War Convention yesterday. the following pre-
amble and resolutions we're adopted unanimous
":
Whereas, \ crisis has arisen in the history OF
our country threatening by armed rebellion the
destruction of our national life. and persons IN
der the name aud prestige Of Democrats, whose
characters are miSled by decisions of party, or
acting from reasonable motives, are aiding the
rebellion and nuring the national prospects, all
true Democrats are required by their LOYALTY to
the government which our fathers in their wisdom
founded, aud by their labors aud sacrifices sus
tanned to express openly and by some general
authoritative enuncistion their devotion to the
cause of their country and their views Oh ques-
tons of policy involved BY its present condition
and to lay before the world the real principles of
the Democracy; il is therefore
Resolved, This: we as Democrats will sustain
the war as we accepted with entire unanimity the
gage of.6attle when forced upon us by the rebels
at Fort Sumter, and will no. shrink from the
consequent sufferings and prlvations, but scorn-
ing suggestions of craven submission, will boldly
carry it through in spite of error and reverse, till
victory shall crown our efforts, and peace found
ell upon Union be restored
Resolved, That although in the commence
ment our expenses may have led TO error ard
mistakes. We believe the war at the present time
markabe success, and should deprecate any
change in public affairs that might result in re
moving Sherman aud Sheridan, and from the
navy, Farragut Porter and Winslov
Resolved. That we do not admit the war, I'M
der these leaders to have been in any respect n
failure, and point 10 the fact the greater portion
OF the rebellOus States have been recovered, and
all but a few of the vessels of the rebel navy
have been destroyed, which proves that the graf.
itude Of the nation IS due to the noble soldiers
and sailors whose uncompromising patriotism
and inviEcible courage has brought us to the
verge OF final victory
Resolved, That il Is neither good policy nor
compatible With the dignity of or government.
TO reques. the cessation OF hostlities nor 10 offer
terms of settlement till the rebels have expressed
a desire, which they have hitherto invariably and
most insultingly dsclaimed, to return to the
Union; but il such desire be expressed with
guarantees OF good faith, that the greatest lber
ality. both towards their persons and property
should be extended, allowance being made for
the decisions and deceptions thar have been prac-
ticed upon them
Resolved, That while Ne admit occasional acts
OF weakness IN the Administration, se accept
the consequent duty Of supporting aud strength
enng il. without regard TO the party affiities OF
the incumbent: and we repudaie the doctrine OF
secession, and are in favor OF the most vigorous
measures for toe restoration Of the Union, with
it obligations unaltesed and t- integrity unim-
paired
Resolved. That believing the var ia defense
OF our laws aud liberty 20 be eminentlv Just. We
see no reason for suspending II I'LL its object shall
be accomplished, knowing that more delay will
strengthen the rebel, by enabling them TO enforce
their CONSUMPTION, ~ complete their iOgtlicatons,
arm their storehouses and replenish their armO-
- III - I'll.
bic warfare may be employed IN ~ aid
Resolved, That a. 20 nation has ever been
able to endure sar the approaching magnitude
of the conflict now raging our country without
financial pressure. We recognize ami submit 10
the necessity Of beng Convinced that the bound
less resources Of our Union viii be amply sutfi-
cient % meet all liabilities aud that the saliva
ton OF our country Nili be worth all II costs.
We therefore urge our fellow Democrats 10
sustain the government a. il exists. and TO sup
port. in The coming election. the candidates that
express these views.
