“LET Us HAVE PEACE.”
[Gclu U. S. Grant’s Letter of Acceptance]
“1' “FM. GLAND BOURKE.
“Lotus have Pcucc l”,is the cry of the millions
Wile fought for the starry-gcmmcd flag of the free!
’Tis the prayer of the Here, the song of civlliuns,
That rolls from the mountains for down to thc son.
The nation that rocked in the tempest and gloom,
And drifted ill doubt to be wrecked on the shore,
The storm has outlived, and the illnnders that boom
Are voices that pllropllcsy tempest no more.
“Let us have Peace l" is the sigh of tile lowly
That walk in the vale where the cypress is seen,
Who mourn their departed with tenderness holy.
And kneel where the graves are perennially green;
And where the “Unknown," in their silence, me sleep.
1112.
The foot of tile angels are pressing the sod,
And vespers of harmony round them are keeping,
Willie Martyrs Of Freedom have gone up to their
God.
“Let us have Peace!” the cvangel of Labor,
Where tellers imploringly lift up their hands;
Go! wipe oii‘ the stains from the death dealing saber,
And build the bright altar of hope for all lands;
Lo! radiant from darkness tile temple in glory
Throws wide to the world the broad aisles of the
func;
And frcemen shall toil as they utter the story.
And children repeat to the ages again. '
“Let us have Peace l” is the chorus ascending
From hamlets that lie ’mid the pine covered llills,
And like a glad anthem in unison blending;
Floats on till the plain with its melody thrills;
The river that rolls to the land of the West,
And prairies that wake to the hymn of the free,
With millions of freemen imploring for rest,
Swell psalms of rejoicing while bending the knee.
“Let us have Peace !" from the war's wild commotion,
The trumpet’s alarms, and the crush of the field,
And let ncw‘ bliss like the billows of ocean,
Roll over the land where the hero has kneclcd;
The smoke of the battle has swept from the sky,
The thundcrs have ceased and the bugle’s wild blast ;
The chains have been rlvcnl and loud from on high
The reveiilc calls to the love of the Past!
“Let us have Peace !" in a holy thupksgiving,
The Hero-voice cries, in the name of the Lord!
_For the sake of the dead! for the sake of the living"!
Turn spears into pruning-llooks—to plowsharos the
sword!
And out of the darkness shall come forth the booming
0f Glory’s bright sun where tllc foemen have trod,
And Freedom shall teach, with a truth all-redeeming,

A MIRROR FOR YOUNG MEN.
“Albert I wish you would let me have
seventy-five cents.”
Kate Landmau spoke very carefully, for.
she knew that her husband had not much
money to spare; yet she spoke earnestly,
and there was a world of entreaty in her
"Hallo, Albert! what’s up ?"
“Nothing ill particular.”
Albert ?" '
“Good! I’m in for that”
And away went Albert to the billiard hall,
where he had a glorious time with his friends.
rough scuil‘s on his premises.
They had played four games. Albert had
won two, and his Opponent had won two.
“That‘s two and two,” cyicd Tom Piper.
Albert ?" '
“All right, go in," suidAlbcrt with unima-
tion.
SO they played the fifth game, and he who
lost was to pay for the five games. It was
an exciting contest.
Both made capitol runs, but in the and
Albert was beaten by three points, and with
a little laugh he went up to settle the bill.
Five games, twenty cents a game—just one
dollar. N 0t much for such sport; and he
paid the money with grace, and never once"
seeming to feel that he could not afford it.
“Have a cigar ?” said Tom.
They lighted their cigars, and then saun-
tcred down the hall to see others play.
Albert soon found himself seated over
against a table afillicb some of his friends
were ’uying, and close by stood two gentle-
men, strangers to hiln, one of whoom was
explaining to the other the mysteries of the
game.
“It is a healthy pastime,” said he who had
been making the explanation; “and certain-
ly it is one which has no evil tendency.”
Albert heard the remark very plainly, and
he had a curiosity to hear what the other,
who sobmcd unacquainlcd with billiards
would say.
“I cannot of courcc, assert that any game
which calls for skill and judgment, and
which is free from the attendant curse of
gambling, is of itself an evil,” remarked the
second gentleman. Such things are only
evil so far as they excite and stimulate men
beyond the bounds of healthful recreation.”
“That result can scarcely follow such a
game,” said the first speaker.
' But the other shook his head.
“You are wrong there. The result can
follow in two Ways. First,it can lead men
away from their business; second, it can and the people, the laborer audit-he oflice-
lead men to spend money, who have not
money to spend. You will understand me.
I would let cry down the game of billiards,

for?” asked Albert.
dress.”
“What do you want seventy-five Cents
“I want to get some braid for my new
-man thinks of a new dress."
.“I thought you had all the materials on
hand for that.” -
“So I thought I had; but Mrs. Smith and
Mrs. Thompson both have a trimming of
braid upon theirs, and it looks very pretty.
It is very fashionable, and it certainly adds
much to the beauty of a dress.”
“Plague take those women’s fashions!
Your endless trimmings and thing-a-ma-jigs
cost more than the dress is worth. It’s noth-
ing but shell out money when once 0 WO-
“Surely, I dont have so many new dresses.
I do certainly try to be as economical as I
can.”
“It is a funny kind of economy, at 011 events
But if you must have it, I suppose you must.”
' And Albert Landmon took out his wallet
and counted out the seventy-five cents, but
he gave it-grudgingly, and when he put the
wallet back into his pocket he did it with an
emphasis which seemed to say that he would
not take it out again for a week.
When Albert reached the outer door, on
his way to his work, he found the weather
so threatening that he concluded to go back
and get his umbrella and upon entering the
sitting-room he found his wife in tears. She
tried to hide the fact she had been weeping,
but he had caught her in the act, and asked
what it meant. _
“Good gracious l” cried the husband, “I
should like to know if you are crying at
What I said about the dress ?"
“I was not crying at what you said, A1-
bert," 'replied Kate, trcmulously, but .you
were so reluctant to grant me the favor. I
was thinking how hard I have to work; I
am lied to the house; how many little things
Ihave to pcrplex ine—then to think—”
“Pshaw! What do you want tobe so fool-
ish for ?” I
And away started Albert Lundmou a sec-
ond time, but he was not. to escape so easily.
In the hull he was met, by his daughter Liz-
zie, a bright-eyed rosy checked girl of .tell
1
8
years.
“0, papa give me 15 cents.”
“What?" J’
“0,1 want 15 cents. Do please give it to
me.”
“What in the w‘orlo do you Want of it?
Are they changing sChool books again ‘2"
“No I want to buy a hoop. Ellen Smith
has got one, and so has Mary Buck and
Sarah Ellen. Mu Grant has got some real
pretty ones to sell. Can’t I have one ?”
“Nonsense! If you want a hoop, go and
get one Off some old barrel. I can‘t afford
to be buying hoops for you to trundle about
the streets.”
“Please, papa.”
“N o, I told you." 1
The bright blue eyes were filled with tears
and the child’s sobbing broke upon his car.
Albert Landman hurried from the house
with some very impatient words upon his
ii 5. ‘
pThis was in the morning. At noon,when
he came home to his. dinner, there was a-
cloud over the household. '9 wife was so-
ber, and even little Lizzie us lly so gay and
blitbesome, was sad and silent.
But these things could not last long in that
household, for the husband and wife really
loved each other devotcdly, and at heart
kind and forebearing. When Albert came
to his supper, Kate greeted him with a kiss,
and in a. moment the sunshine came back;
and had the lesson ended there tbe'husband
might have fancied he had done nothing
wrong, and that the cloud had been nothing
but the exhalation of a domestic ferment, for
which no one was particularly responsible,
though he might have banishcfthc convic-
tion that women’s fashions were a nuisance
and 0. humbug, as well as a frightful draft
upon a husband’s pockets.
After tea Albert did u. few chores around
the house, and thcnhc lighted a cigar and
walked out. He had gone but a short dis-
tance when he met Lizzie. In her right
hand she dragged on old hoop, which she
had taken from an old dilapidated flour bar-
rel, while with ber left She was lIlbbing her
red, swollen eyes. She was in deep grief,
and was sobbing painfully. He stopped his
child and asked what was the matter.
8110 answered as well as- her sobs would
let her, that other girls had laughed at her,
and mode fun‘of her old hoop. They had
nice, pretty hoops, while hers was ugly and
homely. ' .
“Never mind,” said Albert, putting the ht-
llc one on the head (for the child’s grief
touched llilll ;) “perhaps we'll have a new
hoop some time.”
“May n’tI have a new one now? Mr. Grant’s
got one left—oh, such a pretty one l,’
The sobbing had ccaccd, as the child
caught her father’s hand eagerly.
“Not now, Lizzie—not now. I’ll think of
it?” .
Sobbing again, the child-moved on toward
home, dragging the old hoop after her.
At one of the stores, Albert Landman met

I should say from his manner, and from .the
fact that he feels it his duty to go. home at
this hour, that he has a wife and children.
I see by his face that he is kind-hearted '
and generous, and I should judge that he
means to do about as near right as he can.
He has been beaten, and he pays one dollar
and forty cents for the recreation of some
two hours duration. If you would observe,
you will see that he pays it freely, and
pockets the loss with a smile. Happy facul-
ty ! But how (10 you suppose it is at that departments of the government, the subordi—

and had received her grateful, happy kiss,
the question come to his mipd: Which was
the best and happiest result, this or the five
games of billiards? The hoop had cost thir-
ty cents. ‘Hc could play two games of bil-
liards less, and be the absolute gainer often
cents by the pleasant operation.
A few mornings after this, as Albert rose
from the breakfast table, be detected an un-
easy wistful look upon his wife’s face.
“Kate, what is it ?”
“Albert could you Spare me a half dollar
this mornin g ‘2” .
And out come the wallet, and the money
was handed over with a warm, genial smile.
What! Tears at that? Was it possible
that shehad.been so little used to such
scenes on his part that so simple an act of
loving-kindness thus affected her.
How many games of billiards would be
required to secure such satisfaction as Albert
Landman carried with him to the shop?
A very simple lesson, is it not? But how
many may‘gain lusting profit by giving
heed to the lesson!

On Tuesday, the Com-on Resolutions rc-
portod the following, which were adopted
unun imousl y :
PLATFORM.
The Democratic party in National Con-
ycntlon assembled, reposing its trust in the
Intelligence, patriotism and discriminating,
justice of the people, standing upon the con-
stitution as the foundation and limitation of
the powers of the government, and the guar-
anty of the liberties of the citizen; and re-
cogniziug the questions of slavery and seces-
s1on as having been settled for all time to
come by the war or the voluntary action of
the southern states ill constitutional conven-
tiOIl assembled, and never to be renewed or
rte-agitated, do with the r.turn of peace de-
mand:
First—Immediate restoration of all the
states to their rights in the Union, under the
constitution, and of civil government to the
American people.
Second—Amnesty for all past political of-
fences,und the regulation of the elective fran-
(311150 in the statqs by their citizens.
“Third—Payment of the public debt of the
United States as rapidly as practicable; all
moneys drawn from the people by taxation,
except so much as is requisite for the neces—
SItlcs of the government, economically ad-
ministered, being honestly applied to such
payment, and where the obligations of the
government do not expressly state upon
their face, or the law under which they were
Issued does not provide that they shall be
paid in coin, they ought, ill right and in jus-
tice, be paid in the lawful money of the Uni-
ted States.
Fourth—Equal taxation Of every species
of property according to its real value, in-
cluding government bonds and other public
securities.
Fifth—Ono currency for the government
holder,thc pensioner, and the soldier, the
producer and the bond-holder. T
Sixth—Economy in the administration of
the government, the reduction of the stand-
men’s bureau and all political instrumentali-
tios designed to sccm'c negro supremacy,
simplification of the system and the discon-
tinuance of inquisitorial modes of assessing
and collecting internal revenue, so that the
burdens of taxation may be equalized and
lessened, the credit of the government and
the currency made good; the repeal of all
enactments for enrolling the state militia into
national forces in time of peace, and a tax-iii
for revenue upon foreign imports, and such
equal taxation under the Internal Revenue
laws as will afford incidental protection to
domestic nmnulecturcs, and us will, Without
impairing the revenue, impose the least bur-
den upon and best promote and encourage
the great industrial interests of the country.
Seventh—The reform of abuses in the ad-
ministration, the expulsion Of corrupt men
from oflice, the abrogation Useless oflicos, the
restoration of rightful authority to, and the
independence of the executive and judicial
nation of the military to the civil power to
the end that the Ilsurputions of Congress and
the despotism of the sword may cease.
Eighth—Equal rights and? ‘otcction for
naturalized and native born ci izens athomc
and abroad, the assertion of American na-
tionality which shall command the respect
of foreign‘powers'nnd furnish an example
and encouragement to people struggling for
individual rights'ond the maintenance of the
rights of naturalized citizens against the ab-
solute doctrine of immutable allegiance, and
the claims of foreign powers to punish them
for alleged crime committed beydnd their
jurisdiction. ,
In demanding these measures and reforms
we arraign the radical party for its disregard
of right and the unparalleled oppression and
tyranny which have marked its career.
After the most solemn and unanimous
pledge of both Houses of Congress to prose-'
cute the war exclusively for the maintenance
of the government and the pr rvation of
the Union under the constitution, it has re-
pcatedly violated that most sacred plcdge_
under which alone was rallied that noble.
volunteer army which carried our flag to
victory.
Instead of restoring the Union it has, so
for as is in its power, dissolved it, and sub-
jected ten states in time of profound peace,
to military desposiiism and negro supremacy.
It has nullified there the right of trial by
jury; it has abolished the habeas corpus,
that most sacred writ of liberty; it has over-
thrown the fl'ecdom of speech and the press;
it has substituted arbitrary seizures, and ur-
chaluber inquisitions for the constitutional
tribunals; it has disregarded in time of peace
the right of the people to be free from
vute rooms of individuals and seized their
private papers and letters without and spe-
cific charge or notice Of uflidavd, as required
American capital into abastile; it has estab-
lished a system of Spies and official espion-
age to which no cousdtulionnl monarchy of
Europe would now dare to resort; it has
abolished the right of appeal on important
constitutional questions to the supreme judi-
cial tribunals, and threatens to curtail or
destroy its original jurisdiction, which is ir-
revocably vested by the Constitution, while
the learned Chief Justice has been subjected
to the most atrocious caluumies, merely be-
cause he would not prostitute his high oflicc
to the support of the false and partisan
charges preferred against the President. Its
corruption and extravagance have exceeded
anything known in history, and by its frauds
and monopolies it has nearly doubled the
burden of thedcbt created by the war. It
has stripped the President of his constitu-
tional power of appointment, even Of his
own cabinet. - Under its repeated assaults
the pillars Of the government are rocking on
their base, and should it succeed in Novem-
ber next, and inaugurate its President, we
will meet as a. subjected and conquered peo-
ple amid the ruins of liberty and the scat-
tered fragments of the Constitution, and we
do declare and resolve that ever since the
people of the United States throw off all-sub-
jection to the British crown, the privilege
and trust Of suffrage have belonged to the
several states, and have been granted, rogu-
lutcd and controlled exclusively by the po-
litical powe‘r of each state respectively, and
that any attempt b Congress, on any pre-
text whatever, to eprive any state Of this
right, or interfere with its exercise, is a flu-
rant usurpation of power which can find no
warrant in the Constitution, and if sanction-
ed by the people, vill subvert our form of
government and can only end 111 a single
centralized and consolidated government on
which the. separate existence of the states
will be entirely absorbed, and an upquulified
despotism be established in place 0 a federal
Union of co-equul states; and that we record
the Reconstruction acts (so-called) of ‘on-
'ess, as such, are usurpations, and uncon-
stitutional, revolutionary and void; that our
soldiers and sailors who carried the flag of
country to victory against a most gallant
and determined foc', must ever be gratefully
remembered, and all the guaranties given in
their favor must be faithfully carried into
execution. . -
That the public lands should be distributed
as widely as possible among tllc people, and
should be disposed of either under the pre-
’emption of homestead lands, and sold in
reasonable quantities, and not to none but
amtual occupants, at. the minimum price cs-
tublishcd by the government. When grants
of the public lands may be allowed, neces-
sary for the encouragement. of important
public improvements, tho proceeds of the
sale of such lands, and not the lands them-
selves should be on applied. v
That the President Of the United Sluice,
Andrew Johnson in t-xcrcisiuw the DOWCI'Iil'
his high Oilicc in resisting ilu- :lggl'vssimlsof
Congress upon the constitutional rightsof
the states and the people, is entitled to the
gratitude of the whole American people, and
in behalf of the Democratic party we tender
him our tllz'lnks for his patriotic efforts in
that regard; . » .
Upon this plutfilrm the Democratic party
appeal to every patriot, including all the co -
servutive element, and all who desire to snid-
pOl't the Constitution and restore the Union
forgetting all past differences of opinion, to
The Democratic National Convention as-
scmblcd in Tammany Hall, New York, July
4th, at noon, and was called to order by All-
gust Belmont, Chairman of the National
Committee; Henry S. Palmer of \Viscousin,
was chosen temporary chairman, and the
1' $1108 of the Convention of 1864 were adopt-
Comlniltec on Credentials, Permanent
for the liberties of the people; and that to
all such, to whatever party they may have
heretofore belonged, we extend the right
hand of fellowship, and hail all such co-opc-
rating With us as friends and brethren.
The roll of States, was then called, candi-
dates nominated and six ballots taken, when
no choice having bccn made the Convention
adjourned.
On Wednesday, twelve more ballots were
taken, without choice.

and four more ballots were taken, resulting
in the nomination of Horatio Seymour, of N.
Y. The vote was made unanimous. Nom-
inations were then made for a candidate for
the Vice Presidency, and Frank P. Blair, of
Missouri, received every vote.
. We give below the result of all the ballot-
mg for President, showing every vote cast:
