THE PLATFORMS.


We publish to-day, so that our readers may have
them all before them in one paper, the Resolutions
8 of the last Democratic National Convention--the
Resolutions Of the late Democratic State Convention
the Resolutions of the late K. n National Con-
vention-and the Resolutions of the GreensboIough
Convention.
The "Register" desired recently to impress the
fact upon its readers that the T. Ms have nation
al platform. What does the Editor say now, after
the adoption by the Greensborough Convention of
the February PLATFORM
Democratic principles are always the same-they
never change. The K. Ms bring out new batch
OF principles every six months, to suit their con-
venience, or to meet what they may regard as the
popular demand Not SO with the Democrats
Every four years they reassert their principles and
if they add to their declarations they do with the
sole view of presenting compact 'front.' if pos
sble, against the enemies of the Constitution and
the Union. -.
We ask the people to compare the platforms care
fully and thoughtlly and then decide for themselves
upon their merits.
The following is the twelfth section of the K. N.
platform of June, 1855, which stricken ont by
the late K. N. National Convention in Philadelphia
1t was stricken out by strictly sectional vote, and
Southern Shareholders acquiesce in the act:
"The American party having arisen upon the ruins and
in spite of the opposition of the Wing and Democratic par
ties cannot be in responsible for the obnoxious
acts violated pledges of either And the systematic ag
taon of the slavery question by those parties having ee
waited sectional hostility into positive element of political
power and brought our institutions into peril it has there
fore become the Imperative duty of the American party
for the purpose OF giving to the country
and pepetuy the Union. And experience has
it impossible to reconcile opinions extreme those
which separate the dsputan and there be dis
honor in submitting to the laws the National Council has
deemed it the best guarantee of justice and of
ture to abide by and maintain the existing laws
the subject of slavery final and usve settlement
OF that subject in spirit and substance.
And regarding it the duty their opinions
upoi subject important in distinct and unequivocal
terms is hereby declared the Of the National
Council that Congress power under the Con-
suton, to egsate upon the subject of slavery in the
States, where it does exist exclude State
from admission into the Union because its Constitution
does does not recognize the institution of slavery
part of its social system and expressly pretermttng
OF opinion the Of Congress to
lish prohibit slavery in any Territory is the
the National Council that Congress ought egsate
upon the subject of slavery within the territories of the
United States and that interference by Congress with
slavery it exists in the District of Columbia would be
violation of the spirit and intention compact by which
Maryland coded the District the United States and
breach of the national faith"
