The committee on resolutions re ported the following which were unani mously received and adopted : Besolved, That the Republican party of the county of Wake, in Convention assembled, anxiously desiring the in-r terest, happiness, prosperity ana pencu ofour beloved common county and State, do hereby reaffirm our devotion to the glorious principles of our organi zation and pledge ourselves to use all honorable exertions to vindicate and uphold them tluring the approaching campaign. Resolved, That we do most cordially and heartily endorse President Grant and his administration as having brought untold blessings to our people and greatly contributed to the general welfare of the whole nation, and partic ularly to' the Southern States of this greatly Republic, and we pledge our selves to use every laudable effort to secure his re-nomination and re-electionbelieving that the prosperity, happiness and security of the citizens of North Carolina rests upon his re-election to the Presidency of the United States. Ilesolved, That in Hon. Tod R. Cald well, the Chief Magistrate of our belov ed State, we recognize the true Repub lican and the firm patriot. True to the "Teat principles of our party, firm, con scientious, and immovable in the dis charge of his official duties, he especially deserves the thanks of all our people for his successful stand against the un constitutional and revolutionary con vention scheme of the ku klux Democ racy last Summer which at one time tre-itened our State with anarchy and ruin, and he being our first choice we hereby instruct our delegates in the State Convention to use all honorable menns to secure nis nomination as our candidate for Governor in the approach ing campaign. . . Resolved, That in Hon. John Pool, our Senator in Congress, the people of North Carolina have a true and tried friend an able statesman and sound Republican; and while we have cause to congratulate ourselves upon having in faithfully a Representative in all TestseiA, as Republicans ofWake tender him our sincere thanks for his efforts in securing an appropria for a national building in our midst, which, while it will give employment to many of our working-citizens will be alike the pride and ornament of our 'raSmf, That we endose the action of Gov Caldwell in appointing Direc-tors-in our penal and cWitable insti tutions, and we denounce as false the attacks on him by the Democratic pre ?rtrtizan purposes, and prompted rj?ilre Tto create political capital. by ian?fo1- the good of the State, and S aSatbflS thS he has usiiall Snnorable means for adjusting the dif S?KS arising between his appointees 3 the Legislative -Boardsfirst by offerin- Provisions to the pnsoners in ?he Penitentiary and Beciffld in pw: refused by the 0ltJbSf -That the present General a iSfif North Carolina has, by its A&in n ible violations of the Con fftffnSiiringthe sacred right or """.i-iiv belonging to the Ex powers sYeratingmembers of its ecutive, inr5" tnoln to have aided and abetteu vue u Klux Klan; rauders knP J ield their and in PfJhls forfeited the re guilty t&swdcalladown s0SSon "fan who love the ten, but will gJJ? f that we ar services of Gov.

I . Ilesolved. That for the position of Attorney General we know of no man who would be more acceptable to the Republicars of this county that Col. Tazewell Hargrove, of Granville coun ty. Originally a Democrat of the Jef ferson ian-Jackson school which favored the greatest good to the greatest! num ber, he naturally finds himself allied and identified with the erreat party of freedom equal and exact justice to all. The source of power in this govern ment being in the people,' free schools and general education are essentiaVto fo good government and the perpetua tion of free institutions. The learning of the few is despotism; the learning of the multitude is liberty, and intelli gent and principled liberty is! fame, wealth, wisdom and power; therefore, Besolved, That the first and highest duty of the Republican party in this State is to take such measures as shall wipe out the blot of illiteracy, which is now the shairie of North Carolina. Resolved, That the thanks of the poor laboring classes of the South are due, and for Wake county are hereby ten dered to the Hon. George F.

Thompson, for their active co-operation with Mr. Hoar, in his noble efforts in favor of education. Resolved, That in Gen. Wiley I). Jones, we have a man reared amongst us at a trade, upon whom the people of Wake county have bestowed honors for his honesty of purpose, his generos ity and for the general representafrfve character of the man, and we, the; dele gates in County Convention assembled, having confidence in his honesty, do recommend him as our- first choice for Congress, in 4th District of North Caro lina. I The Convention was next addressed by Gen. W. D. Jones in a forcible man ner. His speech was well received. Loud calls being made for Col.tS. T. Carrow, he came forward and made one of his happiest efforts. His speech was a thorough vindication of Republi can principles. He defended Gov. Cald well from the violent attacks of the Democratic press, and showed conclu sively that in the matter of appointing Dirpf-tors of the Penitentiary and other institutions he had done notnmg jnore than his duty. His remarks were re ceived with hearty applause. f Q.

We believe it is the only party which renlly seeks to perpetuate the government of the United States, and thus secure to us and our posterity the inestimable blessings of civil and reli gious liberty ; . " 2. Because the nation owes its very existence to the Republican party ; .1. Because that party has proved its devotion to the principles of the im mortal declaration of independence by blotting from existence the last trace of slavery in the American Union ; 4. Because it is the only party in ex istence co-extensive with our country, and therefore the only one capable of controlling the destinies of a powerful nation;, ; 5. Because it is the only party which guarantees full and free protection and privileges to every American citizen, without stopping to enquire what color God has been pleased to give his skin, or where he happened to be born; 6. It is the only party pledged to up hold law and order, and which, ignor ing Trejudice and caste, addresses it self to the better impulses of our na ture. f .Resolved, 2d, That first and above all a3 first in deserts, and first in the affec tions of every lover of peace and advo cate of equal rights, we most cordially endorse the administration of our Hero President, the statesman and soldier, the friend of liberty and advocate of pSaee and equal justice, Ulysses S. Grant, and most earnestly recommend arid urge his" re-nomination for a second term of office; by so doing we believe the safety- of the nation and people would be best secured, and the affairs of the national government continued in the hands of a wise and energetic man. Resolved Zd, That in the estimation of this Republican assembly there is n6 man in all the national domain, who, next to President Grant, deserves to be honored in preference of ourpa triotic exiled Governor, Wm. W. Hol den, not only for his sterling loyalty, patriotism and Union loving prin ciples of Republicanism, but for his sterling worth and eminent fitness for the position, for the second seat in the government; therefore we re commend and ask his nomination for the Vice Presidency. We believe the loyalists of the nation owe fiirn this merited honor. . Besotted Ath, That our Republican representatives in Congress, Hons. Jno. Pool, C. R. Thomas and C. L. Cobb, eminently merit our unqualified ap probation, and deserve particularly our esteem and gratitude.

Besotted 5th, That we heartily ap prove and endorse the administration of our Chief Magistrate and efficient Qovernor, Tod R. Caldwell, and most earnestly recommend and ask his re nomination, and that the delegates from this convention are requested to advocate his claims in the State Con vention. Besotted 6th, That we approve of the course of most pf our Republican Re presentatives in the General Assembly of North Carolina, in their strict adhe sion to the principles of justice and con stitutional requirements, for their bold opposition to partisanism in all its forms and especially the bill to amend the Constitution. . . , f Resolved 7thy That in the estimation I' ' 1. v H N. C, THURSDAY, APRIL, 4,, 1B72. of this Republiean Convention 'there is no man j in the Second Congressional District who deserves to be honored in. nf a farcin f rf etif 7va r1fC fl n fl nfttrfntiC Senator, John A.1 Hyman. Ve,tthere- lore, earnestly recomrneuu uau uiv umt he be nominated to represent this Dis trict in the next American Congress His earnest devotion to the principles, of Republicanism, to .the . interests of his people, to the interests of jtheJwhole State, entitle him to the? undivided support of all Republicans of :the Se-, cond Congressional District. We offer, to John A. . Hyman the unfaltering tha Rpnnhlicans of Warren county, and ask our sister counties of i tne jjisiricc to ioiiow sun. w ucucvc when patriotism, and efficiency are combined it is but fair and Just .that each race should be; represented in all the branches of our govern mi$t, when it can be done with honor and safety to the Republiean party. BesolvedSth, That we again announce our cordial adhesion to, and support of, the doctrines and principles of the Re publican party, as laid down in the National platform, and we refleet with increasing pride upon its glorious works. 1 ft has proved that a free gov ernment, based upon the will of a free people, is the most substantial ; it sup pressed and subjugated a gigantic re- Krllirm rrmrlft fMtlZPnS of foT million glavesleducatiug and protecting them I i ,.4.Ki;l-.iyl iiiotiriaanH pnilitl I US SUCH , it tBUluiiaiicu juonvv v-. rights without regard to race, color or previous condition. In perfecting the National Constitution it has fulfilled the words of the immortal Thomas Jefferson, in our National Declaration of Independence, "that all men are created equal ; that they are endowed by their creator with certain inaliena ble rights ; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Besotted 9th, That we disapprove and consider the attempt in some sections of the Union to divide the Republican party ill-timed and unwise on the part of Republicans. That we consider the parties who are endeavoring to organ ize, known as Liberal Republicans, Free Traders, &c, naught but sugar coated plums out of Democratic Con fectioneriesbastards, sired by Demo crats and darned by lukewarm and short-sighted Republicans. Besolved 10th, That we condemn in a most decided manner the partisan laws enacted by the late Kuklux Legisla ture. That we disapprove of many of the amendments to our organic law as proposed in the "Constitutional amend ment bill" as a whole we condemn it in a most decided manner. Besolved Ufh, That we consider the policy of the advocates of free trade dangerous to the nation and destruc tive to home labor calculated to fill the overflowing coffers of the already enriched landowner and impoverish th laboror Besolved 12th, That our Representa tives in Congress, who value the safety and prosperity of the American Union, and have the interests of the people at heart, are requested to oppose the scheme of the "Free Traders" with all their power. Besolved 13th, That we will support with might and main the regular nom inees of the National Union Republi can party. . ' Bet-otved Uth. That the proceedings of this Convention be sent to The Car olina Era, with a reouest to publish in Weekly and Tri-Weekly. After the adoption of the foregoing resolutions the meeting was closed with short, but telling, speeches from Rich ard Falkner and John A. Hyman. One Democrat no, that name will not do, for he said he was not a Conserva tive, nor a Democrat, neither a Repub liean, so wc are forced to prefix the well merited epithet K. K. to Democrat, (for he moves with that party). This specimen of, not a Republican, not a Democrat, not a Conservative, not a WThig attempted a reply in which he endeavored to apologize for Democratic K. K. by bringing in the Lowery banditti as Republican K. K. and denouncing "white Radicals as office-seekers" and applauding "black Democrats as gentlemen," but was soon forced to "go back" on himself and became completely disgusted with his effort and quit "short-off' and the meeting closed amid roars of laughter. ..I- ALBERT BURGESS, Chairman.
