BRECKINRIDGE PLATFORM. Platform of the National Democratic Party. The Candidates. : r For President John C. Breckinridge:, of KenFor lice President Gut;. Joseph Lane, of Or- ' egon. ' ' Resolved, That the platform adopted by the Democratic party at Cincinnati be affirmed, with the following explanatory resolutions: 1. That the Government of a Territory organized by an act "of Congress is provisional and temporary, and during itsexislence-rII 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, 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 properly in the Territories, and wherever else its constitutional authority extends. . ' . 3. That when the settlers in a Territory, bavin' an adequate population, form a State Constitution, the right of sovereignty commences, and beitv consummated by their admission into the

Union, they stand on an equality wiui. me fcupie of other States, and a State thus organized j ought to be admitted into the Federal Union, j whether its Constitution prohibits or recognizes i the institution of slavery. 4. That the Democratic party are in favor of the acquisition of Cuba, on such u-rms 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 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 same extent as its native born ci'izens. Whereas, One of the ' greatest necessities of the ae, 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 RE 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 IPTY O E NTS ! "".We- have the most satisfactory evidence that The Guard has done good work, and with the addition of Mr. Cllley 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 ihe people of all the States, and which must ultimately become Ihe creed and rallying watchwords of ihe Democratic party; and in advancing the cuisc of Urkckinkidgk and Lanf., 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, remain-, ed 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

nished, three times a week, until after Ihe election, for 50 cents. Eleven copies for 5.00. Start your subscriptions, and send them in at once, with the money.

7" THE COMPROMISE REJTEOED, We publish below, in this number, the correspondence of tho 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 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 to-adopt measures for binding up the broken fragments of the Democratic party. Their Committee in Indiana assumed authority to instruct delegates to the National Convention. Their National Committee, or a portion of it, met at the National Hotyh hi Washington, and assumed authority to NOMINATE a candidate for the Vice Presidency ; but when it conies to adopting a lino of policy by which alone the Democracy of this State can triumph, they skulk behind the plea of want of "authority." CORRESPONDENCE. IxDiAN-AroLis, July 31, 18G0. IIox. N. B. Palmer, Chairman, jVc. At a Mass State Convention of the friends of Bkkckixkidge and Lane, held in this city, this day, among other resolutions, the-following were adopted; : Resolved, That whilst we disapprove of tho 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 Democratic Central Committee this day-appointed, be authorized and requested to confer with the Central Committee appointed on the 1 ltli day of January last, with tlie view to the organizing 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 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 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 present electoral tickets, or of 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 Convention held in this city on the 11th of January, as vou deem proper. A reply at your earliest convenience is very desirable. Respectfully, W. II. Talhott, Chairman, &e. 1st District, Jso. B. Gakdineh, 2d " L. Sparks, 3d " Jeo. II. Kyle, : 4th " B. F.

Lane, held in this city July 31st, havimi for its object the running of one and a joint eloci toral ticket, thereby enabling us to secure harmony i -and success in our party in this State.

Talbott, Esq.: Sir Your letter of the I 1 7th instant, calling my attention to your letter of the 1 31st July, covering certain resolutions of a Brec kin- ! ridge meeting hold in this city on the 31st ult., is bef fore me. A meeting of the Indiana Democratic Central Committee was called for the 17th inst., but for ' some cause a full attendance was not accorded, and no formal action taken on tho subject presented in said resolutions. I may remark, however, that from correspondence j j and interchange of views, it is ascertained that the! members of tho Central Committee appointed at the Indiana Democratic Stale Convention, held on the; llth January last, are unanimously of the opinion that they have no authority to act in the premises contemplated in your proposals. ; ' Very respectfully, N.
