Erastus Brooks ofN. T., did not propose to
discuss the merits Of candidates or platforms---
| He thought the illusions made this 2. M. pres
mature and unfortunate. Speaking for the sew
enty delegates from New York, be desired to
say he wanted no platform but the Constitution,
! interpreted by the constituted authorities-s
He trusted they would take such action that
neither the extremists of the North or South
would be permitted to administer the Govern
ment. 1t is wise to learn by experience to be
just and tolerant towards each ather. Expert
enco showed that party platforms we're inveh-
ted to drive the people to wear one face at the
North and another at the South. The true
platform was,the Constitution, as interpreted by
the judicial authorities Whatever they did,
should be done dcehtly, and in order. .s
Heargued the appointment ofa general comA
mittee to received all ex,epressions Of opinion,
and make report, which he believed would
he unanimous. The people of the country are
heart sick Of what are called party platforms.
At Charleston the Democracy literally denoun-
ced their own progeny. In New York the ReA
publicans had two classes, one Conservative, in
favor OF the fugitive slave law; and address
themselves to merchants and ths manufacture
! ing classes. Another class who preached the
higher law in the Rural Districts. He conclu-
by motion, that the rules of the House Of
| Representative be adopted as far asIthey were
applicable for the government of the Cunven-
ton. All the pending resolutions were adop-
| ted.
