The Resolutions.
Of the resolutions adopted the following
are the more notable;
Resolved, that we have undiminished
confidence IN the wisdom, patriotism and
integrity Of the present Chief Magistrate
Of the United States, U. S. Grant; Join our
political brethren throughout the United
States in cordial and earnest support of
this administration, in the fullest recogni-
tiOn Of bis illustrious career in the mill
tary and civil service, and In condemnation
OF that rancOrOus party spirit which
prompts his and our enemies to as uncOn-
sidered and unjust attacks on him as those
to which his great predecessors, Washing
ton, Jackson and Lincoln, were subjected
during their administrations.
Resolved, that the letter addressed by
the President to the Chairman of the Penn
sylvania Republican State Convention upon
the subject of his succession is a full and
complete refutatiOn Of the ISLANDERS of those
who charged him with intriguing for re-
election; that we accept it as an explicit
and final settlement Of the third term agi-
tation created by our enemies solely TO ex-
cite jealousies and dissensiOns in the Re
publican party.
IneOmRFehensIbIe garSOn.
Resolved, that the conduct of that pcr-
tiOn Of the people in the South who defy
the Fifteenth amendment, and seek by in
timidatiOn or force to prevent the lawful
exercise of the elective franchise by the
great body Of 'cOlOred citizens resident
therein, is a rebelliOus defiance of the na-
tional authority; that the attempt to pre-
vent an election cf the next President by
the people is calculated to arouse the worst
passions of men and disturb the peace of
the nation, and should be met by all law
abiding citizens North and South as an ef-
fort to revive the flames of evil war; while
admitting that the hottest ri opinion ex-
istS as to the extent Cf the conspiracy
against the constitutional election of a
President in 1876, we deem it well to eau
tion the people against slumbering in the
face Of danger.
State Rights.
Resolved, that the cost of the State and
several county governments can and ought
to be reduced One-halE
Resolved, that the Central Pacific
Railroad is a State corporation, and as
such amenable TO the laws Of the State con-
cerning corporations. While Congress has
the right to regulate tolls over that road on
through and interstate traffic, the State
Legislature has the absolute and exclusive
power TO regulate the rates of freight and
fares between all points within this State.
Stupid TrickeFy.
THE Associated Press report closes with
this curious cOmment:l
The convention is considered piece Of
stupid trickery which deceives no one.
