The committee on resolutions report to this
Convention as follows
l. ReSOlred, That when we look back to the
day when we cast our votes for James Buchan-
an, and take retrospective view of the many
difficulties he, has had to encounter in the ad-
ministration of the Government from the time
of his first inaugural to the present moment,
and witness his fidelity to Democratic principles,
the dignifed calmness and the steady and exper-
fenced hand with which he has guided the affairs
of the nation in the settlement of our most CON-
plicated affairs at home, including the difficulties
in Utah. and the noble bearing he has held to.
ward other nations distant from this our own fa-
vord land and the influence he has exerted in
bringing about a settlement of very many com
plicated questions, among which is the Amer
ican or Cass definition of the right of search,
and an apology obtained from Paraguay for in
suits offered by the Paraguayans to the Amer-
can fag-for such and kindred measures he de-
serves the plaudit Of "well done good and faith
ful servant" by every American citizen
2. ReSOlCed, That we disapprove and con-
demn the course pursued by those in authority
in this State and County in the management
Black Republican votes-who made great pre-
tentions to honesty and ability, and an endear-
ing affection for the people and more especially
and unbounded philanthropy for the colored
race, particularly for those residing out of this
State and in O more congenial cline, and who
palmed themselves as par excellence, have been
weighed in a balance, and found wanting in abil
ity to manage our affairs in an. economical and
frugal manner-aud in addition, although for
the honor Of the County and State, we are sorry
to say it-yet such appears to be the fact, that
they have loved gold rather than the souls and
bodies of colored persons-untill nearly million
of dollars of the public moneys have been squan-
dered in our State and perhaps ten thousand
dollars in our Country. We say, perhaps, for
the simple reason that Black Republican officials
seldom publish to the world true and unguard-
ed statement Of their doings in financial affairs,
therefore the people are left to conjecture and
guess consequently we think ten thousand dol
lars is not far from the mark that the people OF
this County have to pay for their duplicity in
looking after the colored race instead ofplacing
honest men in Office, and managing their own af-
fairs
g. Resolved, That the Republicans in Kansas
in refusing the right of suffrage to the free peo-
pie OF color and the Republicans of Ohio in
supporting a man for the Judiciary who does oil
has heretofore dealt in human chattels, Ito use
their own favorite phrase,) shows gross incon-
sistency and hypocrisy almost without parallel
4. ResolUed, That the Democratic party is
the only real party who are the guardians Of the
peoples rights and the defenders of their liber
.ties.
5. ResolUed, That we approve the nomina
ton of State officers made at Columbus, by the
Democratic State Convention and will give them
our hearty, united and undivided support.
