Ar the Montgomery County Demo
cratic Convention to-day, Mr.. Vallandig-
ham. from the Committee on Resolutions,
reported and advocated the follown g
resolutions which were adopted:
L. Recognizing the differences OF
opinion among Democrats concerning
the issues of the war, and agreeing to
disagree as to the past, cordially invite
all Republicans, who believe now as we
believe upon the present issues, to CO.
operate with the Democrats on the basis
OF perfect equality with every member of
the party.
2. Waving all differences of opinion
regarding the extraordinary means en-
ployed to bring about the late amendments
to the constitution, the Democracy accept
the legitimate results of the war and ac-
quiesce in those amendments.
3. The third resolution demands of
Democrats the rule of strict construction,
and pledges the Democratic party to the
faithful and absolute enforcement of the
Constitution as it now is so as to secure
equal rights to all persons without dis
tinction of race, color, or condition.
4. The fourth resolution asserts equal
ity of the States in the Union.
D. The fifth denounces all attempts at
Capitalization and consolidation of power
in the hands of the Federal Government,
and all encroachments of one department
OF the government on the functions of
another
6. The sixth declares no act of Con-
gress or legislative policy of continuous
effect is finality, but subject to change,
modification or repeal at the will of a
majority.
z. TIE seventh calls for universal
amnesty.
5. The eighth favors payment of the
public debt as speedy as consistent with
moderate taxation, and insists upon hon.
esty and economy in the administration
OF the government.
y. The ninth favOrs revenue reforms.
10. The tenth favors civil service re-
form.
IL. The eleventh says taxation should
be based on wealth, not population.
II. The twelfth demands a speedy re-
turn to specie payment.
Ii. The thirteenth denies the irrepres-
sible conflict between labor and capital,
and .jastifies the accumulation of wealth
for proper purposes, but sympathizes with
with the efforts of labor to protect and
dignity itself
IA. The fourteenth opposes land grants,
but favors the sale of public lands at a
low price, in small quantities, to induce
settlement.
10. The fifteenth adheres to the prin-
ciple OF the acquisition of territory, but
denounces Grants scheme for the annex
alton of San Domingo
10. The sixteenth denounces the Ku
Klux and other force bills as enacted
solely to complete the Capitalization of
power in the hands of the Federal Gov
eminent, and to establish a military
despOtism and perpetuate the present
administration, and is in conflict with the
amendments they propose to enforce.
Is. The eighteenth declares that the
Radical party of to-day, is not the Re
publican party previous to the war, but
only Grant party, dating back to March
4th, 1869, and is to be judged by its
record since that time.
The resolutions are regarded as outlin-
ing the Democratic issues for the cam
paign of 1872.
No doubt that the person described in
the following queer announcement of his
disconsolate spouse has turned up as a
leading Radical of the Mississippi Legis-
lature, who has passed himself off under
an assumed name:
From the Monongohela Republican.
