STRANGE COMPLAINT. Mrs. MARGARET

Connerton made her appearance before the Mayor
yesterday morning. to answer the charge of assault
ing and beating Martin Connerton, her husband, on
Saturday last. Martin, with that straight forward
way OF relating an event for which he is proyerbal
on being sworn, testified that on Saturday last he
stepped into james Rocks house to converse with
lady acquaintance, without knowing that his wife.
from whom he had been separated for three wears
was in there After having remained short time.
a negro woman, who did his washing, came in with
his clothes, and wanting her pay, called him aside
and asked him to settle. As she spoke in an under
tone TO him, and he to her, his wife got in violent
rage, abused the negro followed her to the door, and
there catching her, gave her very severe beating
The next thing he saw, his wife returned into the
house where he was, her hand bloody, and made a
blow at him. He warded it off, buttoned up his
coat and started to run, but he got to the door
she seized him by the collar jrked him backwards
On the hoor, and broke glass tumbler over his
head As soon as he could do so he got loose made
his escape, and then had warrant issued for her
arrest. Martin says he lives in house by himself,
and that he has been beaten severely several times
before by his more ferocious half The Madam is
rather good looking for her age-perhaps little too
young for Martin-and as the green eyed monster
seems to have had band in their repeated distur-
bances it is doubtless best for both that they have
separated. The examination was adjourned over
until this morning, when it will be proceeded with
as there are yet several witnesses summoned, who
have not had an opportunity to testify

est, TO suspend the passage OF a bill whose
merits cannot secure the approval OF two
thirds Of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatiyes 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 q
corrupting system of general internal inn
prOyements.
VIII. Resolyed, 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 1899; 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. Resohed, That the war with Mex
leo, upon all the principles of patriotism
and the laws Of nations, was a 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 ResolDed, That we rejoice at the res
toration Of friendly relations with oursister
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 manifestly justified the policy and con-
duct Of the Democratic party, and insured
to the United States "indemnity for the
past and security for the future"
XI. ResolDed, That, in view Of the con-
dition Of popular institutions in the Old
World, high and sacred duty is deyolved,
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
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 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.

and other evidences aforesaid, grant to

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
ADOPTED AT PITTSBURGH, AUGUST IL, 1856


ADOPTED AT PITTSBURGH, AUGUST H. 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 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.
iii. That the Federal Government is
one Of limited powers, derived solely from
al fl..< x.f.S
therein ought TO be strictly construed by
all the departments and agents Of the Gov
eminent, and it is inexpedent and dan
gerous to exercise doubtful constitutional
powers.
Nv. That the Constitution Of the United
States, ordained to form a 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 legislate 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 repngnant to the Constitution, TO the
principles Of the common law, to the
spirit Of Christianity, and 10 the senti-
mentSof the civilized world. We there
fore deny its binding force upon the
American People, and demand its imme-
diate and total repeal.
VIII. That the doctrine that any human
law is fnality, and not subject to modi-
fcation or repeal, is not in accordance
