l. RESOLVED, That we adhere with IN
confidence and pride to the
party that by its wisdom and courage
preserved the Union, and by q change
in the organic law Of the republic estab-
lished liberty and equality. We believe
by the continued ascendency OF the
Republican party Will be secured the
success Of free government; that it is
the safeguard Of b constitution, the
promoter Of education, order, thrift uni
yersal freedom, and equal rights.
2 Resolved, 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 100000 by an honest and
economic collection Of the revenue and
a large reduction Of the expenses OF the
government; and we especially con-
gratulats the country on the fact that
this policy has made il possible 20 reduce
the internal reYenue and tariff duties
SS0,OO0,OO0, thus relieving the people Of
heir burdens to that extent without
imperiling the national faith and honor.
s. Resolved, That q tariff for revenue is
indispensable and should be so adjusted
as 70 be the least prejudicial to the in
dustrial and producing interests Of every
class or section while securing to the
home producer q fair competition against
the foreign producer.
4 ReSolUed, That a change Of our navi-
cation laws 50 as to admit Of the regis
tratiOn Of vessels purchased abroad is
demanded by the best interests Of the
country, and that such action would
largely contribute toward the r~estora-
ton Of our plundered commerce and
the supremacy Of the seas.
3. ReSoIUed, That the policy Of grant
ing subsidies Of public lands to corpora
tions and monopOhes is unqualihedly
condemned.
6. ResolUed, That adhering 70 our ira
ditional policy Of neutrality the Ameri-
can people look with profound indiffer-
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 princi-
pies of liberty; and while w 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 n with their sympathy and ms
terial aid, while the armies Of France
were endeaYoring to subvert a republic
on this continent and establish IN its stead
an imperial throne, we cannot refrain
from declaring our sympathy with the
present heroic efforts Of the Germans TO
establish, maintain and defend their Is
tiOnsl unity.
The resolutions were adoptedunani-
mOusly.
The resolution in regard to Ger
many was received with u~proarious
applause.
On motion the Convention ad-
journed.
