Tho Democratic Party, in Na-
tional CoiiyoiiUon assembled, repos-
ing its trust in thw in'eifigéneo, pa-
triotiem and discriminating justice
oí tho people, standing upon the
Constitution aa t.Jiu foundation and
kitatior, ot tho powers oí the Gov-
ernment, and tho guarantee of the
liberties of the oitiaoni, and recog-
nizing the quostion Of slavery arid
secession as having been suttied for
all the time to como, bf, the war or
the voluntary action of the South-
ern States, in Constitutional Con-
vention assembled, and never, to be
renewed or reagitatéd, do, with the
return of peace, demand— i v .
1. The immediate restoration ol
all the States to their rights in tho
Union, undor the Constitution, and
of Civil CiovernrueDt to the Ameri-
can people.
2. Amnesty for aH the past politi-
cal offences, and the regulation of
the elective franchise in the States
by their citizens, arid the payment
of the public debt of tho United
Skates as rapidly as practicable.
3. All money drawn from tbo
people by taxation, except so much
as is requisite for tho necessities of
the Government economically, ad*
ministered, to be honestly applied
to such payment, and where tho ob-
ligations of the Government do not
expressly state upon their face or
tho law under which they wore is-
sued does not provide that they
shall be paid in coin, they ought, in
right and justice, to be paid in tho
lawful money of the United States.
[Thunders of Applause, j
4. Equal taxation of every species
of property, according to its roal
valua, including Government bonds
and other public securities. [Re-
newed cwouring and orioa of "icad
again'/'} Vj /vl"vTv'J
5. One currency for the Governs
ment and the people, the laborer
and the office-holder, tho ' pension-
er and the soldier, tho producer and
tho bond holder. [Great cheering
and cries of "read it again."!
M Y*v. •> t ■' ■ « J i
The fifth resolution was again
rend arid again cheered.
G. Economy in the administration
of tho ííovernmont; the reduction
of tho standing army and navy ; the
abolishment of tho Freedmen's Bu-
roan [great cheers} and all political
iWBtrumentalitios designed to se-
cure negro supremacy ; tho si.mplw
ficasions of the system and discon-
tinuance-of the inquisitorial boards
of asse^ing and. C'jllecting internal
revenue, so that tho burton, of tnxa-
tton may bo equalized arid lessoned,
tbo credit of the Government and
tbe currency made good, theropeál
of all enactments for enrolling the
STato militia into national lorces'ffil
time ot peace, and a tariff for revq>
nuo upon foreign imports, and such
efyiral taxation under the internal
revonuo laws as will afford inciden
protection to domestic manufac-
tures,; and as will, without imparing
the rdVonup, impose the least bur.<
den upon and best promote and en-
courage the great industrial inter-
efits Ot the country.
1, The reform of abuses in tho
administration, tho expulsion of
corrupt men from Office, the abro-
gation of useless offices, t he restora-
tion of rightful authority, to, and
the independence of executive and
judicial department of the Govern-
ment, the subordination of the mili-
itary to the oivtl power, to the end
that tna usurpation ot Congross and
the despotism of tho sword may
cease.
8. .Equal rights and protection for
naturalized and native born citi-
zens at home und abroad. The as-
sertion of Am« 'ican nationality,
which shall command^ the respect
of foreign powers, furnish an exam-
ple and encouragement to poople
struggling for national integrity,
constitutional liberty and individu-
al rights, and the maintenance of
tb.p rights of naturalized citizens
against tho absolute doctrine of im-
mutable allegiance, and the claims
of lorcign powers to punish them
for alleged crime committed beyond
tboir jurisdiction. [Applauso]
Ir. demanding these moasnrosand
reforms we arraign the Radical par-
ty for i<* disregard of right, and iho
unpaíldleled oppresijoiú and tyran-
ny which have marked its career.
' After tho most solemn and unan-
imous pledge of both Houses of
engross to proseouto tho war ex-
dufiivcly for tho maintenanoo of
tbo Gbvornment and ¿ho preserva-
tion <wlho TJnion ntider tho Consti-
tution, it has iepoatedly violated
|tb¥t™mo6t sacted pledge ¿under
was rallied that noble volun:
t^jr army which carried <>ul' flag to
-Winwad of restoring the Union, it
lia , üb far ae was ip i|ft power, dis-
solved it, and subjected ton States
in a fcimooi profound peace to mili-
tary deopottsm and negro suprema

peace the right of the people to be
roe from search and seizures.
It has entered tho post and tele-
graph offices and even the private
looms of individuals, and seized
their private letters and papers,
without any specifications or notice
or affidavit as required by the or-
ganic law. . , , ,. .
It has converted tho American
Capital intova bastile.
It has established a system of
spies and official espoinage to which
no constitutional monarchy of Eu-
rope would now dare to resort.
It has abolished the right of ap.
peal on important constitutional
questions to tho supreme judicial
tribunal, and threatens to curtail or
destroy its original jurisdiction
which is irrevocably vested by the
Constitution, while the learned
Chief Juntice has been subjected to
groat and atrocious calumnies
merely because he would not pros-
titute bis high offico to the support
of the false and parlizan charges
preferred against the President.
Its corruption and extravagance
have exceeded anything known in
history, and by its frauds and mo
uopotjes it has nearly doubled
the burden ot the debt crea-
ted during the war. It has strip-
ped the President of his constitu-
tional power of appointment even
of his own cabinet.
Undor its repeated assaults, the
piliars of tho Government arerockw
ing on their base and, should it
quccoed in JNuvembor next, and in-
augurate its President wo will
moot as a subject and conquered
people amid the i uios of liberty and
the scattered fragments of the Con-
stitution; and wo do declaro and
resolve that, oven since the poople ol
the United States threw off all sub-
jection with the British crown tbo
privilege and trust of suffrage has
belonged to tho several States, and
have been granted, regulated and
controlled, exclusively by the polit-
cal power of «acb State, and any at-
tempt by Congress, on any pretext
whatover, to deprive any State of
this right, or interioro with this ex-
ercise, is a flagrant usurpation of
powor which can find no warrant
in tho Constitution, and, if sanc-
tioned by the people, will subvert
our form pf government, and can
only end in a single centralized,
consolidated government, in wbiwh
tho seperateoxistonoe of tho States
will i be entirely absorbed and an
unqualified despotism be established
in place of a Federal Unioo of equal
States. **®"-. t - '•'* '■
That wo regárd the reconstruc-
tion acts 6f Congress, so-called, as
usurpations, unconstitutional; revo-
lutionary and void.
That our soldiers and sailors who
carried the flag of our Country to
victory agaimét the most gallant
and determined toe, must ever bo
gratefully remembered, and all tho
guarantees given in their favor
must be faithfully carried into exe-
cution. i! -.i ■ • ' ■
That the public lands should be
distributed as widely among the
people as possible, and should be
disposed ot either under the pre-
emption, or the homestead ¡aw, sold
in reasonble quantities and to nono
but actual occupants at tho mini-
mum price as established by the
Government. When grants of pub-
lic jands 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 Unitod
States, Andrew Johnson, in exer-
cising tho power of hi* high office
in restating tho aggrossiona of Con-
gress on the Constitutional rights
of tbe States and the people, is en-
titled to the gratitude of the whole
American poople, and pn behalf of
the Democratic party wo tender
our thanks for bis palriotio efforts
in that regard. [Great Applause.J
Upon this platform the JJomo
cratic party appeal to overv true
patriot including all the Conserva-
tive element and ail woo desire
to support tho Oomiutauon and re-
storeUuion, forgetting an past ditf
erencés of opinion, to unite witn us
in the present struggle tor the liber-
ties of the poople, and that all such,
to whatever party they have here-
tofore belonged, wo extend tbe
right band of fellowship, and hail
all such co-operating with us as
frenda and biutbors. V:
