The following are the resolutions of the
Democratic State Convention, passed be-
fore the adjournment:
Resolved, That the past history of the
democratic party is to be found in the
proudest records Of the country, and its
creed in the constitution, and that it is
ready to meet the great question Of the
future with the patriotism, fidelity to
principle and practical wisdom that have
| characterized its long and auspicious den.
tfication with the history of the nation
Resolved, That we congratulate the
people of this state and Of the nation upon
the termination of civil war, and the re>
turn Of peace, and especially that this
blessing is attained with a preserved
Union, an undivided country, and the
reasser,ion Of constitutional liberty
throughout the land.
Resolved, That as the first fruits of this
triumph the people demand the subordi
nation of military to civil rule, the resti
tuition of military to civil rule, the restitu.
ton Of the authority Of the courts ard the
recognition of the equality of the states !;
tina: we regard all efforts, either by pro-
longing military rule, or by denying the
right of representation to states in order
to compel them to adopt equality of ne
gro suffrage as an element of their consti-
tutions, as tending to delay and prevent
the pac!fication of the country, and TO
subvert the principles o: the government
and endanger the liberties Of the people.
Resolved, Tha, in the plan Of president
johnson for the speedy restoration Of the
states lately in rebellion to their old posi-
tlons in the Union, by commencing the
work OF reorganization at the point of
secession, and contining in those then re-
| cognized rs electors by the laws of the
respective states, leaving the question Of
suffrage where the constitution places it,
to the future action of the several states,
we recognize enlightened craftsmanship,
sound political theory and an old fashioned
time -honored regard for the relations and
rights of the states and the federal gov,
ernment as esta Llished by the constitution,
and that we pledge to the president in
this great work our cordial and energetic
SUPPORT.
Resolved, That while We stigmatize, as
alike false to national prosperity and the
rights Of labor, the doctrine tba, national
debt is a national blessing we recognize
the obligation by which the whole re-
sources of the country are pledged to the
payment Of the public debt, and we be
lieye the interests and honor Of the peo-
pie are involved in its faithful fullillment,
and that all constitutional means should
be taken to compel the whole property of
the country, real and personal, to share in
the burdens, believing that equality of
taxation is not only equity, but also the
soundest possible basis Of public credit.
Resolved, That the thanks and gratitude
of the people are due TO the soldiers and
sailors of the nation, and to their brave
commanders WHO have illustrated the
pages Of our history with deeds of valor
that elevate the fame Of the people, and
vindicate the character of our republican
government.
Resolved, That the position originally
taken by our government in reference to
the interference of European powers with
the people of this continent, called tie
Monroe Doctrine, is policy which has
preserved peace, and avoided foreign en-
tanglements, and cannot be abandoned
without dishonor to the U. S. as a power
among nations nor without danger to dem
ocratic institutions.
Resolved That the frank and generous
acceptance by the southern people of the
condition il which they have been left bv
the recent war; including the abandonment
of slavery, removes the main difficulties in
the way of the restoration of amicable feel
ing among the states, and that it should
be met on the par: of the federal govern
ment in spirit of Cancellation and kinds
ness.
Resolved, That, banishing all minor
party considerations, and acting i'll the
spirit Of an enlarged and generous patvio-
tism, we cordially support president
Johnson in the policy which he has
avowed, to enable the states lately in re
volt to put their governments in practical
operation, and in all such constitutional
measures as he may inaugurate, to harmo-
nize the country, and restore and cement
/ the union CT the states.
