l. Thas We stEiasly Rahars to, the tisne
hSo'nored lS' prtnsiples Of the Democratic
party believing that in them remains
'he only means Of parpeEuating the re-
pubic, as haEIsd down 20 Us by Wash
lpgton, detiseson, Madison, jackson and
others.
Z. That We are opposed TO the present
unn ecessasy war, and in favor of an ami.
cable and speedy adjustment OF the sans.
Shieh We sincerely believe ean bo had by
SStyiag equal rights 70 alls and that The
Union can be restored by compromise !;

D, Thai the assumed right Of the Pres
ilsht 10 incareeEase citizens without a
clase, and to keep them in bis hastiles
without a legal trial is a violation of ali
IAN, and justice, and should, as it win.
Eaeatye tbs condemnation Of all law abid

9. Thai We will erer oppose the pet
scheme OF Abraham Lincoln in taxing
toe people of the loyal States to purchase
kah Dsgroes Of the border slave, States.
and that we are unespditioaally opposed
to the coming among US of ssfree Ameri.
eaus of African descent" and will op-
pase shelr introduction.
agaI. THAI we are decidedly opposed 10 the
present high tanf, as We believe il is
I t,sterlng one section Of the Union great
y to the disadvantage of the other and
Ss western citizens we have much cause
to demand the repeal of said tariff.
5. That we highly favor aud recon-
n pd to the people the calling of a peace
GonFention to be held in Louisville, Ky.,
Or some other place in May, 1853, for
ths pnrpose of restoring If possible the
ualon as it was.
D. That ws aR citizens Of the West
cannot consent to a final separation of
the South aud North West, thus depriv-
ing as Of tha free navigation Of the Missis-
sippi and forcing our produce to the east
which imposes barthen upon Us which
VI cannot endure.
10. That we condemn the resolutions
offered ny Mr. Conway of Kansas as
reasonable and We look upon such men
to be as great enemies to the natioa as
J II Davis and his associates; and espe-
eialIy do we condemn the following por-
tlan of his 4th resolution, viE: FRssosu-
ed, That the restoration Of the Union as
It was would be greater calamity than
the rebellion itself.''
IL. That in our opinion the Crittenden
embodied substantially the
guarantees called for in the case, and
ought TO have been adopted by Congress;
that their rejection by the Abolition
Republican Disunionists was the cause
of the war and they are responsible for
all the blood ahsd and deEastion caused
By 1t.
IL. That the suspension of the wait
OF habeas corpus, where civil law il in
full force and the arbitrary arrests that
have been made contrary 30 the laws and
IN violation to the Constitution uf the
United States are assumptions of exeou-
tive power such are not 10 be found ia
the history of any other nation on earth.
lS. That any man that sympashises
with the present Administration and up
bold it in its vile assumptions Of power
is not worthy of our confidence ii auy
position of trust.
