Legislatures to defeat the faithful execution
OF the Fugitive Slave law are hostile In
character, subversive Of the Constitution and
revolutionary in their effect.
Resolved, That the Democracy of fha

duty OF this Government to protect the ma.
turalized citizen in all his rights, whether AZ
home or In foreign lands, to the same extent
as lts native born citizens.
WHEREAS, One OF the greatest necessi.

every means in their power to secure the
passage Of some bill, to the extent of their
Constitutional authority, by Congress, for
the construction Of Pacific Railroad from
the Mississippi river to the Pacific ocean, At
the earliest practicable moment.
The second resolution has the effect-and
such was its express and avowed design-to
set aside the long cherished doctrine of Non.
INTERFERENCE and set up that Of interference
BY Congress with slavery in the Territories
The Convention of the secedsrs has aban'
doned the principle which embodies "the
only sound and safe solution of the slavery
question, upon which the great national idea
of the whole country can repose in its de.
termined conservatism Of the Union" Tho
bolt is not only from the organization but
from the principles of the Democratic party.

The nomination Of Douglas is hailed by
the people everywhere with the greatest
enthusiasm. Ratification meetings have
been held at Columbus, Cincinnati, Mans.
field, Wooster, Akron and other places 10
this State, at which the feeling was intense.
The people are perfectly "wild," and conf.
dent that Douglas will be the next Presi.
dent. The Statesman says: "From oil parts
OF the country, the great North West, New
York, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Missouri,
Virginia. Maryland, New England, in fact
from every section Of the country from
which our exchanges have been received,
the same tone and temper, the same enthu-
siasm and joy, the same determined resolve
and faith in the result, are borne to us in the
most glowing and inspiring language. The
Convention gave to the people, the man who
was their hope and expectation, and the
nomination being nude, the stern, honest,
patriotic voters of the land will take care TO
ratify it at the polls in November next. In
oil parts of the country good and patriotic
men who never acted with the Democracy
before, are joining our standard, resolved
with US to do battle for the preservation of
the Constitution and the Union"

trust that this condition OF things may new
or exist, but il It should, know OF no way
by which the Union can be saved. Hence
the doctrine Of Congressional intervention,
as advocated by the new born sectional par
ty is fraught with peril to the country.
The question is now distinctly presented to
the people, whether they will adhere to the
doctrine of non-interVention, or whether
they will abandon it. whether they re open
the slavery agitation by requiring Congress
to take jurisdiction over it, or whether they
will give repose to the public mind and Sc
curity to the Union by leaving it where the
Compromise leaves ito the free action of
the people of the Territories, under the
Constitution Of the United States. The issue
is fairly made up. 1t is Intervention or

the Union in thousand perils to rescue our
country from impending calamities, its past

The Nomination of Douglas.

A lnbored attempt is made by the Boilers
and the Republicans to prove that the nomi.
nation of Judge Douglas was not fairly made
according to the usages Of the Democratic
party in former Democratic National Con.
Ventons but the facts are all against them,
aud all such statements are basely and wick.
edIy false. There was in the Convention
at the time Of the nomination four hundred
and taoenty fve delegates, casting t,oo hundred
and taoslve and a huff votes, and the resolu.
ton declaring him the nominee of the party
according to its usages, was passed anani.
mously, there being not one dissenting vote
upon it. These 425 Delegates were from
all portions of the Republic, except from
the States Of South Carolina, Mississippi,
Texas, Florida, Oregon and California;
There was labored effort for three full days
by the Disunionists, the Senate Junto and
their aders and abettors in their infamous
work, to SO dsintegrate the Democratic Ma.
tional Convention, as to reduce it to less
than two'thirds of the original body, but
that failed entirely, four hundred and twenty.

makes the assertion that Judge Douglas was

entire electoral college, states that which 10
not true. He was as fairly nominated 40
any former Democratic candidate, and is
therefore entitled to the support of every
honest and faithful Democrat in the land.

The above shows how undistingu ished Mr..
Lincoln is, and how feeble are his personal
claims for the Presidency. So obscure is
his record, so little is he known, that his po.
litical friends cannot spell his name correctly,
and letter has to appear from him to settle
that question. Imagine Henry Clay, Dan.
lei Webster or Stephen A. Douglas writing
to inform the people how their names were
spelled! If Mr.. Lincoln is great man, he
has concealed the fact in the most wonder.
full manner. He has hid his light under
half bushel.

with face upon which dignity and sweetness
are blended, and an air OF cultivation and re-

over our republican court. If one wer. per.
