Its "cardinal principle" Is declared to be :
To remove the subject of slavery from the arena of party
politics, and leave it to the independent control of the
tates in which it exists, and to the unbiassed action of
the judiciary; to remove all obstacles from the due and
faithful execution of the provisions for the rendition of
fugitive slaves; to guard and enforce the supremacy of
the laws by an impartial and strict administration of the
powers granted by the constitution ; to respect the
rights and reverence the Union of the States as the vital
source of present peace and prosperity, and the surest
guarantee of future power and happiness.
