Mr.. Coone, in the absence of EX
/ Governor Dennison, Chairman o
the Committee on Resolutions, reat
the following: Alal -
L. RESOLVED, That we adhere will
undiminished confidence and pride
to the party that, by its wisdom ant
courage preserved the Union, ant
by change in the organic law o
the Republic established liberty ant
equality. We believe that by the
continued ascendancy of the Repub
lican party, will be secured the sue
cess of free government; that it is
the safeguard of the Constitution
the promoter of education, order
industry, thrift, universal freedom
and equal rights. .s..-r..--
2. RESOLVED, That we cOngratu
late the country on the success o
the present administration, which
has, without increase of taxation
reduced the National debt Ovel
$156, 100000, by an honest and eco
nomic collection of revenue and :
large reduction of the expenses o
the Government, and we especially
congratulate the country on the fac
that this policy has made it possible
to reduce the internal revenue an(
tariff dutie$SO, 900, 900, thus relieving
the people of their burdens to that
extent without imperiling the
National faith and honor. tl-''''~
3. RESOLVED, That a tariff fol
revenue is Indispensable, and should
be so adjusted as to be the least pre-,
ljudical to the industrial and produc-
/ ing interests Of every class or sec
ton, while securing to the home
producer a fair competition against
the foreign producer. -,.lic 4.a -.,.
4. RESOLVED, That a change of Oul
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 restoration of oul
commerce and the supremacy OF the
seas. iu 'i -'' t'-.- '...- a.--'
5. RESOLVED, That the policy OF
granting subsidies of public lands
to corporations and monopolies. is
unqualifiedly condemned.
6. RESOLVED, That adhering to our
traditional policy of neutrality, the
American people look with profound
indifference upon any European con-
troversy regarding dynastic interests
merely, and are concerned in the
present struggle between Germany
and France only so far as the same
involves the great principfrs OF M
erty; and while We remember that
the, great uprising of 1S4S failed OF
success, mainly for want of Ger
manic union, that during our recent
national trial the people of Germany
supported our cause with their sym
pathy and material aid, while the
armies of France were endeavOring
to subvert u Republic on this conti-
nent, and establish in its stead an
imperial throne, We cannot refrain
from declaring our sympathy with
