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til they are (fither repealed or declared un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. But unqualifiedly condemn
in the transmission to our shores of felons
and paupers.
VI. The essential modification of the
Naturalization Laws. V
The repeal by the' Legislature of the re
spective States," of all State- laws allowing
, foreigners not naturalized, to vote. : .
- t lie repeal, niiu .-4 . -
of all acts of Congress making grants ot
The repeal, without retroacuve opcwiiuu,
land to unnaturalized foreigners, and allow
ing them to vote in the Territories. ,
VH. Hostility to the corrupt means by
which the leaders of party have hitherto
forced upon us our rulers and our political
creeds.. , ,.;;,' . , . -.: .; ?
Implacable enmity against the prevalent
demoralizing system of rewards for political
subserviency, and of punishments for poi
litical independence. f - " ' :

X. The restriction of executive patron

of our political system; and, as the Holy

the instigation 'of those higher and more

Europe to the centre. King George while
he' was young, undertook to whip him be
cause he " was sassy. With the help of
George Washington, ho licked ithe King's
forces and took as much land as he w anted.
Sam married an American woman called
pnnstitutinn. and has by her thirty-one sons
and daughters, all Of whom are ; now living,
and ."occupy ing lands from the Atlantic to
the Pacific ocean. - Constitution has five or
six young ones still at the breast. Sam's
family, however, are, peculiar. They all
feed, fatten and "thrive upon constitution's
republican milk . and : obey their mother.
Sam protects his tamiiy by tnrowing arounu
