} hospitalties of the citizens of Columbu:
aud IFS vicinity.
ReSOlue2. That in Martin Van Buren, W,
have seen patriot without guile-a soun,
unwavering democrat, whose conduc
during the late Presidential campaign, ,ha
served but to increase our respect for tn,
man, and our admiration of his character
as Statesman.
ResOlUed. That the promises of the
wings, in the event of their accession tc
power, Of two dollars day and roast bee
to the workingman, and high prices to thu
farmer for his produce. yet RENAME to
be fulfilled, and that instead of redeem
ing said promises, we hear complaints OF
the mechanics in the employ Of the gov
eminent. at the Armories and Navy yards
being compelled to work more hours and
for less pay than under the administra.
tion of Martin Van Buren,.
ReSOIved, That the confidence prom
ised by the federal party after the elec.
ton of their President, has not yet came
to pass, except, indeed, it be in restoring
confidence to the democratic party in
their power TO rescue The country from
the hands of the old federal party, and
confidence to the people, that the democ-
racy are alone made of the stuff to carry
the ship State safely past the quicksand
and breakers which now surround it,
ResolUed, That after the false and I'M
founded charges against Martin Van Blu.
rem, of attempting to establish a standing
army TO subjugate the liberties3of the peo.
pie, we cannot but express eur surprise
and adherence at the sad spectacle of an
administration proffering troops to
the Anti-Suffrage Governor of
Rhode Island, to maintain, against the
express will of the people of that State,
a royal charter at the point of the bayo-
net, in place Of a constitution; and that
too, while the constitution of the United
States guarantees to every State Re-
publican form of government.
ReSolred, That the late meeting of gem
tIemen, protesting to be democrats, in
West Union, in favor of a State Bank ,ex.
cites our surprise and regret; and that
we cannot concur in the policy that would
force our state to borrow money at a ru-
inou5 sacrifice, to place in bank, while
the contractors on our public works are in
a suffering condition.
Rcsolped, That the acts Of the last
in compelling the Banks to
resume ard continue specie payments,
although denounced with bitterness by
the federal party, was call editor by every
act of wisdom aud justice, and that we
are willing to JON issue with our oppo-
nents upon that question, and try it be-
fore a jury of the people.
ResOlue't, That the pledges made by
the democratic members OF the Ohio
in regard to bank reform, have
been CALAMITY fulfilled, and To them be-
longs the high honor ofbeng the first bo-
dy ofmen who have enacted laws to curb
the swindling operation of bankers, which
they have been forced to obey, aud that
in this, we see the harbinger of a brighter
day, future, in which menopolists no
longer defraud and swindle the cOmmuni'
ty with impnnity.
ResoIred, That the Senate Of the United
States, in refusing TO do justice TO that
war,worn defender of his Country, Cen.
JACKSON, by refunding to
him the fas Of $1,000, illegally imposed
npon him by Judge Hall, in 1915, for saw
ing New Orleans, meets our most decided
and we trust that, as long
IS Ohio has a democra tic Senator, year
after year, and session after session, they
will bring that matter before Congress,
IS Col. Benton did the expunging resolu-
lions, until this last foul stain upon his
name be washed out, and justice be done
