And whereas, every one of these funda-
mental principles of free government. and
u eiyil liberty, lDase been, ed still are, in
sOlently tramp upon by The excuses of
the dominant sectional party:
Ard where's, in the chaos and tumult
OF war, which sectional luminosity brought
upon the country, the nature and the orig
inal purpose of the general government
have been, and still are, grossly perverted
by SAID sectional party, we here solemnly
reassert, - our first official act, in the Ian
guae1 Of The kentucky resolution Of 1899
- drafted and defended by Mr.. Jefferson
himself, "That the several States compos-
ing the United States, are not united on
the principle Of unlimited submission to
thelf aeoenl 9ovcrn1nsnk but that by a
compact, under the style and title of a
Constitution for the United States, and Of
amendments thereto, they constitute gen
eral government, for special purposes
delegated to the government certain def |
mite powen, reserving, each State to it. |
self. the residuary mass Of right to self. |
government; and that whenever the gen
eral government assumes undelegated
power, its acts are unauthOritative, void,
and of no force; that 10 this co11pact
each State accedcd a. State, and is an
integral party, its co-States forming, - to
itself, the other party; that the govern
ment created by this compact was not made
the exclusive or final judge of the extent
Of the powers delegated to itself, since
that would have made its discretion, and
not the constitution, the measure of its
powers; but that, a. in all other cases of
Ampncg owsoNg powers katiMg no common
judge, each purity has an equal right to judge
for itsslf a. ssN Of intraction az Of tho mode
and MEASURE Of rtdress."
Whereas, the abolition leaders habitu- |
ally pervert every public exercise into
electioncering machinery, whereby to
blacken the reputation and insult the feel
ings Of democrats, therefore
Resolrsd, That in sclfdcfence this Dem
ocratic organisation, as such, will hold
special festivities and holiday exercises on |

States, and Jederson's Inaugural; and it is
moreover recommended to its individual
members to insist that their political mo-

exercises of oil churches. schools &C., |

%. That We request of newspaper edi.
tors in Iowa and adjoining States, the cour-
tcsy Of publication Of these proceedings |
and now, that war has ceased to exercise |
its terrors and mobbery over printing
offices, we hope to zee the Democratic cdi- |
tors OF Iowa take bold, manly, vigorous |

cratic principles, measures and men.
