The Vallanaingham Platform.
The following arc among the resolutions
adopted by the Democracy of
Montgomery County, umo, who assembled
on tbe 18th inst., in Daytou,
to el,ect 'delegates to the State Democratic
Convention, which met on the
1st of June:
liesolved, By the Democracy of
Montgomery County?
First?That agreeing to disagree in
all respects as to the past, we cordially
unite upon the living issues of
the el ay, and liereby invite all men
of the "Republican party who believe
now upon present issues as we believe,
+? on.nnof.itd fully and actively with
VV VV V?/V.?.- ^ w
us upon the basis of perfect equality
Avitli every member of the Democratic
party.
Second?That waiving all differences
of opinion as to tho extraordinary
/means by which they were
brought about, \ve accept the natural
and legitimate results of the war so
far as aged lor its ostensible purpose
to maintain the Union and the Constitutional
rights and powers of the
Federal Government, including the
three several amendments tie facto
ito the Constitution recently declared
.adopted, as a settlement in fact of all
the issues of the war, and acquiesce
in the same as no longer issues before
the country.
Third?That thus burying out of
sight all that is ot the dead past?
namely, t-nc ngni ui suul'ssjuu, oiuvwij,
inequality before the law, and jiolitical
inequality*,* and further, now that
reconstruction is complete, and representation
within the Union restored
to all the States, waiving all question
as to the means by which it was accomplished,
we demand that the vital
and long established rulo of stiict
construction, as proclaimed by the
democratic fathers, accepted by the
statesmen of all parties previous to
ho wnr. and embodied in the Tenth |
Amendment to the Constitution, be |
rigorously applied now to the Consti-1
tutiorj as it is, including the three
reecnt amendments above referred to;
and insist that these amendments
shall not be held to have in any respect
altered or modified the Federal
Government as designed and taught
;by its founders, and repeatedly, in
early times, in later times, and at all
<imes, affirmed by the Supreme Court
of the United States; but only to
have enlarged the powers delegated
to it, and to that extent, and.no more,
to have abridged tho reserved rights
tuciniM. ?rw? t.h.'it as thus con
,Vl tiiv t^UIVVO } MOV. ... _
strued according to these ancient and
well established rules, the Democratic
party pledges itself to the full, faithful
and absolute execution and en-J
/orcemcnt of the Constitution a* it
now is, so as to secuce equal rights to
all persons under it, without distinction
of race, color, or condition.
Fourth--That the absolute equality
of each and every Stato in the Union
is a fundamental principle of the Fed- j
oral Government, and that no depart-j
meut of the Government has power
to expel a State from the Union, or)
to deprive it, under any pretext what-!
ever, of its-equal rights therein, including
especially the right of full and
complete representation in Congress
and the Electoral College.

supported by Mr. Yallandingham,
and were designed to furnish a thorough,
comprehensive and explicit answer
to the chargo that the Democ.
racy are hostilo to tho settlements
made by the war, and if restored to j
power would repeal tho Constitutional
.Amendments. This charge has been
industriously circulated by Senator
Morton and his followers of the
Republican party, and was designed to
make a living issuo upon ground
where they hoped to win an easy
victory. Mr.. Vallandingham, in behalf
of tho Democracy, now disavows
.any repudiation of the war settlements,
or any wish to disturb the
accomplished facts of reconstruction.
"With regard to tho platform, he says:
' It is not a new departure, but a
return?the restoration of tho Democratic
party once more to the ancient
platform of progress and reform, establishing
tho erreat fact that that
party, like everything elso in nature
intended to endure, is capable of adapting
itself to the perpetual growth and
chango which belong aliko to the
political and physical world, and retain
yet intact the original principles
and laws of its being. Moreover,
as to the movement here, wo all bear
witness that in it thero is nothing of
a merely personal 'character either to
advance or to hinder any member of
the Democratic party, and nothing
except tho earnest and fixed purpose
- O iL- 1.
to promote tne weuure ox mo n.u?n;
country."
Some of our contemporai'ies, tbo
Chronicle & Sentinel, tbo Memphis
Appeal, tbo Mobile Itc$i3/er'taud others,
oppose this new departure, as giving
up too much, and so sacrificing all
that is distinctive in Democracy.
Bnt after all, it is giving up nothing 1
which can be safely retained, and seeks
to make in the next Prcsidental contest'the
only issues upon which the
Democracy can hope for success. If
the Democrats arc willing to stand on
these issues, in the language of Mr.
Adams "Surely paroled prisoners
may accept them." To rcjcct them,
is to dictate to those by whom the
I battle is to bo fouirht. and who are
O / I
presumed to know best the stato of:
public opinion at home.The
New York Jury Law.
The Xcw York journals have been
commenting with symo severity upon
the defects of thei?- present jury law,
as illustrated in the recent Foster
trial, and have clearly pointed out the
numerous absurdities into which it
necessarily leads. One panel of five j
I hundred was exhausted in obtaining
'frm Jnrnrs nnd theremaining two iu-1
' ? - I
rors were only obtained after exhausting
new panels of several hundred
each. More than a week was thus
consumed, because the law as interpreted
makes the formation of an opinion
as to the guilt or innocence of a
prisoner, an absolute disqualication for
serving as a juror in his case. The
law imposes vexatious delays, and
after all, defeats the ends of justice
j by securing the most incompetent
jurors to try the case'.
The law is based upon two absurd i
suppositions: 1. That with the present,
riifFiisinn of intelligence. the fffCat |
body of the community do not form
some.opinion with regard to every
important event which transpires in
their midst ; and, 2. That such an
opinion hastily foimcd, upon partial
evidence, can interfere with the
due consideration of the sworn testimony
in tho case. To find one who
has formed no opinion, is to go beyond
the reach of the newspapers, ,
1 "^ o!-/% i lir* nrpmlnm
illill 1/1/ liiflivv i^iiv/tuuw vuv vm.iu*-.
for a seat in the jury box. But to
suppose, further, that tho first-impressions
.will interfere with the prop-1 ^
or discharge of a sworn duty in the'
subsequent investigation, is to form a !
very low estimate of human nature,
and to mistake very much the laws 1
which justify confidence between men, *
and uphold the framework of society. 1
Experience proves that our judgments *
arc as fluctuating as the air, and aro
moulded by a* thousand varying circumstances.
Tho true rulo ou the
subject 6cems to be that of Massachusetts?that
the formation of an opinion
of the guilt or innocence of a pris- j
oner is no objection to the juror,
unless it co-exists with such prejudice |j
against hlra as will prevent tho rendering
of an impartial verdict. !<
In some of tho States tho Scotch j
Jury System has been introduced,!
which provides that fifteen shall form .
the jury, and that a two-thirds vote j
shall be sufficient to justjfy a verdict, j
In the Scotch jurisprudence there is |
also a-verdict of "not proven," which <
ioaves the accused liable to bo tried ,
again for the same offcncc. Tho two- }
thirds or majority sj*stcm prevails in j
other departments of the government,
and perhaps would bo equally appli- t
cable to jury trials. Tho ancient
jury system has been j
jbeen much modified, and the adoption j
of the one prevailing in Scotland
[might very much promote the uffi-j,
! ciency of the criminal administration (
of the law. ,

Tie Past and tlie Present of the
Democracy.
Whatever else may be thought of
f lip "Npw Ynrlr Herald, itis Universally
conceded to reflect most "admirably
the shifting phases of public sentiment,
to discern most clearly "the
signs of the times," aud to forecast
with rare sagacity the horoscope of
the future. With rare sources of information,
and without the bias 0f
partisan interest it has the sagacity to
sec, and the independence to point
out, the errors into which both the
great political parties of tho country
are falling. It? views of the past and
fut.urc policy of Democracy seem to
harmonize entirely with those of Xr.
Vallandingham and Mr. John Quincy
Adams, as recently set forth.
Iu the Chicago Democratic Conrcn
lion oi isui, a lew important worus
introduced by Mr- Vallandingham?
that "the war for the Union is a failure"
and ought to be stopped, were
sufficient to ensure the defeat of the
party?Again in the great National
Democratic Convention of 1SGS, Vallandingbam
and Hampton repeated
the blunder of 1SGS, in putting into
the platform the fatal resolution declaring
the whole reconstruction sj'stcm,
"unconstitutional, revolutionary
and void." The late victory in New
Hampshire undulj- elated the Democracy,
and provoked some indiscreet
ntterauces from Mr. Davis and oilier
Southern leaders, and it required tiie
refluent tide of defeat in Connecticut
to bring them to a just appreciation of
tho situation. To this point they
have now arrived,and Mr. Vallandingham,
Mr. Adams, and the Pennsylvania
Democracy all stand now on
Ohio platform. Slate by State, North
by South, the democracy will full in
ivitli Pennsylvania, so that, by the year
1872, they will be relieved of the
Jcadwcights of the war which, in
18G4 and 18CS, broke them down.
' Let the Democratic party," says
the Llerald, "now that the men of
Pennsylvania have eleared the track,
jring out General Sherman as their
candidate on the constitution and the
Eu Klux question, and instead of'
neandering about for another gcn-i
.'ration in the Dismal Swamp of dead
ssucb, they may, even iu 1S72, and
ilmost certainly in 1876,'advance to

RELIGIOUS.
On Sunday last the Rev. AW P. DuBose,
of Trinity Church, prcachod a
jcrmou in which he presented a very
nteresting review of the proceedings
)f the recent Episcopal Diocesan
Convention, held in Charleston. The
neeting of the Convention was one
jf the most important and instructive
which lie had ever attended, and
furnished hopeful evidenco of the
future prosperity of the Church. The
argencssof the attendance betokened
tho religious interest which prevailed,
and the harmony which charicterized
it, was most cheering.
Differences existed, and the prer.cher
Jeprecated any attempt to reduce
.hese to any Procrustean standard of
icad uniformity. The effect must
jc to cause either the slavery of Papal
infallibility, or the countless schisms
jf dissent. On the contrary, to permit
these antagonisms of feeling, of
ioctrine. aud of ritual, to co-exist in I
Lhc same religious body, is to produce
:ho grand resultant?truth. The
speaker congratulated the Diocese on
Llio election of tho now assistant
Bishop, the Rev. W. B. Ilowe, as one
eminently qualified to guido the
Church through the evils which en[ iron
her. Jfo said he came back
^o his own church moro than ever
atisfied to remain, and with renewed
c6olGtion to spare neither her nor
himself in prosecuting the missionary
work of the Diocese.

"In the present board of County

corruption, bribery and theft stu'
pendous to behold?a system of
wholesale robbery which was to
them almost preposterous. I ex>

. the same account twice. Dogan
has sold the proceeds of the poorhouse
farm and has never account
I ed lor tue moneys arising nom
such sale, and also sold a horse fae"
longing to the same institution, and
; has likewise not accounted lor the
' proceeds of such sale. And as to
the new board, they find that they
J indulge in all species of fraud and
j corruption, and, as the grand j.ur;
ors are informed, this board of
* commissioners have never visited
- the poorhouse to examine into the
, condition of its uu?>rtunate in
mates, as has always heretofore
i been the custom. Simeon Young,

of the poorhouse, with a salary of
