tee etif PLATFORM. l-
Rcsolred, L. That while dsunion doctrines are
proclaimed in the Halls of Congress by the Democ
racy. and disunion purposes openly avowed, we
point with pride to the fact that not single Re-
publican either in Congress or in the the walks o.
private life--not single Republican press--not
single Republican orator--not single Republican
convention, has avowed any design against the in
tegrity of the Union. even should the present Ad
ministraton and its corrupt policy be perpetuatet
by the vote of the people. " s s,s4
2. That we are opposed to the new and danger
Gus doctrine advocated BY the Democratic party
that the Federal Constitution carries slavery into
the public Territories; that believe slavery
not exist anywhere in this Government unless by
positive local law, and that we will oppose its ex

rnent by all the power known to the Constitution
of the United States. s.e .fs-.I ,,s.l ..,e-

6. That the fscal affairs of the State of Indian:
have been badly Hianas;ed- That State officer
have been shown to be dfiaulters to large amounts
and suffered to go unprosecuted. That larg,
amounts of the public moneys have been squandcr
ed to enrich officials and partisan favortes, AM
that when the representatives of the people sough
to stop those speculations, by the passage Of al
I"Embcxzlement BilI,'' the Governor of the Stat
vetoed that bill, and thus kept the doors of tn
Treasury opened to be further robbed by dishoncs
partizans. t'.e .ase.fl's i1elisla is't,f- 81
