The Democratic Nominees, sc.
The information given in our last, in regard TO
the nominees Of the Democratic National Con-
vcntion, has been confirmed. Gen. FassKtiS
PIERcK, Of New Hampshire, was nominated for
President on the 4s,h ballot, having received
2s2 votes-only six sotes being cast against him.
This result was attained on Saturday the 9Th in
slant, about one O'clock aftei several days Of in
efIectual trials. Serious apprehensions were felt
for time, that the Convention would dissolve
without making any nomination at all. The
Hon. WILLIAM R. KING, Of Alabama, was mo-
minated for Vice President on the second ballot,
he having received 277 votes. and Col. jefferson
Davis II, the vote Of Illinois. On the first bal
lot for Vice President, the vote stood for King
las, Butler 81, Strange 20, Downs 80, Weller
~, Pillow IS. Aichison 25, Rusk l3.
The Platform Of the party, il is said, was
adopted with great unanimity, and without de-
bate. 1t embraces the resolutions OF their Con-
ventions Of IA and '4s, the Kentucky and vir-
gnia resolutions Of '9S and 90, and resolutions
adhering to the Compromise measures, and pleds-
ing the party to resist all attempts to renew the
slavery agitation. We copy the resolutions in
reference to the slavery question, that our read
ers may see the character of the new additions
to the platform:
9. That Congress has no power un.
der the constitution to interfere with or
control the domestic institutions Of the
several States, and that said States are
the sole and proper Judges of every
thing appertalning to their own affairs,
not prohibited BY the constitution that
