The people having, in the last Presidential con-
test, elected by an overwhelming popular and clear
electoral majority the Democratic candidates for
President and Vice President, and the will of the
nation thus constitutionally declared having been
wickedly and boldly nullifed by means of the
grossest usurpations and frauds of Returning
Boards, protected and adopted if not instigated by
the party in possession of the Government, and
rendered practicable by threatening array of mill
tary force;
Resolved, That at the first convention of Demo-
Gratis of this State held since the contamination of
this great crime it is not only just and fit but it is
the plain duty in the interest of constitutional gov

be used in Illegal and despotic oppression of citizens
| in any portion of the republic
Fostrth-That the present national administration
by its withdrawal of troops from the South and it's
cessation from miscellaneous, unconstitutional, and
oppressive interference with the internal affairs of
the States has in that respect reversed the vicious
| precedents of the Republican party, followed the
course marked out by the Federal constitution, and
| to which the Democrats stand pledged, and it is
therefore entitled in that particular to the approval
| of all good citizens.

monopolies; home rule; to limit and Iocalize most
jealousy the powers intrusted to public servants,
municipal, State and Federal no Capitalization :;
equal and exact justice to all men no partial legis-
! ton.
Sirth-That we are opposed to the granting of
subsidies by the Government to corporations or
| individuals for the construction of railroads or
other internal improvements as unnecessary, be-
! yond the scope of Federal power, and inevitably
producing corruption.

which the laboring classes have been for years SUBJ

patience, without disorder or violation of the pub
lie peace, and we declare that it is through the
benefceft operation of equal and just laws, favor
ing no class at the expense of another, stern
refusal the part Of legislative bodies TO yield to
the schemes of grasping monopolies, and the de-
crease of public expenditures and taxation to the
lowest practicable point, that the aboring classes
of the country with whom the Democratic party
has always strongly and inteligently sympathized)
are mainly to find effectual ind permanent relief.
