THE APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.

Upon this platform the Democratic
party appeal to every patriot, including
all the conservative element, and all
who..desire to support tho Constitution
and restore the Union, forgetting all
past differences of opinion, to unite with
rs in the present great struggle for the
liberties of the people /; and that to all
such, to whatever party they may hsve
heretofore belonged, we extend the
righthand of fellowship, and hail all
such cooperating with us as friends
and brothers.

FURTHER DECLARATIONS. EusK
n And zoe do Declare and Resolve, that
ever since the people of the United
States threw off all subjuSatioB to the
British Crown, the privilege and trust
of suffrage have belonged to the several
States, and have been granted, regu
lated and CT ntrolled exclusively by the
political power of each State, respective
ly, and any attempt by Congress, on any
pretext whatever, to deprive any State
of this right, or interfere with this ex-
e~rcise, is a fragrant usurpation of power,
which can find no warrant in the Con
stitution, and if sanctioned by the peo.
pie, will subvert our form Of Govern.
ment, and can only end in a single,
centralized, consolidated Government,
in which the seperate existence of the
States will be entirely absorbed, and
an unqualified despotism be established
in place of a federal Union of equal
States.
That we regard the reconstruction
acts of Congress, SO called. as usurpa-
tions. unconstitutional, revolutionary
and void.
That our soldiers and sailors who car
ried the flag of our country to victory
against a most gallent and determined
foe, must ever be gratefully remember;
ed, and all the guarantees given in their
favor must be. faithfully carried into
execution. y
That the public lands should be dis
trituted widely among the people, and
should be disposed of either under the
presumption of homestead lands, and
sold in reasonable quantities, aud to
none but actual occupants, at the mini:
mum price, as established by tho Gov,
ernment aud that, when grants of the
public lands may he allowed, necessary
for the encouragement of important pub
lie improvements, the proceeds Of the
sale of such lands, and not the lands
themselves, should be so applied. -i;
That thel President of the United
States, Andrew johnson, in exercising
the power Of his high office in resisting
the aggressions of Congress on the
constitutional rights of the States and
the people, is entitled to the gratitude
IF the whole American people, and on
behalf of he'Demecratic party we ten.
der him our thanks for his patriotic
efforts in that regard.
