On motion the following resolutio
were adopted as expressing the sentime
. Of the convention in the matters mentio
" ed therein:
: ReSolred, That the temporary asccne
Is dency of the Democratic party to pow
l. has thoroughly satisfied the Americ
people of the inability, the narrow. heaI
:, edness, the short sighted vision and 4
~ criminal incapacity of this old stale, sta
nant, unprogre.sive party to control t
lie affairs of a nation Of sixty million Of pc
pie, and that at the ensuing election I
Republican party will form a united pl
lanx and throw this party into Had,
y" where its redeemer liveth not.
Res0ired, That q cloud of depressiC
T. financial and otherwise, is hanging
IN over our land like a mighty pail; that t
he cry Of distressed laboring men is echoi
v from valley to valley, as manifested
v the disgraceful riots in various parts
u u country; that there is a general fe
IL ing Of distrust and disquietude RESULT
Ii. from the introduction and agitation
n free trade resolutions in the Legislat
halls Of the nation, destructive in tn
III nature to American industries and dis
trous in their effects; all of which Sc
It. to convince us that the Democratic pa
does not deserve the suffrages of a
. people.
n Resolced, That we have seen with
al eye of alarm evidences OF official corr
rs ton cropping out in many places all
~ the line of offices filled by Democrats
demonstrated by q new process of writ
figures on tally sheets in Hamilton co
nj ty, Ohio; also that the Pan Electric Ii
and coal oil gang filling in the Ser
chamber and Presidents cabinet show
m. conclusively that a period of ~rascalit
bursting forth upon the country VIII
ar bids fair to far eclipse the days Of jan
p. Buchanan, when the Democrats rob
h. the treasury, the forts, the mint, and
.s arsenals in order to destroy the best g
Us eminent under the sun.
on Rcsolred, That the fourth section Of
by fourth article Of the constitution Of
n United States declares that the Uni
States shall guarantee to every Stat
republican form Of government; a
whereas many citizens of several St
IN. have been massacred on account Of
ON litical opinion, VIC do therefore rest
Inc that II is the imperative duty Of the
ln' eminent to protect every citizen in
Us, right of suffrage under the constitut
10 and that his vote shall count one.
70. Rcsolred, That 1t Is cminently right
10 the government Of the United st
est should justly appreciate the service
ry' the patriotic men Of all parties, v
