unalleTably endeared himself 10 the Peo-
PIE Of this Con gressional District, and by
every principle Of justice and graf 'ude'
aud the plaudiIs OF n people whom he has
so faithfully aud truly served therefore be
IL resolved by the people Of kaufman eoun-
~, in convention assembled,
!. That In our opinion, the time has
come when every true democrat should
speak, cry aloud, aud spare not, and lead
every assistance TO that party, which In
times past led our beloved country from
weak begi innings 10 the proudest position
among nations; carried its banner in tri'
umph from the Atlantic 10 the Pacific
maintained the national glory, and keep
alive in the hearts OF the people the fires
| 0f constitutional government, aud amidst
floods Of corruption, the yaulting ambition
OF restless and aspiring demagognes, and
innovations never contemplated by the
fathers of the Republic, aud which is the
last hope-palladium Of our, and our chill
dren's happiness and freedom.
=. That we, us u portion OF the democra-
cy Of the Union, are in favor of burying
the dead issues of the past-secession and
slavery-and desire earnestly TO address
ourselves to the living issues of the hour,
and TO this end extend the right hand OF
| " uil WIN Itkhiu W pui'g
M mes, or past party affiliations, who are
now willing 10 unite with us in the good
wor X of restoring harmony throughout the
Who'll 10 Union, in driving out the thieves,
gamblers, and money dealers from the
temple of our liberties, and organizing all
the elements of virtue, patriotism, and wis
don for the restoration of good feeling in
all sections of the Republic.
3. That we view with serious alarm the
efforts Of the dominant party 10 subvert the
immemorial theory of the Union Of the
States, AMI to deny to the people thereof
self. government, thereby consolidating all
power in the federal government and
bringing upon us and our posterity cen,
traliza,ion, with nll its untold evils, and
which, ifpermitted to become fixed tleo-
4 ~ of cons truction, will inevitably lead to
the anarchy and revolution which have
blighted the hopes and destinies of our sis
ter republics on this Continent, made them
the ceaseless theatre of blood and national
calamity; and which must, in the veay ma
ture of things, end in monarchical despot-
ism.
4. That VIC reprobate and condemn the
efforts that are being made to defeat the
nomination Of the Hon. John G. Conner, as
our standard bearer in the coming Con-
gressional election, by accusations which
are emanatious from radical sources, and
which we believe to be without any foun-
dation whatever.
s. That We endorse his course in the last
Congress that in our opinion, he truly
and honestly represented ns; that in SAID
Congress he faithfully and triumphant!y
vndcated the people of Texns, and partic.
ularly of this Congressional District,
against the foul ISLANDERS Of their tradu.
GERS and malignant prosecutors; that he is,
and ever has been, q true, trlsty and we'll
tried democrat, and deserves the hearty
concentrations of his constituents, as thei
faithful public servant.
6. That thirteen delegates representing
all the precincts of this county, be up
pointed by the chairman Of this conven-
ton to represent us in tho congressional
convention to assemble in the city Of Dal.
las on the 4th day Of July next; and that
they be, and are hereby instructed to cast
their votes for the Hon. John c. Conner,
as our first choice for Congress, and we
hereby pledge our sister counties Of this
congressional district to give him our uni
ted and cordial support if nominated.
Z. That having implicit confidence in
the integrity Of the democratic party, we
pledge ourselves to support the nominee OF
the congressional convention.
