they led of snarly for democracy" Of the
Slavocratic stripe; this year they give another
pull at the aame drag-rope endorsing the roso-
lutions Of the " National Democratic Conycn-
tons of 1870, "A and l5n mot the Buffalo
platform" mind you,) and repudatng the free
soil democracy. We notice that the names o

we believe, acted with the Coalitonists last year
We quote the resolutions from the record
The following resolutions we're reported, which

Resolved, That we heartily subscribe TO the
uOCulnt OF HOuldS JtHcFsun, sanctioned pN
Geo Washington in l19l,-" that every people
may establish what form OF government they
please. and change 1t as they please; the viii of
the nation beng the only thing essential and
upon this principle we consider the late nierIer-
ence Of RUSSIA with the aflilrs of hungary. not
only as q base lnlfacton of the laws o6 nations
but vile and wicked Infringement of the
natural rights Of man, and such demands a
prompt and decided rcbuke from every free gov

The following resolution presented by DR. Ira
Davis, WIS, after discussion, passed:
Resolved, That as we did IN lo4i, 50 we Do
now, most decidedly protest against the act Of
the State convention, IN appointing delegates foi
the Congressional Districts, to attend the Ma
tiohal Convention.
The following resolution was presented by +.
M. Brown:
Resolved, IN the language Of Hon Charles
II. Peaslec, OF New Hampshire that the Dem
ocratic party never was, and never can be. a SEC
tlonal party, and not become extinct. There can
be no democracy of the North nor Of the South,
of the East nor of the Vest IN contradstinction
TO the democracy of the UNION. 1t is the boast
aud pride Of our party, that having its origin in
the assertion OF State rights, and a strict con
struction OF the constitution, It IS still IN an in
tense and even Characteristic degree, national
and unite in spirit and politics that II has con-
trbuted in a thousand ways 10 benefit erfrg part
of our union; and that It follows the flag OF our
country wherever It waves IN defence ofany por-
ton Of the country's rights, if any, even the
smallest lniracuon, of them IS attempted ANY
political factions, then, formed upon sectional or
geographical grounds, unknown to the creed or
nsages OF our party, necessarily seperate them
selves from It, and become RENEGApFs. They
20 out from the universal brotherhood known as
democratic republicans, and assume au attitude
of hostility 70 their principles and organization ;
aud not being with, nor supporting, nor of our
party, they are, according TO inspired teaching,
AGAINST IT.
After several motions 10 amend, and consid-
cradle discussion by Messrs. Plmpton, Davis,
Barney, Thomas and others on motion of DR..
Davis, voted to strike out all after the word at
tempted and the resolution VAS adopted.
The following presented by L. al. Brown,
unanimously ADOPTED:
Resolved, That IN the death of Horace CLARK,
Esq, member OF the National democrats com
InIt,ee, and delegate elect TO the next National
Democratic Convention, we realize the loss Of a
most valuable citizen and consisten, democrat
and respectfully tender onr sympathies To the rel
atiyes OF the deceased.
