Wholesale DenHnciati0n Of the Back-Pay
Scheme and All Connected with
tits Repeal Demanded.

UTICA, N. Y, October 2.-The Demo-
cratic convention met this morning, and
the resolutions were read. The series
opens by inviting the cooperation of all
citizens who agree with the convention
in certain fundamental principles enun-
eisted by Thomas Jefferson, including
the support of State governments in al
their rights, and the supremacy of the
civil over the military authority. The
congressional salary bill, and members
who voted for it, and all who have
taken back-pay, and President Grant
who signed the bill, are denounced, and
the repeal of the bill demanded. The
Republican party is pronounced utterly
unworthy the confidence of the people
for having permitted the credit-mobilier
frauds to pass unpunished, in which its
two vice-presidents, and more than one
offs United States senators, and its five
chairmen of the five chief COMMITTEES of
the house of representatives were guilty
participants, and the two foremost de-
tenders of which have been rewarded by
that party's head-one with q foreign
mission, and one with the use of the
federal patronage to elect him
governor of q neighboring State. The
interference Of the federal authority in
the affairs Of Louisiana is denounced,
and revenue tariff is demanded which
shall stop enriching one section at the
expense of the other section. Specie
payments are also demanded. The
resolutions are closed by recognizing the
Liberal Republican party as worthy
coadjutoTs.
RcsotUed, That in the midst of these
widespread calamities and this general
destress we scout the Presidents pill for
panie-mOre imitation, more subsidies,
and more ballOOning-aDd we point the
country to the true remedy and cure in
the tried and historic principles Of the
old Democracy as applicable through
out our national, State and municipal
life, which limit and localize the jeal-
ousy of power entrusted to public SER
wants; which inforce honesty and fru-
gality in public and private affairs:
which prescribe equal taxation for all,
and a currency as good as gold, and we
hold out to the farmers OF the United
States the right hand of hearty fellow
ship in their just resistance TO the ex-
actions OF nlonopolies, and their lust
demands for these great reforms.
ReSotVed, That We recognize in liberal
worthy coadjutors, and we
especially invite them 30 unite with US
in our efforts TO restore q pure govern
meDt in our State and federal adminis-
rations.
