policy, and that we cheerfully approve of the
nominations there made, and hereby pledge
our earnest endeavors to elect the nominees.
Resol,ed. That political party, whose his
tory proves them To be robbers of the school
fund and spUilsmeu generally whose princi-
pies are a hotch potch of un-ntervcntion and
bred Scottish, Pennsylvania protection and
South Carolina frce-tradc and who in con-
vcntion assembled solemnly declare them
selves prosecutors of the colored race, denying
them the privileges of education, should not
be countenanced by those electors who rank
themselves as intelligent and rejecting citi-
zens
Res0iUed, That we discover but one distinct
i've feature of the National Democratic Party,
namely, its fidelity to the slave interest-that
in Iowa the most grievous complaint of Dem
ocrats is, that the people have denied them ac-
cess to the public treasury, and, what is worse
for them, intend to perpetuate the denial.
Resolred, That the failure of the late Dem
ocratic State Convention to express an opinion
upon the decapitation of Governors Geary,
Walker and Stanton, for interfering with the
slavery programme in Kansas the Lecompton
constitution; the English bill the bred
Scott decision the $50, 900, 600 Cuba Approe
priation; the veto of the Agricultural College
| bill the failure of the Postotfice Appropria-
| ton bill the Infringement of postal facilities
| in the North, while the South is unrestrict-
ed &C.. &c, proves that our opponents are
| afioat upon perilous sea, without compass or
| rudder.
Resolved, That the Maine Liquor Law which
| so troubles the spirits of our Democratic friends,
is no bantling of ours; and that if they wish
to alter or abolish it and substitute better
law in its stead. we will heartily cooperate
with them in making such change.
Resolred, That our present common school
system, understood to be the product of that
prominent Democrat, Maturin l.. Fisher, and
engrafted on our Constitution by such distin-
guished Democrats as Judge Hail. Ed Johns
ton and Others may, and undoubtedly does
need amending and, if so, to the amend.
mcnt of this law also, we are ready to give
our cordial assent and assistance.
Resolved, That the action of the late Demo-
| cratic State Convention in placing Buchanan
men upon Douglas platform, rendered it diff
ficult for the Democrats of this District, assem-
bled in Convention here last week, to erect a
smooth platform upon which they hoped to
travel into power. Their platform ought to
be smooth, for the indications are that their
strength is becoming, g. Small by degrees
and beautifully less"
Resoired, That the gross outrage committed
upon the purity of the ballot box under the
sanction of the Democratic party, which out
RACES have been defended by leading Democrats
in this District because as they said, ''the good
of the party required it, - shows the neiarious
tenure by which our opponents would obtain
and hold power. and the "good of the people
demands signal rebuke from the Republi
cans of this District.
On motion of Mr.. Parker of Mitchell,
the convention proceeded to take all
informal ballot for State Senator.
