4. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE cLArroN co.
: IA DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. ?
TheIfol'owing are the resolutions adopted
ut tins convention, on the 7th inst, reported
by John T. Stoneman, Esq. Chairman of tho
committee on resolutions, and adopted by
reclamation. We omit tic proceeding for
want ct space, inserting the resolutions not
solely because the democratic papers of the
district are requested to publish, but because
they suit us in all respects:
RESOLVED, That we. as Democrats of CLAY.
ton County, are now as in times past una lter-
ably attached to the Constitution of the U. S.,
and the Union, andthat we will use our ut
most endeaTors to preserve the one and rc-
store the other. ......
RcsoIrcd, That we are in favor Of prose.
cutting the present war for the single purpose
of rindieating the sovereignty Of the Federal
Government, and for putting down opposition
to its laws, whether that opposition comes
from traitors at the North or at the South.
Reso'ced, That we are utterly opposed to
that revolutionary idea. that any military
necessity does or can exist that renders it
necessary for the President, or his Cabinet,
to violate the Constitution or laws Of the u. S.
or to violate the inalienable rights of indi-
viduals by immuring them in dungeons
without due process of law, without charges
being prcferred against them, or without
giving them right to be tried by Jury, and
that we look on these frequent violations Of
constitutional right by the President, lis
Cabinet and by Congress, as being fraught
with the greatest danger to civil lit erty.
Resolved, That we regard the doctrine of
Popular Sovereignty, by which ths States
and Territories possess the right to regulate
their domestic affairs, as the only true prin-
ciple of free government, aud that We regard
the disposition Of the present Republican
party to ignore the existence of state govern
ments and their avowed disposition Of aboI-
ishing their social institutions as an alarming
stride towards despstic power, snd that if
put in to execution will prove the overthrow
of our Republican form Of government.
Resolved, That VIC regard the corruptions
and frauds rcrpetrated on the people by cab
met officers, and others high in power, with
the tacit sanction Of the President, as un-
parallelled il history, and as undermining
the nation more eaectually than armed reb-
els in the field.
Resolved, That we do not be,ere the pres
ent Republican party ear, or WILL restore the
Union, and that as the Republican party is
founded on sectionalism, so it is promoting
and embitteriag sectional feeling rather
than seeking to heal the breach, and that It
is absolutely necessary the Democratic party
shall again assume the control of the gov
ernment for the purpose Of restoring the Up-
ion to its ancient integrity and preserving
the Constitution in its purity % i|

Sumner, the ncgrootic waxed very indis-
nant over Bright Summer, the negro site,
has said not q wlrd about Simmons Which
is the most honorable, to steal or to write
letter to jeff. Davis! E@ t#9 Hf
"No-PARrY."-The Albany Argus we'll
says that when the Republicans desire to
recruit their ranks at the polls, they raise
the cry of ;No Party" But after election,
the Hno party principle is forgotten, and, tho
order goes forth, "Put none but Republicans
on guard In the New York Post Office, n
bout one hundred and fifty Democrats
clerks have been recently removed to make
room for Republicans and among the num-
bcr, We are informed, is one who has had
his two sons in the army, from the battle Of
the right Of the Republicans to the Offices,
and never asked that Q Democratic official
should be retained. but, as an exchange sug-
gests, they should follow the advice given by
q clergyman to a member OF his flock, who
was accustomed to attend church regularly,
but was notorious for the use of profane Ian
guage, and should either "stop their swear.
ing or stop their praying"
