ClNCINATTI PLATFORM =
adopted June 1856.

energy Of purpose, the well-considered decla-
rations OF former Conventions upon the Sec
tioual issue Of domestic Slavery, and concern.
| ing the reserved rights of the States:
l. That Congress has no power, under the
Constitution, to interfere with or control the
domestic institutions of the several States,
and that such States are the sole and proper
Judges Of everything appertaining to their
own affairs not prohibited by the Constitution;
that all efforts Of the Abolitionists or others,
made to interfere with questions of slavery,
or to take insipient steps in violation thereto,
| are calculated to lead to the most Alarming
| and dangerous consequences; and that all
! such efforts have an inevitable tendency to
diminish the happiness of the people and en-
| danger the stability and permanency of the
Union, and ought not to be countenanced by
| any friend Of our political institutions.
2. That the foregoing proposition covers
and was intended to embrace the whole snb-
jcct Of Slavery agitation in Congress; and
| therefore thu Democratic party of the Union,
| by, and adhere to, faithful execution of the
acts known as the Compromise Measures,
settled by the Congress Of 1859, the "Act for
Rsclaiming Fugitives from Service or Labor"
| included: which act being designed to carry
| out an express provision of the Constitution,
can not with fidelity thereto be repealed, or
so changed as to destroy or impair it's eficisn-
cy.

attempts at renewing, IN Congress or out OF
it, the agitation Of the slavery question, under
whatever shape or color the att:mpt may be
made.

1898, and on the report of Mr. Madison, to

adopts those principles as constituting one of
| the raain foundatisns of its political creed,
| and is resolved to carry them out in their oh
vious meaning and import. ~"
And that we may more distinctly meet the

exclusively On Sisvery agitation, now relies.
to test the fidelity Of the North and South, to

corning domestic slavery, which seek to en-
broil the States, and to incitc to treason and
