The American patriot., 1855-08-11
PL LATFORM
I'M = RIOAN PARTY,


1. We advocate an amendment
of the Naturalization Laws, with proper safe
guarps to preserve the purity Of the elective
franchise.
2. We advocate the passage of
such laws as will prevent the immigration of
paupers and criminals to this country.
3. We oppose any interference
in the vested rights of all persons, whether
they be Of native or foreign birth.
4. We are in favor of non-in-
tervention with slavery by the Federal Gov
ernment, except for the protection of our
constitutional rights.
5. We advocate a high Nation
al Policy such as will afford stern and un-
wavering protection to the American name
abroad, and will follow and guard the Amer
ican citizen wherever he moves
6. We believe that America
should be governed by Americans, effecting
the same through the ballot-box alone, the
only legitimate instrument of reform in this
country.
7. We believe that the office
should seek the man, and not the man the
office, and shall oppose the distribution of
Office among office seekers, or as = reward
for partisan services.
8. We will maintain and de-
fend the Constitution of the United States
and the Union as it now exists, and the rights
Of the States without diminution, insisting
upon a faithful performance on the part of
the General Government of all the duties en-
joined upon it by the Constitution.
9. While we approve of the
platform adopted by the late National Coun-
Gil Of the American Party at Philadelphia,
we reject the application Of the principles Of
the eighth article to American Catholics, as
unjust, unfounded, and entirely unworthy of
our country. We shall forever continue to
protest against any abridgement of religious
liberty, holding it as cardinal maxim that
religious faith is question between each in.
dividual and his God. We utterly condemn
any attempt to make religious belief . test
for political Office, and can never affiliate
with any party which holds sentiments not
in accordance with these.
10. We war with no party as
such, but shall oppose all who oppose us in
the advocacy of these great American prin-
ciplas.
STATE POLICY.
Reform of abuses, and re-
trenchment in our State expenditures
Education of the youth of the
country in schools established by the State.

quiries might be instituted. On Friday he was again
brought before the Court The Captain, the police
ofsers and the door-keepers were present The tes-
tmony went to prove that the prisoner, when fret
locked up had no appearance of being il-used, but
