On motion the report of the committee
was accepted and adopted.
The report Of the committee on resoIu.
tions being called for, Hon, j, Nj Slade
submitted the following:
Resolved, That we, as Republicans, be-
lieving that the Republican party is the
truest and purest political organization of
the country, will continue to labor for its
prosperity and success; and that our love
for the best interests of the party as well
as our duty as honorable men, impels US
TO guard with jealous care every attempted
deviation from right and justice.
Resolred, That We rejoice in the signal
victory obtained by the friends of constitu-
tional liberty in 1868, bringing as it did,
peace, happiness and prosperity to our ma
ton.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse the
administration of President Grant, feeling
assured that he will fully carry out the
principles of his inaugural, and that INTEL
ligence, honesty, devotion to the national
constitution and answering loyalty to the
Government, will be required of all those
placed in positions of trust and responsible
ity.
Resolved, That we most heartily en-
dorse the financial policy of the Secretary
of the Treasury in paying off the national
debt, believing the best interests of the
nation urge and require its liquidation.
Resolved, That Senator Sumner is justly
entitled to the thanks of The nation for his
timely and powerful presentation, in his
recent speech, of the claims of the Ameri-
can people upon the British Government,
for its violation of the principles of inter,
national law during the late rebellion, for
its conniyance and secret completely with
leading rebels in their efforts to destroy
this Republic; and that it should be held
strictly responsible for the fitting olt of the
alabama" and other cruisers to prey
upon our commerce; and that an apology
is Justly due us, for its general unfriendly
attitude towards us in our terrible struggle
for national existence and free Goveren'
ment.
Resolved, That the Cubans are entitled
to our deepest sympathies in their struggle
for freedom from the despotic rule of Spain,
and we trust the day is not far distant
when that freedom shall be secured tt
them and the "Queen of the Antilles
become free Republican State, represent
ed in our Union and adding another stal
to the banner of the free.
ReSolled, That we still cherish with
fondness and gratitude the memory Of the
brave soldiers who went forth at nation;
call, to battle for its salvation, and who
sealed their devotion with their blood and
lives--freely shedding the one and giving
the other that in the beautiful language
Of the martyred Lincoln, this government
"of the people, for the people, and BY the
people should not perish from the earth
Mr.. Stewart took exception to the call
for an apology from England. A
sharp but friendly tilt ensued between
Messrs. Slade and Stewart, which resulted
in the conversion of the latter to the letter
and spirit of the resolution,
Hon. S. p. Nash seriously questioned
the wholesale endorsement of Mr. Sum
ner's position and views on the Alabama
question But he forebore OBTAINING
the convention, at this late hour, as it wa
time to adjourn.
The resolutions were again read and a
dopted. There being no further business
before the convention, on motion it ad
journed sine de.
