The report was adopted
Mr.. Allison from Committee on Res
olutions, reported as follows:
The Republican Convention assem-
bled at Des Moines on the 3lst day of
July, A. ID. 1861, adopts the following
RESOLUTIONS.
LIST. Renewing our declarations of unalterable
devotion to the Constitution and Union of the
States, to the doctrines of the Declaration of
Independence and to the law of submission to
the will of the majority, constitutionaly cx-
pressed, we again commend each and all of
these corner stones of our Government to the
unchanging affection of the people of Iowa.
ID. That this Convention in behalf of its
own immediate constituency, and of all patri-
otto citizens acknowledges with profound graf
itude, the prompt dedication Of life and for
tune 10y our gallant Volunteers, in response
| to the appeal made to a loyal people by a pa
triotic President, and in this action creditable
alike to the Administration and to the people
A. witness "A rpturp of fh. noble spirit nf tho
| Revolution.
3D.. That the new doctrine of secession is
a wicked abomination, as abhorrent to patri-
otism, as it is alien to the Constitution, de-
moralizng in its principle, and destructive in
| its action, disguise to treason, and an apollo
| gy for traitors, the ruin of commerce and the
dissolution of political society, the mother of
| all yillainies, and as such we utterly reject,
| and hold it in absolute detestation.
| 4th. That Government always means CO.
ercion when its lawful authority is resisted
and those who oppose ' coercion " necessarily
oppose Government itself, and deny to it the
only power by which it can be maintained.
Anti-coercion therefore is only another of their
DISCUSSES Of treason, by which it hopes so to
weaken the Government at present, as to
overthrow it in the future, and We brand it
as hypocrisy and rcpudiate 1t.
| 9Th. Having by our first War of '76 won our
4
Constitution and Union, and having by our
second war of 1872 maintained our National
integrity against the most formidable of for
eign foes, it now remains for us to establish
that integrity for all years to come against in
ternal foes, and in this third and last great
trial of our country's history in its struggle
| to maintain that system Of government which
has been the admiration of the world, whoev-
| er hesitatcs OF falters should receive the exc.
Grafton Of mankind, as he surely will the re-
proaches of posterity.
9Th. The value of the Constitution and the
Union cannot be measured by dollars and
cents nor Ivy the span of human life, and
there should be no limit to appropriations of
men and money for their preservation, except
the amount requisite for certain success, We
therefore cordially approve both the action of
the President in calling for men and money
and the action of Congress in placing at his
| DISPOSAL more of both than he demanded thus
