' REPUBLICAN NATIONAL PLATFORM.
Resolved, That we, the delegated representa
tives of the Republican electors of the United
States in Conversion assembled, in the discharge
of the duty we owe to our constituents and our
country, unite in the following declarations :
1st That the history of the nation during the
last four years has established the propriety and
necessity of the organization and perpetuity of the
Republican party, and that the causes which called
it into existenca are permanent in their nature,
and now more than ever before, demand its peace
ful and constitutional triumph.
2d Thar the maintainance of the Federal Con
stitution is essential to the preservation of our
republican institutions, and shall be preserved.
3d That to the Union of the States this nation
owes its unprecedented increase in population, its
surprising development of material resources, its
rapid augmentation of wealth, its happiness at
borne and its honor abroad ; and we hold in abhor
rence all schemes for disunion, come from what
ever source they may. And we congratulate ihe
country that no Republican member of Congress
has uttered or countenanced a threat of disunion
so often made by Democratic members of Congress
without rebuke, and with applause from their po
litical associates. And we denounce those threats
ot disunion in case of a popular overthrow of their
ascendancy, as denying the vital principles of a
free government, and as an avowal of contempla
ted treason, which it is the imperative duty of an
indignant people strongly to rebuke and forever
silence.
4th That the maintainance inviolate of the
rights of the States, and especially the rights of
each State to order and control its own domestic
institutions according to its own judgment exclu
sively, is essential to that balance of power on
which the perfection and endurance ot her politi
cal faith depends. And we denounce the lawless
invasion by an armed force, of any State or Terri
tory no matter under what pretext, as among the
gravest of crimes.
5th That the present Democratic Administra
tion has so far exceeded our worst apprehensions
in its measureles subserviency to the exactions of
a sectional interest, as is especially evident in its
desperate exertions to force the infamous Lecomp
ton constitution upon the protesting people of
Kansas in construing the personal relation be
tween master and servant to involve an unquali
fied property in persons in its attempts at the en
forcement, everywhere on land and sea, through
the intervention of Congress and the Federal
Courts ot the extrene pretensions of a purely local
interest, and its general and unvarying abuse of
the power entrusted to it by a confiding people.
6th That the people justly view with alarm the
reckless extravagance which pievades every de-.
partment of the federal, government. That a re
turn to rigid economy and accountability is indis
pensable to arrest the system of plunder of the
public treasury by favored partisans ; while the
present startling developments of fraud and cor
ruption at the Federal metropolis show that an
entire change of administration is imperatively
demanded.
7th That the new dogma that the Constitution,
f its own force, carries slavery into any or all of
the territories of the United States, is a dangerous
political heresy, at variance with the explicit pro
visions of that instrument itself, wi'h its extempo
raneous exposition, and with legislative and ju
dicial precedent, is revolutionary in its tendencies
and subversive of the peace and harmony of the
country.
8th That the normal condition of all the terri-
The Democratic Party has two Platforms, as well
as two setts of candidates. The platfoptii of the Breckinridge wing enunciates thb idea that
Slavery exists, by virtue of the Constitution, in the Territories, and that it is the duty of Congress
to pass a Code for its protection in those Territories. The last resolution or the Douglas plat
form, taken in connection with tire Dred Scott Decision, places that wing in almost the same
position. The only difference seems to be in
question has already been decided, whilst the
the Supreme Court does so decide that it is
and the dutv of the Government to enforce it,
Both plattorms, with the Dred Scott decision,
and decide the matter for himself.
THE SECTIONAL PLATFORMS.
SOUTHERN PLATFORM.
For President Johx C. Breckinridge, of Ky.
For Vice President Joseph Lane, of Oregon.
T11E1R PLATFORM.
Resolved, That the platform adopted at Cincin
nati be affirmed, with the following resolutions :
That the Democracy of the United States hold
these cardinal principles on the subject of Slavery
in the Territories: First, that Congress has no
power to abolish Slavery in the Territories ; sec
ond, that the Territorial legislature has no power
to abolish Slavery in any Territory, nor to prohib
it the introduction of slaves therein, nor any pow
er to exclude slavery therefrom, nor any power to
destroy or impair the right of property in slaves
by any legislation whatever.
Resolved, That the enactments of State Legisla
tures to defeat the faithful execution of the Fugi
tive Slave Law are hostile in character, subversive
of the Constitution, and revolutionary in their
Sect.
Resolved, That it is the duty of the Federal
Government, in all its departments, to protect,
when necessary, the rights of persons and proper
ty on the high seas, in the Territories, or wherev
er else its constitutional authority extends.
Resolved, That the Democracy of the nation rec
ognize it as the imperative duty of this Govern
ment to protect the naturalized citizen in all his
rights, whether at home or in foreign lands, to the
same extent as its native-born citizens.
Resolved, That the National Democracy earnest
ly recommend the acquisition of the Island of
Cuba at the earliest practicable period.
Whereas, That one of the greatest necessities
of the age, in apolitical, commercial, postal and
military point of view, is a speedy communication
between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts; therefore
be it
Resolved, That the National Democratic party
do hereby pledge themselves to use every means
in their power to securo the passage of some bill
for the construction of a Pacific Railroad, from
the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean, at the
earliest practicable moment.
NORTHERN PLATFORM.
For President St ephex A. Douglas, of 111.
Vice President Herschel V. Joh.nsoj, of Ga.
THEIR PLATFORM.
Resolved, Th&t we, the Democracy of the Union.
In Convention assembled, hereby declare our af
firmation of the resolutions unanimously adopted
and declared as a platform of principles by the
Democratic Convention at Cincinnati in the year
1856, believing that Democratic principles are un
changeable in their nature when applied to the
same subject matter, and we recommend as our
only further resolutions the following :
That inasmuch as differences of opinion exist in
the Democratic party as to the nature and extent
of the powers of a Territorial Legislature, and as
to the powers and dnties of Congress, under the
Constitution of the United States, over the institu
tion of Slavery within the Territories:
Resolved, That the Democratic party will abide
f the decision of the Supreme Court of the United
tales over the institution of Slavery tcitkin the
Territories.
Resolved, That it is the duty of the United
States to afford ample and complete protection to all
itscitizens, at om or abroad, and whether native
or foreign born.
Resolved, That one of the necessities of the age,

nrv of the United States, is that of freedom.
That as our republican fathers, when they had
abolished slavery in all our national territory or
dained that no person should be deprived of life,
liberty and property, without due process of law
it becomes our duty, by legislation, whenever
such legislation isuecessary, to maintain this pro
vision of the Constitution against all attempts to
violate it; and we deny the authority of Congress,
of a territorial legislature, or of any individuals,
to give legal exis:ence to slavery in any territory
of the United States.
9th That we brand the recent re-opening of
the African slave trade, under the cover of our
national flag, aided by preversions of judicial
power, as a crime against humanity, a burning
shame to our country and age ; and we call upon
Congress to take prompt and efficient measures
for the total and final suppression of that exe
crable traffic ...
10th That in the recent vetoes, by their gov
ernors, of the acts of the legislatures of Kansas
and Nebraska, prohibiting slavery in those terri
tories, we find a practical illustration of the boast
ed democratic principle of non-intervention and
popular sovereignty in the Kansas and Nebraska
bill, and a denunciation of the deception and
fraud involved thereia.
1th That Kansas should, of right, be immedi
ately admitted as a State under the Constitution
recently formed and adopted by her people, and
accepted by the House of Representatives.
12th That while providing revenue for the sup
port of the general government by duties upon im
ports, a sound policy requires such an adjustment
of these imposts as to encourage the development
of the industrial interests of the whole country,
and we commend that policy of national exchan
ges which secures to the working men liberal wa
ges, agriculture renumerating prices, to mechanics
and manufacturers an adequate reward for their
skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation com
mercial prosperity and independence.
13th That we protest against any sale aliena
tion to ethers, of the public lands hold by actual
settlers and against any view of the free homestead
policy which rega. ds the settlers as paupers or sup
pliants for public bounty. And we demand the
passage by Congress of the cimplete and satisfacto
ry homestead measure, which has already passed
the House.
14th That the National Republican party is op
posed to any change in our naturalization laws,
or any State legislation by which rights of citizen
ship hitherto accorded to emigrants from foreign
lands shall be abridged or impaired, ana in tavor
of giving a full and efficient protection to the
rights of all classes of citizens, whether native or
naturalised, both at home and abroad

and harbor improvements of a national character

tion and justified by an obligation of the govern
ment to protect the lives and property of the citi
zens.
lfith That a railroad to the Pacific ocean is iui
peritively demanded by the interest of the whole
country; that the Federal Government ought to
render immediate and efficient aid in its construc
tion, and that as a preliminary thereto a daily
overland mail should be promptly established.
17th Finally, having thus set forth our distinc
tive principles and views, we invite the co-operation
of all citizens, however differing en other
questions, who substantially agree with us in their
amrmations and support.

Kesolvfd. That the Democratic party are in fa
vor of the acquisition of the island of Cuba, on
such terms as shall be honorable to ourselves and
just to Spain.
Resolved, That the enactments of State Legisla
tures to defeat the faithful execution of the t ugi
tive Slave law are hostile in character, subversive
of the Constitution and revolutionary in their
effect.
Resolve, That it is in accordance with the true
interpretation of the Cincinnati platform that,
during the existence of Territorial Government
tne measure ot restriction, whatever it may be, lm
posed by the Federal Constitution on the powers
of the Territorial Legislature over the subject of
domestic relations, as the same lias been, or shall
hereafter be, finally determined by the Supreme
Court of the United States, shall be respected by
all good citizens, and enforced with promptness
and fidelity by every brancn or tne federal Gov
ernmcnt.
THE DRED SCOTT DECISION.
In the 19th vol. of Howard's Reports, page 365
it is stated that the Supreme Court of the United
states decided in tne Dred fccottcase as follows
1st. '-The Territory thus acquired is acquired by
tne people ot tne u. s. tor tneir common and equal
benefit, tnrougn tneir agent and trustee, tne tea
eral Government. Congress can exercise no pow
er over the rights of persons or property of a citizen
in loo .territory wuicu la pruuiuiieu uj lue tun
stitution. The Governmentand theeitizen, when
ever the Territory is open to settlement, both
enter with their respective rights defined and
limited by the Constitution."
2nd. '-Congress has no right to prohibit citizens
of any particular State or States from taking up
their home there, while it permits citizens of other
oiaies iu uo ov. nur uas it a rigui 10 give privi
leges to one class of citizens which it refuses to
another. Abe .territory is acquired for thei
equal and common benefit, and if open to any i
must be open to all upon equal and the same
terms."
3rd. Every man has a right to tale with him
intn the Territory anv article of vronertv which the
Constitution of the United States recognizes at
property. .
4th. "The Constitution of the United States rec
agnizes slaves as property, and pledges the Federal
Government to protect it. And Congress cannot
exercise any more authority over property of that
description man it may coubiiiuiiuuiui cxeiciso
over property of any other Kind.
5th. "The act of Congress, therefore, prohibiting
a citizen of the United States taking with him his
slaves when he removes to the Territory in ques
tion to reside, is an exercise of authority over pri
vate property which is not warra nted by the Con-
stitution, and the removal of the plaintiff by his
owner to that Territory gave him no title to free
dom."
6th. '-While it remains a Territory Congress
may legislate over It within the scope of its consti
tutional powers in relation to citizens of the United
estates, and may establish a .territorial Govern
ment. and the form o' this local government must
