RESOLUTIONS.

The Democracy of chester County, in reg.
ular annual meeting assembled, adopted the
following resolutions:
Rcsolyca, That the Union of tho States
under the Constitution as our Fathers made
it, is the Union which VIC have always up
held and preserved and to which We arc
now, and ever will continue to bc devoted
and true. 1t has been progressive, through
Democratic administrations Of innumerable
blessings to all classes Of tho American
people.
That n CENTRAL consolidated national gov
crenment, as attempted to be established by
the present revolutionary Congress, is not u
Union OF States, but an usurpation fraught
with taxes, and tyranny, and destructive OF
liberty and public prosperity.
That the ulteranccs and acts Of tho Re-
publican majority in the last present Con-
grcss, not only lalsity the solemn professions,
promises and pledges, made and given to the
Country and the world, with the approval of
President Lincoln, at the commencement of
the late unhappy civil war, but fully and
conclusvcly prove and justify the declaration
made By the democracy Of Chester County,
IN this Hall, in August 1861, that: the war
was, ton the part of the leaders of the Re-
publican party mot war for the Constitu-
ton not war for the CniOn-but war
against the Constitution and Union, to carry
out the schemes Of Sectional Aboiitionism.
That the 'so.callcd" reconstruction policy
of Congress, is unwisc, devoted Of patriotism
and Statesmansliip, and without authority
n the Constitution, 1t is the offspring Of
New England seiishne.s and Sectional hate,
Al md s,l, ,r, i ~,
structivc OF every present hope OF fraternity
prGjudlcial 10 the general interests Of both
sections, and causing an enormous and worse
than Il useless expenditure OF millions of
money, which might and should be appro-
priated to the relief Of the debt burdencd
and taxridden people.
That the doctrine that the ncgroc shall
have social and political rights equal with
the white man, is an issue, forced upon the
country; the Republican party by its acts
in our State Legislature and in Congress,
has openly and fully committed itsell in favor
o: comforting upon the negro the right Of
suffrage, the right to hold Office, and occupy
every position and enjoy ever privilege, ac-
corded TO our white fellow citizens The
Dcmoc alto party true t, the principles Of
the patriot Fathers OF 81, can never consent
to this odius and degrading doctrine, and
will ever maintain with the late Senator
