The Cincinnati PistSorm.
The telegraph gives us the report Of the Com
mittee on Resolutions at Cincinnati.
The nrst part Of the report embraces the gen
essl principles Of the last Convention, and reairms
the Baltimore Platform Of 1862. 1t then proceeds
- follows: M
And whereas, since the foregoing declaration
Was numerously ADOPTED by our ,predecessors In
National Conversions, an adverse political and re-
lgous test has been secretly organized by party
claiming to be exclusively Americans, and it Is
proper that the American Democracy should
clearly define its relations thereto: Therefore
RESOLVED, That the foundation of this Union OF
States having been laid in its prosperity, expan-
sion, and preeminent example in free government
built upon entire freedom in matters Of religious
concern, and no respect Of persons in regard to
rank or place of birth, no party can justly be
deemed national, CONSTITUTIONAL or In accordance
with American principles which bases It's exclusive
organization upon religious opinions and accidental
birthplace. 4 1850 I ffN
That we rsitersts with renewed energy Of pur-
pose the well-considered declarations Of former
Conventions upon the sectional issue Of domestic
slavery, and concerning the reserved rights Of the
States, and that we may more distinctly meet the
issue on which sectional party, subsisting excu-
svely on slavery agitation now relies TO test the
fidelity of the people, North and South, to the Con-
stitution and the Union. S..s =, 8,est
Rssoiped, That, claiming friendship with, and
desiring the cooperation Of, all who regard the
preservation of the Union, under the Constitution
as the paramount issue, and repudiatng all Sec
tonal parties and platforms concerning domestic
slavery, which seek to embroil the States and in
cite to treason and armed resistance to law in the
Territories and whose avowed purposes, il con-
summated must end in civil war and disunion, the
American Democracy recognise and adopt the
principles contained in the organic laws establish
ing the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska as inn
| bodying the only sound and safe solution of the
| slavery question upon which the great national
idea of the people of this whole country repose
| in its determined conservatism of the Union nom
| interference by Congress with slavery in States
and Territories; that this the basi Of the Com
promises of 1850, confirmed by both the Demo-
cratic and Wing parties in National Conventions,
ratified by the people in the election Of 1852, and
rightly applied to the organization Of Territories
| in 1854; that by the uniform application of this
Democratic principle to the organization of Terrific
ries and the admission of new States with or with
out domestic slavery, as they may elect the equal
rights of all the States will be preserved intact the
original compacts Of the Constitution maintained
inviolate, and the perpetuation and expansion Of
this Union insured to its utmost capacity of EN-.
| bracing in peace and harmony, every future
Il
nexed with republican form of government
| RESOLVED, That we recognise the right of the
people of all the Territories, including Kansas and
Nebraska, acting through the fairly expressed will
Of the majority Of actual residents, and whenever
the number Of their inhabitants justes it, to form
q constitution, with or without domestic slavery,
and be admitted into the Union upon terms Of
perfect equality with the other States
Resolved, That, in view Of the condition of the
| popular institutions Of the Old World, and the
dangerous tendencies of sectional agitation, COM
bined with the attempt to enforce civil and reli-
gious disabilities against the rights Of acquiring
| citizenship in our own land, a high and sacred
duty has devolved an increased responsibility upon
the Demo cratic party of this country as the party
of the Union, to uphold and maintain the rights Of
every State, and thereby to sustain and advance
among us constitutional liberty, by continuing to
resist all monopoies and exclusive legislation for
the benefit of the few at the expense Of the many,
| and by yigant adherence to those principles and
the compromises of the Constitution which are
broad and strong enough to embrace and uphold
| the Union as it was, the Union as it is and the
Union as it shall be in the full expansion of the
energies and capacity Of this great progressive
people.
| Resolved, That the questions connected with
the foreign policy of the country inferior to no
| domestic questions whatever that the time has
come when the people of the United States should
declare themselves in favor of free seas, of pro-
gressive free trade throughout the world, and by
solemn manifestations place their moral influence
| by the side Of their successful example.
Resolved, That our geographical and political
position with reference to other States of this con-
tinent no less than the interest of our commerce
and the development Of our growing power, re-
quires that we hold sacred the principles involved
| in the Monroe doctrine that their bearing and
| import should admit of no misconstruction, and
should be applied with unbending rgidity.
RESOLVED, That great highway of nature, as
well as the assent of those States most Immediate
ly interested in it's maintenance, has been marked
out for free communication between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, and constitutes one of the
most important achievements realized by the spirit
| of modern times and the unconquerable energy of
our people; that this result should be secured by
the timely and efficient control which we have a
right to claim over it; that no power on earth
should be suffered to impede or clog it's progress
nor should we allow any interference with the
relations which 1t may suit our policy to establish
| with the government of States within whose do
minion it lies that we can, under no circumstan-
ces, surrender our preponderance in the adjust
ment of all questions arising out of it.
Resolved That, in view of so commanding an
| interest," the people of the United States cannot
but sympathize with the efforts which are being
made by the people of Central America to regene-
rate that portion of the continent which covers the
passage across the oceanic isthmus.
| Resoloed, That the Democratic party will expect
Of the next administration that every proper effort
viii be made to insure our ascendency in the Gulf
| of Mexico; to maintain permanent protection of
the great outlets through which are emptied into
its waters the products raised upon the soil, and
the commodities created by the industry Of the
people Of our Western valleys and the Union at
large. .Ma
