| A State central committee was appointed
/ and the following resolution adopted:
Resolved by the Democracy of Indiana
1 That the principles of the Cincinnati Liberal
convention, taken in connection withzpro~
/ positions in Horace Greeiey's letter accept
ing the nomination Of that convention, con-
| stitute a platform on which the elements OF
opposition to the present corrupt adninis-
/ ton of the federal government can stand
and which propositions are as fellows. Alb
political rights and franchises which have
been acquired through the late bloody con-
yulsi1n must and shall be guaranteed, main
tanned, enjoyed and respected ever more.
Seeond-All political rights and franz
ehises which have been lost through that
c0nvulsiOn should and must be promptly
restored and re-esfablished so that there
shall be hencefOrth no prescribed class and
no disfranchised caste within the limits of
our Union, whose long estranged peOpl8
should unite aud fIaternize upon the broad
basis of universal amnesty with impartial
suffrage.
Third-Subiect to our solemn oonstitr-
tiOnal obligations to maintain equal rights
to all citizens, our policy should aim TO
local self-gOvernment and not at central
izati0n; civil authority should. be supreme
over the military and the writ Of habeas
corpus should be zealously upheld ag
the safeguard of public freedom. In
dlvidual citizens should enjoy th8
largest liberty consistent with public
order. There should be no general super
vision of the internal policy Of the several
States and municipalities, but each should
be left free to enforce the rights and pro
mote the well being Of its inhabitants by
such means as the Judgment of its people
should prescribe. There shall be real, and
not simulated, reform in the civil service Of
the republic, to which end it is indispen-
sable that the chief dispenser of its vast
patronage shall be shielded from the main
temptation to use his power seldshly, by q
rule inexorably forbidding and precluding
his reelection.
ResolUed, That we regard it as unwise
and imprudent to place two tickets ia nom
nation for the office of President and Vice
President as representatives Of these prin-
eiples, as a division of its friends would in
sure the defeat Of both, and It is therefore
the fixed conviction of this convention that
the Democratic convention to assemble in
Baltimore should adopt the nominees Of
the Liberal Republican convention instead
Of making other nominations,
ResOlUed, That the delegates appointed
to Baltimore from this State be and they
are hereby instructed to vote as a unit
upon all questions in accordance with th8
opinion of amajOrity of the delegation.
Other resolutions demand that provis-
ions be made for the soldiers of the late
war, their widows and orphans, and refer
The resolutions were adopted, without
debate, by a majority vote, respectable
number voting in the negative.
