Regular Democratic Platform.

The following is the Platform adopted by the
National Democratic Convention at Charleston
Resolved, That we, the Democracy of the
Union in Convention assembled, hereby declare
our affirmation of the resolutions unanimously
adopted and declared as platform of princi-
Piles by the Democratic Convention at Cincin-
natl in the year 1885, 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 inasmuch as differences of opinion exist
in the Democratic party as to the nature and
extent of the powers ofa Territorial Legislature,
and as to the powers and duties of Congress,
under the Institution of the United States,
over the Institution of slavery within the Terri
tories
Resolped, 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.
ResolUed, 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.
Resolced, That one of the necessities OF the
age, in military, commercial and postal point
Of view, is speedy communication between the
L
party pledge such constitutional enactment as
will insure the construction of railroad to the
Pacific coast at the earliest practicable period
Resolred, 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.
Resolred That the enactments of State Legs-
latures to defeat the faithful execution of the
Fugitive Slave Law are hostile in character
subyersive of the constitution and revolutionary
in their effect
At Baltimore the Convention adopted thi
additional resolution, making it also a part o
the regular Platform
RESOLVED, That it is in accordance with tn
Cincinnati platform, that during the existenc
of Territorial Governments the measures of re
striction, whatever the may be, imposed by tn
Federal Constitution on the power of the Terri
torial Legislature, over the subject of the do
mestic relations, as the same has been, or sha
hereafter be, finally determined by the Supre. n
Court of the United States, should be respecte
by all good citizens, and enforced with prompt
ness and fidelity by every branch of the Gen
eral Government

A Question for BreckinridXers to
Answer.

Is there friend of the secession or disunjon
candidates in this county, who will lay his hand
upon his heart and declare his belief that Frank
Washington, Collector of Customs Frank TIL
ford, Naval Officer; Chas. Weller, Postmaster ;
Jim. Vaudeville, U. s. Surveyor; Chas Hemp
stead, Superintendent of the Mint; Maj. Solomon,
U. S. Marshal, or any other of the twenty nine
Federal office-holders who recently issued card
calling upon the Democracy to bolt the regular
organization and oppose Douglas and Johnson
we repeat, is there one Breckinridge support
er in this county, who believes that even one OF
these Federal office-holders would be found op-
posing Douglas and johnson to-day, if the Ad-
ministration had declared for them? Does any
man believe that single one of them would
now be supporting Breckenridge and Lane If
that Z" old public functionary," " our venerable
President" Mr.. Buchanan, had made the same
stump speech in favor Of Douglas and johnson
that he uttered in behalf of the seceders candi-
dates? No. There is not SO great simpleton
to be found in Shasta county. OF ell the Fed
eral Office holders in San Francisco, but one was
found brave enough to declare for the regular
candidates. He was German, and labored un-
der the impression that this was free country,
where men were permitted the use of free speech
and the right to think for themselves on all
questions of public concernment He forgot
that that old public functionary," from long
association with crowned heads, had imbibed
and brought back to his country, and into his
exalted Office, certain kingy notions just to the
contrary of the poor Germans. Hence his head
rolled from the block, and his sweet German
accent was hushed Z" forever and day." if not
longer. Iu short, as our readers know, the free
and independent and honest German citizen was
deprived of his office because he would not sup
port men nominated by small fraction and fac
tion of the party. All the rest-a most won-
derful and suggestive unanimity-aH the rest
support Breckinridge and Lanel
yet certain OF them have the unparalleled
impudence to profess to be actuated by princ-
pies, and, in the name of Democratic principles,
to call upon honest men to follow them away
from the true Democracy and into the ranks
captained by men who for years have been ear
nestly striving for dissolution of this Union
The devil himself would blush at such an exhi-
bition of icy etfrontery. Acting from base and
sordid motive, they
:" crook the pregnant hinges of the knee,
Where thrift may follow fawnng.r
They basely betray their birthright and tram
pie upon their manhood, and grovel in the dirt
at the feet of power simply for the sake of re-
tanning possession of fat Offices few months
longer. Oh, love of Office, thop art devil, thus
to make slaves of men, high minded men,"
The Shasta courier., 1860-08-18

WoN'T BEAR ExAMINING.-The Breckinrdgers
are fond of pointing to this, that and the other
old line Democrat, who has announced himself
bolter and supporter of the seceders' candi-
dates, as justification for their desertion of tho
regular organization, the old Democratic party.
With the same propriety the few common SOL
diers who deserted from the American ranks in
the Revolution, might have pointed to Arnold
a justification. With the same propriety all
the little imps in the regions of the damned may
point to Lucifer and other ring-leaders of the
factous minority hurled over the battements of
Heaven for rebelling against the will of the ma
ioritv

NUMBER "a
A Poor Argument.

We are occasionally answered by the Breck-
nridgers, when We charge them with being
boilers, that if so, they are in very large COM
pany and then they go on to enumerate certain
Senators, Representatives, reformed Free Sellers,
(such as Gen. Dix and John Van Vuren, of New
York;, fossiliferoui remains of antiquated poll
tcians, (such, for Instance, as Dickinson, of New
York; and the many olher Democrats in the
South who are supporting Breckenridge.
Now, weak minded man-such an one, for
instance, as be made to believe that mi
nority of Convection withdraw and rem
der irregular the proceedings of the majority
may consider this logical and forcble argument
alton. Let US exanine it.
A majority of the Democratic Senators and
Congressman, say they, with all the Cabinet ard
the President and all the Federal Office holders,
together with majority of the Democratic press
of the South, are in favor of Breckenridge and
Lane-tnerefore they must be the candidates o f
the true Democracy But we reply that these
men were elected by the people before the po-
ltical issues of the present day were known
that these issues were made by these very Office
holders on one hand and Mr.. Douglas and his
supporters on the other-that the contestants
appealed to the Democratic masses who were
alone empoweredito settle this question-and
that the Democratic masses, the people, when
thus appealed to- decided in favor of Douglas,
and sent to the National Convention majority
of delegates in favor of his nomination for Pres
ident. We take this action Of the Democratic
masses in favor of Douglas, and place it side by
side of the action of Senators, Congressman and
| Federal Office holders against him. Which is
the most authoritative-the action of the peo-
| pie or of their servants? If a majority of the
Democratic Senators and Congressman are OPP
posed to Douglas, we know that majority of the
delegates to the National Convention were in his
favor and that their voice is of greater author
ity in this matter than that of Senators and
Congressman.
The Shasta courier., 1860-08-18

Blr Mr.. Buchanan says that as neither re-
ceved a two thirds vote of the delegates, that
Democrats are at liberty to vote for either can
didate.-Plumas Standard.
Yes, but just so soon as a citizen filling Fed
era office declares himselSin favor of Douglas,
Mr. Buchanan sets the political guillotine to
work, and off goes his head That is exactly
the sort o." liberty" that the Plug Uglies
of Baltimore allow their political enemies
Gentlemen" say they, "you are at liberty to
vote, as you please; walk up and put in your
ballots,-but remember veil smash your mouths
and cave In the top of your heads while you are
doing it." So says that..'old public functiouary."
Addressing his army of office holders he says,
" Gentlemen, there is no regular nomination,
therefore you can vote for whom you please
but remember, if you vote against my choice,
" off goes your head off

In Memoriam.
BY F. W. BALLARD.
She is not dead,
But sleeps
Beside her cradle bed,
My memory keeps
The vigil sad.
Awake, my child!
Awake
IT'S long since thou hast smiled;
NV heart will break
Unless beguiled.
No voice replies
Her lips
Naught echo to my cries!
In life's eclipse
She silent lies.
That brow is cold
Those eyes
No more my face behold.
Alas she lies
Within deaths fold.
She dwells with God.
Her feet,
With heavenly sandals shod,
Traverse the street
By angels trod.
Then let her sleep
Her dreams
Are bliss. Dear Savior, keep
Near Eden,s streams
The lamb we weep
