It was adopted on the third day of the Convention, and the nomination of Mr. Buchanan was not made until the fifth. Every plank adopted by the Convention is in the Platform—not one is omitted—and when the Black Republican press, or orators, pub lish or read any other resolutions as belong ing to the Platform, you may bet all you are worth-they are lying. THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. _Adopted at Eke Cincinnati NW ional Convention, Bemired, That the American Democracy place their trust in the intelligence; the patri otism, and the discriminating justice of the _American people. Bemired, That we regard this as a distine tivc feature of our political creed. which we are proud to maintain before the world, as the great moral clement in a form of govern mentspringing from and held up by the pon lila:. will and we contrast it with the cr4rl - practice of Federalism, .under whatever mime or form, which seeks to palsy the will of the constituents, and which conceives n o imposture too monstrous for•theppolar cre dulity: Remir?q, there fors, That entertaining those views, the Deu - meratie, party of the union, through their delegates assembled in a gener al Conve,ntion, corning together in a spirit Of concord, of devOtion to the doctrines and faith of .t free representative government, and - app - laling t, their fellow citizens for the rec titude of their intentions, renew and re-assert },,chore the American people the declaration of principles avowed by them \Olen on former occasions,.in general .

That the liberal principles embodied by Jefrerson in the Declaration of Indepen•lence, and z'anetioned- in the Constitution, which makes ours the laud of liberty and the asylum of the oppressed of every nation, have ever Lech cardinal principles. in the Democratic faith, and ever , y attempt to abridge the priv ilege,. ,if becoming citizens and the owners of Foil among us, ought to be resistel - witirtire Fame spirit which swept the alien and sedition laws from our statute books.

That Congress has no power under the I Constitution, to interfere with or ciiiti.iit'the ' 1 domestic institutions of the several States, and i that such States rare the_ sole and proper ljtidges of everything appertaining to their ow a affairs not prohibited liy.the_constitutiont_ that all efforts of the abolitionists or others, made to induce Congress to interfere with questions of shivery,, or to take incipieut steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequen ces ; and that all such efforts have an inevita ble tendency to diminish. the happiness of the people, _and endanger the stability and perma nency of the Union, arid ought not to be coun tenanced by any friend% of our political insti tutions. , '2. That the foregoing proposition covers, and was intended , to embrace the whole sub ject of slavery _agitation in Congress : and therefore; the Democratic party of the Union, standing on this national 'platform, will abide by and adhere to a faithful execution of the acts known as the Compromise Measures, set tled by the Congress of I.SM; "the act fir re claiming fugitives from service or labor;" in eluded : "which act being lle-AlgUell to carry out an express provision of the Constitution, can not, with fidelity 'thereto, be repealed, or so changedns to destroy or impair its efficieney. 3. That the Democratic party will resist all attempts at renewing, in Congress or ont'of ' it, the agitation of the slavery question, under whatever shape or color the attempt may be ' made, 4. That the Democratic party will faithful ly abide by and uphold the principles laid 1 -dowm in:the Kentucky and Virginia resolu tions of I7K and in the report of Mr. Madi son to the Virginia Legislature, in 1799 , that it adopts those principles as constituting one of the main foundations of its -political creed. and is resolved to carry them out in their ob . vitals meaning and import. And that we may inure distinctly meet the, issue on which a sectional party, sub , isting exclusively on slavery agitation,-now relies to test the fidelity of the people, North and South, to the c ornititution and the Union : 1. Rego' red, That claiming fellowship with, and desiring the co-operation of all who re gard the preservation of the. Union under the Constitution as the paramount issue—and re pudiating all sectional parties and platforms concerning domestic slavery, which seeks to embroil the States and Territories and whose avowed purposes, if consummated, must end in civil warnud disuniou —the American Dein- ocrary recognize and adopt the prinTl 7 :: pies contained in the orgauic law establishing the 'Territories of Kansas and Nebraska as embodying the only sound and safe solution of', flak "slavery question," upon which the great national. idea of the peol•le of this country can repose in its determined censercatisin of the Union--:-NoN-INTERFERENcE i:r CONGRESS WITH SLAVERY IN S'ryrE AND TERRITORY, OF.

That by the uniform application of this Democratic principle to the organization of Territories, and to the mlinission of new States with or without domestie slavery as they may . elect—the epual right of all the States will be preserved intact—the original compact of the Constitution maintained inviolate, and the perpetuity and expansion of this Union insur ed to its utmost capacity of embracing, iu - rave and harmony, every future American State that may be constituted or aunexed, with a republican form of govermuent. fee. v) i re d, Th a t we recognize the -right of the people of all the Territories, including KansaA and NehrasLa, actin4 through the le g.tlly and fairly expressed.will t , f a niajoritv of act dal rk!ide uts, and whenever the number ,f their inhabitants justifies it, to firma a Con stitution, with or without domestic slavery, and adaritted into the Union upon terms of per fect equality with the other States. Re•vilred, finally, That in view of the con dition of popular institutions in the Old World, (and the dangerous tendencies of ag itatiOn, combined with the attempt to enforee civil and religious disabilities against the right ofacquiring and eujoying citizenship in our own laud,) a high and sacred duty is de velved with increased respousibility upon the Democratic party of this country, the party of the Union, to uphold and maintain the right of every State, aml hereby the Union of• the States ; and,to sustain and advance among us constitutional liberty, by'continuing to re sist all mouopulies and exclusive legislation for the benefit of the few; at the expense of the many, and by a vigilant and constant ad herence to those principles and compromises of the constitution which arc hread enough anj - Ftrong enough to embrace and uphold the Union as it was, the Union as it is, and the Unien as it shall be, in the hill expansion of the energies and capacities of this great and progressive people. 1. .11e,10/ve;(, That there are questions con nected with the foreign pelier ef_this equntry -Which are inferior to no domestic question-what ever. The time has come fur the people of the United Status to declare themselves in fa vor of free seat s and progressive free trade throughout the world, anti by solemn manifes- ' tations to pine(' their moral induence at the side of their successful example. 2. Re.vole.rd, That our geographical ;Ind po litienl flee with-r_eference--to_ether_Stauts_ of this continent, no less than the interest of our commerce and the developeinent of our growing power requires tint we sheuld hold as stirred the principles involved in the Mon roe doctrine ; their bearing and admit of no miseenstruetion—they should be,applied with unbending, rigidity. • 3. Resared, That the great bighwlt'y which nature, as well as the assentTof the States most immediately interested in the mainte nance, has marked out for a free oominunioa tion between the Atlantic and Pacific Oecans. constitutes one of the most important achieve ments realized by the spirit of inedern times and the unconquerable energy of ;air people. That result should be secured by a timely and efficient exertion of the centre' which we have the right io_cllin3 Oro'• it tot earth should be suffered to impede or clog its progress by any interference with the rela tions it may suit our policy to establish be tween our government and the governments of States within whose dominions it lies.
