Ohio The following declaration Of Repub-
lican principles and measures.
/. We entertain an abiding con fdencc
IN the Cardinal doctrines heretofore in

and In the defence Of which Il has never

them ancw 10 the discriminating consid-
Grafton Of the people.
2. That the people Of Ohio demand
reorganization Of the Judicial Circuits Of
the United States, and that they be 90
constituted as to give TO every section Of
the Confcderacy is lust and equal voice IN
the Supreme Court Of the United States !.
that provision be made for reviewing the
decisions ofthe District and Circuit Courts
Of the United States, by appeal or writ of
error, and for securing fair and impartial
iuries in prosecutions for alleged violations
of the laws Of the Uutcd States.
3. That, proclaiming our determine
tlon rigidly to respect the constitutional
obligations imposed upon the Statee bv
the Federal compact, we maintain the mn
ion Of the States, the rights Of the States
md the liberties Of the people; and in or
der 10 attain these important ends, we de-
mand the repeal Of the Fugitive Slave
Act Of 1860, as Bubversive Of both the
rights Of the States and the liberties of
the people, and as contrary TO the plain
est duties Of humanity and Justice, and as
abhorrent 10 the moral sense of the civil
lied world.
4. We claim for all citizens, native
and naturalizod, liberty of conscience, O.
quality Of rights, and the freest exercise
Of the right Of suffrage; We favor whatcy-
er legislative or administrative reforms
may be necessary 10 protect these rjghts.
and guard against their infringement or
abusei and we oppose any abridpment
whatever, of the right Of naturalization.
now secured by law TO immigrants, and
all determination between natve and nat
urnlized citizens, whether by amendment
OF State constitution or otherwise; and
we condemn equally such discrimination,
whenever and wherever mnde, whether
made by South Carolina, or any other
State.
D. That the developments Of extraya-
gance end corruption in the administra-
tion Of the national affairs impose upon
us the important duty Of casting out those
who have proved laithless, and placing in
power men who can be relied upon 70 re-
duce the public expenditures, lessen the
burthons Of taxation, and protect the
Treasury of the people.
G. That we regard all suggestions and
propositions Of every kind, by whomsoev-
or made, for a revival Of the African slaye
trade, as shocking to the moral sentiments
OF the enlightened portion Of mankind
and that any action on the part of the
government or people connivinp at, or
that horrid and inhuman traffic,
would justly subject tho government aud
citizens Of the United States, to the re-
proach and execration Of all civilized and
christian people throught the world.
7. That we are in favor Of granting 10
actual settlers one hundred and sixty
acres Of the public lands free Of charge,
and we do most unqualifedly condemn the |
course Of the proslavory Democracy in
Congress, IN opposing and defeating in
the United States Seneto the Homestead
Bill, which was designed TO secure free
homes for the poor man, whether of na-
tive or foreign birth.
3, We regard the usurpOton and abuse
of power by the last legislature In repeat /
ed instances, and especially in mnking ap-
pointmonts to Office in plain violation of /
the constitutions in virtually 0bolishing
the Board Of Public Works, and placing
the several divisions $50 arranged for par
tizan purpose as to give the largest por-
ton to the junior member) under the un-
controlled charge Of individual members,
without responsibility 70 the whole Board;
In making inadequate provision for the
safe keeping of the public monies; and in
attempting to force upon the people of
Cincinnati an arbitrary system of police,
against their consent, as deserving the ro- .
probation Of all good citizens.
.. That the Republicans Of Ohio point
With entire satisfaction ssJ Pri''o 90 the n
fignned, honest, faithful and iudicious
manner in which the present Executive
md other officers Of the State Government
lave discharged the duties ortheir respec-
i've positions; That tho course Hon. ID. n

md of the Republican members Of Con-
gress, in their abs advocacy of the inter-
'sts Of the poor man, in urging the pass

Dur unqualified approval.
10. We cordially invite all men Of all |
parties TO join with us, in earnest endeav- /
DTS to restore the Government 10 It's orig |
nal purity, and to preserve the proud her |
tage of American Institutions, transmit /
ted to us by our Fathers, complete and un- |
