At the Republican State Convention
held in st. Paul last week, the present
State officers were re-nominated and the
following resolutions passed.
WHEREAS, At the present hour, oul
national existence and that of civil apd
political liberty are alike imperilled.-
Therefore,
Resolved, That in presenting the can
didates this day nominated, we go to the
people upon the Issue, viz: That this
government shall be sustained and the
Union shall be preserved; and that, for
the attainment of these ends, we pledge
an unfaltering support to the National
Administration in its efforts to suppress
this Ubiquitous rebellion by an earnest
and vigorous prosecution of the present
war.
Resolved, That we cordially invite all
who regard the preservation of this Un-
ion as the great object of present desire,
to unite with us in a common effort to
save the best government known among
men. - - is $3.50 aa......
Resolved, That we concur in and en-
dorse the following sentiments recent y
promulgated by that distinguished Dem
ocat, Major General Benjamin F. Butler,
of Massachusetts,, TO wit: ''That in a
state of rebellion we would confiscate that
which is to oppose our arms, and take
all property, $50 called), which constitutes
the wealth of the rebellieus States and
furnishes the means by which the war is
prosecuted, besides being the cause Of the
war: and if, in so doing, it should be OBJ
iected that human beings were brought to
the free enjoyment of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, such objection might
not require much consideration"
