WHEREAS, This Convention. representing the
sentiments of the National Conservative party
of the State of Ohio, taking note of passing
events, and guided by the lights of experience
and history, do now, as ever, affirm the princl-
Piles of republican progress, upon which the
perpetuity of our free institutions and the hopes
Of struggling freedom against unhalowed pow
er everywhere depend Therefore.
/. Resolved, That, as a national party, we
stand by the great interests of the Union,
against factions at home and enemies abroad ;
and that we pledge ourselves to the constitu-
ton, to the promotion and protection of our ma
tonal industry, and the development of our ma.
tional resources, by all legitimate constitutional
means.
e. Resolved, That the prosperity of the peo'
pie OF Ohio, as an integral portion of the coun'
try, results from their own industry and natu
raj vigor, and constitutes no pretext or apollo
gy for watchful and extravagant expenditures
in the administration of the State government
8. Resolped, That the party now dOmnan
in this State have exhibited a reckless disregard
of those principles of economy and integrity
which ought to characterize the administration
of our State affairs.
A.. Resotved, That we pledge ourselves, ant
those we present as candidates for office, to {
strict regard to opopular rights, in all things per
tanning to the stupendous interests of our gi
gantic and growing State and that, withou
abeyance to minor considerations, we will ad
here strictly to those great Republican princi
pies which alone can perpetuate our Liberties
and our prosperity as people.
g. Resolved, That the Locofoco party Of Ohio
by the charges and admissions of its own mem
bers, on very late as we'll as upon former occa
sions, is composed of elements essentially an
tagonistic, held together by the cohesive powe
of public plunder, in coalition, whose exist
ence is at once a libel on consistency, and
proof Of the utter mercenary motive of thei
organization,
g. ResOlVed, That the dominant party, in it
administration of our State government for tn
: last three years, has given the most garing ev
licences of its greediness for the emoluments o
: place, and its contempt of the peoples inter
ests. Holding working majority in bot
branches of our General Assembly, so large a
to render it completely independent of Viii!
obstruction, this party has increased fOur-fol'
the expenses Of our State government ant
while the constituency were smarting unde
taxes of the most onerous degree, they hav
greatly increased our public burthens, multi
piled offices and augmented official salaries
heightened to an unreasonable aad oppressiv
duration the sessions of our Legislature, weak
ened the efficiency of our courts and blunte'
the ends of justice, and thus exhibited them
selves as dangerous and mischevlous in tn
management Of affairs, as they are loud il
their false professions of devotion to the popu
lar veal.
7. Resolued, That the members of this Con
vention pledge themselves, each to the other
and to their fellow Wings of the State anC
country, to support the ticket for Executive AM
State officers, this day nominated, and to max
once and again, appealing to the patriotic sens
of their fellow-citizens, an earnest effort t
place the interests of our State in the hands G
that party to which, under Providence, sh
owes her former prosperity and her Preser
credit. Q 1rs
