Nevada City, Sept Sth, 1860. in accordance with
time honorcd custom, do adopt the following res
olutons as declaration of their principles and
position in the Presidential contest of 1860.
LcsoitVd, That we hereby re affirm the principles
announced in the Platform of the Democratic Party
at Cincinnati in June. 1856.
Resoired, Thatwe cordially indorsc the Platform
adopted by the Democratic Party at Baltimore,
July 23d lSi9, i'll the Convention which nominated
JOHN c. BRkCkINRIDGI; and josErII LA%E; be-
lcying that the same contains the true and correct
explanation of the Cincinnati Platform, and the
only correct position of the National Democracy
upon the doctrine of Non Intervention.
Re-OIteI, That the correct Interpretation Of the
principles of un-Intervention is-That neither
Congress nor a Territorial Legislature, whether
by direct, indirect or unricndy Legislation, has
the right the power to annul or impair the Con
stltutiOn right of any citizen of the United States
to take his property, of Whatever character, into
the common Territories, and hold the same there
while the Territorial condition remains.
Resolred, That all citizens of the United Siatos
have an equal right to settle with their property
in the Territories, and that under the decision Of
the supreme Court, in the Drcd Scott case, which
we recognize as true and correct exposition of
thcpow'rs rcposed in Congress over the Terrific
ries. neither Congress nor Territorial Lcgisla
lures can Interfere with or impair that right
Resoire5, That re%ardingthe decision of the Su-
prcmc Court as binding upon all departments of
the Government, q ii is the duty Of the Democratic
Party to resist all attempts to commit that party
to the doctrine that the Territorial Legislature,
contrary to any decision which may be, or has
been rendered by that Court, may discriminate
either in relation TO persons or property III the
Territories, which are the common possessions Of
the United States, 50 as to give advantages 20 the
citizens Of one State, which are not equally as
sured to those of every other State.
