position in the Presidential contest of 1900

JOHN c. BRECKINRIDGE and JOSEPH LANE; be
ieving that the contains the true and correct
explanation of the Cincinnati Platform, and the
only correct position Of the National Democracy
upon the doctrine of Non-Intervcntion.
ReS0lred, That the correct Interpretation of the
principles of Non Intervention is-rhat neither
Congress nor a Territorial Legislature, whether
by direct, indirect or unfricndly Legislation has
the right or the power to annul or impair the Con
sItutional right of any citizen of the United States
to take his property, of whatever character, into
the common Territories, and hold the same there
while the Territorial condition remains.
Resolred, That all citizens of the United States
have IN equal right to settle with their property
in the Territories, and that under the decision of
the supreme Court, in the Dred Scott case, which
we recognize as a true and correct exposition of
thepow .rs reposed in Congress over the Terrific
res. neither Congress Territorial Legsla
lures can Interfere with or impair that right
ResOlred, That regarding the decision of the Su-
prcme Court as binding upon all departments of
Party to resist all attempts TO commit that pa "
to the doctrine that the Territorial Legislature,
contrary to any decision which NAV be- or has
| been rendered by that Court, may discriminate
either i'll relation to persons property in the
Territories, which are the common possessions of
the United States, as to give advantages to the
citizens of one State, which are not equally as
| sured to those of every other State.
Resotced, That the old and well established doct
rine of the Democratic party, of % Principles, not
Men," is superior to, and above all questions of
regularity or irregularity of nominations That
as Democrats, we are bound to follow where prin-
ciples and not ambitious leaders guide us, and will
! eschcw all coalitions, fusions or ANAL carnations
as subvcrsive of all principle, and ruling feature
of corrupt aspirants, whose only policy is rule or
ruin.
Resolred, That we will give our undivided and
earnest support to the National Democratic Nom-
necs, JOHN c. BIEC CkINRIDGE and JOSEPH LANE.
| Resotred, That our rallying cry be, g The Con
stitution and the Equality of the StatesD
! Re,oired. That the Democratic Party of Ncvatla
County, true now as ever, to the ancient principles
of the party, of opposition to all monopoies, do
! hereby instruct the Candidates for Senate and As

to use their influence and to cast their votes agains
the Parsons Bulkhead Bill if again presented, or
| any other scheme looking to Bulkhead Legislation
winch partakcs of the character of monopoly or
confcrs upon any Company, Association, Corpora
ton or Body, the control of such enterprises to
their private and especial benefit.
ResOtred, That Stephen 4. Douglas received his
pretended nomination from factious and broken
up Convention and in direct violation of the two
thirds rule which had been adopted for the GOV
! ernmcnt of that body, and which had never been
rescindcd, and by body which conld not count
even majority in their favor if each delegate had
