NH To The Editor ej the Portage Sealinel;
In my communication, published il
your paper OF last week, expressed a dout
whether it would be profitable to ttrtsritat
. ga deud issue," and 60 back To discuss whe
ther President Buchanan has regulated tn
HI Cincinnati Platform. AS you mtde in
charge against biths and still adhere to it,
/ suppose it will be expected that We shall dc
fcnd his administration against the chnrg
Ordinarily. it would seem proper that ,h
person making charge, should sustain
by proofs not that the party assailed sboul
first prove a negative. As you seem to ex
pect It, however, We will not shrink fror
the attempt. But we would like to know B.
what particular act the President has reru
dated the Platform. Was itby recommend
ing that Kansas be admitted as o State o
their petition, and with a constitution foru
ed by convention Of Dele gates, elected b
all the electors of that Territory, who chos
to vote !-by all who could net be deterre
from voting by the influence of such editor
papers, and politicians as Greely and Ii
New York Tribunel -..
And ss the slavery clause was oil hi
was objected to in that Constitution. ar
that too was sanctioned by oil the electol
of the Territory, who chose to vote on

object to the admission, on the ground tn

a constitution formed by convention
Delegates OF such State, that IL should

never was objected TO admission on Ii
ground, though our first constitution was n
referred to the people and but few Of Il
Constitutions of the new States have be'
thus referred and our Cincinnati Platfor
has no such plank. So wherein hos Buch
