1. ResoEUtd, That although we were call
ed together as Douglas Democratic, aud con.
tending us We do, and ever shall, that we
Nre the only true National Democracy, yet
the troubles of the times admonishius that
this is not the time nor the place to make
q senseleSs contest for an empty name ard
that the nominee of this convention shall
be known as the Union Democratic candi
Gdte, aud shat " will heartily unite with
and earnestly ask for the cooperation Of
nil true Union men in the District, to aid
US in the work we have undertaken.
2. That We will do all in our power to
maintain the Federal Union, not as il Is,
but as Il should be, believing that the Com
stitution, It rightly interpreted and its pro-
visions fearlessly carried out, will furnish
to- all ample protection, both for person

IsaS1, -, Al.
beers OF the cOnfederacy. But it, as is cOn.

further contemplated to the Southern
States Of the Union by the Federal Gov
ernment, we do not believe that secession
will furnish complete aud adequate REM
edy for the evils complained of but be-
lteve that it is the part of wisdom and
policy to fight aud suffer, If needs he, uns
der the Constitution and in the Union,
rather than to madIy tear asurder our
charter OF liberty aud demolish the fabric
under which We have grown so great, and
plunge blfndly into resolution whose
best result can bqt 5be tho establishment of
q principle in itself destructive of all lars,
eonsti ftioRs, qail stu9ions.

lsSia1ea to Ette eletal Govern n emit nnd
ara. "a. 70 obey NIL ats reasonable
lnandatesf we regret th1t a resort to-
arms should be deemed necessary, as NE
believe dspea6e policy could be pursued
Which w6Gid better accomplish the end

In favor OF an G1 rdlorem taxation upon
