A PAPER FOR THE FAMILY CIRCLE.
cAss COUNTY RESOLUTIONS,


The Democratic County Convention o
Cass, held at Logansport on the II inst
unanimously passed the following resolu
tons in regard to State policy. 1t will b.
seen that the Convention resolved that ii
proceedings be published in the State Sen
fnei, but the managers of that paper d.
not see ct give them place in its columns
Why the staunch and reliable Democracy
Of Cass County is thus ignored by a paper
claiming TO be the central organ af the
party, is no mystery to US Had their pro
ccedings like the speech Of Judge Hugh'
at Greenfield, been sort Of kiss and make
up affair between them and the new State
Bank, we have no sort Of doubt they would
have found most welcome place in the
columns Of the Sentinel
S. A. Hall, from the committee reported
the following resolutions:
Resolred, That the Democracy Of Cass
County rejoice in the judgment rendered
at the baliot-box In favor Of Democratic
principles redeeming the lower House Of
Congress from the control Of n factious ma
jority, again placing oil the departments oil
the general government In the hands Of the
National Democracy, and clearly indica-
| ting that although falsehood and secret or.
CARNATIONS may temporarily succeed, the
sober second thought will always sustain
the party that relies upon the intelligence
and virtue Of the American people.
Rcsoired, That we have full confidence
in he <.atrtoffafx. I'D - zoe oLf ~
James Buchanan, and in his ability 10
carry the country safely through all diff
culties at home and abroad.
Rcsofred, That we think the interests OF
the State demand that an extra session OF
the Legislature should be called at an early
day.
Resolred, That we deem IL the duty Of
the State Executive 70 order an election for
Supreme Judges to fill the vacancies occa-
stoned by the resignation Of Judge Stew
art and Gookins, aud that IL is the duty Of
the Democratic State Central Committee to
call Convention at an early day to nomi-
nate candidates whether an election Is or
dered or not
RESOLVED, That Democratic leaders should
be respected and sustained no longer than
they sustain oil the principles laid down in
the National and State platforms Of the
Democratic party.
Rssoired, That oil experience teaches
that paper money is at war with the rights
and interests of the laboring classes--that
Banking institutions are monopolies which
ought not 10 be created under the sanction
Of the Legislature-that the recent failures
Of banks confirm the warning Of General
jackson against them-and that the over
throw Of the entire system Of paper money
banking as now practiced, should DO de-
manded by the people atthe hands Of their
representatives.
Resoired, That the passage Of the bill
TO organize the Bank ofthe State Of Indiana
was uncalled for by the people, and an un-
justifable violation OF Democratic princi-
pies
Resofred, That we believe an Independ-
ent Treasury will work rs satisfactorily in
State as in National finances, aud that il
should be established in this State
Resoired, That we arc opposed to the
scheme 10 transfer the Wabash and Erie
Canal from the bond-holders to the State
that the consumation Of that scheme will
fasten upon the people Of INDIANA an addi-
tional debt Of seven millions Of dollars,
requiring the annual payment Of half q
million dollars in interest-and that we de.
mand Of our representatives an uncompro-
missing opposition to il
Resoired, That Know Nothingism is a
principle which Is utterly opposed to that
civil and religious liberty Of which we as
a people boast-and that tho Democratic
party is pledged to oppose it under what
ever phase IL may present itself
The resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed
On motion Of A. M. Gratis,
Convention be published in the Democratic
Pharos, and State Sentinel.
