Democratic Platform In foil-
Wc give at length the “Platform" adopted
by the Cincinnati Convention. The resolutions
of the Baltimore Convention, Which are re-af
firmed, are as follows:
Rewived. That the American Democracy place
their trust in the intelligence, the patriotism
and the discriminating justice of the American
Resolved, That we regard this as a distinctive
feature of our creed which we are proud to
maintain before the world as a great moral ele
ment in a form of government springing from
and upheld by a popular will, and we contrast
it with the creed and practice of Federalism,
under whatever name or form, which seeks to
palsy the vote of the constituent, and which
■conceives no imposture too monstrous lor the
popular credulity. . .
Resolved, therefore, That entertaining these
views, the Democratic party ot the union,
through their delegates assembled in a geneial
'Convention of the States, convening together in
a spirit of concord, of devotion to the doctrines
and faith of a free representative government,
and appealing to their fellow citizens for the
rectitude of their intentions, renew and reassert
before the American people the declarations of
principles avowed by them, when, on former
occasions, in geueral convention, they present
ed their cand dates for popular suffrages.
j That the federal government is one of lim
ited powers, derived solely from the constitu
tion, and the grants of power made therein
ought to be strictly construed by all the depart
ments and agents of the government; and it is
'inexpedient and dangerous to exercise doubtful
constitutional powers.
2. That the Constitution doesnot confer upon
the general government the power to commence
: and carry out a general system of internal im
provements.
3. That the Constitution does not confer au
thority upon the federal government, directly,
or iud.reetly, to assume the debts of the several
States, contract, d for local internal improve
ments, or other State purposes; nor would sueh
assumption Vie just or expedient.
4. That justice and sound policy forbid the
Federal Government to foster one branch of in
dustry to the detriment of any other, or toclier
ish the interests of one portion to the injury of
another portion of our common country; that
every citizen anil every section ot the country
, has a right to demand and insist upon an equal
ity of rights and privileges, and a complete and
: ample protection of persons anil property from
edomestie violence and foreign aggression.
5. That it is the duty of every branch of the
lGovernment to enforce and practice the most
rigid economy in conducting our pubi c affairs,
. and that no more revenue ought to In: raised
than is required to defray the necessary expen
ses of the government, and tor gradual hut cer
tain extinction of the public debt.
0. That Congress has no power to charter a
National bank; that we believe such an institu
tion one of deadly hostility to the best interests
of our country, dangerous to our republican Su
bstitutions and the liberties of the people, a.id
* calculated to place the business of the country
w within the control of a concentrated money
power, and above the laws and will ot the peo
ple; ami that the results of Democratic legisla
tion in this and all other financial measures
upon which issues have been made between the
two great political parties of the country, have
demonstrated to practical men of all business
pursuits.
7. That the separation of the moneys of the
Government from all banking institutions is in
dispensable for the safety ol the funds of the
Government and the rights of the people.
8. That the liberal princ.ples < uiuoditd by
Jetter.-on in the Declaration of Independence,
nail sanctioned in the Constitution, winch makes
oitfs the laud of liberty, and the assylum of the
oppressed of every nai.on, have ever been cur
, dtual price.pies in the Democratic faith, and ev
ery attempt to abridge the privilege of becom
ing citizens and owners of soil among us ought
to be resisted with the same sp.nt which sw. pt
(he alien and sedition laws from our statute
book.
9. That Congress has no power under the
CoiKitution to interefcre with or control the
dermatic institutions of the several States, and
that all such States are the sole and proper jud
ges )f everything appertaining to their own af
fairs not prohibited by the coustitut.on; that all
effects of the abolit onists and others made to
ioluce Congress <o interfere with questions ot
shury, or to take inc.pient steps in relation
th'reto, are calculated to lead to the mostalarm
ingand dangerous consequences, and that all
sucl efforts have an inevitable tendency to ili
ininsh the happiness of the people and endan
ger the stability and permanency of the Union,
and ought not to be countenanced by any friends
iof jur political institutions.
i i.ieudved, That the foregoing proposition cov
..c rt and was intended to embrace the while sul>-
jeC. of slavery agitation in Congress, aid there
lot' the Democratic party of the Uuioi, stand
ing on this national platform, will ubidi by and
*<Uere to a faithful execution of the act known
as he compromise measures settled ly Con
«rtsii. the act for reclaiming fugitives fioin ser
vin'or labor included; which act being design
ed (a carry out an express provision of tie Con
stitution, cannot, with fidelity thereto be re
pelled, or so changed as to destroy or inpair its
eflbieucy. .
Resolved, That the Democratic party Till re
sist all attempts at renewing in (Jougiess, or
out. of it, the agitation of the slavery qiestion,
unlcr whatever shape or color the attempt may
be made.
Resolved, That the proceeds of the pubic lands
.oujht to be sacredly applied to the natioinl ob
jects specified in the constitution, and tiat wc
opposed to any law for the distribution of
tlu proceeds among the States, as alike iiexpe
,flieit in pol.cy and repugnant to the constitu
tion.
:ie'oh(d, That we are decidedly opptsed to
itaiiug from the President the qualified Veto
pover, by which he is enabled, under nstr.c
tuns and re ponsib lities amply sutticitnt to
garni the public interests, to suspend the pas
sage of a bill whose merits cannot s cure the
apiroval of two-tlnrds of the Senate and House
ofRepreseutatives, until the judgment or the
py.iple can lie obtained thereon, and wh.ch has
sit'd the Americau people from the corrupt
ail tyrannical dominion/)!’ the Bank of tb: Uni
ty! States, and from g, corrupting system o' geu
,e<»l internal improvements.
Resolved. That the Democratic party will faith
fully abide by and uphold the principles laid
dfwn in the Kentucky and resolution
iof 1792 and 179S, and in the report of Mr. Mad
ison to the Virginia Legislature in 1799—that
it adopts those principles as constituting one of
the mam foundations of its pol.tical creed, and
js resolved to earry them out iu their obvious
-meaning and import.
That iu view of the condition of the popular
institutions in the old world, a high and sacred j
( duty is devolved with increased responsibility J
upon the Democracy of tins couutry, as the par
ty of the people, to uphold and maintain the j
rights of every State and thereby the union of I
the States—and to sustain a id advance among
them constitutional liberty, by continuing to re
sist all monopolies and exclusive legislation tor
the benefit of the few, at the expense ot the ma
ny, and by a vigilant and constant adhereuoe
to those priac'plas and compromises ol the co 1-
ititutlon —wh cb nitre broad enough and strong
enough to embrace and uphold the Union as it
I should be—in the full ixpausion of the energies
and capacity of this gieut and progressive p 'O-
J The following are the supplementary resolu
tions in relation to ths KansW-Nebra-ka ques
tion, and the foreign polcy of the government.
Mu, Since ti e fore?oing declaration
y adopted by orf predecessors in
yentioir an adverse political a id
tola, secret y organ's. <1 by a
iqtA be pMtyjively Americans,
erthat ttn African Democracy
r defy* there
i . nat *»f thl " rn;r,;l of
States having been laid in its prosperity, expan
sion and pre-eminent example in free govern
ment, built upon entire matters of religious
concern, and no respect of persons in regard to
rank or place of birth, no party can justly be
deemed national, constitutional or in accord
ance with American principles which bases its
exclusive organization upon religious opinions
and accidental birth place.
That we reiterate with renewed energy of pur
pose the well considered declarations of former
conventions upon the sectional issues of doraes
tie. slavery and concerning the reserved rights
! of the States; and that we may more distinctly
meet the issue on which a sectional party, sub
| sisting exclusively upon slavery agitation, now
| relies to test the fidelity of the people, North
and South, to the Constitution and the Union.
Resolved, That claiming fellowship with and
desiring the co-operation of all who regard the
preservation of the Union under the Constitu
tion as the paramount issue, aud repudiating all
sectional parties and platforms concerning do
mestic slavery, which seek to embroil the States
and incite to treason and armed resistance to
law iu the territories, and whose avoved pur
pose, if consummated, must end in civil war
and disunion, the American Democracy recog
nize and adopt the principles contained in the
organic laws establishing the territories of Ne
braska and Kansas, as embodying the only sound
and safe solution of the slavery question upon
which the great national idea of the people of
this whole country can repose in its determined
conservatism of the Union and non interference
by Congress with slavery in the States and ter
ritories; that this was the basis of the Compro
mises of 1850, confirmed by both the Democrat
ic and Whig parties in national conventions,
ratified by the people in the election of 1852,
and rightly apple d to the organization of terri
tories, a,id the admission of new States with or
w ithout domestic slavery, as they may elect,
the equal rights of the States will be preserved
intact, the original compacts of the Constitu
tion maintained inviolate, and the perpetuation
and expansion of the Union insured to its ut
most capacity of embracing, in peace and har
mony, every true American State that may be
constituted or annexed with a republican form
of government.
7i 'evolved, That we recognize the right of the
people of all the territories, including Kansas
and Nebraska, acting through the fairly express
ed will of the majority of actual residents and
whenever the number of their inhabitants justi
fies it, to form a constitution, with or without
domestic slavery, and be admitted into the Un
ion upon terms of perfect equality with the oth
er States.
TUB FOREIGN POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Re*olvcd, finally, That by the cond t on of the
popular institutions of the old world, aud the
dangerous tendency of sectional agitation, com
bined with an attempt to enforce civil and reli
gious disabilities against the right of acquiring
citizenship in our land, the high and sacivd duty
has devolved with increased responsibility upon
the Democratic parly of this country, as the par
ty of tliii Union, to tt/jliMund maintain the right of
every State, and thereby the Union of the Staten, and
to sustain and advance among us constitutional
liberty by continuing to resist all monopolies
and exclusive legislation for the benefit of a few
at the expense of the many; and by a vigilant
adherence to these principles and the pompro
mises of the constitution, which are broad and
strong enough to embrace and uphold the Un
ion as it was, the Union as it is, a.,d the Un.ou
as it shall be iu the full expaus.on of the ener
gies and capacities of this great and progressive
people.
1. Revolved, That the questions connected
with the foreign pol.cy of the country are infe
rior to no domestic question what., ter. The
t.mc has come for the people of the United
tjiates to d.elare themselves in lavor of free
seas, and progressive free trade troughout the
world, a.nl, by solemn manifestations, to place
their moral influence by the side of their suc
cessful example.
2. Resolved, That our geographical and politi
cal posit on with reference to the otuer States
of tins continent, no less than 111 • interest of
our commerce and the development of our
growing power, requires that we hold to the sa
crcd principles involved in the Monroe doc
trine. Their bearing and import admit of no
misconstruction, aud should be uppl.ed with un
bending rigidity.
3. Resolved, 'that the great highway which
nature as well as the assent of the States most
immediately interested in its maintenance, lias
marked out for free communication between
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, constitutes one
of the most important achievements to be real
ized by the spirit of moderation, iu the uncoii
queraole energy of our peojde; and that result
should be secured by a timely and efficient ex
ertion of the control which we have a right to
claim over it, and no power on earth should be
suffered to impede or clog its progress by any
interference with relations that it may suit our
policy to establish with the governments of the
States within whose dominions it lies; and we
can, under no circumstances, surrender our pre
ponderance in the adjustment of all questions
arising out of it.
4. Revolved, That iu view of so commanding
an interest, the people of the United States can
not but sympathize with the elforts which are
being made by the people of Central America
to regenerate that portion of the continent
which covers the passage across the oceanic
Isthmus.
5. Resolved, That the Democratic party will
expect from the next administration every pro
per eifort to be made to insure our ascendency
in the Gulf of Mexico, aud to maintain iienna
neut protection of the great outlets through
wdiicli are emptied into its waters the products
raised on the soil and the commodities created
by the industry of the people of our Western
vallies and the Union at large.
PACIFIC RAILROAD RESOLUTION.

the great importance, in a polit.cai and com
mercial point of view, of a safe and speedy
communication’through our own terr.tory be
tween tile Atlantic and Pac.fic coasts oi this

Government to exercise promptly, all its consti

A Gem. — The following brief note was sent
by telegraph, by the Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson
of New York, in reply to an iuvitat.on to attend
a meeting for the purpose of rat.tying the (Jiu
ciunati nominations. It is certainly a g in n
its way, aud embodies, as one of our eoUiupo
raries remarks, more than many a two-hour
speech delivered on the same subject:
BtxuHAMrox, (N. Y.) June 10, 185b. —Invita-

needs—what it is destined to enjoy—and what
will restore it t* its true position at home aud
abroad—over lakd and sea.
DANIEL S. DICKINSON.
Hon. J. W. hjavcr, iCpivs -ntative from
California, has our fcanks for valuable pub lr
Political Items. —We And our Eastern ex
changes full of interesting items in relation to
the Presidential contest A selection from them
will be found below:
The Concord (N. H.) “Patriot” says that Gov.
Coiby on his return from the New York and
Philadelphia Conventions declared publicly in
that city that the nomination of Fremont has
“ensured the election of Luchanan.” He voted
for Fremont.
In Virginia, eight of thirteen Know Nothing
electors appointed have declined, and declare
that they shall go the Democratic nominations.
Judge Davis, of Macon, Ga., elected last Oc
tober on the Know Nothing ticket as a Repre
sentative in the Legislature, from Bibb county,
has come out for Buchanan and Breckinridge.
In the Georgia “Constitutionalist” a mechan
ic offers a reward of $50, for proof that Mr.
Buchanan ever uttered the speech that “he con
sidered ten cents a day was enough for a labor
ing man.” The editor otters $50 more.
The “Sentinel,” an old Whig paper of Henry
county, Teun., the editor of which says he wasa
Clay Whig for twenty years, has coiuc out tor
the National Democratic nominees.
Robert C. Walker, late a Whig member of
tue Legislature, from Alleghany county, Pa.,
has taken the stump for Buchanan.
Michael Dan Maghan, heretofore known as
one of the most conspicuous old line Whigs in
Pennsylvania, and an able speaker, also goes
for Buchanan.
There was a large meeting of old line Whigs
held at Erie, l’a., recently. They resolved for
the first time in their lives, to support the De
mocratic nominees for President and Vice Pre
sident.
Some eight hundred of the neighbors of Mr.
Buchanan, old line Whigs, called on him the
day he was nominated and pledged him their
support.
Cori’EK, Silver and Gold Mine.—Informa
tion has reached as from two or three different
sources, that a company of gentlemen are about
commencing the construction of furnaces about
twelve'miles beyond Silver Lake, and near the
summit of the mountains, for the purpose of
smelting ore that exists there in great abun
dance. Some specimens assayed in San Fran
cisco, we understand, produced 10 per cent, of
copper, 15 per cent, of silver, and 8 or 10 per
cent, of gold. Thus it will be seen that this
mine b'ds fair to rival if not surpass in richness
all others in the known world. The work of
preparing to smelt the ore 'will be vigorously
prosecute d, and before a great while the actual
result will be made known. There is a vast
mountain of the ore, and it is taken out- without
the least d.tticulty. We have had exhibited to
us a specimen weighing one or two pounds.
Col. Win. ltogi rs, formerly of El Dorado, one
of the parties interested, d.scovered this mine
two or three years ago, at which time we pub
lished, in a paper in that county, some account
of it; but until the present per.od nothing defi
nite and authentic has been made publ.c con
cerning it.— Volcano Mger.
Mu. Bixtianan. —The Shasta Republican (K.
N.) thus speaks of the nominees of the Cincin
nati Convention:
By the last steamer we learn that the Demo
cratic National Convention has nominattd for
Pivs d 'iit, Jam s Buchanan, of Pennsylvania,
and for Vice President, J. C. Brcekeni idge, of
Kentucky. The Convention deserves the com
mendation of the country for having made the
best nominations which the democratic party
affords.
