| RESOLUTIONS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
The State Executive committee of the Repub-
lican party me. at Raleigh Saturday the 5th
inst, and adopted the following resou:ions
| l. Resolved, That in accordacce with the plan
of organization adopted by the late Convention,
| the following Committees be appointed to act
for their respective Counties. That in the alb
sence of further information as to suitable persons
tee will not proceed at present beyond these ap-
pointments; but that the Republicans of the vari-
Gus counties are hereby respectfully requested to
designate, in conventions public meetings, suit
able persons for said Committees, and to trans
nit the names to the Chairman of the Repub-
lican State Committee at Raleigh, to be announ-
ced such
Resolved, That call political power is YES
ted IN and derived from the people only" That
this great truth was fully recognized and subseri-
bed to by the late Republican State Convention;
aud that it was not the purpose of that body to
dictate 20 the Republicans of the State by the
plan of organization which was recommended, or
to use said plan to the detrment or injury of any
portion Of the Republican party of the State,
3. Resolved, That organization is indispensa:
ble to the success of Republican principles, and
that the organization of the Republican party of
this State must be maintained
4. Resolved, That merit, including honesty,
fidelity and capability, should be the test for Of
flee among Republicans: that any other test
would be unwise and anti Republican in its char
acter; aud that we will not encourage any ex-
pressions or conduct calculated or intended to ex
cite one portion of people against another, on
account Of nativity or color. Every citizen ofthe
State who is loyal, and whose devotion to the
nation is paramount, is entitled, so far the re-
construction acts will permit, to the support of
Republicans for places Of honor aud trust; and
We would profoundly deprecate any steps that
would array race against race, our adopted fellow
citizens against natives, or the latter against our
adopted fellow citizens.
5. Resolved, That we earnestly appeal to our
Republican fellow citizens throughout the State
to preserve their organization, aud to be dill
gent, Jealous and active In the great work of
reconstruction and restoring the State to the
Union on loyal basis.
6. Resolved, That the whole question of re-
construction, including confscaion and relief
from political disabilities, is in the hands Of
wise aud patriotic Congress-; that we have full
confidence in that body, and believe that, in all
respects, it will do what is best for our people
and for the preservation of American liberty.
T. Resolved, That in the opinion of this
Committee, it is not the wish of Congress or of
the Republican party that private property
should be cou6scated for political offences; but
that, to avert such result in the future, as
we'll as to secure to oar people the innumerable
benefits aud blessings of the Union, it is highly
important that they avail themselves promptly
and in good faith of the reconstruction act Of
Congress And further, that 10 the opinion of
this Committee, it is not the purpose of Con-
gress to continue beyond safe proper period
the disabilities unavoidably imposed on loyal
Union men, but it is believed such disabilities
should and will be removed 10 due time, from
all who may be clearly Enthusiastically and shown
to possess the confidence of the Republican
party Of the State.
On motion, the committee adjourned, subject
to the call Of the Chairman.
