tits, by no means, our purpose, in
this article, to make a, close, analysis
of the noble and patriotic declaration
of principles, made by the recent Con,

of the Republic, generally, will, OF
course, read and study that immortal
document for themselves. Z
Theiplatfofn is 'radient ana glori-

principles Of Constitutional Liberty.
Althoughca modern production its
general style-its bold declaration of
principles, founded upon the eternal
basis Iof Truth, Justice and Liberty!
and thea rich wien Of burning eloo
quence and patriotism that runs
through the whole, pure and precious;
as a chain Of gold set, with diamonds
= reminds JUS, forcibly, of those never
dying State papers and declarations OF
sentiment made by the noble Patriots

light which heralds the approach of
the s 81 eff, Liberty Like the beautie
full bow of promise, which God him
self arched upon the retreating clouds
of the great deluge, this noble declara-

The Platform is the product of wis
dom, concession, and a generous rival
ny, on the part of all sections, as tof
who can do most towards the great
and glorious organization of all true
lovers of liberty in opposition to the |
corrupt and sordid gang of tyrants
who have usurped the government and
established in this lovely land Of ours,
a terrible military despotism, utterly
subversive of every principle of con,
stitutional liberty, and destructive Of
that beautiful theory of republican
government announced by the great
and good men ofthe old time, and I'm
der the spirit Of which this nation &C
luired happiness,prosperity and gloryl
The platform announcesnnothing I
but plain PRINCIPLES of liberty, immu-
5able and true; and hence all men of
all political antecedents can supports
without any sacrifce7of principle. 1t
course of policy intended
md well calculated to restore liberty,
aw, order and happiness to our OPP
pressed and suffering nation; and
renee every man who loves liberty

ism, ViU support II with unfaltering
ervency and zeal. The platform, like.
"a cloud by day and pillar Of fire BY |
light" stands before our eyesias a
acred sign to lead US. from the land of
to thepfomised land of liber-
y. Forward, friends of the Constitu- /
ion! One bold charge by the grand
Democratic army, along the whole
line, is al that is needed to
verthrow the enemy, and hurl them
0 those low depths of discontinue (
nd eternal infamy which they de- .
