dent BrIchNAam deserves the earnest suspprt ef
all Mstenal enl0srats iH his efforts to carry out
the principles proclaimed by tie Cffscin1ati
Conventions; and to execute all the laws of the
United States.
ResotUed, That, in the language of WEBSTER.
"Ether the laws Of the Union are teyond the
control of the States, or ell we have no consti-
tuition OF general government, and are thrust
back again to the days of the confcderacy:"--
that we regard the Constitution of the United

OF the United States. sE,k that by it's decisions
we, in common with ALI good citizens, will abide.
Resol0et, That tho Blaek Republican, Leaisla-
tuIe of Ohio by its reasonable attempts to '.on-
troll and encourage resistance 10 the laws of

nation Of all good citizens.
Res0lDek That the exposition contained in
the recent decision Of the Supreme Court of the

ResolDet That an experience of two wears
has shown that the boasted promises of retrench-
ment and reform so loudly made by the present
State administration, like most of the promises
of Black Hepublicanism, were all ''sound. and
Jury signifying nothing;''-and that we willuse
our best energies to elect Democratic State
ticket and Legislature this fall, which though
it may not promise so much, or have so much
regard for the interests of other parts of the
world as the present Black Republicans pretend
to have, will yet do something towards securipq
and protecting the interests Of the people of tie
Safe Of Ohio.
ResolOet, That the success of the Indepen-
dent Treasury system, inaugurated by the Gov
ernment of the United States, has fully yindi-
Gated the wisdom of its adoption; and, that the
past history of the Treasury department in, the
State of Ohio, as well as the enormous losses
lately sustained through it, as fully show the
ineXpediency and fstal policy of permitting any
connection of itsfunds with Banks or Bankers:
We are therefore in'lavor of the entire divorce
ment of the same from all monicd corporations

State of Ohio, of AN INDErENDExqr treasury
