Pierce, Douglas and Buchanan.
There is unity of sentiment between these
worthless on the subject of the pro-slayery Gin
cinnnti platform which is truly admirable. This
is what Frank Pierce said of it in his recent
speech at Washington:
l congratulate you that your choice has fall
en- on a man who stands on the IDENTICAL
PLATFORM THAT OCCUPY, and that he will
take the SAME with the standard lowered never
an inch!
Douglas, in his speech at the ratification at
New York, said:
Buchanan and myself have, for several years
back, ever since l came into public life, HELD
THE SAME POSITION on the slavery question,
from beginning to end.
Mr.. Buchanan, in his late address to the Key
Stone Club, at Wheatland, Pa, said !:

! MOST HEARTILY. APPROVE, ard that can
speak for NE. Being the representative of the
great Democratic party, and not simply James
Buchanan, must square my conduct according
to the platform of that party and insert no new
plank, nor take one from it.
The platform thus endorsed and eulogized by
this Democratic Triumvirate, is deliberate
abandonment Of the cardinal principles of the
Declaration Of Independence, and establishes in
their stead the nationality of human slavery, by
removing every restraint, and opening all terri
tory nnder the control of the general govern
ment to slavery.

CAN'T GO Ir-The Cincinnati platform and
Southern, wool growing proclivities of the Bu-
chanan party are more than the Democrats of
the meeting Of a nominating Convention of the
42d District we extract from the Council Bluffs
Chronotype.
The Democratic Convention for the Forty
second District, was held at Aashton, June 21st,
1855 4&
Mr. Moorhead was chosen Chairman, and E.
D.. Thompson Secretary pro tenn. After ap-
pointing committees on credentials, resolutions,
and to report permanent officers the convention
adjourned until one o'clock P. NJ.
At one o'clock met, and the committee on
credentials reported nineteen delegates who
were accepted, and the following officers were
chosen, Joe B. s. Day, President, E. Stutsman,
Secretary.
Five resolutions were offered by the commit
tee, all of a local character except the third
which read thus:
Resolved, That We extend our hearty congrat-
ulations to the voters of the q. S. in having of
fered for their support such men as Buchanan
and breckenridge, men tried in the crucible of
party strife, and who have proven themselves
Democrats of the old school.
All the resolutions except the third were car
ried, but that was rejected by a decided major
ity. s ..,qs
This called out some short and spicy remarks,
after wh;ch, the following resolution was offered;
Resolved, 9th, That the platform adopted by
the Cincinnati Convention is sure proof that the
party has sold ont to the Stare PoWer, and that,
as true Democrats we cannot support the nom-
inees of that Convention.
This was a bombshell in the ranks of the oold
schools" and after few squibs the most of
them bolted, few stuck by, and motion was
made to reconsider the vote on third Resolve,
leaving both cast out, Mr. Moore of Sioux City
was proposed as a candidate, but he declined
being nominee of this Convention and avow-
ed himself Democrat of the ''old school, the
few left, adjourned short metre, and we have
no candidate in the forty-second District as yet.
