adopted
Resolved by the Democrats and Liber-
al Republicans of Cairo, in mass meeting
| assembled, that, in our opinion the changes
| in the nature and constitution Of the gov
| eminent, which have taken place during
| and since the late war, and the dangers
that now threaten the best interests OF the
people, make it the patriotic duty of all
electors, whatever their previous party af-
hliations, to unite in political fellowship
| to advocate the sacredness of limited and
| localized governments, to restrain the ex-
ercise by Congress of absolute and genera
powers, to prevent the growth of vast cor
porations, to demand reform in the civil
service, and to use all possible endeavors
to secure universal amnesty and thus re-
unite the North and South it, the bonds of
II union based upon amity and not alone
upon the power Of the bayonet.
Resolved, That the recent declaration
of political principles of the Cincinnati
convention meets with our hearty approval
we believe all patriotic citizens may unite
on that platform for the purpose Of resto-
| ring an honest administration Of national
affairs and enforcing the obligations of
the constitutions; we recognize in the cam
didates Of that convention, Horace Gree
ley and b. Gratz Brown, patriots and
able men who will prove true to all its
promises, and whose administration of the
government carried on in accordance
with its declaration Of principles would
confer great and permanent blessings
upon the republic.
Resolved, by the Democrats in this
meeting assembled, That in our opinion
the National Democratic Convention,
called to meet at Baltimore in July next,
should, for many and obvious reasons, re-
fuse to accede to the demands of design
ing politicians to place in nomination a
Democratic ticket, and that sound policy,
patriotic duty, and good faith, all de-
mand that the Democratic party should
support the candidates Of the Cincinnati
Convention.
The last resolution was adopted amid |
tumultuous applause and loud cheers.
Judge Weldon responded to calls of the |
audience, and entertained the audience |
with something of his experience and
observation as q resident of the South.
He spoke encouragingly Of the prospects
Of Greeley and Brown, expressing the be-
lief that the South will do even more than
is expected Of her.
DR.. Taber arose at the conclusion Of Mr..
w eltons remarks and made q short but
70 ry effective speech.
The Doctor was followed by Col. Lowe,
If Pulaski, who declared his adhesion to
he Liberal cause.
Mr.. Webb then briefly and eloqently
discussed the issues of the pending canvass,
and WAS followed by Mr.. Oberly.
Loud cries brought Capt. Hsmbleton to
The front, and his remarks brought down |
the house,

rousing cheers for Greeley.
