PLATFORM.

Ruea That the democratic party Of the State OF Ala
bama still adhees TO the constitutional doctrines taught by
Jefferson and Madison the great founders Of our demo-
cratic faith These doctrines maintained in the admins
raon of the government will preserve in their proper
gor the States of the Union and the Union of the States
Re,o,sa That the acquicscence Of the citizens of this
State in those of Congress known ms the aCompro-
mise evccd by the elections, rests upon the
hieraon that this "Compromse" is a final settlement
81 THE slavery agitation, ard protection for southern
property.
The democratic party of Alabama stands immovably
Upon the broad, wise, and saving principles here laid
auvu!
These resolutions assert two things rst the republican
doctrines of the republican fathers which Alabama has
always maintained by majority vote Of her people
second the naly Of antssvery agitation, and deter
minaon that her acauiescence in the wrongs Of the
Compromise Of ls50'5l to be aksr Is her last
surrender Of her sovereign Staerghts to the aggressons
the North for the sake Of the Union. In other words,
the resolutions place liz democratic party Of Alabama
the Georgia plaor.n--a resistance platormand fight
ng platform whenever its provisions violated by the
advancing footsteps Of abolition.
What republican and what Staterights ask for
ssounder safer purcr and more decided platform than
THIS Let Alabama stand by and support it. and take her
position by the side Of glorious Old Virginia in vindica-
ung her political faith from the horde Of vandal opinions
which are uprising to sweep her away from her firm and
mmovsbe republican foundations.

The Ascenston and Fire works.
We presume il IL unnecessary to remind
readers that the Balloon Ascension will take
place this afternoon, and the splssdid Fire
Works exhibition in the evening. But We
would remark that the process Of filing the
balloon, with other exercises in the snclo-
sure. will be very interesting. and a. ne
price Of admission 10 low, the enclosure
should be filed with people. Ne. Brooks
lecture on BslIoouirg will in itself be an at
traction Of no small nature. Take the IL.
dies there BY all means, ~ we are sure an
outside view will not satisfy their curiosity.
The Fire Works in the evening will be on
large scale; some of the pieces are mag
ni6cent. Thissisa very costly kind Of ex-
hibition, and something we have never had
here before. There will be not the slight
est danger to those in attendance, ~ some
seem to think. No one should lose the OPP
porsunity Of witnessing this exhibition.
The price of tickets to each affair 10 twenty.
Eve cents.

or Il will be recollected that tickets for
the Balloon ascension and Fire Works can be
obtained at all the Hotels, Book stores, &c.
As there 10 likely to be tremendous crowd
around the ticket Office at the enclosure, It
would be we'll to escape delay and confusion
by purchasing tickets beforehand, especial
ly fyou have ladies in charge. Excellent
seats have been provided for the ladies' in.
side Of the enclosure, an d perfectly safe.
