Jit a reolar meeting of the National Oym cil of the American Party, begim and held at Philadelphia, on the 51 h of June, Ji. J). 1 855, the following was adopted as t.ie Platform and Principles of the Organiza tion : 1. The ' acknowledgment.' -of that Al uiightv Being who rules over the - Universe, 'who presides over the rmmriisoi nations, whoeonduets the affair's ot'flien, and who, in cTvery step hy winch we Ijiave advaneed Hl J. Jr.is dislinguifid us -by some token, ol pro videuiial agtnry. s I.The eultivatibn ad development of asentiinent of profoundly intense Ameri can feeling; of passionate attachment to our country its history and its institutions; 'W admiration for the purer days of our na tional existence; of veneration for the hero ism that precipitated our Revolution ; and ,.T,,.r.i.tf.r tit nn lntleoenaeiu nanon of emulation oi the virtue, wisuom aim il notismi that framed our constitution, -and first successfully-applied its provisions. t iII.'J'J1(v maintenaiice of the Union of r these Uuited States as the paramount po aiticai gbil ; or, to use the languarge of Washington, " the primary object of pat riotic desire." IM. Opposittott'to ail attempts to weak t?n Or subvert it. " -2d. Uncompromising antagonism to every, j 'principle of policy that endangers it. " lid. The advocacy of an equitable ad- i ustmcnt of nil political differences which threaten its integrity or perpetuity. 4th. The suppression of all tendencies to political division, founded on geo rranhicardiscriminatioiis, or on the beliel that there lis a real! difference ol' interests Land vicW' .between the various sections of the Union. 5th. The full recognition ,f the rights of tlie several States, as expressed and reserv ed in the Constitution; and a careful avoid- aucc, by the General Government, of all interference with their rights, by legislative 'or executive action. ' IV. Obedience to the Constitution of these United States, as the supreme law of the land, sacredly obligatory upon all its parts and members; and steadfast resistance -.to the spirit of innovation upon its princi ples, however specious the pretexts. A vowing that in all doubtful or disputed points it niaymly be legally ascertained and ex pounded by the judicial power of the Unit ed States. j And, as a corollory tothe above : 1. A habit of reverential pbediece to the laws, whether National, or Municipal, un til they are (fither repealed or declared un constitutional by the , proper authority. 2. A tender and sacred regard for those acts of statesmanship which are to be con tradistinguished from acts Of ordinary leg islation, by the fact of their being of the nature of "compacts and agreements ; and sO, to be considered d fixed and settled na- ;.jtional policy; V.-i-A radical revision and modification ' of the laws regulating immigration, and the settlement of immigrants. Offering to the honest immigrant who, from love of liberty ,or hatred of oppression,; seeks an assylum in the United states a lnenuij and protection.
