A refcreneo to the platlorms yf tlio two great p.irties, whidi we keep staoding beforo tlie ejes of our reader, shows no great diversity of views ïn tlit! two. and yot tliere is tliia vast differen'óèj that while the Democratie platform tanda on the Contitution and the luw, recitiiiL the rcsolution of Conreas :is the doctrine of the war, the Republican plan i.s the military aboliiion schsine, wliieli is subversivo of Oonstitution and iavv, aml which is based wholly on the anctriae of absolute nionarehv as the result of a state of war. Tlia content is earried on nor witliweaponssuited to the two views.
