n VNOi hihuc u part VI luc law OF lOlh
country, it will be because the white
man is too cowardly to resist less
than one third of the physical strength
of the country.
Resolped, That the Democracy Of
Clearfield county look with undis-
guised contempt upon any and all
efforts TO conciliate the beastly spirit
of the Radical party, whose aim is to
totally destroy the liberties OF the
people of this country and we un-
hositatingly declare that, according to
the Constitution, confscation would
be unadulterated robbery, and the
only remedy for those who, by force
and fraud, will seize from the rightful
owners, the lands which every sacred
obligation Of the law has guaranteed
TO them, is to shoot and poison every
such confiscating villain. If history
records any other remedy against
such crimes, wo have not read II. and
demand to know on what page it can
be found.
RosOlDed, That we view with alarm
the present enormous Indebtedness of
the country, which is daily increased
by system of Radical prodigality.
support of military monarchios, negro
bureaus, and the long list of paid Off
GERS of the government, for which
there is no precedent and less neces-
sity
Resolred, That the Democratic par
ty now, as heretofore, expresses itself
as the unchanged advocate of hard
money currency-which, by system
Of speculation and robbery, has been
superseded by the present undcter.
mined currency; but, while green.
backs arc the accepted medium of
circulation, we demand that while the
farmer is compelled TO receive in pay
for the products Of his toll, the me
ehanic and artisan for his work, and
tho laboring man for his hard labor
this deprecated currency, the cold,
cruel, and non-taxpaying bondholder
shall accept them as interest on the
gains he has reaped from the necessi.
ties Of the government.
Rcs0lUed, That the confession of
Thaddeus Stevens, the driver of the
Republican party, that the legislation
of Congress necessarily and absolutely
repudiated the Constitution, ''outside
of which all agreed they were acting"
adds TO the treason Of usurpation the
crime of perjury, and, unless signally
rebuked by the President and the
people, will result in anarchy and ruin.
Resoiced, That the suspension of
Edwin NJ. Stanton was demanded and
is endorsed by all men who abhor a
despot and detest spy, and the Pres
ident of the United States is justified
in his expulsion.
ReSolued, That we viii sustain and
heartily cooperate with the President
in bis patriotic efforts for the protec-
ton OF the Constitution, the mainte-
nance of the Union, and the prcserva.
tion Of liberties "inestimable to US and
formidable TO tyrants only"
ReSolUed, That the passage, by the
last Republican Legislature of Penn
sylvania, Of a law forcing neg1 oes
into railway cars, notwithstanding
the companies offered special cars
for their accommodation, is but the
prelude TO forced association with
white citizens at the ballot-box and
in the domestic circle; a political
and n social miscege-
nation which We utterly repudiate.
ReS0lred, That the most infamous
and dangerous heresy, and one fatal
to the purity of the judiciary, is the
assertion Of the late Republican Con-
"that the Supreme Court Of
the State should be in harmony with
the political opinions of the majority .
Of the people"
Resotued, That repudiating a repu-
diator, and ignoring New England /
influence in Pennsylvania. we ask for
Hon. George Sharswood tho vote of
every man who prefers financial honor,
a conscientious lawyer to a political I
Judge, a Pennsylvania jurist TO Con- .
necticut Radical.
RcS0lDed, That in Hon. William A. |
the people of this Senatorial
district have an able, fearless, and
thoroughly honest representative; one
whom the State delights to honor,
md whom the Democracy of the SEN
lte of Pennsylvania proudly acknowl-
edge as their leader, and the opposi-
ion bound TO respect for his superior
talents and strict integrity.
RcsolDed, That in T. J. Mccullough,
)ur candidate for Assembly, we have
. young man Of talents, strict moral
and we feel confident from
ais past record as a Democrat he will
rot defeat the confidence Of the peo-
Die in the future.
Rcs0lCod, That the gentlemen CON-
posing the ticket for the several coun-
y offices are worthy and competent
men, and entitled to our undivided
Reselred, That the great Demo
ratio party, in the future as in the
'sst, viii adhere to the great motto
# the banner Of the State, and will
.ver remain the advocate Of the Nir-
ne, Liberty, and Independence Of her
itizens.
After the adoption Of the resolu-
ions a motion was made and adopted
