| The committee on Resolutions report
ed the following which was unanimous.
ly adopted:
Reso1red By The Republicans in Co,rtn.
ton assembled, as tolIotrs:
First-The Republican party Of tie
United States may well challenge the
admiration and confidence Of the coun-
try for its patriotism, wisdom and
courage in preserving the Union OF the
States for its justice, frmness and
magnanimity in establishing for all peo-
pie liberty and equality before the law,
for its gratitude and generous provisions
for the National defenders and pension
ers, for its inyiolate honor and good faith
toward the National creditors, and gene.
rally for its successful administration Of
public affairs in peace as well as in war.
Second-We not onl y recognize the
18th, l4th, and 18th amendments in
the Constitution OF the United States as
accomplished facts, but also as just,
wise ard valid articles OF the organic
law TO be jealousIy defended and en-
forced as parts Of the Constitution, now
henceiorth and forever.
Third-As it will be necessary and
desirable to obtain from duties on
imports large portion Of the revenues
needed to defray the expenses Of the
Government, to pay the interest on the
national debt, and principal as it ma
lures, such duties should be so adjust
ed as not to prejudice, but TO promote
the interest of every section and
branch OF industry as far as may be
possible
Fourth-The present Administration
OF the National Government has vindl-
Gated its right to the continued conf
dence OF the people. Its success has
been illustrated in the impartial execu-
ton of the laws, in the iaithfulness, hon.
esty and economy IN the collection o;
the public revenue and in the expenses
of the Government, so that while taxa
ton has been reduced to the extent OF
$l00,000,0OO per year, the national
debt has been liquidated to the amount
OF over $3.50, 100000, reduction unpar-
alleled in history. The Administration
mas been equally successful in the man
agement OF our foreign relations aud has
achieved imperishable honor intte set
lement Of our differences with Great
Britain upon terms creditable to both
countries as embodied in the treaty OF
Washington. The head Of our Gov
ernment thus distinguished by such sue
cess and statemanship sjustly entitled to
be regarded as wise and careful clvi
magistrate and this uniform Difference
TO public sentiment show him TO be one
whom the country may trust, having
fully redeemed the pledge he made be-
fore entering on the duties Of Chief
MAGISTRATE that he would have no pol
icy to enforce against the will Of the
people
Finh-We repeat our condemnation
Of the policy o; granting subsidies OF
public lands to corporations and monop'
olies, and having originated in the policy
ofgranting homcsteads to actua! settlers,
we declare taat the public domain
should b. kept Tor our 'aborlng PoPula'
tion.
Six,h-That we are in favor Of the
adoption of thorough system OF civil
service reform, and we indorsc heartily
the action of President Grant in select
ing the Commissioners under the recent
so.cal!ci civil service act.
Sevcnth-We unite with our fellow
citizens in every portion Of the Union
in the hope that the cnmItlc5 and re-
sentiments OF the war may hc speedily
ended, and that the day may soon come
when in every State every citizen may
be safe in life, person, property and
civil rights, and may have the equal
protection OF the laws, so that no man
who was loyal to the Union during the
great struggle may for that reason be
the victim Of persecution, outrage ana
assassination, and so that some encour-
acement may be offered for removal in
all proper cases OF all the political disa-
biliies imposed for participation in the
rebellion.
Eichth-We recommend the calling
of Convention to amend the Const'tu-
ton OF the State.
Ninth i've express our unquaII'
fled approval OF the a!mlnlstra-
;ion OF orr present State Executive,
Governor X. B. Hayes, and assure him
