The Democracy OF Gibson county 10 Conyen-
ton assembled, recognizing the capacity of
the people for self government and their right TO
oe informed of the political principles upon which
il is proposed TO administer the affairs of the
Nation, proclaim the following as their doctrine
upon which they ask the suffrages of the peo-
| pie:
Resolved. That the heavy immigration OF ne
groes into Indiana is growing evil, and in oder
that white labor should be protected against
negro labor, and the people against negro pau
| persm. we demand the rigid enforcement of that
| provision of the Constitution OF Indiana which
prohibits the immigration of negroes into our
| State, and the enactment Of more stringent laws
| upon the subject
= That believing with the lamonied Douglas
that "ths is white Government made by white
men for the benefit of white men and their pos
| terity forever, We are unalterably opposed to
the efforts now being made by the radical leaders
OF the Republican party TO confer the right of
| suffrage upon the negroes, aud will resist
with every legal means in our power the abhor-
rent and degraded doctrine OF negro equality
D. That wealth can only be created by the toll
of the laboring classes, and. therefore, it is most
unjust and unfair to exempt the wealthy holders
OF United States bonds from paying their share
| OF the taxation of the country, while the labor
ing classes are doublely taxed-taxed first TO pay
their own share, and taxed again to pay the
share OF the capitalists thus unjustly exempted.
| 4. That the Democratic party most emphati-
cally declare that the honor and interest OF the
nation must be preserved at all hazards and TO
| this end, the just obligations OF the Government
to our soldiers, their widows aud orphans, aud to
Its creditors, must be paid to the last cent
! D. That we approve the course of President
johnson in regard to admitting negroes to the
right OF suffrage, and that in mantaing this po-
sition against the mad attacks of abolitionism,
and in all his constitutional efforts to restore the
Republic to its former grandeur and unity, he
| will receive the cheerful aud earnest support Of
the Democratic party.
g. That our soldiers who have imperiled their
lives to uphold the Constitution and the Union
of these States deserve aud will receive the last
| congratulate the country upon the grand success
| which has attended their patriotic efforts; that
| without desiring to institute invidaous compari-
| sons, we may be pardoned the expression of
admiration of the noble bearing and gallant
conduct OF our own Indiana boys, and the Yves
| tern army, which under the lead of the intrepid
and skilful Sherman, cleaved its way to victory
through the very heart of the so-called Southern
| Confederacy.
!. That we are in favor of such legislat on as
will equalize the Government Bounty among ali
the soldiers of the Republic.
5. That the assassin alton of the late President
OF the United States an act of unmitgated
| barbarsm, alike destructive to civil Government
and abhorrent to the sentiment OF christian men
throughout the world and receives the most de
cided Reproduction of this Conv sntion.
