Citizens, have told you Of the attempts to kill of Mr..
Buchanan in the Convention under the thirds rule
there another attempt Of different kind to do the
same thing. 1t was with platlorm-a patibulary struc

strung up in the North; not, he laid out in the
South. Ills friends found out the game, and deter
mined to mount IT, be what il might. They said
the President does not TO platforms, but to the
constitution and besides, it is lawful to fight
fire with fire. 1t was concooted by the old janis

stomach would feel the cleaner after tne relief.
Citizens! this business Of making platforms Is o in
renton uni nown 10 the old democracy, who had no
platform but the constitution aim but the public good
and they generally the work of demagogues who have
thought of the thought Of the country
thought OF anything but get office, and keep it,
raen and swearing to every creed that runs an hour
It has been my prerogave to kick these platforms
unknown. The constitution the only platform
known in my schoo-and the only one to which swear.
If one made beyond the constitution, is surpusage;
if short Of the constitution defective; if different from
the constitution, it is void if the same is superfuous.
In any event. then, these PLATFORMS are TO me- useless

which they throw away when the game is wan
