JOHN G. NICHOLS,

Our candidat, for Sheriff OF the County 10
said to be, and is, one OF the best Sherills the
county ever had. So the poor man who
comes in the way of his business he is over
indulgent, to the last degree, without com
promising his own duties. Such a man in
the Office of Sheriff is a cause !or rejoicing
That he will be re- elected we have not the
slightest doubt.

The New York Freeman's Journal afirms
that the number of Catholics, by birth or bap.
tism, in New York, is nearly, if not quite,
one half the population of the city, The
Tribune estimates the number at one fourth
of the population. Be the number what it
may they have heretofore controlled the elec
tons in the city, and Archbishop Hughes has
actually appointed the officers of that city.
Whether he shall continue 20 do SO depends
upon the American vote.

DAVID HARRIS,

our candidate for Probate Judge, is the pres.
ent incumbent. 1t is unnecessary for us to
say more of him than that he has given the
most perfect satisfaction in every instance;
that he has discharged his duty without fear
or favor. 'Tis true
"No rogue e'er eltthc halter draw.
With COED orinionoi the law"
still he has united Justice and Mercy in that
why which always secures the greatest good
in the administration of the law. He will
be triumphantly elected, we feel confident
ST. CLAIR KELLY.
our candidate for Clerk, is member of the
Bar Of this place, and we can freely say that
n more upright and conscientious man never
practised law or run for office. His business
qualifications are of the highest order, and he
is in every way n competent man for the Of
flee for which he has been nominated, and to
which he should be elected. He has served
heretofore short time as Clerk OF the Court,
by appointment, and he has proved that he is
a good man for the station. He has expert.
enco too, which does away with the great OBJ
ject to new officers.
DAVID lTRUEMAN,
our prescn, Auditor is also the candidate for
reelection, aud the citizens of the county,
could not do better than to keep him in his
present station another term. To the most
thorough qualities Of business man he
unites an aflability OF department which is
exceedingly pleasant in public officer. His
Iabors during the past term haye been exceed.
ingiy laborious and Troublesome, but he has
his duties promptly and correctly,
see to il, fellow ctizens, that he is re elected.

VIII. Resolped, That the Democratic

foundations of its political creed, and is
resolved to carry them out in their obvious

X ResolUed, That we rejoice at the res
toration of friendly relations with our sister
Republic Of Mexico, and earnestly desirefor
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 manifestly Justified the policy and con-

XII. Resolved, 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 MS 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
vigilant 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 II 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 COM
mon resolve to maintain right against
wrongs, and freedom against slavery; con-
fding 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 to advance it,
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.
Ill. 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 Gov
eminent, and it is inexpedient and dam
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 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 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 finality, and not subject to modi-
fication or repeal, is not in accordance
