Iof Cincinnati, for Judge of the Supreme
Court, and II. S. Levere, of Shelby county,
for Secretary Of State, and adopted resolu-
tions declaring that the Democracy will ad-
here to its organization and to its ancient
faith as enumerated in the we'll settled prin-
ciples of Thomas Jefferson but the one
great question of the day being the ilnmedi-
ate and unconditional restoration of all the
States to tho exercise of Ihei. rights within
the Federal Union under tie Constitution,
we will cordially aud actively support An
drew johnson, as President of the United
States, in ali necessary and proper meansto
carry out his policy as directed to that end,
and for the purpose above set forth. We
will cordially cooperate in public meetings,
Conventions, and at the polls, with all men,
without reference to past party positions,
who honestly, and by their acts as well as
by their professions, support the President
in his policy as now declared.
George II. PendletOn addressed the Con
vention, congratulating the Democracy on
having once more regained its legitimate
position in the hearts of the people. He
limited his endorsement of the President,
but regarded him rs the present salvation of
the country.
YaIlandigham spoke in the evening, say
ing, the support given by the Democracy
to Andrew johnson was the most honest ever
given by any party to a President. 1t was
an unselfiSh support, with no demand for
Office. The Democracy owed nothing 10 the
Republican party, aud did not intend the
Republican party shall owe it anything.
The battle would be fought out on this line.
He was Copperhead and gloried in it, and
would tell the Republicans that in five years
they would be making afhdavits to prove
that they were the real Copperheads and we
the pretenders but the Cupperheads did not
intend to be swallowed ty the President,
nor the President by the Copperheads. The
President was not going over to the Copper
heads, for they would neither ask nor take
offices at his hands. though they intended to
hold all the Offices after March 1869.

Thought it will not pass.

saws The trial of JET. Davis, under the

thinks it best to delay the trial.
