BRECKDEIDQE PLATFORM. Platform of the National Democratic Party. Tub Candidates. -For President John C. Breckinridoe, of Kentucky. For Vice President Guvs. Joskph Lank, of Oregon. Resolved, That the platform adopted by the Democratic parly at Cincinnati be affirmed, with the following explanatory resolutions: 1. That the Government of a Territory organized br an act of Congress is provisional and

temporary, and during its existence all citizens " of the United States have an equal right to settle with their property in the territory, without

their rights, either in person or property, oeing destroyed by Congressional or Territorial legislation. 2. That it is the duty of the Federal Government, in all the departments, when necessniy, 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 fight of sovereignty commences, and being consummated by their admission into the Union, they stand on an equnlity with the people of other States, and a Slate thus organized ought to be admitted into the Federal Union, whether iis 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 and just to Spain, at the earliest practicable moment. 5. That the enactments of State Legislatures to defeat the faithful execution of thu 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 duty of the Government to protect the naturalized citizen in all his rights; whether at home or in foreign lands, to the same extent as its native born citizens. Whereas, One of the greatest necessities of the age, in a 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. PRICE REDUCED ! The Old Line Guard for 50 Cents,

The back numbers of the Old Line Guard having become exhausted, and in order to place it within the reach of every National Democrat, and extend its usefulness, we have determined to reduce the price, and furnish it, until the. election, THREE TIMES A WEEK, F O R F IFT Y CENTS! ; We have the most satisfactory evidence that The Guard has done good work, and with the addition of Mr. Cullky to the Editorial Department, no labor will be spared to make it effective in establishing those principles of justice and equality which should ever regulate the interests and intercourse of the people of all the States, and which must ultimately become the creed and rallying watchwords of the Democratic party; and in advancing the cause of Breckinridge and Lank, those Patriots and Statesmen who have proved on distant battle-fields their devotion to their country, while others, who are now seeking the suffrages of the people, remained at home, playing the carpet-knight and plotting for the gratification of an unholy ambition. Let our friends now go. to work, and see that the Guard is circulated in every county that it is in the hands of every good National Democrat. Let the principles of the cause we advocate be known no better agent can be used for this purpose than the Guard. We ask each one of our present subscribers, and all our speakers, to announce it everywhere, that the Guard will be fur-; rushed, three times' a toeek, until after the election, for 50 cents. Eleven copies for 5.00. Start your subscriptions, and send them in at once, with the money. Address, Eldkr 6c Harkness, Indianapolis. IOWA.

THE COMPEOMISE REJTE0ED.

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 nancr is about to co 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 respect, proclaim to the world their preference for Abraham Lin-

JJV AUTHORITY.

coin as the next President ot 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 Committees have no hesitation about their 'authority' to form coalitions with Know Nothings; but can find none

I to adopt measures for binding up the broken frag

ments ot the Democratic party, meir uomnutiee m Indiana assumed authority to instruct delegates to the National Convention. Their National Committee, or

a portion of it, met at the National Hotel, in Wash

ington, and assumed authority to NOMINATE a candidate for the Vice Presidency ; but when it comes 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. LvDiANAroi.is, July 81, 18G0. Hon. N. B. Palmer, Chairman, fee. At a Mass

State Convention of the friends of Bhkckixkidge and Lane, held in this city, this day,, among other resolution, the following were adopted: Resolved, That whilst we disapprove, of the platform

of principles on which Mr. Douglas is now a rancli-

! date, we still regard it as less objectionable than that j on which Mr. Lincoln is placed; therefore, ! Resolved. That the Democratic Central Committee I this day appointed, be authorized and requested to ! confer with the Central Committee appointed on the ! 11th day of January last, with the view to the or-jan-! izing and running of ono and a joint electoral ticket, I on the following basis, to-wit: If the persons that may be jointly agreed upon for electors shall be elected, they shall cast the vote of this State for that one of the two candidates for Presi ident and Vice President Breckinridge and Lane, or Douglas and Johnson who it shall be found, after ; the election, is certain to receive the highest number of electoral votes from other States. ;. That said committee be authorized, in their discretion, to agree upon the adoption of an entirely new electoral ticket, or the running of either of the pres

ent electoral tickets, or ot a ticket composed ot parts

ot the present electoral tickets, as may i most expedient.

j; The electors who may be then agreed upon, pledg-

1 ing themselves, in writing, to cast the vote ot 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 Convention held in this city on the 11th of January, as you deem proper. A reply at your earliest convenience is very desirable. Respectfully,
