Ia the House, Mr.. Ethridge, of Tennessee
offered resolution declaring that all sugges-
tons for re-opening the slave trade were

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM In FULL.

We give at full length the "Platform'
adopted by the Cincinnati Convention. The
resolutions ef the Baltimore Convention,
which are reafirmed, are as follows:
Resolved, That the American Democracy
place their trust in the intelligence, the pa.
triotsm and the discriminating justice of the
American people.
Resolved, That we regard this as ads
tinctive feature of our creed, which we, are
proud to maintain before the world as Il
moral element in form of government
springing from aud upheld by popular will;
and we contrast it with the creed and praO-
tice of Federalism, under whatever name or
form. which seeks to palsy the vote of the
constituent, and which conceives no impos-
ture too monstrous for the popular credulity.
Resolved therefore, That entertaining
these views, the democratic party of the
Union, ihranyh their delegates assembled in
general convention or lie si4ifs, epnye:
