IMPORTANT POLITICAL MOVE
MENT.

The resolutions of the Democracy OF
Allen county, Ohio, have attracted ne
little attention from the press and among
the people; hence, We give them place
in our columns:
Whereas, The events Of the last decade
have demonstrated the fact that the tend
ency of those intrusted with the affairs
of the Government is to disregard the in
terests of the people for the attainment
of selfish purposes; and
Whereas, The open, high-handed and
glaring corruption OF the servants of the
people in squandering the public bonds
upon pet corporations, in the Credit Mo-
biiier frauds and in the action Of the
Congress of the United States in and
about the passage of the infamous Act
commonly called the Slavery bill, " by
which the servants OF the people pur-
Joined from the public treasury vast
sum OF money over and above the
amount for winch they agreed TO serve
them. it now becomes the duty of the
people, made imperative by every con
sideration of manhood, selt-respect aud
Self-preservatlon, to arise in their might,
irrespective OF former political alliances,
and hurl from power and position every
man whose honor has been so cheaply
exchanged for pelf as no longer fit 10 be
intrusted with the affairs Of free and
enlightened people; and
. Whereas, Corruption in appalling pro
portions peryades all the political ave
nues of the country, so that public con-

and whereas. the sole purpose of the
Democratic party is, and ought to be,
the promotion of the public interests and
the preservation of the honor OF the
people, and whereas, both Of the pollti-
cal parties have demonstrated that they
are powerless to check or control the
existing tendency toward the utter de-
moralization of the politics of the coGn-
try; therefore,
Resolved, By the Democracy OF Allen
county, in convention assembled, that
We invite the people of the State OF Ohio,
without regard to past political asssocia-
tons, to meet at Columbus in mass con-
vention, on the Both day of July next to
take such action as the exigences Of the
times demand.
Resolved, That all governments de-
rive their just power from the consent Of
the governed, and that a strict construc-
ton of the Constitution, coupled with Il
rigid observance OF its provisions IN the
enactment of all laws, is our only pro-
lection against Capitalization and cOnse-
quent despotism.
Resolved, That men elected to posi-
tons of honor, trust and profit, do not
thereby become the rulers of the people,
but are their servants, and therefore
amenable to the people for every breach
OF confidence or violation of trust, and
should be held to the strictest account
OF their official conduct
Resolved, That the President Of the
United States, by his readiness t. APP
prove a bill by which he has been ena,
bled to pocket SO, 900 per annum extra
pay has published himself TO the world
as the most sOrdid OF all who worship at
the shrine of Mammom.
Resolved, That we have with pride
viewed the official career of Charles y
Lamison, our member OF Congress, as &
true representative Of the people, up t.
the time he gave his countenauce TO th'
salary bill
Resolved, That after mature delibera
ton, and without any feeling OF passion
we do hereby declare rs the unanimous
sentiment of the people of Allen county
that Charles n. Lamison, by his actor
in voting for and accepting an increas
of his salary, has forfeited the conf
dence of the people; and We demand G
him that at the next session of Congress
he do all in his power to effect an M
conditional repeal of the law that h
return to the Treasury of the Unite
States the money by him received /
excess of the contract price of his sci
vice, or that he resign his seat in Cor
