ABOLITION PLATFORM FpR 4
ADOPTED 11 1 1 THE OINCACKI CON
VENTION; RAY i 1• •
Reaplved, That we, the delegeted repre
sentatives of the Republican, Electors of the
United States, in 'Convention assembled, in
the discharge bf the duty We owe 'to qur
constituents' and oar country - ,..unite in tbq
following declarations
Nit, Thai the llistory of the 'nation, du
rink the last fouryears, has fully established
the pyßriely and necessity of the organisa
tion and pmpetnation. the Republican
Party, and . ow umis causes which called it
into existence are' permanent In theirna
ture, aid 'now, more than aver before, de
ment lta pea c eful and Constitutional tri
uzn •
Second, That the msintenanoe of the privt
' Ple!-PoPuigaied in the-Deolavaikinona- ;
dependence, and embodied in the Federal'
Constitution, is essential to the preservation
of our r . epublican.hustitlit ions ; that the Fed
eral Contitu‘lon, the rights of 'the States,
'and the Union of the States, must and shall
be preserved t and that we reassert "these
truths to 'be self-evident, that all men' are
sweated equal ; Wit they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable rights;
that among these are life, liberty, and the
PUrsuiliflapPiness. - That to secure' these
rights, governments are instituted among
men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of .the governed."
Tiird, -That to the Union of the States
in population; its surprising development
of material resources; its rapid augmenta
tion of wealth ; its happiness- at home and
its honor abroed;• and we • hold in abhbr
;vette all eehemes for disunion, come from
whatever source they may; and we cep
gratulate..the country that no Republican
melba et_Congress _ ettifir4tirifeitti
tenaneed a threat of disunion, ;molten inside
by Democratic members of Congresetwlthout
rebuke, and with applause frpm their polit
ical associates; and we denounce theme
threats of disunion, in ease of a popular
overthrow of their ascendency, se-deifying
the vital principles- of-a free Government,
and as an avowal of contemplated treason,
which it is the imperative duty of an indig
nant people strongly to rebuke and forever
silent°.
Fourth, That the maintenance inviolate of
the rights or tht States, end especially the
right of - each State to order and control its I
own deemed° institutions according to its
own judgment reclusively, is essential to
that baianoa of' power on which the perfec
tion and endurance of ottr political faith de
pends; and we denounce
.ion, by armed,force, of any , State or
Territory, no matter under Whit pretext, an
among the gravest of °Hetes.
t- ills
_present Democratio Ad- _
ii has far exceeded our worst
apprehensions in its measureless subservi
ency to the exactions of a sectional interest,
as is especially evident in its desperate ex
ertions to force the infamous Lecompton
Constitution upon the protesting people of
Ransas—in construing the personal relation
between master and servant to involve an
unqualified property In person&—in its at
tempted enfon.ement everywhere, on land
and sea, through the intervention of Con
gress and the Federal Courts, of the extreme
pretensions of a purely local interest, and
in its general and unvarying abuse of the
power intrtsted to it by a confiding people.
iffs'a, That the people justly view with
alarm the recklcits extravagance whieh per-
ernment ; that a return to rigid economy
and speountability is indispensable to arrest
the system of plunder of the publio treasury
by favored partisans ; while the recent
startling developments of fraud and °terrop•
tipn at the Federal metropolis show that an
entire change of administration is impera
tively demanded.
• Seventh. That the new dogma, that the
Constitution, of its own force, carries sla
very into sneer all the Territorties of the,
United States, 4 a dangerous political her
esy, at varlhrice with the explicit provisions
of that instrumint itself . , with cotemporane
ous exposition, and with legislative and ju
dicial precedent, is revolutionary in its ten
dency and subversive of the peace and
harmon‘y of the country, '
,Tnyiith,..Thatlhe normal condition of all
thiterritory of the 'United Slates is that of
freedom; that as our republican fathers,
.when they had abolished slavery' in all our
national territory, ordained that no person
shduld be deprival of life, liberty, or prop
erty, without due process of law, it honorees
our duty, by legislation, 'whenexer such
legislation is necessary, to maintain this
provisiomof the Constitution against all at
tempts to violate it: and we deny the au
thority of Congress, of a Territorial legisla
ture, or of any indiisduals, to give legal
existence to slavery In any Territory of the
United States.
Nina, That we brand the recent opening
of the African slave-tryle, under the cover
of our national flag, ai ded by perversions of
judicial power, as s crime against humanity,
a burning shame to our oountry and age ; ,
and we call upon Congress to take prompt
and efficient measures for the total and Anal
suppression of that execrable traffic.
• TentA, That in their recent vetoes, by
their Federal Governors, of the acts of the
Legislatures of Kansas and Nebraera7 pro
hibiting slavery in thou territories, we And
a practical illustration of the boasted Dem
ccratio principle of non-intervention and
• • akar sovereignty, embodied in the Kan
sas and Nebraska bill, and a demonstration.
of the deception and fraud involved therein.
Biensule, That. Kansas should, of k
, righ
be immediately admitted as a State, under
the constitution recently formed and adopted
bj her people, and accepted by the House
of Representatives. •
Ts4flh, That while providing revenue
for the support of the General -Government
by duty upon'imitorta, sound policy requirtia
snob austment of these imports as to
encourage the development of the industrial
intetettser•ipoonntryz, and. we
