Tho platform adopted by the Couvcn.
tiouof the Democrutic party,! at Raleigh
last week, and published by us on
Saturday, is-.a most admirable docu
ment. It is not a hastily! conceived
platform but one carefully prepared
by intelligent shrowd and patriotic
men and it is the dcliberato expression
of the maturo judgment of what was
perhaps the most thoroughly representa
tive body of men ever assembled in the
State of NorthCarolina.by whom, wo arc
told, it wss adopted "by an overwhelm
ing vote." Under these circumstances
it becomes tho political gospel of tho
party for the campaign of this year and
"until its sqecessor is appointed and
qualified" at tho next conventioa ot tho
party. There aro some who are, o
course, "disappointed." not so much,
perhaps, at the platform as a whole,
but because their own peculiar views
havo failed to impress themselves upon
the minds of those to whom they were
addressed.
Wc aro happy iu beiu able to say
that every plack of the platform is thor
oughly in accord with the views held by,
and expressed by, this paper. Wc be
lievo in the total abolition ot tho inter
nai Internal revenue system ; in a tarifl
for revenue ouly, its adjustant to be
left in the hands ol our representatives
in Congress, and in the aid proLvered for
educational purposes by tho Ulairc bill.
believing, as wo do, that with a Demo
cratic house the necessary machinery
will bo perfected for its distribution
thro" the hands of the State authorities.
These are the radical points of the plat
form and it is one under which the Dem
ocratic party ia the State of NorthCaro-
lina will march to a sure and certain
victory next November.

There has been certainly a suffi

other than dragging tho grass out to

of hard work to get rid of it. Clear

There was a Catherine: at about 9
