county. at their Convention on the 18th inst,
adopted the following resolutions:
Resolced, BY the Democracy Of Fountain
county in Convention assembled:
/. That we are in favor of adhering to the
time honored principles and organization of the
Democratic party, for the purpose of restoring
the supremacy of the Constitution, the integrity
of the Union, now so sadly imperiled by sec
tional rule.
9 That we are now as we ever have been.
devotedly attached to the Constitution and Union.
and that we cannot consent to the overthrow OF
the one or the dissolution of the other, upon any
pretext, for any cause, or under any circum
stances whatever
B. That we, as part of the Democracy and
patriots desiring restoration of the Union, and
a settlement of the present unhappy difficulties
which now exist in our country, hold il TO be the
duty of the Federal Government to tender to the
insurgent States proposition of compromise and
peace, like that Of the Crittenden compromise,
or some other similar proposition, that viii re-
store harmony in our distracted country.
a. We have no sympathy with Northern Abo-
litionism, and that denounce the attempt now
being made by the Abolitionists to convert the
present unnatural civil war into war for the
emancipation of the slaves. believing that such
war will unite the slave holding States and drive
from US every vestige of aid and sympathy in
those States and make the border free States
the scenes of active warfare instead of the Dor
der slave States. And hereby approve the
ton of President Lincoln for his modification Of
the Abolition proclamation and removal from
command of General John O. Fremont. and also
denOunce UNNECESSARILY the recommendation Of
Secretary Cameron for the emancipation and arm
ing of the Southern slaves.
