DIS Morn The Democratic Conven
tion at Burlington on the 22nd, nominsted W
+. Coolbaush for state Senator, and passed tn.
following sensible resolutions.
That the right Of The peop'e 9, as well of the
Territories as OF the states, to make such con
stitutional laws, as they please for their own
Nebraska and Kansas bill, is principle a.
old and as sacred as democracy itsslf-and
| that Though we do not consider the APPROX
al OF the repeal Of the Compromise Of lc2O as
test OF democracy--yet We do protest that
there is nothing therein to justify those who
disaPprove oft, 10 deserving their party.
That as party, We neither recommend, nor
oppose the calling OF Convention to a
lnend our State tonslitulion-but are in favor
OF referring that question by law, to a direct
vote vi the people.
