Resolreci, That the
Democratic party
rei;era,es its frm adj
herence 20 the prin-
ciples Of Republican
Government, rs laid
down and expoun-
ded By the fathers
and enbt died in the
great charter Of our
liberties. the Cons,i-
tuition OF the United
States.
Resolrod, ThAtthe
Republican party
have utterly failed
10 carry out the fun
damental principles.
rs above stated; in
their administration,
ofthe affairs Of gov
eminent; and. by
their constant and
repeated violations
Of this sacred instru-
ment, have proven
themselves recreAni
90 the trust commit
uaitted 20 them and
unfit guardians ofthe
liberties of the peo-
pie.
Rcs0lrs q That
while we condemn
the utter reckless
ness ia regard To-
principle tha, forI
the past ten years
has characterized the
republican admins
iraiiuns, their record
0f corruption and
extravagance is such
as does and should
meet the condemRa-
tlon Of every honest
maR In the whole
United States.
Rcsoirsd, That the

cy Of the republican
party is calculated |
only 10 make the /
rich richer, aud the
poor poorer. ia Civ
ing the hondholdert
special privileges OF
exemption from his
just share Of tao bur

Resolroa, That the
many and glaring
encroachme nts of
capital up o n I h e
rights Of labor give
indication Cf a de-
termination on the
part Of tho capital ISIS
20 subvert the rights
Of the laboring man
and such legislationl
should be speedily
passed rs will protect
labor from tho domi-
nation Of capital. /
Hs4QiFed. That we
utterly condemn as
spti-demoerstio and
as the fruitful sourcel
of legislative corrupt
tion the granting of
monop-
olies by private and
special legislation.

subvcrsive of tn G
true princip ! es of

ments.
Res0ipod, That we
behave IN the old
fashioned doctrine of
the Declaration OF
Inde p c n d e n C e i
That all govern
uents derive their
Just powers from the
aonsogt Of the gov
erned !" and that we
do not regard the use
Of bayoncts and bull

Resoiued, That we
arc opposed to the
mingling of inferior
and superior races,
either IN the elective
franchise or by mis-.
cegenation /; and that
in the division Of
parties, we are in
favor OF keeping the
white democracy in
the one and the ne
groes and their equal
in the other.
ResoiUed, That the
tbieyeFy, corruption
and outrages upon
the rights ofthe peo-
pie, unconstitutional
acts oppressive laws,
general debauchery
and disregard Of the
liberties, prosperity
and welfare OF the
people by the Repub-
