.'Ehe election Of all officers by the peo-
Tple.
THE limitation Of State Indebtedness,
and provision for the payment OF the debt

"Equal taxation; compelling the proper
ty Of the rich, invested in stocks, to bear a
proportion of the public burthen, by con-
trbuting to the taxes of the State.
'fhe restraint efsthe Legislative power,
confinlng it to the legitimate subjects OF gen
eral Legislation; and tue crownlng glory OF
repeal, which secaeres the people, sovereign
always, from ever becoming slaves to any
law or charter passed by their servants.

further
Resolaea, That the democracy of Ohio,
do at the same time fully recognize the doc
tr ne held by the early fathers of the Re.
public. and still maintained by the Demo.
craft. party in all the States, that to each
State belongs the right to adopt and modify
its own municipal laws, to regulate its own
internal affairs. to hold and maintain an
equal and independent sovereignty with
| each and every State, and that upon these
RIGHTS the National Legislature can neither
Se9islate nor encroach. ..
Resolyed, that no enlightened political coon
om7 demands more liberal system. of dis
posing of the public lands, and that the
PROSPERITY of the country, as well as Of in
dividuals, would be emnently promoted by
the passags of a law placing the national
domain, in limited quantities, within the
reach Of actual settlers, at a price to cover
the csst of surveying, and other necessary
expenses.
Resolved. That the Democracy pf Ohio
still adhere to the well known and long
established doctrines of the party in rela.
ton to the Tariff aud Currency.
RESOLVED. Thai we recognize the soyer.
eipn and inalienable right of every nation to
establish and maintain such form of govern
ment, as may accord with the views Of its
own people, and that any interference there.
with on the part of other nations, is clearly
an infringement of international, law and
natural uttire.
