Eaton Democrat. [volume] (Eaton, Ohio) 1843-1856, 1856-01-17

their owe constitution or form OF go, eminent;
TO choose and regulate their own domestic in
sii.utions Of every kind aud 10 l~egiSlate for
themselves, is o fundamental principle ofall
free government; aud that It is the self same
right 10 secure which our ancestors waged the
war Of the Revolution; o right lying at the
very foundation of all our Tree institutions, re-
cognized in the Declaration OF Independence
and established by The constitution Of the Uni
ted States; and we hereby endorse and real
firm this RoD disputed principled.
ResOlUsd, That the Introduction OF moral
and religious questions into the political con-
troversies and issues ofthe day, is a wide de-
parlure from the ancient principles and sound
policy OF the country, at war with the true
interests Of the people, corInpiing alike 10
morals, religion and politics, aud Of o most
pefnicious and dangerous tendency.
Resolued, That Democracy has no secresy
and requires no oa.bs; that while it publicly
avows, ns o fundamental principle, freed ON OF
conscience, without distinction Of religious
faith, the political equality of all whom The
Law recognizes ss American citizens, without
reference to The accident Of birth, il relies for
success upon open discussion and the intel
ligence aud virtue OF the people. We there
fore denounce the Know Nothing organization
so called, as intolerantFin its warfare upon
The freedom OF religious belief and The sacred
rights OF co nscience; ~uniustly exclusive in lis
requ iremenis of birth and blood corrupting,
demoraliz!ng in its cath and concealment, on1
anti republican and dangerous in its secret
combination, and lis secret political action.
ResOlped, That the Democrsey Of Ohio, re-
lying upon The intelligence and patriotism Of
the people, declare and publish these as the
principles for which they viii do battle; and
I, inscribing them upon their banner, thus bold
ly and ~0efantly meet the issues press nted aot1
by the combined hosts OF The enemies Of De-
/ mocracy, and Of the Ulion and the Coustilu-
! ton, ~pleGging themselves that, that banner
shall remain unfurled so long as there is q
/, lConstilution and Union and DemocIatic prin.
4, cipleS 10 support and defend.
Resolred, That we rejoice in The firm, noble
: and patriotic stand OF the Democratic mem
bers Of The Congress Of the United S;atesfi in
the matter OF %elecling q Speaker Of the House,
] Of Representatives, and trust that they will
{ maintain that stand TO the last.
