The eight resolution declare tha: "inas
much as the Liberal Republicans have pre-
sented to the country Greeley aud Brown,
and invited the cooperation of all citizens
we deem il our duty TO declare that those
names deserve the support of every patriot
in the land, as against ticket representing
the principles and practice of the present
administration. In our opinion the pre-
sentstion of candidates by the Democratic
party will be unwise, unnecessary and ex-
ceedingly dangerous 20 the welfare of the
people"
The delegates to Baltimore we're instruct'
ed TO carry out these views. The conven-
ton is still in session.
