The Re.o,u,io0.. o, The Convention

The resolutions adopted by the Re-
publican State Convention appear in
another column. They are full of meat.
Not only do they speak in Just terms of
the relations of the Government and
the rebellion-not ouly do they de-
nounce in fit language the stupendous
crime of an attempt TO overthrow free
institutions i'm the destruction of this
G0yernment-not only do they breathe
Q most fervent loyalty and declare for
. generous support of the Government.
but they contain in themselves com
pact argument in defense of the Gov
eminent policy, that has not been ex-
ceeded in acuteness, and a most en-
eouraging and fcrcible summary Of
what has been done toward the sup.
preston of the rebellion. There is no
croaking or carping in them. With or
without Republican choice of measures
they are for the Government. They
will bear reading and re reading. We
commend them TO the attention. Of the
reader.
