J. That the federal gnvernmein is one of
I finite powers, derived solely from the
Ctfhstituiion, and the grants of powers made

the dapartmnnts ami ngottts of the govern

3. That tho constitution does not confer
authority upon the federal government, di
rectly or indirectly, to assume the debts of
the several States, contracted for local in
ternal improvements, or other State pur
poses ; nor would such assumption ho just
or oxpedient.
•1. That justice and sound polity forbid
the federal government to foster one branch
of industry to the detriment of any other,
or to cherish the interests of one portion to
the injury of another-portion of our coins
itton country ; that every citizen and every
auction of the country has a tight to dnmtiod !

ought to he raised than is required to defray
tho necessary expenses of the Government, ‘
and for the gradual hut certain extinction
of the public debt.
6. That Congress has no power to char
ter a National Hank; that we In liovo such
Hit institution ouo of deadly hostility to the I
In-si interest of our country, dangerous to
our republican institutions, and tho liber-1
tiosofthi) people, and calculated to place I
the business of tho country within tho eon- i
irol of a concentrated money power, and a- 1
hove the laws and will of tlm people, and
ill a the results of the Democratic leg-;
•■J.itinn in this and other financial measures

Government niicf the rights of the people,
8. That the liberal principles embodied
by Jefferson in the Dec! iration of Indepen

which makes ours the land f liberty, mi l

the alien anil souitiou laws from our statute j

D That Our,grots has no power under 1
tho constitution t > interfere with or control
the domestic institution- of the severu
(states, ami that all such Sure* are tho sole I
and proper judgs of oven t iog appertain-’
ing to their own tiHairs not prohibited hy
the c■institution! that till ell'iits of tho abo
litionists or ot ers made to induce Congress
id interfere with questions of slavery, or to
take incipient slops in relation thereto,
are calculated to load to tho most alarming
and dangerous coti-cqueucos, and thill such
iff arts have au inevitable tendency to dimi-
Mtdi the happiness of the people and etulaii.
gi-i- tho stability and pciinauetiey of the
Union, and ought not !-> lie countenanced
hy any friend ol our political institutions.
Resolved, That the foregoing propost
tion covers and was intended to embrace
the whole subject of slavery agitation in
• hingrcss, amt therefore the Democratic
party of the Union, standing on this nation
al platform, will abide hy and adhere to a
fiitbful cxecu iou of the acts Known as the
• oinproinise measures, settled hy Congress,
the act for reclaiming fugitive*from servile
nr labor included; which act being ilu-igu
ed to carry out hu express provision of the
constitution, cannot, with fidelity thereto,
he repealed, or so changed as to destroy oi ,
impair its efficiency.
Resolved, That the il timer itie patty
will tesist nil attempts nt renewing in Con
gress, or out of it, the agitation of the slave
ry ques ion, under whatever shape or color!
the attempt may be made.
Resolved, That the proceeds of public!
lands ought to ho sacredly applied to the
national objects specified in the constitution
and that we are opposed to any law for tho
distribution of such proceeds among the
States, as alike inexpedient in policy and
rcpugiieul to the constitution.
Resolved, That w e are decidedly oppos
ed to taki eg from the l*resident the qimli.
lied Veto power, by w hich he is enabled. 1
under reslritTious aud responsibilities amply
snficicut to guard the public interests, to
suspend the passage ol a bill w hose uuiits
cannot secure the approval of two-thirds
of the Senate aud House of Representatives
until the judgment of the people can he oh-
Inincd thereon, aud woich his saved tho
American people from the corrupt and ty
aumeal dominion of tho Hank ol the Uui
ted States, and f-om a corrupting system of
general Internal Imptovements.
Resolved, That the democratic party will
faithfully abide by and uphold the princi
pies laid down in the Kentucky and Virgi
nia resolutions of 1792 aud 1793, mid in the
report of Madison to the Virginia Legisla
ture in 1799—that it adopts those prim iplea
as constituting ono of the main foundations
of its political creed, anil is re>olveil tocnr
ry them out in their obvious meaning and
import.
That in view of the condition of the pop
ular insinuations in the Old World. a high
and sacred duly is iuvolved with increased
responsibility upon the Democracy of this
country, as the parly of the people, to up
hold and maintain the rights of every State,
aud thereby the union of the States —and to
sustain nnd advance among them constitu
tional liberty, hy continuing to resist nil
monopolies and exclusive legislation for the
benefit of die few, at the expense of the
many, and by a vigilant-find constant adhe
rence to those principles noil compromises
of the Constitution—which are I road enough
and strong enough to embrace and uphold
the Union as it is, and the Union as it
should he—in the full expansion of the en
ergies and capacity of this great and pro
gressive people,
And Whereas, Since the foregoing de
claration was uniformly adopted by our
predecessor- in National Conventions an
adverse political religious test has been se
cretly utgani/.ed by a party claiming to he
exclusively Americans, nnd it is proper that
tho American Democracy should clearly
define its rel tiimis thereto; therefore,
Resolved, Th..t the foundation of this
union of States having been laid in its pros
perity, ifpnnsioii and pre-eminent exam
ples in fteo government, built upon entire
freedom ill matters of religious concern, and
no respect of persons in regard to rank or
place of hir h, no party can ju-tly he deem
ed national, constitutional, or in Accordance
with A meric n principles which bases its
exclusive orgatti'/. tli-n upon religious opi
nions anil a ■cidental birth-place.
That wo roiterate with renewed energy
of purpose the well considered declarations
of former conventions upon sectional issue
of do tries tic slavery and concerning the re
served lights of tile States; and that we may
more uistinetlv meet the issue on w hich a
sectional party subsisting exclusively on
on slavery agitation, now relics to tost toe
fidelity of’the people, North nnd South, to
the Constitution and the Union—.
Resolved, That claiming fellow ship w ith
and desiring the co-operation of all w ho re
g ird tlie preservation ol the Union under
tho constitution as the paramount issue, and
repudiating all sectional parties and plat
forms coneerni g domestic slavery, which
seek to embroil the States tmd incite to
treason and armed resistance to law in the
Territories, and whoso avowed purposes, il
consummated must end in civil war and
disunion, tho American democracy rt-cog'-
itizo and adopt tho principles contained in
tho organic laws establishing the Territor es
ol Kansas aud Nebraska, as etnhodt ing the
only sound an I sale solution ol the slav ry
question upon which the great national idea
of the people or tlii-i whole country can re
pose in its determined conservatism of the
Union ; noil-interference hy Congress with
slavery in Stales and Territories : that this
was the basis ol tho compromises ol 1850,
confirmed hy both tho democratic and whig
parties in national conventions, ratified by
the people in the election id lß.i2,ami right
ly applied to tho orgaUr/.atton
aud the admission ol new States, with or
without domestic slavery, as they may elect
the equal rights of all the States will he
preserved intact, the original compacts of
the constitution m intained iuviolnte. uml
the perpetuation mid expansion ol this U
uion ensured to its utmost capacity ol em
bracing, in haunonv. every luitire Ainor
tnn State that may he constituted or annex
ed with n republican lortit of government.
Resolved, That we recog■ izo the right
of the people of nil tho Territories, ittelud
iog Kansas and Nebraska, acting through
the fairly expressed will of the majority ol
actual residents, and whenever the number
of their iiinnliitants justifies it, to forma
constitution, with or without'slawcry, nnd
l>e admitted into the Union upon terms of
perfect i quality with the oilier Stales.
Tin-: fohf.io.n rOLICV of the oovbknment.
Resolved, tittully, That by the ennditioii
of the popular institutions of tho old world,
and tile dangerous tendency of sectional
agitation, combined with the attempt to eu
force civil and religious disabilities against
the rigli of acquit ing citizen-hip in our own
laud, the nigh and sacred duly is devolved
with increased responsibilty upon the Dem
ocratic parly of this connlt y, ns the party
of the Union', to uphold aml maintain the
right of every State, and thereby the Union
of the States ; and sustain nnd advance a
lining us constitutional liberty hy continuing
to resist all monopolies and exelusivo legis
lation for the benefit of the few, at the ex
pense of the many—and, by the vigilant
adherence to these principles and the com
promises of tho constitution, which are
broad aud strong enough to embrace and
uphold the Union as it was, and tho Union
ns it is—the Union as it shall lie in tho full
expansion of tho energies and capacities of
the great progressive people-
Piist Resolved. That the question coils
nectad with (lie foreign policy of tho conns
try is inferior to no domestic question what
ever. The time has come for the people of
tile United States to declare themselves in
favor of free seas and progressive free irado
throughout die world. And, hy solemn
manifestations to place their moral influ
ence by the side of their successive exaui
file.
Secoud—Resolved, That our gcograplti.
cal and political positiou with reference to
tho other States of tho continent, uo less
than the interest of our commerce and the
development of our growing power, requires
that we hold to the sacred principles involv,
ed in the Monroe doctrine. Their bearing
und import admit of no mUconsttuctiou, and
should he applied with unbouding rigidity.
Thirdly—Resolved, That the great high
way which nature as well os the assent of
tho Slates most immndinteiy interested in
its maintenance has marked out for the
free communication between the Allan*
tic and the Pacific oceans, constitutes ouo
of the most important achievnients to be
realized by the spirit of moderation, in the
unconquerable energy of our people, and
that it tiuk should bo si cured by u timely!
and efficient exertion of tho control which
we have a right to claim over it. And no
power on earth should be suffered to impede
or clog its progress by any interference with
relations that it may suit our policy to estab
lish with tho government of the .“tales
within whose dominion it lies ; andivecan.
i under uo circumstances, surrender our pre
ponderanco in the adjustment of all ques
tions hi isittg out of it.
Fourthly— Resolved. That in view of so
commanding an interest the people of the
United States cannot but sympathize with
the efforts which are being made hy the
people of Central America to regenerate
i that portion of the Continent which covers
the passage across the oceanic Isthmus.
, Fifthly—Resolved, Thai the Democratic
party w ill expect from the next Administra
tion every proper effort to ho made to iu-
I sure our ascendancy m the Gull of Mexico
: and maintain n permanent protection of the
- groat outlets through which tire emptied into
its waters tho products raised oil the soil,
i and the commodities created hy the itidus
i try of the people of our Western valleys and
! the Union at large.
