THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

1t seems that some slight verbal inaccura-
cies have crept into the Platform adopted at
Philadelphia, as it appears in some of the
newspapers. We therefore republish the gen.
uine document, as it appeared in the Era on
the Sd instant. The discrepancies are so slight
as to escape observation, except when carefully
compared with the true reading. In fact,
there is not shade of difference in principle
between the true and the erroneous reading.
Still, it is highly proper that the genuine doc.
ument should be adhered to-
"This Convention of Delegates, assembled in
pursuance of call addressed to the people of
the United States, without regard to past polit-
ical differences or divisions, who are opposed
to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise; to
the policy of the present Administration; to the
extension Of Slavery into free Territory; in IA
vor Of the admission of Kansas as free State;
of restoring the action of the Federal Govern
ment to the principles of Washington and JEFF
ferson; and for the purpose of presenting can.
didates for the Offices of President and Vice
President, do
81. Resolue, That the maintenance of the
principles promulgated in the Declaration of
Independence, and embodied in the Federal
Constitution, are essential to the preservation
of our Republican institutions, and that the
Federal Constitution, the rights of the States,
and the union of the States, shall be preserved.
"2. Resoleed, That, with our Republican
fathers, we hold it to be a selfevident truth
that all men are endowed with the unalienable
right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi-
ness and that the primary object and Interior

that date shall remain in force, unless contrary
to the provisions of that act" and "inasmuch
as many of the DEGREES so given are unsuited
to the present condition of the Republic, and
repugnant to its welfare and prosperity, as
well as to its territorial integrity" that there
fore, call acts and DEGREES of the Federal Con-
stituent Assembly, as well as of the Federal
Congress, are declared null and void" but that
4" nothing therein contained shall affect rights
heretofore vested under the acts and DEGREES
hereby repealed" Now, one of these acts, or
DEGREES of the Federal Constituent Assembly.
so declared "null and void /" by the present
supreme Executive power of Nicaragua, pro-
vided that Slavery should be forever excluded
from the five Central American States. The
institution of Slavery is, therefore, in. effect,
now recognised and authorized in Nicaragua
as the acts of this Republic previous to the
compact which the Federal Constitution
established between Nicaragua and the other
States of Central America" are now again in
full force and virtue. Thus it will be perceived
that the late decree of President Walker is
highly important to planters and others in the
Southern portion of the United Mr. States, who
desire to emigrate with their property to this
garden of the world" And it is presumed,
that in the recent purchase of Mr.. Soule, for
$50, 900, of one of the most valuable cacao
ranches in Nicaragua, that distinguished Amer
lean statesman anticipated the issuance of this
important decree.-Cor. N. T. Herald.
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1856-10-23

sistent with the honor of the South, and vital to
its interests. That fatal act which gave birth
to this purely sectional strife, originating in the
scheme to take from Free Labor the country
secured to 1t by solemn covenant, cannot be
too soon disarmed of its pernicious force. The
only genial region of the middle ATTITUDES left
to the emigrants of the Northern States for
homes, cannot be conquered from the free Ia
borers who have long considered it as set apart
for them in our inheritance, without provoking
desperate struggle. Whatever may be the
persistence Of the particular class which seems
ready to hazard everything for the success of
the unjust scheme it has partially effected, /
firmly believe that the great heart of the nation,
which throbs with the patriotism of the freemen
OF both sections, will have power to overcome
1t. They will look to the rights secured to them
by the Constitution of the Union as the best
safeguard from the oppression of the class which,
by monopoly of the soil, and of slave labor to
till 1t, might in time reduce them to the extrem.
ity of laboring upon the same terms with the
slaves The great body of non. slaveholding
freemen, including those of the South, upon
whose welfare Slavery is an oppression, will
discover that the power of the General Govern
ment over the public lands may be benefcially
exerted to their interests, and secure their in
dependence; knowing this, their suffrages will
the Union which is absolutely essential to the
maintenance of their own liberties, and which
has more than once indicated the purpose of
disposing of the public lands in such a way
as would make every settler upon them free
holder.
1T the People intrust to me the administration
OF the Government, the laws of Congress in re-
lation to the Territories shall be faithfully ex-
ecuted. All its authority shall be exerted, in
aid of the national WILL to re-establish the peace
of the country on the just principles which have
heretofore received the sanction of the Federal
Government, of the States, and of the People
OF both sections. Such policy would leave no
ahment to that sectional party which seeks its
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT by appropriating the new Ter
ritories to capital, in the form of Slavery, but
would inevitably result in the triumph Of free
labor-the natural capital which constitutes the
real wealth of this great country, and creates
that intelligent power in the masses, alone to be
relied on as the bulwark of free institutions
Trusting that have heart capable of COM
pretending our whole country, with its varied
interests, and confident that patriotism exists
in all parts of the Union, accept the nomina
ton of your Convention, in the hope that may
be enabled to serve usefully its cause, which
consider the cause of constitutional Freedom.
Yours respectfully, your obedient servant,
j. c. Fremont.
