Liebeneau, PLATFORM OF THE Ammnicay Democnacy—Adopted by the Workingmen’s Central Committee, August 17, 1855:— , Our city, State and Union has been brought toa able condition, the prosperity and peace of our country set in danger, and the prinetples of our hither- ‘to democratic republigay government almost lost sight of by elevating to office.corrypt and selfish charlatans, and by & set of fanatics and unprincipled men, uttering trea- sonable sentiments, and legislating against the most vital principles uy; wi our free institutions reat; and, whereas, we have ample reason to believe that the go- vernments of Europe have been tampering with the cor- rupt politicians of this country, to arouse the spirit of re} tgloun intolerance and nati gaeigathine t those who seek a home upon our shores, in order to prevent the emigration of their pi cen class, and check the owth of our nation, whose rapid accumulation of mem- rs, and the increasing sympathy manifested for our in- stitutions, bas made every monarch tremble upon throne; and, whereas, the time has passed away for tie toilworn work! en to be the mere tools of crafty i- ticians, jobbers of the laborer’s sweat and toi only beggars upon the outer steps of the temple of liberty ; and, wheres, the system of conducting the primary elec: tions of our city has become #0 corrupt as to preclude the possibility of securing the nomination of men who respect the rights of the working classes, or who feel an honest intercat in the prosperty of our city and country: We therefore adopt the followlng resolutions as the basis of our political action: — Resolved, That we stand to-day where all good and true citizens have ever stood, on the broad platform of the con stitution, the holy legacy. of our fathers, not knowing bet- ter rules of political action than are embraced within its provisions. Perfect in itself, it requires no implication or construction—the rights of the people are equally pro- tected, and in language which cannot be misunderstood. Resclved, That we pay strict obedience to the solemn injunction’ of Washington in his farewell address, by frowning indignantly on everything calculated to sever the Union, or weaken the bonds which hold the great family of the States togeth Resolved, That every one who makes our country his home, subreribes to the constitution, and conforms to the laws of the land, is in the fullest sense a true American; and the man who would abridge his fellow this right, on account of bis nativity or religious faith, connives at the defeat of our liberty, and interferes in a matter between man and his Fod. Resolved, That neither the federal government nor State have any right to alter, change or restrict the na- taralization law in such s manner as to hinder the ammi- \d_ intelligent foreigners. the Declaration of Independence states, as an impeach- ment of George III., that ‘he has endeavored to prevent the population of these States—for that purpose obstruct: ing the laws of naturalization of foreigners, refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and rais- ing the conditions of new appropriations of lands. solved, That the xystam of contracting public work iy one of the greatest evils against which free labor bas to contend ; is s burden to tax-payers, a sinecure and pas- ture for corrupt politicians and contractors; to grow fat on public plunder and the earnings of honest labor. It ia 9 public nuisance; a legislative awindle, under the false pretext of economy, robs in the most ascdignte manner our city, State, and national treasuries, and, neverthe- less, always furnishes inferior work, This fraudulent system ought to be abolished, and that of performing the work by"aay labor substituted in its stead. Resolved, That while the system of contracting public work continues; contractors should be compelled to pay mechanics and laborers the standard wages of their trade or calling Resolved, That the connection now existing between the present corrupt banking system and the State ought to be dissolved, a an unjust and anti-republican preroga- tive, whose power of mischief is greatly enhance’ by the State rece bank issues as money. Resolved, That the Probibitory Liquor Law passed by our last legislature is maliciously entrenching on our mal rights, seriously injuring the interests of a large ciass of our citizens, and grossly violating the con- stitution. Itis the first practical experiment to estab- lish a despotic and arbitrary power ; and whatever may be our views upon the subject of using spirituous !'ynors as a beverage, it behooves every good citizen, who values our liberty, to raise his voice ho the propagation of abstinence by the argument of force, Resolved, That ld gh oe of intemperance might be materially checked by the enactment of laws { Tequiring all dealers in lianar. nmte~ sears penaliien, % properly label the kind and quality of liquor sold by them. Resolved, That the evil of land monopoly should be checked from further development by the enactment of a jaw limiting tue quantity that may hereafter be acquired in this State. Resolved, That the State should enact laws making it criminal to defraud working people out of their just wages for labor performed. ‘esolved, That the existing charter of this city is a defective and pernicious instrument, and should be sub stituted by a new one, embracing, among other things, the following propositions:—1. That the people of this city should ma nage their own local affairs, free from in- terference of the Legislature. 2. That the Legislative and Executive departments be entirely separated. 3. The heads of departments constitute an Executive bureau. 4. That the system of contracting public work (that can be conveniently dene by the authorities) be abolished. 5. That » department of labor be instituted, whieh shall embrace the various trades necessary to perform work needed by the city, except such callings that furnish raw material, when if would be injudicious for the city to ite. 6, That all fee offices be changed to that of salaries, (to take effect at the expiration of the term of the incumbents at the of such amend- ment being adopted). 7. That the rate of salaries of pub- lic officers to range from $800 to $3,000 a year, a4 follows: heads of departments from $2,000 to $3,000; deputies from $1,000 to $1,500; policemen, clerks, and other sub- ordinates in the various departments of the city ernment, from $800 to” $1,200 per year. Mechanics and laborers employed by the city au- thorities to receive the standard wages paid by the trade or calling; but no laborer to receive less than $1 50 a day. 9. That all propositions to establish new ferries, build railroads in the streets and other extensive improve- ments by the corporate authorities, or to grant the Privilege to private individuals or compayies, the same shall teeeive the approbation of the people at the ensuing election; provided the same shall have been at Teast months before them for consideration. 10. ‘That the land belonging to, and located in the city, shall be improved by the erection of buildings thereon suitable business purposes, and rented (to occu- nt only) at a moderate percent on the cost of the same, order that this land may be productive of revenue and protect the tenantry ‘aginst the increase of already exorbitant rents, a | to feenes Practical success, we will ive all offices with men of undoubted integrit: and sobriety, of ability and nerve, to resist 2 upon right come when, where, or in what shape it may. Resolved, That our’ candidates for executive offices ehall be chosen for their known ability and moral rectitude, without reference to their political axso- ciation or bias, and our candidates for legislative of- fices be those possessing the above qualifications, and also subscribe to our [einsitice and will use all possible lawful means to realize them. Resolved, That we hold that every citizen of a republic is in duty bound to perform whatever service he may be called upon to discharge and upon this basis we have se- lected and will continue to select our candidates. Resolved, That, for these objects, vital alike to bu- manity and the republic, we are ready to unite with all men, under whatever name or organization, who will aid us in carrying into successful operation these great prin- ciples. Teecolved, That we will use every means in our power to brand ag traliors, and render unsuccessfal all futare ob- jects of those who prove recreant to the holy cause of freedom. IRA B.

I, however, send you the follow- ing translation of it. Regarding its authenticity, you have my most positive asaurance that copies from the original letters are in my bands, and I can safely aasert that the revolution has been completely victorious. In this port, since the publication of the news, we have had nothing but rejoicings and salutes. While writing, the whole city is illuminated, and the delighted and hap- Py people are shouting, “Long live liberty, Alvarez and Comonfort.’? Apnexed is the official announcement of the news re~ ceived here :— LONG LIVE LIBERTY AND THE REPUBLIC | TRIUMPH OF TUX REVOLUTION | Acarurco, Aug. 5, 1865—2 A. M. By an extraordivary express sent y nor Gen. ‘Lon Pintarco Gonzales, dated Tejupileo, July 26, to his Ex- cellency, General Alvarez, we have received the news of the pronunciamento of the capital of the de- pecliness of Puebla, together with the cities of Vera Cruz, lormerly known ae the three cities, and that Foluca has been abandoned by the forces of the usurper; General Gonzales taking possession of the same, with all his troops, on the 2th of July. The evacuation took place id, the object being to approach as near the al of the ration as Possible, to prevent the conser. ative party from proclaiming a’ President, when Santa Anna shall leave the government. His Exceliency, the General-in-Chief (Alvarez), has re. ceived another communication from the capital, of the urging him to march promptly towarda the city,” in order to organize his cabinet im- mediatuly, that he may be recognized and acknow! by all nations, by which the posstble evils of anarel may be avoided. To thia end all necessary moneys are placed at his disposition to facilitate his entrance into the capital. ‘The tame letter announces that there is @ strong oppo- sition existing between the American Minister and the Dictator, because that functionary, seeing the very criti- cal circumstances which surround tits miserable ad- ministration of the tyrant, has refused, in the name of the United States government, to deliver to Santa Anna the remaining three millions due on the sale of the Meveilla Valley. which, we positively know that his Excellency, the General-in-Chief, Alvarez, has solemnly protested ‘against the payment of this monoy to the tyrant. . The revolution may be considered terminated, it being reduced to a question of a few days, when a complete dispersion of this sanguinary, despotic and arbitary ad- ministration, which for the past two years by misfortune has reigned over the Mexican reople, ‘will be ended. ‘The aurora of better days is rising, and we hope the leaders of this glorious revolution, which restores to us our liberties and guarantees that bave been usurped by the administration of Santa Anna, will continue their work as the situation of the country requires, to en- tablish ina firm manner the prosperity and aggrandize- ment of all our citizens, Ons Mcommunicate fuil particulars of iss Powrscrart.—I will communicate full particulars of im- portance by the next steamer, AMERICUS.

General Montleans has this mcment arrived with on escort of fifty dragoohs from General Comonfort's head- quarters, with extraordinary despatch and news of a highly importont satura, the perticulars of which have not as yet transpired.

Should Alvarez communicate to me the particulars in time for this steamer, { will place them before you. If not, you shall receive them by the next boak, AMERICUS THE LATEST. TELEQRAPHIC FROM NEW ORLEANS. New Ontzans, August 26, 1855. The stenmer Orizaba has arrived here, with dates from Vera Cruz to the 224 inst. Santa Anna left the city of Mexico on the 9th inst., with an escort of 2,500 men, and signed his abdication at Perote. He embarked on the 17th at Vera Cruz for Havana. Two days after he left Mexico seven or eight hundred of his escort revolted, killing one or two of their officers ‘Vhey then joined the insurgents. The Alvarez platform haa been adopted. General Cavro is Provisional President of Mexico, and La Vega Commander-in-Chief of the army. All the State prison- ers had been liberated. A mob had gutted a large number of houses, including that of Santa Anna's mother-in-law ‘The appointment of Senor Vidal as minister to the United States (who comes a passenger in the Orizaba) is revoked. A fight @curred at Vera Cruz between two revolted battalions and @ regiment that continued faithfol to Senta Anns. The former were beaten, and left for the mountaips, Fifteen or twenty were killed before order estored. THE VERY LATEST. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF SANTA ANNA'S ABDICA- TION. New Onteans, August 25, 1855. Fuller advices from Mexico inform us that Santa Anna Jeft the capital on the pretence of proceeding in person to quell the revolution in Vera Cruz. On the 18th inst. the citizens of Mexico adopted the plan of Ayutla. During the excitement following Santa Anna’s desertion, the office of the Universe! newspaper, and upwards of forty other buildings, were demolished. ‘he military interfered, killing forty persons aad wound ing many more. Delegates met in the city of Mexico on the 10th inst., in conformity with # request of the Provisional government ond chore Carro President for six months. They also ordained the freedom of the press. The statue of Santa Anna was trampled upon by the populace. Our Hayti Correspondence. Avx Cavm, Harri, August 12, 1866. ‘This Empire or Island at the present time is ims very unsettled condition, and searcely was it worse when under its republican form of government, except that low is more punctually observed, and for life and pro- perty a better security afforded.

BAl Comedian. ‘The wideat publicity was given tothe above manifesta | Tt was read everywhore; from Maino'to Goosgia, descant- ed upon and criticised by the newspapers, talked sbout {n the green rooms, and earnestly discussed in: literary coteries. Everzbody who could writs knew, then, that Barney Williams would give five hundred dollvrs: for an effective play, adapted to the specially whick he lees taken up and made 40 profitable. The offer waa a fair one; perbaps, considering the work to bedone, tha best ever made inthis country, The result hae been the oxe- cution of twelve manuscript plays, Inclading fous come dies, each in five acts; three in three acts; two iw two acta, and two farces in ono net. Three gentlemen, two liferatcurs and ono acted and manager, were choven as the awful tribunal to decide the fates of the contestants—to award the laurel orown and to distribute the bank notes. They seclused themselves from society, and, with “one wild bound,” plunged into the sea of manuscript which was placed hefore them. ‘They rarely appeared among their fellow men during the terrible interval which occurred betweon tho-commence- ment and congjusion of this, the thirteenth labor of Hercules. They were like the Know Nothings men. tioned im Mgebeth, and never were “once seen to smile.” A!’ said Manager ©. to tho writer, “1 did try to laugh at one joke—the first in that five act comedy, and near the ead of it—bat I could: not, my fa- culties were not equal to the tank 1?’ These three patriots finally emerged to the-light of day, and in a short time were able to converse rationally with their friends. It is doubtful, however, whether they will ever again recover the gaiety they were wont to have. They decided that not one of the twolve plays was fit to be performed, and recommended that Mr. Wil- Hams should decline paying for them, on the ground of their uiter worthlesiness. We had the \ pleasure’ to examine them; and must, with all due deference to the authors, acknowledge that the decision is a just one. They generally, most extraordinary specimens ofliterature, dramatic and otherwise. Written to anit the speciality of Mr. snd Mrs. Barney Williams, not one of them contains Irish or Yankee dialogue (so called) properly written, and where refined English is attempted, the result is a melancholy failure. In one play the irishman and Yan- kee girl talk to cach other in a sort of mongrel blank verse; while, ia the last sceno of another, all the charae- ters take themselves off and leave a disciple of Young Africa to ‘tag’ the plece. The end of the whole affair will probably be that Mr. Williams will be obliged to order some pieces, ax he orders his trousers, from some of the dramatic tailors of the day. A little French cloth, with Irish trimmings, sewed with Yankee thread, will produce something to amuse an idle hour or two. It may be asked why was the prize business a failure? There are several reasons. In the first place, aswe hav said before, dramatio writing requires a great deal of prac tice, and.no small number of popular authors have failed in their @rst attempts. Seribe, the most wealthiest dramatist of the day, is case ia point. But he porse vered, because there was a reward for ultimate success. Such is not the case here. There is no protection for the author or the owner of the play, whereas in England and France there ia a special law on the subject. In these countries an author never loses his property In his Ply, He may eell it to one London 4j Furie manager, iying him the exclusive vignt {o play it ip the sity; yyt the mrorincal Canugers Must pay the author so much per ~~ Asan instance of this, when Mr. Forrest went to Fogland, he could tot play in the “ Lady of Lyo: or “Richelieu,” without Mr. Bulwer Lytton’s permission, and the permission being held at rather a high pri was not purehased. In fact there will be no dramatic authorship here until it pays better than other literary labor. Mlle Racin. bas been pretty well chronicled and bio graphed in all the papers—dlaily, weekly and Sunday The manager of her performances has earefully eschewed ai} the old humbugs, and the tragedienne has strictly ad hered to her original intention of ying the strict privacy of her home. ‘The Hxnatp of to-day contains the official announcement of the prices, which we have here- tofore given.
