The report of the committee was adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Applegate, Daniel Cribbs
was chosen Vice President
Messrs. Applegate, Mitchell and Lynch,
were appointed a committee to draft resOlu-
tiOns expressive of the sense of the Conven-
| tion.
The Committee reported the following,
which were unanimously adopted:
| Whereas, the preservation of our Republi-
can institutions depends upon the promulga-
ton and advancement of Democratic princi-
ples as handed down to us from the Fathers
OF the country. and whereas it is the earnest de-
sire of the Democracy to sustain those princi-
Piles around which we have so often rallied,
therefore
Be it Resolved, That the Democratic party
have ever been bold and energetic in the ad-
vOcacy of its political doctrines, and fearless
and determined in denouncing the hereses of
| its political adversaries. and that no crisis has
ever occurred in the history Of our country
when we could with such pride and implicit
confidence proclaim to the world our detesta-
ton of all secret political associations. and
our entire adherence to the old landmarks of
the party.
| Resolued, That the Importance of the ap-
preaching election, and the wiles and artifces
of the Know. Nothings render it the impera-
tive duty of every true democrat to inculcatc
and disseminate spirit of zeal and deter
mined interest SO that in the coming contest
the warfare shall be alone between the Demo-
cratic party and those secret political organi-
cations, whose proscriptve doctrines tend di-
rectly to the destruction of our glorious Union.
Resoived, That the endearing principles of
civil liberty embodied in the Declaration of
Independence by the immortal Jefferson, and
sanctioned by the constitution of the United
States which renders ours the land of liberty
and all asylum for the oppressed OF all nations.
| have ever been cherished as cardinal doctrines
in the Democratic faith; and every attempt to
abridge the rights guaranteed by these sacred
instruments ought. and will be resisted with
the same spirit that swept from our statute
books the Alien and Sedtion laws.
Res0lved, That we invite all Democrats
who may for time have entered the Know
Nothing organization, to return to their for
m faith and prime Piles, and abandon an in
sttution which is dlametrcally opposed to
sound democracy and the true principles OF
our government, and confined to narrow
prejudice unworthy the freemen of liberal
republic like ours.
