The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
/. Resolced, That, as citizens of a
nation representing the Republican
sentiment of an honored Common
wealth, we regard with sincere salts
faction, the fidelity evinced by Gen
Grant to the Republican party, and
the policy, both foreign and domestic,
of his national administration, and
pledge our cordial support to the
measures inaugurated to insure con-
citation, economy and justice at home,
and command consideration and re-
spect abroad.
2. That we hail with pride the
patriotic and constitutional declara-
ton of Gen. Grant in his inaugural
address, that while he will in oil sub
jects have policy to recommend to
Congress, he will have none to en-
force against the will Of the people,
sentiment which assures the coun-
try of an executive administration,
founded on the administration OF
Washington and Madison, and that
will secure to Congress the IN
restricted exercise of its constitu-
tional function, and to the people
their rightful control of the govern
ment
3. Resoloed, That the abolition of
slavery was a natural and necessary
consequence Of the war of the rebel
lion, and that the reconstruction
measures of Congress were measures
well adapted to effect the reconstruc-
tiOn of the Southern States, aud
secure the blessings of liberty and a
free government, and as compile
ton of those measures, and finally,
believing in its essential Justice, we
are in favor of the ratification of the
18th amendment to the constitution
of the United States.
4. RESOLVED, That the late Dem
ocratic General Assembly in its reck.
less expenditures of public money, its
utter neglect of the business interests
of the State by failing to enact the wise
and much needed financial measures
providing for the assessment and
equalization of taxation prepared by
the commission appointed by the pre-
ceding General Assembly; its hostility
to our benevolent and literary institu-
tions ; its failure to carry out the re
peated pledges of the Democratic
party 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 members alone, to more than
double that ofthe preceding general
assembly its malignant attempts to
disfranchise the disabled soldiers and
citizens of the State; its attempt to
take from the general government the
right to pursue, arrest and punish
those who violate the laws, made in
pursuance of the constitution of the
United States, and the vicious acts
intended to destroy the power of the
nation, to preserve and protect the
liberty and safety of its citizens, has
shown the Democratic party unworthy
of the trust, confidence and support OF
an honest and patriotic people.
5th. That the Republican party of
Ohio is in favor of the speedy estab
lishment ofa Soldiers Orphans Home,
in Ohio, not only as an act of justice
to the many poor and helpless orphans
of deceased soldiers, but as a recogni-
nitisn ofthe patriotic services of their
fathers in the late war, and for the
purpose of redeeming the pledges
made by all loyal people to protect
the families of those who fought and
fell in the cause of human liberty and
right.
