Preceding almost every important election in New England recently, the author lias heard frequent inqui- ries for some paper or book which gave the returns by towns at the last previous election. In New England we feel proud of our town system, and the election re- turns are made by towns ; in nearly every other State no political division below counties is regarded as of any great importance. The " Tribune " and " Democratic " almanacs give tables of returns by counties in nearly every State, which answers the demand for reference outside of New England. About the time of the New Hampshire election, last March, the compiler first thought of publishing the work now presented, for use in the Presidential Campaign of 1868. Official fig- ures have been obtained from the office of each Secretary of State, at considerable trouble and expense, and the tables of votes are believed to be in all cases reliable. The census of each town for 1850 and 1860 are also given, antl those taken under authority of the States of Massachusetts and Rhode Island in 1865. It is believed that this feature will greatly add to the value of the work, and cause it to be preserved for reference after the next election returns shall have given place to later ones. The arrangement of towns alphabetically has involved great labor, but it is believed will render the work more acceptable to those who often desire to refer to some town with whose geographical location they may not be altogether familiar. The names of Udi cities, towns and voting-places are given, divided 8 INTRODUCTORY. as follows : Maine, 485 ; New Hampshire, 231 : Vermont, 245 ; Massachusetts, 336 ; Rhode Island, 34 ; Connecti- cut, 163. In one or two States there is a discrepancy between the votes of some towns and counties, and the total oflScial vote. In these cases errors of omission, or mistakes were made by town officers in the names of candidates, and the votes were credited to " scatter- ing," or omitted altogether. The compiler has given such votes as they should have been returned. In addition to the census and election returns of New England towns, other, and by no means secondary, fea- tures of the "Manual," it is trusted, will prove conven- ient and useful : such as the popular vote of all the States taking part in the elections for President in 1860 and 1864 ; popular vote at most recent elections ; times of elections ; area of each State and population in 1850 and 1860, with the classes at the latter period; Gov- ernors of States ; United States Government, with the majority for each Representative in Congress at his last election; History of Impeachment ; summary of the pro- ceedings of the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, the platform adopted by each, sketches of the candidates, with the sentiments of each as pre- sented in his letter of acceptance, &c. It has been the purpose of the author to make this "Manual" acceptable as a work of reference, alike to Democrats, Conservatives, Republicans and Radicals, by omitting everything that might give it a partizan character; and it is sent forth with the hope that it may to some extent benefit every one into whose hands it may chance to fall. Lowell, July, 1868. NEW ENGLAND. Though relatively only a small section of the great American Union, New England has a larger territory than the kingdom of Portugal, is two-thirds as large as Italy, one-third as large as Spain, and half as large as England and Ireland combined. Maine exceeds in ter- ritorial extent Bavaria with its four and one-half mil- lions of people, is twice as large as Switzerland with its two and one-half millions of inhabitants, and more than twice as large as Holland with its three and one- half millions of Dutchmen, and is nearly three times as large as Hanover. Saxony, with less than two-thirds the territorial extent of New Hampshire, has six times as large a population. Vermont and Rhode Island uni- ted are equal in extent to Belgium, with its four and one half millions of souls ; and Wurtemburg, with less territory than Massachusetts, has half a million more people. The State of Connecticut is larger than the Roman States, the dominion of Pius Ninth. Constant, powerful and well rewarded efforts have been made and are still making, through the medium of the press, by lecturers, emigrant aid societies, agents and' circulars to convince New England people that happiness, prosperity and wealth are sure anywhere and everywhere save in the East. Nor have our own officials and citizens always endeavored to combat these ideas and efforts ; for it is only a few years since that a patriotic, and now lamented, Governor of a New Eng- land State, in his annual message to the Legislature, recommended the adoption of some measure to aid young women to leave the State and seek homes else- where. These arguments and efforts have had their influence not only to induce natives of New England to immigrate, and to a great extent decrease the population in cer- tain localities, as the tables published elsewhere prove, but to turn to some extent the tide which might have increased her population by inducing industrious and thrifty outsiders to settle within her borders. Hun- dreds of thousands of the young, tens of thousands of 10 NEW ENGLAND. the middle-aged, and thousands of those past the me- ridian of life, have bid farewell to the homes, associa- tions and scenes of New England, and sought new ones in distant States and Territories. In 1850 the number of persons of New England birth in the United States was 2,821,823, of whom 453,896 resided outside of the six New England States. In 1860 the number of natives of New England had increased to 3,144,598, of whom 560,336 — or more than one-sixth — resided elsewhere. The natural increase of natives was, therefore, 322,775, while the immigrants had increased 106,440, showing that the immigration equalled one-third of those born. Taking the estimate for deaths it is safe to say that the number of those leaving New England between the two decennial periods must have been 15,000 or 16,000 annu- ally. The New Englanders resident in New York in 1860 amounted to 177,981, more than the population of Rhode Island that year. Illinois had received 66,093 ; Wiscon- sin, 54,340; Ohio, 53,386; Michigan, 38,106 ; California, 82,269; Pennsylvania, 25,555; Iowa, 25,040; Minnesota, 18,822 ; Indiana, 12,307, and other States and Territories smaller numbers. The New England population of eight of those called the Western States, increased 100,000 in ten years. Some of these immigrants no doubt im- proved their condition, but tens of thousands were no better off than when they left their former homes in New England, but want of means or pride have pre- vented them from returning. Statistics prove the fact that New England, if older, and by many represented as worn out, gives better re- turns even for agricultural labor, than some of the newer States. The Virginia Advertiser, published at Lynchburg, in that State, a few months ago, gave some comparisons, which coming from an impartial source is worthy of place here. Under the head of " Some Facts worth Knowing " the Advertiser says : "We have taken the troiible to compile from the Report of the Commissiouer of Agi-iculture, for 1805, the followiug interesting table, exhibiting at a glance the relative productiveness and value of crops of the New England States and six of the Western States, viz : Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota, We have selected the sLx New England States as being considered the NEW ENGLAND. 11 least productive agricultural States of any on the Atlantic slope, and the six named Western States as being among the most pro- ductive agricultural States of the West, and these we propose to compare by the light of the official statistics furnished by the De- partment of Agriculture for four years, from 1862 to 1805 inclusive. We have selected all of the staple crops of the two sections, and believe the table presents as fair a comparison as can be made between them. Average yield per year. Aver, value pr. acre. N. Eng. W.

Knowing as we did, the superiority of the East over the West, still we had not thought that bakren -New EnglajsD was ahead even in the quan- tity produced. It will be observed by examining the above table that while the Eastern States are a little ahead in quantity pro- duced, the VALUE PER ACRE ARE >fEARLy DOUBLE those Of the West. In other words a farmer in New England will make nearly twice as much money from the cultivation of one acre of land as the farmer in the Western States. Though this result is contrary to the commonly received opinion we believe it to be correct. The Virginia editor proceeds to show that his section is far behind the West, and consequently greatly behind New England. It is far from the purpose of the writer to say anything against the great — the patriotic West — against Illinois, which has given us a Lincoln and a Grant ; against Ohio, the home of a Sherman, a Sheri- dan and a Brough; against Indiana, the residence of a Wallace, a Morton and a Colfax, or against other States which have given the country so any eminent men, wise in council, and so many patriotic men, brave in war. All honor to the West ; may it prosper and increase in wealth and power. But it is believed the West does not need the young life-blood of New England to ensure her prosperity, which while they '' enrich her makes us poor indeed." The outpouring tide of immigrants should not be checked by detracting from the West, and fer- menting feelings of envy and distrust which never re- sult in good, but by inspiring the East with new zeal, and making it for the interest of the young to remain on the soil on which they were born. THE SOUTHEEN ELECTOEAL COLLEGE BILL. The following is a copy of the bill excluding certain States from voting for President, vetoed by the Presi- dent, but passed by Congress over the veto, July 20th, 1868. That none of the States whose inhabitants were lately in rebel- lion, and which States are not now represented in Congress, shall be entitled to representation in the electoral college for the choice of President and Vice President of the United States, nor shall any electoral votes be received or counted from any of such States, unless at the time prescribed by law for the choice of electors the people of such States, pursuant to acts of Congress in that behalf, shall have since the 4th of March, 1867, adopted a constitution of State government under which a State government shall have been organized and shall be in operation, and unless such election of electors shall have been made under the authority of such consti- tution and government, and such States shall have also become entitled to representation in Congress, pursuant to acts of Con- gress in that behalf. ADDITIONAL EETUENS, EEEATA, ETC. Alabama.— J. B. Callis has been qualified as Representative in Congress from the 5th District, instead of Joseph W. Burke, who was first reported elected, and whose name is given ou page 62. George E. Spencer has been elected United States Senator for the term ending in 1873, and Willard Warner, for the term ending in 1871. iNxiiANA.— George W. Julian, Representative in Congress, has been nominated for re-election. Mississippi. — The vote on the Constitution is reported as fol- lows : Yeas. 56,231 ; Nays, 63,860 ; majority for rejection, 7,629. The Democratic State ticket is elected. The members of Congress are : District 1, Charles H. Towiisend; 2, T. N. Martin; 3, G. P. M. Tur- ner ; 4, George C. McKee ; 5, William T. Martin. Mr. McKee is a Republican; the others Democrats. Oino.— The Republican vote in 1867, on page 57, should read 243,605 instead of 263,605. The majority given— 2,983 Republican- is correct. Oregon.— Vote for Congressmen, 1868 : Joseph S.

PEESIDENTIAL ELECTOEAL VOTE SINCE 1788. The following shows the votes for President and Vice President since the establishment of our National Gov- ernment. Previous to 1804, the electors voted for two persons, but did not designate which should be Presi- dent and which Vice President. A majority of electoral votes, as now, were required to elect the President, but the person receiving the second highest number of votes became Vice President. At the first two elections there were no party divisions. 1788. George Washington, 69; John Adams, 34; JohnJay, 9;R. H.

The Fedei-alists preferred the latter " as a choice of two evils," as they then thought. The Con- stitution was amended so that the electors should thereafter vote separately for President and Vice President.] 1804.

This territory for which Congress, just before its adjoiirnment, appropriated $7,200,000, the price agreed upon to be paid Russia, contains a territory estimated at from 400,000 to 570,000 square miles, thus adding to upward of 3,000,000 square miles in the United States previously, that large amount of terri- tory. The coast is said to extend over 4,000 miles, and the fish- eries and furs are very valuable, but whether in other respects it will be largely profitable is yet to be determined. Its population, owing to the climate, is small, being estimated from 40,000 to 75,000. Amnesty. The anmesty ijroclamation of President Johnson, issued July 4th, 1868, pardons every person who, directly or indi- i-ectly, participated in the late insurrection or rebellion, excepting such persons as may be under presentment or indictment in any Court of the United States upon a charge of treason or other fel- ony, with restoration of all rights of property except as to slaves, and except also as to any property Of which any person may have been legally divested under the laws of the United States. Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or per- suasion, religious or political Economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burdened; the honest pay- ment of our debts, and sacred preservation of the public faith.— TH03IAS Jefferson's first inaugural address. The PtTBLic DEBT. The public debt of the United States at its highest point, 31st of August, 1865, was $2,757,689,571 over the amount of cash^in the Treasury , On the 1st of June, 1868, it was $2,510,245,886.

Harriman in his last message, says that the people of New Hampshire probably consume about a barrel of flour a year, each, at a cost of $6,000,000, He believes that wheat enough can be raised in the State for the use of its people. Three acres of wheat to each farm would be 90,000 acres, and a yield of fifteen bushels per acre would give 1,350,000 bushels, enough to make 300,000 barrels of flour, or nearly one to each person.

In 1855 the productions of 245,908 persons engaged in industrial pursuits were valued at $295,820,082, showing the average of each person to be $1202.97. This result was most satisfactory, hut in 1805 the progress of the preceding ten years was shown hy the official returns to be quite astonishing; for in the last year the statistics revealed the fact that the value of the productions of 271,421 persons Avas $517,240,613, or an average of $1905.07. This last, it should be borne in mind, was in a time of war, during the progress of which 159,000 of the men of Massachusetts had been engaged in the work of suppressing the rebellion, some for the whole four years and others for a shorter period. The leading and most valuable articles of manufactures or productions were the followmg: Cotton goods, $54,430,881; boots and shoes, $.52,- 915,243; woolen goods, $48,430,071, calico and delaines, $25,258,703; clothing, $17,743,894; tanning and cuiTying, $15,821,712; hay, $13,- 195,274; paper, $9,008,521, &c. During the late rebellion Massachusetts contributed to the Federal Army and Navy, an aggregate of 1.59,105 men, and she expended for the war out of her own Treasury, $27,705,109, be- sides the expenditures of her cities and towns.

HISTORY OF IMPEACHMENT. March 2nd, 1867, Congress by a vote of thirty-five to eleven in the Senate, and one hundred and thirty-three to thirty-seven in the House — a strict party vote — passed a lawover the vetoof the Presi- dent, to regulate the tenure of certain civil offices. The act provided among other things " that every person holding any civil office to which he has been appointed by and with the advice of the Senate, and every person who shall hereafter be appointed to any such office, &c., shall be entitled to hold such office until a succes- sor shall have been appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate and duly qualified." It specified that members of the Cabinet shall hold their offices respectively for and during the term of the President b}^ whom the}' may"^have been appointed, and for one month thereafter, subject to removal by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The act like- wise provided that the President may for misconduct or other cause, temporarily suspend officers during the recess of the Senate, and on the meeting of that body, he must report his reasons for such action, and if the Senate concurs he may remove the officer and appoint a successor, but if the Senate does not concur the officer resumes the duties of his office. The penalt}- for the vio- lation of the act is a fine not exceeding ten thousand'dollars. President Johnson suspended Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary' of War, from office, August 12th, 1867, and Gen. Grant was appointed adinteriin to perform the duties of the office. January 13th, 1SG8, the Senate by a vote of thirty-five to six, voted that they do not concur in the suspension of Mr. Stanton, and General Grant re- tired and Mr. Stanton resumed his former duties. 1 he Senators voted as follows : Yeas.— Messrs. Anthony, Cameron, Cattell, Chandler, Cole, Conkling, Conness, Corbett, Cragin, Drake, Edmunds, Ferry, Fesseuden, Fowler, Frelinghuysen, Harlan, Howard, Howe, Mor- gan, Morrill of Maine, Morrill of Vermont, Morton, ?ns provided by the laws for these brave defenders of the nation, are obligations never to be forgotten ; the widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people— a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation's protecting care. XI. Foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development and resources and increase of power to this republic, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy. XII. This Convention declares itself in sympathy with all op- pressed peoples struggling for their rights. Resolved, That we highly commend the spirit of magnanimity and forbearance with which the men who have served in the Re- bellion, but now frankly and honestly co-operate with us in re- storing the peace of the country and reconstructing the Southern State Governments upon the basis of impartial justice and equal rights, are I'eceived back into the communioii of the loyal people; and we favor the removal of the disqualifications and restrictions imposed upon the late Rebels in the same measure as their spirit of loyalty will direct, and so may be consistent M'ith the safety of the loyal people. NATICmAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. 73 Resolved, That we recognize the great principles laid down in the immortal Declaration of Independence as the true foundation of democratic government, and we hail with gladness every effort toward making these principles a living reality on every inch of American soil. After the adoption of the platform the name of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was proposed as the can- didate for President of the United States, and the roll of States was called. Every delegate voted for Gen. Grant, and amid great enthusiasm he was declared unanimously nominated, having received 650 votes. The Convention next proceeded to ballot for Vice President, a number of names having been presented for that office. The following was the result of the five ballotings which followed : Itst. 2n the events of the preceding few days, said — " I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. 75 siege of Eichmond was fairly inaugurated June 14th, and the lines were being constantly contracted from that date until the latter part of March, 1865, when commenced the final battles of the war, which in one week terminated by the capture of Richmond, April 2d, and on the 9th of that month Gen. Robert E. Lee, sur- rendered the main rebel Army to Gen. Grant. July 25th, 1866, Gen. Grant was appointed General of the Armies of the United. States, the highest military title ever conferred in this country, and which rank he still holds. He served as Secretary of War ad interim from August 12th, 1867, to January 13th, 1868, when in obedience to a vote of the United States Senate he retired that Ed- win M. Stanton might be restored to the office from which he had been suspended. May 21st, 1868, the Union Republican National Convention unanimously nominated Gen. Grant as candidate for President of the United States. Hon. Schuyler Colfax, candidate for Vice Presi- dent, is a native of the city of New York, born March 23d, 1823. He received a fair common school education, and in 1836, removed with his mother's family to South Bend, Indiana. He was clerk in a store for a time, but soon after reaching his majority, became proprietor and editor of the St. Joseph's Begister, published at South Bend. In 1818 and 1852 he was delegate to the Whig National Conventions, serving as a secretary of each. In 1850 he was a member of the Indiana Constitutional Convention, and the following year he was a candidate for Representative in Congress, but was defeated by less than 300 majority. He was successful in 1854 and has been six times re-elected. Soon after he entered Congress he became a prominent member on the Repub- lican side, and for two successive sessions was chair- man of the committee on Post Offices and Post Roads. He was elected Speaker of the House of Representa- tives in 1863, and will have served in that capacity six years when his present term expires. In 1865, he made a tour " Across the Continent" to the Pacific, and has lectured on his tour in the principal cities of the North. May 21st, 1868, he was nominated by the Union Repub- 76 NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. lican National Convention as candidate for Vice Presi- dent of the United States, over several competitors, and the nomination was afterward made unanimous. GEN. GRANT S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. To Gen. Joseph R. Havvley, President of the National Union Republican Convention : In formally accepting the nomination of the National Union Republican Convention of the 21st of May inst., it seems proper that some statement of views beyond the mere acceptance of the nomination should be expressed. The proceedings of the Convention were marked with wisdom, modera- tion, and patriotism, and I believe express the feelings of the great mass of those who sustained the country through its recent trials. I endorse the resolutions. If elected to the office of Presi- dent of the United States, it will be my endeavor to administer all the laws in good faith, with economy, and with the view of giving peace, quiet and protection everywhere. In times like the present it is impossible, or at least eminently improper to lay down a policy to be adhered to, right or wrong, through an administra- tion of four years. New political issues, not foreseen, are con- stantly arising; the views of the public on old ones are constantly changing, and a purely administrative officer should always be left free to execute the will of the people. I always have respected that will, and always shall. Peace and universal prosperity — its sequence — with economy of administration will lighten the burden of taxation, Avhile it constantly reduces the national debt. Let us have peace. With great respect, your obedient servant, U. S. GRANT. Washington, D. C, May 29, 1868. MR. COLFAx's LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. Hon. J. R. Hawley, &c.,—Dear Sir: The platform adopted by the patriotic Convention over which 3'ou presided, and the reso- lutions which so happilj' supplement it, so entirely agree with my views as to a just national policy that my thanks are due to the Delegates as much for this clear 'and auspicious declaration of principles as for the nomination with which I have been honored, and Avhich I gratefully accept. When a great Rebellion, which imperiled the national existence, was at last overthrown, the duty of all others, devolving on those entrusted with the responsibilities of legislation, evidently was to require that the revolted States should be re-admitted to participation in the Government against which they had erred only on such a basis as to increase and fortify, not to weaken or endanger, the strength and power of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. 77 nation. Certainly no one ought to have claimed that they should be readmitted under such rule that their organization as States could ever again be used, as at the opening of the war, to defy the national authority or to destroy the national unity. This principle has been the pole-star of those who have inflexibl^r in- sisted on the Congressional policy, your Convention so cordially indorsed. Baffled by Executive opposition, and by persistent re- fusals to accept any plan of reconstruction proffered by Congress, justice and public safety at last combined to tea»^h us that only by an enlargement of suffrage in those States could the desired end be attained, and that it was even more safe to give the ballot to those who loved the Union than to those who had sought ineffectually to destroy it. The assured success of this legislation is being written on the adamant of history, and will be our triumphant vindication. More clearly, too, than ever before, does the nation now recognize that the greatest glory of a republic is that it throws the shield of its protection over the humblest and weakest of its people, and vindicates the rights of the poor and the powerless as faithfully as those of the rich and the powerful. I rejoice, too, in this connection, to find in your platform the frank and fearless avowal that naturalized citizens must be protected abroad at every hazard, as though they were native-born. Our whole people are foreigners, or descendants of foreigners; our fathers established by arms their right to be called a nation. It remains for us to establish the right to welcome to our shores all who are willing, by oaths of alle- giance, to become American citizens. Perpetual allegiance, as claimed abroad, is only another name for perpetual bondage, and would make all slaves to the soil where first they saw the light. Our National cemeteries prove how faithfully these oath of fidelity to their adopted land have been sealed in the life blood of thou- sands upon thousands. Should we not, then, be faithless to the dead if we did not protect their living brethren in the full enjoy- ment of that nationality for which, side by side, with the native born, our soldiers of foreign birth laid down their lives. It was fitting too, that the representatives of a party which had proved so true to national duty in time of war, should speak so clearly in time of peace for the maintenance untarnished of the national honor, national credit and good faith as regards its debt, the cost of our national existence. I do not need to extend this reply by further comment on a platform which has elicited such hearty approval throughout the land. The debt of gratitude it acknowl- edges to the brave men who saved the Union from destruction, the frank approval of amnesty based on repentance and loyalty, the demand for the most thorough economy and honesty in the Government, the sympathy of the party of liberty whith all throughout the world who longed for the liberty we here enjoy, and the recognition of the sublime principles of the Declaration TS NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. of Independence, are worthy of the organization, on whose ban- ners they are to be written in the coming contest. Its past record cannot be blotted out or forgotten. If there had been no Republi- can party, Slavery would to-day cast its baleful shadow over the republic. If there had been no Republican party, a free press, and free speech would be as unknown from the Potomac to the Rio Grande as ten years ago. If the Republican party could have been stricken from existence when the banner of Rebellion was unfurled, and when the response of " No Coercion " was heard at the North, we would have had no nation to-day. But for the Republican party daring to risk the odium of tax, and draft laws, our flag could not have been kept flying in the field until the long hoped for victory came. Without a Republican party the Civil Rights bill— the guarantee of equality under the law to the hum- ble, and the defenceless, as well as to the strong — would not be to-day upon our National Statute book. With such inspiration from the past, and following the example of the founders of the Republic, who called the victorious General of the Revolution to preside over the land his triumphs had saved from its enemies, I cannot doubt that our labors will be crowned with success; and it will be a success that shall bring restored hope, confidence, pros- perity, and progress South as well as North, West as well as East, and above all, the blessings under Providence of National concord and peace. Very truly yours, SCHUYLER COLFAX. A Soldiers' and Sailors' Convkntion was held at Chicago, May 19th, 1868. Gen. Lucius Fairchiid, of Wisconsin, presided. The resolutions endorsed Gon. Grant for President, pledged their earnest and active support to the Republican party, approved of the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, demand protection for nat- uralized citizens abroad, and tender sympathy and support to the loyal men of the South. The mystic cords of memor^^, stretching from every battle-field and patriot grave to ever}' living heart and hearth-stone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature. — Abraham Lincoln's Jirst inaugural address. With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and or- phans, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. — Abraham Lincoln's last inaugural address. DEMOCKATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION, 1868. This body met in Tammany Hall, New York, Saturday, July 4th, and was called to order by August Belmont, of New York, chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Henry L. Palmer, of Wisconsin, was chosen temporary President. The first day was occu- pied with the transaction of preliminary business com- mon to such assemblies. On Mouday, 6th, Hon. Horatio Seymour, of New York, was elected permanent President, and a Vice President and Secretary were reported and elected for each State. Little progress was made on this day, and the conven- tion adjourned until Tuesday, 7th, when the committee on resolutions made their report, and after discussion it was unanimously adopted as THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. The Democratic Party in National Convention assembled, re- posing its trust in the intelligence, patriotism, and discriminat- ing justice of the people, standing upon the Constitution as the foundation and limitation of the powers of the Government, and the guai'anty of the liberties of the citizen, and recognizing the questions of Slavery and Secession as having been settled for all time to come by the war, or the voluntary action of the South- ern States in constitutional conventions assembled, and never to be renewed or re-agitated, do with the return of peace demand: I. Immediate restoration of all the States to their rights in the Union, under the Constitution, and of civil government to the American i^eople. II. Amnesty for all past political offences and the regulation of the elective franchise in the States by their citizens. III. 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 necessities of the Govern- ment economically administered, 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, in right and in justice, be paid in the lawful money of the United States. IV. Equal taxation of every species of property, according to its real value, including Government bonds and other public secu- rities. V. One currency for the Government and the people, the la- borer and the office-holder, the pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the bondholder. 80 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. VI. Economy in the administration of the Government, the reduction of the standing army and navy, the abolition of the Freedmen's Bureau and all ijolitical instrumentalities designed to secure negi-o supremacy; simplification of the system and dis- continuance of inquisitorial modes of assessing and collecting In- ternal Kevenue, so that the burden of taxation may be equalized and lessened, the credit of the Government increased, and the cur- i-ency made good, the repeal of all enactments for enrolling the State Militia into National forces in time of peace, and a tariil'for revenue upon foreign imports, and such equal taxation under the Internal Kevenue laws as will aflbrd incidental protection to do- mestic manufactures, and as will, without impairing the revenue, impose the least burden upon and best promote and encourage the gi-eat industi-ial interests of the country. VII. Reform of abuses in the Administration, the expulsion of corrupt men from office, the abrogation of useless offices, the restoration of righttul authority to and the independence of the Executive and Judicial Departments of the Government, and the subordination of the military to the civil power, to the end that the usurpations of Congress and the despotism of the sword may cease. VIII. Equal rights and protection for naturalized and native born citizens at home and abroad, the assei'tion of American nationalitj' which shall command the respect of foreign powers and furnish an example and encouragement to people struggling for national integi'ity, constitutional liberty, and individual rights ; and the maintenance of the rights of naturalized citizens, against the absolute doctrine of immutable allegiance and the claims of foreign i)owers to punish them for alleged crime committed be- yond their jurisdiction. In demanding these measures and reforms we aiTaign the Eadi- cal 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 prosecute the war exclusively for the maintenance of the Government and the preservation of the Union under the Constitution, it has re- peatedlj" violated that most sacred pledge under which alone was rallied that noble volunteer army which carried our flag to victor}-. Instead of restoring the Union, it has, so far as in its power, dis- solved it, and subjected ten States in time of profound peace to military despotism and negro supremacy. It has nullified there the right of trial by jury; it has abolishe'd the habeas corpus, that most sacred writ ot liberty; it has overthrown the freedom of speech and the press; it has substituted arbitrary seizures and arrests, and military trials, and secret star-chamber inquisitions for the constitutional tribunals ; it has disregarded in time of peace the right of the people to be free from searches and seizures, it has entered the post and telegraph offices, and even the private rooms of individuals, and seized their private papers and letters without any specific charge or notice of affidavit, as required by the organic law; it has converted the American capitol into a Bastile ; it has established a system of spies and of espionage to which no constitutional monarchy of Europe would dare to resort; it has abolished the right of appeal on important constitu- DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. 81 tional questions to the supreme judicial tribunals, and threatens to curtail or destroy its original jurisdiction which is irrevocably vested by the Constitution; while the learned Chief-Justice has been subjected to the most atrocious calumnies merely because he would not prostitute his high office to the support of the false and partisan charges preferred against the President. Its corrup- tion and extravagance have exceeded anything known in history; and by its frauds and monopolies it has nearly doubled the burden of the debt created by the war. It has stripped the Pi-esident of his Constitutional 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 November next and inaugurate its President, we will meet as a subject and con- quered people amid the ruins of liberty and the shattered frag- ments of the Constitution; and we do declare and resolve, that ever since the people of the United States threw off all subjection to the British Crown the privilege and trust of suffrage have be- longed to the several States, and have been granted, regulated and controlled exclusively by the political power of each State respectively, and that any attempt by Congress, on any pretext whatever, to deprive any State of this right, or interfere with its exercise, is a flagrant usurpation of power which can find no warrant in the Constitution; and, if sanctioned by the people, will subvert our form of government, and can only end in a sin- gle centralized and consolidated government, in which the sepa- rate existence of the States will be entirely absorbed, and an unqualified despotism be established in i^lace of a Federal Union of coequal States; and that we regard the reconstruction acts (so called) of Congress, as such a usurpation and unconstitutional, revolutionary and void; that our soldiers and sailors who carried the flag of our country to victory against a most gallant and deter- mined foe, must ever be gratefully remembered and all the guar- antees given in their favor must be faithfullj^ carried into execu- tion. That the public lands should be distributed as widely as possible among the people, and should be disposed of either under the pre-emption or homestead laws, and sold in reasonable quantities, and to none but actual occupants, at the minimum price established by the Government. When grants of the public lands may be allowed necessary for the encouragement of impor- tant public improvements, the proceeds of the sale of such lauds, and not the lands themselves, should be so applied. That the President of the United States, Andrew Johnson, in exercising the power of his high office in resisting the aggressions of Congress upon the Constitutional rights of 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 thanks for his patriotic efforts in that regard. Upon this platform the Democratic party appeal to every patriot, including all the Con- servative element, and all who desire to support the Constitution and restore the Union, forgetting all past differences of opinion to unite with us in the present great struggle for the liberties of the Eeople; and that to all such, to whatever party they may have eretofore belonged, we extend the right hand of fellowship, and hail all such co-operating with us as friends and brethren. bJ DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. Preceding the balloting for a candidate for President, the convention reaffirmed the old rule of Democratic National Conventions, requiring two-thirds of all the delegates to nominate. As there were 317 delegates in attendance from thirty-seven States, 212 were therefore required to nominate. Nominations of candidates for President were called for, and the names of James E. English of Connecticut, George H. Pendleton of Ohio, Winfleld S. Hancock of Pennsylvania, Asa Packer of Pennsylvania, Sanford E. Church of New York, Joel Parker of New Jersey, Andrew Johnson of Tennessee, and James R. Doolittle of Wisconsin, were severally proposed, to which was afterward added those of Thos. A. Hendricks of Indiana, Erank P. Blair, of Missouri, and others. On Tuesday six ballotings were taken, on Wednesday twelve, and on Thursday four, making in all twenty-two.

McCook, of Ohio, proposed the name of Horatio Seymour in behalf of his delegation, saying that the latter could now accept the nomination without dishonor though it might be against his inclination. Mr. Sey- mour, who occupied the chair, protested against the use of his name, thanked the convention and the Ohio delegation for the intended honor, but said that he could not receive the nomination without placing himself and the great Democratic party in a false position. He hoped that God would bless them, but their candidate he could not be. Mr. Seymour shortly after called Gen. Price, of Missouri, one of the Vice Presidents, to the chair, and retired from the hall. Several delegates ap- pealed to the convention, and the result was that State after State changed their votes from others to Hon. Horatio Seymour, and amidst a scene of wild excite- ment he was declared the unanimous nominee for Presi- dent. After a recess, the convention reassembled, and sev- eral names were proposed for Vice President, but all were withdrawn in favor of Gen. Francis P. Blair, of Missouri, who was unanimously declared the nomi- nee by acclamation. The convention soon after ad- journed. THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES. Hon. Horatio Seymour, candidate for President, was born in Pompey, Onondaga County, New York, in 1811. He was liberally educated, adopted the profession of law, and commenced its practice in Utica, but inher- 84 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. itiug a large property, devoted himself to its care, and abandoned his profession. He first entered, public life in 1842 as Mayor of Utica-, and member of the Assembly of New York, Tvhich latter position he held three or four years, and served as Speaker in 1845. He has always been a Democrat. In 1850 he was the Demo- cratic candidate for Governor and was supported for the same office four times thereafter, having been twice elected, (1852 and 18G2) and three times defeated. The votes cast for and against him on each occasion were as follows : 1850 Horatio Seymour, 214,352 Wash. Hunt, Whig, 214,614 1852 " " 264,121 " " 239,736 Tompkins, F. S. 19,290 1854 " " 156,495 Myron H. Clark, Whig, 156,804 G. C. Bronson, Dem. 33,890 D. Ullman, K. N., 122,282 1862 Horatio Seymour, 306,649 J. S. Wadsworth, Rep., 295,897 1864 " 'f 361,264 K. E, Fenton, Rep., 309,557 Mr. Seymour was defeated the first time by 262 major- ity, elected the second time by 24,385 ; next defeated by 309 ; then elected by 10,752, and defeated the third time by 8,293 votes. Gov. Seymour's last term was during the late rebellion, and he opposed the policy of the ad- ministration of President Lincoln, though as Governor of the State of New York, he sent forward soldiers. He opposed the draft in 1863, and has been severely cen- sured for his course during the celebrated draft riots in New York City, in July, 1863, it having been charged that while he did not directly encourage the riot, his language in an address made to the rioters was con- strued as palliating their ofience. Mr. Seymour is said not to entertain the views of many members of his party on financial matters, though he also opposes the financial policy of Congress. He presided over the Democratic National Convention held at Chicago in 1864 and at New York the present year. He is an able man, and his name has been mentioned heretofore in connection with the office for which he is now the can- didate of a large party. It was generally understood before the recent convention assembled that he was not an aspirant at this time, but the division as to a can- didate led to bringing him forward at a moment when DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. 85 it seemed that no other man could secure the nomina- tion. Gen. Francis P. Blair, the candidate for Vice Presi- dent, is a native of Lexington, Kentucky, born February 19tli, 1821. He graduated at Princeton College, studied law, and practiced at St. Louis, Missouri, for many years. He served in tlie Mexican war as a private un- der Gen. Doniphan. In 1848, he first became known in political circles as a member of the Free-soil party, was editor of the 3Iissouri Democrat, at one time, and in 1852 and 1854 was elected to the Missouri Legislature as an Emancipationist or supporter of Thomas H. Ben- ton. In 1856 he was elected a Republican member of the National House of Representatives, was defeated in 1858, but re-elected in 1860 and 1862, though his election was contested the last time on the ground of fraudulent voting, and the seat given to Mr. Knox, a Radical. He early entered the military service of the Government after the rebellion commenced, as a Colonel of Missouri volunteers, and was soon after promoted to the rank of Brigadier and Major General. He served under Gen. Fremont in Missouri, and was with Gen. Sherman in his march through Georgia and the Caro- linas, and performed brave duty. He has for the past few years acted with the Democrats, and was supported by them as a candidate for the Missouri Legislature in 1866, but was not elected. He is a man of considerable ability; and has recently subjected himself to sharp criticism by writing a letter favoring the nullification of the reconstruction acts of Congress by a Democratic President, should one be elected at the next election. MR. Seymour's spijech of acceptance. [The compiler desired to insert here the letter of Hon. Horatio Seymour, accepting the nomination for the Presidency, but at the time this portion of the Man- ual went to press, it had not been published; in place of the letter, therefore, is here presented his speech of acceptance, made at a Democratic meeting, held in 86 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION. Tammany Hall, Friday evening, July 10th, the evening of the next day after his nomination.] Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee — I thank you for the courteous terms in which you have communicated to me tlie action of the Democratic National Convention. I have no words adequate to express my gratitude for the good will and kindness which that body has shown to me. Its nomination was unsought and unexpected. It was my ambition to take an active part, from which I am now excluded, 'in the great struggle going on for the restoration of good government, of peace and prosperity to our country. But I have been caught up by the whelming tide that is bearing us on to a great political change, and I find myself unable to resist its pressure. You have also given to me a copy of the resolutions put forth by the Convention, showing its position upon all the great questions which now agitate the country. As the presiding officer of that Convention, I am familiar with their scope and import, and as one of its members I am a party to their terms; they are in accord with my views, and I stand upon them in the contest upon which we are now entering; and I shall strive to carry them out in future wherever I may be placed in public or private life. I congratulate you and all "^conservative men who seek to restore order, peace, prosperity and good government to our land, upon the evidences everywhere shown that we are to triumph at the next election. Those who are politically opposed to us flattered themselves there would be discord in our councils; they mistook the uncertainties of our views as to the best methods of carrying out our purposes for difference of opinion in regard to those purposes. They mistook an intense anxiety to do no act which should not be wise and judicious for a spirit of discord; but during the lengthened proceedings and earnest discussions of the Convention there has prevailed an entire harmony of intercourse, a patient forbearance and a self-sacrificing spirit which are the sure tokens of a coming victory. Accept for yourselves, gentle- men, my wishes for your future welfare and happiness. In a few days I will answer the communication you have just handed me by letter, as is the customary form. GEN. BLAIR's letter OF ACCEPTANCE. Gen. George W. Morgan, &:c.,— Gener-al: I take the earliest opportunity of replying to your letter notifying me of my nomin- ation for Vice President of the United States by the National Democratic Convention, held in New York. I accept without hesitation the nomination tendered in a manner so gratifying, and give you and the committee thanks for the kind and complimen- tary language in which you have conveyed to me the decision of the Convention. DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONTENTION. 87 I have carefully read the resolutions adopted by the Convention, and most cordially concur in every principle and sentiment they announce. My opinion upon all the questions which discriminate the great contending parties, have been freely expressed on all suitable occasions, and I do not deem it necessary at this time to reiterate them. The issues upon which the contest turns are clear, and cannot be obscured or distorted by the sophistries of our ad- versaries. They all resolve themselves into the old and ever re- curring struggle of a few men to absorb the political power of the nation. The effort under every conceivable name and disguise, has always characterized the opponents of the Democratic party, but at no time has the attempt assumed a shape so open and dar- ing as in this contest. The adversaries of free and constitutional government in defi- ance of the express language of the Constitution, have erected a miiitarv despotism in ten of the States of the Union, have taken from the President the power vested in him by the supreme law, and have deprived the Supreme Court of its jurisdiction ; the right of trial by jury, and the great writ of right, the habeas corpus, shields of safety for every citizen, and which have descended to us from the earliest traditions of our ancestors and which our rev- olutionary fathers sought to secure to their posterity forever in the fundamental charter of our liberties, have been ruthlessly trampled under foot by the fragment of a Congress. Whole States and communities of people of our race have been attainted, convicted, condemned and deprived of their rights as citizens without pre- sentment, or trial, or witnesses, but by Congressional enactment of ex post facto laws and in defiance of the constitutional prohibition, denying even to a full and legal Congress the authority to pass any bill of attainder or ex post facto law. The same usurping authority has substituted as electors in place of the men of our race thus illegally attainted and disfranchised, a host of ignorant, negroes, who are "supported in idleness with the public money, and combined together to strip the white race of their birthright, through the management of freedmen's bureaus, and the emissa- ries of conspirators in other States; and to complete the oppres- sion, the military power of the nation has been placed at their disposal, in order to make this barbarism supreme. The military leader under whose prestige this usurping Congress has taken ref- uge since the condemnation of their schemes by the free people of the North in the elections of the last year, and whom they have selected as their candidate, to shield themselves from the result of their own wickedness and crime, has announced his acceptance of tlie nomination, and his willingness to maintain their usurpations over eight millions of white people at the South, fixed to the earth with his bayonets. He exclaims, " Let us have peace." "Peace reigns in Warsaw," was the announcement which heralded the 88 NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. doom of the liberties of a nation. "The empire is peace'," ex- claimed Bonaparte when freedom and its defenders expired under the sharp edge of his sword. The peace to which Grant invites us is the peace of despotism and death. Those who seek to restore the Constitution by exe- cuting the will of the people condemning the reconstruction acts, already pronounced in the elections of last year, (and which will, I am convinced, be still more emphatically expressed by the elec- tion of the Democratic candidate as President of the United States,) are denounced as revolutionists by the partizans of this vindictive Congress. Negro sufirage which the popular vote of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Connecticut and other States have condemned as expressly against the letter of the Con- stitution, must stand because their Senators and Representatives have willed it. If the people shall again condemn these atrocious measures by the election of the Democratic candidate for President, they must not be disturbed. Although decided to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, and although the President is sworn to maintain and support the Constitution, the will of a fraction of a Congress, reinforced with its partisan emissaries sent to the South, and sup- ported there by the soldieiy, must stand against the will of the people, and the decision of the Supreme Court, and the solemn oath of the President to maintain the Constitution. It is revolu- tionary to execute the will of the people. It is revolutionary to execute the judgment of the Supreme Court. It is revolutionary in the President to keep inviolate his oath to sustain the Constitu- tion. This false construction of the vital principle of our goverji- ment is the last resort of those who would have their arbitrary reconstruction swav, and supersede our time honored customs. The nation will say the Constitution must be restored and the will •of the people again prevail. The appeal to the peaceful ballot to attain this end is not war — is not revolution. They make war and revolution who attempt to arrest this quiet mode "of putting aside military despotism, and the usurpations of a fi-agment of a Congress asserting absolute power over that benign system of regulated liberty left us by our fathers. This must be allowed to take its course. This is the only road to peace. It will come with the election of the Democratic candidate, and not with the election of that mailed warrior, whose bayonets are now at the throats of eight millions of people in the South, to compel them to support him as a candidate for the Presidency, and to submit to the dom- ination of an alien race of semi-barbarous men. No perversion of truth or audacity of misrepresentation can exceed that which hails this candidate in arms as an angel of peace. I am very respectfully. Your most obedient servant, F. P. BLAIR. FOUETEENTH AETICLE OF AMENDMENT. The following is the Fourteenth Article of Amend- ment to the Constitution of the United States, which the Southern States were required to adopt previous to re-admission, and which is now adopted by the requisite number of three-quarters of all the States : Section 1. All persons bom or uaturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction tliereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States ; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal proitectiou of the laws. Sec. 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representa- tives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a State, or tlie members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representa- tion therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citi- zens twenty-one years of age in such State. Sec. 3, No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Con- gress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State Leg- islature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to sup- port the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by vote of two-thirda of each House, remove such disability. Sec. 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States authorized by law, including debts incurred for the payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insm-rection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave: but all suchViebts, obligations, and claims shall beheld illegal and void. Sec. 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appro- priate legislation, the provision of this article. THE PEESIDENTIAL ELECTION. The following is a summary of the laws and constitu- tional requirements in the election of a President and Vice President : Electors elected on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The Governor gives notice to electors of their elec- tion, before the first Wednesday in December. Electors meet on the first Wednesday in December, and cast their votes. They then sign three certificates — send a messenger with one to the President of the Senate, at Washington, before the first Wednesday in January — another by mail to the same person, and the third deliver to the United States District Judge, where electors meet. Each State provides by law for filling any vacancy in the Board of Electors, occasioned by absence, death, or resignation. Such of the electors as are present are generally authorized to fill any vacancy. On the second Wednesday in February, Congress shall be in session, and open the returns. The Presi- dent of the Senate shall, in the presence of the House of Representatives, open the certificate of returns, and count the votes. The person having the greatest num- ber of votes for President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors, shall be the President. If no person has a majority as above, the choice is to be made from the highest returned. The members of the House, by States, form themselves into Electoral Committees, and the majority' determine which is to be the choice of the State — each State having only one vote. If neither of the candidates get a majority of the States before the 4th of March, then the Vice President shall act as President. If no candidate for Vice President has a majority of the electors, then from the two highest candidates the Senate elects the Vice President, each Senator having one vote.

Yielding to frequent and urgent solicita- tions from persons in all parts of the country who had experienced the virtues of our med- icines, we began, several years ago, a series of investigations which should lead to the production of a really eflacient Hair Restorer. After the most exhaustive researches into the diseases of the hair and scalp, and their rem- edies, aided by eminent chemists and physi- ologists, we have the pleasure to offer the public a preparation which cannot fail to win tlieir conlidence. It combines the most desirable qualities of the best preparations extant, without their objectionable ones,— the result of a determination to supply M'hat should be both effectual and harmless, whereas, many of the Hair Restorers in the market are feared as dangerous. The large number who have ti'ied the Vigor speak of it in unqualified terms of praise, expressing the fullest satisfaction with its results. It is a Delightful Dressing, Rendering the hair soft, pliant and glossy, and perfuming it with a new odor of rare delicacy, much admired by all who have used it. On account of these peculiarities, it is already sought by ladies whose hair is so abimdant as to require only a rich dressing. It excites the scalp to excrete its nioisture, so that after the Vigor has dissipated, the hair is kept soft by this, its own proper unguent. Such a HAIR DRESSING as we now supply has been long de- sii'ed, — one which could be relied on to effect known results, with- out being offensive, or injurious to the hair or the general health. Where a preparation is not needed to reproduce nor to color the hair, the use of the Vigor will be found highly beneficial, as tend- ing to keep up the vitality of the growth; and, as a dressing, is superior to any in the market, and is surely the best we can pro- duce. To many the preservation of this great natural ornament is so much an object, that we know we are meeting an urgent want when we supply a safe and agreeable dressing, which beautifies the hair if it is abundant, preserves it if decaying, and restores it and its beauty when they have been lost.
