RESOLUTIONS.
We, the delegated representatives of
the Democratic and conservative voters
of Ohio county, in convention ASSEM-
bled, believing that the history of the
nation and of our State during the past
few years demonstrates the necessity OF
the reorganization and perpetuation oil
the Democratic party, hereby resolve.
First-That the maintenance of the
principles promulgated in the Declara-
ton of Independence and embodied in
the Constitution of the United States,
are necessary to the preservation of our
republican institutions; That the MAIN
tennnce inyiolate of the rights of the
States, and especially the right TO
each State to order and control
ITS own domestic institutions according
10 ITS own Judgment exclusively, is es-
sential to that balance of power on
which the perfection and endurance of
our political fabric depends.
SecORd-That we favor the Immediate
restoration of civil law throughout all
the territory of the United States. and
that We Will cordially support ali con-
sutnuonal measures of President John
sons administration which may be de-
signed TO promote that end.
! 1hnd-Ihat we are emphnticalIy ON,
posed to the extension of the right of
suffrage TO the negro race, or any nor
hon of the same, either in this or any
other of the States composing the Fed
eral Union.
FomHh--That we are in favor of such
a system of taxation as will bear enuuI
ly upon all classes of citizens; and Tint
we are opposed to the exemption of any
species of property from the burdens
which should be borne by all.
fgM-Ihat we regard the amend
ment TO the constitution of this State
proposed at the recent session of the
West Nirginia Legislature as contrary
to good policy, detrimental to tile in
teresis of this State, and at variance
with the general scope and provisions
of the constitution itself.
iSiLN-That we regard the so-caIIe5
Test Oath LAW passed at the last Sos
sion of the Legislature of West Vir
ginin, ils unconstitutional and void. IL
IS "a dangerous innovation upon the
rights OF the people, an usurpatiou OIL
autnorlty which did not belong to the
Legislature, at variance with republic
can institutions, and is unjust and ~ |
rnnnical in its intent,
'ScUentt-Resolved that we hereby
pledge ourselves to yield n jealous and |
nearly support to the candidates nom |
mated by this Convention.
