PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES
The Wings of the United States, in Convention
assembled, adhering to the great conservative Re-
publican principles by which they are coptrolled
and governed, and now, ever, relying upon the
intelligence of the American people, with abb
ding confidence in their capacity for govern
ment, and thercontinued devotion to the Consri-
tuition and the Union, proclaim the following as
political sentiments and determination for the es-
Establishment and maintenance of which their ma
tional organization party is effected:
l. The Government of the United States is of lim-
ted character and confined the exercise of powers
expressly granted by the Constitution and such may
be necessary and proper for carrying the granted powers
into fall execution and that all powers not thus granted
necessarily implied reserved to the States respec
lively and to the people.
The State governments should be held secure in their
reserved rights and the General Government sustained
in its Constitutional powers and the Union should be
revered and watched the palladium OF our ber
Ties"
g. That while struggling freedom every where. enlsts
the waest sympathy of the Wing party, still adhere
to the doctrines ofthe Father of Country announced
IN his Farewell Address, of keeping ourselves free from
all enangng alliances with foreign countries and of
quitting his stand upon foreign ground. That
mission Republic is propagate opn-
ions impose onoher countries form government
by atce or force but to teach by example, and show by
moderation and justice, the blessings of self
government and the advantages offree institutions
t. That whereas the people make and control the Gov
ernnlent they should obey its Constitution, laws and
treaties they would retain their selfrespect and the
respect which they claim and will enforce from foreign
powers.
5. Government should be conducted principles of
atrcest economy and sufficient for the expenses
thereof IN time ofpeace ought be derived from duty
imposts and norom direct and in laying such
duties, sound policy requires just dscrmnatio H. where
by suitable encouragement may be afforded American
industry equally to ali classes and to all portions of the
country.
s. The Constitution vests in Congress the power to
open harbors and it is expeden that Congress
should exercise its power Instructions from
navigabe rivers, rheaeeer sueh Improvements
sarg fer the defence and for the protection and
facility commerce with foreign nations or among the
