Equal Suffrage" altogether
4th, Resolued That 81 Equal Suffrage" in the man
ner proposed by our patriotic governor DAVID ,.
Reid, is true republican measure and that we cor
diay invite all republicans in the State, by whatever
party names they may be called, to unite wlth US In
the ensuing campaign, upon which, perhaps, this
great equality of privilege depends.
5th Resoired, That, in the present emergency. the
reelection of our talented. firm, and invlncible Gov
ernor the Hon. David S. Reid, with a Democratic
majority in the Legislature, will be sure guarantee
of the successful progress of the desired reforms and

honorable TO promote his reelection, and 10
sustain him with Democratic Legislature.

BILE at the last election respectfully ask our sister

not only do justice to merit, but in view OF the fact
that Lincoln, always forbeaTng has had but rep
resentative in the Legislature for many years.
9Th, Resolved, That should the Convention, con-
tary to notions Of justice and expediency, award
the Senator another County, then, from the high
stand this end of the County has heretofore taken in
every thing pertaining to the support of the true prn
cipes of he old Republican party, we deem it but
