cratic State convention to be holden in Bangor On

COMMITTEES o. r6solutions, reported the following
which were unanimously adopted: ss,,s.s5s
Resolped That we accord to the Administration
of James Buchanan, as the faithful exponent of
democratic principles our united and cordial sup
port
Reso,ped That we adhere to the Cincinnati plat
form as it is and repudiate any new doctrine that
denies the equal right of the citizens Of the several
States to take their property into the common Ter
ritories and hold it there during their territorial
existence.
Resolred, That we are heartily in favor Of the
early acquisition of Cuba believing it to be mea-
of vital importance to State and the coun-
try at large.
At the meeting in Veazie:
Resolced, That we take pride in reaffirming the
Cincinnati platform, which imbodies, in plain and
simple language, those cardinal principles on which
the democratic party have fought their battles and
their victories for three score years and ten,
and that we Eeither ask nor desire of our coming
State convention any Interpretation of any of its
resolves
Resolced, That in James Buchanan we have q
Chief Magistrate who is worthy and illustrious
successor to that high place once filled by Jetfer-
son and jackson.
Resolced, That we most cordially approve Of the
efforts made by our National Administration to ac-
quire the Island of Cuba, and our prayer is that
those efforts may be crowned with speedy success.
Resolced, That our delegates are hereby directed
to give their votes for delegates to the Charleston
convention, to men thoroughly national in their
views and feelings who will rather seek to unite the
different sections of vast country than to widen
the breach between them by assuming doubtful
positions on the miserable distractions the ques-
ton of slavery in the territories.
At the meeting at Sangerville:
Resolred, That, as national democrats, we fully
sustain and endorse the Cincinnati PLATFORM without
dotting an or crossing t.
Resotred That we are in favor of the acquisition
of Cuba
Resokred That we have the fullest confidence in
the integrity and wisdom of James Buchanan, and
with pride and cordially we endorse his Admins
tratiOn.
