RESOLUTIONS.
G. Volney Dorsey, from the Committee on
Resolutions, submitted the following report,
which was adopted with great enthusiasm:
The Democracy Of Ohio, by their Delegates
in Convention assembled, hereby affirm the
platform of principles adopted by the General
Convention Of the Democratic party, at Cincin-
natl, on the 4th Of June, 1856.
/. Resolved, That the organized Territories
of the United States. although not ed
with all the attributes OF sovereignty, are only
held in the territorial condition until they at
tain a sufficient number of inhabitants to au-
thorize their admission into the Union as a
State; and, therefore, are justly entitled to the
right Of sell, government. and the undisturbed
regulation oftheir domestic or local affairs, sub
ject to the Constitution Of the United States;
and that any attempt by Congress, or any Of
the States, to establish or MAINTAIN, prohibit or
abolish, the relation of master and slave in a
Territory, would be q departure from the orig
inal doctrine of our American institutions; and
that we adhere, immovably, to the principle Of
"Non Iateruentinn, By Congress, Nth slavery IN
the States and Territories" as declared in the
i Kansas Nebraska bill, and openly disclaim fell.
lowship with those, whether at the South, or
the North, or the West, who council the aban-
Idonment, Limitation, or avoidance Of that prin-
tciple.
q. Resolued, That the suppression of the AZ
rican and foreign slave trade, by the federal gov
erument, after the year eighteen hundred and
seven, is one Of the compromises on the faith
of which tn Constitution was adopted, and oui
Union Of slaveholding and non .s~laveholdinl
States firmly established; that the revival 0
that trade would not only renew those ~cruelties
which once provoked the indignation Of the civ
ilized world, but would expose the slaveholdine
States to a constant terror of servile ~insurrec
ton, and the non-slaveholding States Of the
border, like Ohio, to all the mischief and an.
~noyance of a free black population; for these
reasons, with others, the Democracy Of Ohio
are opposed to any such revival, and to any
measure tending in that direction.
8. Resolped, That the rendition of fugitive
slaves, upon demand Of the perron entitled t.
their service or labor, is a duty imposed upon
every state of the Union by the terms of the
Federal compact; that the laws passed by Con
gress to secure such rendition, in 1888 and 1885,
ought to be promptly and faithfully executed
and that the leaders of the self-styled Repub.
tlican party, in Ohio, by a persistent disregard
of the Constitution of the United States in thi
particular, have shown themselves unworthy OIL
the confidence of well-disposed, patriotic ant
Ipeaceable citizens.
4. Resolged, That the opposition Of the Repub
Ilican party in Congress to the admission OF Or
egon, exposes fully the utter hypocrisy Of Their
pretensions to be the peculiar friends of FREE
States.
5. Resolue1, That we affirm the absolute SOW
ereignty of the States Of this Union in regart
to theft domestic institutions, and the perfec
compatibility of the confederation Of free an'
slave States to exist tremendously together un
der the provisions OF our Federal Constitution
6. Resolvel, That the acquisition Of the Is
land Of Cuba is, in our opinion, eminently desi
rable for the safety and prosperity Of our Repub
lie, and we should hail with pleasure any meas
ure consistent with justice, that would accom-
plisll this object. We oan never consent to it
appropriation By any OF the powerful States o
Europe, and would incur all the dangers Of wal
rather than acqniesce in such q result.
z. RESOLVED, That the Democracy Of Ohio dis
approve the lavish grants Of the public domain
heretofore made by Congress to Railroad Com
Ipanies and other corporations; but are in fayo
OF granting limited portions of the public land
to actual settlers on condition of O bona file &C
l~cupation and cultivation.
&. Resloek, That the Republican party hav
in Massachusetts bv allowing a fugitive slsv
from the South the right Of suffrage and otfic
in one year and requiring for the same purpos
Of the natnralized citizen a residence of tw'
years after naturalization, equivalent to an ex
tension Of the period for naturalization to sew
en- years, attempting to degrade the foreig'
white mar below the level ofthe negro and mn
latto.
O.. Resoipea, Thatthe vigor and efficiency 0
the Administration, manifested in the adjust
ment Of our difficulties with Great Britain, il
regard to the right Of search, in the prompl
and successful redress Of wrongs inflicted upon
us by the Government OF Paraguay; the decis.
i've suppression Of the rebellion in Utah; in the
enforcement of the neutrality laws; in the i'm
partial execution Of the Acts Of Congress fol
