The New Hampshire Republicans.

The following resolutions were adopted
by the Republican State Committee Of
New Hampshire, recently held at Con.
cord:
ResoiDed, /. While we recall with pride the no.
bic origin, the heroic career and the benefcent
achievements Of the Republican party, we regret
and condemn the want Of fidelity which has char
nc erized a few Of those whom it has trusted with
place and power.
p The bill providing for the back pay and in
crease Of salaries, passed by the FGrtysecOnd Con-
gress, was violation Of the pledge
Of economy contained in the Phil
adelphia platform, renewed by the press
and on the stump throughout the Presidential
campaign, and reaffirmed after the election Of
President Grant.
g. We call upon our Senators and Representa-.
tives to vote for the unconditional repeal Of the
called Salary act of the FOrty-second Congress,
and to use their influence and votes TO re-estabsh
all salaries, including the salary of the President Of
the United States al the old scale, so lar as the
Cons tuition will admit.
4. In view OF the prevailing industrial and fnan-
cial depression, we call upon our Senators and
Representatives who have profted by the back pay
voted by the Forty-second Congress TO make resti
tuition to the Government which they have helped
to embarrass.
5. We earnestly invite the cooperation Of the
Republican party Of other States in a united and
determined effort to preserve the organization
from reproach from any quarter, so that it may
continue TO occupy the proud position Of being
the party of the people, for the people, by the
people.
6. As in Republic there should be no privileged
class, and the burdens Of government should be
equally borne, we protest against any revival of
the abuses of the franking privilege, and will hail
the day when free passes, favoritism and all un-
just determinations shall be eliminated from rail-
way management, and corresponding reduction
made in fares and freights to the whole people
Z. We call upon Congress 10 pave the way by
early and wise legislation for such improvements
in our banking system, and for as speedy a return
TO specie payments as will be most beneficial to the
great industrial and commercial interests Of the
country.
8. We demand slch a revision of the laws Gre
ating and governing savings banks shall lead to
the Investment of their funds in undoubted secu-
rites and real estate within New Hampshire, and
the total separation of their management from
funds may be securely invested, and our towns and
villages built up and our mechanics and working
men encouraged TO provide homes and farms for
themselves.
Q. We call upon the next Legislature to make a
thorough revision OF the laws relating to taxation
and valuation, so that taxation shall be Just and
equal, and no unjust burden be imposed upon the
earnings OF the poor.
TO- I hat agrcultu. al pursuits are the bases Of
all material prosperity and best calculated 10 fos-
ter those habits which conduce to the highest well
fare OF a State; that hail with qualification the
advances making in the science Of agriculture and
the evidence of awakening interest in il a a pur-
suit in our own state; that the Republican party
will welcome the healthy influence
which tillers Of the soil always
bring to their councils, and accord to them
their full and legitimate weight in the Government
and that we pledge our utmost efforts TO redress
all grievances and unjust determinations which
the farming interests suffer; to abolish all special
privileges, and to give all casses.of men equal and
exact justice.
The remaining resolutions deprecate
the growing tendency to special legisla-
ton, deplore the prevalence of intemper-
ance, commend the efforts of Congress
and the Administration to reduce ex-
penses, and point with pride to the results
of Republican rule in New Hampshire.
