Resofued, That the Democracy ofthe
country have neither the purpose mol

assume any portion of the debts OF the
States lately in rebellion. t~,rl .
Resolved That, neither forgetting
nor denying our ancient faith thai
gold and silver coin form the currency
of the Constitution, we declare that
the fve-twenty bonds should be paid
in the same currency received by the
Government for their issue, and tba,
by the withdrawal of the monopoly
granted to the National Ranks this re.
suit can be accomplished without an
undue or dangerous increase OF paper
money, now the only circulating medi
um, thus relieving our people from the
burthen of a debt, the tendency OF
which is always to corrupt and e%nslave.
and our Government from the reproach
of paying a favored class in gold, while
discharging its debts to all others,i i'm
GLIDING pensions to widows and sol

RESOLVED, That this plan violates no
law, impairs no contract, breaks ne
iaith, aud instead of retarding a retur,

because the only safe way of reaching
that end.
Resolred, That all the property of
the country, including the Govern
ment bonds. which receives the equa'
protection of the Government, should
bear an equal share in its burthens.
RESOLVED, That We Indignantly reject
the principle derived from the feuda;
system-that the masses of the people
belong to the Governments unde,
which they live, which in another form.
is contenaed for by the monarchies of
Europe, including Great Britain,

We on the contrary maintain that an
individual can, by emigration and resi-
dence in another country, torswear his
previous allegiance, and be admitted in
to all the civil aud political rights Of
his new home-that American citizens
by adoption aud ADMINISTRATION are en-
titled to all the rights as between us
and iorsign powers which can be
claimed by our native born citizeas.
and it is the.duty Of the Federal Gov
ernment to protect and maintain them
by every means in its power.
ResoiUed, That the people will sus
tain Andrew Johnson, Presiden. of
the United States, in his struggle with
Congressional usurpation, and that we
pledge the democracy of Ohio 10 sup

TO relieve the white people Of the S1uth

sqsZC SIDEWALK ETIQUETTE Some of our
ia1e1 OhesterfeIdiaa exchanges have the fol-
- - lowing on sidewalks, which we com
: mend TO the attention Of our readers:
Only villagers, or persons with rural
ideas, contend that ladies should always
be given the inside Of the pavement 10

10 10 turn to the right, whether the
Light leads to the wall or 10 the gutter,
and an observance of this common
sense rule would .obviate much un-
pleasant scrouoing by overgallant gen.
slemen, who persistently crowd for the
outside of the walk Another custom
=, - aot required by fashionable etiquette,
iu i and which is nearly as explaiuably
ocs n absured, is the practice of filing a
poZ % church pew, making themselves as ridi-
!,euIous as an awkward squad" practi-
cling catch step, in order to give a lady

walk with a lady, to keep himself on
the outside of the pavement. A little
judgment will convince any person of
the perfect uselessness of this bobbing
iev,9 back and forth at every corner. The
.sidT common rule is this: If men and wo-
men are walking together, she should
,,uI-i always be at bis rightarm, whether it
be toward the inside or outside of the

giggle at persons who follow this rule

FURTHER DECLARATIONS.
And zoe do Declare and Resofve, that
ever since the people of the United
States threw off all subjugation to the
British Crown, the privilege and trust
of s.ffrage have belonged to the several
States, aud have been granted, regu
lated and controlled exclusively blythe
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-
ercise, 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.
menr, and can only end in q single,
centralized, consolidated Government,
in which the separate 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 oil the guarantees given IN their
fpvor must be faithfully carried into
execution.
That the public lands should be dis
tributed widely among the people, and
should be disposed of either uuder the
pre-emption of homestead lands, and
sold in reasonable quantities, and to
one but actual occupants, at the mini
mum price, rs established by the Gov
ernment ; and that, when grants of the
public lands may be allowed, necessary
for the encourage nent of important pul .
lie Improvements, the proceeds of the
sale of such lands, aud not the lands
themselves, should be so applied.
That the President of the United
States, Andrew johnson, in exercising
the power Of his high Office in resisting
the sggressions OF Congress on the
constitutional rights of the States and
the people, is entitled to the gratitude
of the whole American people, and on
behalf of the Democratic party we ten
der him Dur thanks for his patriotic
efforts in that regard.
THE APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
Upon this platform the Democratic
party appeal to every patriot, including
all the conservative element, aud all
who desire to support tho Constitution
and restore the Union, forgetting ali
past differences of opinion, to unite with
in the present great struggle for the
liberties of the people ; and that to all
such, to whatever party they may hsve
belonged, we extend ihe
of fellowship, and hail ali
such cooperating with us as friends
and brothers.

-z A Chinese WIDOWS METHOD IN
! . HER SoRRow.-A letter from Hong
Kong gives the following account of
4 the conduct ofa Chinese widow on her
- asay, By steamer, from San Francisco
. rsto China. Her own explanation of her
. q apparent devotion to the "dear depart
led. is particularly good:
Among = twelve or fifteen Chinese
Messengers was a ~disconsolate widow,
rasRhosh had resided in California for ff
h. teen years, had ACCUMULATED about
81 $4,000, and, having lost her husband
by death, was returning to China to
abide for the future with her old frieuds
q, and kinsmen. She was about forty
'! years of age, good-Iooking when con-
sidered from a Chinese standpoint, am
, being rich, would doubtless be conider
ed a good catch by her couutrymer
She had had the bones of her s.dear
departed" polished after the Chinese
style, boxed in a camphor wood trunk,
and was taking them with her to the
Flowery Kingdom, in order that they
might be deposited in the jess House
Alongside those of his ancestors.
Every day she would descend to the
hold OF tneFesseI, "ueIe tno iem
were slowed, and spend an hour or two
with the skeleton, muttering a mixed
sort of prayer, while tears streamed
from her eyes. Her mumneries con
/ cluded, she would come upon deck,
ysmeke her cigar, laugh and chat with
her eouDtrymeu as if she was the most
olighfheared person in the world; Oae
day. after she had terminated her
hours penance over the dry bones of
her skeleton husband, I asked her why
lshe said her prayers -over him daily,
and was not q little astdnished to hear
her reply :aMe likee to fools Chinese ;
he t1nkee me likee husband belly much;
then may be bime-by me get another
one. Ny husband is boxee belly good
man be belly dry, and no smellee."

A gentleman possessed Of o noble

steak. The money, with q towel, was
deposited in the basket, and Bowser,
with much dignity and thoughtfulness,
would trot of to the butchers stall, and
~ the nan Of beef, understanding the ar
rangemeut, would take the money, de-
posit the steak, and the dog would trot
home. Turning q corner one morning.
on his way from market, he came upon
two dogs fighting. With the same
feelings that will make the crowd Of
.4HJ human dogs throng about a prize ring
to see two other dogs pound each other,
Bowser paused, and for a second look
ed on then, excited by the contest, he
dropped his basket aud "went in"
He whipped both, but willie SO engage.
-ss sd 1Ol Cd . hungry hound stole his steak.
Bowser picked up his basket the
loss of weight told the story. He STOP
sssa7r-z ped and investigated. The steak was
10 -al%z gone, and the the poor dogs worry was
isbui eomical. He looked in every direction
for the lost meat, all the while half
growing and whining as if talking to
himself. Some men who saw the af-
fair and knew the dog, watched to see
what solution Bowser would make of
the difficulty, The poor fellow was for
5is 80 .t.F pomen in doubt, and then, as if an
nj sssEvs1idea had struck him, be set off for the
Io;a - market again. The little crowd follow
ie1sHrs ed him. They saw him approach the

Ecf = II boldly, he stopped aud looked wistful
s-aob II n the meat. At last. when the but
.,Beds cher's hack was turned for a second, he
hfE~nc seized the largest STEAK on the block,
