chosen delegates 10 the national Convention,
to be held at Cincinnati, June I'd, with author

mirable resolutions, which were passed unanl-

every true democrat We copy entire =
Resoi,ed. That this Convention recognize,
indorse and affirm The Resolutions adopted by
the Democratic National Convention al Balt-
more in 1859, as the platform of the Demo-
cratic party.
Resolced, That the Democratic platform is
sufficiently broad and liberal to embrace all the
interests, and project all the rights of the Ma
tional and State Governments. and Of the peo-
pie of all parts OF our common country.
ReS0tred, That the permanent prosperity
and happiness of the American people require,
in the language of Washington, that we ''should
cherish a cordial habitual and immoveable al
tachment TO our National Union; accustoming
ourselves to think and speak OF it as the palla-
dunn of our political safety and prosperity
watching for its preservation with jealous
anxiety discountenancing whatever may sug-
gest even suspicion that il can, in any event,
be abandoned /; and Indignantly frowning upon
the first dawning of every attempt to ALLEVIATE
any portion of our country from the rest, or TO
enteeble the sacred ties which now link TO-
gether the various parts.'
ReSolred, That the confidence manifested by
the people of the United States in the capaci-
ty integrity, and sound principles OF franklin
Pierce in his election to the Presidency has
been amply justified by the ability, firmness,
purity and patriotism which have marked his
conduct of public affairs.
ReS0ired, That the present National admin
istration, by the infusion of order, system,
promptness, efficiency and rigid accountability,
into every department of government; by
steadfast adherence 10 constitutional obliga-
tions and democratic principles by an honest
and economical management of the public fl
nances, which has guarded the treasury
against the assaults of speculaiors and pecu-
lators by frank, manly, and judiclous for
eign policy, truly American in It's spirit,
which has opened new avenues TO commercial
enterprise; extended and secured our fishing
rights, protected our citizens from the arbitra-
ry acts of tyrannica foreign governments, as
serted the rights OF our flag in every sea, and
maintained, by unanswerable arguments, the
rghtfuness of our positions upon the ques-
tions of difference between this nation and the
greatest naval power of the world, are entitled
TO the cordial and united support of the Demo-
cratic party.
Resolred, That Knownothingism and Black
Republicanism. in the abstract, and as exhib-
tied in the conduct of their followers, are
wholly alien TO our principlns and feelings;
and holding, as we do, 10 the guarantees of the
Constitution of the United States, expressed
and implied, as TO the rights of religious opin-
ions and worship, to the equality of The differ
ent sections of the country, and to the privi-
lege of the full enjoyment of all the rights of
citizenship by every citizen, and TO the ines
Unable value of the Union, we deem these
isms and all others of kindred character, un-
just, dangerous and disorganzing.
Resolred, that whatever may be our feelings
and preferences as to the Presidential cand-
dates, holding our principles and the interests
of our country above all these, we pledge our
selves TO a cheerful and Jealous support of the
nominee Of the Cincinnati convention.
