Resolred, That the Democracy of Ohio
adheres to the principles OF the party as
expounded by the fathers and approved by
experience; that in accordance with those
principles we declare the federal govern
ment is government of limited powers;
that it possesses no powers but such as are
expressly delegated to it in the constitution (;
that all other powers are reserved to the
states or people respectively; that strict
construction Of the constitution Is lndis-
pensa bic to the preservation Of the rights
of states and the people that the federal
government is unified to legislate for the
local concerns Of states; that the tendency
of federal administrati onis to usurp the re-
served rights Of states and the people; that
the freedom of speech and the press are es-
sentlal to TIE existence OF liberty; the con-
stitution is law for the rulers and the peo-
pie equally, in war and peace, and protects
all classes of men at all times; no doctrine
Is more pernlciOus IN It's consequences than
that any OF It's provisions can be suspended
during any exigencleS Of the right OF the
people to peaceful assemble and consult
upon public affairs, is inviolable; that mill
tary should be in due subsection to civil
power that while the majority have a
right to govern the minority have lndeien-
siDle rights and that a frequent recurrence
to the first principles is essential to the
safety and welfare of the states and people.
ReSofyed, That states attempting to Sc
ccde are still states III the Union. aud have
been recognized as such by every depart
ment Of the government being thus In the
Union, they stand on equal footing with
their sister states, with unequal rights-a
thing unknown by the constitution.
Rescired That congress has no power to
deprive a state Of reserved rights, and re-
duce it TO a territorial condition; that
therefore the exclusion by congress of all
representation from ten states, and proposed
exclusion from the next presidential cleo
ton, reduction to territories and unconstl-
tutional revolutionary and despotlc meas
ures, destructive to the rights OF those
states, and also to every other states IN the
Union, and part Of a plan to nuiilfy the
constitution, and virtually overthrow the
state governments, and erect despotlSm on
the ruins and establish tyrannlcal rule OF a
minority over a majority OF the American
people Congress Is not an omnepofent
law making power
ResoIced, That the people have suffered
too long the exactions of high protective
tariffs and we demand that their substance
shall no longer be exhorted from them to
fill the pockets of eastern monopolsts.

trary to justice and sound policy and we
call upon the governments, federal and
state. 10 use all HcCtSSdIS
means to remedy the evil
Resolred, That the special majority, SO,
called congress, have proved themselves IL
favor Of negro suffrage by forcing upon the
District Of Columbia, against It's wish, and
by forcing all territories in the violation Of
the constitution; that We are opposed tone
gro suffrage, believing 1t would be produc
tive of evil to both races, and disastrous
conflict

the constitution we tender to the majority
Of the supreme court our hearty thanks.
