their national platform They have un,-
formly upheld it. and declared unequvocal
" for the compromise measures and a total
cessation OF the disturbing agitation of the
slave question. Even John Van Buren,
fairly and honorably adopted the plstiorm,
and has ever since stood by 1t But the
hes, evidence OF the manner in which the
democratic party of the State oi New ORR
regard the platform of the Baltimore dem
ocratic convention. and the compromise
measures, ia the action Of It's State conyen.
ton. held at Syracuse on the $, OF Sep
,enber The following resolution was
unanimously adopted
Resoired. That We cordially adopt. ms
the sentiment of this convention. aud We
affirm the platform of principles contained
in the annexed resolutions of the las, Dem.
ocra,ic National Convention held in Bal,i.
more. The Baltimore resolutions are
copied in full.
Here all is open and above board, urre
served and unanimous. What was tn.
course pursued by the wing State conycn

Instant Did they unanimously and cor.
daily adopt ,h. platform OF their national

trary. they passed a resolution of decep
tive, ar,'ul character. which appears al first
sight. ,o the unsophlsticsied, To endorse the
Baltimore resolutions. but, which, on n III
tie closer examination. is found to dodge
and evade them. and shows plainly enough,
to every rejecting mind, ,ba, the intention
of the cou,cntion while hoping to humbug
the south, was to spit upon the platform in
the sight of the North. The resolution is
"a follows.
That the whig .arty. being n n.tional
party, devoted Ia the mon. and TO the
welfare and promotion of all the varied
interests OF this grea, republic, aud uniior-
nifty of action and concert o. purpose being
attainabe only through the agency OF ma.
tIonsl conventions an honest acquescence
in the decision aud action OF the national
convention of the party. ppon all SUBJECTS
icg,iimaielg before them, is the duty OF ,v.
cry wbg.
pom all subjects legit,mately before
them" Here IS the saving clause, the
loop hole GU, of which the convention can
escape, and laugh in its sleeve at every one
who is SO simple and creduIous as to believe
that the resolution supports the compromise
m~xsutes including IT,. tup,,iv. slave law
Tho n,ta.ias ol Il evident, Is, that the
slavery question, aud the compromise meas
ures, were not questions lcgitIma,el, before
the national convention but Ms TO all pc.
calarly wing principles, these Were legiIi
mately before the national convention, and
it had right to act upon them. Bat

leaves no doubt as TO the true Interpretation
of the resolution The following appear.
