For the Empire State. A. A. Ganlding, Esq— Sir : I will ask the privilege of your col umns to join issue with the Editor of the Amer ican Union, on an editorial of his of the 26th of July, in which lie has undertaken to prove Ms riatform a better one for the South than the one adopted at Cincinnati ; but instead of proving what he set cut to. do, he has digress ed far from his subject, and is pricking at the old wound made on his political body last Feb ruary by the repudiating of the American Plat form of June, 1855, and which he has done all he could, or at least all he to heal, but his applications being only ISew \ork Freesoil and Tennessee Grease, have proved thus far en tirely futile in making a permanent cure, and he is trying to see what effect it will have on his wounds by contrasting his Platform with that adopted by his political opponents at Cin cinnati ; and if he does not do better than in the article above mentioned, he will fail to con vince the minds of the American Party, tlio’ it may be an unction to his own soul, and I hope he will produce some argument of suffi cient strength contrasting his Platform with the one adopted at Cincinnati, so as to give me a chance to join issue with him on the subject, which I would be glad to do at an early date, until which I will drop that part of the subject, and turn my attention to that which seems so near the gentleman’s heart, to wit : the repu diation of the Platform of ’55, and the adop tion of his Platform. I will endeavor to show wherein the American. Party has lost bv the repudiation, not believing, however, that I shall make it sufficiently plain for the Editor of the American Union to see it through the cobwebs of “party” which surround his political vision, but to show him that some of the American Party will not repudiate the old Platform and accept his, but will try to find one which bet ter coincides with their feelings. The 12th resolution of the Platform of June, 1855, reads as follows: “The American Party having risen upon the ruins of, and in spite of the opposition of the Whig and Democratic Parties, cannot be held in any manner respon sible for the obnoxious acts and violent pledges of either, and the systematic agitation of the slavery question to those parties having elevat ed sectional hostility into a positive element of political power, and brought our institutions in to peril, it has therefore become the imperative duty of the American Party to interpose and give peace to the country, and prosperity to the Union ; and as experience has shown it impossible to reconcile opinions so extreme as those which separate the disputants, and as there can be. no dishonor in submitting to laws, the National Council has deemed it the best guarantee of common justice and of future ]>eacc, to abide by and maintain the existing la ic s upon the subject of slavery, as a final and con clusive settlement of that subject in spirit and in substance, and regarding it the highest duty to avow their opinions on a subject so important in distinct aoul unequivocal terms, it is hereby declared as the sense of this National Council, that Congress has no power under the Constitu tion to legislate upon the subject of slavery in the States where it docs or may exist, or to exclude cm/ Mate from admission into the Union be cause its Constitution does or does not recognize the institution of slavery as a part of its social system ; and expressly pretermitting an expres sion of opinion upon the power of Congress to establish or prohibit slavery in any territory, it is the sense of this National Council, that Con gress 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 of Co lumbia, would be a violation of the spirit and in tention of the compact by which the State of iSla i yland ceded the District to the United States , and a breach of the National faith” These are the words of the 12tli resolution, which the Editor of the American Union repu diates so readily for the Ith resolution of his Platform ; and for fear some may cavil, and think it is not really the 12th resolution of the old Platform, because it is published in a De mocratic paper, I will state for their benefit, that it is copied from the Chronicle & Sentinel of June the 20th, 1855, which certainly would not falsify any thing to the injury of its party. No true American need be ashamed of that resolution. Now I will give all in his Platform that ; ‘ squints’’ at the slavery question, for there is j nothing in distinct and unequivocal terms, that ’ the recognition of the right of the native born and the naturalized citizens of the United States, permanently residing in any Territories thereof, to frame their Constitution and laws, and to regulate their domestic and social af fairs in these, or made subject only to the Fed eral Constitution, with the right of admission whenever they have the requisite population for one Representative in Congress. 1 ask any candid reader is there any thing in the above saying Congress shall not legislate on the sub ject in the Territories of the United States ? Oh, says one, it says the right to regulate their domestic and social affairs.* Well, what does that mean ? Did it mean what the 12th reso lution did ? Yes. Well, why not put it in plainer terms ? There is only two reasons that I can see for not doing it. The Freesoil wing of the American Party can hold it up to their fanatic constituents at the North, “no slavery mentioned here ; they perfectly repudiate the slavery question in their Platform ; give you all you ask for the sake of the Union.” Yet the Editor of the Union compares his oppo nent’s Platform to a “Piebald.” I thank thee, Durr, for that word suits you exactly. The other reason, and the one I reckon that influ enced the Avise minds at Philadelphia, to put in just so many words, Avas to set an economical example to the public in condensing their Plat form into as small a place as possible, and to give more room in their columns for windy ar tides on “Americans shall rule America,” as t hough we Avere under the government of a for eign Potentate ! Does it say that Congress shall not have power to interfere with slavery Avliere it does exist ? If it does, I tvould like to see it. Or does his ‘Piebald’ Platform say Congress shall not legislate on slavery in the District of Columbia ? No, not so much as ‘squints’ at it 1 the Editor of the American Union well knows 1 The Abolitionists have long contended for that one thing, and .all oth er parties have denied Congress the right to in terfere with slavery in the District, in as bold language as his Party did in their old Platform, and quoted above. But his Platform has given this bone of contention to the beloved of the North as a sweet morsel they have long wished to roll under their tongues for lo these many years ; and in return, they were expected to take a dose of “Oil” from Tennessee, and who knows but the wise heads which framed ms Platform, expected said dose of “Oil” to re turn them the bone again at some future time, Avith good interest ? The Platform of 1855 not only agreed to abide by, but to maintain the existing laws on the slavery question as a final and conclusive settlement ol the subject in spirit and in sub stance. Now what does the 13tli resolution of his Platform say 1 I will not, however, trespass upon the readers of your valuable paper by quoting all the resolutions, but will only quote sufficient to show what a great difference there is in the two Platforms. In reference to this question, it says, “opposition to the reckless and unwise policy of the present Administra tion, as shown in re-opening sectional agitation by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and us shown in the vascilating course on the Kan sas and Nebraska question.” Thus spoke the builders of his Platform ! What an “about face” in less than nine months! In June, 1855, they endorsed the Compro mise Measures, the repeal of the Missouri Com-1 promise, and the Kansas Nebraska question.— ! In February, 1856, they abuse the present Ad-; ministration for passing those very measures ! j 11 is not necessary here for me to speak of the | present Administration ; but suffice it to say, i that in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise,! an odious restriction against the South was re moved from off the Territories. So thought the American Party last year, and now very few will endorse it. Why ? Decause we had to do as we have done to carry a Northern State, and to male cur Parly a National one, Probably you may carry a Northern State, as I hear Fillmore and Fremont’s friends meet on the 4th of this month in Pennsylvania to unite for the purpose of defeating Buchanan. A victory gained by such an union, would in deed be in accordance with his Platform, and you are welcome to all the honors accruing from such an union, as far as lam concerned. But 1 know there are many of the old American Party who will not endorse his ‘Piebald’ Plat form, and would say to all of the American Party yet on the old Platform, read with atten tion the Piebald Platform, that Mr. Fillmore so eagerly endorses, as well as expressing his feelings and sentiments ; and if it contains his views, the old cannot, for there is all the differ ence between the two. This Piebald coincides, to some extent , with the one on which Fremont stands, or at least there seems to be a good deal of sympathy between the two, as so many Southern Americans desire to vote for Fillmore side by side with Fremont, if he would but re sign, and a great many wish that he would do so, as it would greatly benefit Mr. Fillmore in his hopeless cause. Also, get the Platform of June, 1855, con trast the two, and sec for yourselves if the par ty you acted with last year have not repudiat ed all of their principles, excepting their wild hunt after Foreigners and Catholics ! “Disgust” after office was another of their cardinal principles. Why it was not engrafted in his Piebald Platform, I know not ; but per haps in his future editorials in contrasting Plat forms, he will give us the reasons, as it appears to suit his feelings. ltcmarkable. well I would like for him to show those that are on his Piebald Platform : where the Cincinnati Platform endorses Filli busterism and Squatter Sovereignty, as he thinks it is the principal ingredient of said Plat form. So come up to the stake in your next contrast, which I hope to see soon, as I have taken up the gauntlet w h icli you have so galantly thrown down ; and you would do more honor to your feelings in battling for that, than pricking nt the old wound of last February, of which W. S. Jones, Editor of the Chronicle & Senti nel, now a strong Fillmore paper, said, was not at all adapted to Southern latitude, or indeed in any latitude where the people possess suffi cient patriotism to maintain the constitutional rights of the South. What a comment on his own paper, and many others in Georgia. I endorse the Chronicle, and believe their asser tions, and believe there arc many, very many Americans South who will knock off the shack les of party, and do the same next November. TRIMMER, READ!READ! DR. W. R.
