M. list. Resolye&, That in the present deplora-
= ble conditioned our country, the watchword
tbat sacald pass through the ranks Of the I'm
ion Democracy calling them together and con-
solidating them as unit in support of the Con-
stituton and the laws, is the patriotic senti-
meat Of that great and good man. Gen. An,
drew Jackson that 1.-THE Union must and Shall
be preserved . and the battle cry of that pure
statesman, Daniel v ebster that Liberty and
the Union, one and inseperable, now and orev-
~ err - u, 49,. l.7...s--s .-f.. .s -.
I'd. Thatahe clam Of a State, or any number
Of States, ofthe right to secede and relinquishI
at pleasure their obligations and allegiance to
the Union, has no warrant either in the letter
81 or spirit Of the Constitution; and whenever this
pretensiou has been advanced by the Secession
ist North or South, it has been resisted by The
trae aad loyal Democracy who have ever and
still do maintain that Secession is Revolution.
Sd. That in the present and perilous cond-
tion of our country, we hold it to be our duty
10 stand by the present Administrati n, and
aid it in all legitimate measures to preserve the
Union. enforce the laws, and maintain the con-
stitutioqal rights Of the people. r.fr
4th That the Democracy Of this county will
sustain no war; NOR countenance any peace tea
ding to the separation of these States, and that
they will regard any attempt to pervert the
present conflict into a war for the emancipation
az slaves throughout the Southern States, as f..
tai, ,Ss all hopes of the restoration OF the Union.
5th. That the hopes of the country depend
upon the unity and vigor oftbe Democratic par
~ ia this alarming crisis, and that therefore we
j hold those professed Democrats who from mo
,tiyes Of ambition or factousness are seeking to
divide and distract the party, as being treacher-
Gus to its principles. .-.
9Th. That we thank our brave volunteers for
the noble devotion and patriotic courage they
4 have shown in rallying to the defence of the
country in the hour Of peril. epE. ,#t
7th. That we are in avor OF strict economy.
in the administration Of our National and State
Governznents, and that eur county expenses
ID ought to be enrtailed. ~ 500 t-
a. Sth That we heartily endorse the Platform
and Ticket presented to the people Of Ohio BY

TO secure their election on the second uesday
or October next.
4 gg9th. That the Hoh. David Tod OF Ohio, by
his course tewasd the pror laboring men and
mechanic in endeavoring to have law passed
depriying them Of wages due when leaving their

strike for higher wages, and by the declaration
made III his letter OF acceptance OF the nomiIia-
tion rendered him by the late Columbus Con
iyention that he would "be willing to have this
GoyerHment taken under the protection of the
once called mother country or some other for-
eign power y forfeited all claims 10 the TTlnei
pies Of Democracy, and therefore should not
be considered longer member OF the Demo
CRITIC party.
srsIlth That we are in favor OF equal taxatton
