Carrier, 15 TnE working men of the country are sober, intelligent, liberty loving and law abiding citizens, and they have no sympathy with alternation- -z&and communist movements. They only ask that working men be placed upon a footing with profes- sional dignity and learning, and that capital join hands with its hand- maid, labor. I Old men tell us that they have I seen darker political days than these; I and as the crisis is, so i3 the gran- deur of the elements of salvation, Originating with a government bom of revolution,and baptized in fire and blood, the destiny of the Democratic party will be grand, as the rescue of I the country is perilous. I We jrsTLT complain of high taxes, I and our only hope of relief looks to an increased thrifty population of working, stirring people, but no such increase win oe onre wimo me prop- erty holders of North Carolina insist upon' maintaining the present ficti tious values of their real estate. . Mechanical skill and industry have made the North great, "rich and powerful, and there the labor- ing man enjoys the frniU of.hia toil, and may aspire, without appearing presumptions, to any position with- in the gift ol the people. I Governor Jewell, of Connecti cut, is a finished mechanic, and served his apprenticeship at as hard labor as ever befel a poor boy. The Grand Duke Alexis could no more unaeretand this than onr politicians Of the South. ' I man rents are the bane ot every I . . W .

We advance a step beyond strict jtrty lines. and offer the hand of political fellowship to every man, ldt his past party affiliations or poli tical antecedents be what they may. We base ur action upon the true pyinciplps'of free democratic govern ment, an we march to the rescue of the republican institutions of a great country. The war is over and the new pol icies of government iu the height of pescefnl experiment. Recon- siruciion nas prevailed ana passea into history as an accomplished pol-: anly protest against measures that neither inclination invited nor judg- ment approved, have now no cause or ground for quarrel with such as honestly differed in opinion with the best of us, nor can any past cir cumstance now exempt us from our duty as citizens of a common coun- try which looks to the action of her children for continued life, uninteT rupted prosperity, and an onward march in national civilization. We of America have the grandest of national destinies to shape, and those of us who have passed through &fld noted the events of the past ten years bear witness to the heroism and grandenr peculiar to republican institutions, and tasting the sweets of liberty and imbibing the senti- ments of democracy, we of all men know what it is to feel that this priceless boon, bffffieathed by an ancestry who won it, is about to be snatched away from us and absorbed by that retbrseless power from whose tyratjm'cu grasp the bravest men the world ever knew wrenched the great charter of civil liberty. Leaving the past to history, re- garding the present as our own, and looking to the future as it lights up by thaadvancing lamp of experience, wo address ourselves to the task be- fore us, and hereto we invite the at tention and co-operative aid of every patriot from the Atlantic to tlie Pa cific and from the St. Lawrence; to the Rio Grande. 1 1 Public etents plainly indicate the true course for the , Democracy 0f the nation to follow and the con- dition of the country cries aloud for the re-assertion and maintenance of The" cardinal principles of the Demo cratic party.

Gone from the earth forever. 'Tis a time For memory and for tear?. Within the dP Still chamber of the heart, a spectre dim, Whose tones are like the wizard voice of Time, Heard from the tomb of ages, points its cold And so'emn finger to the beautiful And holy visions that have pass'd away, And left no shadow of their loveliness On the dead waste of life. That spectre lifts The coffin-lid of hope, and joy, and love, And, bending mournfully above the pale Sweet forms that slumber there, scatters dead flowers O'er what has passed to nothingness. The year Has gone, and with it, many a glorious throng Of happy dreams. It; . rcark is on each brow Its shadow in each heart. In its swift course, It waved its sceptre o'er the beautiful, And they are not. It laid its pallid hand Upon the strong man, and the haughty form Is fallen, and the flashing eye is dim. It trod the hall of revelry, where tbrong'd The bright and joyous, and the tearful wail Of stricken ones .is heard, where erst the song And reckless shout tesounded. It pass'd o'er The battle plain, where sword and speur and shield Flash'd in the light of midday and the strength Of serried hosts is shiver'd, and the grass, Green from the soil of carnage, waves above The crush'd and mouldering skeleton. It came And faded like a wreath of mist at eve; Yet, ere it melted in the viewless air, It heralded its millions to their home In the dim land of dreams. Remorseless Time Fierce spirit of the glass and scythe what power Can stay him in his silent course, or melt Ilis iron heart to pity I On, still on He presses, and forever. The proud bird, The condor of the Andes, that can soar Through heaven's unfathomable depths, cr brave The fury of the northern hurricane, And bathe his plumage in the thunder's home, Furls his broad wings at nightfall, and sinks down To rest upon his mountain crag,- but lime ) cess, And night's deep darkaess has no chain to bind His rushing pinion.

Dark, stern, all-pitiless, and pauses not Amid the mighty wrecks that strew his path, To sit and muse, like other conquerors, Upon the fearful ruin be has wrought. The Democratic Platform.

A - uonesi xiepuuucans to unite wun tne de mocracy in an effort at overturning the Grant dynasty, or endeavoring to throw cold water in the way by calling loudly for our platform of principles and a compari son of notes. We are entirely agreed to anything ol that sort. Our platform is the Constitution as framed by the found ers of the nation, and wc are not in the least ashamed of it ; nor have we any fears but that it will compare favorably with any good document that may be laid be side it.' It is a broad platform, broad enough to hold all honest men, and no other kind wonld be likely to find an interest in it, f r they,- having- no principles themselves, care nothing for a platform of principles. .The Democratic party is in favor of a free government and a free people, the for mer based on the Constitution and the lat ter entirely submissive to constitutional laws ; and all who can endorse such a de claration of faith may j'jin us at once with out the compromise of a single principle. When Congress passed an act last winter authorizing the President to suspend the courts and juries, and displace Governors and legislators' in any State at pleasure, substituting military government tor civil government, the Democratic party refused to endorse the proceedings, for it could find no constitutional authority for the creation of a law conferring Imperial powers upon a President, at the expense of a free government, and statesmen of all parties here agreed that Congress has no right in such matters outside of that dele gated by the Constitution. Hosts of Re publicans also take that position, and are therefore as ready to go into a campaign against corruption' as the noblest Romans among us all. Mobile Register. S UGARM, COFFEES & TEAS.

But we must confess we" 'have little faith in Congress and the President civing moral aid and encourage ment to further it in its wise and benefi cent ends. A corrupt administration and a partizan Congress, both linked inseparably with monopolist rings and combinations, afford the least possible hope of amelio rating the condition of a class antagonistic to their own corrupt interests. Still we may be mistaken, and the Commission once appointed may make such revelations that the powers to be will be forced to take appropriate action thereon. It will be remembered that there was once a Com mission to perform the labor proposed in Mr. Hoar's bill, and that he was dismissed at the clamor ot some manufacturers whom his reports had offended. It is to be hoped that undue influences of the same kind will not be exertedy .or if exerted, .wilt be ineffectual to abolish this Commis sion if it should ever be appointed. Such a Commission should be, untrammeled and in no danger of a sudden termination being put to its life by caprice or by cor rupt influences being brought to bear. What are the purposes of the creation of such a commission ? Labor reform as a term has been worn so threadbare by such agitators and political mountebanks as Wendell Phillips in this country and Adder and Louis Blanc in Europe empty theorists and mJ revolutionists that thifiking sober ;nen are apt to examine every new iden and novel movement pro fessing to eman tte from the people, to see if it is genuine coin from the mint. All are not Israel that arc of Israel -neither is every glittering thing gold. The work ingmen, like the women agitators, have chosen indiscreet men nay more, lunatics, dolts aud " dead beats " to champion their interests. No wonder these interests from year to year have been mismanaged. Wild sentimentalists have ridden into noto riety on the so-called platform of. the Labor Reformers, while the thing itself for which they have so vociferously clamored has been covered up in a cloud of obscure phrases of sound and fury signifying no thing. It ought to be the work of those who hereafter claim to represent the inter ests of the laboring classes to set forth some definite plan of action; to specify what it is that the working men ought to have and the shortest way to obtain that particular thing. There has been enough demagogical arabble about " rights," " emancipation," etc. Let us have a. fair open statement and no more clap trap. The intelligent working men demand this.
