are presented and supported are iailiy oho clearly
,et forth in the Resolves Of ;he Peoples National
Convention which met 10 Philadelphis last June
Tn tbeae are no antiquities, evasion OF issues,
and no parade Of captivating common places.
Tbey state Just what our psrty think with regard
10 tbe min questions, whether affecting Domestic
or Foreign Policy which now divide the country.
Why 10 it that our adversaries rarely or never
copy or quote rom one Of these Resolves Why
90 they persist not only in suppressng the princi-
pies we hold and proclaim but in fabrcsting others
to attribute to us instead Why does even a man
like Daniel d. Barnard, who would once have
been deemed honorable and candid instead Of cit
ing our Platform as an evidence of our PRINCIPLES,
quote in place of it somebody speech at some
public meeting to prove that we mean something
else than what We profsssi Why do grave SEN
Ators tell their constituents that we make war on
the Slave States and mean to oppress and sahju-
gate them? Why ART !he writings Of the Garri-
sOnisn AbOlitiotists-wbo never vo.e for any party
but are particularly bitter sgainst Ours-quOted IS
expressing views, and indicating on, desire to
have the Union dissolved In short, why do our
opponents hsbtually misrepresent ard drfame u.s.
if it b. not that they are aware that the truth would
not serve them
So With regard to personal considerations We
oppose the election of Messrs Buchanan and Fill
more, because We believe the principles on which
they severslly supported uDscuDd and mischlev-

which these gentlemen are several!y presented oer
in their public avowals have we the slightest eyd-
ence that they, or either Of theu share sympa-

Of Atchlson, Stringfellow, Shannon, LecOmpte,

beaten, because we desire to see the Nebraska

and the territorial expansion Of Slavery perma-
emily srrts sted For these reasons, we oppose
Buchanan and Fillmore and support Fremont but
against the two former as men and citizens We
have nottirg to say. We oppose the principles
they uphold but we do no, wish our readers to
believe the candidates either swincers debauchses
or iufiians. On the contrary, we nave said
nothing, and mean to say nothing, which should

political attitude and principles, and on other
grounos.
Now consider the kind of warfare waged or CJl.
