THE RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS, The soldiers and sailors Of the
United states took arms to defend the integrity of
the Union, to maintain the supremacy of law and
the solidity of the common country and, where.
as, these results OF the great war crystalized into
constitutional amendments which have been nc.
and satisfaction for the lives lost and the treasure
expended in the struggle; and,
IERLAs, The cowardly foes that struck at the
back of the agonilcd Nation hate now lcagued
themselves in perfect union with the bolder rebel
element, to render nugatory the fruits of our vic.
tories, TO deny in practice the, equal rights, OF
man, and to OBTAIN by fraud what they failed to
secure by force; therefore, be it
R~eSOiced, by the soldiers and sailors Of the
United States, in convention assembled, Tat
this American nation is the creature of God and
the people; that IL is worth all the sacrifices we
have made or can make, and that its value can
only be measured by what we, the people. are
Resoired, further, That the destiny eff this
country, for good. is committed to the Republi.
can party. an organization of ffeemtn, TO perfect
anu FC'uit " al tlbt tut uusulutC i ultlbN "
our labors ami our suiftrings.
ResOlred. further, That the Democratic organ.
jzation, headed by Tilden and Hendricks, Is a
bad ami base representation of the American
people; that II is unsound on the cardinal ques'
lions Of life or death to the republic; that same
party which, in lsii, by its platform, denounced
ami denied the success Of the war; that II has nc
sympathy to-day, except from men who laborcd
against us, and sought 10 demoralize the natior
in the hour OF its supreme trial.
Res ired, further, That industry and free gov
ernment go hand in hand, in that prosperity
comes not alone, but as the child of republican
institutions. and depends upon Republican sue
cess, and that Justice to all men is the condition
precedent to public or private welfare.
Resolved, further, That good government car
only be obtained by obedience to law. and that
the south is a step backward. and tends to an
archy.
ReSOlred, That the hope of the industry of thu
Nation, now Frustrated by the iactiOus proceed
ings Of n Democratic House Of representatives
and the bare apprehensions Of the ultimate ti
umph ofthe oiiOus principles OF rebellion, de
ponds upon the success of the Republican party
which alone can restore confidence to capital anC
insure to labor constant employment and fair re
Enumeration for honest work.
ResOired, further, That Il. Il. Hayes and w
a. Wheeler, 10y their high personal character
their dist nguislled public services, their unfal
terlng devotion to human liberty and equa
rights, are fit leaders of the great party which
saved the nation and Is destined TO preserve IL
and that we pledge TO them our full, open anC
manly support.
