SITTING THE FIGUREs-As the slavery rest,ic
honists are endeavoring to make il appear that the
Democratic party, recently represented Il
Charleston, favored their phase Of freesoiism in
adopting the platform reported by the minority
OF the Platform Committee we republish from
the Richmond Enquirer the following ANALYSIS OF
the vote on the platform question: which dis.
proves, conclusively, the argument of the Doug
lastes, that the Democracy have at length become
an anti-savery party:
" Nevertheless, il is clearly apparent that the
proposal for compromise received a snpport in
the Convention, much larger than couId possi his,

sovereignty. vi '''
Even with this advantage against the advo-
Gates OF equal protection, the test of Democratic
strength was Overwhelmingly I'm their favo, IN
