Our Platform.

Let the Southern people be sure to
produce, as they easily can, an abundant
supply of provisions, manufacture their
own timber and iron into all the imple-
ments they need, spin aud weave all the
cotton they consume, and let only the
surplus of the staple, if any, pass over
to Lowell and Manchester, to be paid
for in hard cash Let them do whatever
may be necessary to secure free Rep,g1b-
licau State Government, and stehdily
refuse, by any debasing compliances, to
purchase the privilege of enjoying their
Constitutional rights in the Federal
Union. So employed, let them man
fully meet whatever destiny may be in
store for them, secure at least in the
possession of their own self respect =
