CANrBSLL COUNTY.
A meeting was held in this county, also, Monday
week last and adopted, among others, the following
resOutlo-s
Rssorsd That we earnestly cordially and unreserv.
edly rafy the nomination OF Stephen A Douglas and
Hersche V. johnson, for the Presidency and Vice Pres
deacy Of The United States, aud do hereby pledge our
selves TO the promotion OF their election by all honorable
MANS
?. Thai the body by which they were nominated was
the regular and only National Convention of the Demo-
cratic party Of the United States notwithstanding the
uausthable secession from it of portion Of its mem
bes aud that its action having been IN clear accordance
with the established usages OF the party is in honor OBJ
lgltory upon the party throughout the country.
/ 8. That the body which nominated AeSSrs. Breckin-
ridge aud Lane for the Presidency and Vice Presidency
was not convention Of the Democratic party that,
the contrary composed Of persons acting in
direct and open hostility to that party, represented in
It's National Convention IL is, therefore, self evident
that jus; claim to Democratic support be based
upon the nomin alton Of body assuming such position
|
10 be rejected by all good Democrats just as they would
Jet nomination made by any other opponents Of
the Democracy
e. That in our deliberate iudgemcn the scheme ofnduc-
Ing the secession OF delegates from the National Demo
rcatc Conventions and then with the help of Seceders,
Nominating candidates in opposition to the Democracy
emluated from those who are avowedly uniriendy to
the Union, aud desire its dissolution, knowing that the
National Democracy while united presented insuper-
able barrier TO the of their unhalOwed schemes
aud it is therefore, the duty Of all Democrats and all
other patriotic citizens to meet and combat fearessly
this latest and nsdiOus manifestations Of that spirit
Of disunon which Andrew Jackson met and vanquished,
aad TO which the Democratic party stands in position
OF eternal hostility.
3. That our solemn conviction is, that our beloved
Union is in danger by the efforts Of fanatics in both
sections TO carry out their respective extreme views,
and believe that the only available protection to the
country in the present crisis is for all patriots to rally
the standard Of that brave aud venerable party which
has for years. in its authoritative declarations fear
essly and faithfully proclaimed Intervention by Con-
gress with slavery in State and Territory, in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
