Until recently it was the fashion of our Ohio
Democratic Conventions TO pass resolutions against
slavery. and slavery extension which we're used to
sugar coat and facilitate the. swallowing of the ne
cessary pro.slavery resolutions of the party in its
mere rational capacity. b tnow they drop their
double dealing method of quilting the tender footed
of the party and come out unequivocally in favor
of extending slavery over the free states, Ohio
among the number by endorsing Judge Taneys
Decision. We put their platform on record be-
low.
The following is the production Of Chip Flood
of Urbanna, who was editor of the Statesman in
1854, when he denounced Douglas for the in
PRODUCTION of the Kansas-N ebraska bill, and SEQ ut
ed the idea that it could ever be made q part Of
the democratic faith.
Resolved, BY the Democracy of the State OIL
Ohio, in Convention assembled, that it is one the
first and, highest duties of the people of a Rebub
lican Government to obey the laws of the country
whatever they may be. until modified. repealed
or pronounced unconstitutional by a court of com

or resist this high obligation of our national com
pact, is an act of rebellion, leading to revolution
and should be frowned upon by every lover Of
Union.
Second, that at this, the first Convention of the
Democracy, since the Presidential election of 1856
the Democracy of Ohio present their congratula

the tide of sectional tanaticism, which was fas
sweeping the vessel of state upon the quicksand'
of dissolution.
Third. That we have entire confidence in thu
patriotism, talents, and integrity of the Nationa
Administration and cordially endorse the doctrine
enunciated by President Buchanan, in his inau
geral Address, to dispose of the Slavery issue ii
Kansas, by submitting the same to a vote OF tn
actual residents of the Territory, as eminehtl.
wise and Democratic.
Fourth. That tho great doctrine of popular SOW
~ereignty first proclaimed by Jefferson IN the Dec
~laration Of Independence, reiterated by hlr. JeI
fersou in his resolves of 1854, endorsed by tn
Kansas Nebraska Act, as reafirmed in the Cincin
natl Platform of party creed, will rid the countr
of sectionalism.
Fifth, That while we look to no authority bu
reason for our political opinions, We deem it prop
er to express deep qualification At the concurrenc
of the Supreme Court OF the United States on tn
doctrine with regard to the Constitutions Powe
and political rights Of the States and T%erritorie
which have been long maintained by the Demo
