Resolpsd, That as members OF this Conven-
tion we do most heartily and enthusiastically
approve of and endorse the platform of princi-
piles adopted by the National Republican Con-
vention recently held at Philadelphia and the
placed thereon, hereby pletlging our most earn
est and thorough cooperation with the great
Republican party, the party Of freedom, the
party of progress, in its noble efforts to re-
elect as President for four years to come, the
wise statesman and victorious General, who
has led this nation safely through red sea of
blood and has done more than any living man
to save from chaotic darkness and financial
ruin this, the land of our liberty and of our
love.
ID. Resolred That in this period of our his
tory when there is manifested so strong a de-
sire to pardon all the former leaders of Con-
federate army, we recommend to the Demo-
crats of this district that the same spirit be
manifested towards our present National Ad-
ministration in regard to what they claim it
has committed.
. Sd. Resolred, That the combination of the
former slave holders of the South, and the old
Democratic leaders and few dissatisfied Re-
publicans of the North is not a closer and
more beneficial union of the two sections of
the country. That the shaking Of hands
across the bloody chasm' can only be effected
by the entire acquiescence of the South in the
National debt, and by the cultivation of spir-
itof friendliness and good Will towards the
actual governors Of our country.
4th. Resolred. That we most cordially and
heartily endorse the platform and the pomi-
nees Of our Republican State Convention at
Columbus last March, and that we pledge our
selves to use our united efforts to secure the
election of these nominees and of the nomi-
nees of this Convention.
On motion these were adopted in
the whole.
