the Federal GoveinmeBt-the inevitable |
consequences OF which would be TO make |
that Government the most despo;ie, cor
rnpt and oppressive IN the world.
4. Resol,ssi, That the Democracy Of Ohio |
viii maintain and defend, as they have al |
ways heretofore done, rs essential TO the !
existence Of our Federal system OF govern !
ment, tho true doctrine OF STATE Rkghis-
not notification, not secesSlon-but the the
ory OF that system rs laid down in the Nlr-
cuia and Kentucky resolutions of lI9S, AZ
interpreted 10y their authors; the one By
Madison in his Report in lf99, and the 9th
er BY Jefferson in his solemn, official, lnau-
gural of 1861.
5. Resoiued, That, their ordinance of Sc
cession being void. the so-cailcd seeding
States are still in the Union as States, and
are, therefore entitled to all the reserved
rights of the States; and to their due rep
rcse ltation in Congress; and to o.e at fu-
ture elections nf President and Vice Presi-
dent; and al aitempt of the General Gov
ernnlent. or any department thereof, to de-
prive them OF these rights, would be an as
sault upon the rights OF every State, in
the Union, and an effort to overthrow the
Government ordained by the Constitution.
g. Res0lrcd, That to each State brlng
negroes, is an insidious attempt to over
throw popular institutions by bringing the
right to vote into disgrace. That the ne
groes are not competent to the exercise OF
that right, nor is it necessary to their safety
or D. o ecti III On the contrary, its exercise
by them, if attempted, would be traught
with terrible calanitics to both them and
the whites We are, therefore, unequivo-
cally opposed to Negro Suffrage.
s. ResOlred That the experience of 1900
years has demonstrated that negroes are
not equal to the white men; and all attempts
to place then on footing OF equality, po-
| litically and socially; with the whites, ever
have proved, and ever will prove failures
and all such attempts ever have proved
and eyer will prove, injurious to both ra-
ces.
O. Resolred, That this Government was
made BY white men, and so far we have the
power to preserve it, it shall continue to be
| Government of white men.
TO- ReSotrcd, That under the rule of Alb
olitionisn, and especially under the recent
military orders in Kentucky, thdemigratlon
of negroes into Ohio is a growing evil, and
in order that white labor should be protec-
ted against negro labor, and the people
against negro pauperlsni, 1t is the duty OF
the Legislature to discourage negro emlgra-
ton into our State.
IL. Resolyed, That the war having ceased
it is the duty of the Governments, State
and Federal, and Of every citizen, to strive
to heal the wounds inflicted by it; and to
bring about flatelnli feeling between the
people of the different sections OF the Re-
public.
l2. Resolced, That the valor and forti-
tude of our troops have never been surpas-
sed, and their patriotic devotion to their
country can never he obllterated from our
i memories.
Is. R,so!ctd That we regard national
debt as national curse, and i'll view OF our
immense debts, Federal and State, and Ut
the enormous expenditure of our Federal
and State Governments, we demand an ex-
erclse of the mcst rigid economy by both;
that all taxation by either shall be perfectly
fair and equitable; that public expenditure
shall be reduced to the lowest peace stand
ard consistent with the public safety; that
useless offices, civil and military, shall be
abolished. and unnecessary officers dispens
I cd with; and that the Tariff and Internal
Revenue laws shall be reduced to the exact
revenue point sufficient for the Government
economically and honestly administered.
IA. RcSolrel That we most explicitly con
denim the policy of the party in power ii
creating thousands of millions of Govern
menS stocks, and attempting to exon ratt
the holders thereof from all obligation tt
pay their just proportion of taxes for th'
: support Of the states in which they reside
and thereby creating an odious and privil
: eyed nioneyed aristocracy; and we declare i
to be the immediate duty Of Congress ant
Z the State Legislature to use all legal ant
/ Constitutional power they possess to subjec
money SO invested to Il burden OF taxation
equal to that imposed upon other .propert.
,, for Federal. State and municipal purposes
15 Resotced, That Federal taxes should
! as far as possible, be collected by the Coun
= ty Treasurers of the States-and the peopl
, be thereby relieved from the horde of Fed
eral tax gathcrers who are now eating on
their substance.
l6. Resolred, That the four dollar Mill
; tia Communication Tax is oppressive, ant
ought to be repealed.
II. Resoicetl, That freedom of speech, o
!, the press and OF elections, ha6eas corpus an
G trial by jury, are the birthright of all Amer
lean citizens, guaranteed by both tedert
and State Constitutions; that we will mair
tain and defend them as such i'll every e2
:, treniity; and that we denounce espcclall
n the arrest OF citizons by military authort
in States or places where the civil tribunal
are unnoestcd, and their execution, in
!, prisonment or trial by military commissions
e as palpable infractionS of the Constitution
n aud outrageous upon public liberty and pr
:, vatr right.
ii is. Resolred, That the continued susper
sion of the writ of hajeas corpus since tn
termination Of the war, and when all pre-
tense of necessity is, passcd-the denial {
e the right of t.ialby jury, and the trial
citizens not in the military service by mil
tary commissions-and the open intel ferenc
! with elections by military power, as in th
:. recent instances in Kentucky and Tennessee
l. are evolutionary violations Of the Cor
stitutlon threatening the very existence {
l. our most ancient and sacred rights; tha
!. they portend danger to the liberties of tn
country greater than has ever before mel
!, aced them, and which it is the duty of q
:, good citizens to meet with the most dete
mined opposition and most sleepless Wig
|. lance.
10. Resolred, That, while we will, res,
II lutely and persistently, condemn all intra
4 tions Of the Constitution, by whomsoevt
. committed, and while We regret that II
s. terms Of pacitication agreed to by Majt
e Gen. Sherman in April last, were not ,
once ratified by the Federal Executive, "
will, nevertheless, stand by President Johl
n son in all Constitutional efforts to immed
: ately restore to the States the exercise
their rights and powers within the Uniol
