The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, The Democratic party always has
been and now is a true Union party, boldly pro-
claiming its principles and objects without dis
guise, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we recognize the Democratic
party of this country as the party Of the Union,
and that it is now more than ever the duty of
Democrats and every other loyal citizen, 10 favor
the continuance of its organization, and to labor
for the triumph of its principles as a most essen
tial means for the defeat of the various sectional
schemes, calculated to prevent the restoration of
that glorious union and harmony of the whole
country which we witnessed when peace reigued
throughout our borders.
ResoLued, That we are in favor of the vigorous
prosecution of the war for the maintenance of the
constitutional supremacy of the General Govern
ment, and that We have been at all times in favor
of the suppression of fOrcible resistance TO any of
the requirements of the Constitution or statutes
of the United States in conformity thereto.
Resolced. That the experience of the past year
has furnished additional and undoubted proof
that call efforts of the Aboiitionists, and others,
made to induce Congress to interfere with ques-
tons OF domestic slavery. or to take ~incipient
steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead to
the most alarming and dangerous consequences"
and that we are opposed to the Presidents eman-
~cipation policy, to the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia, and TO all other "incipient
steps, in relation to that subject, believing, as
we do, that all such measures only tend To aid
and strengthen the infamous and wicked rebellion
against the Government, and to postpone the pc
riod of final reconciliation.
ResoIred, That while all the energies of the
people are needed for meeting the demands ne
cessary for the proper, just, and liberal support of
the brave and gallant men who have taken up
arms in defense of a government made by white
men and for white men and their posterity for
ever. we feel especially called upon TO enter our
solemn and decided protest against any a%ppropri-
alton of public-money for the purpose of freeing
slaves, or supporting them when freed. and
against the extravaganza and corruption tolerated
by the party in power.
Resoiued, That justice and sound policy require
the repeal of the Morrill, Tariff, and that in all
measures for raising revenue no branch of indus
try should be fostered to the detriment of an
other.
Resolved, That we are opposed to all secret po-
litical organizations. whether they pass under the
names of Know Nothings, Wide Awakes, Knights
Of the Golden Circle. Abolition Leagues, or un.
der any other name or description.
Resoioed, That we pledge our earnest, cordial,
and united support to the ticket this day nomiu
ated, and to the regular Democratic nominees for
State officers, knowing them to be the best Union
men.
Resolved. That we, as Democrats, pledge our
selves TO the support Of the Union on the basis
