RESOLUTIONS.
l. Resolved, That we adhere with un-
diminished confidence and pride to the
party that, by its wisdom and courage
preserved the Union, and by change in
the organic law of the Republic estab-
lished liberty and equality. We believe
that by the continued ascendency of the
Republican party, viii be secured the
success Offree government; that it is the
safeguard of the Constitution, the pro-
moter of education, order, industry,
thrift, universal freedom, and equal
right.
2. ResoLUed, That we congratulate the
country on the success of the present
administration, which has, without in
crease of taxation, reduced the National
debt over Sl56, ,00O,O 900 by an honest and
economic collection of the revenue and
large reduction of the expenses of the
Government, and we especially congrat-
ulate the country on the fact that this
policy has made it possible to reduce the
internal revenue and tariff dutios $780,
000,00 thus relieving the people of their
burdens to that extent without imperil-
ing the National faith and honor.
r.
is Indispensable, and should be so ad
justed as to be the least prejudical to the
industrial and producing interests of
every class or section, while securing to
the home producer a fair competition
against the foreign producer.
4. ResOlUed, That change of our
navigation laws so as to admit of the
registration of vessels, purchased abroad,
is demanded by the best interests of the
country, and that such action would
largely contribute towards the restOra-
ton of our plundered commerce and the
supremacy of the seas.
5. ReSolUed, That the policy of grant
ing subsidies of public lands to corpora
tions and monopolies is unqualifiedly
condemned.
6. Resolved, That adhering to our ira
ditional policy of neutrality, the Ameri-
can people look with profound indifIer-
ence upon any European controversy
regarding dynastic interests merely, and
are concerned in the present struggle
between Germany and France only so
far as the same involves the great prin-
ciples of liberty; and while we remember
that the great uprising of 1S4S failed of
success, mainly for want of Germanic
union, that during our recent national
trial the people Of Germany supported
our cause with their sympathy and ma
terial aid, while the armies of France
We're endeavoring to subvert Republic
on this continent, and establish in its
stead an imperial throne, we cannot
refrain from declaring our sympathy
with the present heroic effort of the
Germans to establish, maintain and
defend their national unity.
The resolutions were adopted unani-
mously.
The resolution in regard to Germany
and others were received with uproari-
Gus applause.
