opposed to the War.
The Democracy Of Connecticut, at their
late State Convention, appointed a Peace
Delegation to the Chicago Convention
They would have nominated that bold and
fearless Peace Democrat, Hon. Thomas ii.
Seymour, for Governor, ifhe had not de-
clined. Among the resolutions of the
Convention are the following:
"Resolved, That as the deliberate opin-
ion of this Convention, the party in power
does not intend to preserve the Constitu-
ton which we received from our fathers,
and is not conducting the present war for
that purpose, but for the purpose Of revo-
lutionizing the domestic institutions of the
Southern States, and of establishing anew
government of dcspotic power on the ruins
Of the old Union.
"Resolved, That the entire perversion
by the Abolition Republican party of the
object of the present war as declared by
Congress, "to defend and maintain the su-
premacy of the Constitution and preserve
the Union with al the dignity and rights
of the several States unimpaired," to a
pestilent Abolition crusade for the total
destruction Of all State equality is al in
famous waste of the nations blood and
treasure.
"Resolved, That the grand scheme of
the present Administration to Eli the coun-
try with national banking associations, sup
plant the banks Of the several States, to
~monopolizc the whole paper currency and
to draw the whole banking capital OF
the States and people under the supervision
and control of the Treasury Department,
and to concentrate the whole moneyed pow
CIR of the country in the hands of the Presi.
dent, is a bold and daring encroachment
on the well known and universally-ac-
knowledged rights of the States, more dan.
gcrous ever than that great enemy of lib
erty, a large standing army.
"Resolved, That the gross mismanagc
mcnt of the war and needless expenditure
of vast sums of money make the Admins
t%ration morally responsible for thousands
of lives usclessly sacrificed and the addi.
ton of hundreds of millions of dollars to
the burdens Of the people, and while it is
made the interest of the thousands of re
tainers which the Administration gather,
around it to continue the war and all the
present ruinous expenditure of public
money, no effort will be made by those il
power to bring this unhappy difficulty to
close, and we agree with a high Republi
can authority, that, should Mr.. Lincoln b,
reelected, not only viii ''the dignity an(
honor of the country suffer but "the wal
continue to anguish through his whole Ad
ministration, untilithc public debt shall be
come a burden too great to be borne"
The above Resolutions have the ring o
the true met al. We hopeto sees platform
equally sound adopted by the Democrat;
National Convention at Chi cago, and oul
own State Convention at Indianapolis
For such a platform our people would worl
with a will earnestly, perseveringly AM
with a good prospect, as we think Of sue
cess. With an expedicncy platform, and
temporizing candidates upon it, we are
sure of dcfcat-indeed We should have lit
tie choice between such. ana an out and GU
abolition affair. Milk is adapted to suck
lings; men require meat.
