ian. Of the sup,cmo Court Of the United sse on the qsess
or constitutional law.
To which tho following, on motion Of Gov. Wick
Life Of La (who said it would give Douglas forty
thousand majority in LouisisDs), was aided at
Bal,imore--Mr. II. B. Payne Of Ohio moving the
Previous Question thereon:
Ress,red That accordance With the Interpretation Of the
Cincinnati Platform that during the existence Of the Territorial
Governments the Of restriction whstever may b.
imposed by the Federal Constitution the power Of the T
toral Legislatures the subject Of the domestic relations
the has been shall hereafter be- finally dserDinss By
the Supreme Court Of United States should respected by
all good citizens and enforced with prompne and adsy By
every branch Of the General Government
STATE RIGBTs-D0MEsTIC TRANQUILITY.
On this point, tho Republican Platform says:
That the maintenance nyioae Of the rights Of States and
especially the night Of each and
domestic institutions according to m udgmen, sxcludsy
essential to that balance Of which the perfecoz
and endurance poll zeal fabric depends denounos

IT. rtory no matter under what preteSt among aysat Il
crimes.
The following is part Of the Cincinnati Plat
form:
IT,, c,., Ia, no power under Constitution to interfere
and that all such States the sole and judges Of
thing sppeapg their Affairs not prohibited By the Con-
ntiop tina, all efforts Of the Abolsions others made
induce Congress interfere with questions OF Slavery 10
take ncpent steps relation thereto, calculated to lead 10
the mos. alarming and dangerous consequences srd that all nch
efforts inevitable tendency to diminsh the happiness Of
the people and anger stability and Of the
UDon be counensnced BY eny end OF our
olcal Institutions.
Tia. the foregoing proposition and intended
brace the whole subject Of Slavery agitation In Congress- and
therefore the Democratic party the Union standing on this ma
topa platform win abide by and adhere 10 faithful erecuoa

cheney.
Tbs, the Democratic party will resist al attempts at renewing
ia Congress or out the agitation the Slavery question: IN
der whatever shape color the attempt may be made

THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW.
On this point, the Breckenridge and Douglas
Platforms both read:

KANSAS AND NEBRASKA.
The r. publican Platform further says;

her people and accepted BY the House of Representative
We find nothing corresponding or replying to
these in any of the Democratic Platforms, ualess it
be given above.
THE AFRICAN sLAyE.TRADE.
The Republican Platform says of this traffic:
That we brand the reopening Of the African slave
trade under the national flag aided by peryeion
ofiudics power as crime against humanity, and burning
shame to our country and and call upon Congress 10
take prompt and ecier for the total and final sup
preston of that execrable traffic
We see nothing answering to this in any of tho
subsistng Democratic Platforms.
The following is the entire Platform of the
"Union" Convention which nominated Messrs
Bell and Everett:

The above, we believe, embodies all that is
not mere verbisge in all the National Platforms,
save some illusions to bygOnes in the Cincinnati,
and the following lefthanded compliment to Me-.
Buchanau's Administration in the Chicago;
That the presen. Democratic Administration has far exceeded
our approximations in its messueess subsrency TO the
exsctons Of econa interest," especially eyinced In Its de
psate exertions to Infamous Lecompton Constitution
upon the protesting people Of Kanas In conuug the peros
relation between master and to involve unqualified
property persons Its attempted enforcement everywhere
on through the Intervention Of Congress and Of the
Federal Courts the extreme petensons Of purely local In
eres and In its general aud unyryng abuse Of the power liz
trusted TO il by con6ding people.
Neither the Breckenridge nor the Douglas Plat
form offers anything on this head.
We have thus placed before our readers the
grounds on which the several parties now solc ling
their confidence and their suffrsges sever4lly .est
their claims to general cor 6dence and support.
