tons
Resolyed,, That this convention reaffirm
the doctrines of the Philadelphia Platform
of June 27, 1856, and will steadfastly ad-
here to them in full confidence of their ul-
innate triumph throughout our State and
nation. -
Resolved, That in view of the high hand
ed outrages still pcrpe.rated in Kansas a.
gainst the lives and property. and social
and civil rights of the masses of her people,
under the sanction Of the Federal Admins
tration. backed by the national purse and
sword, we find additional incentives for
the preservation of our organization and
the vindication of the rights of freemen on
all occasions at the balot-box
Resolved, That the opinions of the Dem
ocratic majority ofthe Supreme Court Of
the United States, in the Dred Scott case,
and the language of President Buchanan,
in his Silliman letter, that "the Con-
ritorics," prove conclusively that the pres
ent administration and its supporters were.
and. are, in favor, ofextending slavery into
the free States and Territories.
Resolved, That, notwithstanding the o.
pinions of the Governor, and his Attor-
ney General, thepeople Of the State of In
diana still retain the right of choosing their
own rulers and Judges, and making their
own laws.
Resolpsd, That the members of the a1-
ministration party in the Legislature of In
diana, in depriving the State its ofrepresen-
tation in the United States Senate, in break
ing up the Legislature without passing the
most necessary legislative measures, have
proved themselves to be factious and un-
trustworthy representatives of the people
OF Indiana.
Resolped, That in the absence Of a proc
lamation by the Governor. it is the right,
and by law the duty. of the people to elect
Supreme Judges, since the terms of two of
them will expire before the next general
election. And therefore we call upon all
men, of all parties, to vote foT Judges at
the present election. .....
Resolped, That the Governor. while ac-
knowledging the necessity, stilt refusing
to call session of the Legislature, and
combining with.the executive officers to
withdraw money from the State Treasury,
contrary to-, and without the authority of
law, has equally with them violated his
oath of Office, and we see in this foreshad=
owing of policy to bring our State credit
into disreputc, resulting in ultimate bank
ruptcy ofthc State. sassri '.ilsss saF 'ais
.ASp WHEREAS, 1t is an admitted indis-
putable fact that two currencies of different
values will not circulate in the same COM
munity at the same time, and whereas the
so-called Democratic party having had the
control ofevery State Legislature for a se-
ries Of years, and every bank bill passed,
every bank created, has been by the active
participation and exertion of leaders, of
that party, and the fact, also ihdisputab.e,
that the charter Of the Bank of the State
was obtained and huckstered for sale In
the money markets of New York, Cincinnati
and other cities, and its franchises finally
sold for large sum of money which was
pockeied by leading $50 called) Democrats,
therefore be it -..- s:'-...1,sss> -
.Resoicd, That the so-called Democratic
party is responsible for the deprecated
bank notes now In circulation to the inju1
ry of trade and the loss of the people.
Resolpea, That the Republican party is
opposed to any paper currency which is
not promptly redesmable in gold coin, and
