The committee on resolutions then report
ed the following, which were unanimously
adopted:
/. Resolved, That by the adoption of the
New Constitution the Democratic party has
obtained victory worthy of the years of
struggle to achieve it.
/ Q, Resolved, That in the New Constitu-
ton we recognize as principles cardinal in
the Democratic faith
The election of all officers by the people,
The limitation of State Indebtedness, and
provision for the payment of the debt which
exists.
Equal taxation-eompelling the property
of the rich, invested in stocks, to bear a pro-
portion of the public burthens by contributing
to the taxes of the State.
The restraints upon the Legislative power
--confning it to the legitimate subjects Of
general legislation,
And the crowning glory of repeal, which
secures the people, sovereign always, from
ever becoming slaves to any law or charter
passed by their servants.
8. Resolved, That the new constitution
creates government of delegated power
merely. That lpowers not expressly dele
gated, or necessarily implied to execute
those powers, remain with the people. And
that every act Of the legislature not authori-
zed by the constitution itself is contrary tc
the theory and structure of the Government
and dangerous TO the liberties of the people
/ 4. Resolved, That we adhere to the reso
lutions on National affairs passed in the De
mocratic Convention of 1848, and reaffirmeC
by the convention of 1850.
4 5. Resolved, That the present Wing ad-
ministration of the general Government ii
its reckless squandering of millions of the
public money annually, and by its wantor
violation of pledges, and in its indiscriminate
and unprincipled prescription, has shown it
, self unworthy of the confidence of any peo
pie.
6. Resolved, That we approve Of the ad
ministration of our Chief Executive, his man
ly bearing, prudent counsels and sound de
mocratic doctrines, and we commend him tc
the people as worthy the high position he
now occupies, and well deserving the trust o
our standard in the ensuing campaign.
7. Resolved, That the ticket we this day
present to the people is well worthy Of thei
united support. Honest and capable, ou
candidates are pre-eminently qualified t.
carry out the measures of the Democrats
party under the New Constitution, whicl
they have assisted in making, and SO abl.
supported before the people.
On motion, the thanks of the Convention
were rendered to its officers for the efficien
manner in which they had discharged thei
duties.
The convention then adjourned, giving
three hearty cheers for the ticket.
