The report Of the
COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS
was presented and read, by Mr.. sturgiss
of Morgantown, by whom it was
drawn. The first rocites the prosperity
OF the country, the reduction Of the pub.
lie debt, and the maintenance Of peaceful
relations at home and abroad, the eco.
nomical administration of the govern
ment and integrity of the public
officials, as grounds OF congratulation,
and reaffirms faith and allegiance in the
great cardinal principles Of the Republi.
can party. The second lavors the contin.
ued reduction of taxation, the gradual
payment OF the national debt, civil
service reform as proposed by the Presi.
dent, the restoration of good will in the
reconstructed States by. impartial execu.
tion of the laws and q jealous guarding Of
the national honor in our intercourse with
foreign powers. The third declares that
the last three amendments to the Federal
Constitution shall forever remain invio.
late. The fourth declares that no passive
policy, no disguises assumed by malcon-
tents, no false pretenses of disappointed
men can ALLEVIATE the Republican party,
which has preserved the Union and Sc.
cured liberty, happiness and pros
perity throughout the land. The
fifth praises the wisdom Of the
Administration, its success in secur-
ing civil and political rights, peace
and prosperity at homo and respect and
security to the citizens abroad, the
honest and economical collection and dis.
bursement of revenues and reduction Of
taxation and debt; eulogizes President
Grant and instruCts the delegates to tho
Philadelphia Convention to vote for him
and use all honorable means to secure his
denomination. The sixthinstructs the dele.
cation to vote for Senator Boreman for
Vice President. Theseventh denounces the
Democratic leaders for seeking to make
the adoption or rejection of the new State
Constitution q party question. The eighth
provides for the reassembling Of this Con-
vention by the Executive Committee
when and where the Committee may
deem expedient. ahs-st
Gov. Peirpoint, Of Fairmont, took the
floor and made powerful speech against
the instruction Of delegates to vote for
President Grant. He affirmed 1t would
be necessary at Philadelphia to nominate
some one" else than Grant to save the
party, and that to, compel delegates to
vote for him, would be helping to destroy
it. He declared il President Grant was
nominated, and Baltimore endorsed Gin.
cinnati, Grant would be defeated; and If
the Democrats nominated a ticket of
their own and Greeley runs through, in
that event, too, Grant would be beaten.
These declarations created great cx.
cltement. Cries OF mo" and Kisses arose
from parts OF the hall and applause
from others. Gov, Peirpoint reasserted
his positions with increased emphasis,
and went on with unanswerable force to
give his reasons. Parts Of his speech
were warmly applauded, showing that
though the Convention was packed lor
Grant, there was still real division oi
