adopted AT Chicago.

Resolce1, That in the future, as in the
past, We will adhere with unswerviDg filel.
,ty 10 the Uuion under tho Constitution
u, the only solid foundation of our strength,
security, and happiness as a people, aud
as a framework of government equally con-
ducive to the welfare and prosperity of all
the States, both Northern and Southern.
%, That this Convention does explicit.
ly declare, as the sense of the Ameri eau
people, that, after four years of failure to
restore the Union by the experiment of
war, during which, under the pretense Of
a military necessity or war power higher
than the Constitution, the Constitution
itself has been disregarded in every part,
aud public liberty aud private right alike
roddcn down, and the material prosperity
of the country essentially impaired, JUS
,ice, humanity, liberty, aud the public
welfare, demand that Immediate efforts be
made for cessation of hOstilities, with a
view to au ultimate convention of all the
States, or other peaceabie means to the
eud tha, at the earliest practicable mo-
ment peace may be restored on the basis
of the Federal Uuiou of the States.
Sd, That the direct interference of the
military authority of the United States in
the recent elections held in Kentucky,
Mary land, Missouri and Delaware, was a
shameful violation of the Constitution,
aud the repetition of such acts IN the ap-
preaching election will be held as revolu-
tiouary, and resisted with all the means
aud power under our control.
4tn, That the aim aud object Of the
Democratic party is to preserve the FEEDER
al Union aud the rights of the States un-
impaired; aud they hereby declare that
they consider the Administrative usurpa-
iiou Of extraordinary and dangerous powers
no, granted by the Constitution, the sub
version Of the civil BY military law iu
States not in instruction, the arbitrary
military arrest, Imprisonment, trial aud
sentence of American citizsns in States
where civil law exists 10 full force, the
suppression of freedom of speech aud Of
the press, the denial of the right of asy-
lum, the open and avowed disregard of
State rights, the employment of unusual
test oa!bs, and the interference with and
denial of the right of the people to bear
arms, as calculated to prevent restoration
of the Union and the perpetuation of a
! government deriving its just powers from
the consent of the governed.
! 5tb, That the shameful disregard of
the Administration to its duty 10 respect
to our fellow citizens who now and long
have been prisoners of war in q suffering
condition, deserves the severest reproba-
ton, on the score alike of public interest
and common humanity.
. 9Th, That the sympathy of the Demo-
cratic party is heartily and earnestly ex-
tended to the soldiery of our army, who
, are aud have been in the field under the
flag of of our country, and, 10 the event
of our attaining power, they will receive
all the care aud protection, regard and
kindness, that the brave soldiers of the
Republic have SO nobly earned.

OUR COMMENTS ON THE ABOVE.


l. ain the past" your party started all
our RebeliOns Rebels nov claim, that,
"unaer the Constitution" they have THE
RIGHT to set up independence as they
please! SO that this resolution is only
an imperative expression of an abstract
opinion. Compare it with the Republican
Union plank, on the same point.
3 la the eyes of the NJ 'Ciellanites, it
is Of no account that our brave men have
won a hundred glorious vietories-have
recovered half the territory the Rebels
first held-that the Rebel harbors are all
closed, except Charleston and Whining
ton-and that Grant and Sherman seem
about to throttle the monster. We must
yield all these advantages-forego our
present chances-giVe the Rebels time to
gain men and means at home and abroad.
for what? To have a talk, at some un.
known future time, with Jeff. Davis g.
Co.. But Davis explicitly says with all
his leading meD) it will be useless to talk
except on a basis of ETERNAL DIsUNION
3. This means that Rebels in the
States named must be allowed to vote
freely, or the Democrats will create riots
and counter-rev olution.
T. Just that way talk Secessionists
everywhere. No true Union man is or
need be afraid of the exercise of the pow
ers usual to war times. But is it not
strange that these people find SO long an
array Of faults with the administration Of
Mr.. Lincoln, and have not one word to
say against the Davis dynasty?
5. Your sympatbizers in rebellion are
those who abuse our prisoners and hinder
their exchange. Sustain the Government
like honest men, and the war must eud.
6. The "soldiery" know how you denied
them the right to vote, when you could
they know how you denounce and hinder
the prosecution of the war-they know
how your Vsl!andigham, your Pendleton,
your Powell, and other leaders, refused to
