State of Massachusetts should have committed so flagrant a violation of tho su preme law of the land a violation irrepar able in its nature as the State suffering thereby has no possible redress Had you confined yourself to a simple refusal to sur render tho fugitive I should make no fur ther comments upon your letter as the dis regard by the Chief Executive authority of one State concerns the whole people of the United States But in as much as you have seen fit to base your action on the ground that in your judgment the ob ject in procuring the indictment against Patterson Parker and Kempton does not appear to be for tho purpose of trying Kempton for the crime charged against him but for a different purpose It is my duty as Governor of South Carolina to add that your statement is entirely unwarranted and to repel unworthy imputation as I do indignant scorn THE INDIAN COMMITTEE rency authorized should be fixed bvT' third that whatever that amount it be one that shall at every

accredited delegate He finally retired down the aisle and was removed The following is the report of the Commit tee on Resolutions which was adopted: The Democrats of Massachusetts through their delegates assembled in convention in aneuil Hall declare that the National Democratic party is the party of the people and of the Constitution that the puroose of its existence aud bond of its unity consist iu its devotion to the principles of restricting and localizing the powers of the Govern ment in the State and nation Applying that rule to the present political questions in which our people are interested we re solve irst That the Republicans of Massachu setts by their failure to condemn the plot to capture the Presidency while that plan was in process of accomplishment and by their tacit approval of the result of it and sharing in the benefits derived from that re sult have shown themselves utterly unfaith ful to the maxims of our own State Con stitution and are not entitled to call upon any Democrat or independent citizen to act with their party or vote for their candi dates Second That the constant policy of the Republican party throughout the United States has hail a constant tendency to cen tralize the powers of government in Wash ington Third That the Republican party has dis regarded the admitted rights of States and of the people of the United States a final action of usurpation It has defrauded both State and people out of their constitution ally elected Chief Magistrate and imposed upon the country as President a man whose only title to that office is derived through legislation agreed to by the Democratic members of Congress and assented to by the people in the interests of peace and in the belief that the solemnly constituted tribunal appointed to carry out the Jaw without re gard to party rendered a decision in accord ance with the facts as ascertained by judicial investigation ourth That disregard of tho first limita tions of the powers of the Government by the Republican party is shown both in ed eral and State Governments The people have been taxed beyond measure in enter prises in which the Government cannot rightfully embark Both nation and State have been made the tools of private enter prise and Congresses and Legislatures have shaped their laws to meet the demands thereof Against tins perversion of public funds this concentration of capital and power in the hands of the few the Democ racy of Massachusetts have for years pro tested and we may point with pride to the fact that whatever progress has been made in staying corruption and extravagance and in retrenching the expenses of the Govern ment has been largely due to the efforts of the Democrats in Congress and in the Legis lature ifth That the revival of the great indus tries of manufactures commerce and fish7 cries now paralyzed by unfriendly legisla tion is essential to the future prosperity of Aiassaciiusetts and tnac reciprocal irce trade with the civilized world restricted only by necessary measures to provide the national revenue will alone once more whiten the seas with the sails of our ships quicken our languishing industries and re lieve the masses from the pressure of indi rect taxation that now robs them of a large portion of their daily earnings Sixth The Democrats of Massachusetts renew their demand for extending tho right of suffrage to all citizens of the United States residents of Massachusetts without restriction by constitutional or legal enact ments prepayment of poll tax as a qualifi cation for voting in violation of every prin ciple of equal rights ought no longer to be required and while we favor all reasonable regulations to protect purity of ballot we declare that the laws passed by Republican Legislatures in recent years tending to hinder and obstruct the most ample exercise of elective franchise by our citizens deserve the condemnation of all lovers of true liberty and free suffrage Seventh We demand there should be no further increase of State debt and that measures for its gradual reduction and final extinction should be rigidly enforced We demand that constitutional provisions be made to restrain State counties and municipalities from increasing debts in time of peace We demand the abolition of all unnecessary offices and a reduction of expenses as necessary for the well being of the people We demand that Massachusetts shall observe her obligations to other States so that our commonwealth shall not be made the safe asylum for refugees from public justice The Democratic party in sustaining throughout its entire history" the great principle of equal and exact justice to all men has ever been the truest friend of the laboring classes and we demand the over throw of monopolies and the enactment and execution of such laws as shall protect the rights of labor as well as those of capital not discriminating against either but framed for the mutual benefit of both That the process for the collection of debts known as the operates with especial severity upon the laboring classes we therefore demand the passage or a law exempting the wages of the laborer from attachment That the platform here adopted and the candidates here nominated are the platform and candidates of the Democratic party of Massachusetts in alli ance with the National Democratic party and the pretense that any candidates nominated by any other party or body of men represented the Demo cratic party is utterly false and fraudulent We summon all true Democrats to rally to the support of the candidates this day nominated because they alone represent the principlesand organization of the time hon ored National Democratic party The scheme intimated and earned into effect by the Republican party of provid ing qiaper currency not redeemable in coin and compelling people to receive the same in payment of debt is without authority of tho Constitution Congress has no power to make anything leat it be gold or silver legal tender Whatever power it may have to authorize the issue of notes to circulate as money whether issued directly from the Treasury' or indirectly through banks should be exercised only subject to certain restric tions: irst that no executive officer of the Government should have discretion to en large or contract the volume of currency second that the total amount of
