The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported as follows:
Resolcea, That this Convention reafirm
and endorse the National Republican Plat
form adopted at Chicago, from beginning to
end, both in letter and spirit.
Resoiyed, That the integrity and time-hon-
ored Republicanism of Schuyler Colfax en-
dear him to our hearts as worthy of the sec
ond national office; while the honesty, abil
itv and patriotism of Gen. Grant, tried and
illustrated amid the solemn issues of many
a battlefield, when upon his arm the ma
tion leaned for rescue, demand both the ex-
ercise of our unbounded regard and all hon
orable etfortsfrom to secure his election
as President of the United States.
Resolyed, That in overcoming the rebellion
and conQuering its armies, the Nation ac
quired the right of debating the terms of
re ad lustment; that these terms could only
be declared by law, duly enacted by the
people through their representatives. in Con-
gress, and not by the arbitrary will of the
President; and that the reconstruction pol
icy of Congress is constitutional, just, wise
and patriotic, and the proper and constitu-
tional manner of restoring republican forms
of government to the rebell' pus States.
ResolUea, That the avowal Of the Demo
cratic party that they will overthrow by
force of arms or by the will of the Presi
dent. the state governments of the late reb-
ell states, organized under Congressional au-
thority now approaching completion, on the
false plea that the same are unconstitutional
and void. is a deliberate attempt of that
party to surrender all political power into
the hands of their friends and traitors who
inaugurated the rebellion, and to deliver
over the Union men to the enemies of the
country without protection, to be trampled
beneath their feet.
Res0lUe1 That we earnestly maintain that
the national debt is binding on the ma
tionaI faith conscience and honor for per-
feet payment; that the bounties to those
who on land and sea fought for the cause,
the pensions to those mutilated IT battle,
and to the widows and orphans of those who
died that our nation might live, should be
paid not only cheerfully but sacredly; and
every form of Reputation is hostile to our
sentiments of justice, impolitic, ruinous to
the party that may approve 1t and to the
interests of the whole people; and, in onr
opinion, for the genera. government to with
hold or extort any portion of the principal
or interest of the national debt pledged for
payment, is violation of the letter and
spirit of the laws under which said debt was
contracted, and demands the disapproyal
and rebuke of the people.
Resolued, That Hon. Amasa Cobb is enti
tied to the thanks of the Republicans of this
district for the integrity with which he has
discharged his duties as the representative
from this district in Congress.
