The following Declaration of Principles
was unanimously adopted by the State Con-
vention:
Invoking earnestly the favor Of God and
relying confidently upon the intelligence, the
patriotism and the discriminating justice Of
the people, we, the Delegates of the Repub-
lican party in State Convention assembled,
submit to The candid ard enlightened judge
ment of the freemen of Ohio the following
Declaration of Republica principles and
measures:
/. We adhere to the platform adopted by
the Republican Convention held at Philadel-
phia in July, l776. and reaffirmcd in June,
1856, and solemnly consecrate our political
and mortal powers to support its doctrines.
2. We maintain the Union of the States,
the Rights of the States and the Liberties of
the people.
8. We submit cheerfally to the legitimate
and Constitutional exercise of the powers Of
the Federal Government; but we protest a.
gainst the arrest and vexatious prosecution,
| under writs of Federal Commissioners, of our
Judges, Sherifs, Justices Of the peace and
private citizens, for acts required by State
law, as oppressively tyranical and unwarran-
table.
4. We insist that the lawful process by
the State Courts for the maintenance of
right, and prosecution and punishment of
crime committed within the limits Of Ohio
and against her sovereignty, shall be executed
without let or hindrance by Fedora! Officials.
5. We deny the right of the Federal au
thorities, under the color of Fugitive Slave
act or any other act, to suspend the writ OF
habeas corpus, or defeat its due execution and
operation in this State.
6. We condemn the doctrines of the ma
jority of the Federal Supreme Court in the
Dred Scott case as anti-coustitutional, and
republican, anti-democratc, incompatible with
State rights and destructive of personal Sc
curity.
Z. We regard Slavery as great evil aud
wrong, ever aggressive, continually mschicv-
ous, and prospcctivcly fatal both to Union
and Liberty; and we therefore earnestly op-
pose its extension or encouragement by the
Federal Government.
8. We concur with vast majority Of the
people of the Free States, and with a respec-
table portion of the people Of the Slave
States, in rcprobstion of tho action Of the
Federal Government, under the control of
the Slave Power, in breaking down the bar
riers against Slavery extension provided by
the wisdom Of our fathers, and in forcing
| Slavery into free territory under the fraudu-
lent pr, tcnscs of the n Nbraska Kansas bill,
in disregard Of settled national policy and
! plain constitutional provisions.
o. We adhere cordially to the doctrine Of
popular sovereignty as taught in the Dcelara-
ton Of Independence; but condemn, as a
gross pervcr,ion of that doctrine, the modern
prctcnsion that one portion of community may
rightfullv enslave another.
10. We hold to the old-fhshioncd notion
of our Fathers, "a fair days wages for fiir
days labor" and repudiate with scorn the
sentiment that Slavery is the natural and
normal condition Of the laboring man." and
will resist as anti-republican and unjust, every
attempt, by whomsoever made, to degrade
the free labo. of frcemen, here and else
where, and proclaim it as one Of the lead
ing objects Of the Republican party in seek
ing to prevent the further spread of Slavery
to secure to the free white labor Of the coun
try its just reward and its full social and po
| litical rights.
