AFTERNOON.
| The committee on resolutions through
their chairman, Hon } VI Slade, sub
mitted the following
| Re,olpei. That we heartily ratify the
| nominations of the National Republi-
| can Convention al Chicago that in
| Ulysses S Grant we hail the great sol
| der, unselfish patriot and profound
| statesman whose courage and wisdom
led the country safely through the per
lis Of the Rebellion aud will lead it with
equal safety out Of all It's present dan
gers that in Schuyler Colfa7 we recog-
| nize an experienced and upright cham
piop of the people, who Is worthy ofthe
entire confidence Of every citizen with
out regard to sectional considerations
or past political relationships.
Resolved, That the reconstruction of
the Rebel States on the basis Of equal
suffrage for all loyal men, will alone
give peace and prosperity to that dis
| tracted region, and should be carried
forward with energy to a speedy con-
summation.
RGolged, That We cordially approve
the policy of paying the public debt
according to the spirit and the letter OF
the contract, and that in the hands OF
| Grant and Colfax the credit OF the Ma
ton shall never be impaired
Rssolred, That Notwithstanding the
enthusiastic satisfaction with which
the nominations OF Grant and Colfsx
have been received by the people gen
orally, it Is indispensable to our success
that those who desire the speedy resto-
ration of harmony and prosperity
throughout the country, should unite
in one great cooperative effort to secure
the triumph Of our cause at the polls !;
that enthusiasm must not be allowed
to take the place of earnest work during
the campaign, nor must the signal ex-
cellence of our candidates, and the pat
riotic soundness Of our principles, bring
that false security which relaxes effort,
before every available vote Is deposited
in the ballot box.
Resolped. That We shall find opposing
us those men, and only those, who re-
! fused to give dollar or q man to the
Government in the hour of its eXtrem-
! ity, whose last national utterance was
that the war Tor national existence was
a failure and whose long possession of
power eliminated in the greatest and
most wicked rebellion known to the
history of civilized man
Hon W Stewart, OF Middlebury was
called out and spoke to the resolutions,
supporting them earnestly, Patriotic re-
marks were also made by the President
After n discussion in which Messrs
