Ktude of the Northern Demo cracy# K te rights upheld—negro HvfFRAGE opposed-president I ffiOH.VSO.Y SUSTAINED. H, inatter of information to our readers, in HL r that the people of the South may be i informed of the true policy and princl advocated by the Democratic party in Northern States, of the Union, we give ■ollowing resolutions of the recent Con ions of that party in the States of Penn mla, Ohio and Minnesota : Pennsylvania. ie Democratic State Convention which at Harrisburg on the 24tb, was presided by Richard Vaux The following •able and resolutions, reported by the . Jeremiah 8. Black, were unanimously 'hereas, It is the imperative duty and Id be the exclusive desire of every Ameri citizen intrusted with the power of con ing public affiirs by his vote or other , to see that they are administered with g'e eye to tbe great objects which our atuers had in view w-hen they laid the dations ot this Republic, viz: To form a : pe feot union ; estab.isb justice ; insure estic tranquility ; provide for the corn defense ; promote the general welfare, secure the blessings of liberty to our •s and our poster it}-, ',ereas, Tbe meu and the party adminis ig tbe Federal Government since 1861, : betrayed ’.heir trust, violated their sa obligatious, disregarded the commands ie fundamental law, corruptly squander lie public money, denied justice to the lie, perverted the whole Government from rigiuai purpose, and thereby have brought intold calamities upon the country; there clved, That wc, the Democracy of Penn unia, are now, and we always have been, iful to the union of the States, opposing secession of the South with our in ice, and having no sympathy or associa whatere 1- with that party in the North :h plotted against the Udion and pro- QCed the Constitution “a covenant with ,h and an agreement with hell.” :cond» That if the counsels of the Demo ic party had prevailed the Union would » been saved iu all its integrity and honor, lout tbe slaughter, debt and disgrace of t-il war. But when the formation of sec al parties in tbe North and in the South, tbe adveht of one of these parties into seals of power made war a fact which could not counteract, we sustained the itir bauds except a decent respect for our zal rights and some show of common hon ty in the management ot our financial af ira, but in both these particulars, we were end betrayed. Tnird. That the Constitution established r our revolutionary fathers is entitled to |r unqualified respect and obedience; the Ith to support it is binding, religiously, brally and legally, at all times, undei all rcumstances, and In every pait of the coun r ; upon all public officers, from the high t to the lowest, as well as upon private tizens; it is only by a strict observance of i provisions and a rigid enforcement of its ihgaiions iu all tbe States, that we can >pe foi u lion, liberty or peace. He who [fully violates it, or couus Is violation by her-, is a public enemy and dishonest man. ipplause-l Fourth. That among the rights guaran ;d to us by tbe plainest words of the Gon tutiou are these: Free prtss, freedom from bitrary arrest and illegal imprisonment, al by jury, the writ of habeas corpus, the rftet immunity of all persons not In tbe ny or navy from any spacles of punish •nt for crime or pretended crime which is t the legal consequence of a legal coavic n by an impartial jury, the absolute subor ration of all military power to the civil thority, and the privilege of white persons vote at the State elections, accordiug to e laws of the State. i jFifth. Tuat we fully concur with Presi- Ant Johnson in the conviction expressed by in 1860, and repeated several times £ce, that the Federal Government is sorer £n within its proper sphere ; that it acta apt through or upon the States, bui directly Kon individuals; that the States could not Bsolve the people from their tederal obliga tions ; that the dtate ordinances of secession lere nullities, and, therefore, when the at ■mpted revolution came to an end by the wbmission of the insurgents, the Stales were a much a part of the Union as they had t ien before, Their people were bound to t e same duties and clothed with the same I flits, excepting, of course, such rights as 1 alviduals among them had legally forfeited I r their own acts in the meantime, and we I ire by declare that so far as we can prevent J the resumption of their proper places in t ie Union by those States, some of whose Jltizens were lately in rebellion, shall not be impeded or delayed by the unlawful inter- Ifference of that faction at the North which wm always hostile to the Union, which now Wonounces it legally desolated, and which is .■till malignantly laboring to prevent its res- Epration. ■ Sixth. That the effort, now making by cer- Seia persons to use the power of the General Government with a view to force negro [•allrage oa the States against the will of the people and contrary to existing laws, is not opiy a high crime against the Constitution, I bht a deliberate and wicked attempt to put [ the States of this Union (all of them more or less and some ot them entirely) under the ijominauoa of negroes, to Africanize a large ■onion of the country, and degrade the white race, morally and socially as well as miuicaily, to the low level of the black- We ■ill not acknowledge the incapacity of our Hwn race to govern Itaelfi nor surrender the ■esiimes of the country into the bands of ne- Broes, nor put themselves under their guar- Kanship, nor give up to them the political Brivileges which we inherited from our fa ster*, and we extort our brethren in other States to take up the same attitude and main tain it firmly. [Cheers ] Seventh. That we will support President (Johnson in every just effort he may make to blace all the States in their proper positions, to give to them a fair representation in Con gress, to save them from the curse of negro •quality; he shall have our hearty approval Wben he inflicts legal punishment by means Os legal tribunals upon offenders against the United States, and we will be with him in •very means which looks to the maintenance •f the public credit. But our full approval Os his administration eon be founded only in the belief that he will execute the law, the whole law, and nothing but the law, in all •arts of the countrythat he will hot allow the military to interfere with State election* that he will punish kidnapping and robbery through the legal authorities, whether com mitted by Federal officers or private citizens, and that he will suffer no person to be mur dered by Military Commission, and upon these measures there can bt no compromise; be that ia not for us is against us. Eighth. That in view of our enormous na tional debt, the great weight of our State taxes, and the local burdens imposed upon us in divers ways, economy and retrench ment becomes an important duty of all our representatives, and to this end the vast standing army now on foot ought to be dis banded, the navy should be reduced, and tbe corrupt and extravagant practiced, lately in troduced into the Government should be to tally abolished. Ninth. That our revenue laws need to he carefully revised iu such manner that while the public credit will be maintained and the national hbnor preserved, taxation will be" equal and just. Tenth: That the gallant soldiers of tbe Republic, who so nobly risked their rives in defense of the Union and the Constitution, merit and will receive the undying gratitude of the American people. Living, they shall live in our warmest affections, and dying, their memories will be cherished for all time to come. To say, as our political opponents do, that they fought and bled and died man fully for the freedom of the negro, is a gross insult on their patriotism, and an outrage which will be indignantly resented by tbeir surviving comrades through the ballot-box. Eleventh : That the noble manner in which the Democratic press of this Commonwealth have contended in the defense of the liber ties of the nation, amid trials and difficulties almost unparalleled, is deserving of our grate fill recogultion, and should entitle it to the encouragement of overy Constitution-loving citizen. Twelfth: That wc re-affirm our adherence to tbe Montroe doctrine. Adopted unanimously. Ohio. Cincinnati, August 26. —The Democratic State CoDAention assembled at Columbus yesterday, and organized by electing Hon. Rufus P Ranney, President." The following ticket for State officers was then nominated: Governor—Gen. George W. Morgan. Lieut-Gevernor—Wm. Lang. Judges of the Supreme Court—P. Van Trump, and Thomas M Key. State Treasurer—George Spence. Attorney General—Daniel M. Wilson. School Commissioner—ll. H. Barney. Engineer for tha Board of Public Works— C. Basil. Clerk of the Superior Court—H. 8. Doner. The Committee on Resolutions then re ported a series which, in substance, are as follows: Opposing a consolidation of all power in the hands of the Federal Government; maintaining the doctrines of State Rights as laid down in the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of 1798; declaring that the or dinance of secession adopted by the South ern States being null and void, they are still in the Union as States, entitled to all their reserved rights and to their due representa tion in Congress; denouncing all effijrts to Confer the right of suffrage upon negroes; discouraging the emigration of negroes into tbe State; complimenting tbe soldiers for their valor and fortitude during all the trying scenes of the war; regarding the national debt as a national curse; demanding the most rigid economy in the administration of affairs; recommending that a national tax be collected by the County Treasurer for this purpose as far as possible ; recommending that tbe military commutation be repealed; earnestly denouncing the arrest of citizens by military authority in States where the civil tribunals are open, and declaring that the continued suspension of the writ of ha beas corpus since the termination of the war; the denial of tbe right of trial by jury, and the interference with elections by tbe mili tary power, as was recently done in the States of Kentucky and Tennessee, are vio lations of the Constitution of the United States. The last resolution declares, that while we resolutely condemn all infractions upon the Constitution, and while we regret that terms of pacification agreed to by Major General Sherman in April last were not at once ratified by the Federal Executive, we will nevertheless stand by President John son in ail constitutional eSorts to restore to the States the exercise of their rights and and powers. The resolutions were adopted. Speeches were then made by General Mor gan, Hon. Clement L. Vallandigham, and Hon. James L. Pugh. Minnesota. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AT THE STATE CONVEN TION, ST. PAUL, ACO. 16. 1. Resolved, That men of all parties rejoice together in the return of a peace which has restored the integrity of the Federal Union and vindicated its power; and that if is the policy of wisdom as well as duty of the Ad ministration to adopt such measures of coi ciliatinn as Will originate the era of fraternal feeling, and reunite tbe lately discordant States in the bonds of a perfect Union. 2. Resolved, That while we deplore the death of our honored Chief Magistrate, taken off by the hand of as assassin at a moment untimely and critical, we recognize with the highest satisfaction the attitude of his suc cessor in the leading measure of his admin istration—which recognizes the sovereignty and ignores tbe suicide of States; that we pledge to his administration our cordial and united support so long and so far as he ad heres to the fundamental and historic dogmas of the government, which in the past have been cardinal doctrines of the democratic faith. 3. Resolved, That the pronounced hostility of the republican press and leaders to Presi dent Johnson's policy of reorganization, coupled as it Is With the avowed deter mination to adopt the revolutionary alterna tive of rejecting members ot Congress trom the States lately in rebellion, unless elected ttpon tbe basis of negro suffrage, is not mere ly calculated to embarrass the advent of peace and the return of friendly relations, but is hostile to the leading idea upon which the war has been fought—a falsification of 1 pledges—-subversive of republican govern ment, and forebodes issues of antagonism I between races, which threaten not only to ! reimperil the peace of the country, but to i destroy the very people in whose behalf it , professes to originate. I 4. Resolved, Thai we accept with unfeigned satisfaction the extinction of slavery as an accomplished result of the war, and as an acknowledged condition of peace. r>. Resolved, That the continued suspen sion of the writ of habeas corpus in States and districts where civil courts exercise their functions unobstructed, the arrest and trial of offenders not in the naval or military ser vice of the United States, by military tribu nals, the suppression of iree discussion of public measures, as in Tennessee, the sup pression of newspapers, and the nullifica tion of as in Virginia; and the prevention of tree elections, as in Kentucky— . merit and Will receive the indignant denun ciation of every patriotic citizen of the Re public. They are lawless invasions by arbi trary power upon rights sacred to freemen, an fl‘loftnldable to tyrants only." The national debt is about three thousand millions of dollars—a sum equal to about one quarter of all the taxable property of the Usltad State*—end la drawing a rate o| interest which has pcoved to be ruinous; and Whereas, The evidences of this debt znain lTpurchased with depreciated currency, Coo sffittte at present the' principal sod & de SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER I, 1865~ signed ultimately to constitute the entire banking capital of the country—and are ex empted from taxation, thus exonerating the major portion of the active capital of the country from sharing the burdens imposed by the war and imposing upon the lands and the labor of the people burdens which must result in practical repudiation—therefore Reso/ved, That the only escape consistent with justice lies in a policy which proposes to absorb our standing bonds by new issues bearing a less rate of interest subject to taxa tion, and secured by a pledge os the entire revenues ot the Government except so far as they may be needed to defray Us current ex penses. England and France established the wisdom and necessity cf such a policy, and furnished precedents in the light of which creditors erf the Government have purchased its securities. 7. Resolved, That sound economy recom mends that each State should be assigned its several proportion of the public debt for col lection, to tbe end that the people may be relieved from the payment of an army of na tional tax gatherers, the expense of which enormous “peace establishment” it is esti mated will about equal the entire present indebtedness before the period expires for its extinguishment. 8. Resolved That Congress has not the power to exempt from taxation by tbe States for State objects the revenues of citizens, and we therefore recommended that the next Legislature provide for the taxation of in comes derived from national bonds in such manner as to equalize the burdens of the people. 9. Resolved, That the Democracy adhere to their ancient principle of legislation, express ed by the maxim “ the greatest good to the greatest number.” We are, therefore, op posed to a protective tariff, the operation of which will build up monopolies in tbe East at the expense of the farms and industry of the West. 10. Resolved, That we are opposed to any union of church and State, as contemplated by the ruling elements of the Republican party, and in favor of the largest liberty of conscience, as declared in the Constitution of the United States. 11. Resolved, That tbe encroachments of European powers upon American nationali ties should be guarued against and opposed by such forces as may be needed, and that we pledge our support to the application and enforcement of the Monroe doctrine to the present condition of the Mexican Republic. 12. Resolved, That we are opposed to con ferring the elective franchise upon the ne groes of this State ; that the immediate en franchisement of this enervated and igno rant race would introduce into our system an eliment of disaffection, daDger and cor ruption ; would be productive of injury so the blacks themselves, would disturb our system ot labor, our social organization, and make the State of Minnessota, a place of refuge for the scum of Southern slavery. 13. Resolved, That we are opposed to the contemplated location of Indians upon our frontier ; that the blood of those who have been butchered, tbe losses of those who have been marauded upon, the security of our border, the good name and prosperity of our State, demand enlightened councils and vig orous action. 14. Resolved, That, should Congress neg lect to provide, it is the duty of the Legis lature to adopt speedy and efficient meas ures to repay, in a suitable and ample man ner in the debt which Minnesota owed to the glorious men whose wounas are badges of heroic sacrifice for the integrity of the Union and the honor of tbe State. 16. Resolved, That we consecrate the per petual gratitude the soldiers of Minnesota who have returned from the field of their fame ; that to the “dead will live” the State will erect a monument which shall fitly me morialize the gratitude of our State and the glory of her sons. Brutal Murder near Opelika —A Young Last Shot and Horribly Mutilatbd.— We gather the following details of a heart-rend ing tragedy which has just been enacted in the neighborhood ot Opelika, Ala., irom the Record of the 7th inst: Our community was startled yesterday evening by learning that the body of ajouug lady had been found in Frazier's mill-pond, some four miles from tiriP))lace, on the even ing previous. We give the sad intelligence as we received it: It appears that a young man by the name of Gillespie, while attending to some busi ness near the above named pond, saw the body of a human being rise to the surface of the water. He immediately set to work at getting the body ashore. This being done, it was found to be a young lady, apparently some fifteen or sixteen years old, who had first been shot, then had her bead, arm and leg cut off, and the body thrown into the pond. No clue has been given as to what this un fortunate lady’s name was, or the where abouts of the fiend who perpetrated the bloody deed. The inference is that her per son was first violated, and then murdered in order to prevent tbe punishment of the vil lain who committed the foul deed. We do not think that the young lady be longed in this immediate neighborhood. We hope that our military and civil au thorities will leave nothing undone that wonld be instrumental in bringing about tbe arrest of the murderer. We respectfully sug gest that a large reward be offered by the citizens of tbe adjoining counties, as well as our own, for the arrest of the guilty party. The Right of Suffrage.—' The right of suffrage is limited to “white male citizens” by the Constitutions of the following North ern. Middle and Western States: Pennsyl vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Michigan, lowa, Wisconsin, Califor nia, Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas, Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia. In some of the Western States, persons of Indian de scent are permitted to vote, but negroes are disfranchised by all of the above-named States. In the State of New York, negroes, where they possess certain property qualifi cations, are permitted to vote, but they are not placed upon terms of equality with the white inhabitants ot that State. In Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont and Rhode Islandi free negroes are permitted to vote without any special restrictions upon the right ot suffrage, and at the ballot-box they are the equals pf the white men of those States. In Connecticut, only those negroes vote who were freemen prior to 1818. From this statement it will be seen that seventeen, and among them the largest, wealthiest and most populous of the “loyal States" deny to the negro the right of sui frage; two permit certain classes of free ne groes to vote, and five place no restrictions upon the negro franchise. The State of Oregon expressly provides “that no negro, Chinaman nor mulatto shall vote." Fire and Loss of Life In New York* A fire broke out about half-past 4 o’clock, on Friday afternoon, in the pyrotechnic es tablishment of Mr. J. T. Janes, on the first floor of No. 1C John street. New York, caused by tbe explosion of some of the fire works. The upper floor is occupied as a fur manufactory by Harris <& Russack, in which were employed several girls, and on the alarm being given they bnrried down stairs. The flames rapidly extended to the second floor, andßn endeavoring to escape, one of the named Catherine Cieves, and a man named John Filo, fell. The man, however, succeed in gaining the street, terri bly burned about the lace and body; bat the yoang womsm metjt firightful death, being burned to a crisp. The first and second floors ot 'he building were destroyed and consider able damage done to the stock in the upper floors. The loss will amount to about $30.- 900—mostly insured. Fiatriclde la New Jrr,ry—A Juvenile Murderer. fFrom the Trenton American, Aug. 24.] A truly heart-rending affair occurred at the residence of John AL Nixon, on the farm of Joseph J. Budd, near Lumberton, on Tuesday morning about 10 o'clock. A diffi culty arose between Edwin and Isaac Nixon, sons of John M. Nixon—the former aged 18 and the latter 19—which resulted in Edwin going into the house, getting his gun and shooting his brother Isaac, killing him almost instantly. An inquest was held by Justice Holeman. The verdict ; of the jury was to the following effect: That the said Isaac Nixon came to bis death by tbe discharge of a double-bar reled gun, in the hands of his brother, Ed win Nixon, and pointed at the said Isaac, which the said Edwin knew to be loaded— the discharge of said gnn taking effect in the right breast of Isaac, canting almost inatant death. Young Edwin was committed to prison to await the action of the Grand Jury. On his way to Mount Holly he stated that be did not intend to shoot nis brother, and that he was in tbe act of turning around to go away as the gun went off. After he shot hia brother he went to the bouse, taking the gun with him, and soon after shot off tbe other barrel, remarking, as he did so, that that was the last time he should ever shoot that gun. Tbe $1,500,0000n Board tbe Golden Rnle- A Revenue Cutter to be Seat to tbe Wreck. The revenue cutter Cuyahoga, Capt. John Faunce commanding, left New York on Sat urday last, for the Carribeau Sea for tbe pur pose of endeavoring to recover the balance of the $1,600,000 which went down in the Golden Rule when she was wrecked on her passage to San Juan. Mr. Victor Smith, agent of the Treasury Department, after being five weeks on the reef, assisted by divers and two wrecking schooners, has re covered onty about $140,000, which were in a safe. The Cuyahoga will take out experi enced divers, and it is possible that other portions of the large sum may be recovered, although it is highly probable that it will be in a condition wholly useless for circulation. The Treasury Department desire to be cer tain that it has been destroyed, or forever lost, so that they can strikojt off their books, and if needed issue other notes in their place. The Cuyahoga will probably be absent sev eral weeks. Indictment of Rebel General Officer.. Harrisburg, Aug. 24. The Grand Jury of Franklin county have returned true bills against the late rebel offi cers, General McCausland, Major Gllmor, and Captain Smith tor arson, and others are pending lor highway robbery against Smith and Gilroor, and murder against McCausland. Requisitions have been issued by Gover nor Curtin upon Gov. Coreman, of West Virginia, aud upon Gov. Pierpont, for the rendition of Smith. It is understood that the late rebel Gen. Jubal Early will also be indicted for murder, arsc-D, and highway robbery, as his older was shown in Cnamberaberg, directing the freebooters’ tribute to be levied, and in de fault of payment that the town should be burned. Recent arrivals from the Pacific coast re port the burning ot six more whaling vessels by tbe Shenandoah, in the Northern seas. MUULERI, HARM. it WtL H.
