Resolgsd That while the democracy congratulate them
selves upon the success OF every administration that has
been brought into power by their yos deem this t
occasion 10 express our entire appreciation Of the ptnc
pies that have guided Cen Pierce since his
as President Of the United States and 10 endorse fully the
leading measures Of his administration believing that he
has eyineed In al his acts patriotic heart firm aud
honest will and a staesmanship equal to the requirements
Of ths igh post " which the people unanimously ee-
waited him. ..#. -
Resoiued That the democracy Of Iowa believe 10 strict
and rigorous observance OF every article aud provision Of
the constitution and ia the maintenance of all the laws Of
The land and condemn every attempt evade violate
either that rebeious and reasonable la their
nature and that this convention condemn foreign inter-
ference 10 the affairs Of Kansas and the spirit OF mob yio-
lence and opposition to law everywhere
ResOiced That history proves that the democratic party
Of the United States Is the only NATIONAL party and the
only party capable of successfully administering the fed
eral affairs OF The nation, and striking evidence Of
these facts have only refer TO the present aspect Of
the House OF Representatives., where with majority Of
seventy the opponents Of the democracy haze spent
whole month in fruitess attempt to elect presiding Of
eer and have failed to transact any Of the public business
which was intrusted to their hands.
Resofpsd That we approve OF the Of the serenity
pe democratic members OF the House of Representatives
who have so serny adhered to principle and TO the sup
port Of their nominee and to them say Never give up
the ship
Resoleed That we fully approve Of the course of the
democratic members Of the last legislature in resisting the
election of a fsonist to the United States Senate and
we have doubt but that, investigation of the
facts the Senate will decide that the certificate of election
given to James Harlan by Gov Grimes issued without
warrant of law and contrary to the provision OF the con-
stituton. .."".
