The Democratic Platform.
Resolved, That the platform adopted by
the Democratic party al Cincinnati be allinn
ed, with the foil owing explanatory resolution^:
1st. That the government of a territory, or
ganized by an act of Congress, is provisional
ami temporary, and. during its existence, all
citizens of the United States have an equal
right 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 to protect, when
necessary, the rights of persons and property
in the Territories, and wherever else its eon
stiti tional authority extends.
2d. That when the settlers in a Territory,
having an adequate population, form a Slate
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 111 - Fed
eral Union, whether its constitution prohibits
or recegnizes the institution of slavery.
4th. That the Democratic party are in favor
pf 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 ill character, sub
versive of the constitution, and revolutionary
in theiir elFect.
6th. 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 ami 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
ity of Congress for 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 in 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.
Pircm trrn tiirnrrrMjr 'rhnf pnfprfailliriP'
these views, the Democratic party of this lT
nion, through .their delegates assembled in a
general Convention, coming together in aspirit
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 declaiations of
principles avowed by them when on former oc
casions, in general Convention, they have pre
sented their candidates for the popular suffra
ges.
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; aud
that it is inexpedient and dangerous to exer
cise doubtful constitutional powers.
2. That the constitution does not confer
upon the gencralgovermaent the power to com
mence and carry on a general system of inter
nal improvements.
3. That the constitution docs not confer au
thority upon the general government, directly
or indirectly, to assume the 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, aud to com
plete and ample protection of persons and
property from domestic violence or foreign
aggression.l
5. That it is the duty of every branch of
the government to enforce aud 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 to be sacredly applied to the national
objects specified in the constitution ; ami that
we are opposed to any law for the distribu
tion oE 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 oE deadly hostility to the best in
terests of the country, dangerous to our re
publican institutions aud 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 ft
nancial measures upon which issues have been
made between the two political parties of the
country have demonstrated to candid and prac
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 and
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, qntil the judgment of the peo
ple can be obtained thereon, and which has
saved the American people from the corrupt
and tyrannical domination of the Rank of tile
United States, and from a corrupting system
of general internal improvements.
10. That the liberal principles embodied by
Jotl'erson in tile Declaration of Independence,
and sanctioned in tbe constitution, which
makes ours the land of liberty and the asylum (
of the oppressed of every nation, have ever ;
been cardinal principles in the Democratic i
faith; and every attempt to abridge the piivi- <
lege of becoming citizens and tbe owners of ,
soil among us ought to be resisted with the
same spirit w hich swept the alien and sedition ■
laws from our statute books. ,
And whereas, since the foregoing dcclara- ;
tion was uniformly adopted by our predeces- (
sois in National Convention, an adverse polit- c
ical'and religious test has been secretly organ- ,
ized by a party claiming to be exclusively (
American, it is proper that the American De- i
mocracy should clearly define its relation I
thereto, and declare its determined opposition
to all secret political societies, bv whatevei ,
name they may be called—
KKSoi.yr;o, That tbe foundation of this U- ’
nion of States having been iaid in,and itspros
perity, expansion, and pre-eminent example in
free government built upon, entire freedom in
■natters of religious concernment, and no re- I
spect of persons in regard to rank or place of |
birth, no party can justly be deemed national,
constitutional, or in accordance with Ameri
can 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 bom, Is neither justified by the I
past history or the future prospects of the !
country, nor in unison wifh the spirit ot tol- I
eration and enlarged freedom which peculiarly
distinguishes the American system of popular
government.
RueoLvfcD, That we reiterate, with renew -
ed energy «f purpose, the well-considered dec - j
UraUoa, •£ former tonveniiens span the see j
tional issue of Domestic Slavery, and concern
ing the reserved rights of the Stntes—
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 ; that
all efforts of the abolitionists or others, made
to indace Congress to interfere with questions
of slavery, or to take incipient steps in rela
tion thereto, are calculated to lead to the most
alarming ami dangerous consequences; and
that all such efforts have an inevitable tenden
cy to diminish the happiness of the people,
aiid endanger the stability and permanency of
the Union, and ought not to be countenanced
by any friend of our political institutions.
2. That the foregoing proposition covers,
and 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 pally 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 slavery agitation now relies to
test the fidelity of the people. North and south,
to the Constitution ami the Union—
1. Resolveo, 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 and
aimed resistance to law in the territories; and
whose avowed purposes, if consummated,must
end in civil war and disunion—the American
Democracy recognize ami 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
of the Union—Non-intereerencf. by Con
gress with Slavery is the Territories or
in the District oe Columbia.
2. That this was the basis of the Compro
mises of 1.850—confirmed hv hnth the Demo
cratic and 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 annexed, with a
Republican form of government.
Resolved. That we recognize the right of
the people of all the teri.tories, including
Kansas and Nebraska, acting through the le
gally and fairly expressed will of a majority
of actual residents, and whenever the number
uf-Uteir inhabitants justifies it,.-to form a con
stitution, with or without domestic slavery,
and be 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 Democratic party of this coun
try, as the party of the Union, to 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 the Union as it was, the Union 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 arc 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 trade
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 the other
States of this continent, no less than the in
terest of our commerce and the development
- O'-O f- ’ 1.. .......
hold as sacred the principles involved in the
Monroe Doctrine ; their bearing and import
admit of no misconstruction ; they should be
applied w'ith 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 and the un
conquerable energy of our people. That re
sult should be secured by a timely and 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
nay suit our policy to establish between our
government and the government of the States
within whose dominions it lies. We can, un
lor no circumstances, surrender our prepon
lerence in the adjustment of all questions
'rowing out of it.
4. Resolved, That in view of so command- 1
dg an interest, the people of the United States ■
aunot hut sympathise with the effort-; which
.re being made Dy the people of Central Aineri
a to regenerate that portion of the continent
vhich covers the passage across the Inter
iceauic Isthmus.
o. Resolved, That the Democratic party
viII expect of the next Administration that
very proper effort will be made to insure our
.scendency in the Gulf of Mexico, and to
uaintain a permanent protection to the great j
utlets through which are emptied into its
raters the products raised out of the soil, ami
he commodities created by the industry of the .
ieoplc of our Western valleys, and of the
Jnion at large
