MIR. Olds, of Ohio, moved that the Com
mittee on Resolutions be instructed to re-
! port what action, if any, is necessary for
| this Convention to take in regard to the
military order of General Heintzleman,
! prohibiting the people of the Northwest
from purchasing arms and ammunition.
Referred.
The following resolutions were then Of
fered and referred to the Committee on
Resolutions:
By Governor Hunt, of New York, That
in the future, as in the past, we will ad-
here with unswerving fidelity to the Union
and the Constitution, and insist on main
tanning our national unity as the only solid
foundation of our strength, security and
happiness as people, and as framework
OF Government equally conducive to the
welfalc and prosperity of all the
States, both Northern and Southern. !
And with q view to terminate the pending |
conflict and restore the blessings of peace, |
We are in favor of an armistice and of |
earnest honorable efforts to adjust terms |
of settlement and Union on the basis of |
the Constitution ofthe United States. And |
for the final solution OF all differences we
would recommend a Convention of States
to review the Constitution and adopt such |
and notifications as may
seem necessary, more fully to ensure to |
each State the enjoyment of all its rights
and the undisturbed CONTROL of its domes-
tic concerns according to the original intent
and purpose of the Federal compact.
By Mr. Long of Ohio, That commit
tee, composed of one member from
each state represented in this convention,
to be selected by the respective delegations
thereof, be'appointed for the purpose of
proceeding forthwith to the city of Wash
ins ton, on behalf of this convention and
the people, to ask Mr.. Lincoln to suspend
the operations of the pending draft for 500,
600 more men until the people shall have
an opportunity, through the ballot box,
in free election, uninfuenced in any man
ner by military orders or military inter
ference, of deciding the question now fair
ly presented to them, of War or Peace, at
the approaching election in November
ana that said committee be and they are
hereby instructed to urge upon Mr.. Lin
coin, by whatever argument they can en-
ploy, to stay the flood of fraternal blood,
at least so far as the pending draft will
continue to augment it, until the people
the source of sll power-shsll have an op-
portunity of expressing their will for or
against the further prosecution Of the war
in the choice of candidates for the Presi-
dsncy.
By Mr.. Aldrich, of Pennsylvania, We
the representatives of the Democratic par
&c ho Aa1 on af IN |
National Convention assembled, for the
purpose of nominating candidates for the
high offices of President and Vice Presi-
dent, to be voted for at the coming cleo
tion, point with pride and satisfaction to
the past history of our common coun-
try, and her great and marvellous pros
perityunder a Democratic administration;
Therefore, in order to preserve the integ-
rity of our once happy Union and establish
Justice and domestic tranquility through
out our borders, promote the general well
fare and secure the return of the blessings |
of liberty vouchsafed to US by our fore
fathers, we here renew and declare our |
unalterable attachment to the Union, and |
that it must be preserved in its integrity, |
believing that desirable object can be OBJ
tanned ifsIwe profit by the wisdom of cur |
hthers We here adopt as our broad and |
sure platform, the constitution Of the |
United Statesin its length and breadth, and
pledge our candidates tomaintain, preserve
protect, and defend the same.
Resolved That we cannot view with in
difference the open reputation and viola
tion of the Monroe Doctrine, the establish
ment of an empire on the ruins of a neigh
boring Republic, and that we view with
greater alarm and distrust, the fearful
strides of the general Administration at our
National Capital towards despotism, as in
their repeated interferences with State
rights, with the liberty of speech and of
the Press, and the right of private prop
erty. Wherefore we call upon all true and
incorruptible patriots to lay aside their
partisan prejudices-to look our bleeding
eountrys troubles in the face calmly-to
consider the fearful waste of blood and
, treasure through the unwise acts and mis-
guided policy of the present National Ad-
ininistratian, and assist in changing our
rulers, that we may rescue our beloved
country and the liberties of the people from
certain ruin.
RosoLued, That we will all honorable
means known to civilized nations to bring
to a speedy termination the unhappy diff
! culties that disturb our country.
/ On motion the Convention adjourned
( until ten o'clock tomorrow.
