! The committee on resolutions now came into

! Esq, submitted the following:
/ lst. Resolred, That the Republicans of Marshall
county, in Convention assembled, declare that they
will ever stand firmly by the Constitution and the
j Union, and insist upon the economical adminisra-
ton Of the Federal Government, AMI in such a
manner as to preserve harmony among the States,
and to every person therein, (undcr lawful resric-
tions,) life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
81. Resolred, That We arc utterly opposed to the
extension of slavery into the Territories now free;
and 10 the new, dangerous and odious doctrine of
the present Democratic party that the "Constitu-
ton of its force carries slavery into the Terri
tories, and protects il there despite all human pow
err" the same being based npon isolated decis
ion of divided and politically excited Supreme
Court in the bred Scott case, and contrary to FIVE
unanimous decisions Of former Supreme Courts.
and to the avowed policy of every Administration
down to the year 1913.
Sd. Resoiced, That the dogm,s Of the modern
Democratic party are at variance with the princi-
pies promulged by the founders Of the old Wing
and Democratic parties and sustained by those rar-
ties in their best days. that they tend directly to
the subversion of the dearest rights Of free and
independent people; and that the Democracy "a a
party for their abandonment of those principles
which tended to give peace, prosperity and perma-
nency TO the Union. and tor their corrupt and prof
lgate administration of State and National affairs
deserves the scvcrest cxecraton of every lover of
liberty and Union.
4th. Resolred, That VIC condemn all such TO-
RAYS and acts as that of John Browns at Harpcr's
Ferry, and all who interfere with slavery
where it exists in the States By local Law, together
with their counsellors. aidcrs and abettors, and
those who eitlierin or out of Congress, conspire,
aid or abct dissolution of the Union. in spirit
and in principle equally guilty of treason against
the government, and should and bright ought to
be punished rs traitors
5t Resolred, That we heartily endorse the Re-
publican policy Of giving to each actual settler a
free home upon the unappropriated public domain
of the General Government; and we hold the Dem
ocratic party responsible for the defeat of this wise
and benefcient measure in the last Congress
9th. Resolred, That We approve Of the firm ant
manly course of the Republican and other conser
vative members of Congress in the late excitin:
