The following is the result of the COM
mittee on resolutions:
Resolred, That the republican party of
Ohio re-affirming the cardinal doctrines
of its adopted faith as heretofore pro-
claimed, especially, pledges itself anew to
the maintenance of free suffrage, equal
rights, the unity of the nation and the
of the national government in
all matters placed by the constitution un-
der its control.
Res0loed, That we earnestly appeal 10
the people in the exercises of their power
through the ballot box to arrest the mad
career of the party now controlling both
of congress- under the denOmina-
tion of a majority Of men lately in arms
against the government and now plotting
to regain, through the power of legisla-
tion, the cause which they lost in the
field: Namely, the establishment of state
by the overthrow of national
supremacy.
Resolred, That the democratic party
having committed itself 10 an attempt to
break up the government by refusing TO
to their legitimate objects the
public moneys already collected from the
people, unless the executive shall give his
official signature to measures which he
disapprOves: measures
plainly intended To allow free course to
fraud, violence and corruption in the ma
tional elections, and TO impair the cousti-
tutional supremacy OF the nation, deserves
the signal condemnation of every honest
and law abiding citizen.
ResolUed-That the present extra session
of congress thus compelled by Demo-
cratic cOnspirators, has been prolonged be-
yond all possible excuse. Not only to the
depletion of the treasury. but also the
grave detriment of every industrial and
interest of the country; and
the uncalled for agitation of several ques-
tions by the persistent efforts in hostility
TO the resumption of specie payment,
already happily accomplished, by con-
stantly tampering with a currency system
in the world. by reopening
and stimulating sectional controversy, es-
pecially through the avowed determine
lion to repeal all legislation, and by seek
ing TO inaugurate reactionary revolution
designed to restore full power tn solid
south in the affairs of the government.
Res0ired, That the financial administra-
lion of the government by the republican
party accOmplishes the work of resump-
lion of specie payments in restoring our
to par value (; in greatly reducing
the burden of the national debt in refund
ing a large proportion OF the rate of inter
est, of q third less than the former rate
thereby alone saving to the treasury $13,-
600, 900 dollars year, and in enhansing
The national credit to a standing never be-
fore attained, a source of just pride to the
republicans of Ohio and deserves the
warm appreciation of the American peo-
pie.
ResoJUed, That this perpetual disturb
ance of the country in response to the
measures Of the administIa-
lion, should by the judgment of the peO-
pie be thoroughly condemned.
ResOlred, That the democratic legisla-
ture of Ohio is going on from bad to
worse from O'ConOr reforms of our pub
lie institutions, resulting IN scandals ill.,
mischiefs unmeasured and
outrageous attempts TO revise and reverse
The will of the people, as declared by their
suffrages upon the legislative nsurpation,
defeated candidates for local offices in
al nf..l 11yl lovu-f,l
ballots cast in the interest
Of honest and decent home governments,
merits the indignant rebuke of every intel
Iigent voter of the state.
Resolced, That tho memories of our dead
heroes, who gave their lives to save the
nation from destruction, protest against
The expulsion of their living comrades
from public offices to crafty the partisan
purposes of the dominant party in con-
gress.
ResoIred, That we send greeting TO the
president of the United States and every
republican members of congress, and we
cordially thank and honor them for the
firm and patriotic hand they have taken
in opposition to the designs of the maioyi-
" Of the present congress, and we hereby
pledge them O;r earnest and undivided
support.
The nominations proceeded, aud Joseph
Turner, of Cuyahoga county, was nomi-
mated for state treasurer; and James Full
lin gton, for member of the board of public
works. The convention at lis adjourned
