East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1864-04-06
Resolutions Adopted by tho Ohio
Democratic State Convention.
EUSuTTIoyS t


ResoHred, That tho Democratic party
is now, as it ever has been, devoted to
tho constitution as transmitted to us
by the trainers of that instrument,
and expounded by Jefferson, Madison
and Jackson, and as construed in
the Virginia and Kentucky Rcsolu-
tons of 1898 and 1900, and as con-
strued in the report thereon in the
Virginia legislature, and that for the
maintenance of the Constitution and
the preservation Of the Union formed
uuder it, we here, as did the fathers
of the Republic, pledge our life, for
tune and sacred honor
Resolved, That we would hail with
delight any and every honorable effort
toward q restoration, Of the normal
condition of this Union, to wit, inter
nal peace and harmony, and fratornal
affection between the States composing
it, and we regret that tho measures OF
the present administration prevent
such a desirable result and NO arc,
therefore, uncompromisingly opposed
10 ito continuance in powor.
Rcsoired, That we are opposed to
the prosecution of the war for the sub
jugation Of States, or for the purpose
of diycsting them of their sovereignty,
or infringing or impairing their con
stitutional rights, and being satisfied
that its continued prosecution for such
objects will, in the end, prove the ut
ter destruction of our civil liberty, We,
therefore, demand the Immediate in
auguraiion of peacable means to o. :
tain an honorable settlement and the
restoration of the Union under the
Constitution.
Resoired, That the mob spirit now
abroad in our land is the natural and
inevitable result of the violation Of the
Constitution and the laws by the party
now In power, and we deem this n
proper occasion to renew to our people
the warnings of Washington against
lawlessness of government and people.
The tyranny of the present administra-
ton has sown the seeds from which
we are now reaping harvest of crime.
A SrGS.-The House OF Represent
atives, by vote of sixty to forty, re-
fused their Hall to the Radicals for
the delivery of lecture in it by
Thompson, after having granted it TO
almost everything of this stripe. Is
this sign Of better things For the
sake of the country we hope 50. How
Americans can meet and fete this an
cient British traduccr of our country,
who began early the vile business, is
beyond conception to us. Whoever
would see his first libols will find them
reported in the Manchester Times OF
August 2, 1884, in speech he made;
there, i'll which our country was vilely
abused. This cal,imniator gravely
told the people that a stakeholder,
having five hundred slaves, after cast
ing his own ballot, threw three hun
dred more ballots, and that female
slaves were publicly sold by weight,
and ridiculed and denounced ouI
country. Yet no was bargnined with
by Garrison, when he was in England,
to come over here and Join with him
in cursing our Union. These men are
now held up, forsooth, as the cmbodi-
mcnt of tho loyalty and patriotism
and craftsmanship Of the land /; the
Hall Of the House of Representa-
tives is placed at their disposal; the
President and Vice President attend
their rantings, and the great broad
common sense of this noble land has
not yet uttered its rebuke. Let us
hope that, after patriotic selection on
the Fourth of July of a worthy lead
er, it will gather up its mighty loins,
and inaugurate an administration that
will stand in no need of stopping Sc
low rs TO bid for the votes of the
early, continuous, parricidial enemies
of the American Union. 1t never
was timo for foreigners to make @
meddlo with our affairs let them
keep out of the ring now.--Bosto,s
Post.
