whereas, recent political develop

position we occupy and the views we en-.
terrain on questions Of National iBpor.
tancs. Therefore. be it
EesolpsI, lst. That we cannot view
slavery a. a National institution, and that
We depreca,e all legislation calculated to
extend to area or its influence.
"a. That we regard the repeal Of the
missouri Compromise" as an outrage
which canno, be justified or excused.
Sd. That the restoration Of said Com
promise, and protection to the settlers
in Kansas, in the free exercise Of the
elective franchise, are demanded alike
BY honor and justice.
The General and State Governme ats
ought to foster and encourage American
Enterprise, American Art and American
Industry.
To secure these objects we mus, have
guaranteed 10 US, SPIRITUAL FREEpoN,
= FREr B,BLE AND FRsr Schools.
i.h. That we believe it to be the mis-
sion Of the party we in par, represent, TO
"Americanizc America" and 10 that
end
Americans ough, to be preferred to
foreigners for all Offices Of trust, honor
and profit, and more especially in our
Diplomatic Representations abroad.
The naturalization laws ought TO be
amended.
The deportation Of paupers and con.
yicts by foreign authorities 10 our shores
should be prohibited.
No person ought TO be deemed good
citizen who owes allegiance to foreign
power.
9th. That we endorse all Legitimate
efforts which have been made or which
may be made for the Suppression OF the
manufacture aud traffic in intoxicating
liquors within our State.
E% We place the above platform a,
the head OF our columns as our expressed
position upon the political questions which
presen. themselves at the coming cleo
ton. We wish no one should mlsun-
derstabd us or have wrong impressions
as to our position. We are never afraid
to declaim our sentiments upon any ques-
ton either political or local, and as a
candidate We send the above forth as our
political creed-the creed 10 which we
subscribe. and will advocate 10 the end
OF our life. We present ourself to the
people as candidate and the exponent
of the views contained in the above plat
form. IT elected we cannot attribute 1t
ne a demonstration of our personal pepu-

BUSINESS Of "electioneerlng, but as de-

Of principles in luxtaposition to those

regards our opponent, Mr. Long, we

we are determined to follow them. The

been furnished Us for publication although
we requested them, but we consider the

a dozen old "stand-bys" whose only ,es.

tha, the men composing i, do not hold
such views upon political questions as
would entitle them to the name of demo
