tuition, cannot with fidelity thereto be repeal

efficacy.
RESOLVED, That the Democratic party will
resist all attempts at renewing, in Congress
or out of it, the agitation on the slavery ques-
ton, under whatever shape or color the at
tempt may be made.
Resolved, That the proceeds of the public
lands ought to be sacredly applied to the ma
tional objects specified in the constitution;
and that we are opposed to any law for the
distribution of such proceeds among the
States, alike inexpedient in policy and re-
pugnant to the constitution.
Resolved, That we are decidedly opposed to
taking from the President the qualified veto
power, by which he is enabled, under restric-
tons and responsibilities amply sufficient to
guard the public interest, to suspend the pass
age of bill whose merits cannot secure the
approval of two-thirds of the Senate and
House of Representatives, until the judge
ment of the people can be obtained thereon,
and which has saved the American people
from the corrupt and tyrannical domination of
the Bank of the United States, and from a
corrupting system of general internal i'm
proyements.
Resolved, That the Democratic party will
faithfully abide by and uphold the principles
laid down in the kentucky and Virginia reso-
! lutions of 1898, and in the report of Mr..
Madison to the Virginia Legislature in 1899;
that it adopts those principles as constituting
one of the main foundations of its political
creed, and is resolved to carry them out in
their obvious meaning and import.

account. md that truth nigh at last emerge from
amidst the thousand shades Of error. The full.
