5000 mOcracy. -.-.,
, eaat D ALBANY, New YORK, Sept. 8.
The following are the resolutions adopt
ed, with great enthusiasm, by the Demo
critic Convention to day The ,Democra-
cy of New York, in convention assembled,
reaffirm the National Democratic platform
adopted in New York on the 9TH OF July,
and they call the special attention of their
fellow citizens to the following PROPOSE
tions embodied in this declaration of prin-
ciples: gr1-F e5GGrEE -~--asET NgF
First, The immediate restoration of all
the States to their rights in the Union un-
der Constitution, of which some of them
are deprived by the unconstitutional and
revolutionary measures of Congress,
which is perpetuating disunion, and by its
usurpation of power threatens the estab-
lishment of centralized government in
place of Federal Union of equal States.
, Second. Amnesty for all past political
offenses and the regulation of the elective
franchise in all the States by their citizens
without any interference whatever by the
Federal Government.
Third, The payment of the public obli-
cations in strict accordance with their
terms; in gold only when gold is nominate
ed in the bonds, and in the lawful CURRENCY
Fourth, Equal taxation of every species
OF property, including Government bonds
and other public securities, the simplifica-
ton of the system, and the discontinuance
of inquisitorial modes of assessing and col
lecting internal revenue. ,s
Fifth, One currency for the Government
and the people, the laborer and the office
holder, the pensioner and the soldier, the
producer and the land holder. .-..-t -ra :
Sixth, Reform of abuses in the admins
tration, reduction of the stantliDg army
and navy, abolition of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau, and all political instrumentalities de-
signed to secure negro supremacy, and
restoration of the rightful authority and
the independence of the Executive and
judiciary and the subordination of the
military to the civil powers. man
Seventh, Equal rights and protection for
naturaliZ d and native born citizens at
home and abroad, and the asserting of
American nationality which shall COM
mand the respect of foreign powers and
furnish an example and encouragement to
people struggling for national integrity
and constitutional liberty. r-, -
Eight, That the thanks of the people are
ever due to the soldiers and sailors who
peril their lives in defense of the Republic,
and chat their claims upon the Govern
ment and the people shall be held sacred
and inviolable. ---Ia.
Ninth, That the nation is under deep and
lasting obligations to President johnson,
who, deserted by party which proved
faithless to the princi Piles and pledges upon
which it came into power, has respected
his oath to maintain and defend the Consti-
tuition, and who will be honored in history
as one of the most determined defenders of
American liberty and that Chief Justice
Chase, who, in the trial instituted to de-
pose the Executive as an obstacle to parti-
,a1 al.,ts IL
faithful to his high trusts, is entitled to the
gratitude, not only of the Democrats of
this State and nation, but of all friends of
civil government.
They endorse and ratify the nominees for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency, names
which combine patriotism, craftsmanship
and the virtues of the Christian gentleman
with the heroism of the soldier who is true
to the Union he gallantly fought to pre-
serve. Horatio Seymour, the fearless cham
pion of popular rights and personal liberty,
the determined opponent of fanaticism in
all its shapes, the firm supporter of the
Government in time of war, the friend of
the soldier and the guardian of the citizen,
who as Governor vindicated the right,
protected the interest and added fresh lus-
ter to the glory Of the Empire State, is
fitly associated in the campaign which is
to restore order and civil government to
the American people, with General Fran
els P. Blair Jr, who sustains in peace the
government he maintained on the battle
field of the war. -E
That all registration and excise laws
should be uniform in their operation
throughout the State, and that the eXecu-
tion of excise laws and the collection of
fees under them should be made through
the local authorities in the several coun-
ties that in the State as in the National
Government, they demand economy in eX-
penditures, strict adherence to the letter
and spirit of the Constitution, and the pro-
lection of the rights of the people against
encroachments of monopolies created by
special legislation; that the canals of the
State, which have contributed largely to
the wealth and commercial supremacy of
New York, should remain the property of
its citizens; that they should remain in
perfect repair, and so improving to meet
the demands of continually increasing
commerce, and the tolls should be reduced
to command the trade, and the system of
management provided for in a bill passed
by the last Democratic Assembly and re-
jected by Radical Senate should be adop-
ted; that corruption and peculation shall
cease and the canal revenue be honestly
applied to the maintenance of the canals
and payment of the debts incurred in their
con struction.
Upon this platform the Democracy of
New York appeal to all classes in the COM
munity for support, and especially to the
working people, who are burdened with
unequal taxation, which absorbs the fruits
of their slabors and removes the incen-
tives to individual and associated industry,
and they pledge to each other and to the
advocates and defenders of constitutional
liberty throughout the Union, that the YER
diet of the State will be recorded for the
principles and the policy OF which our
National on6 Statn standard hpa
the chosen representatives. -@s- --9
