Resolved, That President of the United States
by the wise, deliberate and conservative course
which he has pursued throughout the country in
dispensing Federal patronage without any violent
or hasty change, deserves the hearty appreciation
of his fellOw-citizens; and although ne assumed
the functions of the Executive Office at NEST try
ing period of the Nations history as the alleged
quasi representative of large political faction he
has shown by the appointment to office of a large
number of persons selected by his late lamented
predecessor, that the charges that he favors any
particular faction Of the party at the expense Of
another, are base and calumnious, but, on the
trary, he has the welfare of his country and his
whole party at heart in appointing fit and worthy
men to office.
Resolred That we heartily endorse the appoint
ments recently made by the President in Maryland
united support of all Republicans throughout the
State.
Resolred, That the Hon. E. II. Webster, the new
Collector of Customs, by his former able admins
tratiOn of that office has shown himself by expert
enee and integrity of character fully qualified to
fill the position, and that the change in the office
can in no wise effect mercantile interests, and
should receive the cordial commentator of all
merchants: and we the Republicans of Baltimore
county extend to him our congratulations and
pledge him our earnest cooperation in the efforts
which he may make to solidify and strengthen the
Republican party throughout the State.
Resolred, That the retention in Office of two
such excellent public servants the Hon. A. Stir
ling, Jr, the United States District Attorney, and
John NJ. MeClintock, Esq, United States Marshal,
must commend itself to all citizens, irrespective of
party, as proof that genuine worth and eminent
ability respected by the National Administra-
ton, and Indicative that by the President good
and faithful servants will be rewarded for their
good and faithful service.
Resolved, That the Republicans here assembled
deplore the differences and contentious which have
heretofore existed among the Republicans of Bal
timore county, and earnestly hope that peace and
harmony may prevail in the party and we cordial
ly recommend such thorough reorganization as
will speedily accomplish this most desirable result.
