ehusetts, for the purchase and sale
Of wool on commission-the firm
advancing one-half or thirds Of
The supposed value of the wool taken
in by them to be sold. A Mr.. War
rem of Pittsfield, Saratoga county,
lin this State, let Perkins and Brown
have large quantity Of wool, upon
which P. & B. made advances; the
price Of wool soon went down, and
P. & B. claimed that they had ad-
vanced Mr.. Warren some $1,000
more than the value OF the wsol they
had of him; they brought suit against
Mr.. Warren for alleged Overplus ad-
vanced; Mr.. Warren set up that he
sold the wool outright TO plaintiffs,
and that it was not sale on COM

The Democratic Platform Approved
by The SQuatler Candidates.

The only clauses 10 the platform
reported to the Democratic National
Convention, at Charleston, by the
majority Of the Committee on Reso-
lutions, and unanimously adopted at
Baltimore by the Convention which
nomiuatsd Messrs Breckenridge and
Lane, which relate to slavery in the
Territories, or have been called 10
question by the Douglasites, are the
following:
First, That the government Of
a Territory, organized by an act Of
Congress. is provisional and tempo
rary, and during its existence all
citizens of the United States have
an equal right to settle with their
property in the Territory without
their rights Of either person or prop.
erty being destroyed or impaired by
Congressional orT erritorial legislation.
Second, That il is the duty Of
the Federal Government in ell its
departments to protect, when nsoes-
sary, the rights Of persons and prop
erty in the Territories, and wherever
else its constitutional authority ex-
tends.
Third, That when the settlers
in a Territory, having m adequate
population, form State Constitution,
the right of sovereignty commences,
and being consummated by admission
into the Union, they stand on an
equal footing with the people of other
Stases-and the State thus organ
lied ought to be admitted into the
Federal Union, whether its cous!itu-
ton prohibits or recognizes the IN
stitution Of slavery.
All the charges Of abandoning the
doctrine Of non-intervention snd as
serting the power and duty of Con-
gress to pass "slave CODE" for the
Territories, with which the squatters
have been equally busy with the
Black Republicans, are founded on
these three staple propositions. We
assert that they contain nothing in
consistent with the doctrine of nom
Intervention the Cincinnati plat
form, nor any other authoritative ex.
preston of the Democratic party, |
but are in entire accordance with the
whole party record on the subject.
They contain not the slightest asser-
ton orrecognition Of the poverof Con-
gress over slavery iu the Territories,
to establish or prohibit-to extend,
limit or regulate it. They simply
affirm tse equality of rights pertsin.
ing to the citizens Of the several
States, as regards their settling in
The Territories with their property,
free from Congressional or Territorial
interference; the duty Of the Federal {
Government to protect the rights of
persons and property whenever it
has constitutional authority, and :
hat on forming a State Constitution :

heir sovereign power and have The e
chit to either prohibit or establish 9
