NATIONAL PLATFORM AMERICAN PARTY, At adopted bp the ale Philadelphia Con vention. At & regular meeting of tlie National Council of tlie American party, begun anil bcM at Philadelphia, on tlie 5th June, A. D. 1855, the following was adopted as Hie 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 nation, has distinguished us by some token of Providential agency. II. —The cultivation and development of a sentiment of profoundly intense American feeling ; of passionate attach ment to our country, its history and its ....dilutions; 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 of these United States as the paramount political good; or, to use the language of Washington, “ the primary object ot patriotic desire.” And hence;— 1st. Opposition to all attempts to wea ken or subvert it, 2d. Uncompromising antagonism to every principle of policy that endangers it. 3d. The advocacy of an equitable 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, or on the belief that there is a real difference of interests and views” between the vari ous sections of the Union. oth. Tlie 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 upon 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 disputed points it may only be ltfg&lfy 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 proper authority. 2. A tender and sacred regard for Whose acts of statesmanship, which are l«o be contra-distinguished from acts of ordinary legislation, by the fact of their rSeing of the nature of compacts and * agreements; and so, to be considered a ffxed and settled national policy. V. —A radical revision and modifica tion of the laws regulating immigration, sind the settlement of immigrants. Of fering to the honest immigrant w ho, 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 tlie respective States,, of all State laws al lowing foreigners not naturalize d to vote. The repeal, without retroactive opera lion, of all acts of Congress making grants of land to unturnlized 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 forpolitic il subserviency,and of punish ment for political independence. Disgust for the wild hunt after office which characterizes the age. These on the one hand. O.i the other: Imitation of the practice of the purer days of the Republic; and admiration of the maxim that •* office should seek the man, ami not man the office,” and of the rule that, the just mode of ascertain ing fitness for office is the capability, the raiilifulnes-', and the honesty of the in cumbent or candidate. VIII—Resistance to the aggressive policy and corrupting tendencies or the Roman Catholic Chinch in our country, by the advancement to all political sta- t ons—executive, legislative, judicial or di lomatic—of those only who do not hold civil allegiance, directly or indirect ly, to any foreign |»ower, whether civil or ecclesiastical, ami who are Americans by birth, education and tra ning:—thus lullilling the maxim. •* Americans only siiai.i. oovEttN America." Tiie protection of all citizens in the legal and proper exercise of their civil and religious rights and privileges; the iiniiiti-imncc of the right of every man to the full, unrestrained and peaceful enjoyment of his own religious opitiiims and worship, and a jealous resistance of all attempts by any sect, denomination or church to obtain an ascendancy over any other in {he State, by means oj' any a|a.‘cial prfvilegefror exemption, by any jKilit'cal combination of its members, or 4>y u division of their civil allegiance with atugr iureign power,. potentate, or ecclcsi- aLstie. .| IX.—The reformation of the cliurac- tcc of our National Legislature, by ele vating'to ilint dignified anil responsible 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 Constiations of nearly all the States: by the decisions of the most eminent judici al authorities ; 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 common justice and of future peace, to abide by and maintain the existing laws upon the subject of Slavery, as a final and 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 portant, in distinct and unequivocal terms, it is hereby declared as the sense of this National Council, that Congress possesses no power, under the Constitu tion, to legislate upon the subject of slavery in the States where it does or may exist, or to exclude any State from admission into the Union, because i's Constitution does 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 poorer of Congress to.establish or prohibit slavery in any Territory, it is the sense of the National Council that Congress ought not to legislate upon the subject of slavery within the Territories of the United Slates and tliat any interference by Congress with slavery as it exists in the District of Columbia, would be a violation of the spirit and intention of the compact by which the State of Mary lan 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 to the weakest; restraining, by all the power of the government, all its citizens from interference with the internal con cerns-of nations with whom we are at 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 will cheerfully co-operate with all 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 Oth,—That we are in fayor 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 condemu the vaseillatiug policy of the Administration, as calculated, if not designed, to defeat the acquisition of that Island.
