The Committee on Resolutions reported
the following, in addition to the resolutions
adopted by the Convention which nominated
Breckenridge and Lane Mt Baltimore, which
were unanimously passed;
Rsoired That we hail heartily and sincere
ly the nominations of John c. Breckinrige, of
Kentucky and Joseph Lane, Of Oregon, for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the
United States, and hereby pledge them our
support
Rcsolced, That we hereby reaiiirm the dec
laration made by the Ohio Democratic State
Convention in 1857, in the language follow
ing: That while we look to no authority
but reason for our political opinions, we deem
1t proper to express deep qualification, at the
concurrence of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States in the doctrines with regard to the
constitutional powers and political rights of
the States aud Territories, which have been
maintained by the Democratic party, aud for
merly nyowed by it by three National Conyen-
tons
RcSolred, That our confidence in the wis
dom and into gritty of James Buchanan is una
bated, and that we hereby endorse without
qualification the foreign and financial policy
OF his Administration, and that we also en-
dorse its domestic policy in full, except in
retention in Office of men who wage an open
and undsguised war upon the President and
all who support his Administration.
Resotced, That the people Of Ohio, united as
they are, with her sister States, under one
common Constitution, and enjoying the bless
ings of the unity Of the States, created by one
common Government, with the people of the
btlttI btdtto III Alc mon, ulou tNti1 lliANl-
pie of common honesty, domity any good fe-
lowship, should cease their aggressons upon
the people and the institutions of the other
States Of the Union, and especially of the
slaveholding States And that all hostile and
unconstitutional laws, appearing upon the
statute books of Ohio, against the people Of
the slaveholding States Of the Union, should
be at once repealed; thus assuring our Sonth-
ern felow-citizens that we are their friends.
No State Ticket was nominated, which we
regard as evidence that a majority Of the del
egates intend supporting the Democratic State
ticket already nominated This is right As
we have stated heretofore, if there ever was a
ticket nominated which was entitled to the
unanimous support of the Democracy of
Ohio the one nominated by the Democratic
State Convention on the lth July last, is such
ticket Now we trust that all the friends
of Mr.. BREcKNRDGF in this State, will uni
tedly 90 to work, and energetcally labor to
wrest the control of the State government
from the hands of the Republicans. 1t can
be done with the proper effort
