Good Resolutions.

The following resolutions were
adopted at a Democrat Convention,
held at Branchport, in the county of
Yates, n, ", June 5. 1868;
Res0tred, That while we recognize
aud will uphold the rightful claims of
capital i'm money, we also Tect'gT.iZ;-
and we will Use all riglIlful neAns in
uphnldiug and dencourGgng, the grand
and noble capital OF labor, wit bout
which the capital i'll mOney would be
valueleSS.
Resotre1l, That the present system
of eXempting capital in honds or 9th
erwiSe, from the taxation necessary to
the support of government, we con-
slider worse than legal stealing-for
we believe there is nothing legal
about it-but absolute and downright
robbery. ..:,.. p
Resolred. That in a Republican gov
eminent, gold and silver only should
be known as legal teRGerS that the
present system of demanding gold as
legal tender for capital, while labor
is paid in a deprecated paper curren-
cy, we consider unjust and subversive
OF the dignity of honest labor and in
telligent enterprise, and that we de-
clare our unceasing hostility to all
such iniquities, designed to enrich the
few at the expense of the many.
ReSolred, That the present Nation
al debt, if ever paid, should be paid at
once, and by direct taxation, the only
rightful way of supporting republic
an government, that we have no right
to Impose such crushing burdens upon
posterity. ... .....
ReSolIed, That the person about to
! be selected as cur candidate for PTe5i-
! dent, in order to secure our suffrage,
must be known as a tried, true and
faithful statesman, a man of positive
ability and unfinching firmness, in
q contradiStluction to an accidental
military reputation, secured by the
| skill and labor of theirs rather than
the reckless waste of human life by
kImselis ...-. E., .-...-,
ResOtUed, That this is white mans
government, made by white men, ar
! for white men and their poSteFity for.
| ever, and that the man, be he Demo-
crat or Republican, who shall be fair
| ly and honestly elected by white
mems votes, shall be President in any
event and at all hazards. -." ''i
] ReSoEUed, That having received from
our ancestors a Democratic Republic
| an Government, with plain and eX
I plicit instructions how to retain an0
keep the same for all future time, It'll:
our imperative duty to transmit the
same to our posterity unimpaired, anC
for the accomplishment of this -puH
pose we pledge to the Democrats o

Not for Chase.

a Secretary of the Chase conference

position: "Mr. Pendleton is my first

Will the Democracy Carry Massachu

l-l1-=-s--t
Our readers may think it preposter-
GUS to ask such .. question, but we
have high authority for the ing uirys
and would say that this consumntas
ton is really possible. if not proba-
ble.l The history of the past conclu-
.sively Demonstrates that in this coun-
Try there is no such thing as fixed ma
jorities.- The vote last fall for John
Quincy Adams proved that there were
many honest men in the old Bay
State, and that result showed the
weak condition OF the Radical party, II
even in Massachusetts. People there
as elsewhere are-beeoming tired Of the
depraved rule of Sumner, Phillips,
Wilson, Butler and Stevens. s.. j.,
The truth is, the reaction in Massa-
chusetts, and all over the country, is
progressing and gathering strength.
1t has. assumed such dimensions that
the oldest Republican ergan in Mas
sachusetts sounds the alarm, as the
following from the Springfield AIassl
Republican will show: ...-- %: 90.
"The Republican party of this State
is in peril-in its honor and in its
/ power. The Democratic. leaders are
indulging strong hopes of getting pos
session of the State .GoVernment!--
They count upon the divisions of the
Republicans upon temperance legisla-
tiOn, the corruptIons that have grown
into administration and legislation,
the bad management and frauds that
| have accompanied the tunnel enter
| prise at mountain and State House,
| the sharp quarrel between the Gov
| ernment and Legislature this year,
and the bitterness left behind it, the
alliance with themselves of the P. L..
/ l.. secret leagues, and the deep dis
| gust that many honest yet independ-
ent Republicans feel at the shiftless
and degrading way things have gone
aid are still going in their party
these and kindred circumstances they
count on as sure to give their candi-
date for Governor, again to that half
Republican, young Mr.. Adams a
greatly increased vote and q fair
chance of an election next fall. These
are not cain expectations. There Is deep
and tCide spread deHordiizdtiOJi aIlOHO
the Massachusetts republicans as q State
party. They can only recover tone
and unity and strength by a courage
GUS movement that shall bring new
men and new politics into dominance
and thrust aside alike those who have
debaIched its ranks. A bold and firm
stand against that wide spread affila-
tiOn of weak and wicked men known
as the lobby, and the expulsion of Its
members and their creatures from the
State House, and from power in the
tparty conventions 4; and the nOmina-
tion of independent vigorous hearted
, men for the chief places in the Gov
ernment, who, if possible, are fresh tt
their work. and so without cOmplica
tIOn in the disturbing and distractinl
elements of the party-these are thu
two essentials for successful meeting
ofthe crisis that confronts the Massa.
