Resolved, That at this the first con-
vention OF the democrats of this state
since the contamination OF the great
crime, 1t is not only just and tit, but it
is the plain duty, in the interest of

denim and hold it up to universal exc

leaders was the president actually
chosen by the nation.
Resolved, That the present national
administration, by its withdrawal of
the troops from the south and It's ces.
sation from the mischievous, unoonsti-
tutlonal aud oppressive interference
with internal affairs OF thestates has, in
that respect, reversed the vicious pre-.
cedent of the republican party, follow
ed the course marked out by the federal
constitution and to which the demo-
Gratis stand pledged, and it is therefore
entitled in that particular to the APP
prevail Of all good citizens.

Internal improvements, as unnecessary
and beyond the scope of federal power
and inevitably leading to corruption.
