The above platform Of principles. adopted
BY the State Convention Of the PeopIe's
Party, meets with our most hearty approval
and support. The candid, unequivocal POI
sition taken upon the important questions
and issues, which should deman the atten>
ton Of every citizen, cannot fail of com
mending this platform TO the favorable con-
sidcration Of every man, irrespective o.
party affiliations. They are those broad
comprehensive, democratic principles upon
which the rights and liberties Of the people
are based. They challenges the scrutiny o
every thinking man. There 10 no eqeivoca
ton in them. They who run may read
and reading. cannot mistake their import.
