ofutieHs- declaration of fiieir principles and
position in the Presidential contest of 1860.
ReSoiced, Thatwe herc5yre affirm the principles
announced in theplntform of the Democratic party
at Cincinnati in june, 1850.
Resotfed, That We cordially iudorse the platform
adopted by the Democratic party at Baltimore,
July 2id, lS'O, In the Convention which nominated
John c.. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane; believing
that the same contains the true and correct expla-
nation of the Cincinnati Platform, and the only
correct position of the National Democracy upon
the doctrine of non intervention.
Resotred, That the correct Interpretation of the
prmclples of non-interventiou ls--That- neither
Congress nor Territorial Legislature, whether
by direct, indirect unfriendly legislation, has
the Fi.sht Or the poweE to annal or impair the Con-
stitutonaf right of any citizen of the United States
to take his property of whatever character into
the common Territories, and hold the same there
While The Territorial condition remains.
Isesolred,, That all citizens of the United States
have equal right to settle with their property in
the Territories, and that under the decision of the
Supreme court in the Dred Scott case which we
recognize as a true and correct exposition OF the
powers reposed in Congress over the Territories.
Neither Congress nor Territorial Legislatures can
Interfere With or impair chat rlSht.
Resoired, That regarding the decision OF the Su-
preme Court as binding upon all departments OF
the Government, il is the duty OF the Democratic
party to resist all attempts TO commit that party
to the doctrine that the Territorial Legislature,
contrary 10 any decision which may be, or has
been, rendered by that Court, may discriminate
either in relation to persons or properly IN the
Territories. which are the common possessions OF
the United States, as to give advantages 70 the
citizens of one State, which are not equally as
sured to tiose Of every other state.
ReSolred, That the old and well established doct-
rine of the Democratic party, OF " Irlncples, not
Men. - is superior TO, and above all questions of
regularity or irregularity OF nominations fhat
as Democrats we are bound to follow where prin-
ciples and not ambitious leaders guide u.s. and Will
eschew all coalitions, filsions or amalganations,
as subversive of all principle, and ruling feature
of corrupt aspirants whose only policy is rule or
ruin.
Resolred, That we will give our undivided and
earnest support TO the National Democratic Nom
