We have received letter from the committee of
management enclosing full report Of the proceed
ings of the meeting and requesting us TO publish the
same. The crowded state of columns will ony
permit MS to comply so far with the request as TO
make room for the subjoined resolutions which were
unanimously adopted by the meeting, and which
cannot be too warmly commended to the perusa of
democrats in every section of the Union no less for
the nationality Of their views than for the ability
with which those views are set forth:
Resolped That we congratulate the democracy OF st
Lawrence county that unity of principle and action pre-
walls In their councils and that the action of this days
convention to them firm and useful democratic
organization which earnestly hope may prove a
full auxiliary In restoring " Old St Lawrence once the
banner county Of the Empire State to her old position in
the democratic ranks and pledge ourselves,
bers of the association this day organized TO exercise
constant vigilance and exerton in furtheance OF that OBJ
jcct, and, in union with brethren of the State
will labor with untiring perseverance and ZEAL with the
confident hope that we may once present the En-
pire State to the democracy Of the Union clcansed
from the evils OF anaticism and adheng u the faith of
| jefferson and Jackson.
Resoloed, That have firm belief and AN abiding
faith in the principles and action Of the democratic party
proclaimed in the resolutions of the late Cincinnati
Convention and would urge ellow-citzens to
slider them closely and mpartiay and also their pract
cal operation believing that thereby will they be con-
vnccd that the principles of the democratic party
titled to their support and allegiance To those who
deceived by their prejudces, and by false lights held
by those who have proved traitors cause would
say that hope that the experience of the past has
taught them the folly Of trusting their old enemies
lers and leaders, and confidently hope the future will
find them, of DID, supporting the principles of denoc-
racy and arrayed among its friends.
Resolred That cordially endorse the acts and the
policy of the administration of James Buchanan and we
will support them with all ability and exeition
ognising in noble President and his cabinet worthy
leaders and opponents Of the principles of the democratic
party.
Rorod That the State policy and action of the demo-
cratic party when in power has always been proclaimed
and developed in economical and frugal expenditures
Capitalization of political patronage and referring the
to the direct action of the people in their several To-
catics, all of which stands in direct opposition to the
policy and action of enemies developed since
they have been in possession and control of State
matters. They gained their power by placing false
issues before the people and by appeal to their pre-
udices and passions in regard to matters far from
the political Of this State and having abused the
trust and confidence placed in them by squandeng the
public funds, involving the financial affairs of the State
in bankruptcy and ruin except they may resort to
heavy taxation upon the people, they seek to
up and conceal their mismanagement and msue by per-
petuating the original fraud. And again would they
convince the people that their domestic affairs do not
quire their investigation regulation while slavery
lists in other parts Of this Unon assuring them that there
is State policy to he advanced but State policy
in Kansas that there is constitution to be regarded
but ''the Topeka constitution and while they are
busly stealing from the pockets of the people, and trans
feng their hard earned TO their own they di
rect their attention to bleeding Kansas full remedy
for their want and desire of funds
Resoa, That consider many of the laws passed by
the late Legislature particularly the bills known the
metropolitan police the central park and the harbor
bills unjust and oppressive, and against the spirit if
not the letter, of the constitution They constitute the
first of series of assaults upon municipal freedom and
local independence in this State AS they the FIRST
they should be the last We solemny protest against
such legislation that affects exercise such unjust inter-
ference and oppressive control the domestic policy
elow-citizens, and would express with demo-
cratic brethren of the city of New York. indignation
towards the scheming parsans of the back-repubcan
party who have sought to from them their vested
franchises and independence and pledge to them our
hearty cooperation and support to at the
sion body of honest Legislators, who will repeal these
tyannca bills and protect them in the exercise of their
municipal liberties
Resolued, That we urge upon democratic brethren
of the State that unity policy and action that should be
the result of union principle and shall not hesitate
to openly brand traitors to the any man
organization protesting to be democratic who seek to
any strifcs lissensos in the democratic party
whatever may he their motives for such In
union only look for and the firm estab-
lishment of our principles.
