basis Of Dcmocr attic Constitution, not de

ting thrones and erecting republics on the
ruins of despotism in the old world, we fee |
that a high and sacred duty is devolved, with
increased responsibility upon the democrat
jc party of this country, as the party Of the
people, to sustain and advance among us
constitutional Liberty, equality and fraternity,
by continuing TO resist all monopolies and ex-
elusive legislation for the benefit Of the few
at the expense of the many, and by v;gi- |

pts and compromises of the constitution
which are broad enough TO embrace aud up

Resolped, That the fruits Of the great po-
itical triumph Of 1874, which elected JAMES
x. Polk and GEORGE NJ. DALLAS President
and Vice President of the United States,
have fulfilled the hopes Of the democracy of
the Union; in defeating The declared purpo.

The people for the use Of The people, by The
establishment of The Constitutional Treasury;
in the noble impulse given TO the cause of
Free Trade, by the repeal Of the, Tariff Of
1912, and the creation of the more equal,
honest and productive Tariff of 1886; and,
that, in our opinion, it would be fatal error
TO weaken the bands Of political organization
by which these great reforms have been
achieved, ,@and risk them in the hands OF
their known adversaries, with whatever de-

Polk, manifested by his nomination and cleo

the strictness Of his adherepce TO sound
democratic doctrines, by the purity of pur-
pose,the energyaand ability which have char

at home and abroad; that we tender TO him
our corlial congratulations upon the Brilliant
success which has hitherto crowned his patti

At the expiration of his presidential term he t
will carry with him TO his retirement the es- 2
