largest Convention every assembled IN this
Territory. All the Southern counties were
Represented Except Oneida) BY full delega-
tons. The Northern counties are so far re-
moved from the Capital that no person felt
like spending his time andmoney 3in>making
the trip. Letters received from Democrats
| in that section say that whatever nominations
| the Conventions might make would be cor.
daily acquiesced in by the Democracy of
the North.
The Convention assembled at the theatre
buildingsin Boise City, at II O'Clock lA. M.
and dispatched its business with unexpected
unanimity, being in session onlyaboat three
hours. The proceedings win be found in
full in another column. saLil5l21l :
The platform and resolutions, have the
ring Of the true metal. In readfrming the
doctrines of the Virginia and Kentucky res
olutions the Convention placed the party
squarely and unequivocaly upon the old
Democratic platform, as affirmed and re-
affirmed By every Democratic National Con-
vention for nearly seventy years.
En- sustaining the restoration policy of
President Johnson, the Convention truly rep
resented the sentiments of the. Democracy Of
Idaho. Holding an independent position,
unbiased by fear, favor, or affection, the De
mocraey of tais Territory have. condemned
whatever acts of the Executive they have
deemed wrong, and with equal emphasis they
announce their approval of that policy and
those acts which lhsy eonsiderin accordance
with the true interests of the whole country.
The infamous attempt of this Radical Con-.
gress to force negro suffrage upon this Ter
ritory in opposition to the we'll understood
opposition of twe-thirds of the people, and
the equally fragrant outrage sought to be
perpetrated by the Republican fanatics at
Washington in robbing the miners gof the
mines by sale or oppressive, taxation, are de,
nounced strong. truthful language, and
will meet with The hearty support of all ex-
ceptt the remnant Of the Radical Republican
element in this Territory. These are the
most direct issues which the people of Idah 0
have to contest in this campaign, and they are
plainly and emphaticaly stated.
