PREAMBLE AND RESOLU-
TIONS.
Whereas, The Democratic State Con
vcntion, of the Sth of January last, and
the recent Convention in Columbus have
failed to avow or recognize principles
which We believe vital TO the welfare Of
the Republic, aud our State; There
fore:
ReSolved That we continue to main
as paramount i'll Importance, and new
er to be ignored, the we'll known prirci-
pies Of the American party, among
which is devotion to the Union and Ill
c~easing hostility. to its enemies, be they
the nulliGers of The South or the Aboli-
t~ionists of the North.

.wapton violation of a sacred aud time
honored compact, and are not from re
sentiment or any other impulse to be
seduced or driven into the support OF
fanatical men or measures.
Re Oiced, That we recognize in the
first resolution of the Convention of the
18th inst, a subtle and insidious aim at
the integrity of the National Govern
ment, and the initiative of legislation
which will place the State Of Ohio in
antagenism to the Union.
ReSOLped, That the avowal made in
a resolution of the 18th inst, to labor
assjafously, rot to secure the repeal of
Tic Nebraska and Kansas bill, but to
fender it void and imperative, prQclains
a mode of opposition 90 the l9Bs'of the
land that can be sanctioned only by ia.
natics and outlaws.

and resolutions of the Convention Of the
18th inst, and especially in the nomina.
