Excellent Resolutions.

The following resolutions were adopted al
the late Convention of the Democracy of New
Hampshire. They are candid and TO the
point, and are such as the Democracy Of the
wholecountry can heartily endorse.'
Resolved, That while the shifting organi-
cations of our opponents have neither per
umleney ef name nor consistency of- dQcp<i1ts
Democratic party that its great and guiding
principles are immutable, its purposes fixed,
and lbs name time-honored and Auachshging
/ "Resoived, That we hold to strict con-
struction of the constitution, abstinence from
the exercise of undelegated or doubtful pow
ers, an economical administration Of the State
and Federal Governments, and scrupulous
observance of the reserved rights of States
and of individuals.
"ResolUed, That democracy has no secrecy
and requires no oath; that while it publicly
avows, as a fundamental principle, freedom
of conscience, without distinction of relig-
ious faith, the political equality of all whom
the law recognizes as American citizens, with
out reference to the accident of birth, it re-
lies for success upon open discussion and the
intelligence of the people; we, therefore, de-
nounce the Know Nothing organization, so
called, as intolerant in its warfare upon the
freedom of religious belief and the sacred
rights of conscience, unjustly exclusive in its
requirements of birth and blood and anti
republican and dangerous in its methods of
secret political action, as corrupting in its en-
couragement OF secret combination and false
hood, reprehensble in its objects, and I'M
manly and dishonorable in the modes by
which it seeks their accomplishment
"Resolued, That we believe in the cardinal
doctrines of State rights and popular sover-
ignty; that we recognize in the broadcast
sense, as just and salutary, the principle that
to the people of every organized State and
Territory belongs of right the prerogative of
regulating for themselves their own domestic
and local affairs within the limits of the con-
stitution; and that we denounce all violations
of this principle, whether by the interference
of the abolitonists of the free States or by
the aggressions of their abetors in the work
of sectional agitation from the slave States.
"Resolvei, That the constitution of the U.
States is founded upon the fundamental prin.
ciple of entire and absolute equality among
all the States of this Union; and it is not
competent for Congress, or any other power
to impose upon new States coming into the
Union any condition or restriction in respect
/ to their domestic institutions of internal con
Germs, which the federal constitution has moi
imposed upon the original States; and thai
any effort on the part of Congress, or any
other power, to violate the principle, should
be met and resisted by all good citizens as al
attempt to trample upon tho constitution ant
destroy the Union"

thorough repair, and ready for use at any mo-
ment. The increased demand for American

cause for commencing operations in these
