workingmen,s Platform,

A Congress, composed Of representatives
ofthe working classes has been in session at
Pittsburgh, and after deliberate consideu-
iion Of many subjects touching the rightsand
interests of laborers, has presented the fol-
lowing schedule Of doctrine as the best ex-
preston of its principles:
First: The fact that man is born, is
evidence thathe has right to life and a
share Of its snjoyments, and any system of
society OF government which deprives him
Of these is false.
Second: All material wealth, is pro-
duced by labor-physical and mental-snd
the laborer should enjoy the full fruits Of his
industry, and any system Of society or gov
eminent which deprves him of these is
false,
Third Men who live upon the vice and
ignonnce Of the people, should not be de-
nopnced, but vice and ignorance should be
removed, and all men turned out to honest
labor.
Fourth: As the Working men compose
the great mass Of the population Of the coun-
try, they should control its legislation.
Fifth: Prominent among the changes
which the people should demand are the fol-
lowing:
lst. Ageneral Incorporation Law which
will enable working men to associate and
become their own employers.
Cd. The homestead Of the family should
be exempt from execution and made inalien.
able but dishonest debtors should not be
permitted to escape punishment.
Sd. The public lands should be given, in
limited quantities, to actual settlers, and un.
der no circumstances should they be permit.
ted to 20 into the hands ofspeculators.
4th. All officers, legislative, executive
and judicial, should be be elected by the
votes ofthe people.
