The DOUGLAS Platform.

We take great pleasure in giving
place to the following resolutions Of the
Democratic Douglas) Convention con-
vened at Springfield on the 4th inst. 1t
will be perceived that the Douglas men
OF Illinois, while they adhere to their
favorite son, are loyal to the Democracy.
Every Administration man in the Dem
ocratic ranks will emulate the noble ex-
ample of Judge Douglas particular
friends in Congress, 1.-THE Illinois de.ega.
tion) by giving him a cordial support, il
he be the nominee of the Charleston
Convention. Let wooIly headed Re-
pubicans talk as they please, the Dem
ocracy are determined to beat the Abo-
litionizedRcpublican party in the con-
test Of 1860. Here are the resolutions.
and they are pretty good at that:
PLATFORM
WHEREAS, The Democra ic artv as
sembled in National Convention at Gin.
cinnati in June, 1856, by the unanimous
vote of all the delegates from every state
in the Union, adopted a platform of
principles, as the only authoritative ex-
position of Democratic doctrines, which
remains unaltered and unalterabIe until
the meeting Of the Charleston Convcn-
ton;
AND WHEREAS, We have good reas
ons for the belief, that if we depart from
the doctrines of that platform by at
tempting to force upon the party new
issues and tests, the Democracy of the
several states may never be able to agree
upon another platform Of principles with
the same unanimity;
AND WHEREAS, The Democratic partv
is the only political organization which
can maintain in their purity the princi-
Piles Of selfgovernment, for reserved
nights of the states, and the perpetuity of
the Union under the Constitution
AND WHEREAS. The unity, integrity
snd supremacy ofths Democratic party
uePeno upon it, faithful adherence to
nose fundamental principles upon which
We have achieved 20 manv c,o,;or.
triumphs, and to which We are .olemnl.
and lrrevocably plegded. Therefore
Hesolced, That the Democracy Of
Illinois, in State Convention assembled
do reassert and affirm the Ciucinn.t;
Platform, in the words, spirit, aud mean.
ing with which the same was adontad
understood and ratified by the neonla ~
1855, :nd DO reject and utterly repudiate
oil such new Issues aud tests a. the re-.
vival Of the. African slave trade, or !.
congressional slave code for the territor.

Clay,s Appeal.

In the United States Senate, in Feb
ruary, 1899, Henry Clay concluded a
speech on the slavery question in the
following swords OF wisdom" We have
published them before, but they will
bear persual q thousand times:
"lf one dark spot exists on our polti-
cal horizon, 10 it not obscured by the
bright and effulgent, and cheering light
that beams 81 around us9 Was ever a
people before 20 blessed a. we are, if
true to ourselves? Did ever any other
nation contain within its bosom so many
elements of prosperity, of greatness, and
of glory! Our only real danger lies
ahead, conspicuous, elevated and visa
BILE. 1t was clearly discerncd at the
commencement, and seen distinctly
throughout our whole career. Shall we
wantonly run upon it, and destroy all
the glorious anticipations of the high
destlny that awaits us? l beseech the
abolitionists themselves, solemnly to
pause in their mad and fatal course
Amid the infinite variety of objects Of
humanity and benevolence which invite
the employment Of their energies, let
them select some one more harmless,
that does not threaten t. deluRe our
country in blood.
| call upon that small portion of tho
clergy, which has lent itself to these
wild and ruinous schemes, not to forget
the holy nature of the divine mission of
the founder Of our religion, and to prof
it by his peaceful examples. l entreat
that portion Of my countrywomen who
have given their countenancc to aboli-
ton, to remember that they are ever
most loved and honcred when moving
in their own appropriate and delightful
sphere; ane TO reflect that the ink
which they shed in subscribing with
their fair hands abolition petitions, may
prove but the prelude to the shedding
Of the blood of their brethren. l allure
oil the inhabitants of the free States to
rebuke and discountenance, by their
opinion and their example, measures
which must inevitably lead to the most
calamituous consequences. And let Us
al, a. countrymen, as friends, and ~
brother, cherish, in unfading memory,
the motto which bore our ancestors tri.
umPhantly through all the trials of the
revolution, ~ if adhered to, it will con-
duct their prosperity through all that
may, In the dispeusation of Providence.
be reserved for them"

ers, in and out of Congress and for this
reason any law abiding people should
not be satisfied with the disavowal OF
disapproval by the Republican leaders Of
John Browns acts, unless they also re-
pudiate the DOCTRINES and TEACHINGS
which produced those moustroua crimes,
and denounce all persons who profess to
sympathize with murderers and traitora,
lsmenting their fate and generating their
memory as martyrs who lost their lives
in just and holy cause.
Resolved, That the delegates repre-
scnting Illinois in the Charleston Con-
vention be instructed to vote for and use
all honorable means to secure the re-
adoption Of the platform, without any
additions or substractions.
Res0lvea, That no honorable man

should be recognized as q member Of
the Democratic party, who will not
abide the decisions of such Convention
and support ito nominees.
Rssolved, That We affirm and repeat

2lst day Of April, 1858, and will not

Of Stephen A. Douglas for the next
