THE PLvTFoRM.
General j. S. Robinson, of Har
din county, from the committee OF
Resolutions reported the following
l. Resolved, That we reaffirm the
principles and policy of the Repub
lican party, as announced by its Ma
tional Convention. That we are
proud of its history and great ser
vices, and we especially commend
the vigor and force by which it main
tanned the Union, abolished slavery
and secured equal, civil and politica
rights to all citizens. We demand
that these rights be enforced by ap
propriate legislation, so that all citi
zens shall have the equal protection
of the wand be secure in the equa
enjoyment of their rights. We de
mand of our public agents fidelity
to their principles, the honest exc
cution of the pledges made to The
people, purity, integrity and econO
my in the discharge of their ofiicia
duties, and the prompt and fearless
examination and punishment o
those who violate any of their obi
cations.
3. That we favor tariff for rev
enue, with such incidental protec
ton as may foster and encourage
American industry.
3. That we denounce all forms 0
open or covert repudiation, and de
clare that justice and the publ,
faith alike demand that the debt 0
the United States be paid in accord
ance with the letter and spirit of th,
laws under which it was created, a
declared in the act Of Congress o
March Is, 1859; and it is the duty
of the National Government TO adop
such measures as shall gradual,
but certainly restore our paper mon
ey to a specie standard withou
shock to the business interests 0
the country.
4. That when the currency shal
have been restored to a specie value
banks should be made free so tha
the circulating medium may expanC
or contract, according to the deman,
of commerce and trade.
8. That the Democratic party, b,
its uniform opposition to the i'm
provement of our harbors and ou
great national water courses, ha
shown itself incompetent to dea
with the vitality important questio
of cheap transportation and all in
ternal improvements; that the chea
and prompt transportation of tn
products OF industry should be pro
noted by the National and Stat
governments by appropriate legisla
ton.
6. That we heartily indorse th
present Republican Congress in re
pealing the law increasing oficia
salaries; in reducing expenses NOR
than $50, 100000; in successfully re
sisting all '.jobs;" in abolishing th
extravagant government of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and in reformin
abuses generally; whereby the Re
{ publican party is proved to be woI
thy Of the continued support of tn
people.
7. That the recent outrages an
murders in the South, of which III
offending colored citizens have bee
the victims, committed in pursuanc
of the ayOwed purpose of maintain
ing an exclusive "white mans COY
ernment," demand and hereby II
ceive the indignant condemnatio
Of the Republicans of Ohio.
s. That the restraint of inten
perance and its causes, to the fu
, extent of the legislative, judicis
. and police powers of the State, an,
the forfeiture of public trust for il
toxication, are demanded by til
moral and material welfare of sc
ciety and the State.
8. We deprecate the action of til
present General Assembly in REQ
ganizing the punitive and benevc
lent institutions of the State 70
merely partisan and political pul
poses, as tending inevitably to tn
impairment of their efficiency an
usefulness.
