ResOlUed, That in Abraham Lincoln,
of Illinois, the Republicans of Vernon,
recognize self-made man, who has
reacheda high and honorable prominence.
and will shortly attain to the exalted DO
sition of President of this Republic, by
the exhibition of great and ennoblinr
qualities of mind and heart, broad and
comprehensive views of public affairs.
with mastery ability in the exposition of
them, firm devotion to sound principles.
patriotism as wide as the limits IF the
Union, craftsmanship drawn from the
counsels and precepts of the Fathers of
the Constitution. firm fidelity to the logic
of duty, and incompatible integrity of
purpose and action; and we hail with
proud satisfaction and cordial appreciation
the action Of the Chicago Convention in
nominating him for the office of Presi-
dent of the United States.
Resolced, That the nomination of
Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, as Vice
President, is most worthy and accepta-
BILE completion of the Republican Ma
tional Ticket, additionally Illustrative of
the elevated and intelligent patriotism
which actuated and governed the delib-
erations from which that nomination re-
suited.
Resolusd, That we accept and adopt
as the sound basis upon which stands the
unconquerable organization of the Re-
publican Party, the noble Platform Of
Republican Principles promulgated by
the National Convention at Chicago.
ReSolUed, That the irreconcilable hat
red and contentious, and the final dis
memberment of the once powerful organ
lzation, miscalling itself the Democratic
Party, as exhibited in the results (most
happy for the country,) of the irrepres.
sible conflicts - of Charleston and Bal
timore, are the latest of long series of
human examples illustrative of the di-
vine wisdom which teaches that house
divided against itself shall not stand -
and we receive the lesson with undoubt-
ing faith, and without murmur of
discomfort"
ReSotred, That the separation of the
so-called democratic party into the minor
factions of which it has long been CON-
posed, occasions neither apprehension
nor embarrassment to the grand, united
and compact Republican Party, and is a
process in political chemistry, the only
result of which has been to show that
slavery constitutes the cohesive as well
as the repulsive power of the organiza-
ton.
Resotred, That we very cordially ap-
prove of the nomination of the Hon.
Erastus Fairbanks for Governor, the
/ Hon. Levi Underwood. for Lieutenant
Governor, and Of John B. Page, Esq,
for Treasurer, this day made, and that
we demand of the people a majority of
thirty thousand votes 10 their behalf on
the first Tuesday of September next.
On motion of Mr.. Slayton, of Calais,
the Convention adjourned sine die.
