Resolutions of the Ohio Democracy.
Resolved. by the Tenocracy of Oio,
That, denouncing the extraordinary
means by which they were brought
about, we recognise as accomplished
facts the three amendments to tle
Constitution recently declared adopt
ed, and consider the same as no lone
er political issues before the country.
2d. We demand that the rule of
strict construction, as proclaiined by
the Democratic fathers and accepted
by statesmen of all parties, be vigor.
ously applied now to the Conttitution
above referred to, and insist that
those amendments shall not be held
to have in any respect altered or
modiflud the original theory and
character of the Feder.%l Govurnunent,
but only to have enlarged the powers
delegated to it, and to that oxient
anO no mjorb to have abridged the
reserved rights of the States, and
that as thus construed, the Democrat -
ic party pledges itself to a lull,
faithful and absolute execution and
enforeetuent of the Constitution as it
now is,so as to secure equal rights
to all persons under it without dis.
tinction of race, color or condition.
3d. That the absolute equality of
each and every State within the
Union is a fandamental pt inciple of
the Federal Governnent ; that we
should always oheriah and uphold
the American system of State Govern
saent for State purposes and the Gener
al Govern ment for general purposes on
ly, and are unalterably opposed to all
attempts atcentralis itiou or conso'ida
tion of power in the handsof the Genes
al Government, and mwre especiall3
when such attempts are in the form
of usurpation by any department of
Govern opt. 4th. That we adhere
frnly to the principle of maintaining
perfect independence between the
co-ordinate departments of the Gov,
ernment, the Legislature, executive
and judicial, condemning all encroach
ments by the one upon the functions
of the other.
5th. While the fundamental law,
as expressed in the Constitution, is
necessarily paramount, until abroga
ted as prescribed in that instrument,
all legislation is in its nature and
purposes, temporary, and subject
to change, modification or rcptal at
the will of the majority of the
people, as expressed through the law.
making power ; and that the pretense
that any Act of Congress not execu
ted, or any legislative policy of party
is an itbolute finality, is totally in
consistent with the whole theory of
government, and that it is the tn
questionable right of the people, of
themselves and throughi Iheir represon
tatives, at each successive election,
and in eaoh suecessivo Congress, to
judgewhat legislation is necessary,
proper or appropriate to carry into
execution or enforce the central pow
oe, r ights and duties of the Federal
Governmont.

npoly. uppropriate legivlat ion under
the fourteenth armendment, we de
mspd piow of Congress universal am
nesty. ,
7th. That while we .denounc~e all
riotous combinations and conspiracies

thd tSouth or elsewhere, we 'demand
of all good 'citizens their utmost in
fluence to puta all such down. We

their rightful heritage in public lands,
which have been made gifts to rail
roads and other monopolists, paying
more than twenty millions premium
during the administration of President
Grant, in Govotnmont bonds payable
at par, minitained at an annual cost
to the people of nearly thirty millions
and an unconstitutional, oppressive
and extortionate system of banking,
whereby money is made scarce and
interest high, are abuses which call
for wise and thorough remedies.
I ith. That we are in favor of strict
economy ; of a large reduction of ex
penditures in the Federal and State
Governments I of the collection of in
ternal revenue by the State authori
ties thereby returning to honest labor
myriads of tax gatherers ho Aflhiet
our land and cat up its substance, and
of the speedy trial, conviction and
puni.huent of the thieves who have
stolen the taxes paid by the people.
12th. That while we reject repudlia.
tion, we equally rejtct the propobi
tion to pay the bond-holders more
than the contract with them demands ;
that if bond-holders have rights, so
have taxpayers, and we ins.ist upon
justice being done to both ; that 'the
creditor is eititled to be paid in the
saime currency he loaned to the Gov.
ernment ; that where he loaned green
backs he should be pAid in green
backs, unless the contract otherwise
provides, and where he loanel gol
he should be paid in gold ; that to
guard against too great expansion,
greenbacks should be made converti
ble itto three per cent. bonds at the
option of note holders, t-aid bonds to
be redeemed in greenbacks on de
mand ; that the true method of ro.
turning to specie payments is to make
custom dues payable in legal tender
currency, whether paper money or
gold ; that sueh policy would secure
uniform currency, stop gambling in
gold, and thereby elevate the credit
of the Government.
13th. That with the watchword of
reform, we confidently give to the coun
try that we believe the interests
of the great. tody of the people are the
same ; that, without regard to politi
cal associations, they are the friends
of free government, they are equally
honest, brave and patriotic, and we
appeal to them, as to our brothers and
countrymen, to aid us to obtain re
lief fron grievous abuses which
wrong and oppress every one except.
the wrong-doers and oppressors them
selves.
14th. Upon the State issues, we
resolve that we are in favor of calling
a convention, as provided for by arti
cle 16, section 8, of the State consti
tution.
How to lake Fari Life Altractive.
By less hard work. Farmers often
undettake more than they can do well,
and consequently work too early
and too late.
2. By more system. The farmers
should have a time to begin and stop
labor They should put more mind
and machinery into their work. They
shotld theorize as well as practice,
and let both go together. Farming
is healthy, moral, and respectable ;
and, in the long run, may be made
profitable. The farmer should keep
good stock, and out of debt.
3. By taking care of health. Fram
ers have a healthy v-ariety of exer,
cise but too often negle~ct cleanliness,
eat irregularly and hut riedly, sleep
in ill-ventilated apartments, and ex
pose themnselvese t', cold.
4. By adorning the home. Books,
papers, pictures, mnun.i, and reading
should all be brought to bear upon th'o
in-door faily entertainmie.ts ; antd
neatness and comnfort, order, shrub
bery, flowers and fruits should -lhar
tmoniz~e all without. There would
he fewer desertions of old homesteads
if pains were taken to make them
agreeable.' Enase, order, henhrh, and
beauty are comfortible with far-m life,
and were ordained to go with it.
Attrartion of Gravitation,
Sir Tsaao Newton discovered attra.
tion of gravitationr ihi a singular manr
ner. Ifo was sleeping off his beer
under ann apple tree 0one afternonon,
when a pound-sweet, fatll and husted
him ont the snoot. This set his nose
to, bleeding andt himself to thiinking.
He wanted to knoew what cauised lhat
uapple to fall idhen it, wasn't a 'all
apple. "Why," asked Newto,
"whten that stemr gave way, did not the
apple aboot upwards as the sparks do,
and fly away, instead of comtinlg
dlown ; and that too, when, neoordling
to the mnaiket report., apples were
not comning down 1"
To our eye, althoug~h it ma y ho all
in our ey e, Sir Ike, sitting :n thte gra ss
un-ler that apple tree, studying out
attracti 'sofgravitati n, while trying
to stop the nosebleed, was one of the
most striking and interesting pictures
in history. "1 have It 1" cried New
toti,'exultingly, and just then another
apple fell and hit him on the top of
the blead; kMtisfyinmg him there was
somnething' in it. "It's attraction
attraetion of gravitation 1" and it has
been attraotion of gravitation ever
Alwee."

Greeley for President.
Theodore Tilton comes out for
G reeley for President. "A re-nomi
intion of Grant," ie says, would be so
injudicious that it ought teo longer to
be discussed." le adds :
"To say nothing of the great fact
his administration has been but. a
mediocre success, and not worth re
peating for another four years, the
victorious North should not a scoond
tinme imipose otn the whole country the
conqueror of one half of it, This is
not the way to heal the wounds of a
civil war. Peace, magnanimity, frc
ternal kindness-this is the .pirit.
which we hope the North will iock to
exhibit, towards the South in the next
Presidential canvass."
Th/ese expressiones (says the Rich.

The New York papers exclaim in
an ala ine I chorus : "What's to be
done ?" The commandant at West
Pitit Military Academy has deoided
that this year the cadets should not
have their annual hop. The Secre
tary of War overrules this decision,

Ing the fear of Congress before their
eyes, now combine together in defianoq
of that body and iti solemn onact
Inents, to deprive a citizen of his

vited for his behoof. But in this case
the fair rebels say that they won't go
to the ]hop at all. And thus a band
of ku klux in dinity triumph.
A gentleman, learned in the origin
of social customs, was asked what

casting an old shoe after a newly
married couple as they started on
their trip. lie said : "To indicate
that the chances of matrimony are
very slippery."
