The Chairman OF the Committee on
Resolutions reported that the committee,
with great unanimity, recommended the
adoption of the following resolutions:
l. ReSolUed, That we hail with enthu.
siasm the uprising of the people in favor
OF reform in the public affairs as evil
denced in the union OF patriotic citizens
OF all parties to throw the weight OF mis-
government and restore the Jefersonian
standard 10 the administration.
2. That the condition Of the country is
such as TO demand the sacrifice Of past
prejudices. The tone Of the administra.
ton has been lowered; the civil service
has become corrupt; military power is too
readily resorted to; the bureaus at Wash.
ington have become centres of fayoritism
and jobbery, and the Southern States
under a system Of intolerable military
repression and dlctaton, had been sub.
jected to robbery and waste, which al.
ready imposed upon them nearly $4O0..
600 600 OF debt, expressing industry and
hlndering immigration, and by destroy.
ing their credit exposing the country 10
ruin and contagion Of reputation.
Sd. That the, federal administration, in
addition to its accumulated corruption, its
nepotism and extravaganza, its indifference
10 constitutional obligations, and It's sub
lection OF civil authority 10 arbitration,
surveillance and dictation, stands before
the country convicted OF infdelity to It's
pledge to restore peace to the distracted
people OF those States. It is now the
chief obstacle 10 the restoration of friendly
spirit between those sections and classes
OF the Union, and the moral, social and
industrial, as well as political interests
Of the country demands its removal from
power.
t. That the Republicans Of this State
who secured the power by pretense of
sympathy with reform, deserve the Sc.
yerest Judgment Of the people for their
falsity to their pledges. The record Of
the last session shows that they condor.
ed alike Senators who purchased, and
passed over without censure, the extor.
tOrtions Of their clerk. They violated
their oaths by making false and unjust
appointment oil Congressional districts:
encouraged personal and local legislation;
obeyed without resistance the dictation
OF great corporations; refused to en-
act reforms essential to the general
good, and laid themselves open 10 the
grossest charges OF venality and corrup.
tion. . - ..t.......
5. That pure judiciary is essential 10
the foundation Of a free State; we cOngrat.
ulate the people upon what has been done
to purify our existing system, and we de.
mand that the work Of reform shall go on
without regard TO party until our j1dicia.
~ shall stand acknowledged by the world
as free and independent.
G. That while we disclaim any right 10
interfere with the institutions Of our sister
States we deem II proper TO say that Il is
the duty ot both to educate and elevate
their colored citizens, 90 that they NAV
intelligently exercise the right of suffrage,
and, that we regard all attempts 10 com.
bine and array this body ofyoters against
the white population as in the highest de.
gree impolItic and equally injurious 10
both classes Of citizens Of the United
States. ..r ....0r 80
7. That the canals Of New York are
the property Of the people Of the state and
we repel all propositions to subject them
