pressly delegated To il by the Constitution. and
all powers not so delegated nor prohibited BY the

Whereas, The Constitution distinctly enume
rates the powers conferred upon the General

power on the General Government to wage war
| upon a sovereign State. but must be confined TO
the rebelliOus members thereof" and
Whereas. lt Is a self evident proposition that
f the several States known a the seeded States
either 60 or do not form part of the Federal
/ Union; that. il they do, the present war waged
as 1t is by the party III power against them as
sovereign States for the avOwe ed purpose OF over
throwing State Institutions. OF celebrating State
lines. and OF destroying The constitutional rights
and immunites OF the people thereof without
distinction, i illegal, unconstitutional and un
| jnst and daring and high handed usurpation of
powers. dangerous alike To the institutions of the
! country and subs ersive of the constitution and
laws oil the land; that, il they DO not, the war is
! simply of conquest and subugaton,
/ ried on for the purpose o. enrching the pamper-
ed mnons of a corrupt and usurping administra-
ton with the spOls Ol conquered provinces, and
for an excuse to keep ~ the present tremendous
military organic tiOn, which is being used by the
! present administration for the purpose of control
ling by the bayOnet the elections against the
| known wishes of the people, and to pave the
way for the establishment OF rigid military deS
| pOtlsIn, which shall seat the present dominant
party permanently in power, and in either
the is equally destructive of the Union, the
constitution, aud the liberties of the people;
! therefore we, the Democracy of Marshall cOun-
ty. in convention assembled, do hereby resolve:
l. That with as Democrats. the Constitution
is the creed of our political faith. the text book
of our civic institutions, the tombstone by which
we try the virtue and patriotism of those we
trust, and that we regard due observance of its
provisions the road which alone can lead Us TO
national peace and safety
. That the war itself i a great evil and the
unheard OF 5arbarities 50 often Justly complained
of on both sides are but the legitimate results of
such conflict. and would not be materially les
sened by mere change of administration so
long as the war itself continues; that its only re
su!, if longer continued, must of necessity be
national bankruptcy the multiplication of wild
Ows and orphans. the moral degradation OF soci-
ETY., the destruction of our own civil and reli-
gious liberties. and the formation of military
despotsm that will crush beneath the iron neel Of
a shoddy arristocracy the last vestge OF the
! rights and liberties of the great body oil the
/ American people.
3 In consideration OF these painful truths We
are firmly opposed TO the further continuance of
this unhOv and unnatural strife, and we will use
all legal and honorable means within our power
TO restore peace 70 our distracted country; and
to this end we hereby declare that our undivided
efforts shall be given to secure the nomination
and election of such candidates will best sub
serve this our deliberate determination.
+ 1 That we conceive it to be the duty OF the
Inn
tial campaign TO plant itself -mly upon prnci-
pie. to call things by their right names, and
( throwing banner to the breeze, with the
heaven Inscribed motto of peace Inscribed upon
/ its folds, and, with firm reliance upon the jus
tce of our cOmmon cause, leave the results 10
the patriotism of people who. having endured
the CALLING chains for three years OF abolition
msrule, having seen their fathers, sons and
brothers dragged from their once peaceful homes
by hearteSs meTcenarieS 10 be butchered IN this
great abolition carnival of death, and having
learned that two millions OF human beings and
four billions of their hardearned money have
been wasted in vain attempt TO satiate the vora

first time truly realize the inestimable blessings
Of national unity and peace
That we recognize in the person OF the Hon.
