z. That the separation of the moneys of the
Government from banking institutions, is inds-

eminent and the rights of the people.
g. That the liberal principles embodied by
Jefferson in the declaration of Independence, and
sanctioned IN the Constitution, which makes ours
the land OF liberty, and the asylum of the op-

principles in the democratic faith and every at
tempt to abridge the privilege of becoming cit-
zens and the owners Of soil among US, ought
to be resisted with the same spirit which swept
the Alien and Sedition laws from our statute
book
\ 9. That Congress has no power under the
Constitution TO interfere with or control the do
mestc institutions of the several States, and that
such States are the sole and proper judges of ev-
erythlng apperalning to their own affairs, not
prohibited by the Constitution; that all efforts
OF the Abolitionists or others, made to induce
Congress to interfere with questions of Slavery,
or to take incipent steps in relation thereto are
calculated to lead to the most alarming and dan
gerous consequences and that all such efforts
have an inevitable tendency to diminish the hap
pness of the people, and endanger the stability
and permanency of the Union, and ought not to
be countenanced by any friend of our political
institutions.

service or labor included: which act, being de-
signed to carry out an express provision of the

pealed, nor so changed to destroy or impair its
efficiency.
:, Resolred, That the Democratic party will re-
sist all attempts at renewing in Congress, or out
of it, the agitation of the Slavery question, I'M
der whatever shape or color the attempt may be
made.
"These two last resolves are new (the fore
going being the planks of former Baltimore

Slave Power is making toward unlimited domin-

: Res0lred, That the Democratic party will faith
fully abide by and uphold the principles laid

Of 1892 and 1898, and in the report of Mr. Mad

ReSoLred That the war with Mexico, upon all
the principles of patriotism and the laws of ma
f tons, was a just and necessary war on our part
in which no American citizen should have shown
himself opposed to his country, and neither NOR
ally nor physicallyy~hy word or deed, given aid
and comfort to the enemy.
ReSoIrea, That we rejoice at tho restoration
Of friendly relations with our sister Republic of
Mexico, and earnestly desire for her all the bles-

publican institutions, and we congratulate the
| American people on the result fthat war, which
have so manifestly justified the policy and con-

United States idemniiy for the past and security
for the future.
\ Resolrcd, That in view of the condition of
popular institutions in the world, high and sa-
cred duty is devolvcd with increased responsible
ity upon the democracy of this country, as the
party of the people, to uphold and maintain the
rights of every State and thereby the Union Of
the States, and to sustain and advance among
them constitutional liberty, by continuing to re-
sist all monopolies and exclusive Legislation for
the benefit Of the few at the expense of the ma
nv and by a ygIant and constant adherence to
these principles and compromise Of the Constitu-
ton, which are broad enough and strong enough
to embrace and uphold the Union as it is, and the
! Union as it should be, in the full expansion of
the energies and capacity of this great and pro-
grossive people.
The following item from a Massachusetts, pa

ROBERT RANTOUL. JR., the properly
elected representative OF an Overwhelming ma
jority of the Democracy of the Second District
of Massachusetts, and with whose opinions on
all important public questions. almost the entire
! Democracy of this State agree, has been DENIED
seat in the National Democratic Convention,
and Mr. Lord Of Salem, has been ADMITTED =
The vote on the question of admitting Mr.. Lord
stood, yeas 1874, nays 50. Thus it will be seen
that more than t,co-thrdS Of the Convention vo-
ted to reject Mr.. Rautoul.
| The Democracy of Massachusetts, as we'll as
of the Second District have reason to feel insult
ed at the course pursued by the majority of the
National Convention towards one of their abest
champions. We trust Mr.. Rantoul will be full
ly upheld by the Democratic party of his District,
(as he will undoubtedly be by the peope,) for
his manly opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law.
For his course in relation to that infamous Stat

the National Convention, which has now man
aged to get down, at one tremendous gulp, the
entire pile of sickening filth, which Mr.. Rantoul
