The resolutions OF he Republican
Convention at Columbus yesterday, we
give below. They are strong, emphatic,
and pertinent-concilatory but not con-
ceding An iots from the asserted princi-
Piles Of any portion of the Republican
party.
RESOLUTIONS.
Relying confidently upon the intelli-
gence and patriotism Of the people, and
invoking earnestly The favor of the Sd
preme Ruler. we submit to the freemen
of Ohio the following declaration of the
Republican principles and measures:
/. We entertain an abiding confidence
in the cardinal doctrine heretofore in
scri5ed upon The banners of that party,
and in defense of which, it has never
failed to secure from the free electors Of
the Stale an ardent and triumphant sup
port; and re-aiirming the same. com
mend them anew to the discriminating
consideration of The people.
9. Thatthe people of Ohio demand n re-
organization ofthe JudIcialCiIcu Of the
United States, and that they be so on
siituted as TO give TO every section of the
C~onfederacy It's just and equal voice in
the Supreme Court of the United States;
that provision be made for reviewing the
decisions of the District and Circuit
Courts of the United S ates, by appeal
or writ Of error, and for securing fair
and impartial juries in prosecutions fer

United States.
3. That, ploclaiming our determine
ton rigidly to respect the constitutional
obligations imposed upon the States by
the Federal compact, we maintain the
union of the States. the tights of the
States, and the liberties of the people;
and in order 10 attain these imporlan-
ends, W. demand the repeal of the Fut
ciGYe Slave Act of 1850, as subversive
of both the rights Of the States and the
liberties of the people, and as contrary to
the plainest duties Of humanity and us
tice, and as abhorrent TO the moral
sense of the civilized world.
4 We claim for all CITIZENS, native
and naturalized, liberty Of conscience,
equality of rights. and the freest exercise
of the right of suffrage; We favcr what
ever Legislative or administrative reforms
may be necessary to protect their rights,
and guard against infringement or abuse;
and we oppose any abridgment what
ever, of the right of naturalization, now
secured by law to immigrants, and all
discrimination between native and natu-
rallied citizens, whether by amendment
of a State Constitution or otherwise; aud
We condemn equally such discrimination,
whenever and wherever made, whether
made by South Carolina or any other
Safe.
5. That the developments Of extrava-
gance and corruption in the administra-
ton of the national affairs, impose upon
us the important duty of casting OUT
those who have proved faitLless; AMI
placing in power men who ear be relied
upon to reduce the public expenditures,
lessen the burlhens of taxation, and pro
tect the Treasury of the people.
6. That We regard all suggestions and
propositions Of every kind, by whomso
ever made, for a revival of the African
slave trade, as shocking to the moral
sentiments of the enlightened portion OF
mankind, and that any action on the
part of the government or people, con
niving at, or legalIzing that horrid and
inhuman traffic, would justly subject tie
government and citizens of the Uni ed
States 10 the reproach and execralion OF
all civilized and christian people through
out the world. 2.
That We are in favor of granting
to actual settlers one hundred and sixty
acres Of the public lands free of charge,
and we do most unqualitiedly condemn
the course Of the pro slavery democracy
in Congress, 10 opposing and defeating
in the United States Senate the Home
stead Bill, which was designed to secure
free homes for the poor man, whether OF
native or foreign birth.
8. We regard the usurpstion and
abuse of power by the last Legislature
in repeated instances, and especially in
making appointments 10 oGice in plain
violation OF the Constitution, in virtually
abolishing the Board CT Putllc Works,
and placing the several divisions 50 ar
ranged for partizan purposes as 10 give
the largest portion 10 the junior mt mbers)
under the uncontrolled charge of indl
vidual members, without responsibility
to the Board; in making inadequate pro-
vision for the safe keeping of The public
moneys; and in attempting to force upon
the people of Cincinnati an arbitrary 81 s
tenn of police. against their consent. as
deserving the reprObAtiOn Of all good CT.
9 That the Republicans Of Ohio point
with entire satisfaction and pride to the
digniied. honest. faithful and jaIicious
manner in which the present Executive
and other officers of The Safe Govern
ment have discharged the duties OF their
respective positions. That The course Of
the Hon. B. F. Wade in the United
States Senate, and of the r publican
members of Congress, in their able ad-
vocacy Of the interests of the poor man.
in urging the passage of the Homestead
Bill, and in then defence of the principles
Of freedom meets our unqualified approval
10. We cordially invite all men Of all
to in with Us, in earnest endeav

heritage Of American institutions trans

and unimpared, TO those who may come
