the Republican Freemen Of our party, in

sliluents through delegates, meet with our
hearty approval and aequiescence.

privilege IN having 10 commend our Chief
Magistrate, Gov. WILLIAM A. GRA-
HAM. who in his official functions is 80
prompt, satisfactory and prudenl--in his
craftsmanship. so enlightened and COM

party, the ultimate success Of which, we
hope and believe, will rebound To the glo-
~ and prosperity of our Whole country,
the perpetuiiy of the Union, and the pre-
seryation Of her laws and constitution.
Resolved, hat We have yet to learn
that The present or future welfare of our
country calls for an alteration Of the tariff
Of 1912; aud tina, we are in favor OF it, be-
cause it affords Incidental protection TO all
kinds of domestic industry, and renders us
independent. not only in name, but in fact;
and thai we believe lis present and ulti-
mate tendency, is TO reduce the price of
manufactured goods, thereby benefting
consumers ii all classes; and lastly, that
we believe that no me great interest Of
the country can be incidentally protected,
without in some degree protecting all The
!9ther interests
Resolved, That we are opposed 10 the
doctrine of 50 called Free Trade, as pro-
mnlgated in the Presidents message, and
entirely opposed TO laying an excise duty
on the products Of our country, whether
manufactured or produced
Resolved, That If the Government has
no right 10 project and foster its own in.
dusry, that ihe laborers of the county
have no interest in protecting and defend
ing the government.
Resolved, That We arc opposed 10 the
Sub-Frcasury. upon the ground of its in
competency to discharge even the fiscal
operations Of our state institutions, much
less those Of so large a country as the
United States. 81. &
Resolved, That while we believe that
others have rights and must, and ought to
he protected, yel we would dare maintain
our own; nevertheless we arc opposed to
the present administration on the Oregon
question, and we believe that The question
can and ought to be settled, by further ne I
goiialion or an umpire. -!
