Whereas, it appears necessary, in the
present peculiar state Of affairs, political
and otherwise, that the views and feelings
Of the Democracy Of Iowa should be made
known-therefore we, the democrats Of
Jefferson county, in convention assembled,
do resolve as follows:
lst. That we have full faith and conf.
dence in the administration of James X.
Polk; that we believe under his admins
tration the national honor will be sustained,
and that neither the diplomacy of some Of
the nations Of Europe nor the threats Of
others will be able to deter our government
from insisting on what is right and resist
ing what is wrong.
End. That we deem the cause Of democ-
racy the cause Of justice and truth; yet,
We believe that this can best be sustained
and only sustained by thorough and ef-
ficient organization.
Sd. That the constitution, as it came
from the hands Of the convention, breathes
the will Of the democracy, and as such shall
and will receive our united support.
4th. That we have full faith and conf
dence in our late delegate TO Congress, A.
G. DoDcE, and we believe him fully entl-
tied to the continued support Of the democ-
racy Of Iowa.

egation Of 8 members to attend the Terri.
torial Convention to be held at Iowa City
on the I'd Wednesday Of June next, and
that said delegation be instructed to obtain

as our candidate for Congress as
we do, confident he viii as heretofore make
US q good and efficient delegate, and one Of
whom the democracy Of Iowa need not be
ashamed.
9th. That the democracy Of jefferson
pledge themselves to give their cordial sup
port to the nominee of the Convention, and
that principles, and not men," shall be
their governing motto.
