The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1866-06-21
2 Resolved that the leaders Offhe renuh-


which the rich are not taxed, and the poor
bear all the burthen of the country. We are
opposed to it, especially the odious stamp du-
ty, and in favor of equal taxation, in proper
ton to actual wealth, including all govern
ment bonds, to be levied directly so that each
may know on whathe is taxed and how much
he pays for the support of the government.
4. RESOLVED, That the leaders of the re-
publican party are in favor of and have crea-
ted an army of office holders to levy and col
lect taxes, TO pay for which, large additional
tax is necessary. We are opposed to it, and
in favor of apportioning among the several
States the amount OF tax to be paid for the
support of the General Government, to be
collected as other taxes are, by the same Off
GERS, elected by the people.
5. RESOLVED that the leaders of the repub-
lican party are in favor of, and have succeed
ed until now, in excluding the southern States,
from the Union and from representation,
while they compel them to share in the bur
thens of government. We are opposed to it,
We hold that no State got out of the Union
by the late civil war, and they are now all
States in the Union, as such entitled to all the
constitutional rights and privileges of States
in the Union, and we are in favor of placing
all the States on an equality and protecting
them in a republican form of government of
their own making, not inconsistent with the
constitution otthe United States.
O. RESOLVED, that the republican party are
in favor OF, and have createda national bank
ing system and an rredeenable paper cur
rescy, by which gold and silver coin are ex-
cluded from use as money. We are opposed
to list as monopoly Y; 2d as an engine
for private and political corruption, and on
pression and are in favor of making every
corporation, well as person who issues pa
per,-fOr general circulatiop-promisc to pay
and redeem the same in money when required,
dollar for dollar.
T. RESOLVED, that the leaders Of the re-
publican party are in favor the Centraliza-
ton of power in the hands of few at the eX-
pense of the many, and of preserving all the
offices in their own hands, by any means
foul or fair-regardless of the will Ofthe ma
jOrity OF the people. We are opposed to it;
and are in favor of an equal distribution of
power, and strict preservation to each branch
OF The government, of all their several prerog-
atives, uninfringed by any other braGch
8. RESOLVED, that in trade, a cardinal
truth is, that the price ofany commodity must
be governed by thedemand and the supply
Weare are opposed 10 all legislation that ig-
nores this fact, AID all legislation by the re
publican leaders does ignore it. We are in
favor of legislation in regard to the business
relations ofmen, only SO far as is necessary to
protect the poor and weak from oppression,
leaving trade to be regulated by its own laws
and the intelligence, enterprise and industry
Of the people.
Q. RESOLVED, that as far as he has opposed
the traitOrous abolition leaders attempts
to usurp the Constitutional rights ofthc States,
Andrew Johnson deserves the thanks of the
American people, and in every effort made by
him in good faith, to resist usurpation, and
restore constitutional civil government and
order to the States he shall have the hearty
support of the democracy, and should have
that ofcvcry honest man.
10. RESOLVED, that the administration of
the government, both Stat and National, since
the accession of the republican party to pow
er, has been one continual succession of act
of usurpation and corruption in office, on the
part OF majority of its leaders, by which
debt near $1,000, 100000, has been dashed to
our shoulders, not one-thirl Of ilich sum was
ever used for the benefit OF the government.
That its legislation has been destructive OF
private rights and public good. and marks an
era which has no parallel for arrogance, inn
becility and infamous disregard OF law and
the obligations of an oath. Among its most
Infamous acts are the Civil Rights bill, the
Frecdmen's Bureau bill, the indemnity act,
the resolu on excluding southern States from
zion, and the attempt to usurp all
the rights belonging to the States, finally cul
i'll q declaration of intention to re
tain power in their own hands for thirty years
to come, by force if necessary, and regardless
of the will of the States or their people. To
all of which we are opposed; and we be
licye that their continuance in power vii. to-
tally destroy all hope of civil liberty. ana the
law of self preservation demands that they
shall be removed and their places filed with
capable and honest men.
H. RESOLVED, that we, the democracy o.
MARSHALL county, pledge our hearty and undi-
yid, d support of the candidates for office, both
State end county, and that We will use our
best endcavors to win and wear the name and
title Of the banner county ofthc State.
The resolutions were supported by an
able speech from Horace Corbin, Esq, and
on his motion they were unanimously
adopted. 4 motion was then made that
the delegates proceed to take test vote
for candidate for representative, but
owing to the lateness of the hour, and the
fact that a portion of the delegates had
left the house, the motion was withdrawn.

was then appointed to report names ct

tive conventions hereafter to be held, and
