the National Republican Union Party

cious attempt lately made to inaugu
rate appeals to arms and civil wal
from the legitimate results oflegal and
constitutional elections and having
placed American nationality on the
solid foundation of liberty ami the
rights of man, will elect to the Pres

racy, and who, with firmness, yet will

states manship, will heal the wounds

co operation of the peoples represen
tatives in Congress, will re- establish
the relations of the several states to {
regenerated Union, and to the bless
ings of everlasting domestic peace.
Resolved, That at this juncturt
the eyes of the country are directed
to one man, who is eminently quail
fled by his character, position, ante
cedents, and the universal confidence
which he enjoys, TO secure triumph
ant election next November, to ter,
inmate, when in office, the present
state of transition and suspense, and
to guide the nation to new era OF
good feelings and restored conf.
dence.
Resolved, That with Ulysses S.
Grant as our candidate for the pres
idency, Benjamin +. Wade for the
Vice Presidency, and the history OF
the last seven years for our platform,
we may confidently appeal to the
loyalty, patriotism and intelligence
of the American people.
: Resolved, That the chief objections
to the paciiication of the country has
been the persistent opposition OF An
/ drew Johnson to the reconstruction
OF civil government in the rsbelliOus
States, under the authority OF ma
tiOnal Legislation, by keeping alive
the spirit of rebellion and reviving
the hopes OF a restoration to political
power of its great ally, theDcmOeTatiC
party.
/ Resolved, That we approve and
applaud the action of the House ol
Representatives in the recent exercise
of its high constitutional prerOga
tives, by the impeachment of Andrew
Johnson for high crimes and misde.
meanOrs in Office, and believing it t.
be the constitutional function of the
Senate, sitting as court Of justice,
to finally determine every question ol
law and fact arising in the course oi
the prosecution, we invoke from all
parties a peaceable and law abiding
submission TO its judgment in the
case.
/ Resolved, That by the indecent
haste and precipitation with which the
Democratic Legislature of our State
rescinded the resolutions ratifying the
fourteenth amendment to the Consti
tution of the United States and thus
condemned the propositions contain
ed in the said amendment, PROPOSE
tions which the people of Ohio after 6
full and exhausting discussion had
endorsed with over forty thousand
majority, the Democratic party hal
!, again manifested that its restoration
to power would put in jeopardy tn,
results of our great struggle, undo
what has been accomplished by ths
war, and again plunge the country
J, into disorder, confusion and the dan
gers of secession, dlsintegration and
!. perhaps, a war of races, and that t.
! avoid the calamity Of Democratic
i victory it becomes the the duty of al
sitrue lovers of their country to unite
} ids regarding for the time being, al
side issues or questions OF minor i'm
port ance, until all danger of fatal re
action has passed and the fruits OF tn
war are permanently secured by tn
election of a loyal, reliable and patri
otic President
Resolved, That we cordially ap
9 prove of the determination of Con
= gress to retrench the expenses OF tn
{ government, and that we urge upOl
/, the national legislature the necessit,
: of the strictest economy, and re
q, duction of the army and navy, and
thorough revision and simpliiicatio
OF our system of Federal tax alton, s.
: as to equalize and tighten the burden
of the people.
Resolved, That the Bepublica
party pledges itself to the faithful
payment of the public debt, accord
/ ling to law, and we hereby express on
conviction that according to the law
, under which the Five-twenty bond
T, were issued; said bonds should b
> paid in the currency of the country
which may be legal tender when th
government shall be prepared to n
, deem such bonds.
Resolved, That we heartily approx
the policy of Congress in arrestin
contraction and believe that th
t issue of currency should be CONNIE
c surate with the industrial and CON
mercial interests of the people.
T. Resolved, That justice and SCUM

bear its equal share of the public bul
c dens and that this principle ought
