Resolred, By the Democratic Conserv-
ative party Of Randolph county in
Convention assembled,
1st. That we are opposed to Negro
Suffrage and in favor of Government
that will protect our lives, our liberties
and our property.
I'd. That the leaders of the Radical
party have no fixed principles except to
remain in power and burden the people
with an enormous and intolerable tax
alton to sUbserye their own wicked and
corrupt purposes and ends.
Sd. That we cannot expect Justice
from the Radical party; that they have
shown their corruption upon the trial
of the impeachment against the Presi-
dent of the United States by utterly
disregarding the sanctity of their oaths
and prostituting the sacred character of
Judge TO the promotion of tho vilest
and most criminal partisan objects.
4th. That we are opposed to the Re-
construction Acts passed by Congress,
forcing Negro Suffrage on q people
against their consent, and disfranchls-
ing ten sovereign States.
5th. That General Grants letter of
acceptance of the nomination for Presi-
dent intimstes that the party must not
have fixed principles but must vary to
suit party interests and purposes, and
that all principles must be disregaEded
if it is required in order that the party
may remain in power.
9th. That the masses of the people
are honest and will do right if not mis-
led by bad men, office-seekers, dema-
gogues and fanatics.
7th. That Andrew johnson, through
all the prosecutions to which he has
been subjected by Radical fanaticism
and hate on account of his fidelity to
the Constitution and the obligations of
public duty eliminating in the i'm
peachment prosecution, has had our
deepest sympathy, and we tender him
and the country our sincere congratula-
tions upon his triumphant acquittal by
a Court in which his personal political
enemies overwhelmingly predominated,
and that posterity will revere and cher
ish with grateful admiration the men,
ory Of hi, invincible courage, frmness
and constancy, and his sublime and un-
selfish devotion to duty when his in
famous and malignant prosecutors are
or only remembered to be ex-
ecrated.
Sth. That our thanks are hereby ten
dered to Chief Justice Chase and Sena-
tors Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes, Hen
derson, Trumbull, Ross and Van Wrinkle,
who, casting off the shackles Of party,
and unawed by its clamor and threats,
dared to do their whole duty as judges
OF the impeachment court without fear,
favor or affection. The country will
honor them and look to them with hope
and confidence in every emergency de-
the sacrifice of party predilec-
tions and interests upon the altar of pa
UTlOGlSH.
9th. That the currency in which the
government pays the pittance allowed
to its MANNED and disabled defenders
and the widows and orphans of these
who offered up their lives in its service
is good enough for any class of its cred
itors and especially the bondholding ar
iStocracy.
10th. That we have entire confidence
in the wisdom, discretion and patriotism
that will inspire the deliberations Of the
National Democratic and Conservative
which is to assemble in the
city Of New York on the 4th of July
next, and we pledge an earnest and un-
support to the standard-bear-
ers of the Democratic and Conservative
party in tke approaching Presidential
contest, to be then and there chosen.
