Resolved That the American Democracy place their trust not in factitious symbols not in displays and appealt insulting to the judgments ud subversive of the intellect of the people but in a clear reliance upon the intelligence the patriotism and the discriminating justice of the American masses Resolved Thal-e regard this as a distinctive feature of our political creed which we are proud to

name or form which seeks to palsy the will of the constituent ami which conceive no imposture too monstrous fur the popular credulity Resolved therefore That entertaining these views the Democratic party of this Union through their delegates assembled in a general convention of the Slates coming together in' a spirit of concord of devotion to the doctrines and faith of a free representative government and appealing to their fellow-citizens for the rectitude of their intentions renew and re-assert before the American people the declaration of principles avowed by them when on a former
