The resolutions adopted are as follows ::
The Republicans of New York in this centen-
NAL Of the Nation reaffirm the sacred truths and
principles of their fathers, and make the follow
ing declarations;
t. We are for the unity OF the Nation and the
lust rights of the States: for the full rcconcllia
ton and enduring harmony of all sections; for
the inyoate preservation of the results OF the
war and the constitutional rights of every citizen
for the grateful recognition of the brave soldiers
OF the Republic; for thorough retrenchmcnt and
reform; for the unsparing pursuit, exposure and
punishment OF public frauds and official dishon
tsty; for the elevation of the public service, and
pure and efficient Government; for maintaining
untarnished the National credit and honor for
sound currency of coin, paper convertible into
coin and for common schools absolutely free
from sectarian influence.
, We charge the Democratic party with being
the same in character and spirit when it SYM
pathized with treason; with making its control
OF the House OF Representatives the triumph and
opportunity Of the Nations recent foes; with re-
asserting and applauding in the National Capitol
the sentiments of unrepenant rebels: with send
ing Mon soldier to the rear, and promoting
Confederate soldNrs to the front; with delber-
atey proposing TO repudiate the plighted faith Of
the Government; with being equally false and
imbecile upon overs adowing financial questions;
with thwsrting the ends OF justice by its partisan
Encouragement, and obstruction of invesiga All ion
through the four months of its ascendency in the
Lower House of Congress; with proving itself
utterly incompetent to administer the Govern
ment: ana we warn the country against trusting
party alike unworthy, reCreant and Incapable.
3 without regard to past differences, we cor
daily invite all who believe that the direction OF
the Government should not pass into hands that
sought to destroy ii, and who seek pure and eco
nomicM government by honest and capable
officers, to unite with us in fraternal and mutual
~ considerate cooperation for the promotion of
these ends.
a. We emphatically condemn the dishonesty
and treachery Of every official who is failhless to
his trust, and approve the injunction to let no
guilty man, however high escape. We believe
the virtue of the people which saved the Nation
through the storm of war will preserve it from
the dangers of corruption. We commend the
good work of the National Administration in
protecting the Public Treasury and Furnishing
public offenders, and in laying down his trust at
the close OF the period for which he has been
chosen, President Grant will carry with him the
lasting gratitude of the American people for his
patriotic services in and in peace.
5. As II statesman and patriot of the highest
ability and character, whose long and distin-
guished public career Is without reproach; who
mas faithfully served the cause Of freedom and
Union through the great struggle OF the past ff-
teen years who has been steaufast to equal rights
and financial honesty, and the nnfinching expo
nent OF Republican principles, and " no possesses
the expert nee, capacity, courage and hrmness
which qualify him TO have the strength and hon
or 10 govern, we present Roscoe Conkling to the
National Republican Convention as our choice
for nomination for President.
b. As the delegated representatives of the half
million voters OF New York we send cordial greet
ing 10 our patriotic brethren throughout the
and, equally earnest with them for the success
four common cause, and pedging ourselves to
the faithful support of the Cincinnati nomina-
tons. We give especial assurance that the nom
nation of our candidate Will secure beyond ques-
ton the thirty-iive electoral votes of New York
Tor The Republican ticket.
