BRECKINRIDGE PLATFORM. Platform of the' National Democratic Party. Tins' Candidates. For President ion C. Breckinbidok, of Kcn-

tucky. For Vict President Gen. Joseph Lane, of Oregon. 'Resolved, That the platform adopted by the Democratic party at Cincinnati he a (firmed, with the following explanatory resolutions: 1. That the Government of a Territory organized by an act of Congress is provisional and i..mnnrrv. and during its existence all citizens of the United States have an equal I igm 10 seuiu with their property in the territory, without their rights, either in person or property, being destroyed by Congressional or Territorial legislation. 2r 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. 5 Thnt when the settlers in a Territory, hav ing an adequate population, form a State Consii?;n tiio ricrlit. rf snvpivi trntv commences, and

right of sovereignty commences, nna j tiox. N. B. Palmek, Chairman, .Vc -At a luass j g.Je tif th(j U of "the Southern Minnesota," the "Minummated by their admission into the i State Convention of the friends of BkeckinkigE' lig and (dftr Vallev," and "Transit" Bailroads,

bein!j cons Union thev stand on an equality with the peopie of other States, and a State thus organized om'ht 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 ns shall be honoraW to ourselves and just to Spain, at the; ; ear host nraclisable 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 duty of the Government to protect the naturalized citizen in all his rights, whether at home or in foreign lands, to the siime extent as its native born citizens. Whereon, One of the greatest necessities of the age,' in a political, commercial, postal, and military pointof 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. PRIGE REDUCED! The Old Line Guard for 50 Cents. The back numbers of the Okl Li ne 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, FOR F I FT Y C ENTS! We have the most satisfactory evidence that The Guard has done good work, and with the addition of Mr. Cui.ley 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 Ihe creed and rallying watchwords of the Democratic party; and in advancing ihe cause, of Breckinridge and Lane:, 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, remainI at home, playinsr the carpet-knight and ., 7t i.- c .,ul et plotting for the gratification n 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 1 he Guard. We ask each one of our present subscribers, and all our speakers, to announce it everywhere, that the Guard will be furnished, three times a, tt'erAsuntil after the election, fur 50 cents. EIeverrpi.es for s-xoo. Start your subscriptions, and send them in at once, with the money, Address, Eldkr i5c IIarknkss, Indianapolis. IOWA. Synopsis of llic President's Proclamation, o.

THE COMPROMISE REJTECED.

We puhli.4 below, in this number, the correspondence of the Breckinridge and the Douglas Slate Central Committees, in relation to a Compromise Electoral Ticket As our paper is about to po 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 Lincoln 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 Committees have no hesitation about their 'authority' to form coalitions with Know Nothings; but can find none toadopt measures for binding up the broken fragments of the Democratic party. Their Committee in Indiana assumed authority to instruc t delegates to the National Convention. Their National Committee, or a portion of it, met at the National Hotel, in AVashington, and assumed authority to NOMINATE a candidate for the Vice Presidency ; but when it comes to adopting a line of policy by which alone the Democracy of this State can triumph, they skulk behind the plea of want of "authority." CORRESPONDENCE. . Indianapolis, July 31, 18G0. TIrtv. N. R. Palmer. Chairman, iVc. At a Mass and Lane, held in this city, this day, among other resoiuuuu, mo iwi8 r-" Resolved, That whilst we disapprove of the platform of principles on which Mr. Douglas is now a candidate, we still regard it as less objectionable than that on which Mr. Lincoln is placed; therefore, Resolved. That the Demot J Resolved. That the Democratic Central Committee lonzed and requested to ommittee appointed on the 1 1th dav of January last, with the view to the organT izinr and running of one and a joint electoral ticket, 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 ot this State tor that one of the two candidates for 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 discre tion el en of most expedient. The electors who may be then agreed upon, pledging themselves, in writing, to 'east 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 tnken by you, and those associated with you on the committee appointed at the Convention held in this city on the 11th of January, as vou deem proper.
