i The following are the important resolu-
tions of the Platform: M ..sr.. ..a...
ResoIued, That having testified against
the conquest of the Southern States In vain,
we will make another effort to save the lib
critics of the citizens of the State of Ohio,
now In danger of being as effectually de-
stroyed as those OF Virginia and South
| Carolina, according to the eternal law OF
| Gods universe, that whoever does injustice
shall suffer injustice.
T. Resolued, That all the destructive subter-
| fuges for depressing the Southern States
by compelling forcible union with them
by the devastation of their property and
lives by war upon them; by the injurious
emancipation of negro slaves; by the at
tempt to obtrude our will as their law, in
Civil Rights bills and Freedmen's Bureau
bills, and constitutional provisions TOR al
tering the basis of representation from pop
ulatiOn to voters; and by the degradation
of the army, all from hatred of the slave
holder, has recoiled on our own heads. The
Yankee States have long since, by the same
devious policy differently expressed, bound
the Western Samson of the Mississippi Val
ley with green withes; but having slain his
Southern friends and neighbors, they are
now shackling him with iron, which In his
thOughtless strength he has been bringing
for others.
Resolued, That the Republican party /,
an unconstitutional party, and has always
been so, for it has sought to establish by the
aid OF mere najorities, irrespective of the
Constitution, the permanent inequality OF
the States, and that we make square and
direct issue with all its chiefs and all It's
principles.
At its very birth it claimed to monopolize
the lands in the Territories won by the COM
mon blood and treasure, and It wrested
them to itself, by the aid of the Northwest
ern Democracy.
Next, It placed itself on the side of capi-
tai against labor in both Southern and
Northern States by its bank and tariffs for
plundering industry.
Next, Invent to war on pretense Of aveng-
ing the wrongs of slavery, but really to
drive off our Southern allies and to divide
{ the free trade force, so that Eastern capital
should divide hundred per cent. on its
manufactures.
3 Next, it intends permanently to seize the
Government by keeping out the Southern
States, when proposing conditions ofadmis-
sion too repugnant for acceptance.
Next, it will transform the system into
military despotism, consolida ed at the
East; but guarding and garrisoning the
West and South with soldiers. The ascen-
dancy Of that party means the subjugation
of the people Of the Western as well as the
free institutions. The sacrifice of the negro
slave is only the antecedent of the ruin of
other labor, and the farmers and producers
will soon find that their pretended friends
have doubled their burthens and divided
their profits. Hundreds of bankers and
mill owners, and iron masters, and shoddy
contractors, and bond-holders, and political
hacks will each be able te bid millions for
the Presidency, having wrung the money
from the hard earnings of the people.
The State Sovereignty Democracy will
oppose all present and prospective inequal-
ity of the States, sought to be established
by any law or laws, in lieu of the equality
OF the Constitution. We waut all of them
in due time in their places.
ResoEued, That it takes interested men
like Sprague and Simmons Of Rhode Island,
Wilson and Sumner Of Massachusetts, Nor
rill of Maine, and Stevens of Pennsylva-
mia, to be sealed to the odious tariff system
which has broken our necks worse than an
ox-yoke these forty years. None but the
wilfully blind can shut their eyes to the ne
cessity of free trade in the products Of hu-
man labor. The direct tax on the cotton
and tobacco fields of the South is breach
OF the Constitution, which protects our
own corn and wheat fields, which will soon
contain as many tax -gatherers as mowers
and reapers. The State Of Ohio should put
herself into the breach, for she has already
suffered as much from the cunning use OF
temperance as the South has from that of
abolition, and she is only now in time to
save what is left. If the caucus would
withdraw its members of Congress, the
Western people would sendfree trade dele
cations from every Western State.
Resolved. That the sheer force resorted to
by Stanton for the draft in defiance of all
law, had twin brother in Chase's sys-
TEN of greenbacks and so-called National
Banks. 1t was conceived and begotten In
fraud upon the Eastern banking system,
and started by devoting all its capital, a
hundred and fifty millions, to the war fund,
on promise of Government favors, and
then was deliberately sacrificed by Secre-
tary OF the Treasury who kissed dozen of
them in a New York bank parlor in order
to betray two thousand of them when ne
cessary. But we are entirely opposed to the
whole corporation paper money system,
which is the tayorfte vice Of the United
States and which Is the nucleus of the rail-
road, manufacturing and insurance compa-
nies, a feudal dynasty to which the produc-
ers, whether farmers, planters or mechanics,
are tributary. The banking system Is scontra-
ry to all notions of equality, the bankers be-
ing privileged order to all notions of
economy and responsibility, the bankers
being wasteful, luxurious, and not person
ally liable for their debts; to all notions of
justice, the bankers monopoliziDg our cred
it for nothing, and lending 1t to borrowers
at heavy interest instead of lending their
own money; and, finally, compelling the
Governments Of the States to take their pa
per promises on deposit for taxes. By pc
