The Waynesburg Republican. [volume] (Waynesburg, Pa.) 1867-18??, 1868-04-22

That this career may be honorably
won; that this history may be fully
wrought out, we must be empowered
with noble ambition to pay our hon
est debts, our government bonds in
coin, as stipulated at the time of their
issue; and repudiate the Democratic
doctrine of reputation or "grecn back
issue system"
ReSoiued, That we have the most
unbounded confidence in the destiny
of the Republican party. To the pa
triot, the lover of law and liberty, and
to the thoughtful man, it presents a
record anterior to and during the re-
bellion, full of deep interest; and as
page after page of its futnre history is
unfolded, we will read the progress of
its great mission in removing the diff
culties in which our nation became in
volved by Democratic rebellion which
it took four years of war to conquer.
1t will bring the revolted States back
to their proper place in the Union,
purified and purged of their trcasona-
bic democracy which drove them to
the verge of ruin, and place the gov
ernment in moorings provided for it
by tile fathers and establish in it the
reign Of Justice, humanity and equal
rights.
Rcsotced, That we endorse the ac-
tion Of Congress upon the impeach-
lnent of the President, and approve
its legislation in general as wise and
patriotic.
Rcsolrsd, That we offer our CRATE
inl acknowledgements to the gallant
soldiers of the Union army; it is their
need that we should do so. Their
privations, dangers and noble patriot
ism displayed in. opposing and con-
quering rebellion, entities them to the
respect and confidence of every true
man and woman in this great repub-
lie.
