The following resolutions were unam-
mousIy adopted:
1st. Rc2oiced That rs citizens Of the
nation, representing the Republican sea-
timtnt Of an honored commonwealth we
regard with sincere satisfaction the 1idel-
ity evinced by Gen. Grant to the Repub-
lican party and the policy, both foreign
and domestic, Of his national admins
tration, and pledge our cordial support
to the measures inaUgurated to insure
cancellation, economy and justice at
home and command consideration and
respect abroad.
ID That we hail with pride the pat"i-
otto and constitutional declaration Of
Gen. Grant. in his inaugural address. that
while he will on all subjects have poll
cy to recommend to Congress, he will
have none to enforce against the will OF
the people, sentiment which assures
the country of all Executive Admins
tration founded on the Administration of
! Washington and Madison, and that will
secure to Congress the unrestricted exer-
else Of its constitutional functions, and
to the people their rightful control Of
! the Government.
Sd. That the abolition Of slavery was
a national and necessary consequence of
the war Of the Republic and that the re-
construction measures of Congress were
measures well adapted to effect the re-
construction Of the Southern States and
secure the blessings Of liberty and free
government and as a completion OF
those measures, and finally, believing in
its essential justice, we are in favor OF
the ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
mcnt to the Constitution of the United
States.
4th. That the late Democratic General
Assembly, in its reckless expenditure OF
the public money its utterneglcct of the
business interests Of the State by failing
to enact the wise and much-needed finan-
cial measures providing for the assess
ment and equalization of taxation pre-
pared by the Commission appointed by
the preceding General Assembly; its
hostility to our benevolent and literary
Institutions; its failure TO carry out the
repeated pledges OF the Democratic par
ty to secure economy in the State; its
extraordinary length of session in time
of peace, resulting in an expense to the
State, amounting for the pay Of its mem
!, bers alone t. more than double that OF
the preceding General Assembly its ma
liguant attempts to disfranchise disabled
soldiers and citizens Of the State; its at
tempt to take from the General Govern
ment, the right to pursue, arrest and pun
! ish those Who violate the laws made il
) pursuance Of the Constitution Of tht
United States, and the vicious acts in
, tended to destroy the power of the ma
l ton to preserve and protect the liberty
and safety of its citizens, has shown the
5 Democratic party unworthy of the trust
confidence and support of an honest ant
patriotic people,
: 9th. That the Republican party o
, Ohio is in favor of the speedy establish
| mont Of Soldiers Orphau's Home il
Ohio, not only as an act Of justice to tht
l many poor and helpless orphans of de
Y ceased soldiers, but as a recognition o
+ the patriotic services Of their fathers il
/ the late war and for the purpose of re
leving the pledges made by all loya
f people to protect the families Of thos
e who fought and fell in the cause Of hu
/ man liberty and right.
