NATIONAL PLATFORM
AMERICAN* PARTY,
/Jj adopted by the late Philadelphia Con
vention.
At • regular meeting of the National
Council of the American party, begun
and held at Philadelphia, on the 5th
June, A. D. 1855, (lie following was
adopted as the Platform and Principles
of the Organization:
I. The acknowledgment of that Almi
ghty Being who rules over the Universe
who presides over the Councils of
Nations—who conducts the affairs of
men, and who, in every step by which
we have advanced to the character of
an independent notion, has distinguished
us Uy some token of Providential agency.
II. —The cultivation ami development
of a sentiment of profoundly intense
American feeling ; of passionate attach
inent to our country, its history and its
institutions; of admiration for the purer
days of our National existence; of ven
eration for the heroism that precipitated
our Revolution; and of emulation of the
virtue, wisdom and patriotism that
framed our Constitution and first suc
cessfully applied its provisions.
III. —The maintenance of the Union
c>f these United States as the paramount
political good; or, to use the language
of Washington, “ the primary object of
patriotic desire.” And hence:—
1st. Opposition to all attempts to wea-
kun or subvert it.
2d. Uncompromising antagonism to
every principle of policy that endangers
it.
3d. The advocacy of an equHalile
adjustment of all political differences
which threaten its integrity or perpe
tuity.
4th. The suppression of all tendencies
to political division, founded on “ geo
graphical discrimination, nr on the
belief that there is a real difference of
interests and views" between the vari
ous sections of the Union.
5th. The full recognition of the rights
of the several States, as expressed and
reserved in the Constitution; and a
careful avoidance, by the General
Government, of all interference with
their rights by-legislative or executive
action.
IV. —Obedience to the constitution
of the United States, as the supreme
law of the land, sacredly obligatory
apon all its parts and members ; and
steadfast resistance, to the spirit of inno
vation upon its principles, however spe
cious the pretexts. Avowing that in all
doubtful or dispute 1 points it may only
be legally ascertained and expounded by
the Judicial power of the United States.
And, as a corollary to the above:—
1. A habit of reverential obedience
to the laws, whether National, States, or
Municipal, until they are either repeal
ed or declared unconstitutional by the
fxroper authority.
2. A tender and sacred regard for
those acts of statesmanship, which are
to be contra-distinguished from acts of
ordinary legislation, by the fact of their 1
being of the nature of compacts and
agreements; and so, to be considered a
ifixrd and settled national policy.
V. —A radical revision and modifica
lion of the laws regulating immigration,|
and the settlement of immigrants. Of
fering to the honest immigrant who, from
love of liberty or hatred of oppressing,
seeks an asylum in the United State a
friendly reception and protection. But
unqualifiedly condemning the transmis
sion to our shores, of felons and pau
pers.
VI. —The essential modification of the
naturalization laws.
The repeal by the Legislatures of the
respective States, of all State laws al
lowing foreigners not naturalized to
vote.
The repeal, without retroactive opera
tion, of all acts of Congress making
grants of land to unturalized foreig
ners, and allowing them to vote in the
Territories.
VII. —Hostility to the corrupt means
by which the leaders of party have
hitherto forced upon us our rulers and
our political creeds.
Implacable enmity against the pre
valent demoralizing system of rewards
for political subserviency,and of puniah
inent for political independence.
Disgust for the wild hunt nfter office
which characterizes the age.
These on the one hand. On the
other:
Imitation of the practice of the purer
days of the Republic; and admiration
of t lie maxim that •* office should seek
the man, and not man the office,’’ and of
the rule that, the just mode of ascertain
ing fitness for office is ibe capability, the
faithfulness, and the hone.-ty of the in
cumbent or candidate.
VIII. —Resistance to the aggressive
|Mtliey and corrupting tendencies of the
Roman Catholic Church in our country.
l>y the advancement to all political sta
tions—executive, legislative, judicial or
•lij Lunatic—of those only who do not
hold civil allegiance, directly or indirect
ly, to any foreign power, whether civil
or ecclesiastical, and who arc Americans
by birth, education and tra ning:—thus
fulfilling the maxim, “ Americans only
s$HAi.L GOVERN Am ERICA.”
The protection of all citizens in the
legal and proper exercise of their civil
and religious rights Mid privileges; the
maintenance of the right of every man
:o the full, unrestrained and p—.eeful
enjoyment of his own religious opinion.-
and worship, and a jealous resistance ol
all attempts^by any sect, denomination
or church to obtain an ascendancy over
nay other in the State, by means of any
-pecial privileges or exemption, by any
,>o!it*cal combination of its members, or
!>y a division of their civil allegiance with
any foreign power, potentate, or ecclesi
astic. fH* "'iM
ill ion of the clmrac-
ire, by elc-
rcspousible
position men of higher qualifications,
purer morals,and more unselfish patriot
ism.
X. —The restriction of executive pat
ronage—especially in the matter of ap
pointments to office—so far as it may be
permitted by the Constitution, and con
sistent with the public good.
XI. —The education of the youth of
our country in schools provided by the
State; which schools shall be common
to all, without distinction of creed or
party, and free from any influence or
direction of a denominational or partizan
character.
And, inasmuch as Christianity by the
Constiutions of nearly all the States: by
the decisions of the most eminent judici
al aulhoritiea; and by the consent of the
people of America, is considered an ele
ment of our political system ; and as the
Holy Bible is at once the source of Chris
tianity, and the depository and fountain
of all civil and religious freedom, we op
pose every attempt to exclude it from
the schools thus established in the States.
XII. —The American party having
arisen upon the ruins and in spite of the
opposition of the whig and Democratic
parties, cannot be held in any manner
responsible for the obnoxious acts or
violated pledges of either. And the sys
tematic agitation of the Slavery ques
tion by those parties having elevated
sectional hostility into a positive element
;of political power, and brought our insti
tutions into peril, it has therefore become
the- imperative duty of the American
party to interpose, for the purpose of
giving peace to the country and perpe
tuity to>the Union. And as experience
has shown it impossible to reconcile opin
ions so extreme as those which separate
the disputants, and as there can be no
dishonor in submitting to the laws, the
National Council has deemed it the best
guarantee of commoft justice and of
future peace, to abide by and maintain
the existing laws upon the subject of
Slavery, as a filmland conclusive set
tlement of that subject in spirit and in
substance;
And regarding it the highest duty to
avow their opinions upon asubject so im
poftant, in distinct and Unequivocal
terms, it is hereby declared as the sense
of this National Council, that Congres
possesses no power, under the Constitu
tion, to legislate apon the subject of
slavery in the States where it does or
may exist, or to exclude any State from
admission into the Union, because its
Consthoiwm docs or does not recognize
the institution of slavery as a part of its
social system; and expressly pretermit-
ting any expression of opinion upon the
power of Congress to establish or prohibit
slavery in any Territory, it is the sense
ofi the National Council ihnt Congress
ought not to legislate upon the subject
of slavery within the Territories of the
United States and that any interference
by Congress with slavery as it exists in
the District o£ Columbia, would be a
violation of the spirit and intention of the
compact by which the State of Marylan
ceded the District to the United States
and a breach of the National faith.
XIII. —The policy of the Govern
ment of the United States, in its relations
with foreign governments, is to exact
justice from the strongest, and do justice
lo the weakest • restraining, by all the
|iower of the government, all its citizens
from interference with the internal con
cerns of nations with whom we are at
peace.
XIV. —This National Council declares
that all the principles of the Order shall
he henceforward everywhere openly
avowed ;and that each member shall be
at liberty to make known the existence
of the Order, and the fact tlmt he him
self is a member; and it recommend;
that there be no concealment of the place
of meeting of subordinate councils.

hostility to the constitutional rights of
i he South ; and all persons who pirtake
in such opposition as unfit to be recog
nized as members of the American
Party.
Resolved 7th,—That we concur in
the opinion expressed in the meeting of
our fellow citizens of Columbus, held
on the 26th day May,1855, that the time
has arrived when our fellow citizens
should cease from their dissensions, and
forget the differences which have sepa
rated them ; and that a common danger
and common enemy should unite us for
our common defense and safety, and
that we wilt cheerfully co-operate with
ell who may unite with us in the endeavor
to accomplish so noble and patriotic an
object.
Resolved 8th,—That the Western
and Atlantic Rail Road was projected
and built for the general good of the
whole people of Georgia; and utterly
condemn any policy which has sought,
or which may seek to make it subservient
to the interest or purpose of any politi
cal party whatever.
Resolved 9th,—That we are in favor
of the acquisition of Cuba, whenever it
can be accomplished upon fair and
honorable grounds, or whenever any
European Power shall seek to make it a
point from which to assail the rights and
institutions of any portion of this coun
try ; and that we strongly condemn the
vascillatiug policy of the Administration,
as calculated, if not designed, to defeat
the acquisition of that Island.

PLATFORM AND PRINCIPLES
OF THE
AMERICAN PARTY
OF THE
STATE OF GEORGIA,
Passed at a Meeting held in Macon, on
the 27th June, 1855.
Resolved, 1st,—That we ratify and
approve of the principles adopted by
the late National Council of the Ameri
can Party, at Philadelphia.
Resolved 2nd,— That the American
Party unqualifiedly condemns, and will
ever eudeavor to counteract all efforts,
by any sect or party, to bring about a
union of Church and State, and utterly
disclaims any intention to prescribe a
religious test as a qualification for office.
Resolved 3rd,—That as the naturali
zation laws have been so long preverted
tothe basest purposes, by corrupt politi
cal oemagognes as to cause the foreign
element lo grow up to be a dangerous
powei in our midst, deciding our polili
cal contests as it pleases, there exists an
imperative necessity for their radical
modification, and stricter enforcement.
Resolved 4th,—That we reaffirm the
Georgia platform of 1850, as indicating
the right policy, in the event of the
contingencies therein mentioned ; and
we hereby pledge ourselves to stand by
and carry out its principles.
Resolved5th,—That we unqualifiedly
condemn the Administration of Fresi
dent Pierce, for the appointment of For
eigners to represent our country abroad
tor appointing and retaining free-soiler
in office ; and especially do we condemn
the President for not removing Gov.
Reeder from office, when it was first
known that he had used his official sta
tion both to enable him to speculate in
the Indian Reservations, and to sustain
and carry out the views of the Free
Soil party of Kansas.
Resolved 6th,—That this Council,
(Wiile repudiating the policy of allowing,
in the future legislation of the country,
unnaturalized foreigners to vote in the
Territorial elections,) regards all oppo
sition to the principles of the Nebraska 1
Kansas Act, in relation to slavery, as

ble Pain Killer, and large amounts expended
in their introduction, the Pain Killer has
continued to steadily advance in the estima
tion of the world as the best Family Medi
cine, ever introduced. As an internal and
external remedy it is truly a source of
JOY TO THE WORLD.
One positive proof of its efficacy is, that
tbe sales have constantly increased, and
wholly upon its own merits, as the proprie
tors have not resorted to advertising to gain
for it the rank it now holds among the great
number of preparations of the present time.
The effect of tbe Paiu Killer upou the pa
tient, when taken internally in cases ot
Colds, Cough, Bowel Complaints, Cholera,
Dyssentery and other affections of the sys
tem, has been truly wonderful, and lias now
for it a name among medicinal preparations
that can never be forgotten. Its success in
removing pain, as an external remedy, in
cases of burns, bruises, sores, sprains, cuts,
sting of insects and other causes of suffering,
has secured for ft such « host of testimony,
as an almost infallible remedy, that ft will
be handed down to posterity as one of the
greatest medical discoveries of the- nine
teenth century. The magical effects of the
Pain Killer when takenor used according to
directions, are certain*. Yea have only to be
sure that you buy the genuine article and
adhere to the directions in its use, and yon
will admit its wonderful medicinal proper
ties.
Tbe genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is
now put up in panel bottles, with thewords
Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer blown in
glass ; and with two steel engraved 1
