NEw YoRx, Jwne l2.-The Plstform
Committee ofthe Americen National Con.
ventio, at Philadelphia has adopted the fol-
lowing resolution in reference to the slavery
question: .a. -
R~olued, That the American party, hav-
ing risen on the ruin, and in despite OF the
opposition of the Wing and the Democratic
parties, they cannot be held in any man.
ner responsible for the obnoxious acts OF
violated pledges Of either Of them.
Resolued, That the systematic agitation OF
the slavery question by those psrties has
elevated sectional hostility into positive
element Of political power. and brought our
institutions into peril. 1t has therefore b. :
come the imperative duty of the American
psty Asanterpose, for the purpose OF giving
peace to the country and to perletuate the
Onicn. 1879
Resolved, That Is experience a,as shown
that it is impossible to reconcile opinions so
extreme As those which sepeeate disPu-

mon Justice and future peace toabide by
anil maintain the existing laws upanthe sub
iect OF slavery as final conclusion and set
kemedt Of that-subiect in spirit and in cub
stance.
Rcsolved, That regarding It as the highest
duty to avow these opinions upon = subject
90 important, in distinct and uneQuivoca
ting terms. it is herby declared as'the sense
of this Council, that congress possesses no
power under the constitution to legislate
uron the subject OF slaveryin States, or to
exclude any State from admission into the
Union because its constitution does not re-
.cognize the institution as paTt'of the so< ial
system. 1t is the sense Of Cou that
Congress ought not to legislate on the sub.
iect Of slaveryas it exits in the District
Of Columbia, and that any interference
of Congress with slsvery as it exists
in said District, would he q violation
of the spirit and intention Of the COM
pact by which Maryland ceded it to the
United States, and 4 breach of national
faith.
The platform was adopted by II to 10
TIE Abolitioutsts opposing it in body on
one side, and the Nationa; men supporting
it on the other. The Abolitionists will
make IN effort to carry out their views,
and should they fail, will leave the con-
vention.

economical nutritious, and wholesome prepara-
tions ever brought 10 the table, eminently COM
bning the qualification of the palate with ample

Strictly speaking, Heckers' Farina is neither

ordered bowels, diarrhae, dysentery, and even in
cases OF cholera, when food is deemed admissible
by the physicians, Heckers' Farina cannot fail 10
