PENNSYLVANIA Republicans.

HARRISBURG, May 15.-The resolutions
adopted by the Republican State Conven-
ton declare that the party in Pennsylvania
is opposed to free trade in whatever dis
guise presented; has unchanging devotion
to home industry, and hereby avows its
special and direct hostility to the tariff bill
now pen ding in Congress, the same being
in the interest OF importers and foreign
manufacturers and in opposition to Amerl-
can labor: that we are now, as ever, OPP
posed to the payment of claims from the
National Treasury to those lately engaged
in and sympathizing with the rebellion; no
conqueror should be forced TO pay indem-
nifty to the conquered, and the presentation
OF bills demanding over SS00,000,0 900 at the
present session OF Democratic House is
warning to the country of the cost and dam
ger OF retaining in power party whose
chief aim is to make reprisals on the tax
payers for losses which the crime OF treason
brought upon the southern people.

Hartincton's resolution In the House OF
Commons Is declared by him not to be In
tended to raise the question OF the policy Of
using the Indian forces, but merely the
legal issue.
The Times says:. .t When it Is announced
beforehand that the leader OF the opposi-
tion in the lower House will not raise the
question of policy, and when the principal
lawyer OF The party Ia the House OF Lords
wili;not throw his objections into the form
of a resolution, q mere discussion Of the
constitutional law OF the cause would be
more suitable for debating society. The
fact is the issues Of the present crisis have
passed beyond the control OF even the
British Parliament. The general policy of
the Government has received at its most
critical stage the support OF the country,
and the Ministry have accordingly taken
steps which. leave the next turn Of events
in other hands"

His apprehensions were confirmed by what

the revolutionary elements from gaining
