And WHEREAS. Since the foregoing dec.
laration was uniformly adopted by our
predecessors in National Conventions. an
adverse political and religious test has been
secretly organized by party claiming to
be exclusively American, it is proper that
the American Democracy should clearly
define its relations thereto, and declare its
determined opposition TO all secret political
societies. BY whatever name they may be
called.
Resolved, That the foundation OF this
union Of States having been laid in, and its
prosperity. expansion. and pre-eminent ex-
ample in free Government built upon en-
tire freedom in matters Of religious con-
cernment, and no respect Of person in re-
gard to rank or place Of birth: no party
can Justly be deemed national, constitution
al, or in accordance with American princi-
pies, which bases its exclusive erganiza-
ton upon religious opinion and accidental
birthplace. And hence political crusade
IN the nineteeath century. and in the United
States OF America. against Catholic and
ioreign-born, is neither justified by the past
history or the future prospects Of the coun-
try, nor 10 unison with the spir, of tolera-
ION and enlarged freedom which peculiarly
distinguishes the American system Of popu.

2. Resolved, That our geographical and
political position with reference to other
States Of this continent, no less than the in
terest OF our commerce and the develop.
ment ofour growing power, requires that
we should hold as sacred the principles in.
volved in the Monroe doctrine; their bear
ing and import admit Of no miseonstructiou;
they should be applied with unbending ri
gidity.
g. Resolved. That the great highway
which nature as we'll as the assent Of the
States most Immediately interested in its
mantainance, has marked out for free
communication between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans. constitutes one of the most
important achievements realized by the
spirit Of modern times and the unconquera-
Bile energy of our people. That result
should be secured by timely and efficient
exertion of the control which we have a
right to claim over it. and no power on
earth should be suffered to impede orclog
its progress BY any interference with the
relations it may suit our policy to establish
between our government and the govern
ment Of the States within whose dominions
it lies. We can, under no circumstances,
surrender our preponderance in the adjust
ment ofal questions arising out Of it.

81 The BRTDGE.-From the window near

rom the Advertiser that one of the largest
capitalists engaged in the foundry business
4, Pittsburgh. is already making prepara-
Hem, for erecting, as soon as the season
1oens. an extensive stove foundry in Rock
&.l.nd We have no doubt that such an
Establishment in this city would be most
Profitable one. By taking advantage of the
LINES when freights are low BY the river or
railroad, supplies Of pig iron could be pro-
+ured at reasonable rates, and certainly if
3.ir profits can now be made on stoves
brought here from New York and Pennsyl-
$,nia. the business Of making them here
would be profitable.
There is no doubt that the demand for
moves will continue to increase. As all
hnow, wood for fuel is scarce on our prai-
lies, and those who thus use it will adopt
Moves as matter of economy. But in
Mort time coal will be the article in general
Sse and most people will get stoves both
en account of economy and of their greater
tomfort and convenience. We have no
hesitation then in saying that Iowa viii! be
Sne Of the best markets for stoves in the
whole country, and that fortune will be
jusde by any individual or company who
pay establish first class stove foundry at

renee, and we are confident that if tn ex-
Dernent be tried here it will be successful.
