The Republican Union Party of Camp

do resolve,
lst That we still stand where We have always
stood H1dcr the Union flag, alike ready to vim
dictate its honor and its integrity, and claiming
the glories and the benefits showered upon all
beneath its halowed folds
ID. That wereafiru our devotion to, and con-
iidence in the grcG, Republican Union party,
that party that, having saved the nation in the
near past, is now striving to make it worth saw
ing for all time to come
Sd. That our honored President, Gen. Grant,
has by his incorruptbe devotion to the materi-
al interests of the country, and by his unpara-
leled success in paying off the National debt
proved himself rs great in peace as in war, and
as well worthy to govern the nation his sword
did so much to save
4th That recognizing the nations debt as the
purchase money of the nations Gte we will
never repudiate any portion thereof while hon
or OF patriotism dwels in our bosoms, but are ever
willing to bear our Just proportion of taxes to
pay the last cent thereof, and we respectfully
submit that the party that caused this debt
should be the last to complain about its being
paid, since we who caused il not are willing to
share the burden
education is the foundation of liberty, we favor
a system of free schools wherein every child can
be educated, and whereby every teacher can be
justly paid and we denOunce the recent Demo-
cratic Legislature of Tennessee as unjust to the
children and as oppressive if not dishonest to
the teachers of our State.
9th That we are not tired of being repre-
sented by Union men, or casting Union votes,
but that in the future, as in the past, we shall
steadily vote for Union men and Union princ-
piles, as well in State rs in national politics
9TH. That we counsel and shall strive for har-
mony in our party, as essential to success, be-
heying, as we do, that n Union disorganizer is as
bad as a rebel enemy; and that we favor con-
cert of action in political campaigns, and declare
our motto to be "One flag, one cause, and one
Ledder."
Sth. That we endorse the course of our hon
ored Representative, Horace Maynard, and are
in favor of his reelection, well knowing that he
can be trusted, come what may, and being salts
fled that his denomination is the thing our De-
mocratic enemies least desire, and most fear.
The resolutions were adopted by accla-
nation, amid much enthusiasm.
On motion of DIR. John Jones. the KNOX
WILLIE CHRONICLE was requested to pub
lish the proceedings.
