TIHAT PLATFORM, MR STARR'S EXPLANATION, o the Eititor of The Tribune, Pronma, May 20.—In your jssue of the 27th inst. you desizuate the Republican platform adopted by the Springficld Conventlon as “‘monstrous.” Belng one of the members of the Committee on Resolutjons, and knowing the views of a large number of the geutlemen composing that Committee, I desire to em- phatleally protest ugalnst what T know to be 1 wrong construction by you of its principles, The matters in the second resolution, refer- {ng ta the Southern States, were belleved to be warranted by the netion of those States sinco the almost universal amnesty granted to the Confederate leaders by the Republican party; thelr actlon In endeavoring to turn the South- ern Statcs oser to the Confedarate Democracy,— in driving out by the bullet thoso whom they could not coutrol by the ballot,—shonld be mct by some counter-declaration. equally strong, by the friende of the Unlon men of the Soath; and certalnly this resolution 1s none too etrong for that purpore.
