be no sound currency but coin, or paper

without speedy return to which national
disaster threatens; that the whole sytem of
civil service needs reform; that military
authority be subordinate to civil that
single presidential term is enough that
local self governm mt is the basis of free
government, and that forcble interference
with this right of states usurps it; that
social, civil and political tests discriminat-
ing race and color are fatal to equal and
exact justice to all men that the original
and the amendme is of the fed consti-
tuition are ob!iga DRY in their text, spirit
and in their judicial exposition, subject
neither to executive capIices nor the ext
gencies of personal government; that
free press is the bulwark of free men that
municipal rights be respected, monopolies
repressed and economy in public expendi-
lures observed; that the minimum of taxa
ton be secuted, pc ators punished, ard
corruption of the public morals banished;
that canal reform be upheld aud the school
fund be sacredly devoted to our present
system Of commoi hool and that the
appropriations Of tie peoples money to
sectarian uses cease that bril- cry and cor
ruption are the @ nSer of the body polite
and should be pursued throug a. their
subtle forms, and The guilty punished.
Resolved, II at, while official trusts are
inherent in our syst I'M and honest and
capable incumbents in them are esq initial,
to the admini,trati m of every good govern
ment that intrusion of ofiiceholders into
the machinery of politics and their active
participation in nominating conventions is
| notorious abuse, at once offensive to pub
lie decency and productive of unmitigated
evil. We therefore deno1nce the practice
and demand their exclusion from future
political conventions
Resolved, That we condemn the national
administration for its illegal and oppressive
acts, for ITS retention of corrupt men in
Office, for its shifting aad unstable policy
in the administration of finances, for its in
flation of the currency, its fraudulent pre-
fences TO the contra Notwithstanding, for
its extravagant expenditures and its gene
raj disregard fer an intelligent public
opiuion. ."ltr .9tt., i'
Resolved, That with every advocrate of
honesty in public affairs, we rejoice in the
prospect that a gang of confederated
thieves wihia the canal ring, who have
preyed upon the people OF the state, shal
be pursued ard subjected to con-
dign punishment, aud while this
contamination has been publicly prayed
for by the liberals, hey by no means stint
a generous measure OF praise due, irrespec'
tive Of political considerations, to Hon.
Samuel ]. Tilden, GREAT applause, leader
