Which committee reported the following

ReeoIred, That the country included with
in the parallels of 42 and 81 degrees 40
minutes north latitude, and extending from
the Rocky mountains to the Pacific ocean,
known as the territory of Oregon, is the pro-
perty, and part and parcel of the United
States.
Resolued, That there exists no power in
this government to transfer its soil, and the
allegiance of its citizens, to the dominion,
authority, control, and subsection of any fore
ign prince, state, or sovereignty.
Resolued, That the abandonment or sur
render of any portion of the territory of Ore
gon, would be an abandonment of the honor,
the character and the best interests of the
American people.
RESOLVED, That immediate notice to ter
inmate the convention with Great Britain in
respect to the Oregon territory, should be
given, and we rejoice that the Hon. William
Allen, Senator from Ohio, has introduced
resolution to that effect in the United States
Senate, and the democracy of Ohio expects
her Representatives in Congress, to support
the measure, and pledges her lives, her for
tunes, and her sacred honor, to maintGin the
American right to the whole of Oregon
Resolved, That we rejoice to see the posi-
ton occupied by Ohio's fayorite son, William
Allen, as Chairman of the Committee of
Foreign Affairs, in the United States Senate;
and, we are we'll assured that by his high
courage and eminent talents, American
honor and American rights will be main
tanned.
Reso1ped, That we hail with admiration,
hope and courage, the noble stand taken by
David Tod in his letter read to this Conyen-
ton, upon the subject of Banking and the
Currency; and with " uncompromiSing hos
tility to the frauds of Banking and Paper
Cyrrency" inscribed upon our Banner, we
commit it to his hands with the assured con-
6dence that it will never be deserted and
never surrendered"
Resolped, That the Democracy of Ohio
ore opposed to all Paper Currency, and are
resolved to return to the constitutional cur
rency of gold and silver.
ReSolDed, That the Democracy of Ohio
are opposed to all chartered and special pri-
vleges, as destructive to equality and hostile
10 free institutions, and from henceforth and
forever declare against them uncompromisng
hostility.
Resogped, That we are in favor of tariff
for revenue purposes, strictly for the support
of the General Government, but opposed to
a protective tariff, which indirectly taxes the
many for the benefit of a few, and which
builds up monopolies hostile in their very
nature to civil liberty.
ResoJued, That the constitutional Treasury
system with " the specie clause" such as was
adopted by the revolutionary Congress, under
the administration of Washington, and re-
enacted under Martin Van Buren,, is demand
ed as measure of safety TO the General
Government, as the only means of cutting
the Government loose from corrupt and
corrupting alliance with bank and bankers.
The people never intended that the funds of
the national Treasury should be used by
banks as basis for the issue of paper
money.
Resolved, That the proceedings Of this
be signed by the officers of the
and published in the democratic
papers of the State, together with the letter
addressed to this convention by David Tod;
and that d. A. Robertson, Russell Knapp, ID.
Gotshall and w. d. Morgan, be committee

Der Of copies in pamphlet form as they deem
necessary.

ment to the report of the committee:
Resolped, That we are in favor Of the
immediate collection and disbursement OF
the revenue of this state, in gold and silver.
