r«!n«wod or raftifitated. do, with the
return of peace, demand—
1. The itaiu^diat) r<^toration oí
all tho States to their right in tho
Union, under the Constitution, and
of Civil Government to the Ameri-
ealoMriref, ánd the regrilntmn of
the elective franchise in the States
by their citizens, and the payment
of Uhe public debt ot the United
States as rapidly as practicable.
& A1J, nynoy d^wn ftana the

as is requisite for the necessities of
the Government economically, ad>
ministered, to be honestly applied
to such payment, and where the ob-
ligations of the Government do not
expressly eta< 5 upon tfyair t&oe or
tho Ivhicfc thoy wére is«
sued docs not provide that they
shall be paid in coin, they ought, in
right and justice, to bo paid in the
lawful money of the United States.
[Thunders oI4j^iau%a.]
4. Equal taxation of every species
of property, according to its real
value, including Government bonds
and other public securities, [fie-
newed caeering and cries of "read
again."]
5. One currency for the Govorns
ment and the people, the laborer
and tho office-holder,'the pension-
er and the soldier, the producer and
lüfc bond holder. [Great oheerijig
ónd criés of "read it again."}
The fifth reeohition was
read and again c-heered.
6. Economy in the administration
of the Government; the reduction
of the standing army and navy ; the
abolishment, of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau [great otaeern] and all politioal
instrumentalities designed to se-
cure negro supremacy ; the simpli-
fications of the system and discon
tinuanoe of the inquisitorial boards
of assessing and cpllectin| internal
revenue, bp that the burden of taxa-
tion may be equalized and lessened,
the tr«dft c*i the GcvernmegV and
the «urrenoy mac(« good, the repeal
of all onact merits fbr enrolling the
State militia into national torces in
time of peace, and a tariff for reve>
nue upon foreign imports, and such
equal taxation under the internal
revalue laws as will afford inciden-
tal protection to domestió-manufac-
ture^ and as will, without imparing
the revenue, impose the least bur^.
don upon and best promote and on-
oourago tho great industrial inter-
est pi the country.
The reform of abuses in tho
administration, thp expulsion of
oorrupt men from office, the abro-
gation of Useless offices, the restora-
tion#! rightful authority to, and
the independence of executive and
judicial department of the Govern-
'meat* the subotdination of the mili-
itaryto Ihe civil power, to the end
that the usurpation of Congress and
the despotism of tho sword may
cease.
8. Equal rights and protection for
naturalized aud native born citi-
zens at hotno ahd abroad. The as-
stjriion of American nationality,
whioh shall command the respect
©f ÍOftjign powers, furnish an exam-
plp^lna encouragement to people
straggling tor national integrity,
constitutional liberty And individu-
al rights, and the maintenance of
the rights of naturalized citizens
against the absolute doctrine of im-
mutable allegiance, and the claims
of tdfoign powers to punish them
for alleged crime committed beyond
their jurisdiction. [Applauso.]
Io demanding these measures and
f&totons we arraign tho Radical par-
ty ft* its disregard of right, and tho
unp$fallolcd oppression and tyran-
ny miioh have marked its career.
After the mOst solemn and unan
imouB pledge of both Houses of
Congress to prosecute the war ex-
clusively iorHhe maintenance of
the ffovignmfcnt and the preserva-
tion #f the Union under the Consti-
tution, it has repeatedly violated
that most saeied pledge under
which was rallied that noble volun-
teer army which carried our flag to
$otory.
l&atead of restoring the Union, it
HÜSfio far as was in its power, dis-
aolvóíi it, and subjected ton St.nt<yi
in a time of profound peace to mili-
tary despotism and negro suprema-
cy. ' Tr -
It baa nullified there

grnpb offices aníí ovt>n the private
looms of individuals, and seized
their prívete letters and papen?,
without any specifications or notice
or affidavit as repaired by tbo or-
ganic law. -J'"
it hiw oonvfrfed tho American
Capital into abastile.
It hak oftUbliabed a system of
spiosand official espoinage to which
no constitutional monarchy of Eu-
rope would now dare to resort.
It has abolished tho right of ap-
peal on important constitutional
questions to the supremo judicial
tribunal, and threatens to curtail or
destroy its original jurisdiction
which is irrevocably vested by the
Constitution, while, the learned
Chief Justice has been subjected to
groat and atrocious calumnies
merel}* because he would not pros-
titute Ins high.office to tho support
of the false and partizan charges
preferred against the President.
Its corruption and extravagance
have oxceeaed anything known in
history, arid by its frauds and mo
uopolies it has nearly doubled
the burden of the debt crea-
ted daring the war. It has strip-
ped the President oí bis constitu-
tional Mwer of appointment even
of his <wn cabinet.
Under its repeated assaults, the
pillars of tho Government are rocks
ing on their base and, should it
succeed in November next, and in-
augurate its President we will
meet as a subject and oonquerod
people amid tho rajoa*>f liberty and
the,scattered fragments m the Con-
stitution; and we do declaro and
resolve that, even since the people of
the United Stateá throw off all sub-
jection with the British crown the
privilege and trust of suffrage has
belonged to tho sevoral States, and
have been granted, regulated and
controlled, exclusively by the polit-
cal power of each State, and any at-
tempt by Congress, on any pretext
whatever, to deprive any State of
this right, or interfere with this ex-
ercise, is a flagrant usurpation of
power which can find no warrant
in the Constitution, and, if sanc-
tioned by the people, will subvert
our form oí government, and can
only end in a single centralized,
consolidated government, in which
the seperato existence of the States
will be entirely absorbed and an
unqualified despotism be established
in place of a Federal Union of equal
States. ;,r. r i...
That we regard the reconstruc-
tion acts of Congress, so-called, as
usurpations, unconstitutional, revo-
lutionary and void.
That our soldiers and Bailors who
carried the flag of our country to
viotory against tho most gallant
and determined toe, must ever be
gratefully remembered, and all tho
guarantees givea in their favor
must be faithfulh carried into exe-
cution.
That the public lands should be
distributed as widely among the
people as possible, and should be
disposed of either under the pre-
emption, or the homestead law, sold
inreasonble quantities and to none
but actual occupants at the mini-
mum. price as established fcy,« the
Government. When grants of pub-
lic lands may be deemed necessary
for the encouragement of important
public improvements, the proceeds
of sale of such lands, and not the
lands themselves, should be aps
plied.
That the President of the United
States, Andrew Johnson, in exor-
cising the power of hi high office
in resisting tho aggressions of Con-
gress on , the Constitutional rights
of the States and the people, is en-
titlod tó the gratitude of the whole
American people, and on behalf of
the Democratic party wo tender
our thanks for his patriotio efforts
in that regard, [ftreat Applause.]
Upon this platform the Demo-
cratic party appeal to every true
patriot including aii the Conserva-
tive element and ail wno desire
to support the Constitution and re-
store Uu^m, forgetting all past diff-
erences W/ opinion, to Unite with us
in the present struggle for the liber-
ties of the poople, and that all suoh,
to whatever party they have here-
tofore belonged, we extend the
right hand ot fellowship, and hail
all such co-operating with us as
fronds and brothers.
