The true Democrat., 1855-07-03
Resolutions of the Democratic Louisiana State Convention.

H. The following resolutions, adopted by the convention, we copy from the Baton Rogue Ad ] vocate of the 18th:
 That the State of Louisiana, in the judgment of this convention, will and ought to resist even Gas a last resort) to disruption of every tie which binds her to the Union, any action of Congress upon hesubject of slavery in the dis trct of Columbia, or in places subject to the iu- risdiction of Congress incompatible with the safety, domestic tranquility, the rights and ho- nor of the slave-holding States, or any act SUD- pressing the slave trade between the slave holding States, or any refusal to admit as State any territory hereafter applying because of the existence of slavery therein; or any act pro- hibiting the introduction of slaves into the ter. rltores of Utah and New Mexico; or any act repeating or materially modifying the laws in force for the recovery of fugitive slaves.
 ResolOed, Thatwe approve and endorse the action of our last Congress in the Nebraska Kansas act, and the principles therein establish ed; and in conformity with these principles, the people of Kansas have the right, when the number of that population justi6es it, to form a republican State constitution, with or with out slavery, as they may determine, and be
 
 ing with the other States and that her rejec- ton by Congress, on account of slavery, would be a just cause for the disruption of all the ties that bind the State of Louisaua to the Onion.
 Res0lved, That in accordance with the above resolutions, whilst we are willing to act in par ty association with all sound and reliable men in every section of the Union, we are not will ling to affiliate with any party that shall not recognize, approve, and carry out the princi- pies and provisions of the Nebraska Kansas act, and that the democratic party of Lou isiana will cut off all connection with every man and party at the north or elsewhere, that does not come up fully and fairly to this line of action.
 Resozved, That the national democracy of the north. who have periodically fought for the Kansas and Nebraska acts and the maintenance of the fugitive slave law, against the combin- ed forces of know nottingham and abolitionism, who seek their repeal, and who stand pledged to support the admission of Kansas into the Union as a slave State, should she ask it, merit the heartfelt sympathies, thanks and en- couragement of southern men in this patriotic position.
 Resolyed, That in the national democratic..par- tv of the north alone have been found those patriotic men who have thus stood by the rights of the south, and judging the future by the past, that party is the only organization at the north that now exists or can be formed with which the south can consistently co-ope- rate.
 ReS0lted That we sympathlZe with the friends Of the slavery cause in Kansas, in their manly efforts to maintain their rights, and the rights and interest of the southern people, and that We rejoice at their recent victories over the paid adventures and Jesuitical hordes of north ern abolitionisIn. That the deep interest felt and taken by the people of Missouri in the settlement ot Kansas and the decision of the slavery question in 1t, is both natural and pro- per, and that 1t Is their right and duty to ex- tend to then southern brethren in that territory every legitimate and honorable sympathy and support.
 Resotrel, That we are promising.y op- posed to the political organization commonly called the know nothing order, or American party, having no sympathy with their secresy, their oaths their unconstitutional designs, their religious intolerance, their political proscrip- ton, and their abolition associations at the north
 ResolOed, That we hail with delight the late signal triumph in Virginia of the democratic party, and the patriotic whigs, who co-operated n achieving that result over the know nothing organization, as conclusive evidence, that in the great practical questions involved in that contest, southern men may honorably and suc- cesSlvely combine, without regard to past poll. tlcal distinctions to save the constitution from dissertation, and the south from being prostrat- ed before the powers of northern tanaticisn and mlsrule.
 ReSolUed, That political necessity and the endorsements constantly arising from our commercial relations with Spain, alike die tate the necessity of the annexation of Cuba to this country at the earliest period compati. be with our national honor and treaty obliga- tions.
 Reso7ved, That the democratic and national principles declared and set forth in the naugu- raj address, and annual address of President Pierce, meet our cordial approval, and that he IS entitled to the thanks of the country for his enforcement of these principles in the signature and approval of the Nebraska Kansas bill, his faithful execution of the fugitive slave law, his various vetoes and other measures of ad- ministrative policy, in conformity to those prn- ciples.
