The Sumner ARRAY.

Charles Sumner. Senator from Mas.
sachusetts, was struck down for vulgar
and abusive language towards. South
Carolina, and towards a Senator from
that State, used under cover of lis
Senatorial privilege, and forthwith it
becomes an exciting question whether
his assailant ought to have beaten
him. This we shall not pretend to
determine until we are better CONVEX
SAINT with all the circumstances. The
place for the attack was certainly III
chosen, and calculated to elicit much
demagogieal remark from the North
ern portion Of the Union. But a
greater question than this, is, ought
Mr.. Sumner to have used his Senate
rial privilege to make avulgar, unjus-
tifiable and MISUNDERSTANDING assault
upon Senator absent from his seat,
and the State he represents? Ought
he to preach sedition and disunion
every day Of bis life and escape the
Of the puriittars2 Which is
the more seditious of the two, Sharp's
Rifle Sumner, or BelIigerent Brooks2

most important achievements real.

The PLATFORM.

Ine lOuowing IS the Platform OF
Principles adopted by the National
Democratic Convention at Cincinnati.
We might have given the telegraphic
report last week, but there were SO
many errors ia it, that We preferred
waiting for a correct version
PLATFORM OF RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
By TIE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CONVENTION AT CINClN-
MATT ON THE 9TH
OF JUNE, 1856.
Resolved, That the American De-
mecraey place their trust in the intel.
ligence, the patriotism, and the dis
crininate justice of the American
people.
Resolved, That we regard this as
distinctive feature of our political
creed, which We are proud to main
tain before the world, as the great
moral element in a form government
springing from and upheld by the
popular will; and we contrast it with
the creed and practice of Federalism,
under whatever name OF form, which
seeks to palsy the will of the consti-
tuent, and which cpnceiyes no impos-
ture too monstrous for the popular
credulity.
Resolved, therefore, That, enter
tanning these views, the Democratic
party of this Union, through their
Delegates assembled in general
Convention, coming together in a
spirit of concord, of devotion to the
doctrines ard faith of a free represen-
tatiye government, and appealing to
their fellow citizens for the rectitude
oftheir intentions, renew and reassert,
before the American people, the de-
claration of principles avowed by them
when, ON former occasions, in gener-
al Convention, they have presented
their candidates for the popular SUI
frages.
/. That the Federal Government
is one of limited powers, derived
solely from the Constitution, and the
grants of power made therein ought
to be strictly construed by all the De-
partments and agents of the Govern
ment, and that it is inexpedient and
dangerous to exercise doubtful con-
stitutional powers.
2. That the Constitution does not
confer upon the General Government
the power to commence and carry on
a general system Of internal improve
ments.
8. That the Constitution does not
confer authority upon the Federal
Government directly or indirectly to
assume tie debts of the several States,
contracted for local internal improve
ments, or other State purposes; nor
would such assumption be just and
expedient.
4. That justice and sound policy
forbid the Federal Government to
foster one branch Of industry to the
.detriment ofany other, or to cherish
the interests of one portion to the
injury Of another portion of our COM
mon country; that every citizen and
every section of the country has a
right to demacd and insist upon an
equality Of rights and privileges, and
to complete and ample protection of
persons and property from domestic
violence and foreign aggression.
s.. That it is the duty of every
branch Of the Government to enforce
and practice tbs most rigid economy
in conducting our public affairs, and
that no more revenue ought to be
