CONNECTICUT REPUBLICAN CONVEN.
TON

l1ON.
The resolutions adopted at the Republican
State Convention of Connecticut begin by de.
claring devotion to the Constitution, regretting
the abandonment of the Territorial policy of
the founders of the Republic condemning the
repeal of the Missouri compromise, and then
proceed as follows:
Resotped, That the union of the States will
be best preserved by a scrupulous observance
of the rights of the States, and of all constitu-
tional duties and requirements; we are there
fore unequivocally opposed to any interference
by the citizens of any one or more States with
the institutions of another, but would maintain
invioate the rights and sovereignty of each and
every State and Territory, and defend the soil
of the same from lawless invasion.
Resotced, That the recent lawless invasion
of Virginia by an armed band, with a view to
modest and disturb a peaceful community in
the quiet possession of their undoubted consti-
tutional rights, like the long-continued and re-
peated invasions of Kansas by armed rufiians,
who defrauded that people of their elections,
destroyed their property, and murdered their
inhabitants, meets with no approval or iustifca-
ton from us, but, on the contrary, receives our
unqualified censure and condemnation.
Resoloed, That the course of the Admins
tration presses OF Connecticut, in vilifying the
a
the Confederacy, by representing majority of
its citizens as abettors of or sympathizers with
insurrection, by endeavoring to infict an enor-
nous injury upon its trade and prosperity, for
the sake of compelling Northern business men
to belle their political convictions, shows con-
clusively that their sympathy for tratorous
menaces against the General Government is
allied with a reasonable disregard of the honor
of Connecticut, and in this pursuit of political
plumber they exhibit neither loyalty to the State
nor love to the Union.
ReSolUed, That the threats constantly made
by leading Democrats, in and out of Congress,
to dissolve the Union in case of the election of
Republican President, which threats receive
no rebuke from the Democratic press or at any
Democratic meeting-brand that party as dis
organizing and revolutionary, and give the lie
TO all lis pretended love of the Union. We
avow that no party having any confidence in
the soundness of its principles would aim to
succeed by such means and we hereby declare
our utter contempt for such childish attempts to
frghten American freemen and influence their
votes, and our determination to use all honora-
BILE means to put down the disorganizers dis
unionists, and slavery-extentionists, now in of.
flee, and to restore peace and good government
TO our country by the election Of President,
the opposite in every particular of the present
incumbent"
