Illinois.-Senator Douglass in a recent speech,
says that the election ol John Moore, in that

votes in Illinois, but notwithstanding that, their
opponents “succeeded, bv aid ol Know Nothings,
Abolitionism, Fanaticism and all oilier isfis em
braced in Fusionisin, in defealing some of the
democratic candidates.” What does this prove ?
Why, that many of the democratic parly of Illi

should have prevented defeat from ali combina

POLITICAL.
The Platform and Principles of the
AMERICAN PARTY.
At a regular meeting of the National Coun
cil, of the American Party, begun and
HELD AT PHILADELPHIA, ON THE STH OF JUNE,
A. D. 1855, THE FOLLOWING WAS ADOPTED AS
.Trig Platform and Principles of the Or
ganization,. .... , .
t —The acknowledgment of that Almighty
Being; wiio rdles over the Universe, —who pre
sides over the councils of nations, —wlto conducts
the affairs of men! and who, in every step by
which we have, tfye charactcj’ of an
independent nation, has distinguished us by some
token of Providential agency. ,
ll.—The cultivation and d?vel.qpement of a
sentioient of profoundly intense American feeU
ing; of passionate attachment to our country, its
history and its institutions ; of admiration for the
purer days of our national existence; of venera
tion, for the heroism that precipitated our Revo
lution; and of emulation ol the virtue, wisdom,
and patriotism that framed our constitution and
first successfully applied its provisions.
Iff.—The maintenance of the union of these
United Elates as the paramount political good ;
or, to use the language of Washington,“the pri
mary object of patriotic desire.” And hence—
-Ist. Opposition to all attempts to weaken or
subvert it.
2d. Uncompromisingantagonism to every prin
ciple of policy that endangers it.
3d. The advocacy of an equitable adjustment
of all political differences which threaten its in
.legntv or perpetuity.
4t li. The suppression of all tendencies to poii
tical divisions,founded on “geographical discrim
inations; or on the belief that there is a real dif
ference, of interests and views” between lire vari
ous* sections of the Union.
silt. The full recognition of the rights of the
several Stales, as expressed and reserved in the
Constitution ; and a careful evidence, by the Gen
eral Government; of all interference with their
rights by legislative or executive action.
IV. —Obedience to the Constitution ol these U.
States, as the supreme law of tfie land, sacredly
obligatory upon al) its parts and members; and
steadfast resistance to (he spirit of innovation
upon its principles, however specious the pretexts.
Avowing that in all doubtful or disputed points it
may only be legally ascertained and expounded
by the judicial power cf the United States.
And, as a corollary to the above: j
1 . A hqldt of reverential obedience to t.ie laws
whether National,State, or Municipal, until they
are either repealed or declared unconstitutional
by |he proper authority.
2. A tender and i acred regard for those acts of
slalesman-liip, which are to be contradistinguish
ed Irnm acts of ordinary legislation, by Ihe (act ol
llieir being of ihe nature of compacts and agree
inents; and so, to be considered a fixed and set
tled national policy.
V. —A radical revision and modification of the
laws regulating immigration, and ifie settlement
of immigrants. Offering to the, honest ifilrnigrant
who from love of liberty or haired of oppression,
seeks an asylum in the United Stales, a friendly
reception and protection. But unqualifiedly con
demning ihe transmission to our shores of felons
and paupers.
VI. —The of the Natu
ralization Laws. MB
The rqpeal try the of the_ respect
ive States, of all State laws allowing foreigners
not naturalized to vole.
The repeal, without retroactive operation, of
all acts of Congress making grants of land to tin
naturalized foreigners, and allowing them to vote
in Hie Territories.
VII —Hostility to the corrupt means by which
the le idera of party have hitherto lorced upon us
and our political creeds.
Implacable enmity against the prevalent de
nt (.rah zhi g system of rewards for political subser
viency ,iu id of punisTlinenls fur politiot;
ence. , , ,
Disgust for the wild hunt after office which
characterizes the age. , . i
These on the one hand. On the oilier :
Imitation of the practice of the purer days of
llie Republic; and admiration of the maxim that
“office ffiould seek the man, and not man the of-
anil of die rule that, the just mode of ascer
taining fitness for office !s the capability, the
faithfulness,and the honesty of the incumbent or
candidate.
IX.—The iefortftalion of the character of qur
National Legislature, by elevating to (hat dig
nified and responsible position men of higher
qualifications, purer murals, and inure unselfish
patriotism.
X —The restriction of executive patronage,
espet ialjy in the matter of appointments to office
so far a3 it may be permitted by the Constitution
and,-consistent with the public good.
, Xl—The edifeation ol the youth of our coun
try iti schools provided by the Slate ; which
school shall be common to all, without distinc
tion of creed or party, and free,from any influ
ence or direction cf a denominational or partisan
character.’ M |
And, inasmuch as Christianity, by the Consti
tutions of nearly all the Stales; by the decisions
of the most eminent judicial authorities; and by
tiie consent of the people of America, is consid
ered an element of our political system ; and, as
the Holy Bible is at once the source ol Christian
ity, and the depository end fountain of all civil j
and religious freedom, we oppose every attempt
to exclude it from the sthools thus established in
the States. t
Vlll.—Resistance to the aggressive policy and
corrupting tendencies of the Roman Catholic
Church in our country by the advancement to all
political stations —executive, legislative, judicial
or diplomatic—of those only who do not hold civil
allegiance, directly or indirectly, to any foreign
power, Whether civil or ecclesiastical,’ and who
are Americans by birth, education and training
.—thus fulfilling the maxim: “Americans only ■
shall govern America.”
The protection of a?( citizens in the legal and
proper exercise ot their civil and religious fights
and privileges; the maintenance of the right of
every man to the full, unrestrained, and peaceful
enjoyment of his own religious opinions and wor
ship, lin'd a jealous resistance of all attempts by
any sect, denomination or church, to obtain an as
cendency over any other in the State, by means
of any Special privileges’ or exemption, by any
political Combination of i's’ m'embers, or by a di
vision of their civil allegiance with any foreign
power, potentate, or ecclesiastic.
Xll.—The American party having arisen upon
the ruins and in spite ot the opposition of t lie Whig
and Democratic parties,cannot bV in any manner
responsible for the obuoXiou* acts of violated
pledges of either. And tiie Systematic agitation
of the slavery question by tlioce parties having
elevated sectional hostility into a positive element
of political power, and brought our institutions
into peril, it Ijas therefore become the imperative
duty of the American party, to interpose for the
purpose ot giving peace tp the country and per
petuity to the Union. .And as experience has
shown it impossible to reconcile opinions so ex
treme as those which separate the disputants, and
as there can he no dishonor in submitting to tiie
laws, the National Council lias ‘teemed it the best
guarantee of common justice atid of future peace,
to abide hy anti maintain the existing laws upon
the subject of slavery, as a final and conclusive
settlement of that subject, in spirit ar.d in sub
stance.
And regarding it the highest duty to avow their
opinions upon a sulj’ect so important, in distinct
and unequivocal terms, it is hereby declared as
the sense of this National Council, that Congress
possesses no power, under the Constitution, to
legislate, upon tiie subject of Slavery in the Slates
where it does or may exist, or to exclude ahy
State from admission into the Union, because its 1
Constitution does or does not recognise the in
stitution of Slavery as a part of its social system;
and expressly pretermitling any expression of
opinion upon the power 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 Statps, and that
any interference bv Congress with Slavery as it
exists in the District of. Columbia, would be a
violation of the spirit and intention of tire com
pact by which the State of Maryland ceded the
District to the United Stales, and a breach of the
National faith. ....
XIII. —The policy of the Government of the
United States,.in its relations with foreign gov
ernments, is to exact justice from the strongest,
and do justice to the weakest; restraining, by all
tl|e power of the government, all its citizens from
interference with the'internal concerns of nations
with whom \\e are at peace.
XIV. —The National Council declares that all
the principles of the OrJer shall be henceforward
everywhere Openly avowed ; -and that each mem
ber shall be at liberty to make known Ihe exist
ence of tlje Order, and the Dot that he hitnself is
a memb&r, and it recommends that there be no
concealment of the places of meeting of subordi
nate councils. • •

bad that I had to go on crotches, and in 1849 I

nine months after my oilier leg broke out in large
eating and running sores from my knee to my
foot, and discharged a great deal of offensive
matter. My groin also broke out in. large biles
which discharged much offensive mailer, and at
the same time my left hand broke out.in large
running sores nearly to my elbow.. The misery
that i suffered tor the last two years I can

I never rested day or night.

sores all became easy, and 1 couidcleep all-night

I had taken six bottles, my sores had nearly all
healed. My sores got tvell as if by enchantment.

now consider myselt well.
I entreat all oi the afflicted to try Ibis medicine
for 1 believe it will cure any known uiseasp in tho
world. Lay aside all prejudice and just try it
and proclaim its great worth to suffering mankind
and entreat them to take it for it wi I cure them.
My ease is well known in a large portion of
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and i’
any should doubt lire above cure, I invite them (o
