IN placeot any thing We misht say. here oi-
lows the resolutions 4
l. We adhere to the platform ado?tedhy the
Republican Convention heldiih Philadelphia in
uly lT76, and re-alIirmed in June 1856, and
solemnly conSecrate our political and moral
power to support its doctrines
This is richi The Black Republicans of the
present time claiming ideuty with the authors OF
the Declaration of Independence, pretending to
be governed by the same principles, and sol
emnly consecrating their political and moral
powers to support the same doctrines. What
farce! THcveof the thirteen original States
Of the Union recognized the relation Of Master
and Slave. The fathers Of the Republic sane
toned its existence and made provisions for the
reclamation of runaway slaves. The doctrines
of the founders of the Republic re-afiirmed in
1856 by the Black Republican party in Phila-
dephia! What a burlesquc! In the Conven-
ton of the so-called Republican party, in Phil
adelphia, in June, 1856, the Topeka Constitu-
ton of Kansas was strongly endorsed which
excludes free negroes from even a loothold in a
territory stained with blood avowedly in de-
fence OF the right of the colored race! What
consistency!
! .. We maintain the Union of the States the
Rights of the States and the Liberties of the
people.
And yet the Representatives of the pseudo Re-
publican party in Congress assembled, spent
nine weeks in persistent and successful effort
to electa presiding officer who had boldly pro-
claimed his willingness to let tie Union slile'-
The way the liberties of the people are rsspec-
ted may be inferred from the action of the black
Republican party of the State of New York, as
seen in their wicked attempt to annul the char
ter of the Empire city, and thrust upon the
people contrary to their will, officers strangers
10 their wants, and for whom they were not al
lowed to vote; a usurpation unparalleled in oui
political history. The rights of the people o.
New York Citys because large majority o
them are Democrats, they trample upon, at thc
risk of bloodshcd But to give the people ;
right to form their own charter and elect theil
own officers in an insignificant town in Kansas
the same party will brave the danger of ciyi
war! Consistency thou art jewel!
8. We submit cheeruly to the Legitimate
and constitutional exercise of the powers OF thu
Federal Government; but we protest agains
the arrest and vexatiouS prosecution, unde
writs of Federal Commissioners, of our Judge
Sheriffs, } Justices of the Peace and private cti
zens, for acts required by State law, as oppres
sive, tyranical and unwarrantable.
Submit cheerfully, eh? Instead of this the.
90 to work and pass reasonable habeas cor
pus law in Ohio to thwart the constitutional eX
, orcise of the powers of the Federal Govern
ment and bring the State and Federal authori
ties in collision as they have recently been in
case familiar to our readers, threatening th
overthrow of our republican institutions by in
testine cummo.on.
! f. We insist that the lawful process by tn
State Courts for the maintenance Of right, an
the prosecution and punishment OF crime com
t mitted within the limits Of Ohio an | against he
. sovereignty, shall be executed without let or hin
drance by federal officials.
, This resolution takes its paternity from til
i. author Of the five regiment resolution, Of tn
r black Republican Legislature, all tending to
+ wards the maintenance of the Union of tn
n States, by encouraging treason and revolution.
5. We deny the right of the federal authori
ties under the color of Fugitive Slave act 0
any other act. to suspend the writ of habea
II corpus or defeat its due execution and operate
c in this State.
: That's it. Pass an unconstitutional Stat
: law, to nullify law of Congress sanctioned by
: Republican Wing President! This is "submit
e ting cheerfully to the constitutional exercise
It the powers of the Federal Government" wit
If vengeance!
e 6. We condemn the doctrines of the major
a ity of the Federal Supreme Court in the Dire
Scott case, as Unconstitutional, anti republ
can, anti-denocratic, incomp tible with Stat
: rights and destructive of personal security.
Is The party which glonfi4i the Federal 81
c premc Court for deciding that a bank chartt
n was contract, and that Banks whose churtel
l. exempted them from taxation, could not be ia!
o. ell as other property the same party we sa
I which sustained the Supreme Court then al
IL affected such great respect for the validity
he contracts, now denounce the former; and la
winter made wholesale reputation of the la
ne ter--and to cap the climax of their iniamy al
at inconsistency, have put in nomination M;
Sc who helped to make and approve the contrac
IN said to be so base and unjust as to justify the
oi abrogation.
OF The Supreme Court in the Dred Scott deci
OT IL ,,1Jo ,;t;
US der the constitution, consequently not entitl
TX to vote or hold office. Is this what is incor
es patible with State Rights, and ti-Republical
g, Let us see. The whole republican party in t
ol June convention Of last year, as stated aboy
ut made FAR more unwarrantable and anti-dem
cratic decision when they sanctioned the excl
10 sion of the colored man from territory o,
consccrated to Freedom by endorsing the I
he peka Constitution.
ofl T. We regard slavery as a great evil a
A. wrong, ever aggressive, constantly mischievo
and prospectivey fatal both to Union and i
~ erty; and we therefore earnestly oppose its {
It. tension OF encouragement by the Federal Gt
a. ernment.
le- Did your Representatives in Congress earne
r. p oppose its extension when they voted to
mt galize it in Kansas and also in Nebraska (wh'
. / It was not) by the Dunn bill? Shame where
s., thy blush!
- 8. We concur with vast majority Of
ne people Of the free States, and with respec
he BILE portion of the people Of the slave States,
reprobation of the action Of the Federal G,
'e' srnment under the control of the Slave pow
'p- in breaking down the barriers against slay,
rs. extension provided by the wisdom Of our h
ers, and in forcing slavery into free Terrific
