OF onlo' realnrmlng the caralnal ooctrines OF
its adopted faith as heretofore proclaimed, es-
pecially pledges itself anew to the maintenance
Of free suffrage, equal rights, the unity of the
nation and the supremacy of the national pov-
eminent in all matters placed by the constitu-
ton under its control.
Second. Resolaed, That VIC earnestly appeal
through the ballot box to arrest the mad career
of the party now controlling both houses of
Congress, under the domination of msjority
of men lately in arms against the government
and now plotting to regain through the power
of legislation the cause which they lost in the
field, namely, the establishment Of State SOW
ereignty by the overthrow of national suprem-
Third. Resolued, That the Democratic party.
having committed itself to the attempt to break
up the government by refusing to appropriate
to their legitimate objects the public money
already collected from the people, unless the
executive shall give his official signature to
measures which he conscientiously disapproves
measures plainly intended to allow free
course TO fraud, violence and corruption in the
national elections and to impair the constitu-
tional supremacy of the nation-deserves the
signal c ondemnation of every honest and law
abiding citizen.
Fourth. Resolued, That the present extra
session of Congress, thus compelled by Demo
cratic conspirators, has been prolonged beyond
all possible excuse, not only by the depicting
Of the treasury, but also to the grave detriment
Of every individual and commercial
interest uf the country by the
uncalled for agitation OF several ques-
tions; by persistent efforts in hostility to the
resumption of specie payments, already happi-
ly ACCOMPLISHED; by constantly tampering with
currency system unsurpassed in the world ;
by the reopenipg and stimulation of scctio nal
controv ersy especially through the ayowed de-
termination to repeal all war legislation and by
seeking to inaugurate rcactionary revolution,
designed to restore full power to q solid South
in the affairs Of the government.
Fifth. Resozyed, That the financial admins.
tration of the government by the Republican
party in accomplishing the great work Of the
resumption of specie payments, in restoring
.,ur currency to par value, in greatly reduc
ing the bulk of the national debt, in refundine
q large proportion of the same at rate of in
terest one-third less than the former rate
thereby also saving to the treasury thirteen
million dollars year. and enhancing the ma
tional credit to a standing never before at
tanned, is q source of just pride to the Repub
licans of Ohio and deserves the warm appro
baton of the American people.
Sixth. Resolue1, That the perpetual disturb
ance Of the country in response to the concila
tory measures of the administration should
