fundamental doctrines Of its founders, that

property, and the pursuit of happiness, aud
that slavery and caste are incompatible with
its enjoyment, and ought not to be suffered
to exist
The convention, true to its faith in the
common brotherhood of man and of gov
eminent by all the people for all the people,
adopted Il series of resolutions which the
committee submit for your consideration,
going in some sense to express the views
which they hold IN unison with those OF the
radical democracy OF the nation upon some
OF the main Issues TO be tried before the
people at the coming presidential election.
lhat they do not cover specially every
poiht OF the pofiticai 1alth OF the radical de-
moGracy OF the country or 40 not denhe
