The Democracy of New York.
The platform of principles adopted
at the late ^Rochester Convention, has
the true Constitutional ring about it.
and if acted upon, would booh restore
the government of our fathers. Strict
|construction? economy in the administration?free
trade ? low taxes ?
j these arc the almost forgotten doctrines
of an earlier and better day:
Resolved, That the present Federal
Administration has fallen short of the
expectations of its own friends, and of
its obligations to the people, and fails
to command public coniide.icc, Its inability
to devise an intelligent financial
policy and the restoration of a
sound currency; its failure to relieve
the internal revenue system of its oppressive
and complicated features; its
neglect to reform llio tariff", so as to
avoid favoritism to the few at the ex-j
penso of the many; its enormous gifts j
to capitalists, of tlio public lands, wa-|
sting the common property of the
people; its retention in oliice of unworthy
men; its maintenance of taxes
to an extent largely in excess of the
amount necessary to pay the interest
oii 1 he public debt and the expense of
the Government; itrj fV-ble and undefined
foreign policy, and the uiuiisguised
want of harmony between the >
Executive and Congress, are all proofs 1
of its incapacity to manage our public (
affairs for the public good; while its
efforts to interfere improperly with j'
elections in the States, and to hinder;1
immigrants from other lands from as- <
suming the obligations of citizens, a.nd ''
its use of military force, in many in- j'
itanccs, for the purpose ol' overawing J?
rotes, are evidences of its willingness J
.0 disregard the rights of the people,!'
md to violate the principles of Jree
government. 1
JUnoIvcJ, That Oiir tariff duties, like '
ill taxes, t-hould have the only lawful 1
jurposo of obtaining the necessary i
tsvenue; and that the present system < '
>?* "favoritism,"miscallcd"protection," s
s dimply a robbery of the people; and
hat, except i:i so far as the legitimate *
rxpenses of the Government mriyoth- t
. rwise require, free trade is thy true 1
joliey of the country. t
Ramlrnl, That we demand the sim- '
ilitication of oar system of internal I
evenue; the sibolition of useless and jc
uquisitorial taxes, and th<! reduction j t

Resolved, That tho pa?t history of e

jouncing the recent acts of Congress v
nterferiug with State elections, and *

An ofilccr who had not quitted Gen- '
;ral Do Wimpfien a!i the morning of! j
,!.e lr.t, writes as follows to the I'ariisU
Debiits: \*
Oil that morning, the Prussians ha*!'
ring terminated their movement. at* r

Jrivo us on the fresh troops, who a- ]
.vaited our descent from the i>la eau. j'
before deploying all their forces. For
i moment, General De Wimpfien was
Jcluded, and believed in a victory, not
16 yet knowing tli?t he had before him
uore than 150.000 enemies. In the
jveningho resolved to open :i passage
or bin troops to the Belgian territory.

ceould doubtless have succeeded, as
Jieenemy, half disorganized by the!
contest, had remained in position on j
ihe field of battle, but the Emperor, |
who still held dc facto the chiel' command,
prevented him, and paralyzediiis
best efforts by calling up the I'rus. i
sians with a white flag, and by ad-j
dressing a letter to the King. Gener-i

poleon refused to accept it, and wrote j1
to him the following note:
"General?You cannot resign at the)'
moment when the army may be still;'
naved by an honorable capitulation.
You have done your duty all day; do
it still ^ ou will render a great service
to the country. The king has
accepted the armistice, and I am waiting
for his propositions. Believe in
my friendship.
"Napoleon."
The General being then persuaded
that only one course was open : that!
in retiring alone, as he still could do,
lie might avoid personal captivity, but j
would abandon the gallant soldiers
who had braveu death under his orders
during the whole day; seeing al-j
so that in so acting ho would ill per-j
form tho functions of general-in-chiel
placcd in his hands by the fortune of
war, dceided to remain at the head ol
the army, to share the lot of all, and
to set his name to the capitulation?
that terrible act which closes by an.
immense disaster, l y an unforeseen
catastrophe, oue of tho most brilliant,
of military careers.
General Pelle alsoin adkero

to the capitulation. A letter address-[
ed by hi in to hid wife says:
"I am a prisoner of war with the
whole urmy. 2srever has any people

of the council of war held for the
