The report was accepted, and the nominations
confirmed, by the Convention
L L. Durant for Committee on Resolutions,
reported the following:
Resolped That this Convention pledges anew
the friends of Freedom of the County Of Wash
ington, to the Republican party of the nation,
because OF the purity, the patriotism, and the
vitality Of its principles; and because its un-
equalled vigor, indicated by nearly u million
and d half OF voters, and a majority in eleven
of the sixteen Free States, gives hopeful PROM
Use of future ability to stay the cncroachments
of tyranny and bring back the Government to
the free and beneficent principles of its found
erS.
ReSolved, That while we regret that the
Presidency was lost in the last election, by the
division Of the opponents of Slavery propa-
gandism and gross frauds we yet rpj,ce in the
fact that Repuhlicanism won more than half
its destined victory The present Admnistra-
ton fears Rcpubicanlsm let Rewalicanism
so on, from strength to strength, till fear shall
have worked perfect repentance or Judgment
overtake the sinners in high places
Reso'ptd, That we repudiatr the sham Demo
cratic doctrine Of the inInlhhility of the Su-
preme Court. as .! ii piece with the assumed
inial!i iliy of the Popes and the divine right
Of Kings and While we will give to- the riecis-
ions Of the Court all the hgai force to which
they are cntitlod and to Its opinions the full
measure OF respect required by their conssten-
cy with the principles OF the ConstStation as
eXlounded by its tounders yet for erroneous
and corrupt .udgmen, and unrghtcous decls
ions, we will hold the Judges responsible TO The
People, as the source OF all goyermt utAI power,
in the modes allowed by the Constitution
Resolred, That the attempt to establish
Slavery in the heart OF the continent to check
the westward advance 81 civilization, 10 extend
its blight over Il Territory which the whole
pledged to Freedom, is but another step in the
aggressive march Of the Slave Power towards
the complete and permanent control OF thu des-
TIMES OF America, and furnishes new proof OF
the fact that Slavery keeps no faith, regards no
OATH and knows no law bat its own fierce and
brutal will
Raso3ced. That in view of the total disregard
of the wishes Of the People, by The Admins
haton, in Its local appointments, we heartily
endorse the sentiment Of oar recent State Con
vention which seeks to bring all officers to IL di-
rect responsibility to the suffrage of the people
of their several localities.
| RcsOIrCd, That we recommend the Republi
can State ticket presented by the State Convcn
tion, and the County ticket this day nominated
to the cordial and effective support Of all til,
Republicans of Washington County.
i The resolutions were seyerally reap and adop
ted, and the Convention adjourned, sine de-
GEO. NICHOLS, President
cnAs. II n JOYCE Secretaries.
