adopted:
ResolUed, That we approve of the
call made by the Executive Commit
tee of the Union party of Kentucky,
for a State Convention to be held at
Frankfort on the 9th day OF Febru-
airy, 1868. tsEe- trsss.ses
ResolUed, That it is the duty of
every Union man in the country to
unite heartily In all honorable means
to defeat the Democratic party-the
party which brought on the war and
endeavored, not only during the war,
but since to make it failure on the
part of the United States, and sue
cess on the part of the rebels-the
party which we believe has SO far pre-
vented, and is still endeavoring to
prevent, the restoration of the coun-
try to union, peace, and prosperity.
ReSO iced. That we believe that but
for the Continued determination of
the Democratic party that the war on
the part OF the United States should
prove failure, and the rebellion a
success, and its continued efforts to
make 1t so-the measures of the Re-
publican party, would not only have
restored the Union, but brought
peace, harmony, and prosperity. to
the country.
Resoboed, That we are for sustain
ing the credit Of the Government.
and for the payment Of the public
debt to the last cent; but we believe
that for these purposes, the taxes
should be so arranged as to bear as
lightly as possible on the business of
the country, and raise for the present
only sufficient revenue to carry on the
Government economically, and pay
interest, leaving to more prosperous
times to make provisions for paying
the principal of the debt
ResolUed, That in Gen. u. S. Grant
we recognize the tried patriot, soldier,
and statesman, whose destiny it is,
after having led the armies of the
Union successfully through the war,
to lead the nation safely out of its
troubles. He is our choice for Presi-
dent. So, 70
