Illinois American Convention.

This body was in session at Springfield
Illinois, on the 9th and 7th inst. After the
acceptance and adoption Of several reports
Of special committees, the Committee OF
National Platform and Nominations offered
the following resolutions which were unan-
imously adopted:
Resolved. That we recognize and adopt
said platform as embodying the principles
and expressing the views Of the American
party Of Illinois, and we pledge ourselves
without qualification to support and main-
tain the principles therein expressed.
Resolved, That we hail the nomination
Of Millard Fillmore and Andrew Jackson
Donelson as sure indication that the A
merican party, divesting itself Of sectiona!
feeling, has assumed the character Of ma
tional party, and that we recognise them aa
men worthy to be exponents Of the princi1
pies Of the American party, and we will, to
the extent of our abilities, labor TO secur .
their election.
The Convention nominated the following
State ticket: For Governor, Col. w. B. Ar
cher, Of Clark county; For Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Hon. NJ. L. Dunlap, Of Cook count!
For Secretary of State, Anthony ThOrntol
Of Shelby county; for Auditor, Hiram Bar

The Cincinnati Platform.

The Richmond Enquirer announces Gil
issue which it says must enter into the next
Presidential canvass, and principle which
must be incorporated in the Cincinnati plat
form, which, for the information Of our
Democratic readers North and South, we
quote in the Ehquirer's words, as follows:
We must, in the Cincinnati platform, re-
pudiate squatter sovereignty and expressly
assert STATE equality. We must declare that
it is the duty Of the General Government
to see that no invidious or injurious diStinc
tions are made between the people or the
property of different sections in the Terrific
ries. We do not mean to dictate. 1t may
be that the assertion in the platform OF the
abstract proposition of State equality may
suffice to carry along with it the conse-
quences which we desire. But it is often
charged that the Kansas bill Con-
tains the doctrine of squatter sovereignty,
and that squatter sovereignty is the most
efficient agent Of Freesoilism. Some all
Northern Democrats haze maintained his
ground. Now, THIS GUN MUST BE sPIKEDs
1t must appear from our platform that we
maintain practical State equality. and fepu-
diate that construction of tbs kansas-Ne-
braska act which would defeat it. The
South only demands equality Of right. The
more clearly it appears that the Northern
Democracy is ready TO concede it to her, the
more certain is our candidate OF success.

Resolutions Adopted by the State Council
Of Missouri.

Resolved, That the repeal Of the Sth section of
the Missouri Compromise act being just and eon-
stitutonal recognition of the equal rights of every
portion OF the Union, in and to, the enjoyment and
protection of all property in the Federal Terrific
ries, we are opposed to disturbing that act of Leg
islation directly or indirectly; regarding that, to-
geiher with the Fugitive Slave Law, fnality, and
not TO be disturbed.
Resolved, That all Territories shall be admitted
into the Union, as Sovereign States, wheneSer they
have the requisite population 10 perfect State
organization; the legal voters thereof having the
exclusive right in framing their organic law, tc
regulate and decide the question of domestic slave
ry in their own way, subject alone to the provis-
ions of the Federal Constitution.
Resolved, That we regard the 18th section OF
the National Platform Of February, 1856, not a:
disapproval of the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise; but as a condemnation OF the purposes o.
the present Administration, 10 arouse sectional dis
! cord, and weaken the bonds of the Union.
