in the West, of Iowa, a
man of whom all of us would have
been proud to see in that place.
How did ho look in it? To come
to Washington and livo as a Secre
tary of Stato should live would
cost him 15,000 a year, and his
salary was 58,000 ; $7,000 out of
pocket each year. It he were to
6tay with his family in Iowa, he
could support them on $5,000 and
make 515,000. Thcro was 517,000
difference m his bank account.
Ho could not afford to pay that
amount to bo Secretary of State.
Then General Grant goes right to
the Eastern States and offers tho
effico to a man to whom tho $17,
000 mado no earthly difference;
and your $8,000 paid to the present
Socretary of State is thrown away,
because ho would bavo taken the
office just as quick wilhout the
salary as with it."
The statesman of Iowa mentioned
by Mr. Carpenter is the Hon. Jas.
F. Wilson ; but we think that for
want of complete information the
Senator does not tell the story with
perfect accuracy. - i
Before General Grunt was sworn
in as President lie offered Mr. Wil
son the office of Secretary of State,
and he agreed to except it. After-,
ward Mr. Washburne, of Illinois,
besought General Grant to appoint
him to that office as a compliment,
which would enable him to go with
more prestige as Minister to the
Court of Napoleon III, which place
he had agreed to accept. General
Grant felt himself under great obli
gations to Mr. Washburne, and
asked Mr. Wilson if he would agree
to the complimentary appointment
of that ttatcsman as Secretary of
State, it being understood that he
bhonld not take tho office, bat only
enjoy the honor ot being nominated
to it and confirmed by the Senate.
Mr. Wilton suid that Mr. Wash
burne was the most malignant, un
generous and unfair enemy bo
ever had, but that if General Grant
desired very much to pay him such
a compliment he would not stand
in tho way, and wouhl still be will
ing to be Secretary of Stato after
ward, Tho nomination of Mr. Wash
burne was accordincly sent to the
Senate. Ho was tonlirmcdj auJ, to
the -surprise of everybody but him
self, he had himself sworn m as
Secretary on that very iay, and at
onco began to exercise the authori
ty of the office. More than this, ho
Iiold on to it for a considerable
period, and did not leave it until he
vas peremptorily required to do so
by the President. But meauwhilo
Mr. Wilnon withdrew his accept
ance ot .the plaeo. saying that ho
would take an officer-which Mr.
Washburne had warmed. Nor
could any pursuasion avail to make
him reconsider his determination.
In ono respect, however, Mr. Car
penter's statement is entirely cor
rect. This is where ho says that
the $8,000 ayoar paid to tho pres
ent Secretary of State is thrown
away. Wo do not believe there is
a sane citizen of tho United States
who will dispute that proposition.

—Wilson on Washburne. More Land Robbery.
Tho land grabbing scheme is still
making proeress in Congress. The
House, on Friday, passed the Sen
ato bi.'l granting land to aid the
construction of a railroad and tel
egraph from Portland to Astoria
and McMinnyille, Oregon. Mr.
Holman, of Indiana, spoke at length
in opposition of the bill, which he
said appropriated nine hundred and
forty thousand acres of land. Jfe
had stated on a former occasion, he
said, thatthcro were nine bills pend
ing appropriating over 100,000,000
of acres, but he had since learned
that the estimate was far below the
reality, and that the number of
bills was over 10, appropriating
over ot acres. Since
tho establishment of the govern
ment there had boon given away,
for purposesof education. 77,000,000
acres of public lands and 185,000,000
to build the fortnnes of crafty and
unscrupulous men. No' less than
150,000,000 have been granted to
corporation within tho past ten
years. It that policy was contin
ued, bo went on to say, it would not
bo long till thcro would be no pub
lie lands left for homestead and
pre emption purpose, for which
over 10,000,000 acres had been ta
ken the last year. Mr. Holman
continued to argue at length against
and grants.
These figures speak for them
selves, against tho iniquity of this
wicked squandering of the nation's
patrimony. It is growing to be a
gigantic evil. By the way, the
carpet-bagger from Mississippi,
Ames,.makcs-his first peep in the

Wilson Shannon was first elected

Shandon was triumphantly elected
over Governor Thomas Corwin, who
defeated him in 1S10. While acting

The Census of 1870.
The ninth census of the United States
will be taken, under the provision of
the act of May 23, 1S50, on the first of
June. At the last census, 4,417 Assistant-
Marshals were employed. Con
gress having declined to adopt any of
the new plans suggested, the census
will be taken on the same Lasiaas for
the last twenty years. The act of 1S50
provides that the census shall be taken
by the United fctates Marshals of the
respective districts, with the aid of
such assistants as shall be required.
Tho census districts of each State are
divided so as to be composed of not
less than 20,000 persons. The assist
ants are paid as follows:2 cents for
every name taken, 10 cents for every
farm, 13 cents for every productive
establishment of industry, 2 cents for
every deceased person, and 2 per cent,
of the gross amount for names enu
merated, for social statistics, and 10
cents per mile for travel. The enu
meration must be completed and the
