WHEREAS, The American Constitution

Tiers, in order to form more perfec
Union, establish justice, ensure domesti
tranquility, provide for the common defence
promote the general welfare, and secur
the blessings of liberty to posterity; there
fore,
lst. ReSo1ved, That the only object 0
the Democratic party is the restoration 0
the Union as it was, the preservation of tn
J Constitution as IL 2S.
I'd. ReSolUed, That to the end that tn
Union be restored. and the Constitution
and laws enforced throughout its Who'll
extent, we pledge our hearty and unquali
fed support to the Federal Government i
the energetic prosecution of the existin
war.
Sd. ReSolved, That the true and onl
object Of the war is to restore the Unio
and enforce the laws. Such purpos
alone is worthy the awful sacrifice which i
costs us of life and of treasure; with sue
purpose ulone can we hope for success
And those who from sectional feeling o
party or private motives would give an
other direction to the efforts of our armic
are unjust and unworthy to be entruste
with power, and would cause all our exer
tions, extraordinary and unparalleled q
they are, to prove futile in the end.

pervades some of the departments of til
Federal Government, and that return t
rigid economy and accountability is indi'
pcnsiblc to arrest the systematic plundo
of the public treasury by favored partizan
and that in view of the recent startling dc
velopmcnts of frauds and corruptions ;
the Federal metropolis and throug ghout I'll
country that we hold an entire change
administration to be impcratively dcmal
ded
5th Resolced, That the party fanatcisl
or crime, whichever it may be called, rha
seeks to turn the slaves of Southern StatC
loose to overrun the North and enter int
competition with the laboring masses, thr
degrading and insulting their manhood,
placing them on an equality with negro,
in their occupation, is insulting to our rae
and merits our most emphatic and unqal
fed condemnation.
9th. ReSolyed, That we denounce N0rt
ey1s AbOhtiOnaSm and Southern Secessic
