The following Committee on resolutions
was then appointed; W. W. Holden, Jas.
F. Taylor, j. 81. Harris Washington Hayes,
and one from each election precinct. The
following resolutions were then reported and
adopted ~
| Resotced, That we endorse the platform
| of principles laid down by the Conventions
of the Republican, party Of the State, held
in Raleigh, on the 9th Of March and the 4th
of September, 1857. Y
ResoIced, That organization is indispensa-
BILE to the success OF Republican principles,
and that the organization, of the Re
publican party of this State must be main
tanned.
Resolpsd, That merit, including honesty,
fidelity and capability, should be the test
for office among Republicans !; that any 9th
er test would be unwise and anti Republican
| in its character: that we will not encourage
any expressions or conduct calculated or
intended to excite one portion of our people
against another, on account of nativity or
color. Every citizen of the State who is
loyal, and whose devotion to the nation is
paramount, is entitled, so far as hereconstruc-
ton acts will permit, to the support of Re-
puhlicans for places of honor and trust /; and
we would profoundly deprecate any steps
that would array race against race, our adop-
ted fellow-citizens against natives, or the
latter against our adopted fellow citizens.
Resolued, That we declare our fixed and
unalterable adherence to the great principle
of Manhood Suffrage; and that we will
support no man for Office, from the lowest
office to the highest, who does not pledge
himself openly and unequivocably to the
maintenance of this great principle. s.,e.
Rssolced, That in view of the necessary de-
lay in establishing State system of free
schools, it is highly desirable that the Coun-
ty should sustain free schools in every pre-
cinct, and we request the County Court to
take appropriate action on this matter.
The Committee on nominations reported
as follows, through their Chairman, Mr..
lowing names j. H. Harris, s. d. Franklin,

desired to withdraw his name-there were
