Resolved, That the vigor and efficiency of
the Administration, manifested in the ad.
nstment ofour difficulties with Great Brit
ain, in regard TO the right Of search; in the
prompt and successful redless fwrongs in
flicied upon us by the Government of Para
quay; the decisive suppression oi the rebel
lion in Utah; in the enforcement OF the neu.
trality laws; in the impartial execution Of
the acts Of Congress for the suppression Of

right Of suffrage, or any other political right;

and her destinies controlled, by white men
exclusively, and for the paramount interests
Of the white race.

pies OF the Independent Treasury Law, pass
ed by the late Legislature Of this State.
Resolued, That we, the delegates in this
Convention, representing the Democraticpar-
ty of Ohio, and proposing no departure from
its ancient and well.tried principles, never
theless appeal TO the people of Ohio at large,
as our fellow-citizens, equally interested
with US in the maintenance of the Federal
Union according to the letter and spirit Of
Tho Constitution, and equally desirous of the
blessings of peace and public order, TO units
with us in rebuking the wanton, factious,
revolutionary designs Of the leaders Of the
self styled Republican party, and thus avoid
what seems otherwise inevitable, conflict of
jurisdictions between the United States and
those of our own State; a conflict of the
most sorrowful character, disastrous and per-
haps fatal to us, but certainly calculated, at
all events, to bring the name Of American
liberty into contempt abroad.
