PLATFORM AXD kEsoLUTIoNs.:
The Democracy Of Ohio coming TO-
eethef III the spirit of devotion to the
doctrines and Faith Of free representative
government, and relying for success upon
I5iscussion and the intelligence Of the
people, deem the present Convention .
| lifting occasion 20 reassert the following
time-honpssd principles Of the Democrat-
| ic party:
That the federal Government is one Of
Limited powers derived solely from the
tconstitution; that the grants Of power
made therein ought TO be strictly con-
strued By all the dependents and agents
Of the Government, and that it's inexpe-
diens aud dangerous to exercise doubtful
powers;
That the consultation Of the United
States is founded on the fundamental
principle Of the entire and absolute
equality Of al the States of the Union,
aud it Is not competent for Congress TO
impose upon Them any conditions % re-.
strictions in. respect to their internal
eoncerns which the Federal Consultation
has not imposed;
Tast the liberal principles embodied
by Jefferson in the Declaration Of 1nde-
pendenee, and sanctioned in the Cousti-
tuition, which make ours the land Of lib
efty ana the ssylum Of the oppressed Of
every nation, have ever been cardinal
principles Of the Democratic faith, and
every attempt to abridge tho privileges Of
becoming citizens, and the owners Of soil
smone Us, ought to be resisted With the
same spirit which swept the alien and se-t
dition laws from the statute books
+ And, in order that we may more dis
|tinctly declare our views Of the ih'sas0fes
and policy of the present administration,
