ReSolged, That the Democracy Of the 7th

the resolutions adopted by the late Democrats

pledge to the nominee OF the Convention their.
undivided support
Resolved. That we return our sincere thanks
to the members Of the Committee appointed
by the Convention to demand Ol President
Lincoln the restoration Of Bfr. vallandigharn
while We. cordially approve their action in the
premises, we desire to express our apprseia-
ten Of their sense Of honor and duty as eyinc-
ed by their prompt and digni6ed rejection Of
the huunilisting terms offered by Mr Lincoln
to compromise the integrity, impugn The mo-
tives and question the patriotism 6f a MAORI
Ety Of the people of Ohio, and that we, in "a
turn, hufl back the reproachfll irnputAtion as
a apusiIlanimous attempt on this part Of the
President to manufacture political capital for
base, selfish party purposes, unworthy the
Representative Of a free people.
ReSotpsa, That it is with extreme NORTH
cation we are compelled to witness the vim
dietive prescription and persecution with
which the present administration pursue the
Democracy, as instanced 5y tho srress and
imprisonment Of Democrats without aconsa-
ton Of crime or charge of a violation OF law
by the perfidious discharge Of Lieutenant Ed
gerly, Of New Hampshire nom military ser
vice, simply for voting the Democratic ticket /;
the military interference at the polls in the
States Of Maryland, Missouri and Kentucky.
prohibiting the exercise Of theright Of suffrage
to those who vote for Democrats but more
recently made apparent by the refusal Of BIr.
Lincoln to delay the draft in the State Of New
York until the giaring frauds in the appor-
tionment which have been brought to his no
tice by Gov. Seymour could be corrected ;
although by the party arrangement the draft
as being executed would take from ssins Dem
oerattc Congressional Districts s3, ,f29 con-
scripts from vote Of only I5I,243. while
from nineteen RspaBliean Districts, with vote
Of 457, PSI, it would draw only 59, ,626 CEN
scripts and this refusal is. made BY an admin
istration upon whose shoulders rests the aw-
ful responsibility Of the late not in the city Of
New York, resulting in the loss Of hundreds
of lives by preeipitating the draft upon that
people without warning or even the official
knowledge Of the State authorities, the refusal
being based upon the excuse that time is too
tmporta,t. While in Ohio the draft is post
ponsd for the reason that the result Of thsap-
preaching State election is Of more inpor tsnce
than time -s1
Besolcsd, That resorting to the use Of bay
onets by the national administration to cor
troll the recent election in the State Of Ken
lucky is a direct denial to that people Of the
right of representation" right inestimable
to them and formidable to tyrants only"
ResOlred, That the arbitrary arrest Of our
fellow-citizen Clement L. yallandigham By
the military authority Of Abraham Lincoln in
a State where none but civil law was in force
and the action Of civil tribunals unobstructed,
should be a warning to the people against en-
trusting power to weak men, incapable Of
rising above party male7oleuce even ia the
hour Of their oountry's greatest danger, when
the blood Of men Of all political parties min
I gle in a common cause. His trial sham
mockery, from the admitted fact that he was
charged with the violation Of no law defined
I by the States Of his country; his being sub
iected to 5qnisEmen5, a penalty not recognized
by the laws Of this country for crime itself, is
styrannical exercise of despofic power which
can. find extenuation only in being attributed
to that condition of depravity Of the human
heart where magnaninity and generosity are
excluded by cowardioe.
I Rssolre5, That Samuel H. Bowlus, our
nominee for State Senator, is hereby request
ed to issue an address to the voters Of this
Senatorial District, discussing the position Of
the two parties upon the war that is now be-
ing prosecuted for the freedom Of the negro at
the expense of the lives and-Iiborties Of a race.

men who ordained it for the purpose Of secu-
ring the blessings of liberty to themselves and

vention bepublished in the Democratic papers
