The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported as follows
ResoIUed, That this convention re-
affirm and endorse the National Re-
publican Platform adopted at Chicago
from beginning to end, both in letter
and spirit.
ReSolved, That the integrity and
timehonored Republicanism of Schuy.
Ter Colfax endear him to our hearts
as worthy of the second National
office; while the honesty, abilities
and patriotism Of Gen. Grant, tried
and illustrated amid the solemn is-
sues of many a battlefield, where up>
on his arm the nation leaned for res,
cue, demand both the exercise Of our
unbouded regard and all honorable
efforts from US to secure his election
as President of the United States.
ReS0lued, That in overcoming the
rebellion and conquering it's armies,
the National acquired the art of die
tating the terms of readjustment !;
that these terms could only be de-
clared by law duly enacted by the
people through their representative
in Congress, and not by the arbitrary
will of the Pr resident and that the
reconstruction policy OF Congress is
constitutional, just, wise and patriots
&c, and the proper and constitutional
manner of restoring republican forms
of government to the rebellious
States.
RESOLVED, That the avowal of the
Democratic party that they will over
throw by force of arms. or by will Of
the President, the state governments
of the late rebel states organized I'm
der Congressional authority now ap-
preaching completion, on the false
plea that the same are unconstitu-
tional and void, is deliberate at !.
tempt CT that party to surrender all
political power into the hands of their
friends and traitors who inaugerat>
the rebellion, and to deliver over the
Union men to the enemies of the
country without protection, to be
trampled beneath their feet.
Restored, That we earnestly main,
tain that the national debt is binding
on the national faith, conscience and
honor for perfect payment; that the
bounties to those who on land and
sea fought for the cause, the pensions
to those mutilated in battle, and TO
the widows and orphans of those
who died that our nation might live,
should be paid not only cheerfully
but sacredly; and every form of re-
pudiation is hostile to our sentiments
of justice, impolitic, ruinous to the
party that may approve it and to the
interests of the whole people and
in our opinion for the general gov.
eminent to Withhold or extort any
portion of the principal or interest
of the national debt pledged for pay
ment, is violation of the letter and
spirit of the laws under which said
debt was contracted, and demands
the disapproval and rebuke Of the
people.
ResolUed, That Hon. Amasa Cobb |
is entitled to the thanks of the Re-
publicans of this district for the in
tegrity with which be has discharg e.
ed his duties as the ropresen tative
from this district in Congress.
Report accepted, and adopted, and
discharged.
