| bled declare:
Frst-That the true test of the faithful discharge
of that duty is long continued and uninterrupted de
votion to the service of the Republic, and that no
one who has wavered In his fealty to the Union is
safe counsellor in the affairs of the nation IL
whose hands any of the powers of the government
can be safely lodged for any time, however brief.

stroy the nation, and endeavoring to seize
the government by force or fraud.

sion of the Republican party will not be completed

in the honest expressions of his opinions In
all points OF ana IuIly prOteCleO III
his life and liberty and in the full enjoyment Of all
the political rights of an American citizen.
Fifth-rhat the unhappy cause of the migration
of colored people from the South to the North is the
apprehension of prosecution and robbery OF them by
the white people, their former masters and present
of the soil, and it is the duty Of the govern
ment of the United States to extend to the colored
people of the South such protection that their remov
al from their native land shall cease to be neces-
sity.

paign there shall be no middle ground upon which
tmid patriots can stand and those who in favor
of the perpetnty of the union and preservation of
liberty and the promotion of civilization are Repub-
cans and of necessity must vote for the success OF

of violence and anarchy, dissolution and the ut
ter destruction of republican government, will vote
for the success of the Democratic candidates.

ways reserve to itself the right to command the SER
vices of any of it's citizens, and lone should be
debarred from any position, even the highest, on ac
count of service to the contrary, however Illus
trious.
ReSoIved, That it ia the sense of this convention
that the delegates from this State to the national Re-
publican convention at Chicago, will best serve the
interests of the party by deferrng the nomination to
the delegates from doubtful States, as they best
know under what standard bearer their States can be
carried to victory.
