Mr.. Breckinridge,s Youth.

Some months since we remarked incidentally
that Mr.. Breckinridge's age was an objection
TO his friends pressing his name at this time
for the Presidency.
1t is we'll known that Mr.. Breckenridge was
not the first choice of the Register. A favorite
son of our own great State would have been
our standard-bearer, could the Register have
decided the matter. But in the failure of our
first choice, few papers have greater reason to
be satisfied than the Register. Our first choice
for the Vice-Prcsidency has been nominated.
This is certainly no small cause Of satisfaction;
for VIC do not share the common view which
regards the vice-Presidency as Of little impor-
lance. True, 1t is second to the Presidency /;
but second only to that exalted office. Our
satisfaction should be greater, since we were
almost alone in this suggestion. Indeed, so
far as we know, we were entirely alone. The
Rsyiaer was the only paper which advocated
General Joseph Lanes name without waver-
ing) for the Presidency.
But specifically respecting Mr.. Breckinridge,
we ought to be, and ore, abundantly satisfied.
We have heartily endorsed his nomination, and
shall strennously and firmly continue to advo-
cate him for the Presidency. We are decidedly
and entirely a Breckinridge man. True, we
did say his youth was an objection; but we
did not mean that he was too young in the
sense of lacking attachments or experience
By no means! Mr.. Breckenridge is far above
the reach Of any such reflection. Some mer
are older at forty, as far as capacity and power
ore concerned, than others are at sixty. Mr.
Breckinridge is one Of these fortunate old
young men. Deeply versed in the history and
science Of politics and government, thorough,
imbued with the great principles Of NATIONAL
DEMOCRACY" and with genius to divine, ant
power to perform, far above the average Q
men he is fully furnished for, and adequat
to, oil The high duties Of The Presidency. Thi
is our estimate of the man now, and it wa
. our estimate when we wrote the sentence whicl
D so deeply exercised Douglasite of this Vi
cinity. With us Democracy is no new thing
marked It's path Of triumph, and then "
4 thought of the gallant old chiefs who had lie
our brave hosts in these great struggles. W
looked to the standard bearers who had stoo
u firm In q thousand scenes of strife and carnage
!. ,who amid the din of conflict and above Ii
smoke of battle, had proudly borne in safet
our time-honored banner. We thought of thes
great and venerable men, large Of soul an
strong of arm, and we could not help feelin
ia THAT some one Of them should he the leader
!. our hosts in this mighty struggle.
But enough Of this. Our gallant leader hi
distinguished himself as soldier, patri,
and statesman, and the friends of the Const
I Tuition will with an overpowering force, be,
Q him in triumph to the Presidential chair. ]
e the election Of John q. Breckenridge, trr

Platform Of the National De-
mOCrACy.

Resolved, That the platform adopted by the
Democratic party at Cincinnati be affirmed,
with the following explanatory resolutions;
FTst-That the government Of Territory
organized by an act Of Congress is provisional
and temporary, and during its existence all
citizens of the United. States have an equal
o. 9qS!Iscttle with their property in the Terri
tory, without their rights, either of person or
property, being destroyed or injured by Con-
gressional or territorial legislation.
Resoloed-That it is the duty Of the federal
government, in all its departments, to protect
the rights of persons and property in the Terri
tories, and wherever else its constitutional au-
thority entends.
Ihird-That when the settlers in a Territory,
having an adequate population, form State
constitution, the rigt Of sovereignty common
ces and being contaminated by their admission in
to the Union, they stand on an equality with the
people of other States, and State thus organ
lied ought to be admitted into the federal
Union, whether its constitution prohibits or
recognizes the institution of slavery.
Resolued, That the Democratic party are in
favor of the acquisition of the island Of Cuba,
on such terms as shall be honorable to our
selves and just to Spain at the earliest practi-
cable moment.
| Resolred, That the enactments of State Lcgis-
latures to defeat the faithful execution of the
Fugitive Slave Law are hostile IN character,
subversive OF the Constitution. and revolution
airy in their effect.
Resolped, That the Democracy Of the United
States recognize it as the imperative duty OF
this government to protect the naturalized citi-
zens, whether at home or in foreign lands to
the same extent as its native born citizens.
Whereas; One of the greatest necessities Of
the age, in political, commercial, postal and
military point Of view, is a speedy communi
cation between the Pacific and the Atlantic
coast threfore be it
Resolved, That the national Democratic party
do here by pledge themselves to use every
means in their power to secure the passage Of
some bill, to the extent Of their constitutional
authority, by Congress, for the construction
of Pacific Railroad from the Mississippi River
to the Pacific Ocean, at the earliest practicable
moment.
+" The assumption Chat The inhabitants of q
Territory have the right Of sclfgovernmcnD is
utterly unfounded, unconstitutional, without
| example and contrary to the entire practice
of the government from its commencement TO
the present time"
