SATURDAY NORNIXO, WOTS 7.
f Public Meeting
Kb the Morning xVetet of yetterday appears
a call fbr a public meeting or the citizens of
Savannah to ezpreaa their approval of the
cfcMttMflMnt of Sumner. We need hardly my
that ire regret this call, and sincerely hope the
propoaed meeting will not be held. As we
hare repeatedly asserted, the difficulty between
the MaamchoseUs Senator and the South Caro
lina Representative was a personal affair. As
such thiy should be left to settle It. If Judge
Batter and Mr. Brooks' constituents see fit to
ezpiem their approval of the attack made in
tktir behalf, as they have already done, we have
no objection. But surely the people of Geor
gia, to whom Mr. Brooks is not answerable, and
from whom ho expect* nothing ot the kind,
are not called upon to hold public meetings to
endorse bis course.
We altogether mistake his character, and
should Judge very differently of his act, if Mr.
Brooks, In meeting the imperious necessity
which seemed to be placed upon him, was
prompted by a desire of public applause. The
moat that be expected, and all that he probably
claims, Is thst in this violation of the laws, his
act may be tolerated not applauded, excused
not commended, on the grounds of bis over
powering provocation. He, doubtless, regarded
the occasion as a misfortune to be deplored not
as an opportunity for distinction to be coveted.
But we pass to far higher considerations, for
which we earnestly a*k the consideration of our
readers. The idea of making the “Sumner Out.
rage” the leading issue in the approaching Pre
sidential campaign, is a device of the Black
Republicans. It Is a trap which they have
adroitly set for the South, and especially for
Northern supporters of Southern right*. Ut
us not be caught in it—above an. let us not
force oar Northern friends Into it.
Shall we allow these enemies of their country,
after once taking position, to change the field
of battle and select ground which gives them
every advantage? Weeks and mouths since, the
material unu* In the controversy between the
foes and friends of the Union and the Constitu
tion were made up. These issues, tendered
on the one side, acccepted on the other, as
stated in the Senate by Judge Douglas—(a
statement acquired in by Seward and Wade)
were:
1. To admit no more .-‘lave States into the
Union:
2. To repeal the fugitive slave law :
3. To abolish the slave trade lietween the
States:
4. To prohibit slavery in the District of Co
lumbia :
5. To restore the prohibition to Kansas and
Nebraska; and
6. To acquire no more territory unless slavery
be first prohibited.
On these issues the skirmishes, preliminary
to the grand presidential battle, were fought.
The result in all the Northern States in which
elections lately occurred was unfavorable to the
enemy. Three weeks since they were hopeless.
The hand writing foretelling their doom iu No
vember was palpable on the wall. In the midst
of their despair occurs the assault of Brooks
upon Sumner, an assault made iu the Senato
chamber, on u Senator while seated, for words
spoken in debate.
Instantly the hope* of our foes are revived.
Bunshine breaks through their clouded pros
pects. The word goes forth from Washington,
literally with lightening speed, to every city,
town and hamlet in the North to holt] public
meetings and denounce the alleged outrage, as
an attack up';- ft axiom of speech. The
real and vital questions upon which defeat stood
staring the enemies of their country in the face,
are to be ignored or kept iu the back ground.
A purely personal affair which may he used
to inflame the prejudices, and misguide the
judgments of the Northern people is to be made,
' if possible, the great issue. But can this be done?
Yet, if for every meeting held in one section to
denounce the act of Mr. Brooks another .shall be
Held in the other section to appluud it.
Shall we be guilty of this folly? Shall we
help the black republicanit to keep up the ex
citement until election day ? Shall we furnish
fuel for the Are now blazing throughont the
North, hut which unless fed from the South
must die out in a few weeks. ?
We speak to all—hut especially to Democrats
Don't let us full into the ambush of our ene
mies. It is not enough that we carry the South
ern State*. We must have Northern States, or
oar party Is undone, and with it, as we most
truly believe, the Confederacy.

Majority ami Minority Report* on tlie
Brooke t*M,
We find la the Congressional Ulobe the re
ports of the Majority aud Minority of the Com
mittee of the House of Representatives on tho
ease of Mr. Brooks. The conclusion to which
the majority came, witi. their resolutions for the
expulsion of Brooks and the censure of Edmun-
son and Keitt, we have already given. They
dodge altogether the question whether any
breach of privilege had keen committed, and
the power of the House to punish. From their
statement of facts we make the following ex
tract, disclosing some circumstances not before
known to us. The testimony discloses tho fol
lowing facts:
On Monday and Tuesday, the 19th aud 20tb
days of May, I860, Mr. Sumner delivered a
speech iu tho Senate, in reply to a Senator from
8outh Carolina, (Mr. Butler) and other Sena
tors, an authenticated copy of which is appen
ded to the accompanying, testimony, aud forms
a part of this report. *
.It appears that, as early us Tuesday, i<etore
the speech was concluded*, Mr. Brook took ex
ception to tho remarks of the Senator; and that
on Wednesday morning, after tho delivery o B
the speech, lie declared to Mr. Edmondson, ol
the House, by whom lie was casimlly met, in
the Capital grouuds, a short time before the
meeting of the two Houses, that he had deter
mined to punish Mr. Sumner, unless he made
an ample opology for the language he had uttered
in his speech, and expressed a desire that Mr.
Edmumlson should t>e present ns witness to the
transaction ; that thereupon took a seat ueur
the walk leading from Pennsylvania avenue to
the Capitol, and there remained some flttcen
minutes, awaiting the approach of Mr. Suinuer;
and he not making his appearance, they then
proceeded to the Capitol.
On Thursday morniug lie was again casually
met by Mr. Edmundson at the western entrance
of the Capitol grounds, on the Pennsylvania
avenue which commund* a view of all the ap
proaches to the Capitol from that portion of the
city in which Mr. Sumner resides. Here Mr.
Brooks informed Mr. Edmumlson that lie was
on the lookout for Mr. Sumner, aud again de-
declared his purpose to resent the language ol
Mr. Sumner's speech : and after remaining for
u short period. Mr. Sumner not approaching
the two again proceeded to the Capitol.
The minority report is signed by Gov. Cobb
i>( Georgia,anil Mr. Greeuwood; of Alabama.
It is a clear and entirely conclusive argument on
the poiuts involved—too long tor our space or
we would gladly publish the whole, rather than
impair its force by extracts .which do less than
justice to Its author’s reasoning.
After summing up the facts the minority
say:
The question presented for our consideration
upon this state of facts is : Do these faats in
volve a breach of the privileges of the Senate,
or of the house, or ofany member thereof, over
which the House can take any remedial juris
diction, or for which it can inflict any punish
ment? and, if so, what course it becomes
the House to pursue in reference to the mut
ter ?
Our first inquiry is : what are the privileges
of the Senate, and of the House . w here are
they to be found? Oars U a Government ot
delegated power. The Constitution picsonbtyj
the Duties of the executive,legislative, aud judl-
cial departments of the Government. It will
not l>c questioned by any one that neither these
three departments combined, nor any ouo ot
them alone, can exercise any power which is
not derived from the Constitution. Vo hold
that the privileges of the Senate aud of the
House must be looked for in the snnio instru
ment, ami that none exist except those which
urc expressly declared in the Constitution, or
set forth in some law passed in pursuance there
of, or some rules adopted under the authority ot
the same. It would tie strangejudeed if the
framers of thtfCoustitution should have denied to
ail the Dcparments of the Government collco
tively as well as to each individually, tho ex_
erciseof any other then the powers expressly
delegated to them, nnd yet should have left to
the two Houses, the right to claim nnd exercise
privileges independent of the grants of the
Coastitution. . ,, ...
Congress can pass no law subjeetingun) cm-
zeu to punishment, unless it shall be in pursu
ance of a power delegated by the Constitution ;
nan the Executive exercise any authority,
unless it he derived from the sanio source. It,
however, we are permitted to look for the pri
vileges of the Senate and of the House to some
other quarter than to tho Constitution, it would
present the strange anomaly of denying to the
two bodies in their legislative capacity the exer
cise of inherent or inferential powers, affecting
the liberty oi the citizen, and yet granting to
either one, in its separate position, the exercise
of such a power. It would seem necessary only
to state the proposition, aud that its bare state
ment would carry with it its own rclutation.
It is claimed tliat the Seuute and House eaeli
possess the inherent right to declare what its
privileges are, and to punish for the violation
of them. If this doctrine be true, then the
House has the power to declare that an act com
mitted to-day, whicli is in violation of no provi
sion of the Constitution, no law of the land, no
rule of the House, and which is therefore, so far
as the citizen may be informed, inuoccnt in it
self, a violation and a breach of Its privileges,
and to inflict punishment for the same.
Tho admission of such a right would consti
tute cither House of Congress it legislative, judi
cial, and an executive power combined ; having
tho power or a Legislature to pass the law, the
power of a judge to expound it, and the power
to execute it. A more perfect despotism never
has anil never can exist thau—if such he the
fact—does exist in either branch of Congress.
To appreciate properly the enormity of this
power anil the abuse to which its exercise might
lead, it is only necessary to add, that from the
very nature of the case this luw.thus made, and
thus enforced, is an ex pout facto law, directly
violative of the letter of the Constitution and
repugnunt to the whole spirit of our American
nstltutions.
In answer to reasonings drawn from the his
tory of the British Parliament, the minority de
ny most emphatically that the powers of Par
liament, claimed to be “omnipotent,” have been
given to'tho two Houses of Congress. They
show by Parliamentary precedent Hint—
The British Parliament, under the doctrine
of privilege, exercised an unlimited power of
lino and imprisonment, and in some of the
cases cited have gone so far as to banish the
citizen from the realm. In other cases they
have caused private dwellings to he searched,
and without other authority of law than that
exercised by virtue of their assumed privilege,
have seized mid destroyed the property of the
citizen. Will it lie contended that such powers
can iie exercised by either House of Congress ?
if Congress derive its privileges from the par
liamentary law, mid that parliamentary law
recognizes no other restraint, except the wis
dom and the justieo of those who exercise the
power, then it is for each House of Congress
at the time of Hie commission of any act which
It may think proper to regard as a violation of
its privileges, so to determine, to declare that
such act is u violation of its privileges, ami to
inflict such punishment as it iu its discretion
may determine upon. To this extent must the
doctrine he carried, if we look to that source at
all to ascertain the privileges of either House
of Cougress. Tho whole pariinmentary Jaw on.
the subject must either he repudiated or adopt
ed. If wo adopt it, we huve then existing in
our country a body of men authorized, after the
commission of an act, to' declare that act a vio
lation of congressional privilege, fulniiimle a
punishment for it, nnd execute the same;
though, at the time the act was committed,
neither the person committing it, nor the mem
bers of the body themselves, entertained the
idea that, its commission would be attended
with such results. So monstrous ii doctrine, in
our judgment , cannot and ought not to he main-
tained.
They add however, that not even the British
PmJJmncwt ever stretched its power* to the ex
tent. to which the majority urge Congress to go
in asking that it. shall punish Keitt and Edmund-
son for not turning informers when they learned
that Brooks contemplated an attack on Suumer.
Having disposed of tills view of the case, they
say:
Wo now proceed to inquire, what privilege of
the Senate, or of tho House, or of any member,
him been violated, for, which this House lias
authority to umilsh, us disclosed lit the lacta
willow we have set forth iu the commencement
of this report:
The Unit allegation Is, Hint the privilege of
Mr. Sumner lms been violated in this: tliat lie
lias licen qucstlined for the delivery of a speech
In tho Somite, in violation of that provision ol
the Constitution which declares that “for any
speech or delude in either House they shall not
be qliesMoned in nny other place.” This provi
sion oft no Constitution was evidently Intended
to protect members of Congress from such legal
liability tw they might incur for words spoken
in debate iu their respective Houses.
In support of this view, they quote from
Judge Story as tollowa,
"Thenext great and vital privilege Uithi
freedom of speech and debate, irithoat which
all other privileges would be comparative!/
unimportant or Ineffectual. This privilege, u
derived from the practice of the British Pari la
ment. But this privilege 1* strictly confined to
things done in toe course of parliamentary pro
ceeding*, and does not cover things done be
yond the place and limits of duty. Therefore,
although a speech delivered In the House ot
Commons la privileged, and the member cannot
be questioned respecting it elsewhere, yet, If
he publishes his speech, and it contains libelous
matter, he la liable to an action and prosecution
therefor, aa in common cases of libel.
"Andthe same principles seem applicable
to the privilege of debate and speech In Con
gress. No min ought to hive a right to de
fame others, under the color of the performance
of the duties of his office. And If he does so
in the actual discharge of his duties in Congress,
that furnislie* no reason tfby he should be
enabled, through the medium of the press, to
destroy the reputation nnd invade the peace of
other citizen*, it is neither within the scope of
his public duty, nor in furtherance of public
right* or public policy. Every citizen has
good right to be protected by the laws from
raalignaut scandal, and false charges tlnd de
famatory imputations, as a member of Congress
lins to utter them in his seat. If it were other
wise, a man’s character might be taken away
without tho possibility of redress, either ly
the malice, or indiscretion, or over-weenlug sell
conceit of a member of Congress.
Oue more extract will bring us to the con
clusion to which the minority arrived :
The only provision of the Constitution un
der which the power can be exercised, on
which the majority of ourlcommittee have reli
ed, is the one already quoted, which declare*
that:
“Each House may determine the rules of it*
proceedings, punish its metnltera for disorderly
behavior .and,with the concurrence of two thirds
expel a member.’’
“It is a question which has been much
discussed, mid one which it is important to
decide correctly. To what extent is the
power given to the two House*, by this
provision or the Constitution, to punish
their members ? Taking the whole paragraph
iu its connected sense, it seems to us that
St lias reference to the House while in session,
in the actual discharge of its constitutional
duties. Tiie power of providing rules for its
proceedings, it will lie seen, is coupled in the
same sentence with the power to punisli its
member* for disorderly behavior, and the power
with the concurrence of two thirds, to expel a
li.einlier. 1 f it had beem«mtemplated that the
powers conferred in this provision were to be
exercised to the extent now claimed for them,
they would hardly have been placed in such
intimate connection with the simple power of
providing rules for the proceedings of the two
Houses. We entertain no doubt that the whole
of this provision looks to the session of the
House, to the providing of rules for its proceed
ings during its session; to punishing its mem,
bers for such disorderly conduct as would inter
rupt - its session; and, where that conduct amount
ed to such an outrage upon the rules and pro
prieties of the House as would justify It, to ex
pel the member.
SH
CONCLUSION*.
It will be seen, from the view which we have
taken of the Constitution on this subject, that
we do not dffer from the majority of the commit
tee upon the fact that the two Houses should
have the power to pcotect themselves in their
deliberations, and in the discharge of all their
constitutional duties. We differ only as to
the source from which that power is derived,
aud the mode in which it is to be exercis
ed. Those who claim for Cougress these
peculiar privileges look to parliamentary law,
British precedents, and the necessity of the
cos), for the authority. We, on the con
trary, look to the Constitution of the conn-
try for tho authority, aud to the laws passed
iu pursuance thereof for the mode and manner
of Its enforcement; and it is for the House to
say whether it will rest its claim to privileges
upon the one or the other of these sources of
S ower. Holding, as we do, that neither House
as any privileges exci pt thoso which are writ
ten and declared either in tho Constitution or
some law or. rule passed in pursuance thereof,
and that the facts developed by the evidence
shows no violation of any such written and
recognized privileges, we recommend the adop
tion of tho following resolution :
Resolved, That this House lias no jurisdiction
over the assault alleged to have been com
mitted by the Hon. Preston S. Brooks, a mem
ber or this House from the State of Soutli Caro
lina, upon the Hon. Charles Sumner, a Sena
tor from the State of Massachusetts; and
therefore deem it improper to express any opin
ion nu the subject.

“ The American Celt.”—The following com
munication from the Washington Star, relates
to an article already referred to once or twice in
our columns, and erroneously attributed by the
Rihmond Whig to tho Freeman's Journal:
Mk, Editor : Your paper of Saturday, the ills
tilt., contained an article beaded “advertisement,”
with comments on D'Arcy McGee's harangue on
the murder of Keating by Mr. Horbert. Mr. McGee
is the editor of the Celt, a newspaper purporting to
be duvoted to the Irish nnd Irish causo In this
country. The Celt Is not u religious paper, nor do I
believe its editor possesses more than an ordluary
share or that very rare gift. Bishop Hughes has tio
more to do with the Celt newspaper tliau auy ot bet

action being now fully known, we hope
to see our planters come forward und sub
scribe liberally to this grout Stato enter

One hundred and fifty thousand dollars
id least should be subscribed by the citi

The Main trunk roau can nnd should

should, through the obstinacy of Bruns

Dkathof anOld ANn Rbuahkasi.k Man—
Tlioro died ut Philadelphia on Monduy one of
those worthies whoso memory couneets us with
tho past—John Keating, of an Irish faintly,
Homo time settled iu Prance. Ho waa a major
In tho t rench nriny wlion Napoleon Bonaparte
wus captain. Stationed in the West ladles at
mo timo ol tho Preach devolution, ho was tho
only ofilcur in Ids regiment elected by Ills uten
“ the republic. Ho replied thnt “having
entered Uie army to sorvo tho monarchy, lie de
clined to sorve uudor the republic.” Ho resigned
tils eotiimlssion nnd settled in Philadelphia,
where low men have lived more universally res
pected or died moro truly lamented at the ma
ture ago of !M. Never tins It boon our good for-
tone to know olio who so fully combined in one
character tho chivalry of tho past with the
purity of later generations. Mr. Keating was,
we relieve, tho earliest maimrocturer nrcolton
ot the rising town of Mnuayunk, iu Ponnsyl-
Catholic auixtay School Pfe Mr.
Arrangements having been nude for a pto
ntc for the children of tho Catholic Sunday
School, the occasion was celebrated on Thurs
day last. At an early hoar In tbo morning, the
children and their teacher* attended service at
the church of St. John the Baptist.
Service being over, ebaat halt post eight a
line wet formed in front of the church, under
the direction of the superintendent, Mr. P.J*
Suadlks. The teachers having been allotted
their reepectlve placet, the procceelon moved up
Drayton street to tho white Bluff Bond, tuning
off at Lover 1 * L*ne,(“whst'eln a name?"—who
knows, however, but that It suggested tome
(outer thought on this oocaukm?)—through
which they tripped with “lightsome heart and
steady tread." to the line of the Albany and
Gulf Bond.
Here wus another turn off, hut the spirit in
fused on their passage through Loeir’e lane,
lost none of its wanted cheer, es the light that
danced o'er each face, and the sounds of merry
prattlioga from childhood's lips spoke of the
happiness that reigned In that youthful group.
We must not, however, lose light ofthe teachers'
for they too formed part of the procession,
though only ns guardians. To them belonged
u part of the pleasures too, and most folly did
they realize their share In witnessing the hup.
pluess that pervaded their charge In their an
ticlpatlon ol a pic nic In the woods.
The smiles that played upon the lipsofyhutb,
the zephyrs thnt funned the glad green foliage,
and the warbling accents of nature's songsters
while trilling their pu-ams of above, seemed to
vie with each other in manifestations of grati
tude,—nil presenting a picture calling forth
the admiration ofthe beholder,and urging him
to exclaim:
“See how Uie tiny beameth brightly before us
lllue Is the firmament, greeu Is the earth :
Grief tiuth no voice in tbo universe chorus ;
Nature is ringing with music nnd tnlrlli.**
But we have “got off the track,” gentle read
er, aud for which digression must claim your
indulgence. Passing along the embankment of
the railroad, they soon arrived at their place of
rendezvous, the scene of the pic nic—a farm
about a mile beyond the limits of the city
known os " Teneyke’s.” The occupant had
kindly granted tho use of his place for the
occasion, and also assisted in the arrangements
for the celebration.
Here thejuvenile “way-worn trravellew”were
greeted under gnariedoak* and shady groves,
with every facility for childhood's gambols. Girls
as well a* boys, each to their preferred amuse
ment,were soon in the midst of hilarity, know*
ing nought of restraint—
“For youth no le*.« become*
The light ami cureless livery that it wears,
Than settled age bis sables, aud his weed
Importing health andgruvoness.”
“A queen!” "a queen!” it was suggested,
must he chosen; and to tiie elective franchise,
while yet there was freedom iu it, they went.
The result was soon known, and Miss 8. F. de
clared us the choseu sovereign. Tiie corona
tion about to take place, the blushing and de
lighted Miss was presented—
“A lovely being, scarcely formed or moulded,
A ro«ii with all its sweetest leaves yet folded.*'
The choice of » liege lord devolved on her,
and accordingly Master J. B. was soon near her
side.
At 11 o’clock lunch was provided, which
being over, playing and dancing—music also,
contributing to the entertainment—was resum
ed, aud kept up in foil spirit until dinner was
announced. Here was a pleasiug sight. The
children forming In oj»en columns, the girls on
one side nnd the hoys opposite. Down the
centre passed the superintendent, followed by
the royal group of “king, queen, maids of
honor, pages" 4 Vc., which having passed
through, the rear was closed in by the “sub.
jecta” in couples, and with becoming “ pomp
and circumstance” Huited to the occasion, made
a formal visit to the six huge tables which were
teeming witli luxuries to greet them.
The “royal family" beiug appropriately seat
ed, the others took their places at the hoard. It
was not long before justice was done to the
viands and to the comforts of each participant'
Gallantry was here observed iu all its phases,
aud juvenile wits seemed as sharp as the appe
tites that kept pace with them.
Dinner over, a change of programme took
place. Speeches, declamations, and recitations,
took the places of senps or swings, springing
boards, sea-saws, hop-scotch, marbles, and fun
in general. Of the latter item was one ofa novel
nature to us. It was that ofa bag lace, some
ten or a dozen tx>ys in bags tied round thei r
waists were the contestants for a prize; the dis
tance to be run some 40 yards.
Here was jumping and tumblhig, gettiug up
and try it again; at length the goal was reach,
ed by a bright little fellow, amid shouts of
laughter and huzzas from the spectators.

The Cumin Vfiwiifu.—The nivagee
of the By oiitbe wheat crop lb 'Virginia
this reason havo been bcyoinl all precedent.
On lido water, In tho Piedmont regi on,
and iu the fine vellcy of Virginia it lias
alike shortened tho crop one half—and
now the joint worm having commenced its
work it seems there will be bnt little left
for the sickle. With a long and universal
drought now prerailiog, it is impossible
for it to recover enough to moke half a
crop. The corn scarcely showing above the
ground was, in many places, cut down by
tho frost of the 30th of May. There is a
very great scarcity of grass, owing to the
drought
The above, say the editors the Baltimore
Sun, is tho report of on intelligent gentle
man who lias becu furming for fourteen
years in the Piedmont county of Virginia,
and who has lately passed through tliat
whole section, besides six of tiie finest wheat
growing counties oi tiie Virginia valley.

TUB CONVENTION.
Cincinnati, June 4.—The Convention met at
lialf-paat 10 o’clock. The <&inmittee reported
• platform ot resolutions •
Tim pUti’uim, altar re-affirming .that of 1862,
adverse tu the American party, stating that the
Democracy "hould clearly delina their relation*
thereto. Then follow resolution* stating, in
substance, that tbo foundation ofthe Union har
ing been built upon entire freedom in matter* of
religion, with no respect to persons or regard to
rank or place ofblrth, no party can justly be
deemed national, constitutional or In accordance
with jVmerican principles, which bases its ex*
elusive organization upon religious opinions or
accidental birth-place. Ital^o reiterates the de
claration of former Conventions on the subject
of slavery and the reserved rights of the States;
and, to more distinctly meet the issue with a
sectional purty^ubsisting exclusively on slavery
agitation.
Resolved, That tiie Democracy recognizes-
aud adopt the principles contained in the or*
g auic laws establishing the territories of Ne-
raska and Kansas, as embodying the only
sound and safe solution of the slavery question
upon which tiie great nationul idea of the
people of this country can repose iu its deter
mined conservatism of union and non-interfer
ence by Congiess with slavery in thcyiStates and
territories, f hut by uniform application of tills
Democratic principle, the organization of the
territories, and the admission of new States
with or without slavery, as the elect, the equal
rights of the States will be preserved intact,the
original compact- of the Constitution maintain
ed inviolate, nnd the perpetuation and expan
sion of the Uuion insured to its utmost capacity
of embracing, iu peace and harmony, every
future American State.
Resolved, That we recognize the right of the
people of all the territories, including Kansas
and Nebm?feu, acting through tiie fairly ex
pressed will ot the majority of actuul residents,
and wheuever the number of their inhabitants
j uslilies it, to form a constitution, with or with
out do nc-slic slavery, and to be admitted into
the Union upon terms of perfect equality with
other States.
Resolved, Tliat in view of the condition
of the popular institutions of the old world
and the dangerous tendencies of section
al agitation, combined with an attempt
to enforce civil nnd religions disabilities
against the light of acquiring citizenship in our
own laud, a high uud sacred duty bus devolved
increased responsibility upon the Democratic
party of this country, us the party of the Uniou,
to uphold aud uiaiutuiu tiie rights of every
Statu, and thereby the uuion of the States, and
to sustain nnd advance among us constitution
al liberty b.v continuing to resist all monopolies
and exclusive legislation for the benelit ofa few
at the expense of the nmny, mid by u vigilant
adherence to these principles uud to the com
promises of the constitution which are broad
uml strong enough to embrace and uphold the
Union as it. was, the Union id* it is, uml tiie
Union us it shall be in the (all expresssion of
the energies and capacities of th.> great progres
sive people.
The committee stated tliat the Kuiisas-Ne'
hrubka part ofthe platform was adopted with
perfect uuauimity. The committee did not have
perfect unanimity upon the foreign policy sug
gested, hut recommend it heartily.
The following are the resolutions appended to
the platform:
1. Resolved, That the questions connected
with our foreign policy ure inferior to no do
mestic question whatever ; tliat {the time has
come for the people of the United .States to de
clare themselves in favor of free seas, and u
progressive free Unde throughout the world,
and by solemn uprni testations, to place their
moral influence by the Mile oi their successful
example.
2. Resolved, That our geographical nnd po
litical position in reference to other States of
this continent, no less thau tiie interest of our
commerce nnd the development of our growing
power, requires that we hold sacred the princi
ples involved in tho Monroe doctrine; their
bearing and import should admit of no miscon
struction and should be applied witli unbending
rigidity.
J. Resolved, Tliat a gieat highway of nature,
ns well as the assent oi States most immediate
ly interested in tne nmintainance, has been
marked out for free communication between
the Atlantic and Fuc.iiic oceans, and constitutes
one of the most important udiime.uents reulized
by the spirit of modern times and the uncon
querable energy of our people ; that this result
should be secured by tiiuily and efficient exer
tion of the control which we have the right to
claim over it, and no power on earth should lie
suffered to clog its progress by nny interference
with tiie relations winch it may suit our policy
to establish with the governments of the States
within whose dominions it lies; aud we can,
under no circumstances, surrender our prepon
derance in the adjustment of all questionsaris
ing out of it
4. Resolved, That iu view of so commanding
an interest, the people of tiie United States
cannot but sympathize with the efforts which
nre being made by tiie people of Central Ame
rica to regenerate tliat portion of this conti
nent which furnishes a passage across the Isth
