Resolved, That this Convention cordially
approves Of the unwearled and impartial abors
Of our late Delegate, Gen. Henry Dodge; an
appreciation which this county unreservedly
extended TO him, al time when he thought it
necessary, in series of public addresses, to
vindicate himself from the ISLANDERS and unmer-
tied censures Of the Dememocratic party.
| Resolved, as the sense of this Convention

ments. Gen. DODGE 10 serve his constituents
for another term, our County Delegation be
instructed to nominate him for reelection.
Resolved, That the democrats OF this county
view with feelings Of high exultation the re.
turn of the people every where to the Demo.
cratic priaciple, as manifested in the recent
elections; which elections have resulted in Civ
ing more than two Democrats TO one Wing in
the next. Congress.
Resolved, That we view with profound sat-
isfaclion. the total destruction of nearly all the
an,i-republican measures resulting from the
hard cider campaign of 1910; such as Ma
iional Bank to make Presidents-a fscality
to buy up Congressmen--a distribution Of the
land revenue, and debt and taxes to make up
the deficiency with several other
measures of doubtful expediency and scarcely
within the scope Of the Constitution.
Resolved. That lead, which is the only
great staple of this country, is now produced
in quantities sufficient to satisfy the home de-
mand, and leave great balance for expectation;
it therefore becomes Us (peopls Of the wes.)
to ask the important question, why we should
sell our only staple at the price il bears in the
marke, of the world, while all our supplies
come TO to us loaded with taxes and tariffs;
which taxes yield lillle TO the government
impoverish the people-and add millions to the
gains Of particular interests and localities.
Resolved, That we as Democrats still main.
tain the principal under which we were defeat
ed 10 1910, and with which we shall obtain
certain, brilliant and lasting victory in 1874
viz. separation of Government, from banks
an economical administrations strict con-
slruc,iou of the cons,tu,ion-no abridgement
or alteration in the constitution, as is sought
for by the Whigs-no debt-no distribution
light taxes equal justice TO all. and favors to
none.
Resolved. That the Democrats of this Coun-
~ be warned against coalitions for local or
temporary objects; the grea, questions which
agitate the country appeal alike TO our patriot
ism, sense of justice, and pecuaiary interest;
and while the only safety of the poor uan lies
in the ascenjency Of the Democratic principle,
the rich man has nothing 10 hope for. and no.
thing 10 fear.
The late census OF Upper Canada gives the
population as 506,055, of which the natal
country of
1864 is England.
