The Future Platform of the Democratic Party. The adoption of a suitable platform of prjnciplpp by tbo 2$ew York Con-' Yflption promises to bo a tusk of aa jpueh difficulty as lb? seloctjon oi an pvailable panfjjdfttq, wjijtet for the Imrpose^ of goppesg jt may bo a rnater of oven moro importance. Tbp pourse of 6om? of tbo loading Demo^ pratio journals might woll justify tho sneers of tfcpir opponents that tho j>ariy has now no principles. Taking theft* cqofrom the cvasivo action and pn*b$guous uttorancoe at Chicago, Bucb journals as tho Now York World find tho Chi<5kgo Times are engaged in urging tho adoption of a platform which shall ignore everything which it distinctive; in tho principlos of. the party, whic^ shall bo accoptahlo ns woll to tbo Republicans as to tho Dora ocrats, whipl^ shqll se^vo as & half-way hotyBO ^woon Radicalism and ConSOL-vatispfj, and which shouM bo oven broad enough for General Grant hipifolf to stand upon. If thoro is any gpo thing which has disi <d tho Pomocralic party in l and which has formed tho rallying ?ry in iU recoct triumphs it is an unsparing Renunciation of the Reconstruction policy fts illegal, unconstitutional, and yoid; but now it is gravely proposed to recognize as an established fact, find tp accept as valid and binding, this cross usumntion. With such a platform, io what does this epurjous Democracy differ from .Republicanism except in the merit of consistency ? Ifo uj?, tho contests of party becomo },|ie mere scrambles for offico in which ^ro have no concom?and Gen. Grant ^sould bo as apceptablo as Mr. Chaso. \Ve cannot believe that tho Democratic party is prepared thus to abandon it? prinpipl. "5. and ignore the vita) find essential issueB upon which the party must etar d, and upon w hich wc believe it will stand in -tho coming election. These are thus well set forth by that stannch Conservative journal, lbs National Intelligencer : phe great Conservative movement Is essentially a protest against Itadi , calism, and the manifold crimes arrfl outrages of this last parly must bo sternly dcnonnccd. More especially do we refer to tho so called rcconptfacijoQ acts, by which negro suffrage has been forced upon the South. Those aets are tho most shameless acts of tyranny and atrocity evqr perpetrated by men claiming to be civilized, and arp void in law as in right The Conservative party are pledged tg the overthrow of great wrong, and JLbiff faith must be ro-afflrmod in language that shall not fail either in emphasis or in point. The general principle that suffrage atjnll and should be left to the States is well enough ; it is constitutional , pnd sound. But to rest hero would, aader present oircumstances, be vain illusive. The general declaration answers very well lor New York, Ofcio, and Pennsylvania; for there we jWp governments under the jcontro) jof? the white race, and it is for each to say whether they will admit tho fow flacks among thein to the ballot or | not, and under what conditions. But if wo came to the South we no longer fin.dU}? white race in poqtrpl of the power of the States. That control pas beety viplently wrestod from them ktt r?/%nj *- * " ^ (k/uugi"ooiuuui UC^pUUBlDj unQj Dy a Bye tern of disfranchisements ar.d lraads combined, the whites have been < ponsigned to an almost hopeless negro yoke. The governments Bhojrtly i tp bo"recognised by Congress, require each votef to pweaf tp "fcepeptM fur all time the doctrine ci the political quality of. the two races, and by this tfinJb oath the whites are ehat cut from the polls. And this is what Congress has done in nearjy all the Southern gtatea. In all, save Virginia and H? eras, the negro govern meats are in lorce and aHe to perpetuate them selves. To telh* the whites of the States that auffrage is to be left to the States to regulate, without declaring - . - : -"?- < J?ese Dfigrsf govern mania tQ be > annj and usurpation is to trifle wifch and evado a great iflape.
