tom Martin NJ. Ray, J. ID. Williams, Robert
LOwery, b. W. Hanna, ID. ID. Dikeman, Levi

The committee On platform and resolutions
submitted a report TO the elfec, that The princi-
pies Of the Cincinnati liberal convention, taken
in connection with the propositions in Horace
Greeley'S letter accepting the nomination of
that convention, constitute platform on which
all elements of opposition 10 the present cor
rupt administration of the federal government
can stand; that it is unwise and impru-
dent to place two tickets in nomination
for the office of president and vice pres
ident, as the representatives of these
principles as the division of its friends would
insure the defeat Of bOth and it is therefore the
liked conviction of this convention that the
democratic convention to assemble in Baltimore
in july, should adopt the nominees of tue liberal
republican convention, instead of making 9th
er nominations for The presidency and vice
presidency the United States; that delegates
appointed to the Baltimore convention from this
state be and are hereby instructed to vote as a
unit upon all questions in accordance with the
opinion of a majority of the delegation; that
for each living soldier honorably discharged,
and for the widows or orphans of the dead, one
hundred and sixty acres of public lands,
not heretofore entered or given away
by the republican congress to railroad corpora
tions, TO be theirs absolutely, without requiring
them TO become actual settlers thereon; that
justice and equality demand that all soldiers
who enlisted in the military service of the COun-
try during the war Of the rebellion, and who
have been honorably discharged, shall have a
bounty granted them by congress in proportion
to the time they may have served, whether three
months or a longer period.
The resolutions were adopted without debate
by majority vote, very respectable number
voting in the negative. d. w. VOORHEES, has
