Resolred, That the thanks of this
Convention are due to the retiring
Central Committee, and that We
heartily tender them the same.
The Committee on resolutions,
through their chairman, Capt. S. S.
Petit, reported the following which
was adopted without a dissenting
voice: - Hi 5-a.+'T ~
Rcsolped, That in the Republican par
ty of this country we recognize the
principles of justice, equality and ma
tionality, which were triumphantly
vindicated and carried out in the late
war, and in them see the only hope OF
political liberty and genuine republi-
canism in this country.
Resolred, That the efforts being made
by the present patriotic Congress to-
wards reconstruction, and its unalter-
able purpose, to maintain in cioiat the public
faith and national credit, lessening the
burthen of taxation in cutting off all
useless expenditures, and insisting
upon the most thorough economy in
meets with our unqualified approval.
Resoloed, That the great question in
vOlved in reconstruction is, whether
unwashed Rebels or Union men shall
be the representatives OF a Free people,
and upon this question we emphati-
cally declare in favor of the latter.
Resotoed, That we claim for this part
of Ohio, a respectful hearing in the
coming State Convention, as to our
right to be represented ON the State
Ticket by one of our citizens, and
press our claim from the fact that no
candidate has ever been on the State
Ticket from this District. a.r,a-.z
Resolred, That we present in the per-
son of our fellow-citizen Gen. I. NJ.
Kirby, our first choice for Secretary. of
State, a most able and efficient candi-
date, the true patriot. the tried soldier,
and one who is eminently qualified and
equal to the times.
ResoLred, That in the person of Gen.
U. S. Grant, we recognE a patriot who
has won for himself the admiration of
all loyal men, for the position he has
taken upon the issues which have
sprung up between a faithless Presi-
dent and patriotic Congress; that we
regard his brilliant military record
with admiration, his earnest and uni
form devotion to the wants of his SOL
diers, his great prudence and firmness
give assurance that his nomination
would inspire universal confidence and
enthusiasm, and be followed by his
triumphant election. therefore this con-
vention declares its preference in favor
of his nomination for the Office of Pies
ident of the United States. r.
Resoloed, That the recent glorious
victory in the 9Th Congressional Dis
trict, assures us that the reaction of
last fall has happily reacted" and we
earnestly entreat every man who cher
ishes a hope for the Union, to lay aside
all minor differences, to forget all per-
sonal considerations, forget that last
year we were partly defeated. through
fraud and otherwise. We have a Re
publican majority in this State, let
work and victory" be our motto, and
we will carry our State by one hundred
thousand majority this fall. s.
On motion adjourned. 9s'
