QUEENSTOWN, WEDNESDAY.
The Inman steamer Kangaroo has arrived from
New York with advices to the Ist November.

The following is the New York Conservative
platform :
" Resolved,—That the Democracy of New York, waiving
the expression of their views upon questions not rendered

imperative by the imperilled condition of their country,

hereby declare,—
" 1. That they will continue to render the Government
their sincere and united support in the use of all legitimate
means to suppress the rebellion and restore the Union as it
was, and maintain the Constitution as it is, believing that
that sacred instrument, founded in wisdom by our fathers,
clothed the constituted authorities with full power to ac-
complish such purpose.
" 2. That by the following resolution, unanimously passed
by Congress in July, 1861, the Government was pledged to
the policy inculcated therein, and which cannot be departed
from without violation of public faith, viz.:—
" ' Resolved,—That the present deplorable civil war has
been forced upon the country by the disunionists of the
Southern States, now in arms against the Constitutional
Government, and in arms around the capital; that in this
national emergency Congress, banishing all feelings of mere
passion or resentment, will recollect only its duty to the
whole country ; that this war is not waged, on their part, in
any spirit of oppression or for any purpose of conquest or sub-

jugation, or purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the
rights or established institutions of those States, but to de-
fend and maintain the suprema3y of the constitution, and to
preserve the Union, with all the dignity, equality, and
rights of the several States unimpaired, and that as soon as
these objects are accom, lished the war ought to cease.'
" 3. That we, having confidence in the loyalty of the
citizens of the State of New York, reiterate the sentiments
heretefore expressed by the Democratic party—that the
illegal and unconstitutional arrests and imprisonments of

citizens of this State are without the justification of neces-
sity, and we denounce such arrests as a usurpation and a
crime, and that the freedom of the press, equally protected
by the Constitution, ought to be maintained.
"4. That we are willing to act in the coming election
with any class of loyal citizens who agree with us in the
principles herein expressed ; that we hereby invite the
00-operation of all citizens in giving the most emphatic ex-
pression to these principles by supporting the ticket nomi.
nated by this Convention."
