Committee on Resolutions, through Geo. II.
Klowton, reported as follows:
1. Resolrei, That we cordially endorse the
patriotic action of the Republicans Of Maine,
at their State Convention recently held ut
Augusta, and that In this hour Of our country s
q. al Wa
will make common cause with all loyal men,
who will unite with us in sustaining the Ma
tional Administration, in the most vigorous
measures to put down treason and rebellion, pre-
serve the Union and maintain the Constitution
and laws of the United States.
2. RssOired, That we have with extreme re-
greet and modification seen majority OF the
chosen Representatives of what was once the
Democracy of Maine. at their recent State Con-
vention, taking ground against the Government.
and falling to utter one word Of condemnation
of the traitors of the South now in rebellion
against the constituted authorities we arraign
the leaders in that Convention rs the enemies
of their country, as the alder and abbetors and
accessories either before or after the fact OfJef
ferson Davis and his confederate traitors, and for
this high crime against the Union and Constitu.
ton and Humanity. we believe the people will
not fail to sternly rebuke them at the ballot
boxes.
3. Resoirei, That the experience of the last
eight years, conclusyely proves that the Efforts
of selfish men to accomplish objects for their
own benefit have become most dangerous ele-
ment in our political system. Hence we deem
II highly important that the Republican party
should not initiate the example of modern De-
mocracy by permitting scheming politicians to
control its organization for their own pers )nal
advantage, and in order that our party may oc-
cupy an elevated moral position In this respect,
every voter should attend meetings and exert
his influence in favor Of eleyating to office, as
far as possible, men Of integrity intelligence
and patriotism. 80.
4. ResoIrei, That our National Administra-
ton prof,ing by the reckless course Of its i'm
mediate predecessors should exercise yigilant
watch TO prevent corrupt men from becoming
the recipients of Government patronage. And
IN n special manner should promptly reject oil
applicants for favor, who have forfeited the
confidence of their own people.
Resolred, That approaching the eminent
public service and self-sacriiicing patriotism of
Hon, Israel Washburn Jr., we bespeak for him
that united support, which will strike terror to
the hearts of traitors and convince them that
Maine Will stand firmly by the Constitution and
the Union, to the last.
6. Resolred, That we heartily endorse the
nominations for Senators, Clerk of the Courts,
County Attorney, County Treasurer, and Coun-
ty Commissioner, made this day by this Con-
yention, and that we will give them our undiyi-
dcd AMI earnest support
On motion, voted, that Gamaliel E. Smith

Voted, That Jacob Black, Of Limington. be
a member of the County Committee the ensu-
ing year. in place of G. L. Smith, declined.
