The following Resolutions were passed by the
Hards or Hunkers
&c ResoJ0ed, That the platform of principles estab-
ished by the Democratic National Convention at
Baltimore in 1862, continues to receive our hearty
concurrence and appreciation a whole, and IN all
its parts and hereby declare our adherence there's
to- and reliance thereupon, containing, in letter
and in spirit, the true principles of Democracy.
Res0LUed, That we most cordially concur in and
embrace, and congratulate the Democracy of the
Union upon the elevated doctrines promulgated by
President Pierce in his Inaugural Address That we
refer to the sentiments thus avowed with just PRIDE
believing them such should control the National
Government in its foreign and domestic policy, and
such will maintain the interest and honor of our
country untarnished before the nations of the earth
ResoLUed, That coincide with the President in
his opinion that it is not to be disguised that our
attitude a nation and position the globe renders
the acquisition of certain possessions, not within
jurisdiction eminently important for protection
if not in the future, essential for the preservation
of the rights of commerce and peace of the world
and also with the principle, which we regard as fun
damental, that the rights, security and repose of
this Confederacy reject the idea Of interference or
colonization on this side of the by any foreign
power, beyond its present jurisdiction utterly in
admissible
ResOZ0ed, That the Democracy of the State of New
York reafirm the doctrine of the Presidents Inau-
gural that invountary servtude as it exists in diff
ferent States of this Confederacy is recognized by
the Constitutions that it stands like any other ad-
mtted right and that the States where it exists are
entitled to efficient remedies to enforce the Consttu
tional provisions" That the law of 1850 Common
ly called the Compromise Measures is strictly con-
stitutional and to be unhesatingly carried into eff
feet That the constitutional authorities of this Re
public bound to regard the rights of the South
in this respect they would view any other legal
and constitutional rights-and that the laws to en-
force them should be respected and obeyed not with
propriety IN different state of society," but cheer
fully and accordingly to the decisions of the tribunal
to which the execution belongs, and that the Demo
cratic party of this State stands pledged it
depends upon the political and personal action of its
members that every law adopted by the constituted
authorities of the United States including the fugi-
tive slave law shall be faithfully enforced within the
limits of this State.
ResOlOed, That congratulate our fellow Demo
Gratis throughout the State upon the adoption by the
present Legislature, of the Amendments to the Con-
stitution, designed to provide for the enlargement
and completion of the Canals in accordance with the
pledges given by the Democratic party to the people
Of the State-a result mainly due to the unyieding
efforts of the Democratic Senators, foremost among
whom was the Hon. James E. Cooley candidate
for Comptroller, upon whose the people will
stamp their approbation-and which gives hope of
the speedy completion of that system of public
works, of which State has just to be proud
and we pledge ourselves to perseVere In the good
work until it shall be placed beyond all contingency
not only by constitutional amendments, but by the
actual construction of the several works therein pro-
Vided for.
ResOEced, That while we earnestly desire the cor
Hal and permanent union of the Democratic party,
We are admonished as well by dearly bought
experience that union either be successful or
olerabe, but such as is founded on concurrence in
eading principles. That all attempts to establish
maintain union between those of conflicting senti-
nents, by whatever name it may be dignified, is at
pest coalition hostile to harmonious action demon
zng in all its tendencies destructive of the inter
sts of the Democratic party and inevitably tending
% defeat disruption and disgrace.
ReSotced, That this Convention reafirm the follow
ng resolutions, adopted by the New Hampshire De-
nocratic State Convention of June 9, 1853:
ResoIced, That in the judgment of this Conven-
ion the platform adopted by the late Baltimore Con-
7ention cannot be regarded compromise of prin-
lples, nor as amnesty of factions that have for
7ears been arrayed against the Democratic party and
he Union except upon the condition of unqualified
recognition of adhesion to its principles, and un-
doubted assurance of future fidelity and devotion to
he Democratic cause.
Resolred That with regard to former divisions we
ender the right hand of fellowship to all, who sin
erely concur with in the foregoing sentiments
We cordially invite them to unite with in ralyng
nd uniting upon these principles the Democratic
nasses and in lending at all times and upon all oc-
aslons their countenance, encouragement and sup
,ort
Resoloed. That this Convention recognizes in the
everal candidates nominated by it. true and faithful
opponents of the principles of the Democratic party
herein set forth, and that pledge ourselves to
he hearty and energetic support of the ticket at the
olls''
The Hards also passed Resolution highly compli-
nentary to Mr. Dickinson. Speakers in the Hard
Convention were somewhat severe in their denunci-
tons of members of the Cabinet, and of appoint
nents in New York, but nothing pontedly unkind /
Fas said of President Pierce. II

offs or Barnburners:
