]tude and character demands a full dis
play Of that frmness, wisdom and in
tegrity which should distinguish moi
less in defeat than in victory, the move
ments Of that great party. h's
To the end therefore, that there may
be no delay in our organization, nor any
obscurity in the announcement Of our
political principles; be it
Resolved, That we recommend that
the democratic party Of Ohio be forth
with placed in complete organization
for the ensuing election, so that every
man in ITS ranks may come to the
charge next October, with that precis-
ion and energy which ensure the VIC
tory. alt
Resolved, That in the ensuing fall
election, the democratic party should,
among other things, exert themselves.
1st. To maintain the freedom and
independence of the State, and deliver
it from the bondage Of corrupt, ire
sponsible and swindling system of mo-
by the immediate repeal of the
act passed by the federalists, in the last
styled "anact to incorporate
the State Bank of Ohio, and other bank
ing companies"
I'd. To provide safe and efficient
for the people against frandu,
lent banking institutions, and other cor>
porations, by restoring the laws repeal
ed by the federalists, rby passing oth>
er efficient laws for that purpose.
Sd. To amend or repeal the unjust
provisions Of the present tax law, by
means ofwhich the capital of bankers
is exempted, and heavy burdens impos.
ed upon the property and industry Of
the people.
Resolved that the federal party Of
Ohio, in changing the congressional dis
tricts and altering the boundaries of
counties, for the purpose Of acquiring
political power, have furnished anoth-
er instance Of their disregard Of law
and precedent, and their willingness to
adopt any measure, however new, un>
Just, or revolutionary. that may serve
to crafty their lust for power.
Resolved, That hostility to the right
of suffrage has always been a leading
trait Of federalism, and to impose bur-
dens and restraints upon the right of
suffrage has ever been favorite OBJ
iect Of federal legislation. According
Iy, the federalists in the Ohio Legisla-
ture. by the act requiring electors
names to be registered, not only violat-
ed the constitution Of the State, but fur
nished convincing proof, .
First: That federalism will now, as.
heretofore, seek every occasion to re-
strict the right Of voting. ~. l. =
Second: That the federal legislators
Of the present day, influenced by the
same malignant spirit, are worthy fol>
lowers Of those who enacted the alien
and sedition laws. u
Third: That the spirit of whiggery
and Native Americanisln is identical.
N Resolved, That democratic meas
ures can best be carried out BY those
entertaining democratic principles, and
hence II is the duty Of those entrusted
with the selection of public servants to
appoint and retain only such as accord
in principle, past experience having
shown the, evil of a democratic admin
istration appointing or retaining its op-
ponents in Office, and that such policy
is alike injurious to the public interests
and unjust to the party BY whom the
administration has BEEN placed in
power. la 5F-s ''n#3E5
