1t is not at all certain that either Mr.,
MERRITT or Nj. s.DxwEY will accept the po.
sisions to which they have thus been assign-
ed upon the Secession ticket, but if they
should accept, and the ticket as thus arrang
ed, should appear to any Union man a
worthy Of his support, We would ask him to
cut out and paste 10 his hat, for convenie nee
references, the following extract from the
Mahony Platform, to which those accepting
a nomination upon that ticket, do necessarily
subscribe:
Resolved That we regard. the present condition Of
the country the civil in which the people are en-
gagged the e,rt 10 dismcmber tho Union aud all the
eoncomitant evils which afiict MS asa Nation as the
legitimate result Of the successful TRACKING OF the doc
trne and policy the sIrrcprcssible Confcti" doc
trne and policy which arrsyed Northern sentiment
in autagouism to the Coasf~fonsl rights ef fhe pee
pie Of the Sfare Sfafes and which proissin an rrs
pressble and unceasins hostility TO the domestic in
situations Of our brethren eff the SoafA.
Resolved. That our Union formed in peace, ana
can nsver be perpesaated by force arms, and fhai
q Republican aopernmenf held together blythe srord

Rssolyed That the Democratic party is in favor Of
fairand equitable COMPROMISE Of the unhappy dif-
acutcs that exist the general and
the Confederate States But should the Confederatj
states refuse peaceabs aud equitable adjustment o.
our National difficulties. then we pledge ourselves

! Federal Government.
Resoiped That the Indebtedness Of the State
cecds the limits fixed by the Constitution and that the
