ton is again impeIiled by the violent and unlawful
efforts OF the Democratic party to and sub
vert State governments as represented by the con-
duct OF its leaders in Maine and in several Southern
States, thereby intending to secure control OF the
General Government by deeds of violence and fraud,
and in defiance of the carefully constituted judicial
authorities. in the presence OF these grave and threat
ching dangers it heduty the Republican party of
the Union in its united strength meet and prevent
them, and 10 this end, mindful OF their great re-
sponsibity in the coming Presidential contest, and
OF the fact that it must be determined by the cleo
tOra vote OF their State, hereby soemnly pledge to
the Republicans of other States their ability to cast
it for U. S. Grant We declare that in him we re-
pose absolute trust for his honesty, his fidelity to
duty his serene judgment and solid intelligence,
his varied experience, and for the uniform success
that has ever attended his efforts in securing
the integrity, perpetuity, grandeur and pros
perty OF our common country. FOR these
reasons, because we are satisfied that
the nation, North and South, decidedly wish can
ddate deserving OF its confidence, present him
as entitled the suffrage OF every patriotic citizen
We also declare thst the objection to third Pres
dental term applied only to third consecutive
term and is utterly inapplicable to the reelection
of General Grant, who is and fas been private
citizen, absent from the country, destitute OF all
Presidential official influence or patronage, and
whose election must be by the free cho ce OF the
people, unaided 10y those influences Which alone
give force if any there be, to that objection there
