The true Democrat., 1856-05-06

0EF The Binghampton Democrat says of the late glorious triumph of the national democracy of Chicago:
 'The late charter election in Chicago, for an
 actual transaction,' is altogether one of the best political jokes of the season. The anti Nebraskaites and opponents of the democracy of all sorts; all the isms, from woolly "repub- licanism' to underground Know Nothingism Cor from one to the other, which ever should come frst;) all the shades of sectionalism. from full-blooded Congo to milk-and -molasses mu- latto color; honest long John Wentworth. with his miscaled Democrat heading the ring streaked and speckled,' all united on candidate for mayor, and made up the issue expressly on Nebraska, Kansas and Douglas They magni- fled the result in all possible ways against them selves-'a vote for Dyer (the democratic can dldateD was declared to be a vote for Douglas for President, to elect Dyer was to endorse the Kansas blll;' to vote for Dyer was to put a whip in Douglas hand to lord it over the free men oi the North, etc., etc.; and after damning themselves and their cause in advance, up and down, through and through, incase of their defeat, leaving not loophole to escape from thelr self-anneunced degradation; and magnify ing their opponents into the most consequential of conquerors in case of their success, they went into the contest and were mserably beaten.- Chicago anti-N ebraskasm must be enjoying a high degree of self-respect about these days.n

G. Hills appointed secretary.
 On motion of N. B. Rowland, the chair ap- pointed committee of five, to draft resolu- tions expressive of the sentiments of the con- vention, who after short absence, reported the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted:
 WHEREAS, The sacred legacies of our fore fathers, the Declaration of Independence and the constitution of our happy country, have guarantied to us the inestmable blessings of civil and religious liberty, and whereas, a secret oath boand political association, commonly known as the Know Nothng' party has lately arisen-the avowed principles of which, if carried out. would tend to the entire subver- tion of these guaranted rights, therefore be it | Reso1Ued, That we as democrats of the school of Jefferson and Jackson, as freemen and lovers of the constitution, do enter our solemn protest against such unwholesome and nefarious doc trnes, as set forth ill the platform of the so- called American party.
 | That as such democrats, we can never look upon the religious test attempted to be es- tablished, in no other light than a stab at the most vital and living principles of the consti- tuition of United States, and in direct opposition to the cherished and time-honored principles of the national democratic party.
 That the altering or amending of the natu- ralizaton laws, being mere matter of expe- diency, and the right to act in the premises, being reposed in Congress by the constitution, we can see no need of secret, oath bound po- litical society to effect a change therein, and we view the desire to proong the probation Of for eigners to any unreasonable length, or any at tempt at total repeal of said naturaliza- ton laws as in direct opposition to the spirit of the constitution, and consequently as unwise, |inexpedient and unjust
 That the past history of other countries teach us, to hold any secret political society, as in direct conflict with the institutions of any land in which, as in this the widest latitude of speech and action should, and must be looked upon as essential and sacred.
 That we can never hold any political alliance with men or measures ofsuch society, but stand ing upon the broad platform of principles of our party. which we as southerners and demo- crats regard as sufficiently strong and ample, we feel bound and willing to enclrcle the con- lstltuton of our country, and battle as ot yore, for our rights and principles.
 That we view all that entered the Know Nothing party and from motives of sincerity have published their disconnection with it, and are now acting in good faith with the demo. cratic party, entitled to all the privileges and immunites of the same.
