other officers, whose duty it is to keep the
peace and protect the citizens. will take care
that every voter shall have free ballot, in
the manner prescribed by the constitution ard
laws. 1t will be, their duty to see that no
military or other organized force shall be

intimidate citizens in attendance, against any
such interference they must exercise the full
force of law and call forth, if need be. the

New York, Nov. 3.-The Democratic
Convention yesterday unanimously adopted
the following:
WHEREAS, A crisis has arisen in the his
tory of the country threatening national life,
and persons under the name and prestags Of
the Democratic party are misled by delusion
of party leaders, or acting from reasonable
motives, are aiding the rebels, and as all true
Democrats are required by loyalty to the
Government which our fathers founded, to
express. by some authoritative emanation,
their devotion to the cause of their country.
Resolved, That we, as Democrats, will
sustain, as we accept with entire ananimity,
the gage of battle when forced upon US as
at Fort Sumpter, we will boldly carry it
through in spite of our reverses. until victory.
crowns our exertions and peace founded on
Union shall be restored.
Resolced. That, although in commence
ment, inexpcrience may have led to errors
and mistakes, we believe that the present is
being presented with commendable energy
and remarkable success. ri. ~
Resolred, We don't admit the war to have
been in any respect failure and point to the
fact OF greater portion of the rebsllious
States have been recovered and all but
few vessels Of tho rebel navy destroyed.
Resolred, 1t is neither policy nor compati-
bic with the dignity of Our Government to re-
quest cessation Of hostlities, nor offer terms
Of settlement until the rebels express desire,
which they have hitherto invariably and in
ths most insulting language disclaimed to re-
turn into the Union, but If such desire be
properly expressed, with guarantee Of god
faith the greatest liberty should be rendered
them.
Reso'red, That no Nation has ever been
able to endure such conflict - has disturbed
our country without financial pressure. We
