While the Executive Committee were
preparing resolutions expressive of the sense
of the meeting in regard TO the duties of the
Repubiican party of this city, Mr.. T. H.
Sypherd; at the request of the chairman,
proceeded briefly to state the reasons in ia
vor.of organizing the club at this time.
Upon the entrance of the Committee on
Resolutions, tie following report was made
through their chairman. Mr.. H. NJ. Vale
WHEREAS, We believe the time has come when
every good and patriotic citizen should enlist I'M
der the banner and cooperate with that party
which in my Judgment Is most disposed and best
adapted TO the pr. servation of our National Gov
eminent, in accordance with the spirit of the Con-
stitution and the design of its Trainers: and
whereas, we cannot believe that the principles
embodied in the platform of either branch of the
Democratic party are in consonanee with the spirit
of the Const tuition, or the designs and teachings
uf fathers, will. if carried out inure to the
best interests of our country and whereas, the
ambiguous AMI undesirable position a sumrd by
the so called Constitutional Union party does
not commend itself to our reason judgment
that have faith III either its positions or its
prof ssions and whereas, believe that the
platform adopted by the Republican party, ut its
recent Convention in Gu ca o, does ernbody prn-
cipes in harmony with the spirit of the ConsttI-
ton and the intent and policy Of the founders of
our Gov rnment. and that if faithfully carried out
they lcM inure to the safety of the Union and the
peace and prosp -r.ty of the whole country that
the doctrines laid down therein do commend them
selves to our rtason and Observation-Disclosures,
ReS0Iped, That, pledging renewed fidelity to the
Unior, the Constitution and the laws of our ,ur.
try, denying either the right or the expediency
interference on the part of the General Govern
ment with the local institutions of any State, but
claiming its protection TO those States in all their
const:tutionaliy recognized rights, and ignoring
the great pending que stion distinctly negro
QUESTION. but as being TerTiforuL question look
ing only to the T, rritories the homes of free
white men, we endorse the aforesaid Republican
platform and accept it the cardinal chart of our
principles.
ResOlued. That in Abraham Lincoln and Hanni-
bal HIfnlIn recognize honest, capable reliable
and patriotic men, who will administer the affairs
of our Government in strict obedience TO the the
Dry of our Constitution and the teachings and
practice of our fathers, and with eye single to
the best interests of whole country, pledge
our united and Jealous efforts to elevate them to
the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United
States.
After reading of the Resolutions, which
were loudly applauded. the Chicago Plat |
form was read by the Secretary. which was
also received with frequent cheers.
The Chairman then announced that the |
meeting would be addressed by Col. VIM. |
Gilpin, of Independence. the Republican |
State EIeetor for this District.
Col. Gilpin took the stand ..amid the most
uproarious applause. and proceeded to de-
liver the most independent, scholarly, and |
Republican address that has ev-
er been heard in this city. Without de-
scendIng TO the usual trickeries and lodges |
Of stump orators, he made manifest the SUI
perior claims of the Republican party 10
popular favor and especially to the favor of
The people of the Northwest, by illusions /
10 the past history of our country; by Ie-
ferring to the action of the last Congress, |
and pointing out the objects and aims of |
the party for the future.
The Grafton was a most decided success,
and was greeted with repeated rounds of APP
plause from ali parties. Not even the most
radical opposer of III Republican party could
,avil at the positions taken by Col. Gilpin,
Or accuse him of unfairness in his State
nents or desire 10 produce agitation among
'ur citizens. Tie whole address of over an
1our's length was characterized by calm,
ogical augmentation. and thorough
of our political history. At the
conclusion of the address, the resolutions
we're carried unanimously, amid the most
Eociferous cheering.
The meeting then adjourned.
The practical effect of this meeting will
be felt in the future of this city far more
ensibly than at present. Heretofore it has
'een impossible 10 make Eastern people be-
ieve that our place was any thing more
han pro-slayery hole. where free speech
md free thought were held in allegiance to
he ,yranny of radical and eating cti-
ems. But now the whole country will not
My see but believe in il, and ere long we
hall see the fruits of this improvement in
he character of our citizens within the
'ast three years, in the rush of emigrrtion
nd wealth which viii shortly follow the an
ouncemant of this moot satisfactory meet
ne of Saturday evening.
