Non-interfeysnce By Congress ,oith Slavery in
STATE and Territory, or in the District Of Co
lambda
2. That this was the basis of the Compromises
of ls50-confirmed by both the Democratic and
Wing parties in national onventions--ratfcd
by the peoplein the election of l952-and right
" applied TO the Organization Of Territories in
1851 rs
3. That by the uniform application Of this
Democratic principle TO the organization OF
Territories. und TO tn, admission ofnew States
with or without domestic slavery. las they mOy
elect-the equal rights Of all the States will be
preserved inlact--the original compocs of the

petuity and expansion of this Union insured 10
It's utmost capacity Of embracing, in peace and
harmony, every future AmeIicOn State that may
be constituted or snnexed, with q republican

ResOlred. That we recognize the right Of the
people of oil the Territories including Kansas
and Nrkraska acting through the legally and
fairly expressed will ofa majority ofactua resi-
dents, and whenever The number of their inhabi-
iants iustifts it, to form Constitution, with
or without domestic slavery. and be admitted
into The Union upon terms of perfect equality
with the other States.
ResotBed, finally that in view of the condi.
tiCn Unpopular institutions in the Old World,
aud ths dangerous tendencies Of sectional agi
tation, combined with the attempt TO enforce
civil and religions disabilities against the rights
Of occurring and enjoying citizenship in cur
own land IA high and sacred duty is devolved
with increased responsibility upon the Demo
cratic party Of this country, as the party of the
UNloN, to uphold aud maintain the rights of
every Safe, and thereby the Union Of theStates !;
and 10 sustain and advance aI4ong us consti;u-
tional liberty, by continHug to resist all mon
opolies and exclusive legislation for the benefit
OF the few at the expense of the many, and BY
vigilant and constoni adherence to those prin-
ciples and compromises of the Constitution,
which are broad enough and strong enough to
embrace and uphold the Union as it shall be,
in the full expansion of the energies and capacity
OF this great and progressive people.
Now read again the first clause ofthe second
resolution, and see if you do not see in it plain
endorsement of the course pursued by Pierce,
Atchinson, Stringfellow, and the Missouri mob
ocrats, who are attempting to force upon the
lreemcn of Kansas obedience to laws the most
tyrannical unjust, inhuman, and which were
enacted by and irresponsible legislature frcm a
foreign State. Standing upon snch platform,
how can any man who values his, own life, lib
erty and huppin, S. support Mr.. Buchanan for
the Presidency? The repeal of the Missouri
compromise is sanctioned, and slavery declares
itself possessed of the right to go wherever it
can find foothold. This issue is thus plainly
made, and it remains for the people 10 say wheth-
er slavery shall be extended either by enactment
Of congress or force of arms, or not.
Next they so in for free trade and the Monroe
doctrine
Then they go IN for Walkers movement in
Central America.
Aud then they wind up with the following
key note for the annexation of Walkers pseudo
governments
RcSolUed, That the Democratic party will ex-
| pect of the next Administration that every prop.
er effort be made to insure our ascendency IN
the Gulf of MEXICO, and TO maintain patma
ncnt protection to the great outlets through
whcn are emptitd into its waters, the product;
raised out of the soil, and the commodities Gre
aed by the industry of the people of our West
ern valleys, and the Union at large.
Who says that the American Democracy art
not progressive? Why, if the South is allow
ed rope TO extend its institution, the seat O
government will soon have to be removed far
ther south to accommodate the provinces o
South America
A fit platform, this, to be made by the asses
sin Brooks, the murderer Herbert, and their com
peers for Presidential candidate to stand up
on. Then add to this the candidate for Vict
Presidential professed preacher of the gospel
who contends boldly that the Bible authorizes
slavery, and you have pill that will gag am
honest friend of the Bible, of justice, truth, lib
erty, and equality.
