Let the conservative Republicans Of
Minnesota contrast the manly and cordial
language of the New York resolutions
with the constrained and meaningless Ut
tennce Of their own Convention:
Rssolued, That the administration of the
FOUR YEARS, in the hands Of the late Ia.
mented President, Abraham Lincoln, and in
the hands Of the present executive, Andrew
johnson, in all their efforts to preserve the
Union and the liberties of the country, meets
with our hearty approval and concurrence.
And let them also contrast the above
resolution with the following offered by
DR.. WELCOME, which was kicked out of
the Convention:
RESOLVED, That we recognize In the civil and
military acts of President johnson as they
stand out before the world during the darkest
period OF the nations trial, the fearless patriot
the able statesman, the honest man, and that
We pledge to his wise and patriotic measures
for the restoration of the Union our cordial
support.
The Republican party of this State, by
the domineering radicalism of it's unprin-
cipled leaders, has been placed in virtual
antagonism with the reconstruction mes-
sures of President JOHNSON. These lead
ers dare not openly denounce the Presi-
dent, for by so doing their influence with
the honest masses would be endangered,
but they hope, through the action of Con-
gress, to thwart all his measures of recon-
struction, and to make him q mere tool
in their hands to execute the basest par
tisan schemes
