Resolred, That we do now accept as a plat
form of this convention the platform of the
Cincinnati convention, and we indorse the
presidential ticket put forth by said conven
tion accepting Horace Greeley and B. Gratz
Brown as our standard bearers in the al
prclehine national ,ontesst
Jesolred, That any indorsenment of the ('us
tomn-House ring would be a base surrender of
principle and self-respect. Any coalition
with them would drive from us the large
body of white citizens who are ready to join
us on a Republican basis, and to defeud our
liberties and rights, and would bring about a
division in polities upon the line of white and
black, and that such a course would be de
struetive to our people and injurious to the
whole State; and that for these high and ur
gent reasons we do now indorse, ratify and
nominate as our ticket the ticket nominated
August 9th and 10th by the Liberal State
convention, headed by Colonel L. B. Penn
and F. E. Itums, anido urge upon all our
people to support and vote for it.
