THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
ADOPTED AT BALTIMORE, JUNE j, 1856

|. Resoiced, That the American Democ-
racy place their trust in the intelligence,
the patriotism, and the discriminating JUS
tice Of the American people.
III. Res0lUed, That we regard this as a
distinctive feature Of our political creed,
which we are proud to MAINTAIN before
the world as the great moral element in a
form of government springing from and
upheld by the popular will and we con-
trast il with the creed and practice OF
Federalism, under whatever name or form,
which seeks to palsy the will Of the con-
stitucnt, and which conceives no impos-
ture too monstrous for the public Gre
dulity.
iii. Resolred, therefore, That, entertain
ing these views, the Democratic party OF
this Union, through their delegates assem-
bled in General Convention, coming
together in spirit Of concord, of devotion
to the doctrines and faith Of free repre-
sentative Government, and appealing to
their fellow-citizens for the rectitude Of
their intentions, renew and reassert before
the American people the declarations of
principles avowed by them when, on
former occasions, in General Convention,
they have presented their candidates for
the popular suffrages:
l. 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
ernment and that il is inexpedient and
dangerous to exercise doubtful constitu-
iional powers.
2. That the Constitution does not con-
fer upon the General Government the
power to commence and carry on gen.
eral system Of internal improvements.
3. That the Constitution does not con-
fer authority upon the Federal Govern
ment, directly or indirectly, to assume the
debts Of the several States, contracted for
local and internal improvements, or other
State purposes; nor would such assump-
ton he just or expedient.
4. That justice and sound policy forbid
the Federal Government TO foster one
branch Of industry to the detriment Of any
other, or to cherish the interests of one
portion to the injury OF another portion Of
our common country; that every citizen,
and every section Of the country, has
right to demand and insist upon an equal
ity Of rights and privileges, and to COM
plete and ample protection of persons and
property from domestic violence or foreign
aggression.
8. That it is tho duty Of every branch Of
the Government to enforce and practice
the most rigid economy in conducting our
public affairs, and that no more revenue
ought 70 be raised than is required to de-
fray the necessary expenses Of the Gov
eminent, and for the gradual but certain
extinction Of the public debt.
8. That Congress has no power 10
