/ ResOlre3, That rs the Democratic party has il
all its periods Of trials been faithful to is high
mission, Of guarding and preserving the Union 0
the States we have full confidence in its ability b
check all illegal exercises Of authority, and even
unwarrantable construction Of the Constitution
and that in adhering 10 their time honored tenent
is the only safety Of the government. Therefor
the Democratic party of Vermont is pledged to th
principles and organization Of the National DS
mocraey.
! Resoired-That We cordially approve Of the a,
tion Of the Democratic State Convention in nom
mating Clark, Colby and Page, and that we wi
give the nominations Of that convention, our hear
| " and unqualified support
Resofrei-in the hnguage OF uie l,re4uf,jlv q
the constitution Of Vermont 'sThat all men hav
natural and inalienable right to worship Al
MIGHTY Con according TO the dictates Of their oW
consciences and understandings, as in their opnio
shall be regulated by the word Of God; and tina
no man ought TO, or Of right can, be compelled L
attend any religious worship, or maintain any min
stry, contrary to the dictates Of his conscience no
can any man be justly deprived or abridged Of AM
civil right as citizen on account Of his religion
sentiments or peculiar mode Of religious worship
and that no authority can or ought to be vested in
or assumed by any power whatever that shall in
any case interfere with or in any manner eontr0
the rights Of conscience in the free exercise Of re-
lgous worship" And the party called know
nothngs by their oath-bound secrecy, their repag-
nant and denationalIing principles, show them
selves hostile to every principle Of Republication
and totally unworthy the confidence Of good eiti-
Eens.
Now that religious liberation and equality o.
Citizenship, the predominant principles Of fres
Government, are sought TO be repudiated by th'
so-caled know nothing party-while we approv'
Of the principles of the Democratic party, at The
