The Democratic Platform
Snomn, That the platform adopted fiy .
1h« Democratic party at Cincinnati be affirm* |
ed, with the following explanatory rcsointlons: l
1st. That the government of a territory, or- |
ganizcd by an art of Congress, Is provisional
and temporary, and, during its existence, all
citizens of the United States have an equal
Tight to settle with their property in the Ter
ritory without their rights either of person or
property being destroyed or impaired by con
gressional or territorial legislation.
2d. That it is the duty of the Federal Gov
ernment in all its departments t,o protect, when
necessary, the rights of persons and property
in the Territories, and wherever else Us con
stiti tional authority extends.
2d. That when the settlers in a Territory,
having an adequate population, form a State
constitution, the right of sovereignty commen
ces. and being consummated by admission into
the Union, they stand on an equal footing with
the people of other States—and the State thus
organized ought to be admitted into the Fed
eral Union, whether its constitution prohibits
or recognizes the institution of slavery.
4th. That the Democratic party are in favor
of the acquisition of the Island of Cuba on
•such terms as shall be honorable to ourselves
and just to Spain, at the earliest practicable
moment.
5th. That the enactments of State Legisla
tures to defeat the faithful execution of the fu
gitive slave law are hostile in character, sub
versive of the constitution, and revolutionary
in their effect.
firh. That the Democracy of the 'United
States recognize it as the imperative duty of
this government to protect the naturalized cit
izen in all his rights, whether at home or in
foreign lands, to the same extent as its native
born citizens.
Whereas, one of the greatest necessities of
the age. in a political, commercial, postal and
military point of view, is a speedy communi
cation between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Democratic, party do
hereby pledge themselves to use every means
in their power to secure the passage of some
bill to the extent of the constitutional author
i of Congress fo1' the construction of a Pa
cific railroad from the Mississippi river to the
Pacific ocean, at the earliest practicable mo
ment.
THE CINCINNATI PLATFORM.
Resolved, That the American Democracy
place their trust it) the intelligence, the patri
otism, and the discriminating justice of the
American people.
Resolved, That we regard this as a distinc
tive feature of our political creed, which we
are proud to maintain before the world, as the
great moral element in a form of government
springing from and Upheld by the popular will;
and we contrast it with the creed and practice
of federalism, under whatever name or form,
which seeks to palsy the will of the constitu
ents, and which conceive no imposture too
monstrous for the popular credulity.
• KESOLVED, THEREFORE, lUai UHiei inning
these views, the Democratic party of this U
nion, through their delegates assembled i#a
general Convention, coming together in a spirit
of concord, of devotion to the doctrines and
faith of a free representative government, and
appealing to their fellow-citizens for the rec
titude of their intentions, renew and reassert
before the American people the declai ations of
principles avowed by them when on former oc
casions, in general Convention, they have pre
sented their candidates for the popular suffra
ge
1. That the federal government is one of
limited power, derived solely from the consti
tution ; and the grants of power made therein
ought to be strictly construed by all the de
partments and agents of the government; and
that it is inexpedient and dangerous to exer
cise doubtful constitutional powers.
2. That the constitution does not confer
upon the general government the power to com
mence and carry on a general system of inter
nal improvements. »
3. That the constitution does not conferm
thority upon the general government, directly
or indirectly, to assume tile debts of the sev
eral states, contracted for local and internal
improvements, or other state purposes, nor
would such assumption be just or expedient.
4. That justice and sound policy forbid the
federal government to foster one branch of in
dustry to the detriment of any other, or to
cherish the interest of one portion to the injury
of another portion of our common country; that
every citizen and every section of the country
has a right to demand and insist upon an
equality of rights and privileges, and to com
plete and ample protection of persons and
property from domestic violence or foreign
aggressi n.’ ’’
5. That it is the duty of every branch of
the government to enforce and practice the
most rigid economy in conducting our public
affairs, and that no more revenue ought to be
raised than is required to defray the necessa
ry expenses of the government, and for the
gradual but certain extinction of the public
debt.
6. That the proceeds of the public lands
ought t.o be sacredly applied to the national
objects specified in the constitution ; and that
we are opposed to any law for the distribu
tion of such proceeds among the States, as alike
inexpedient in policy and repugnant to the
constitution.
7. That Congress has no power to charter a
national bank; that we believe such an insti
tution one of deadly hostility to the best in
terests of the country, dangerous to our re
publican institutions and the liberties of the
people, and calculated to place the business of
the country within the control of a concentra
ted money-power, and that the result of the
Democratic legislation in this and all other fi
nancial measures upon which issues have been
made between the two political parlies of the
AAilntiM- Kaiia JamAucl'P'lta^ f l\ r- -i t w I i . 1 niVW*
tical men of all parties their soundness, safe
ty, and utility in all business pursuits.
8 That the separation of the moneys of the
government from banking institutions is indis
pensable for the safety of the funds of the
government and rights of the people.
9. That we are decidedly opposed to taking
from the President the qualified veto power,
by which he is enabled, under restrictions ami
responsibilities amply sufficient to guard the
public interest, to suspend the passage of a
bill whose merits cannot secure the approval
of two-thirds of the Senate and House of Re
presentatives, until the judgment of the peo
ple can be obtained thereon, and which liar
saved the American people from the corrupt
and tyrannical domination of the Bank of the
United States, and from a corrupting system
of general internal improvements.
It). That the liberal principles embodied by
Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence,
and sanctioned in the constitution, which
makes ours the land of liberty and the asylum
of the oppressed of every nation, have evei
been cardinal principles in the Democratic
faith; and every attempt to abridge the privi
lege of becoming citizens and the owners ol
sotl among us ought to be resisted with the
same spirit which swept the alien audseditioi
laws from our statute books.
And whereas, since the foregoing declara
tion was uniformly adopted by our predeces
sors in National Convention, an adverse polit
ical and religions test has been secH-tly organ
ized by a party claiming to be exclusively
Americau, it is proper that the American De
mocracy should clearly define its relation
thereto, and declare its determined opposition
to all secret political societies, by whatever
uame they may be called—
Resolved, That the foundation of this U
uion of States having been laid iu, and its pros
perity, expansion, and pre-etoinentexample in
free government built upon, entire freedom in
matters of religions concernment, and no re
spect of persons in regard to rank or place of
birth, no party car justly be deemed national,
constitutional, or in accordance with Ameri
cau principles, which bases its exclusive or
ganization upon religious opinions and acci
dental birthplace ; and hence, a political cru
sade in the nineteenth century, and in the
United States of America, against Catholics
and foreign born, is neither justified by the
past history or the future prospects of the
country, nor in unison with the spirit ot tol
eration and enlarged freedom which peculiarly
distinguishes the American sysjem of poimlai
government.
Resolved, That we reiterate, with renew
ed energy of purpose, the well-considered dec
laratjeae el femur cenvsntioRs apen the see
tionat issue of Domestic Slavery, anil concern
ing the reserved rights of the States—
1. That Congress has no power, under the
Constitution, to interfere with or control the
domestic institutions of the several States, and
that such States are the sole and proper judges
of everything appertaining to their own af
fairs, not prohibited by the Constitution ; thiu
all efforts of the abolitionists or others, made
to induce Congress to interfere with questions
of slavery, or to take incipient steps in rela
tion thereto, are calculated to lead to the most
alarming and dangerous consequences; and
that all such efforts have an inevitablctenden
cy to diminish the happiness of the people,
and endanger the stability and permanency of
the Union, and ought not to be countenanced
by anv friend of our political institutions.
2. That the foregoing proposition covers,
ami was intended to embrace, the whole sub
ject of slavery agitation in Congress; and
therefore the Democratic party of the Union,
standing on this national platform, will abide
by and adhere to a faithful execution of the
acts known as the Compromise measures, set
tled by the Congress of 1850 ; ‘the act for re
claiming fugitives from service or labor,” in
cluded: which act being designed to carry
out an express provision of the Constitu
tion, cannot, with fidelity thereto, be repealed,
or so changed as to destroy or impair its effi
ciency
3. That the Democratic party will resist all
attempts at renewing in Congress, or out of it,
the agitation of the slavery question, under
whatever shape or color the attempt may be
made.
4. That the Democratic party will faith
fully abide by and uphold the principles laid
down in the Kentucky and Virginia resolu
tions of 1798. and in the report of Mr. Madi
son to the Virginia Legislature in 1799 ; that
it adopts those principles as constituting one
of the main foundations of its political creed,
and is resolved to carry them out in their ob
vious meaning and import.
And that we may more distinctly meet the
issue on which a sectional party, subsisting
exclusively on shivery agitation now relies to
test the fidelity of the people. North and oouth,
to the Cons' itution and the Union—
1. Resolvf.p, That claiming fellowship
with, and desiring the co-operation of all who
regard the preservation of the Union under the
Constitution as the paramount issue—and re
pudiating all sectional parties and platforms
concerning domestic slavery, which seek to
embroil the States and incite to treason atui
armed resistance to law in the territories; and
whose avowed purposes, if consummated.must
end in civil war and disunion—the American
Democracy recognize and adopt the principles
| contained in the organic laws establishing the
Territories of Kansas and Nebraska, as em
bodying the only sound and safe solution of
the "slavery question” upon which the great
national idea of the people of this whole coun
try can repose in its determined conservatism
i pf the Union—Non-interference by Con
gress with Slavery in the Territories or
in the District of Columbia.
2. That this was the basis of the Compro
UinCB VJ l J.V.I.7V/-- uumiuMi aj v»*- —.
cratic ami Whig parties in National Conven
tion—ratified by the people in the election of
1852. and rightly applied to the organization
of Territories in 1854.
3. That by the uniform application of this
Democratic principle to the organization of
territories, and to the admission of new States,
with or without domestic slavery, as they may
elect—the equal rights of all the States will
be preserved intact—the original compacts of
the Constitution maintained inviolate, and the
perpetuity and expansion' of this Union insur
ed to its utmost capacity of embracing in peace
and harmony, every future American State
that may be constituted or annexe d, with a
Republican foiin of government.
Resolved. That we recognize the right of
the people eff all the territories, including
Kansas and Nebraska, acting through the le
gally ami fairly expressed will of a majority
of actual residents, and whenever the number
of their inhabitants justifies it, to form a con
stitution, with or without domestic slavery,
and bo admitted into the Uuion upon terms of
perfect equality with the other States.
Resolved, finally, That in view of the
condition of popular institutions of. the Old
World (and the dangerous tendencies of sec
tional agitation, combined with the attempt
to enforce civil and religious disabilities
against the rights of acquiring and enjoying
citizenship, in our own land) a high and sa
cred duty is devolved with increased responsi
bility upon the Democrattc party of this coun
try, as the party of the Union,uphold and
maintain the rights of every State, and there
by the union of the States ; and to sustain and
advance among us constitutional liberty, by
continuing to resist all monopolies and exclu
sive legislation for the benefit of the few at
the expense of the many, and by a vigilant and
constant adherence to those principles and
compromises of the Constitution, which are
broad enough and strong enough to embrace
and uphold tile Uuion as it was, the Unioi. as
it is, and the Union as it shall be, in the full
expansion of the energies and capacity of this
great and progressive people.
1. Resolved, That there are questions con
nected with the foreign policy of this country
which are inferior to no domestic question
whatever. The time has come for the people
of the United States to declare themselves in
favor of free seas and progressive free trad.
throughout the world, and, by Solemn manifes
tations. to place their moral influence by the
side of their successful example.
2. Resolved, That our geographical and
political position with reference to tile other
States of this continent, no less than the in
terest of our commerce and the development
of our growing power, requires that we should
hold as sacred the principles involved in the
Monroe Doctrine ; their bearing and import
no mtaorinctm/iflAii • ehmiiil ho
applied with unbending rigidity.
3. Resolved, That the great highway which
nature, as well as the assent of the States most
immediately interested in its maintenance, has
marked out for a free communication between
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, constitutes
one of the most important achievements real
ized by the spirit of modern times arid the un- j
conquerable energy of our people. That re
sult should be secured by a timely arid efficient
exertion of the control which we have the
right to claim over it, and no power on earth
should be suffered to impede or clog its pro
gress by any interference with the relations it
may sui our policy to establisQ between otir
government ami the government of the States
within whose dominions it lies. We can. un
der no circumstances, surrender our prepon
derance in the adjustment of all questions
growing out of it.
4. Resolved. That in viewvof so commaml
idg an interest, the people of the United States
cannot but sympathise with theeffoit* which
are being made by the people of Central Ameri
ca to regenerate that portion of the continent
which covers the passage across the Inter
oceanic Isthmus.
5. Resolved, That the Democratic party
will expect of the next Administration that
every proper effort will he made to insure our
ascendency in the Gulf of Mexico, and to
maintain a permanent protection to the great
outlets through which are emptied into its
waters the products raised out of ttirf soil, and
the commodities created by {he industry of the
people of our Western valleys, and of the
Union at large
