There is nothing that we have read for long
time thet gives US as much pleasure as the FOL
lowing resolutions passed by the invincibe De-
mOcracy Of Cuyahoga county "a few days since
Although the Democracy of the Reserve are be-
set with disunion Abolitionists on every hand,
they never give up the good old ship" The
best Democrats always live where they have the
most opposition. They have no spols of Office
to contend for-Iheir only motto is principle;
and that they fght for "by day and by night" "
Give US Democrat that has eternal opposition,
and you willalways give US a good one. The
more opposition they have, the dearer their
principles are to them. The opposition our
friends ON the Reserve and in this county have
to contend with is what makes them such good
! Democrats.
The resolutions passed by our Cuyahoga
friends is such good Democracy that we must
give them entire. Their sentiments are the sem
timents of every good Democrat, no difference
where he halls from We ask our friends to
give them a careful perusal. and when they have
done so, they will thank us for publishing them:
ResolUea, By the Democracy of Cuyahoea
county, in convention assembled, that we regard
it as the duty Of every good citizen to obey the
laws of the country, whatever they may be, un-
til modified, repealed or pronounced unconstit-
tutional by Court of competent juriSdiction
and that every attempt to evade or resist this
high obligation of our national compact is an
act Of rebellion leading to revolution, and sho'd
be frowned upon by every lover of the Union.
Reso,Vet, That we have no confidence in the
"Higher Law distractions Of the day; that we
prefer the interpretations Of the trainers of the
constitution to those of its deiamers; and, that
the Dred Scott decision and every other decls-
ion of the Supreme Court is the law to US, until
reversed or changed in the way prescribed by
the constitution ITSELF
ReS1L0ed, That the great doctrine of popular
sovereignty in the Territories, as declared in the
Kansas Nebraska Act, re-affirmed by the Gin
cinnati Convention, and finally approved by the
American peoples the true rendering ofth con-
stituton on that subject, and ii fairly carried out
in practice, will rid the country of Slavery agi-
tation and Slavery agitators producing once more
peace within our borders and prosperity never
attained by any former Republic.
ResO5Ved That the just and patriotic views on
national questions expressed by President Bu-
chanan in his inaugural address meet with our
unqualified approval; and especially the purpose
announced by him and subsequently endorsed
by his entire cabinet, to dispose of the Slavery
issue in hansrs by causing the same TO be suo-
mitted to vote of the actual residents Of that
territory at the time of voting is emnently wise
and entities his Administrations the appreciation
Of the Amerisan people.
ReS0lUed That the recent embeZzIement of
nearly one million of dollars from our State
Treasury, while in the custody of Black Repub-
Ican office holders: which money had been sew
era times counted by Fusion officials and SOL
emnly certified and sworn as existing therein,
Is alike startling in its magnitude alarming in
its consequences, and unparalleled in the history
OF State: and while we are thereby admonIsh-
ed Of the necessity of change Of administra-
ion, and additional legislation for the safe keep
ing of the public monies, we demand that thor
ough legal investigation shall be had and that
all who are guilty of participating, either di-
rectly or indirectly, in this astounding larceny
of the peoples money, whether they be State
or Bank officials, or TO whatever political party
they may belong, Shall suffer the severest pen
atty of the law,
RssolOsd, That the "lndependent Treasury"

practical operations the foresight and wisdom of

to the country against commercial panics and

ReSolUed That year and half Of Republican
rule, with its swarm of Smelling Committees,
