est, 10 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
corrupting system of general internal inn
proyements.
VIII. Resoiped That the Democratic
party will faithfully abide by and uphold
the principles laid down in the Kentucky
aud 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 il
resolved 10 carry them out in their obvious
meaning and import.
TX. Resoived, That the war with Mex
leo, upon all the principles Of patriotism
and the laws Of nations, was jnst and
necessary waron 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. RESOLVED, 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
50 naniiestly 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. ResoiDed, That, in view Of The con-
diiion Of popular institutions in the Old
World, a high and sacred duty is devolved,
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 fthe
few at the expense of the many, and by a
yigilant 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 il was, the Union as il is, and
the Union as il shall be, in the full expan-
sion Of the energies and capacity of this
great and progressive people.

attorney. And to this end, the officer
aforesaid is hereby authorized and requir-
ed to employ SO many persons as he may
deem necessary 10 overcome such force,
and to retain them in his service so long
as circumstances may require. The. said
officer and his assistants, while so employ
ed, 10 receive the same compensation,
and to be allowed the same expenses, as

United States.
Sec. 10. find be ii further enacted, That

thorized by the law Of the United States
to cause persons escaping from service or
labor to be delivered up, shall be held and
taken to be full and conclusive evidence
of the fact Of escape, and that the service
or labor Of the person escaping is due to
the party in such record mentioned. And
upon the production by the said party Of
other and further evidence, if necessary,
either oral or by affidavit, in addition to
what is contained in the said record, of
the identity of the person escaping, he or
she shall be delivered up to the claimant.
And the said court, commissioner, Judge,
or other person authorized by this act to
grant certificates to claimants of fugitives,
shall, upon the production of the record
and other evidences aforesaid, grant to
such claimant certificate of his right to
take any such person identified and proved
to be owing service or labor as aforesaid,
which certificate shall authorize such
claimant to seize or arrest, and transport
such person to the State or Territory from
which he escaped; Provided, That moth
ing herein contained shall be construed
as requiring the production of a transcript
Of such record as evidence as aforesaid.
But in its absence, the claim shall be heard
and determined upon other satisfactory
proofs, competent in law.

INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
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 10 advance il,
we now submit to the candid judgment Of
all men the following declaration of prin-
ciples and measures:
l. 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 10 be strictly construed by
all the departments and agents Of the Gov
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 a slave than to make a
king, and no more power to establish sla-
very than to establish monarchy. should a,
once proceed to relieve itself from all re-
sponsibiIity for the existence Of slavery
wherever il possesses constitutional power
to lcgislate for its extinction.
". That, 20 the perseyering and impor.
tunate demands OF the Slave Power fol
