Resolutions Adopted by the
Ohio Democratic State Con.

At the recent State Democratic Oonven-
tisn held in Columbus, Ohio, the following
resolutions we're unanimously adopted
fst. Resolved, That the Democratic party
is now, as it has ever been, devoted to the
Constitution as transmitted to lis by the
trainers of that instrument and expounded
by Jefferson, Madison and Jackson and as
constructed in the Virginia and Kentucky
resolution of 20 aud 1893. and as construed
in the report thereon in the Virginia Legis-
lature, and that for the maintenance OF
that Constitution and the preservation OF
the Union founded under it, We here as did
the fathers of the Republic, pledge life,
fortune and sacred honor.
9. Resolced, That we would hail with de
light any and every honorable effort toward
a restoration Of the normal condition of this
Union, to wit: internal peace and harmony
and fraternal affection between the several
States comprising it; and We regret that
the measures of the present Administration
prevent such desirable results, and we are
therefore uncompromisingly opposed to Its
continuance inpower. 1854.
3 Resol0ed, That We are opposed TO the
prosecution of the war for the subjugation
of States, or for the purpose of depriving
them of their sovereignty, or impafrlng
their constitutional rights and being sati-
fed that its continued prosecution for such
objects will in tho end prove the utter dc
structon of civil liberty, We, therefore, de
maud the immediate Inauguration of peace

ment and the restoration Of the Uuion un
der the Constitution.
4. Resolved, That the mob spirit now
aboundng in our land is the natural and
inevitable result of the violations OF the
Constitution aud the laws By the party now
in power, and we deem this proper occa'
sion to renew to our people the warnings
of Washington against lawlessness in Gov
ernment and people. The tyranny OF the
present Administration has sowu the seeds
from which we are now reaping the harvest
of crime
