Regular Democratic Platform.

The following is the Platform adopted by the
National Democratic Convention at Charleston
Resolred That we, the Democracy of the
Union In Convention assembled, hereby declare
our affirmation of the resolutions unanimously
adopted and declared platform of princi-
pies by the Democratic Convention at Cincin-
natl IN the year 1856, believing that Democratic
principles are Interchangeable in their nature
when applied to the same sui ject matter, and
we recommend as our only further resolutions
the following
That nasmuch as differences of opinion exist
in the Democratic party as to the nature and
extent of the powers off Territor Il Legislature
and as to the powers and duties of Congress-
under the Constitution of the United States,
over the institution of slavery within the Terri
tories:
Resolced, That the Democratic party will
abide by the decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States over the institution of slavery
within the Territories.
Resotued, That it is the duty of the United
States TO afford ample and complete protection
to all its citizens, at home or abroad and wheth-
er native or foreign born.
Resotced, That one of the necessities oe the
age in a military, commercial and postal point
Of view, is speedy communication between the
Atlantic and Pacific States, and the Democratic
party pledge such constitutional enactment as
will insure the construction of railroad to the
Pacific coast at the earliest practicable period.
Resolved, That the Democratic party are in
favor of the acquisition of the Island of Cuba,
on such terms as shall be honorable to ourselves
and just to Spain.
Resolped, That the enactments of State Legis-
atures to defeat the faithful execution of the
| Fugitive Slave Law are hostile in character
subversive of the constitution and revolutionary
| in their effect.
At Baltimore the Convention adopted this
additional resolution, making it also part Of
the regular Platform:
| Resolued, That it is in accordance with the
Cincinnati platform, that during the existence
| of Territorial Governments, the measures of re.
striction, whatever the may be, imposed by the
Federal Constitution on the power of the Terri
torial Legislature, over the subject of the do
mestic relations, as the same has been, or shall
hereafter be, finally determined by the Supre.a
Court of the United States, should be respected
by all good citizens, and enforced with prompt
ness and fidelity by every branch of the Gen
J eral Government

fort said-"And must | die? Will not my

if that would prolong my life. Alas there is
no bribing DEATH
An English nobleman said" have a splen-
did passage to the grave | die in State and
languish under glded canopy | am expiring
on soft and downy pillows, and am respectfully
attended by my servants and physicians my
dependents sigh ; my sisters weep; my father
bends beneath load of grief and years my
lovely wife pale and silent, coneeas her inmost
agony ; my friend who was as my own soul,
suppresses his sighs and leaves me, to hide his
secret grief. But 0 which of them will bail me
from the arrest of death Who can descend
into the dark prison of the grave with me? Here
they all leave me, after having paid few idle
ceremonies to the breathless clay which may lie
reposing in state, while my soul, the only con-
scious part, may stand trembling before my
Judge"
The celebrated Tallyrand on his death bed,
was visited by Louis Philippe, King of the
French Z" How do you feel ?" said.the king.
The answer was, "Sre, | am suffering the pangs

Sir Thomas Scott said" Until this moment

hell Now know and feel that there are both,
and am doomed to perdition by the Just iudg-
ment of the Almighty"
rich man when dying was informed by his
physician that he should prepare for the worst
Cannot live week." "No," said the doc
tor, "you will probably continue but little
while" "Say not so" said the dying man al
will give you hundred thousand dollars ii you
will prolong my life three days." but in less
than an hour he was dead.

The Man that Treats.


a rule in wisdom given,
Whose worth each day repeats,
Is this: to trust in Heaven,
And drink with 81 the man that treats"
How vain all doubt or shrinking,
When the ear the summons greets,'
And each foaming glass is clinking
With the glass of g the man that treats"
For with kind thoughts unnumbered,
Each heart responsive beats,
Whose finer feelings slumbered,
Till reused by the man that treats"
What's Doug, or Breck., or Lincoln
Whether honest men or cheats?
There's but one sound way of thinking
And that's with " the man that treats.n
Away with these prosy grumblers,
That everywhere one meets
It's give me the full size tumblers,
And nod from +" the man that treats.n
Oh, life like a fash is going,

Was Douglas Nominated by a Two
Third Vote!

In a review of the pronunciamento of the
San Franciscan Custom House and other Office
holders, the Marysville Democat thus disposes Of
one of their miserable misrepresentation
Their last and final ground of attack on the
regularity of the Baltimore Convention is that
Douglas was not nominated by two-thirds vote
We reply that he was nominated by 2l2 votes
because his nomination was declared unani-
nous, and there were 2l2 votes in the Conven-
ton, after the Seceders left Two hundred and
twelve votes are more than two thirds of the
entire ELECTORAL vote of the Union. So Douglas
did receive a two thirds nomination. "But, u
says the immortal Twenty-one, "6efore the vote
was made unanimous, he only got 1871 votes
by ballot" Well, even then he received more
than two-thirds vote of the Democratic dele
gates, because those delegates who had bolted
could of course no longer be recognized. "But, "
say the immortal Twenty-one, "a rule was
adopted at Charleston, that no person should be
declared as nomlnted who did not receive two
thirds of all the votes that the full Convention
was entitled to cast" To this we reply, no such
rule was adopted, except for the time being and
temporary purpose, it being agreed to upon the
suppositon that those who voted for it intended
to stay in the Convention. The order which
directed that the President should not declare
any man nominated, unless he had received two
thirds of the entire vote of all the delegates
who ought to be in the Convention, was laid GA
the table, just before the adjournment to Balti-
more, and it was never taken thence. 1t lies
there still, was never revived, and has no force
or effect. 1t is therefore idle to be citing that
order or rule as these Twenty-one office holders
now do. The moment the order IN question was
laid on the table, it ceased to have any effect,
and the old rule was in force, which provided
that tao-thiads vote of the delegates present
was sufficient to nominate. Caleb Gushing, the
Seeding President, himself declares that such
was the rule, and that in order to avoid nom
ination by two-thirds of the delegates present,
instead of two-thirds of the full Convention, the
rule would have to be changed.

The question is frequently asked us
how it happens that half votes are cast
during the ballotings at Charleston. We
have seen no explanation given. but pre-
sumo the following to be warrantable
one: When the Convention was full,
there were really six hundred and six
Delegates in attendance, or two for each
vote in the Electoral College. For con
venience, the ballotings are conducted by
counting the votes of two Delegates as
one. or in other words counting one Del
egate as equal TO halfa vote.
