WHEBEAs, The political history Of the
Democratic party for the last few years has
been one OF dark dye, Que ominous in it's
character, and such a one as demands the
and constant attention Of every
freeman of America !; and, uhereas, the
party now known as the Democratic party
aas assumed false garb in that it STYLES it.
'ef Democratic, when their is no democl acy
n tit is but the wolf in Sleeps CLOTH.
ng, entirely destitute of the principles of
Democracy as taught by Jefferson and as were
owed and cherished and, whereas, the
of Franklin Pierce aud
lanes Buchanan have more than ever forced
lpon US the conviction that the admins; ra.
ion OF government should change hands
nd that instead of Democrat or slave-o-
rat fInctlonaries, one representing the
principles Of the Republican party should
ssume their place and IestOr-. peace and
tranquility and as much as possible red EN-
he country from the curse OF sham Democ
acy and, schersas, we believe the 80 called
American or Vuion party stands in, lis
wn light, and is too weak of itself 10
ccomplish anything-ther fore, .,.a..a-
Resoived, That we heartily endorse the
made and the platform adopted
y the late Republ can Convention at Chi
ago, and firmly believe that the nom naiions
here made We're the best that cpuld have
cen isade 10 secure the triumph of the Re.
nblican party in the ensuing cumpaign.
Resolved, That we as Republican, Club
ill use all lawful means for The triumph
Republican principles, and TO secure the
lection Of ABRAHAM LINCOLN and HANNI.
On motion, Resolutd, that the proceedings
this meeting be sent to the Wapelio Re.
