The first resolution takes exactly the
right ground, in dcnounciug the MANNER
In which the three amendments were forced
upon the country, yet declaring them to he
no longer practical issues. The second res.
oluton is Il capital one. 1t demands that
these amendments shall be construed so ;ts

which is rs follows:
"The powers not delegated to the United
States by the Constitution, nor prohibited

States respectively, or to the people,
That was an excellent idea. The third
and fourth resolutions are good. The fifth
we don't understand rs the telegraph sends
1t. Then down TO the twelfth they are
uneXceptiOnable. The twelfth is unworthy
OF statesmen. The men who loaned the
money TO the Government for which the
national bonds were issued have few or
none of those bonds now. There is no pos
slbe way of discriminating, as the resolll-
ton declares the Government ought to, In
paying of the public debt. But let that
pass. 1t is an Insignificant matter.
We congratulate the Democracy of Ohio
and of the whole country upon the wisdom
OF this State Convention.
