Following are the resolutions adopted by
he Republican State Convention of Illinois,
eld at Springfield on the 17th. The fourth
esolution was amended, by a vote of 298 to
34, by striking out the last clause (enclosed
nparenthesis):
We, the delegates and representatives of the
tepublican party of IllinoiM, declare the follow
ng to be substantially our political belief:
1 That emancipation and enfranchilelent
naving been secured by the thirteenth and _f
-enth amendments to the Conatl lion of the
United States and by appropriate legslatlion for
heir enforcement, and equality of civil rights
having been guaranteed by the fourteenth amend
ment, such guaranty should be eanforced by ap
propriate statues, so that the broad agis o free
dom for ever may be over black and white citi
tens alike.
2. That as oneof the consequences of the late
civil war about $3nr2,0,00,00 of non-interest bear
ing Treasury notes were issued to an ar now
held by the people as safe and convenient curren
cy, it would be unwise and inexpedient In the
present financial condition of the people to at
temt a policy of immediate cancellation of any
portion of such "1 reaswry notes.
s That the laws for the establishment of na
tionl banks haviag secured to the Sta.s and
TerritorieS the best system of bank circulation
everbefore offered to the people, its issuance
should not be longer confined to a privileged
class, but should be tree to all alike qnder gen
eral and equal laws, the aggregate volume of cur
rency to be regulated by the untrammeled laws of
trade.
