The Democratic party has ever been, and
yet is, . law abiding party. Il asks nothing
but its rights under the Con2titut;on and the
laws. It resorts to 10 violation of either; 1t
countenances no violation of either. 1t has a
fvate liberty, and of property, contained in our
fundamental laws, and it will surrender not
one Of them 1t has the right to discuss puba
lie measures, and will discuss thena, q It has
the rig ht to propose and advocate that policy
which it deems best for the natien and it will
exercise that right: 1t has a right to have its
policy passed upon by the people ut reaccable
and untrammelled elections, and it will MAIN
tain that right, II found in a. pinolityait
Yields obedience to all lawful rule .oletile ma
jority; if it be the majority itselG it claims
that its lawful viii be,respccted. Whether in
a majority erm iporityy it obeys all laws that
are in force. Those that it dislikes,iit seeks
to overthrow, rot by, yiolencc, but By a legiti
mate repeal Those that il proposes, it seeks
to carry not by force but by legal enactment
nands, and has right to demand, that all 9th
ers shall, do. They owe, the same obedience
to the Constitution and the laws that Demo-
,rats owe. They have the same interest to
maintain free goyernme en-, ,tes protect liberty,
o be secure in their houses, persons and propst
,rty, that Democrats have, It is neither their
interest nor ours that, despotism or aanaichy |
hould prevail; and il they wish stosayert BOTH

In view Of the circumstances that have
rousht US together, ge hereby resolve;
!, g. ..e55REsoLUTIoNsas beG csaeti I'd
i :. That the will of5the people is the fouueE
alton of allnfree government. That to give, I
feetItosthis will, free thought, free speech
nd free press are absolutely Indispensable
Without FREQ ldisenssion,i there is no certainty
sound judgment; witheu. sound judg-l

ight of the people to discuss all, measures of
Heir government, and to approve or ,disap i
r6Te as to their best Judgment seems right
hat they haze like right to propose and ad
eeate;tlat policy which their a ant
est, and to argue and Veto against whatever
olicy seems to them to violate the Constitu
on, to impair their liberties, or to be detri-
Iental to their welfare.
g. That these and all other ri hts, guaran-
ed to them by their constitutions, are their
ghts in time of waras we'll as iuT time Of
eace; and of far more value and necessity sin /
ar Than in peace. For in peace liberty, Sc
lrity and property are seldom cndang gered;
war, they are ever in peril gla 9iif i''is
A. That we now say to all Y Ehom it may con
i'm, not by way of threat, but calmly and
.mly, that we will not surrender these rights,
,r submit to their forcible violatson We l'
i'll obey Tho laws ourselves, and al Others

ust obey them, iuaH15 5sag Eas aI77z77
5. That there is a manifest difference be-
7een the administration Of the Government
Id the Government itself. The Government
