est, to suspend the passage OF bill whose
merits cannot secure the approval OF two
thirds Of the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives until the Judgment OF the people
can be obtained thereon, and which has
saved the American people from the cor
rupt and tyrannical domination OF the
Bank Of the United States, and from a
corruptng system of general internal im-
proyements.
VIII. Resoiped, That the Democratic
party will faithfully abide by and uphold
the principles laid down in the Kentucky
and Virginia resolutions Of 1898, and in
the report Of Mr.. Madison TO the Virginia
Legislature in 1893; that it adopts those
principles as constituting one Of the main
foundations OF its political creed, and is
resolved to carry them out in their obvious
meaning and import.
TX. Resolped, That the war with Mex
leo, upon all the principles of patriotism
and the laws Of nations, was just and
necessary war on our part, IN which every
American citizen should have shown him-
self ON the side Of his country, and neither
morally nor physically, by word or deed,
have given aid and comfort to the
enemy"
X. Resolred, That we rejoice at the res
toration of friendly relations with our sister
Republic Of Mexico, and earnestly desire for
her all the blessings and prosperity which
we enjoy under republican institutions;
and we congratulate the American people
upon the results Of that war, which have
so manilestly justified the policy and con-
duct ofthe Democratic party, and insured
to the United States indemnify for the
past and security for the future"
XII. Resolued, That, in view Of The con-
dition Of popular institutions in the Old
World, a high and sacred duty is devolyed,
with increased responsibility, upon the
Democratic party of this country, as the
party Of the people, to uphold and maintain
the rights Of every State, and thereby the
Union Of the States, and to sustain and
advance among us constitutional liberty,
by continuing to resist all monopolies and
exclusive legislation for the benefit Of the
few at the expense of the many, and by a
vigiant and constant adherence to those
principles and compromises of the Con-
stitution which are broad enough and
strong enough to embrace and uphold the
Union as it was, the Union as it is, and
the Union as it shall be, in the full expan-
sion of the energies and capacity Of this
great and progressive people.

INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.


ADOPTED AT PITTSBURGH, AUGUST IL, 1852
Having assembled in National Conven-
ton as the delegates of the Free Democra-
cy Of the United States, united by a COM
mon resolve TO maintain right against
wrongs, and freedom against slavery; con-
fiding in the intelligence, patriotism, and
the discriminating Justice Of the American
people putting our trust in God for the
triumph of our cause, and invoking his
guidance in our endeavors 10 advance il,
we now submit TO the candid judgment OF
all men the following declaration Of prin-
ciples and measures:
|. That Governments, deriving their Just
powers from the consent Of the governed,
are Instituted among men to secure TO all,
those inalienable rights of life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness, with which they
were endowed by their Creator, and Of
which none can be deprived by valid legis-
lation, except for crime.
III. That the true mission Of American
Democracy is TO maintain the liberties OF
the people, the sovereignty OF the States,
and the perpetuity Of the Union, by the
impartial application to public affairs, with
out sectional determinations, OF the fun
damental principles Of equal rights, strict
Justice, and economical administration.
LII. That the Federal Government is
one of limited powers, derived solely from
the Constitution; and the grants Of power
therein ought 10 be strictly construed by
all the departments and agents OF the Gov
eminent, and il is inexpcdient aud dam
gerous TO exercise doubtful constitutional
powers.
Nv. That the Constitution of the United
States, ordained 10 form more perfect
union, to establish Justice, and secure the
blessings Of liberty, expressly denies TO
the General Government all power to de-
privc any person Of life, liberty, or prop
erty, without due process of law; and,
therefore, the Government, having no more
power 10 make slave than TO make a
king, and no more power TO establish sla-
very than to establish monarchy, should al
once proceed TO relieve itself from all re-
sponsibiity for the existence Of slavery
wherever il possesses constitutional power
to lcgislate for IFS extinction.
v. That, 10 the persevcring and impor-
tunate demands OF the Slave Power fol
more slave States, new slave Territories,
and the naturalization Of Slavery, our dis
tinct and final answer is--no more slave
States, no slave Territory, no nationalized
Slavery, and no national Legislation for the
cxtradition Of slaves.
vi. That Slavery is sin against God
and a crime against man, which no human
enactment nor usage can make right; and
that Christianity, humanity, and patriotism
alike demand its abolition.
VII. That the fugitive Slave Act Of 1856
is repugnant to the Constitution, TO the
principles Of the common law, to the
spirit Of Christianity, and 10 the senti-
ments Of the civilized world. We there
fore deny its binding force upon the
American People, and demand its imme.
date and total repeal.
VIII. That the doctrine that any human
law is 6nality, and not subject 70 modi-
6cation or repeal, is not in accordance

as these acts are concerned, we will main
tain them, and insist OH their strict en-
forcement, until time and experience shall
demonstrate the necessity Of further legis-
lation to guard against the evasion Of the
laws on the one hand, and the abuse Of
their powers on the other, not impairing
their present efficiency to carry out the
requirements Of the Constitution and we
deprecate all further agitation of the ques-
tons thus settled, as dangerous to our
peace, and will disconnienance all efforts
10 continue or renew such agitation, when
ever wherever, or however made; and we
will maintain this settlement as essential
