Resolred That the aggressive, fanatical
and incendary spirit recently evinced by
the nbolitionists, wantonly and by force to
interfere with the institution of slavery, are
alarming evidences of fanaticism, nuiifca-
tion and treason, and should be so regarded
and treated by every true lover of his
country.
Resolred, That the terms AJoliliOnist,
Free Soiier and Republican, when applied
TO parties of the present day, are synOny-
nous, all alike tending towards that irre-
pressible conflict" as taught by Seward,
initiated by John Brown, and proclaimed
by all the subaterns in the abolition party.
Mr.. BURBANK introduced the following
resolutions which were adopted by the con
vention:
Resolred, That we adhere to the princi-
pies Of the democratic party, as enunciated
in the Cincinnati platform Of 1856.
Res0leed, That we have confidence in the
patriotism, ability and integrity Of the ad-
minstra,ion, and national democracy, to
preserve the constitution and union of the
States.
Resoired, That we have confidence and
hope in the conservative democracy of the
Union, and of the 18th of June Baltimore
Convention, that they will be able to nomi-
nate and elect a national democrat to the
Presidency
Rcsolred That majority vote should
nominate, and that the same should be
adopted as the governing rule for nomina-
ting in our presidential conventions; and
tharthe twothird rule is wrong, too often
resulting in the subversion of the popular
will
Resolrsd, That we indorse the course,
and highly appreciate the labors Of our
delegate in Congress, Hon. ]. l. STEVENS,
especially his able defence of our just claims
on the general government, arising out Of
the expenses incurred in the defence of our
people during the Indian war Of 1866.
Resoired, That we are opposed to the
agitation Of any question, having for its
object the removal Of our Territorial Capt.
tol, and deem any removal thereof, unwise
and inexpedient.
Mr. RoE, also offered The following reso-
luton which was adopted:
Resolrrd, That we believe the extraor-
dinary assault recently made upon the
character Of the President by the so-called
"Coyode Committee" to be without honest
intention, and for the purpose of promoting
pnrtizaR interest on the eve Of Presiden-
tial election; and while we favor the strict
est economy in all the departments Of our
government, ami the most searching scruti-
ny into the conduct and honesty of all pub
lie officers, we feel it TO be the duty Of eve
ry American citizen, who wishes to uphold
and sustain national honor, to unite in de-
nouncing this wanton and contemplate at
tack made by Coyode and hisfellow-HeiP-
eTS
