PLATFORM OF THE DEMOC-
RACY OF OHIO, ADOPTED.
JANUARY 5, 1868.

ResolOed, That the Democracy of
Ohio congratulate the country upon
the improved aspect of political affairs
as evidenced by the State elections of
1867, and that they look forward with
hope and confidence o the result of
that momentous struggle, and upon
which depends, in so great a degree,
the future peace and prosperity of the
Union. ~ -@"
Resol0ed, That, unalterably oppos-
d to the doctrines which lead to con-
solidation, we renew with unflagging
zeal and increased energy, our attach
ment to that political creed which has
ever been so staunchly adhered to by
our organization through days of troub-
lie and disaster, as we'll as good fortune
and prosperity, which was thus OK
pressed by Thomas Jefferson: "Equal
and exact justice to all men, of what
eve state or persuasion-religious or
political-peace, commerce and hone est
with all nations, entangling
alliances with none; the support of the
State Government in all their rights,
as the most competent administration
OF our domestic concerns and the sur
est bulwark against anti-republicar
tendencies ; the preservation of the
Government in it's whole con-
vigor as the sheet anchor of
peace at home and safety abroad (; a
care Of the rights of elections
BY the people; and the supremacy of
he civil over the military authority"
Resolved, That we condemn the
legislative usurpations of Congress,
md particularly the several acts of re,
construction so called, as violative of
he Constitutional compact between
he States, and as utterly subersive of
very principle of self government
hat distinguishes a free people.

ny measures which recognize that
