Ohio Republican Resolutions.

The following resolutions were adopted
by the recent Republican State Conven-
ton of Ohio:
Resolved, That as citizens of the nation repre-
senting the Republican sentiment of our honored
commonwealth, we regard with sincere satisfac-
ton the fidelity evinced by General Grant to the
hepuDlcan party, and the policy, both foreign
ana domestic, of his national Administrations and
pledge our cordial support to the measures in
augnrated to insure concil'ation, economy and
Justice at home and command consideration and
respect abroad.
2. That we hail with pride the patriotic and con-
stltutlonal declaration of General Grant in his
inaugural address, that while he will on all SUBJ
Jects have policy to recommend to Congress, he
Will have none to enforce against the will of the
people-a sentiment which assures the country of
an executive administration founded on the ad-
mlnistration of Washington and Madison. and
mat Will secure to Congress the unrestricted exer-
else of its constitutional functions, and to the
people their rightfal control of the Government
y; That the abolition of slavery was a natural
ana necessary consequence of the war of the re-
Del1on, and that the REC Instruction measures of
Congress were measures we'll adapted to effect the
reconstruction of the Southern States, and secure
the blessings OF liberty and free government,
and as compl ;tion iof those measures and final
iy believing III its essential justice, we are in
favor OF the ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment TO the Constitution of the United States
a. That the late Democratic General Assembly,
In its reckless expenditures of public money; its
utter neglect OF the business interests of the
State by falling to enact the wise and much.need-
ed financial measures providing for the assess
ment and equalization of taxation prepared by
the commission appointed by the preceding Gen.
eral Assembly; its hostility to our benevolent and
literary institutions; its failure carry out the
repeated pledges of the Democratic party to Sc
cure 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
It's members alone, to more than double that of
the preceding General Assembly; its malignant
attempts to disfranchise disabled soldiers and
citizens OF the State Its attempt to take from the
General Government the right to pursue, ar
rest 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.
8. That the Republican party of Ohio is in favor
OF speedy establishment of Soldiers Orphans
Home in Ohio not only as an act of justice to the
many poor and helpless orphans of deceased
soldiers, but as recognition of the patriotic
services of their fathers in the late war, and for
tne 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.
