The following are the resolutions adopted by the Convention : Ite$ohed, That the Democratie party seeks to revive no dead issues, but stands by its principies, which are suited to all times and oircumstances ; supports the Federal governmeut in all constitutional authority, and regards at this day, as Jefferson did in his day, the true province of a republican government to be the protection of rights, and not of interests ; defends the reserved rights of the State and people, and opposes centralization that would impair or destroy the constitutional rights or independence of other departments, as the Executiv9 and Legislative Departments, under their rule, have done in overslaughing the honest opinions of the Suprerne Court of the United States by increasing their number, and the appointment of new judges who are subservient to the executive and legislativa will. We hold that the nearer approximation that eau be made to universal free trade the greater will be the advantage to the Federal government. The people of Massachusetts insiston the substitution of a banking system that shall not cost the people a higher percentage to créate a currency in a few hands to loan at their own pricos to the industiial masses than any olher people pay for money loans wherewith to unfold their enterprises and compénsate the labors of the nation.
