We republfh the following platform of the
Democracy Of Harrison county, adopted at their
y Convention held in Cadiz, July 4, 1851
Resolre.l, That the policy Of the present Ma
tiUnal Administration, as thus far exhibited
meets our hearty approval and Findcates the
wisdom Of the peoples choice: aud that 'Presi-
dent Buchanan deserves the earnest support of
all National democrats in his efforts torarry cut
the principles proclaimed by the Cincinnati
= Convention and TO execute af the laws OF the
United States.
Rcsolesf, That, in the language Of WEBSTER,
Either the laws of the Union are beyond the
contrOlof the States, Orelse we have no cOnsti-
tuition Of general government, and are thrust
back again to the DAYS ,of the .couicderacv:''-
that we regard the Constitution Of the United
States and the laws made in pursuance thereof
as the SayHeaae lpis oftheland, and as such they
should be faithfully observed and obeyed by the
citizens of every seFtion aud by the authorities
of every State.
Reso'rei, That the proper tribunal to decide,
in all cases Of doubt whether the laws are made
'''in pursuance thereof is the Supreme Court
of the United States, and that by its decisions
we in common with all good citizens, will abide.
e 1aesolcet, That the Black Republican LegSla-
tue of s0sliohy its reasonable attempts to con
trof' and encourage resistance 20 the laws OF
the United States deserves the seyeTeSt condem-
nation of all goodcitizeHs.
Reso1vsi, That the eHpoStiol5 contained in
the recent decision Of the Supreme Court of the
United States in the Dred Scott case in regard
TO the political rights of the negro race is com
4nended TO the judgments of the people of the
limited States by the force of truth and patriot
ISM and binding upon them by the highest sane
tions Of law.
Resol,'ed, That an experience of two years
has shown that the boasted promises oiretrench-
ment and reform so loudly made by the present
State administration like most of the promises
of Black Republicanism were all ''SOund and
fury signilving nothing;'-and that we will use
our best energies to elect a Democratic State
ticket and Legislature this fall, which though
it may not promise so much, or have so much
regard for the interests of oS4er parts of the
world as the present Black Republicans pretend
to have, will yet do something towards securing
and projecting The interests Of tie people Of the
State Of 0hto
ResolUei, That the success OF the Indepen-
dent Treasury system, inaugurated by the Gov
ernment of the United States, has fully vindi-
Gated the wisdom of its adoption; and that the
past history OF the Treasury department in the
State of Ohio, as well as the enormous losses
Ately sustained urouga IT. as lully snow the
inexpediency and fatal policy of permitting any
connection of its funds with Banks or Bankers:
we are therefore in favor of the entire divorce
.ment of the same from all monicd corporations
or institutions, and of the establishment, in the
State Of Ohio, of AN INDEPENDENT TREASURY
ResolUea, That we are opposed to striking
the word 'aeAite' out of the Constitution OF
Ohio
Resolret, That in the ticket nominated to- day
we recognize good democrats and competent
men, and that we will give it onr hearty support
and use our best efforts to secure its election.
Res9iUe}, That these resolutions be published
in the "Ssntjner and that the Democratic pa
pers throughout the State be requested to copy.
