the abolitionists or Others made to induce Con-
gress TO interfere with questions Of slavery or TO
take ncpient steps in relation thereto, are caIcu-
lated TO lead to the most alarming and dangerous
consequences; and that all such efforts have an
inevitable tendency TO diminish the happiness OF

"Resolped, That the foregoing proposition
covers, and was intended to embrace, the whole
subject OF slavery agitation in Congress; and
therefore the Democratic party, of the Union,
standing on this national platform, will abide by
and adhere to a faithful execution of the acts
known as the compromise measures settled by the
last Congress, 'the act for retaining fugitives
from service or labor included which act, be-
ing designed to carry out an express provision of
the Constitution, cannot with fidelity thereto be
repealed or so changed as to destroy or impair its

sist all attempts at renewing, in Congress or out
OF 1T, the agitation of the slavery question, under
whatever shape or color the attempt may be
made.'

their acknowledgements of New York on the recent
glorious achievement of their brethren in Virginia
and pledge the keystone in her next contest to

partys Surely this cannot be policy. To adhere
to or defend an Administration which we do not
agree with and cannot commend, merely because
we placed 1t in poweri Certainly this is not
honesty, even if it were policy. If, then, it be
neither honest polite to occupy this relation
to the Administration any longer, what is our
duty? What is our duty to our friends, to our
principles, to our integrity, and TO our self-re-
spect9
We answer, and answer fearlessly, that the
duty of the Democratic party under these unto
ward circumstances, is to cut the Gordon knot,
to relieve ourselves from all further RESPONSE
bilty for the faults or follies of the Administra-
tion-to say to it, we will support you when
you right, but we will not defend you when
you wrong. You have deserted our princi.
ples-you have cut loose from our mornings
you have destroyed our beautiful organization,
and scattered our forces every side. The
enemy is forming for great fght-it is our duty
to rally our men-to bring them back to the good
old ship, and give earnest battle to our foemen, I'M
der the unsulled flag of our principles. 1t is no
trifng alternative-we feel its gravity, and ap-
preciate its import. But we honestly believe e
is this, the downfall of our party and the pros
tration of our principles. Once permit the pre-
sent Opposition to succeed to power-an Oppo-
siton ncomparably worse and more dangerous
than the old Wing party when it stood alone in
its imagined might; and the work of half CEN
fury must be done again.
Let Us, then, be up and doinig-let us honestly
and frankly meet the taunts and eers of our adj
versaries, and neither acknowledge nor endorse,
even by our silence, the past, present, or future
errors committed by the Administration-let us
fight them with our open prnciples-let us send
good and true men to our State and national
councils--let us sink the doctrine Of availability,
and put forth for the next canvass our best and
worthiest statesmen Then shall Democracy be
again triumphant-then shall our principles be
brightly blazoned upon the pillars of our insttu-
tions which they have so long upheld, and which
they will perpetuate for generations to come.
Such is the course we have selected for our
selves, and by the help of God we will keep it
unto the end.
