The Republicans Of Kansas in conyen.
ton assembled, declare:
First-That the true test of the faithful
discharge OF that duty is long continued
and uninterrupted devotion to our SER
vice of the Republic, and that no one who
has wayered in his fealty to the Union is
safe counsellor in the affairs Of the Ma
ton nor in whose hands any OF the pow
ers OF the government can be safely
lodged for any time, however brief.
Third-ThGt under the name OF the
Democracy are arraigned againstthe civili-
zation OF the age, men who, having striyen
by rebellion and open war to deJtroy the
Nation, are now endeavoring to seize the
government by force or fraud.
Fourth-That we are nation, and that
the mission OF the Republican party will
not be completed until under our flag,
every citizen, however humble, is secure
in the honest expression OF his opinions
in all parts OF our dominion, and is fully
protected in his lie and liberty, and In
the full enjoyment Of all the political
rights OF an American citizen.
migration Of colored people from the south
10 the north Is the apprehension Of perse-
cution and robbery OF them by the white
people, their former masters and the pres
ent owners OF the soil, and it Is the au.
thority OF the Government OF the United
States 10 extend to the colored people Of
the south such protection, that their re-
-moyal from their native land shall cease to
be necessity.
Sixth. That in the approaching Presi-
Dental campaign there will be no middle
ground upon which no timid patriots can
stand, and those who are in favor Of the
perpetuity Of the Union and preservation
OF liberty, aud the promotion OF ciyiliza-
ton. All Republicans must vote for the
success OF the Republican candidates, and
those who are in favor OF violence and
anarchy, dissolution and the utter destruc-
ton OF the Republican Government, will
vote for the success OF the Democratic
candidates.

confidence OF the Republicans OF Kansas;

should always reserve the right TO COM
mand the services Of any Of its citizens
and none should be debarred from any
position, even the highest, on account OF
the service to their country, however illus
trious.
RIsolred, That it is the sense Of this con-
vention that the delegates from this State
10 the National Republican Convention ct
