lcCi' sPS''hSu'y enumerated The CONSTITUTIONS,
leaving Industry 10 regulate ITSELF"
RESOLVED, That, in the action of the dscordant
materials of which the present administration marty
is composed, we can see most clearly that the re-
cent triumph Of the federal arslocracy was broupht
about by political combinations of The most con.
hicring principles, for the purpose of securing the
spoiIs Of victory, rather than The interest and well
fare of the whole people, and that the recent yicto-
ry they achieved was the result ola temporary de-
rium produced by deception and clanior, rather
Than the offspring of clear conviction, proceeding
from calm discussion and sober reason.
ReSolrcl, That the present administration have
thus far persegerlngy and systematically belled
many Of the principles upon which they sought,
and upon which they Obtained power, thus making
their practices mock their professions, and showing
in light too clear to admit of doubt, that their
great and only object was TO obtain the ascendancy
in the government for selfish purposes, at whatev-
er cost and sacrifice.
Resolved, That if an increase of expenditure
on the part of the General Government, is evidence
of such extravaganza as to require change Of ad-
minisaon To remedy the evil, like increase Of
expenditure in our State government, should, de-
nand, at the hands of the same men, a smilur
remedy, and that in view of this principle, we COM
mend to the people Of this State a careful consid-
Grafton of the fact that since 1885, the expenses Of
lNt 1uFeTUiltNL l0Nt UiCIcuseu rom uDOul my
to ninety thousand dollars.
Resolrei That notwithstanding the disastrous
result of our efforts in the late political contest, 10
establish and perpetuate Democratic principles, we
feel the utmost confidence in the FINAL success Of
those principles, and have higher impulse aud
stronger zeal TO labor for their predominance in
the administration of the Government.
Resolrei That we look back with proud sat-
slhclion TO the dignfed and statesman like bear
ng of our late President, both before and after the
presidential contest, and that highest confidence
and respect follow him into the retirement which
he is now ENJOYING feeling we do that he fell on
~ because truth and argument were not n match
for blind enthusiasm, impudent fAlschood, and
senseess parade.
The resolutions wero separately and ably dis
cussed by Messsrs Dillingham;, Barber, spald-
ing, Farr, and others and unanimously adopted.
