| the first and highest duties OF the people OF re-
publican Government TO obey the laws OF the coun-
| Try, whatever they may be, until moditiedrepeaed,
| or pronounced unconstitutional by Court of com
peteut jurisdiction; and that all attempts TO evade
or resist this high obligation of our national COM
pact is act Of rebellion leading revolutioland
should be frowned upon by every lover of the
Union.
3 Resolued, That at this, the first Convention
Of the Democracy since the Presidential election OF
1885, the Democracy of Ohio present their con-
graiuatons to the Democracy of the Union, who
staid the tide of sectional ianaticisn, which was
last sweeping the vessel of State upon the quick
sands Of diSunion.
8 Rosolusd That we have every confidence in
the patriotism, talents and integrity of the Ma
tional Administration, and we cordially endorse
the doctrine, enunciated by President Buchanan in
his Inaugural Address, to dispose of the slavery
issue in Kansas by submitting the same to vote
Of the actual residents of the 'rerrtory,us eminent
y wise and Democratic.
! a. RcSolUed, That the great doctrine of popular
sovereignty first proclaimed to the world in the
| Declaration OF Independence, reiterated by Mr..
Jefferson in his resolves Of l7Sl-endorsed 10y the
Kansas Nebraska Act, and re affirmed in the Gin
cinnat platform if fairly carried out, will rid the
country alike of Northern and Southern fanaiciSm,
and fixes in peri otuiy the existence of our glori-
Gus Union.
8. RcsDlued, That while we look to no author
ity but reason for our political opinions deem
it proper TO express deep qualification at the con-
curIoncc of the Supreme Court Of the United States
in the doctrine with regard to the Constitutional
Powers and Political Rights of the States and Ter
ritores, which have been maintained by the Dem
ucrac Party and formally avowed by it in the three
National Conventions.
Il g. RESOLVED, That the late deTalcatioh in The
Treasury Of the State imperiously demands That the
money OF the people placed therein, should be
guarded with jealous care, and that, as the only
means Of 50 dong we rcassert and re.endorsc The
resolves of the Democratic State Convention Of
the Syh of January, 1881, plcdging the next Dem
ocratic Legislature to carry it into effect in word
; aud deed is follows
/, ResOlued. That the Independent Treasury es-
tabished by the Democracy of the Union, after a
continued struggle for years. has in its practical
operation, yiudicatcd and proven all that was
claimed for it by its wnrmest advocates. And llut
the Democracy of Ohio are in favor of the enact
ment by the Legislature, Of system, similar in its
principles for the safe keeping and distribution of
= the public funds of the State"
z. Rescued, That we are in favol of an eco
nomical administration of the State, and the Fed
eral Government and that the public policy de-
mandS, at this time the most efficient and thorough
measures of reform in Ohio in order to reduce the
burdens of taxation by restraining the operations
OF the government from projects OF public cNpcli-
diure not necessary or essential TO It's strictly
legitimate purpose, and also by imposing salutary
checks upon the abuse Of the taxing power in the
hands of the local authorities
8. RESOLVED. That VIM. II. Gibson and John G.
Bresin, by their corrupt embezzlement of the pub
lie moneys, merit and we trust, will receive the re-
ward OF inquity, within the walls OF the Ohio Pen
itentiary.'
The first resolution strongly intimates that
n there are certai.I laws in existence which are
obnoxious to the people OF Ohio. OF course
reference is had to the fugitive slave law, and to
the Champaign county case. Yet they say We
must obey this law until il is repealed, ami every
democrat in Congress has invariably voted
against its repeal and even this convention
} failed TO say that its repeal was demanded, or
!, even wished for, by Ohio democracy.
S The second resolution congratnlates the de
= mocracy of the Uu.on Chat is the South) in pre-
e serving the Uuion iasl fill by Getting man
= upon strictly sectional platform, by strictly
sectional vote. Its consistency is beautiful.
The third endorses Buchanan, and sanctions
his assertion that ths actual settlers of Kansas
should be entitled to vote. But they have nol
a word TO say about the fact that l6O0 person,
were enrolled as voters by the administration
officers when there Were over 25 600 legal voter,
in the territory. Actions speak louder than
words, and such a resolution is simply ricu
lous when every act of the administration, which
, it approves, puts he lie TO its professions.
In their fourth resolve they endorse the doc
trine OF Squltter Sovereignty with an if whicl
plainly Indicate their acknowledgement OF tn
fact that Pierce trimpled it under foot, and tina
Buchanan is to-day using tn, force Of the Arm.
- 10 defeat its operations in K,nsas.
The fifth endorses til. Dfei Scott decision
with all its denominations.
The sixth resolution favors an inlepenlen
treasury system for thr S.ate, which will ullor
places for ollics seekers, anl cost the peupl
>, more monry 20 keep up governmental expenses
:. Uuder its operations, We should soon rx ect /

The seventh declares in favor Of economy i
