Resoloed, That we heartily approve
and indorse the platform adopted by the
Democracy Of Ohio, at Columbus, on the

Resolped, That the Reconstruction pol.
icy Of the Jacobin party, which enfran-

version Of the Constitution and laws fos
The government Of the respective States,
and Of the United States.
Resolued, That we recognize as prin.
ciple, that the plop holder is as good as
the bond holder, and that as long as the
currency of the country is legal tender
for the one, it should be made a legal
tender for the other, and that all proper
ty should bear its equal proportion Of
taxation. 33 o
sResotued, That We are Internationally
opposed to negro suffrage in the Govern
ment, and we still hold with the lament-

#posterity forever. y 8
