the people and prosperity of the ma
ton.
Resolced, That the national debt
should be paid as rapidly as is consis-
tent with the terms of the laws upon
which the several loans are based.
ReSOired, That the five-twenty bonds
and the legal tender notes are cOmpo-
nent parts of the same financial sys-
TEN, and until the Government is able
to redeem the legal tenders in coin, the
holders of these bonds should be re-
quired to receive legal tenders in pay
ment.
ResolUed, That every species of prop
erty should bear its proportion of tax
alton and that the exemption of Gov
ernment bonds therefrom is unjust and
iLequitable.
ReSOlUed, That we recognize with e.
motions of deepest gratitude the eff
forts of the gallant volunteer soldiers
who so freely took up arms TO protect
the flag and preserve the Union, and
we denOunce as unjust to them, the eff
forts of the Radicals to prevent a res
tOratiOn of the Union until negro su-
premacy is established in certain States,
and negro equality made the rule in all.
ResOtred, That the naturalization of
foreign born citizens places them on
the same footing as those born in this
country, and it is the duty Of the Gov
ernment to see that all the citizens,
naturaliZed and native, are protected in
the rights of life, liberty, and proper
ty, abroad as well as at home, and that
in the view of the Democracy the flag
of the country ought and must be
made to protect all our citizens.

ballot for candidate for Auditor Gen
eral. On the third ballot Hon.
Charles f. Boyle, of Fayette, receiving
a majority of votes, was declared the
successful candidate, his nomination
being subsequently made unanimous.
The convention then proceeded to
ballot for candidate for Surveyor
General, the choice in the second ballot
falling upon that gallant solder, Gen
eral Wellington III. Ent, of Columbia
