Resolutions Adopted by the
Democratic State COnven-
fion of West virginia.

l. Resolved, That We approve the platform of
the National Democratic Convention, lately as.
sembled in New York, as the true exponent of
our political principles and pledge our hearty
and united support to the nominees Of that
Convention for the Offices of President and Vice
President of the United States.
9 ResOlped That we demand of the Legsla-
ture of this State q reduction Of the useless
swarm of officers with which we are infested,
and such other measures of economy. retrensh.
ment and reform as will reduce the burthen OF
State and local taxation, which is txhausting
the substance of our people.
g. RssolU6d, That we demand the reform OF
the present system of registration as unjust
oppressive upon the people, and at variance
with the fundamental principles OF free govern
ment.
4. ResoIued That we denounce the Radical
party of this State because with view oi
perpetuating their own power, they have re
fused to permit the people to elect their owl
Registers, and have vested the power Of appoint
ment and removal in the Governor, so that the
interruptions purposes Of the party may be bet
ter accomplished; and because, with the same
view, they have by recent legislation relieved
their Registers thus unfairly and Improperly
elected, from either civil or criminal response
bility, for even willfll and corrupt violation o.
duty. 49,.
5. Resolved That while we are willing to &C
cord to the negro the full measure of lega
rights, with ample protection OF person and
property, we are unalterably opposed TO negrt
suffrage negro equality, and Radical Legislation
looking to that end.
6. RESOLVED, That we denOunce the kadlca
party for having, through its representatives IL
Congress, by the passage of certain military re
constr uction bills, declared null and void thu
Government Of Virginia, which formed the
State of West Virginia, thereby denying thu
legal existence of our new State.
