INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
ADOPTED AT PITTSBURGH, AUGUST IL. 1856

ADOPTED AT PITTSBURGH, AUGUST IL, 1852
Having assembled in National Conyen-
ton as the delegates of the Free Democra-
cy Of the United States, united by 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 i'm our endeavors TO advance it,
we now submit to the candid judgment of
all men the following declaration of prn-
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.
iii. That the Federal Government is
one of limited powers, derived solely from
the Constitution; and the grants Of power
therein ought TO be strictly construed by
all the departments and agents Of the Cow
eminent, and il is inexpedient and dan
gerous TO exercise doubtful constitutional
powers.
Nv. That the Constitution Of the United
States, ordained to form more perfect
union, to establish Justice, and secure the
blessings Of liberty, expressly denies to
the General Government all power TO de-
prive any person Of life, liberty, or prop
erty, without due process of law; and,
therefore, the Government, having no more
power to make slave than to make a
king, and no more power TO establish sla-
very than to establish monarchy, should at
once proceed to relieve itself from all re-
sponsibility for the existence Of slavery
wherever it possesses constitutional power
to lcgislate for its extinction.
v. That, to the persevering and impor-
tunate demands Of the Slave Power for
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
extradition Of slaves.
vi. That Slavery is a sin against God
and 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 1850
is repugnant to the Constitution, to the
principles Of the common law, to the
spirit Of Christianity, and to 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 to modi-
fication or repeal, is not in accordance

proceeding of sope Of the members q the
standing committee, WHO met as misplace
on Wednesday last, "to investigate The al
lodged frauds in Mt. Carmel" Being
pressed for time and room, we could, not
do SO, if even inclined, tut will briefly no
ticethe proceedings. ..,-',s .sarg.s.....
The committee slate thatthsy are sat-
isfied that 100 more votes were returned
from Mt. Carmel than were polled at the
election, and in resolution ask the editors
Of the papers 10 take down the names of
Henry Reader for Sheriff and substitute in
its place, that Of George w. Armstrong;
Now as this committee has been selected
TO suit the views OF few ivdividuals,we
cannot see by what authority they Under
take TO annul and supersede the action OF
the county convention, and take the mat
ter OF making no,nir nations into their own
hands. The people have conferred upon
them no such power. ssa'1
The chairman Of the new committee,
must have some exalted notions of his pow
er, and should he succeed in this, his next
step may be to recommend total abolition
of all primary elections, investing the stand
ing committee, of which he is the foreman,
with full powers 10 select candidates for the
people.
There can be no doubt that there have
been frauds and irregularities, in number
OF districts, besides Mt. Carmel, as the tally
papers will show.
BY the tally papers OF Turbut township,
G. w. Armstrong is returned as having re-
ceived GO votes
Henry Reader as having reed 36
James Buoy, s
Now we have il from most reliable sour.
ces that one Of the Inspectors who held the
election is willing to be sworn, that the
whole amount Of votes polled for Sheriff ii
that box was 72Aof which g. w. Arm.
strong received 90 Votes, Henry Reader DC
votes, aud Jas. Buoy 9 votes. Mr. Kissin'
ger, the Inspector, retained the, box will
the tickets and they are stIl in his posses
sion, and show the above result.
The fact itself that hero were more thar
ons hundred more votes poled in the county
for sheriff than for any other candidate
showsconclusiyey that there was consider
able lnkerng done in some PLACES. But ih'
idea Of permitting n selG.consliuded com
miiee, 10 patch upor alter the proceeding
of county convention, is species OF cob
bling that The democratic voters Of this coun
ty can never be brought 10 submit 10. go. .
Had MIR. Armstrong been nominated, Oh
support would have been accorded To hin
cheerully. But as Nj. ReadeF without result
ing 10 unfair means, received the uomluatio
from tho oonvenipn, .uo good democra, ca
refuse 10 support him, aud no one but

editor, TO advocate the election of Major
Wm. L. D waft for congress, as all the 9TH
er democratic papers in the county are IA
vorable TO Jos. w. Cake, for that Office
The editor is down upon Col. Cake, and
denounces him ~ terms of The sev,r, 81 char-
acter, and With more bitterness, we think,
than policy OF good taste would dictate.
The editor contends that by an agree
ment between the friends OF Major Drwart
and Col. Straub, two years ago, this coun-
ty was 10 have the nomina,ion. Col.
Cake, and his friends contend that il is the
usual practice in this State TO give each
county two successive terms, and having
carried Schnylkiil county by almost unani-
NOUS vote against Col. StIaub, he and his
friends are not bound by any agreement OF
Col. Straub or his friends with Major Dew
art. This state OF affairs is certainly TO be
regretted and we have accordingly placed
the names of both candidates al the head o
our paper, leaving it to the people to de.
! eide who should be elected. ..".

more hopeless every day. Unable tomeet
the charges urged sgainst him for voting 10
