We, the Republicans of Utah county
IN convention assembled, hereby de
clare our belief in and allegiance to the
following principles:
/ I've marx with satisfaction the
/ abandonment of the old political issues
winch have heretofore divided the peo-
pie OF Utah Territory, retarding their
progress in developing their material re-
sources, and hail the formation of poll
tIcal parties upon national lines as be-
lng happy solution OF the old differ
enceS and as destined to create new
era III tie advancement of our fair
territory by placing it in Il political
harmony with the nation.
The people OF the United States.
IN their original capacity, constitute
nation, ana not mere cOnfedracy of
states. The national government is
supreme within its sphere of national
duty, but the states have reserved
rights which should be faithfully main
tanned; each should be guarded with
jealous care, SO that the harmony OF
our system OF government NAV be pre-
served and the Union kept inviolaie." " |
3-We point with pride to the his
cry OF the Republican party. 1t has |
suppressed an armed rebellion: restor-
ed the Union upon the basis of free
dom instead OF slavery; lifted the i'm
poYeuShed credit of the nation to a
point where its securities are eagerly
sought at a premium; has by its pro-
tectlve system maintained the dignity
and increased the remuneration of la
Dor; toSteIed and encouraged home in
dustrleS, and brought TO our country a
degree OF prosperity unparalleled in the
history OF the world.
While inviting to olIg shores the
worthy poor OF all nations, we earnest
Ly recommend tie laws that will pro-
-ect our country and oar people against
lhe influx OF the vicious /and criminal
sI1SGAS nt
)ortation Of foreign kaborers under
contract, to compete with our own citi-
ems, and earnestly approve the rigid
'ntolcement or these laws and of such
urther legislation As may be necessary.
o-We believe tbat the prosperity of
ur territory de2nds upon the diver
lUles OF her lndu4trleS, and that these
