On the; other hand the plain indisputable meaning of the Democratic platform is that there should be no exemptions in favor, of the laboring classes, but that taxes should.be laid equally upon every species of property according to its real value, and not according to whether it: is a luxury or an article of indispensable use.

New York; Sept. 15. A steamer called the. Dumbarton, which has been fitting out at various piers in this city and Brooklyn, sailed under -very mysterious circumstances from this port about six weeks ago. Information in the hands of United States Marshal Murray led him to believe that her object is to take a cargo of slaves from the African coast to Cuba or Brazil.

There was no evidence tangible enough to authorize a seizure while she was in port, but later information has confirmed the Marshal in this belief since she sailed. It is thought that she will stop at one of the small Nova Scotia ports to take on additional supplies. Another vessel is' fitting" out here at present, intended, it is supposed for-the same purpose."

In spite of the most desperate attempts of the Democracy to reduce the Republican majority, aided- by a prodigal ex-penditureof money, supplied "by Sevmour's Wall street friends, the State gives ,20,000 majority, nearly 'twice the majority of last year. The Republicans elect thejr j-Jiol estate ticket They carry every Congressional district carry every county They elect a Legislature that is' almost unanimously i cl i The toate election in Maine in 1860 resulted in a Republican majority of 18,091 in 1864, it was 15,913 last year the majority was now we have 20,000 majority. 'An unusual degree of interest been felt in the result the.

present year, ''t It has been generally conceded that accordingly as Maine went a diminished; or. an. increased Republican majority the. or the success of the Republicans in the Presidential contest would fcleVshadoweil forth. When Vermont rolled "up her huge' majority two weeks ago, the supporters of SETMOttB said i is no wait till i you hear From Ve have) now lieard from Maine, and the news is such- as will cheer and encourage every Republican in the Country, The Soata Ameriean Erthquatei piiblisfli further detail of the; terrible earthquake cE the Pacific coast 'South Americaji which is one of the' most fearful calamities that ever occurred in the history of the A3 many or lives have been lost aV similar disasters, before, but we believe there is no record of, a similar disturbance extending over wide an' area' of ceuntry.

The Madison JJtnwcrat assures us that the 13th amendment; of the Constitution, which abolishes and prohibits' tlavery, was "voluntarily adopted," or ratified, by the state governments of Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, It further assures us 'thai the governments of those 'states' were, at tha time of thoi ratification, not state govern-ments, formed by of President but the state governments that existed Defore the war and before the pas gage of secession ordinances in those states. In these averments the Democrat simply controverts the facts of history. It might just as well go a step further and deny that there has been any rebellion or war in the South, or, that the.

Southern legislatures in 1860 and 1861; adopted what they termed ordinances of secession. The Southern Conventions or legislatures that ratified the thirteenth constitutional amendment were bodies elected bj authority of proclamation's by President-' In those proclamations thcPf esident regulated the whole subject sof The persons who voted for the delegates to the conventions that formed the stge govern-menis which ratified the thirteenth amendment voted not under the' authority of the constitution and laws existing there before the war but by permission of Anhrew Johnson. Large classes of -who were vbters under former fctate governments, were by Mr. JoH.s6?f's proclamations, excludecf from the right to participate in reconstructing State governments. Again, if the editor of the Democrat will examine the published official correspondence between Mr.

Jonxsos and leading men of the South; he will discover that the leading members of the conventions and legislatures that sowed their existence solely to his proclamations, protested against the 18th amendment, and that it was ratified by them only after they had been distinctly notified that such ratification was necessary to obtain their recognition by the President as State governments in proper relations with the Whether that ia a Voluntary ratification the reader can determine for As we understand the matter, it is only.
