RESOLUTIONS.
Relying confidently upon the intelligence
and patriotism of the people, and invoking
earnestly the favor of the Supreme Ruler we
submit to the freemen of Ohio the following
declaration Of Republican principles and meas
ures:
l. We entertain an abiding confidence in
the cardinal doctrines heretofore inscribed up
on the banners Of that party, and in the de-
fense of which, it has never failed to secure
from the free electors of the State an ardent
and triumphant support; and re-affrmihg the
same, commend them anew to the 'discrimina-
ting consideration of the people,
2. That the people of Ohio demand reor-
ganization of the Judicial Circuits of the
United States, and that they be so constituted
as to give to every section of the Confederacy
its 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 States, by appeal
or writ of error, and for securing fair and inn
partial jdries in prosecutions for alleged viols-
tions of the laws of the United States.
8. That, proclaiming our determination rig
idlyt respect the constitutional obligations
imposed upon the States by the Federal COM
pact, we maintain the union of the States, the
rights of the States, and the liberties of the
people and in order to attain these important
ends, we demand the repeal Of the Fugitive
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 justice, and as abhorrent to
the moral sense of the civilized world.
4. We claim for all citizens, native and nat
lralized, liberty of conscience, equality Of
rights, and the freest exercise of the right Of
suffrage we favor whatever legislative or ad-
ninistrative reforms may be necessary to pro-
ect these rights, and guard against their in
ringement or abuse; and we oppose any
whatever, Of the right of natur-
llization, now secured by law to immigrants,
md all discrimination between native and
1aturaIized citizens, whether by amendment
If State constitution or otherwise and we
condemn equally such discrimination, whenever
md wherever made, whether made by South
Carolina, or any other State.
5. That the Developments of extravaganza
md corruption in the administration of the ma
offa airc ne the int
Iuty of casting out those who have proved
aithless, and placing in power men who can
,e relied upon to reduce the public expendi-
ures, lesson the burthens of taxation, and pro-
ect the Treasury of the people,
G. That we regard all suggestions and prop
sitions of every kind, by whomsoever made.
or revival of the African slave trade, as
hooking to the moral sentiments Of the en-
ightened portion of mankind and that any
ction on the part of the government or peo-
lie conniving at or legalizing that horrid and
nhuman traffic would justly subject the gov
rnment and citizens of the United States to
be reproach and execration of all civilized
nd christian people Throughout the world.
7. That we are in favor of granting to ae-
ual settlers one hundred and sixty acres Of
he public lands free of charge. and we do
lost unquGlifcdly condemn the course of the
ro-slavery Democracy in Congress, in opposing
nd defeating in the United States Senate the
Ion7esteat Bill, which was designed to secure
oe homes for the poor man, whether Of native
+ foreign BIRTH.
s. We regard the unsurpation and abuse
power by the last legislature in repeated
lstauces, and especially in making appoint
tents 10 Office in plain violation of the Con-
tuition in virtually abolishing the Board Of
'ublic Works, aud placing the several divis-
,us (so arranged for partizan purposes as to
i've the largest portion to the Junior memberl
nder the uncontrolled charge of individual
lembers, thout responsibility to the whole
;oard in making inadquate provision for the
afe keepng Of the public moneys and in at
,mpting to force upon the people Of Cincin-
att an arbitrary system OF police, against
neir consel (, as deserving the reprobation Of
I good citizens
0. That the Republicans of Ohio point with
ntire satiseaotou and pride to the dignihed,
onest, faithful and indicious manner in which
ne present Executi9e aud other officers Of the
tate Government have discharged The duties
{ their respective positions That the course
T Hon. g. F. Wade in the United States
,nate, and of the Republican members, Of
congress, in their abe advocacy of the inter
sis of ths poor mau, in urging the passage OF
ne Homestead Bill, and in their defense of the

pproval.
10 We cordially invite all nsn of all par
