following resolutions
Resolved, That we adhere with undiminish-
ed confidence and pride TO the party that, by
its wisdom and courage, preserved the Union
by change in the organic law of the Repub-
lie and established liberty and equality. We

the Republican party will be secured the SER
vices of free government, that is the safeguard
of the Constitution, the promoter Of educa-

and equal rights,

try on the success of the present administra-
tion, which has without the increase of taxa
ton reduced the national debt over Sl6O,OOO,-
600, by an honest and economical collection OF
the revenue and large reduction OF the ex'
nenses of the government, and we especially
congratulate the country on the fact that this
policy has made il possible TO reduce the in
ternal revenue and tariff duties $4,000, 900,
thus relieving the people of their burdens to
this extent without impcriling the national
faith or honor
Resolved, That tariff for revenue is indis-
pensible and should be so adjusted as to be
the least prejudicial to the industrial and pro-
ducing interests OF every class or section,
while securing to the home producer fair
compensation against the foreign producer,
Resolved, That change OF our navigation
, laws so as TO admit the registration of vessels
purchased abroad is demanded by the best in
ercsis of the country, and that such action
|
the supremacy of the seas.
t Resolved, That the policy of granting sub
f sides of the public lands to corporations and
monopolies is unqualifedly condemned.
Resolved, That adhering to our traditional
} policy Vt neutrality, the American people
4 look with profound indifference upon any
/ European controversy regarding dynastic in
tcrests merely, and are concerned in the pres
ent struggle Between Germany and France on
c ly SO fur as the same involves the great prin
" ciples of liberty, and that while we remember
d that the great uprising of lS4S failed of sue
! cess mainly for want of Germanic union, ant
" that during our recent national trial the peo
c pie of Germany supported our cause will
d their sympathy and material aid, while the ar
q mics of France were endeavOring TO subvert {
republic on this continent and establish in III
stead an imperial throne, we cannot retrair
II from declaring our sympathy with the present
IT heroic efforts of the Germans to maintain ant
y defend their national unity.
n The last resolution was greeted with grea
d. applause, and all were unanimously adopted

IS We are now in possession of the off
|, cial accounts, from both sides, of the i'm
portaut proceedings OF Friday and Sat
l. urday, at the seat of war. They ma,
g be summed up IN few words. Tn
c whole Prussan line has been advanced
n and is.now in French territory. Tn
Y French ieit, centre, and right have beel
d met and driven back after desperate an,
/ bloody battles, in which the French los
c. heavily in men aud cannon. The Frencl
3, right has been isolated from the mai
Sc body, but ut last reports were endeavol
ing TO reach Nancy, at which place AM
lr Metz, the broken ranks OF the Frenc
in were endeavoring to reform. Strasbour,
at has been laid open - the German attack

n abandoned to the Baden troops, repor
~ ed crossing the Rhine to occupy it. Th

"' ability to resist attack, and that of til

- tho Prussian advance, are now the pril
sh cipal topic of French calculation. Meal
''e time Paris is in a state of feverish e.
IN citement, and the Empress is compele
res to publish an appeal to the people I
he preserve order, as "to agitate would |
III to conspire with our enemies" ,.
'ge The dispatches are very full, and the
Try is, for once, no important difference b
're tween the official accounts on eth
ors side. The forward movement OF Il
as Prussians commenced on Friday alor
icy the whole line, and tho crossing in
