may exist-and TO unite harmoniousy, vigorously,
and determineqy, in perseverng efror to preserve
the pure and cardinal principles Of the democratic
faith and to promote the success of the democratic
parry, and that with a view 10 the thorough attain

Mr. J. S. Black, from the same committee, re-
ported the following resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted:
Resolred, That uncompromisiug hostility to the
establishment of National Bank, is a fundamen-
tai rule Of our democratic faith cxpounded in the
school of jefferson and jackson.
ReSoired, That we have now, as heretofore, the
same undated confidence in this part of our creed
that we have on all other points of our poli,ica
faith, not only because we believe the creation of
bank by Congress to be a gross violation of th,
Contitu,ion, bu, also because the experience
forty years, and the united testimony of some of h
greatest and wiscst statesmen Of the nation prov
that such institution is decidedly hostile to III
principles of republican liberty, pernicious in its
ffcts upon the commerce and currency of the com
try, and subservent only TO the interests of tho,
who profit 10y ftrzing the rich mans fell wit
the sweat ofthe poor mans brow.
Resoiped, That if any other evidence than o,
own experience were needed for the purpose of su
porting their position, i, might be found in the
mission deliberately made in 1896, by the leader
the federal party, the chief of their forces in the
against Gen. Jackson, and tho president of III
bank, that the connection Of the late National Da
with the national government was injurious to b
and beneficial to neither.
Resoired, That we look upon the re-charter
the present Bank of the United States, by the |
| federal administration of Governor Ritner, to h
been act of unmitiga,ed folly, if not someth
still worse than that, upon its subsequent cond
a upendous fraud, and upon its preten,ion
be the regulator of the currency, the greatest h.
bug that federalism has played in these l.
days.
Resolred, That while we depiole the emba
ment and distress which this bank has brought
on our country at home, and the disgrace she
inflicted upon our reputation abroad as heavy
amities, we, as members of the democratic p
have a right to congratulate ourselves upon
fact, that in our steadfast adherence to principle
truth we never yielded to her seduc,ions nor q
ed before her power, but met her with the samt
fnching opposition when she bounded into
political arena with the whole federal party a
heels, that we do now when her character is
the spell Of her enchantment is broken, and
her ruined fortunes her families stink away"
ResOired, That believing this institution
the great disurber hf our monetary system
leader in suspension, and the only obstacle .
sumption, we have no desire but to get rid a
as soon practicable
