Wc publish thin morning a scries of
resolutions adopted by tho Democracy
of Montgomery county, Ohio, and call
to them the particular nttcntion of our
Democratic friends. Our readers have
not forgotten the fact that for yeain
TllK Hulletin has advocated the poli
cies to which three resolutions giro ex
pression ; nnd we dosirc to now fert,
and to assert, too, in a manner so ex
plicit tint our meaning cannot he mis
understood, that all the principles in
these resolution. onUliclald. moot our
hearty iiidon-cmciit and ahull receive
from us udvocacy at once, earnest and
untiring. It i our opinion, funned
with deliberation, that the line marked
out by these resolutions is the oik; on
1 which tho 'Democracy must hereafter
fight if they hope to achieve victory at
the polls. Hut, even with a platform
sound nnd dicncumbcn:d of the rub-

lein they .shall havo the wisdom to nom
inate a man from who! record the
Radical cannot procure the missies of
anti-warbim, which in their hands have
been formidable in the past and will
yet for a tirao be potent in the precnt.
Wo must 0 by the favorites of the
party must atranglc personal feeling
in devotion to the caue of the Repub
lic clow; our cars to the appeal of
prejudice, and place upon a pound plat
form, in which every plank is vital with j
the true principle." of practical Democ
racy, a man whoM! present devotion to
the party is above suspicion and whote
war record cannot be brought into re
proach. Such n man is ex-Senator
James 11. Doolittle, of WifconHin, who
for the past six years has acted with
the Democratic party, nacrificing place
and hopes of future preferment to his
devotion to the Constitution and the
cause of good government. During
the war he was the right hand of Presi
dent Lincoln in the Senate, his friend
and confidant, and if he had bowed tbe
knee to the ltaal of Radicalism might

have commanded his owu price j but
disdaining to bartur his honor, cutting
asuuder the political ties which bound
him to the Republican party, burying
in forgetfulncjs all his political preju
dices, when Radicalism made its de
parture towards despotism and began
the crusade of congressional recon
struction, JnmeA R. Doolittle denounced
the tyrannical policy of bis polit
ical paatisans and took his place in the
ranks of the Democratic party. Since
that time his voice has bceu heard in
denunciation of every attempt of Radi
calism to fasten upon the limbs of the
Republic the shackle of despotism.
Honest and brave in the past, earnest
and practical in the present, able and
capable, with a record from which the
Republicans can draw nothing that can
prejudice honest and patriotic members
of their party, James R, Doolittle
stands to-day the most available candi
date of thu Democratic party for the
presidency in 1872. Ho would rally to
his support tho united Democratic
party. A liOHt of Republicans would
also cast for him their ballots, and thus
would lite election be secured by a tri
ainphant majority.

Dayton, O, May 18. Tho new depart
ure,' as Inspired by Mr. Vallandlgham,
was proclaimed to-day at the meeting ot
the Montgomery C'junty Democratic Con
vention, which met for tho purpose of ap
pointing delegates to tho Stato Convention.
There was an unusually largo' attendance
of tho leading professional and business
men of both city and county, and tho ut-
moit enthusiasm and harmony prevailed
throughout tbe entire proceeding. The
lieu revelation dictated by Mr.Vullandig
lura received unanimous indorsement. M r.
Vallandlgham supplemented tho platfurm
with a carefully written speech. Tho res
olutions aro as follows, prepared by him
self: Wubkkap, Tho Democratic parly of 1871
Is made up ot tnon who, previous to und
during thu lato war, also fur a time
9iw, entertained totally different opin
ions, and supported totally opposlto meas
ures a to the questions nnd issues of tliojo
times; mid,
WiiEUEAS, It Is reasonable to assumo
that theso samo men still entertain, to a
largo extent, their aeveral opinions, und
would, if in liko circumstances, support
again substantially the sumu measures ;
and,
WiiERKAh, A rational toleration among
men resolved to unite in a present com
mon purpose does not require a surrender
in nny particular of former opinions or
any acknowledgement of error as to meas
ures heretofore supported :
Iltsolced, By the Democracy of Mont
gomery county:
1. That, agreeing to dlsacreo in all re
spects as to tho past, we cordially unito
upon tho living issues of toe day, und
hereby invite all men of the Republican
party wbo bellovo' now upon the prtnent
issues a wo Ixslievo to co-oiparaLa futly
and actively with us upon the basis of per-
led equality wtin every me moor oi tue
llemocratie oartv.
1. That, walvinc all dlUcrences of opln
ion as to tho extraordinary means bv
which they were broutrht nbout. wo accent
tho natural and legitimate results ot the
war so far as waged lor its ostensible
purpose to maintain tho union and tho
constitutional riirhu and powers 'A the
federal government, including tho throe
several amendments tie facto to the con
stitution, recently declared adopted, as a
settlement in fact of hII tho issues of tho
war, and acquiesce in tho same as no long'
cr isiuci uciuru wig country.
U. That thus burying out of sight all
that is of thu dead past, namely; Tho
right of secelon, slavery, inequality be
foro the law, and political' inequality ; and,
further, now that reconstruction is com
plete and representation within tho union
restored to all tbo states, waiving all qucf
tions as to tho means by which it was
accompllsed, wo demand that the vital and
long-ettablisbcd rulo of strict construc
tion, a proclaimed, by tho Democratic
fathers, accepted bv tbo statesmen of all
parties previous to tbo war, and embodied
in the Tonth amendment to tho constitu
tion, bo vigorously applied now to tbo con
stitution as it is, including tho three recent
amendments abovo referred to, and insist
that these amendments shall not bo held
to havo, in any respect, altered or modified
tho original theory and character of tho
federal government as designed and taught
oy its lounuers, nnd repeatouiy, in early
times, in later time., anu at all times
affirmed bv the supreme court of tho Uni
ted Stated but only to havo enlarged tho
powers delegated to it, and to that extent
and no moru to havo abridged tho re
served rights of tho states, ana mat, ns
thus construed, according to tho ancient
and well-established rules, tUe Democratic
party pledges iticlf to tho full, ralthml,
and "absolute execution and enforcement
of the constitution as it now U. mi as to
socuro equal rights to all persons undor
it. without distinction of race, color, or
condition.
A. That tbe absolute equality of each
and every stato within the union is a
fundamental principle of federal govern
ment, and thai no department of that
government has any power to cxpol a
elate from the union, or to deprive it, un
dor any pretext whatever, of its equal
rights therein, including especially tho
right of full and comploto representation
in Congress und in tho electoral college.
0. Tbut wo will always uherhh and up
held tbo American system of stato und lo
cal self-govornmont for state und local
purposes, and a genoral government for
gonornl purposes only, and uro unaltera
bly opposed to all attempts at centraliza
tion nnd consolidation of power in the
bands of the genoral government, and
more especially when such attempts are
in tho form of usurpation by any depart
ment of that government, and, further,
that wo adhero firmly to the principle of
maintaining a perfect indopendonco be
tween tbo co-ordinnto department of that
government, tho legislative, tho execu
tive, and tho judicial, condemning all en
croachments by one upon tho functions of
tho others.
f). That outsido of tho fundamental law,
all legislation Is, In its nature and pur
poses, temporary and subject to change,
modification, or repeal at tho will of a ma
jority of tbo people, expressed through
the law-making power, and that tho pro
tome thai anv act of Congress not execut
ed and spent, or any legislative policy of
a Dartv. Is an abtoluto nnalit v. it totally
inconsistent with thn whole theory of r-1
publican government, and that it is tho
unquestionable rlirht of tho neonln nftlmm.
selves and through their representatives.
at each successlvo election and In each
succcsslvo Congress, to judge of what leg-
inuuii ii ueccsary anu proper or appro
priate to carry into execution, or enforce
tho constitutional powors, rights, and du
ne oi me- leuorai government.
7. That as an instance of eminently ap
propriate legislation undor tho Four
teenth amendment. In tho namn of wis.
dom, justice, and republican government,
anu io secure univctsal political rights and
equality amonir both tho whlto und col.
orcd people of tho United States, to the
end that wo mar havo nenen. nl least, wn
call now, ns wofion behalf of tho North as
oi tno Boutii, upon Congress for universal
amnesty.
8. That wo ara In favor of thu payment
ui iiiu puuuc ueui ai mo earnest practi
cable moment consistent with mnderHte
taxation, and. more cfTcetuullv to sncurn
and hasten its payment, wu demand the
strlctosl honent and economy in every part
ui luuiiuiuiniiirHiion or mo government.
H, That wc aro In tavor of such revenue
reform as will greatly simplify tho man
nor of, and reduce thu number of the. of
ficers cngiccd in collecting and disburs
ing the revenue, and to largely diminish
tho now enormous expense to tho govern
ment, and tho annoyance and vexation to
tho people attending thu samo : and. fur
ther, will make tho burden of tavation
equal, uniform, and just, and no greater
than tho necessities of government, eco
nomically administered, thull require.
!0. That we aro In favor of n searching
and ndequato reform in tho civil service of
tho government, so at to aecuro faithful
neis, honesty, and srfficiencv in all its
brunches and in every officer Hnd ap
pointee connected with it.
11. 'i hat we are In favor of a strictly
revenue turitr, c informed to tho theory
and principles of nil other just and wiso
tax laws.
Yi. That all taxation ought to bo based
on wealth instead of population, and that
every person should be required to con
tributu to tbo support of thu govcrnmont
in proportion to tho amount, und not with
reference to tho character of his property,
13- Thutspcclo is tho basis of all sound
currency, unc' that the truo policy requires
us speedy a return to that basis lis is pruc
ticublu without distress to the debtor class
of tho people.
11. That thero is no necessary or irre
pressible conflict between labor and .capi
tal : that without tho capital of consoli
dated wealth no country can flourish; that
capital is entitled to tho just and equal
protection oi. tnn laws, anu tn.it all men,
whether acting individually or in a corpo
rato capacity, havo the right by fair und
honest means, und not for tho purpose of
wronL' or oppression, to so Ufo their prop
erty as to increase und consolidate it to
tno utmost extent within their power.
But, conceding all this, we declare our
cordial sympathy and co-operation with
tno producers unci worklnitmnn ot Mm
country wno make una move capital, anu
wno only seeK oy jimunu necessary means
to protect themselves against tho oppres
sive ojuicuo'is oi cuiiuai, aim 10 amelior
ate tliir condition and tno dignity or
their calling. "
lo. mat wo are totally and absolutely
oppo'cd to tho grant of any moro ot tho
public lanus tno common property or
tho people of tbo states to cor orations
for railroad and other purposes, holding
that theo lands ought to bo dovotod us
homesteads to actual settlers, or sold in
small quantities to individuals at a prico so
low as to induco their speedy occupation
and settlement.
10. That, holding still to the good old
Democratic doctrino of annexation or ac
quistion of territory, wo aro yet totally op
posed to the scheme of President Grunt to
acquire San Domingo as a job and bv
means and for purposeso vidently intended",
nnd accept the issuo he has tendered in
his lato messngo. submitting the subject to
tho decision ofth epeople.
17. That tho act commonly called "the
bayonet bill," recently passed by Congross,
amendatory to tho act of May 01, 1870,
und supplementary to tho net of July 14,
1870, eucli and till intended and so con
triv;d as to intcrfero with and practically
subvert freo popular elections in all tho
States, subjecting them to tho nbsoluto
control, through tho military power
whenever called forth, of the President
and Commander-in-chief, for tho timo bo-
Inir, of tho land and naval forces of the
United States; of tho moro recent act of
Uongres3 commonly called "the Ku-Klux
bill," externum: bv its terms to evrv
Stato, intormeddliiiir with the exclusively
local concerns of every Stato, authorizing
tho Preldont upon tho exlstanco of u con-
dition of things to bo ascertained and do-
torminod by hlmsolf, nnd In tho exorcise of
ms solo judgemont to suspend tho writ of
naoeas corpus in a umo oi peace, und to
march tho standing army into any Stato
and declaro n a-tlal law thonln ut his own
niero will and pleasure, thus subverting
the entiro civil power, legislative, execu
tive, and Judicial, of such State, destroy
ing tho freedom of speech and of the press.
and tho poaccablo assembling of tho peo
ple, anu siinjeciing overy person iiiercin lo
(military urrest, trial, unci execution
wore enucted for no other purposo than to
complete tho centralization of all power
in mo nanus oi mo general government
and establish a military despotism, nnd
thus pcrpetuato tho prcsuY.t administration
without regard to tho will of the people.
and not only utterly inconsistent with thu
whole theory and character of federal gov
ernment, and revolutionary nnd danger
ous in their nature, but in direct conflict
with tho spirit nnd letter ot tho constitu
tion, including tho nmedmcnts which they
pretend to enforce.
18. That tho Radical party of 1871 'ni
now constituted, is not tho Republican
party of thu period previous to tho war ut
tho North and tho so-called "union nurtv"
during tno war, and Is in no respect en
titled to beg tlie public confidence as such;
that it is only nn administration of Grant,
party, dating back to March 4, 180U, nnd
to bu judged by its record since, and that
upon that record, totally hostile to tho
doctrlnos and policle horcln maintained,
and wholy committed to tho policies nnd
doctrines, heroin denouncoJ, it dosorves
tho emphatic condemnation of tho people.
UK. VALLINDIOIIAM'H M'KKCll.
In ronortinc tho resolutions from tho
committee, Mr. Viillandlghnm said.
tiicso resolutions, Mr. rrcsiuoni, mm
ciontlyoxplan theinsolvcs. Tho principles
and policies which thoy onunclato require
tba honest coniure of thoio only whose
hostility ia aincorn.
Carping criticism wa
both expect and condemn. For moro than
two years past tho bitter and bloody pas
sions oi tho war havo been gradually but
wauuy ana suroly dying out. Continual
and Irroconcllabln dlssont upon tho now
issue ncccisary. born of to-day, and ovon
bitter personal discord among tho men of
tho Kcpublican party who had stood to
gpthcr on tho questions of tho past, Inevit
ably followed. Tho Democratic party
wisely remained silent, or confined ifelf
to tboso now issues. Tho ltopubllcnn
party, having fulfilled Us original mission
was rapiuiy lauing into uocuy. Modera
tion, justice, and penco woro Incoming to
its moro violent leadors tho sentence of
death. Tho administration party, into
which, slnco tho 4th of March, 18CJ, it has
been wholly transferred, had begun, from
causes thoroughly understood, to bo odious,
and even intolerable to tho people. Unon
the issues of amnesty, of tho honesty of the
leglslntlro and executive departments, of
tno tariti, ot revenue and civil servico re
form, of land grants to corporations; tho
curroncy question, San Domingo and othor
similar questions, it was certain to bo con
dimned. Necessity required that some
uecisivo movement BDouia bo mudo to ur
rest tho impendingdecnt. Not tho states
men, but tho moro politicians, tho syco
phants of tho party, 'tho pnrasites clinging
to and deriving nurture lolcly from exec
utive favor, wero called into tho council of
theso Bourbons of tho present hour. Tho
men who forget nothing, learn nothing,
resolved on onu moro appeal to tho expir
ing passions and prejudices of their parti
sans to tho war cries of tho put. If
civil war In fact could not havo been
inaugurated, civil wur In form, with
all its legislative und oxccullvo ma
chinery, and all Its political appliances,
must bu revived in every state, to secure,
first, tho renomlnatlon. and next tho re
election, of Gen. Grant. Tho boligorcnt
pronunclaincnto wont lorth. Tho blonde
blast of tho wnr-biiglo was ugaln sounded.
A distinguished Senator, tho coniidential
adviser and main support of tho President,
himself u consummate partisan leader, but
poweriui in proportion to tho unskilirul
ness and cowardice of bis foes, was put
forth ni the chief fumcnter of this new
cruiade. But I say to him, nnd to all be
hind him, that tho hour has now come
whon neither ho northev can bo permitted
to provoko or to dictale Issues for tho
Democratic party, or to igaor those
which the revolving years and charging
condition of tho country necessarily bring
forth. That which since 18C8 has been
but a question of time, is now upon us.
Tho auspicious moment, the golden oppor
tunity, "thu tido in the ntl'uirs of men to
bo taken ut tho flood," has now in my de
liberate judgment, reached us, when tho
De:nocrutic party of to-day, laying asido
every weight und shaking Irom its dead
body of tho past, yet adhering to its un
dent principles, can and must, at one
bound, placo itsolf upon tho vnntngo
ground of tho present nnd defy it ene
mies to battlu upon tho living issues of
tbo hour.
It is the purpose of thesu resolutions to es
tablish tho Democratic party of Montgom
ery county openly and squarely upon tnls
nrm anu impregnable basis. Tacitly, nnd
In fact, wo havo stood upon it for thu past
two years, and victory has steadily been
ours. Confident I am that wo shall meet
a prompt and very cordial response from
our brethren elsowhcro and everywhoro
in this and other states. Personally, I
caro not for denunciation or unjust criti
cism frem nny quarter. Upon the fullest
deliberation and amplo counsel with wiso
and bravo men of tho party, I tako tho
responsibility with nrldo andnleasurn. 1
add, too, that as these resolutions uro tho
fruit of tho joint labors and counsols of
tho gentlemen associated with me hero at
home, so also this movement meets their
hourly concurrence. It is not u now de
parture, but a return, tho restoration of
tho Democratic party onco moro tothcan
cient platform of progress and reform, es
trtbllshing tho groat fact that tho parly,
liko everything elso in nature intended, to
endure, is capablo of adapting itsolf to tho
porpetuai growtu una chnnga wtich be
long nliko to tbo political and tho physi
cal world, and retain yet intact tho orig.
Inal principle and laws of its being.
Moreover, as to tho movement horo, wo
all bear witness that In it thero is nothing
of a merely personal character, e ther to
advance or to hinder any mombor of the
Democratic party anywhero; nothing ex

moto tho welfare of tho whole party, and
