Platform of the National Democratic Party. The Candidates. For President John C. Breckinridge, of Ken-
lucky. : For Vice President Gkn. Josei'h Lane, of Or
egon. Resolved, That the platform adopted by the Democratic party at Cincinnati be adinned, with the following; explanatory resolutions; 1. Tiial the Government of a Territory organized by an act of Congress is provisional and temporary, and during its existence all citizens of the United Stales have an eipial right to Kettle with their properly in the territory, without their right, either in person ur property, being destroyed by Congressional or Territorial legislation.' 2. That it is the duty of the Federal Government, in all the departments, when necessary, to protect the rights of persons and property in the Territories, and wherever else its constitutional authority extends. 3. That when the settlers in a Territory, having an adequate population, form a State Constitution, the right of sovereignty commences, and being consummated by their admission into the Union, they stand on an equality with the people of other States, and a State thus organized ought to be admitted into the Federal Union, whether its Constitution prohibits or recognizes the institution of slavery. 4. That the Democratic party are in favor of the acquisition of Cuba, on such terms as shall be honorable to ourselves Mnd just to Spain, at the earliest practicable moment. 5. That the enactments of State Legislatures to defeat the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law are hostile in character, subversive of the Constitution, and revolutionary in their effect. -. . ' 6. That the Democracy of the United States recognize it as an imperative duly of the Government to protect the naturalized citizen in all his rights, whether at home or in foreign lauds, to the same extent as its native borji citizens. Whereat, One of the greatest necessities of the age, in political, commercial, postal, and military point of view, is a speedy communication between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts; therefore be it resolved, 7. That the National Democratic party do hereby pledge themselves to use every means in their power to secure the passage of some bill, to the extent of their constitutional authority by Congress, for the construction of a railroad to the Pacific Ocean, at the earliest practicable moment.
THE COMPROMISE REJECTED,
We publish below, in this number, the correspondence of the Breckinridge and the Douglas State Central Committees, in relation to a Compromise Electoral Ticket As our paper is about to go to press, we have neither time nor space for extended remarks. Indeed, comment is unnecessary. Our proposition is rejected. The Douglas men, by their action in this ru.speet, proclaim to the world their preference for Abraham Liucoin as the next President of the United States !
.They put their refusal to accept our proposition
upon the ground of want of authority. This is only a
shallow excuse. Douglas Executive or Central Com
mittees have no hesitation about their 'authority' to
form coalitions with Know Nothings: but can find none
to adont measures for bindinc ur the broken frae-
-j merits ot the Uemoeratio party. - x neir uimiuiiKttj m
Indiana assumed authority to instruct delegates to ine National Convention. Their National Committee, or
a portion of it. met at the National Hotel, in Wash
ington, and assumed authority to NOMINATE a can
didate for the I we Presidency ; but when it conies to
adopting a line ot policy by which alone the .Democracy of this State can triumph, they skulk behind the plea of want of "authority." CORRESPONDENCE. Ixdiaxapolis, July 81, 1860. IIox. N. B. Palmer, Chairman, &r. At a Mass State Convention of the friends of Bhf.ckinkipge
and Lane, held in this city, this day, among other resolutions, the following were adopted:
Resolved, That whilst we disapprove of the platform of principles on which Mr. Douglas is now a candi
date, we still regard it as less objectionable than that on which 'Mr. Lincoln is placed; therefore, Resolved, That the Democratic Central Committee this day appointed, be authorized and requested to confer 'with the Central Committee appointed on the 11 th day of January last, with the view to the organizing and running of one and a joint electoral ticket, on the following basis, to-wit: , If the persons that may bo jointly agreed upon for electors shall be elected,' they shall cast the vote of
this State for that one of the two candidates for President and Vice President Breckinridge and Lane, or Douglas and Johnson who it shall be found, after the ele 'tion, is certain to receive the highest number of electoral votes from other States. That said committee be authorized, in their discretion, to asrree upon the adoption of an entirely new electoral ticket, or the running of either of the present electoral tickets, or ot a ticket composed of parts of the present electoral tickets, as may be thought most expedient. The electors who may be then agreed upon, pledging themselves, in writing, to cast the vote of the State (if elected) in accordance with this resolution. In discharge of the duty devolved upon us, we lose no time in submitting this resolution to you, in order that such action may be taken by you, and those associated with you on the committee appointed at the I Convention held in this city on the 11th of January, aj you deem proper, A reply at your earliest convenience is very desirable.

No response having been made, I feel constrained to respectfully call your attention again to this subject, and request an answer without further delay. Very respectfully yours, &c, V. II.

' Indianapolis, August 20, 1860. f Wm. II. Talbott, Esq.: Sr-Your letter of the i 1 7th instant, calling my attention to your letter of the 31st July, covering certain resolutions of a Breckin- ; ridge meeting held in this city on the 31st ult., is be- ' fore me. A meeting of the Indiana Democratic Cen
tral Committee was called for the 17th inst, but for some cause a full attendance was not accorded, and no formal action taken on the subject presented in said resolutions. I mav remark, however, that from correspondence and interchange of views, it is ascertained that the members of the Central Committee appointed at the Indiana Democratic Slate Convention, held on the 11th January last, are unanimously of the opinion that they have no authority to act in the premises contemplated in your proposals. , Very respectfully, N. B. Palmer, Chairman Ind. Dem. Central Committee. PROSPECTUS OF THE DAILY " CAPITAL CITY FACT," AND "WEEKLY STATE CAPITAL FACT."
THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED BY THE PEOPLE. That every Democratic United States Senator save only. Mr. Pugh and Mr. Douglas, endorses the nomination of Breckinridge and Lane, and will render good aid in electing them. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE ! , That in the House of Representatives' three-fifths at least, of the Democratic members, go the same ticket. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE ! That ex-President Pierce, and so far as heard from, every member of his Cabinet, are openly in the field for Breckinridge and Lane, the Union and the Con
stitution. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE ! That James Buchanan and every member of his Cabinet, including Gen. Cass, the leader of the Demoeraey in the campaign of 1848, are firm in their support of the nominees of tlie Democracy Breckinridge and Lane. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE! That Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York, and the most prominent men of the party in every State of the Union, have declared the same way. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE ! That seventeen of the States of the Union are as certain to cast their votes for Breckinridge and Lane as that the sun will rise on the morning of the election. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE I That the Electoral College consists of 303 votes,two thirds' of which are 202 Douglas' vote on the last ballot, was 1814 votes or 20A less than the requisite
two-thirds which his friends at Charleston voted for. KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE ! That when it became apparent to the friends of Judge Douglas that he could not receive 20 more votes, then they gave him the regular (.') nomination by a trick; and declared he was " nominated unanimously.". THE WHOLE TRUTH IN A NUT-SHELL. The whole number of votes cast were 194. There were 108 J delegates absent, and not voting, even after the admission of the bogus delegates from Alabama and Louisiana. Deducting these, there were but
189 J regular legal delegates or 123 less than a tull Convention present. Of the Free State delegates, 3 from Maine, 3 from Massachusetts, 2J from Connecticut, 4A from New Jersey, and 1 7 from New York-

GENERAL JOE LANE, , of Oregon, for the Presidency and Vice Presidency. A period lias arrived in the history of the old, time-honored Democratic Party, when it becomes the solemn duty of those who
love principle more than men, to take counsel of their judgments, rather than personal
preferences and prejudices, and stand forth
calmly, firmly, and fearlessly in defence of the right. We feel that we are doing this in nailing to our mast-head the colors of Breckinridgk and Lank, with the platform
of principles they have declared in their
letters of acceptance, and using all honor
able means to insure their election. In the
language of our candidate for President, let us stand by the "Constitution, and the
Equality of the States! These are sym
