Resolvea, By the Democracy of Archer
township in t'wnship meeting assembled,
that we are in favor of the "Unlon as it was,
and the Constitution as 1t is," and we here
declare, solemnly, our conviction that the
Constitution cannot be preserved, nor the
Union restored except through the success Of
the Democratic party
Resohved "That in this great national
emergency, all true Union men, banishins all
feeling of mere passion or resentment, will
recollect only their duty to their whole coun.
try; that this war; should not be "waged
upon our part in spirit Of oppression, nor
for any purpose OF conquest or subjugat ion,
nor lor the purpose of overthrowing or in
terfering with the rights or established insti-
tutions Of the State, but to defend and main
tain the supremacy OF the Constitution, and
to preserve the Union with all the dignity,
equality and rights Of the several States un-
impaired, and as coon as these objects are
accomplished the war ought to cease"
Resolved, That to maintain the Constitu,
| ton as it is and the Union as it was, demands
| Of every patriot the same sacrifices that our
revolutionary fathers made to establish them,
and to that end we pledge our lives, our for
tunes and our sacr ed honors for all constitu
tional and legal purposes; but we deny that
the Government has any legal power to ex-
tort taxes from the people for the purchase o
the liberties or the support of negroes, and
we profess against any usurpation.
| Resolved That the usurpations of the last
twelvk months clearly demonstrate the truth
of these Democratic doctrines OF strict
construction of the Constitution, strict economy
in the administration OF the Government
and strict accountability Of all public off
GERS, and that an immediate return to these
principles is the only salvation Of the coun.
try.
Reso1uea, That we invite the co operation
OF men Of all parties who are in favor of the
Union and Constitution as established and
explained by Washington, Jefferson, Mar
shall, and the other fathers OF the republic
an economical administration OF the Govern
ment, and strict accountability of all publ,
officers.
Resolved, That the ultra Aboltionists anc
emancipationists who seek to carry out thei
; unconstitutional designs by military law, ar
equally enemies to the Constitution with th
Secessionists Of the South, and botll seek t
carry out their REASONABLE designs by appeal
to military power, the one by open force, tn,
other by erecting military despotism on tn
ruins Of the Constitution.
Resoived, That this is country for whit
men, and that we are opposed to any furthe
immigration Of negroes into OHIO; and tha
we consider no man friend to the laborin
i white population who employs negroes !
preference to white men.

we're ordered TO be signed by the officers, an
published in the Cadiz Sentinel.
