Hall, next Thursday evening, and hear what
can be said in support of them.
Resolved, That the Dem ocra,ic party has
done more to crush out the true principles
of our Government, and bring on despot-
ism in this country, in the last six years,
than all other influences combined.
Resolved, That it was, and is conceded
fact, that the Administration Of FRANKLIN
PIERCE was an imbecle and corrupt one,
and under it, was put in course of opera
ton, principles, which if carried out. would
lead to the overthrow of this Government.
Resolved, That the principles put in
course Of operation by FRANKLIN PIERCE,
are being carried out by JAMES BUCHANAN
and his administration, in attempting to
force Constitution upon the people of
Kansas, which they nbominated and destest-
ed; and, in doing -, they gave fat and
direct contradiction to their great and pet
theory of "Squatter" or Popular Sow ereign-
ty.
Resolred, That all that is left of that
once glorious and noble Democratic party,
is Office seekers and Office holders; and but
for their untiring exertlons to hold on to
Office and save the spoils, the Democratic
party would be no more.
Resolved, That it is reserved for the Re-
publican party of this country to bring back
the Government to its original policy, and
put in operation the wheels of Government
so that all confusion and discord will cease
in the Union.
Resolved, That the Republican party is
the true Democracy, and is the only party
that entertains the true theory, and prac-
tees the Constitutional doctrine Of "Squat-
ter" or popular sovereignty; and are willing
to stand by it, as it was taught and practiced
BY Washington, Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe.
Resolved, That the doctrine of "Squat-
ter Sovereignty" as preached by Demo
Gratis, is an unmitigated humbug, and the
sole object of the party is to introduce the
black race into territory now free, to the
exclusion of the poor whites.
Resolued, That the Republican party is
the only party that has the good of the
masses at heart, and it is not the negro that
they are battling for, but the white race.
Resolved, That We, rs Republicans Of
Pottawattamie county, adhere to the great
principles cnunciated at Philadelphia in the
Republican Convention, and upon them, we
base our earnest expectation Of certain tri-
umph, and certain defeat of our enemies.
Resolved, That the Republicans of the
Slope are proud of their able and efficient
Representative in Congress, in the person of
Col. S. r. CURTIS, and that We shall do all
in our power to re- elect him to the position
he now occupies.
