the union of the States and the principles
of the CclnstitutiOn of the United States, in
defence of which they perilled their lives
and their all.
Secoad---That we, hold it to be our, duty
in common with all good citizens to up
hold, defend and enforce the laws of the
United States as enacted by the represen
tatives of the people in Congress and the
Constitution and laws of this State, and
that they will do so at all times, under all
circumstances and against all and every
organization of party or individuals who
may attempt to trample them under foot.
. Thsrd—'That we approve and endorse the
deetaration of principles laid down by the
National Union Republican Convention at
Chicago, and pledge to the nominees of that
Conventioneer earnest and hearty support.
Fourth—That we havesbiding con Men -
in the integrity, patriotism and ability o
the great <septet's under whose leadership
we achieved the victory of liberty and
union over , secession and slaveholding
power. As we relied upon:him to put
down the rebellion, so we can trust him to
guard the institutions for the preservation
of whicti he led us to victory.
With the i helm of State in the
hands of Gen. U. S. Grant, we can re.
pose in security that the honor of the
nation will be upheld at home and abroad,
o\
the laws fully ex utrid, the interests of
our dusabled comra es and of the widows
and orphans of our alien brothers be af
fectionately, guarded, and the peace, pros
perity and happiness Sgt the whole people
secured.

city, waged a purpose hostile to eve ry
principle of Republican equality and ohne
ilea philanthrophy, We yet entertain malice
toward* none of those who !Ought against
us In Scree and open` battle. and while
we believe that the forfeiture of all politi
cal rights on the part of thOse who engaged.
in or aided or sympathized with rebellion,
was a legitimate,;, just and proper comae
' quence, we yet s tand ready to - give to the
soldiers who met us in manly fight equal
political privilege s at the earliest moment
consistent with State and National 'safety.
Seventh—That we are unequivocally in
favor of the ratification, at the general tiled . -
tion to be held in November nex', of the

t
of eminent justice that all o ffi cers, State,

and not appointive, to the end that the
wonting men shall have an equal chance
with the politician and the soldier or sailor
with the followers find hangers on of the
