Mr.. Kelley presented the following:
Resol,ed, That the National Democratic
Convention would be recreant to its para
mount obligation to the country and to pub

ton involving no issue more material IMAM
that of maintaining or postponing the period
OF rcsuming specie payments to interfere
with its supreme duty Of rescuing this Gov
eminent from the lawleSs faction which now
plumbers it at home and dishonors 1t abroad.
Resolved, That the effort to magnify this
issue at the expense Of the great objects OF
economy and reform, which all honest men
admit to be the urgent demand OF the nour,
NAV serve the purposes of those who desire
to divert public scrutiny from the corrup-
ton, tyranny, and dishonesty by which the
Radical party has made the name OF re-
public scorn amid the nations, but should
receive no countcnance at the hands OF the
Conservative people Of the Union, who may
well tolerate differences OF OPINION on tnls
question OF policy to secure harmonious CO.
operation in the vastly more vital questions
touching the nations honor and liberty,
which arc now pressing for decision, ana
on which good men OF all parties should
be agreed. >,
Resolved, That this Convention deems it
