The Platform.

If anything were needed to enhance the
exultatian of the democratic party of the
country, or elevate the high hopes inspired
by the nominations of its Convention, such
additional encouragement and cheer may be
found in the unanimity and enthusiasm
which marked the adoption of the resolutions
which are to form the creed of the democra-
cy in its coming canvass. They will be
found in another column. Most of them
are familiar to democratic ears, as the notices
which have been inscribed upon the old
banner which has led the democratic party
on to victory, and the country forward in
its march OF prosperity, in former years
while the noble and truly national declara-
lions upon the sectional issues, and the Ad-
justment, which, in the Judgment Of the
democracy, has now composed and settled
them, will be welcomed BY democrats Of all
sections as in harmony with the truest demo-
cratic spirit, and a most salutary and need.
full response to the momentous exigencies Of
the country aud the time. Against the az
gressions Of fanaticism, and in defence D
the Union and the constitutional rights b

of the laws enacted to protect them, the m

We point with pride and exultation to the
Platform adopted at their late session BY the
assembled democracy 81 the country, which
will be found in another column. The Ma
tional Intelligencer says that the resolution
relative to the Compromise Measures was
received with deafening applause, and that
being read second time, according to re.
quest, it was greeted with renewed shouts OF
welcome, and passed with only one or two
dissenting voices. Such is the record which
the democracy, North, South, East and
West-the national democracy-havc made
up, and upon which they appeal to the coun.
try. They have nobly vindicated themselves
against those unjust and false asperSiOnE
which it had become fashionable to heap
against them, and stand to-day upon those
broad, conservative and constitutional prin
ciples which are echoed and applauded by
the land of Calhoun, equally with that o.
Pierce, both Of whom, stood shoulder tt
shoulder in the Senate of the United States
against anti-slavery fanaticism in the excit
ing and able debates of 1S48.

Ratification.

Never have we known a nomination for
the high and responsible Office of President
and Vice President, SO universally and unan-
imously hailed with enthusiasm, as that of
PIERCE and KING When we reflect upon
the personal rivulship, the sectional animos-
tiles, and the bitter fueds, which recently dis
tracted the democratic party, it seems that
nothing short of inspiration could produce
the wonderful change we now behold. At
the shrine Of a common altar, under the i'm
pulse of common faith, and with the Ian
guage of common devotion, the united de-
mocracy of the country arc cmulating each
other in responding to the magical claims of
the democratic nominees and in advancing
the worthy cause they so truly represent
The reason is plain...sIn the history of Pierce
and King, nothing can be found to offend
the pride, ALLEVIATE the confidence or excite
the suspicion and jealousy of any true dem
ocrat or friends of tha South. They have
on every occasion exemplifed their patriotic
attachment to the cardinal principles of ma
tional domocracy-which looking to the
Rights of the States, as the great palladi
urn of the Union Of the States, embrace al
the distinctive disciples Of each, in com
mon brotherhood. This explains the popu
lar and prevailing influence of their names
uppon the united democracy. Amongst tn

We publish in another place the re-
capitulation of ballotings had at the late
Democratic Convention. 1t will be per.
ceived that it was not until the 35th trial
that Pierce was voted for, Virginia having at
that ballot led off for him. For the two
subsequent trials he received each time 20
votes, as follows Maine, 8; New Hamp-
shire, s; Massachusetts, l; Virginia, Is.
On the 46th ballot 8 from Maryland, and
II from Kentucky carried Pierce's vote to
Al. On the 47th ballot, the addition of 8
from Massachusetts; and 2 from Maryland
carried his vote to 40. On the 48th ballot
Rhode Island came to him, with two more
votes from Massachusetts,, making in all So
On the 49th and last ballot, he received
every vote but from Ohio, making 283.-
The scene during the progress of the last
ballot is described by the reporter of the
National IntelligCncer, as one wild and con
tinued burst Of applause, as State after
State wheeled into thesupport of Pierce, the
result being hailed by the roar of artillery
and the loud peals Of rejoicing which rent
the air, the congratulations of such men as
Cass, Douglas, Buchanan, &C., being sem
on lightning wings to swell the chorus.
After the nomination of candidate fol

to ballot for a candidate for the Vice Pres
idency with the following result:

The Peoples Ticket.

The Congressional politicians, for the last
six months, have been sleeplessly busy in
making President for the people. True,
they were sent to Washington to make laws
and provide for the necessary movements of
the Government, but they preferred the ex-
element of attending to other business, and,
therefore, expended their energies upon eau
cusing, wire-pulling, and speech making for
Cass, Buchanan, Douglas, ct I'd 0nlne. 1t
would seem that the nomination and election
of Mr.. Polk might have taught them a mem
orable lesson on this head, and that proper
sense of the fruitless result of their efforts
might have led them to abandon their at
temps But no : one lesson was not enough,
and they still supposed that the floor Of Con-
gress was the arena where the battle for the
Presidency was to be lost and won. There
Butler, Buchanan, Cass, Douglas, etc., all
had their circle of watchful friends, and there,
as the beam of one rose or fell, he was, ac-
cordingly, elated or detected.
But another Polk scene has been enacted
at Baltimore. The people have met, and,
taking their affairs into their own hands, they
have toppled over alike the cold fngies' and
the young fogies," cxalting, in their stead,
man whom the Congressional wire-pullers
scarcely thought of, and for whom nobody
made speeches, or Brae biographies.
/ This nomination is another clear case ot
the triumph of democracy over personal eli
ques and stage management. The antago
nism of opposing cliques has defeated theil
whole system and opened up the way for thu
man of the people. That man has beer
chosen not for his brilliant talents or higl
station, or great services to the country, Blu
simply as the representative Of principle
and in this, the triumph Of that principle il
more marked than it could he in the numi
nation of greater man. The people hav
